Chapter 78, The Humanoid Elixir of Immortality, Master Yuan [Please Subscribe!]

The next morning.

The spiritual mist above the holy city has not yet dissipated.

Su Ye sat cross-legged in a quiet room at the Yaochi residence.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his body was surrounded by a purple aura.

Deep within the sea of ​​suffering, the Emperor's heart beat at an extremely slow pace.

With each leap, a wisp of imperial blood overflowed from his heart, washing over his body.

A faint golden light shone on Su Ye's skin.

He began his cultivation after obtaining the Azure Emperor's Heart from the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

Every day at sunrise, at the moment the Emperor's heart beats, a wisp of the Emperor's blood essence is drawn to temper the bones and muscles.

A single strand of it is equivalent to several months of arduous cultivation by an ordinary cultivator.

Su Ye slowly opened her eyes.

A flash of purple light appeared in his eyes and disappeared.

His internal energy surged, and his cultivation at the Fourth Heaven of the Four Extremes became increasingly stable.

Light footsteps came from outside the door.

Then came two knocks on the door.

"Holy Son".

It was the voice of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, still clear and melodious.

Su Ye opened the door.

There was a person standing outside the door.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was dressed in snow-white robes, her face veiled, but her eyes, which were visible, were looking at him with a hint of a smile.

"The Holy Son looks quite well today."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi looked him up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"The Holy Son's vitality is even stronger than yesterday."

Su Ye nodded slightly and smiled faintly: "You've made some progress."

A hint of a smile flashed in the cold eyes of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"Yesterday, the Holy Son displayed his skills in the Stone Archway, and today, rumors are spreading like wildfire throughout the Holy City that the Holy Son of Yaochi is the reincarnation of the Celestial Master Yuan."

Su Ye's lips curled up slightly.

"The news spread quickly."

"It's not just fast."

Elder Yao Jin's voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

Today she changed into an elegant light blue dress, her long hair was tied up in a bun, and her temperament was gentle yet sharp.

"Early this morning, a long queue formed at the entrance of Yaochi Stone Workshop, all of them gamblers hoping to share in the luck of the Holy Son."

"Elder Liu has already sent someone to deliver a message, saying that more than three hundred stones have been prepared in the stone workshop, waiting for the Holy Son to come and choose."

"Furthermore, the Yaochi Stone Archway will be closed to all visitors today, open only for you."

Su Ye was slightly taken aback.

"Over three hundred yuan?"

"It's all the stone materials that Shifang has kept over the years, plus the new batches that arrived a few days ago. They've all been moved out."

Yao Jin's tone carried a hint of helpless smile.

"Rather than letting these stones gather dust in the courtyard, let the Holy Son go through them all."

"Cut what can be cut, and leave what can't be cut for the rogue cultivators to try their luck with."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi stood up, her white robes fluttering gently in the morning breeze.

"Yesterday, the Holy Son cut out the Dragon Pattern Black Gold and the Eternal Dragon Loach. Elder Liu probably wishes he could turn the stone workshop upside down and let you choose again."

Su Ye chuckled softly.

"Let's go then."

The gate of Yaochi Stone Archway was tightly closed.

The plaque above the door, bearing the four large characters "Yaochi Stone Archway," gleamed with a warm luster in the morning light.

A wooden sign hangs in front of the door with four characters written on it.

"Closed today."

Several early-rising independent cultivators stood outside the door, whispering among themselves.

"Why is it closed again? Wasn't it open just yesterday?"

"You didn't know? Yesterday, the Holy Son of Yaochi cut out a dragon-patterned black gold here!"

"Dragon-patterned black gold? One of the nine immortal golds? Really?"

Why would I lie to you!

"Now the whole Holy City is buzzing with the news that the Holy Son of Yaochi has received the inheritance of the Source Celestial Master."

Su Ye walked past these rogue cultivators.

They were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened in unison.

"It is—it is the Holy Son of Yaochi!"

"And the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and the powerful elders of Yaochi!"

Su Ye did not turn around and walked straight to the stone archway.

Elder Liu personally came out to greet them, his smile even brighter than yesterday.

"Your Highness! Elder Yao Jin! Holy Maiden! Please come in!"

She stepped aside to let the three of them in, and immediately closed the door again after they entered.

The rogue cultivators outside the door let out disappointed sighs.

Inside the Shifang Courtyard.

