117: Divine Source
When Wang Yusheng heard this, he already had a plan.
His eyes sparkled brightly.
Purple Qi swirled around him as he continued to observe the stone material.
He was confident that this item could yield something good.
But after all, it was his first time showing his face in front of the Clan Chief.
He couldn't mess it up, otherwise, he wouldn't get this opportunity again in the future.
It was better to be careful.
Just at this moment, a slightly mocking voice came from the side.
"What's with the pretense? I thought he was a Disciple from some Source Art Family, but I didn't expect him to pick a Sky-Cracked Stone."
"Ridiculous, ridiculous."
"A mere Cultivator, ignorant of the vastness of the world, dares to make a fool of himself here."
A Young Master with oiled hair and powdered face waved his folding fan, showing his disdain.
Behind him followed an old man, also a Cultivator of the Divine Fire Realm.
Everyone could tell at a glance that this person was of no ordinary background.
Otherwise, how could he have a Divine Fire Venerable accompanying him?
One by one, they became interested and gathered around, wanting to see what was happening.
They then discovered the stone Wang Yusheng had chosen.
It was covered in cracks, indicating that its vital essence was exposed, and it certainly wouldn't yield anything good.
Everyone who frequented this place was an old hand.
Who didn't know a little about the art of stone observation?
One by one, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
"Although this stone is large, it doesn't look like it can yield anything good."
"This Young Master is a bit too impulsive! Ten thousand catties is not a small sum, he'll likely lose everything."
Someone kindly walked up.
"Young friend, this stone is covered in cracks, a sign of vital Qi leakage. It's likely empty inside, a natural waste rock (waste stone), and certainly not worth ten thousand catties of Source."
However, that female Disciple from Yaochi Holy Land did not stop him.
Buying and selling was a matter of personal choice.
Before payment, others were free to comment.
This was the rule of the Yaochi Holy Land Gambling Stone Workshop, which was quite lenient.
Wang Yusheng frowned, then said decisively, "This is it!"
..."Idiot! Clown, showing off."
The Young Master with oiled hair and powdered face couldn't help but sneer.
He was the third Young Master of the Liu Family, a Source Art Family from the Southern Domain, and had considerable research in the art of finding and examining Source veins.
Although the stone materials he favored might not necessarily yield anything, he was certain that if he said something wouldn't work, it wouldn't.
This Young Master was probably a fool.
Others tried to dissuade him, but he wouldn't listen.
He just loved giving money away.
Such a brainless fellow, he found him nothing but laughable and amusing.
"Alright, please come this way to settle the payment."
The female Disciple from Yaochi Holy Land led the two to a small building that blocked Divine Thought.
The environment was quite elegant.
Wang Dong didn't hesitate at all, with a wave of his hand, he paid 10,000 catties of Source.
After the Yaochi Holy Land female Disciple verified it, she asked, "Will you cut it here or take it with you?"
"Let's cut it back home!"
The Young Master with oiled hair and powdered face mocked again.
Wang Yusheng was only sixteen or seventeen, a hot-blooded age.
He could endure once, twice, but how could he endure again?
He had already made up his mind to severely slap his face in front of everyone.
He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Cut it right here." Immediately, a Source-opening master walked up and stood on the high platform.
After Wang Yusheng's consent, the stone-cutting began on site.
Stone-cutting was very particular; he first bowed before starting the operation.
Crack, the several thousand catties of stone material was cut in half.
The smooth cut surface was exposed to everyone's eyes.
The inside was the same as the outer stone skin, without any Qi.
"Alas, not listening to old advice leads to immediate losses."
"Such a huge price, yet not even a sound."
"He's probably the Young Master of some big shot, not lacking this much."
Everyone present shook their heads and sighed.
The Young Master surnamed Liu, Liu Sheng, even mocked him publicly.
"What kind of trash? I told you it wouldn't work, it just wouldn't, but you insisted on buying it."
His tone was disdainful, even personal.
Wang Dong glanced at that person but didn't speak.
Wang Yusheng, however, squinted at Liu Sheng: If I open something that blinds your dog eyes...
"Oh? The kid is quite confident. Then this Young Master wants to see how you'll open it."
Liu Sheng was not annoyed.
He just continued to add fuel to the fire.
The next moment, Wang Yusheng took a step forward.
He made a gesture at a quarter of the way down the right side of the stone material.
"Cut from here."
The Source-opening master, hearing this, did not delay.
He made a cut with his hand.
Crack! Clang!
The stone skin peeled off, and dazzling light burst forth from within.
A rich vital Qi instantly surged out.
It made everyone's pores open up, as if they were soaking in a hot spring.
This! This was undoubtedly a Divine Source of extremely high quality.
Everyone was shocked.
Although this Divine Source was only the size of a fingernail, less than one liang.
But its color was magnificent, and its brilliance shimmered.
Top-grade!
"This Sky-Cracked Stone can actually give birth to Divine Source! It's simply incredible."
"Unbelievable! Such quality is worth at least twenty to thirty thousand catties!"
"Terrifying! The Young Master's Dao cultivation is profound, this old man's eyes are dim."
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with shock.
Liu Sheng's expression was not good.
"You sure got lucky. Even this Sky-Cracked Stone can yield Divine Source."
"Heh! You dog-eyed scoundrel who looks down on others, what do you care what stone I open? I just ask, is it dazzling or not?"
Wang Yusheng felt his spirits lift, pointing at the stone and mocking him unreservedly.
"Heh heh, just good luck, what's there to be proud of?"
Liu Sheng continued to argue.
"Luck is also a form of strength."
Wang Yusheng was too lazy to bother with him anymore.
He returned to the Clan Chief's side.
"How was it?"
"Not bad."
Wang Dong nodded with a smile, quite satisfied.
"This is just a warm-up. Watch me brew something big for you next."
Wang Yusheng was very happy, even more confident in his Legacy.
"This young friend has such good luck. This old man has been a Source-opening master for decades, and this is the first time I've seen a Sky-Cracked Stone yield Divine Source."
At this moment, the Source-opening master was also very surprised, he took out that small piece of Divine Source and handed it to Wang Yusheng.
Wang Yusheng did not reach out to take it.
The Source-opening master realized and handed it to Wang Dong.
Wang Dong took it and examined it carefully in his hand.
He had never seen Divine Source before.
The Qi emanating from it carried vital life essence, purer than ordinary Source.
No wonder it could Seal powerful Cultivators for countless eras, resisting the erosion of time.
Wang Dong marveled in his heart.
This gambling on stones was indeed a good way to quickly earn wealth.
In a blink of an eye, he had gained an extra ten to twenty thousand Source.
One must know that in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, this would take a long time to accumulate.
Of course, this was still far from what was needed for the Sect Protecting Array... Wang Yusheng continued to pace.
He started circling the high platform again.
His eyes gleamed with brilliant light, constantly examining each stone.
However, he did not make a move, but observed very cautiously.
Many Cultivators were influenced by him and also entered the arena to choose.
But they all left dejectedly, almost all of them were waste stones.
There were also some lucky ones who cut out a piece of exotic Source, emitting astonishing Qi, with extremely rich life Qi.
This was a wood-type Source, which greatly helped some Cultivators who controlled the Dao of Wood.
Its value was considerable, at least around 100,000 catties.
It was at this moment that Wang Yusheng made his move.
