Chapter 131 World-Shaking

"Hurry up and cut these two rough stones, then keep picking!"

"Brother Zhan, your copper coins are truly incredible!"

"That's incredible! They even managed to find a level 3 Cordyceps. Are there any other good things in this mine?"

Inside the Li family's mine, the onlookers all spoke up, saying that following Li Lan today had truly broadened their horizons.

"Don't rush,"

Li Lan smiled calmly, then picked up the stone knife and cut one of the raw stones open!

This raw stone is not particularly eye-catching, and its value is only a dozen kilograms of immortal essence, which is considered very low even in the Xuan-class mining area.

But at this moment, as he seemingly casually brought down his knife, a chilling aura suddenly emanated from the stone!

The crowd around them, who had been filled with anticipation, suddenly felt a chill run through their bodies, as if they were being watched by some strange creature, and they all trembled!

Boom!

At the same time, the protective array of the Li family mine was activated on its own!

"what?!"

Li Daofeng, having just obtained the life-extending elixir, the Three-Turn Cordyceps, widened his eyes in astonishment upon seeing this!

Damn, another good thing has been invented?!

There wasn't this much commotion when the cordyceps came out after three cycles... What is it this time?

……

The last remaining stone in the Blood Refining Source is called the Great Seal Stone. It is about half a person's height, smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, square and upright, like a large seal.

Gu Shengtian had also seen this raw stone, but he couldn't see through its true nature, so he didn't make a move.

At this moment, his blade had already cut into the body of the Great Seal Stone, and he felt a sudden delay. This indicated that the Great Seal Stone was extremely hard and strong. However, he had been practicing the Source Technique for a long time, so he wielded the blade like the wind and was not hindered.

The large seal stone was gradually cleaved open.

"What's going on? We've reached the bottom, and there's still no source?"

"White Heart Stone?"

"No way……"

As the large seal stone was cut smaller and smaller until only a fist-sized core remained, still whitish, but containing nothing of value, not even the most common immortal essence, everyone was astonished.

"what?!"

But at that moment, Gu Shengtian suddenly stopped his sword, his eyes widening in shock, and then gently placed his hand on the last stone core.

His hand trembled slightly as he caressed the ordinary white heart stone. Suddenly, his face turned ashen, and the stone knife in his hand clattered to the ground!

"what happened?"

What exactly is it?

"This still looks like a white heart stone!"

Everyone was utterly baffled.

Xue Lianyuan smiled faintly and said, "How about it? This item is worth seven or eight thousand catties of immortal essence. I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Gu Shengtian remained silent; at this moment, the expression on his face underwent a complete transformation…

There was the pain of pride being utterly shattered, the self-mockery of suddenly realizing one's own insignificance, and a deep sense of resentment... but in the end, it all turned into despair and helplessness. Looking up, one could only give a bitter smile!

"Naturally created things have the potential to evolve into immortal artifacts... It's only natural that such a thing would yield seven or eight thousand catties of immortal essence upon its birth."

"I, Gu, have lost!"

After saying that, his face turned pale, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, in his despair, his source energy was affected!

"Big brother!"

"Son!"

The people from Gu Yuanshi's lineage rushed forward to help him up!

"Lost?"

"How could he possibly lose?"

"what is this?"

The onlookers around were all asking questions, completely baffled as to what was going on.

Cao Yueshu and Mu Jianxian also looked surprised and doubtful!

Blood Refining Source sneered, picked up the last piece of White Heart Stone, and tapped it lightly with his hand.

The outer layer of stone shattered instantly, and in his hand appeared a naturally formed stone seal!

The stone seal was very small, no bigger than an egg, but it was as smooth and warm as jade, and it was surrounded by a mysterious and unpredictable aura of the Great Dao. It was obviously extraordinary!

"A naturally formed magical artifact!"

"It's actually a naturally formed magical artifact!"

"No wonder, no wonder!"

For a moment, everyone in the room was shocked.