More than three hundred stones filled the entire courtyard.

The big ones are taller than a person, while the small ones are only the size of a fist.

Each stone has a price tag attached.

The cheapest item is priced at 30 jin of raw material, while the most expensive piece of dark red stone, about half a person's height, is priced at 120,000 jin of raw material.

Su Ye stood in the center of the courtyard, deep within the Sea of ​​Bitterness, where the tender leaves of the World Tree sapling trembled slightly.

The golden threads of energy on the leaves lit up one by one, like eyes opening in the darkness.

An invisible force of perception spread out from the World Tree.

That was the World Tree's keen perception of fluctuations in fortune.

Where fortune is abundant, treasures are hidden.

In his perception, the entire courtyard transformed into a pitch-black sea.

And on the sea surface, there were twinkling lights.

Some lights are faint like fireflies, some are bright like candlelight, and some are like torches.

There were even more stones, devoid of any light, submerged in darkness, like lifeless reefs.

Su Ye's fingers pointed at one stone after another.

"This one."

"This one."

"And this one too."

"Include this one too."

"This piece—no, put it back."

He selected more than a dozen stones in turn.

"Move everything out."

The fluctuations in fortune transmitted by the World Tree were clear and accurate.

He marked each of the valuable auras of fortune.

Skip over anything that's not worthwhile.

Elder Liu followed behind, staring in disbelief as Su Ye picked out stones like cabbages.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but swallowed it back and quickly called for several assistants to get to work.

The selected stones were lifted one by one onto the cutting platform.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi and Yao Jin stood side by side under the corridor, watching Su Ye's figure moving among the stones.

"What is the Holy Son doing—"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi spoke softly.

"Selecting stones".

Yao Jin's voice carried a hint of thoughtfulness.

"But he didn't use any eye techniques, nor did he pinch the stone to examine the patterns."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi shook her head.

"He didn't even glance at the stones—"

"He can sense what's inside the stone."

Yao Jin's tone became serious.

"I've only ever seen one description of this ability in the ancient texts of the Holy Land."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi glanced at her sideways.

"What description?"

"The Eye of the Primordial God!"

Yao Jin slowly uttered these four words.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi remained silent for a moment.

"But the Holy Son's eyes did not turn golden."

"That's the strangest part."

Yao Jin shook her head slightly.

"He is not seeing with his eyes, but perceiving in a way that we cannot understand."

After an incense stick had burned, Su Ye stopped.

He divided the 347 stones in the yard into two piles.

The pile on the left, which makes up about 20%, consists of stones he selected that possess extraordinary inherent fortune.

The pile on the right, which makes up 80%, consists of "worthless waste rocks".

Elder Liu walked to Su Ye's side and asked, "Your Highness, are all of these to be cut?"

Su Ye glanced at her.

"Complete cut".

"The rest aren't anything special, so we'll leave them for visitors to try their luck."

97

"If we don't even leave any good pieces for people, who will come to Yaochi Stone Workshop to gamble on stones in the future?"

A hint of approval flashed in Yao Jin's eyes.

This holy son is young, but he is very thoughtful.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi spoke softly from the side.

"The Holy Son's eye for selecting stones is just as accurate as it was yesterday."

Her cool, clear eyes looked at Su Ye.

"I'm very curious, how did the Holy Son make that judgment?"

Su Ye met her gaze.

"I can roughly sense the value of the inclusions within the stone."

"It's an innate intuition, and I can't explain why."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi chuckled and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you don't have the Origin Heaven Divine Eye, I would have thought you were the current successor of the Origin Heaven Master."

Master Yuan.

That was a legendary title that had been circulating in the Northern Regions for tens of thousands of years.

All the masters of the Yuan Dynasty were able to see through the stone and identify its source.

Once its iconic Heavenly Eye is opened, it can see through even the direction of the dragon veins beneath the earth at a glance.

More importantly, not only can the Source Master locate the source and determine the pulse, but he can also use source techniques to attack, making him invincible among those of the same level.

Ten thousand years ago, the fifth generation Source Master Zhang Lin used such methods to dominate the Northern Region, and even Saint Lord-level figures had to avoid his sharp edge.

Yang Yi, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi in that generation, and Zhang Lin have a past that has been buried by time.

"Master Yuan?"

Su Ye shook his head and chuckled, "I've never even seen the Origin Heaven Book. Saintess, you're joking."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi looked at him quietly for a moment, then did not ask any further questions.

Everyone has secrets, and she knows how to keep them in check.

Yao Jin walked to the stone-cutting platform and rolled up her sleeves.

"I will personally take charge today."

Elder Liu's eyes widened.

"Elder Yao Jin, you came in person?"

"What, you think my cooking isn't good enough?"

Yao Jin looked at her with a half-smile.

Elder Liu waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no! Elder Yao Jin's willingness to personally take charge is a blessing for the stone workshop."

The first stone was brought up.

Yao Jin raised her hand and brought her knife down.

The stone skin cracked immediately upon contact.

A fist-sized mass of alien energy rolled out from the stone core. It was silvery-white, with fine lightning patterns flowing inside.

"Silver Thunder Source, excellent quality."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi bent down, picked up the Origin Stone, and examined it closely.

"It's worth at least 5,000 jin of raw materials."

The second stone.

With a flick of Yao Jin's blade, the stone skin peeled away layer by layer.

A beam of golden light shot into the sky.

On the stone-cutting platform, a piece of divine energy, about a foot square, suddenly appeared.

Inside the divine source was a broken section of purple vine, its surface covered with fine silver Dao patterns.

"What is that?"

Elder Liu leaned closer to take a look.

Yao Jin's expression hardened slightly.

"A fragment of a sacred weapon—that is a remnant of a sacred weapon."

She stretched out her finger and gently touched the surface of the divine source.

"These silver Dao patterns are remnants of Dao traces from a Saint King level, although they are incomplete."

"However, the fragments of sacred laws contained within are of great value for cultivators at the Sendai Realm to comprehend."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi took a light breath.

"Fragments of sacred weapons, used for enlightenment, are of immeasurable value!"

Yao Jinyu's hand trembled slightly as she continued cutting the stone.

The third stone.

The fourth stone.

The fifth piece —

The gleam of the stone-cutting knife flashed continuously in the courtyard.

With each precious item cut out, Elder Liu's smile deepened.

Otherworldly sources, divine sources, fragments of sacred weapons, spirit stones, elixirs —

In just one hour, Yao Jin cut out a treasure worth over 300,000 jin of Origin.

The treasures next to the stone-cutting platform were piled up into a small mountain.

Just then—

Yao Jin's blade sliced ​​through the sixth stone, and a warm, green light slowly emanated from the crack in the stone's surface.

On the stone-cutting platform, a vibrant green herb lay quietly in the center of the stone.

The herb is only the size of a palm, with slender stems and leaves, and a pale golden bud the size of a grain of rice growing at its tip.

A rich life force emanates from the flower buds, its aroma refreshing and invigorating.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi let out a soft exclamation.

"This is----"

Yao Jin took a deep breath, her wrist sank, and the blade fell.

The stone skin cracked completely.

Lying in the heart of the stone is a half-foot-tall herb with snow-white roots and seven jade-green leaves supporting a golden bud about to bloom.

The entire herb emitted a soft glow.

The petals trembled gently, as if breathing in the essence of heaven and earth.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi took a deep breath of cool air.

"This is—a miraculous medicine for prolonging life!"

Yao Jin held the herb in both hands, her voice slightly trembling.

"The seven-petaled golden lotus can extend one's lifespan by three hundred years!"

It can extend one's lifespan by three hundred years.

When those words were spoken, the air in the courtyard seemed to freeze for a moment.

Longevity elixirs have always been priceless treasures in the Big Dipper.

Ordinary longevity pills can extend one's life by ten or twenty years, which is enough to bankrupt cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Only aristocratic families in sacred lands are qualified to possess elixirs that can extend lifespan by a hundred years.

This seven-leaf golden lotus can extend one's lifespan by a full three hundred years!

That's a heaven-defying item that can allow a powerful being whose lifespan is about to end to live for another three hundred years!

Yao Jin carefully used her divine power to envelop the Seven-Leaf Golden Lotus and sealed it into a jade box.

She turned to look at Su Ye, about to speak.

Su Ye spoke first.

"This longevity-promoting elixir can be left to those in the sacred land who have never taken it."

Yao Jin was slightly taken aback.

Her hand holding the jade box tightened slightly.

She looked at Su Ye, her gaze carrying a complex and inexplicable meaning.

A sacred medicine that can extend lifespan by three hundred years is enough to make any cultivator fight tooth and nail to seize it.