Created from stone, born of heaven and earth, this magical artifact is extremely precious. In fact, with the continuous input of the corresponding materials, this stone seal may be upgraded to a celestial artifact in the future!

-- That's how the Zhu family of the Northern Frontier acquired one of their sacred artifacts.

So, who wouldn't be surprised?

"What a pity. This thing was born from a white stone. If it had been nourished by divine source, it might have been born as a celestial artifact. Its current grade is still a bit low. To transform it into a saint-level artifact, it will require a massive investment of resources! ...However, its estimated value is definitely worth 7,500 catties of celestial source!"

The chief appraiser of the Celestial Court Auction House spoke solemnly!

Seven thousand five!

These words caused a complex expression to appear on everyone's faces.

This is just a Xuan-level mining area. Normally, finding a source of over a thousand catties would be like winning the lottery, causing a sensation. The mine would then advertise it extensively to attract visitors!

But now, the ceiling has been raised to 7,500.

Even within the top-tier mining areas, it's rare to find such a source of raw stone!

"This is too powerful! Blood Refining Source truly lives up to its reputation as a Blood Source lineage; its total source gain has already exceeded ten thousand!"

"Gu Shengtian was also a master of Origin Techniques, but he encountered an even stronger opponent..."

"The Sun Moon Sect was wise to ask Gu Shengtian for help, and they still lost. If it had been that Zhan Yiyuan who relied on luck, he probably wouldn't even know how he died..."

Many people were moved!

Cao Yueshu and Mu Jianxian both let out a long sigh at this moment!

"Although the Ancient Origin Master lineage is strong enough, it is ultimately no match for the Blood Origin lineage. I think we should stop fighting tomorrow."

Upon seeing this, Li Daoling was overjoyed and immediately spoke deliberately, looking at Cao Yueshu!

He felt that all the frustration and depression he felt yesterday had vanished!

Now that even the strongest Gu Shengtian has been defeated, how can the pro-war faction resist?

"I've heard that the old source masters of the Ancient Source Master lineage are nearing their end and can no longer use source techniques. Gu Shengtian is the strongest force that the Ancient Source Master lineage can still utilize."

"And the Blood Source lineage still has an old Blood Master, the master of Blood Refining Stone and Blood Refining Source. How can the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect compete with that?"

"The peace faction has lost!"

Everyone started to speak.

But Cao Yueshu said in a deep voice, "Of course we should compete. It's just a draw now. Don't you think Brother Li is being too happy too soon?"

"Hahaha……"

Li Daoling laughed loudly: "Even the Ancient Saint Heaven has lost, what do you have to compare with us? What confidence do you have left? Do you expect to rely on your luck-based method of identifying the source of the alien source? Hahaha..."

His laughter was extremely hearty, because now, the overall situation had been settled!

Everyone feels the same way!

But at this very moment—

Boom!

A terrifying surge of energy suddenly emanated from another direction!

"Huh? What's going on?"

"A protective array! A protective array for the mine! Could it be that some rare and precious treasure has been discovered?"

"Huh, it's actually the Li family's mine? What's going on?"

For a moment, everyone was stunned!

"Are all the source warriors here today? Are there still people gambling on source resources at the Li family's mine?"

"This commotion is no less than that of the Ancient Saint Heaven and the Blood Refining Source!"

"This is absolutely a priceless treasure!"

They all spoke up, their curiosity evident!

Even Li Daoling was taken aback and wondered what was going on.

Their Li family mine had already been secretly searched by Blood Refining Source, Blood Refining Stone, and others, so how could such a source material still appear?!

He glanced at Xue Lianyuan subconsciously, only to see that Xue Lianyuan also had a slight frown.

Cao Yueshu, for some unknown reason, suddenly had a flash of joy in his eyes, but quickly suppressed it and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, why don't we move over and take a look?"

Even without him saying it, many people couldn't hold back any longer and rushed towards the Li family's mine, eager to see what was going on!

Who is it? What is it that could cause such a huge disturbance?

In an instant, crowds surged toward the Li family's mine, with experts from various factions following suit!