The sifting of stones continued.

When the last stone was cut, the cutting table was piled high with all sorts of treasures.

Alien Origin, Divine Origin, Fragments of Sacred Weapons, Remnants of Spiritual Herbs, Fragments of Ancient Artifacts —

Dazzling.

Su Ye said, "We should go and take a look at the other stone workshops in the Holy City."

Yao Jin's eyes narrowed, and she smiled slightly, "Holy Son, are you really going to another stone workshop?"

Su Ye nodded, saying undeniably, "The Holy City isn't just home to Yaochi Stone Workshop."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi glanced at him sideways, a hint of a smile hidden in her eyes.

"Holy Son, are you planning to sweep away all the good stuff in the Holy City's stone workshops?"

Su Ye's lips curled up slightly.

"Since we're already here, wouldn't it be a wasted trip if we didn't explore all the stone archways in the holy city?"

Dao Yi Stone Archway is located on East Street of the Holy City.

Unlike the understated elegance of Yaochi Stone Archway, Daoyi Stone Archway takes a grand and imposing approach.

The three-story pavilion was entirely constructed of white jade, with a gleaming golden plaque hanging above the doorway.

When Su Ye and the other two entered, the stone archway was bustling with activity.

A dozen or so slackers were gathered around several expensive stones, discussing and appraising them.

"This one is good. The stone skin is covered with dense golden veins, so there must be a different kind of stone inside."

"Come on, you said the same thing last time, and it turned out to be all waste."

"That nine-aperture stone figure is indeed a rare item, but unfortunately, it's too expensive. Who can afford 50,000 jin of Origin?"

Su Ye walked into the stone archway gate. The hall of Dao Yi Stone Archway was much wider than that of Yao Chi Stone Archway.

Hundreds of stones are neatly arranged, each one having been selected by the stone appraisers at the stone workshop.

The higher the price tag, the further back it is displayed.

Su Ye's gaze swept across the hall, and the World Tree sapling in the Bitter Sea trembled slightly.

Qi Luck Sensing is activated.

His steps stopped at the southwest corner of the hall.

In the corner sat a piece of gray-black stone, about half the height of a person.

The stone skin is rough, with no gold patterns or luster on the surface, and looks like an ordinary mountain rock.

Price: 3,000 jin of raw materials.

The price is clearly marked, there's no denying it, it's there for people to gamble on.

Next to this stone is a small flag with the words "Cold Zone Stone" written on it.

The so-called "cold zone" refers to the area where stone appraisers determine that the probability of finding a valuable stone is extremely low.

Su Ye walked up to the stone and gently patted the stone surface.

Within the Sea of ​​Bitterness, three golden threads of fortune simultaneously lit up on the leaves of the World Tree.

The fluctuation of that aura was not intense, but it carried an extremely ancient and weathered feel.

Su Ye stopped and looked at the stone archway elder who was coming to greet him.

"I'll take this one."

Elder Shifang gave him a surprised look.

"Sir, the yield of high-quality stones from this cold region is extremely low. Why don't you take a look at some other stones?"

"This one."

Su Ye took out three thousand catties of source energy, swiftly and decisively.

Elder Shifang shook his head, accepted the source, and then called over the stone-cutting master.

The stone cutter was an elderly man with gray hair who had been in the business for over a hundred years.

He glanced at Su Ye, then at the dull gray stone, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Young master, are you sure you want to make the cut?"

"cut."

The stone cutter said no more, took out his stone-cutting knife, and began to work.

The first cut landed.

The stone skin remained completely still.

The stone cutter exclaimed "Eh!" and increased the pressure.

Second knife.

The stone finally cracked open.

A bone-chilling cold seeped out from the crack.

The stone cutter shuddered, a thin layer of frost forming on his hands as he gripped the knife.

"It's so cold————"

Yao Jin frowned slightly, stepped forward, and protected Su Ye and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi behind her.

The third cut.

The stone skin crumbled.

A blinding white light shot into the sky.

The cold air spread like a tide.

On the stone-cutting platform, a crystal-clear source of ice and snow floats silently.

The source material is as pure as water, with a broken root sealed inside.

The root was no more than three inches long, pale gold in color, with a few faint natural patterns remaining on its surface.

Although the patterns are incomplete, they still exude an indescribable sacred aura.

The stone cutter stared blankly at the source of ice and snow.

"What is this?!"

His voice was trembling.

Yao Jin's divine sense swept over that section of root.

A moment later, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"The Elixir of Immortality—"

"This is a fragment of the root of an elixir of immortality!"

The entire hall fell silent instantly.

Everyone was staring at the source of ice and snow on the cutting platform.

The elixir of immortality.

That is a supreme celestial treasure that even the Great Emperor would fight for.

Consuming a complete elixir of immortality allows one to live a second life and maintain peak combat power.

Even the incomplete roots of the immortal elixir are of immeasurable value.

An extension of several hundred years is the lowest estimate.

The stone cutter's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

"An elixir of immortality!"

The Elixir of Immortality!

These four words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar among the crowd.

"An elixir of immortality?!"

"Impossible?! There are only a handful of immortal herbs in the entire world!"

"That's not the complete elixir of immortality; it's just a fragmented root!"

Even the broken roots are part of the elixir of immortality!

"Taking it will not grant you a second life, but it will at least extend your lifespan by several hundred years!"

"A lifespan of several hundred years —"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

A chorus of voices rose and fell in the hall of Dao Yi Stone Archway.

Just then, several elderly men with gray hair and wrinkled faces squeezed out from the crowd.

Their auras were not weak, and their cultivation levels were between the Dragon Transformation Realm and the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform Realm.

But everyone exuded an undeniable air of decay.

That's the taste of someone whose lifespan is about to end.

Leading the way was an old cultivator in a gray robe, who was at the first level of the Immortal Ascension Realm.

He stared intently at the piece of ice and snow in Su Ye's hand, his cloudy old eyes flashing with an almost frenzied light.

"Young friend!"

His voice was hoarse and dry.

"I am willing to offer 200,000 jin of medicinal resources to buy that section of your immortal herb root!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than another hunchbacked old man stepped forward.

"You dare offer 200,000 jin of raw material? I'll offer 250,000 jin!"

"Three hundred thousand catties!"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand catties!"

Several old guys were vying to raise the price.

The gray-robed old cultivator's expression grew increasingly grim.

He turned to look at Yao Jin and found that the woman had a deep aura and was obviously not to be trifled with, so he forced a smile and looked at Su Ye.

"Young friend, although this incomplete root of the immortal herb is precious, it may not be of much use to a young person as talented as you."

"Why not exchange it for some more tangible resources to help you break through sooner?"

Su Ye glanced at him, her tone indifferent.

"Not for sale."

The old monk in gray robes froze on his smile.

Another tall, thin old man from the first level of Sendai said in a deep voice, "Young man, you should know when to advance and when to retreat. It's just a broken root, nothing special."

His tone carried a subtle threat.

"What if it were someone else?"

Yao Jin's voice suddenly rang out.

She stepped forward, no longer concealing her aura from the second level of the Sendai Heaven.

A terrifying pressure poured down like a celestial river, instantly enveloping those old guys.

The array patterns throughout the entire hall lit up simultaneously, emitting a humming sound as if it were about to collapse under the strain.

The old gray-robed cultivator's face drained of all color instantly.

His cultivation level was only at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Faced with the pressure of a powerful being at the second level of the Immortal Platform Realm, he even had difficulty breathing.

"Great—Greatly Powerful Cultivator—"

"We are only discussing this with you because of your status as the Holy Son of Yaochi. If it were anyone else—"

The tall, thin old man's voice was filled with horror.

Sendai's second heaven is a realm of great power.

Although it is only one level above Sendai, the difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

A half-step Great Power is nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter in the face of a true Great Power.

Yao Jin looked down at them, her voice as cold as the northern wind.

"Do you think you old fogies with one foot in the grave can threaten me, the Holy Son of Yaochi?"

"If anyone dares to say another word, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

The tall, thin old man shivered and backed away.

"It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Please don't be angry, senior!"

The gray-robed old cultivator gritted his teeth, refused to look at the source of ice and snow again, and turned to leave.

The old men slunk away from Dao Yi Stone Archway.

Everyone else in the hall fell silent, no one daring to look at Su Ye again.

Yao Jin gave him a cold glance, then turned back to Su Ye's side.

She lowered her voice.

"Holy Son, first put away the roots of the Immortal Elixir."

"This thing is too tempting; it's hard to guarantee that some reckless people won't take the risk."

"6
