Chapter 42 Humanoid Elixir of Immortality, Nine-Aperture Stone Man

There is an old Taoist nun in the Tianzihao Stone Garden. She is a master who guards the stone workshop of the Daoist Holy Land.

Following behind Shi Feng, the large crowd suddenly stopped outside the park; this was not a place for ordinary people.

Fortunately, the top-tier stone gardens are not very large, so they can observe them from the outside.

Yao Yuekong smiled and said, "Your Highness, if you were to acquire a fine treasure, would you consider auctioning it at my Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace?"

Shi Feng said, "If there is a need for an auction, I will contact Brother Yuekong."

But what we cut today is absolutely impossible to sell.

Several elderly people followed behind Shi Feng. They were old people who had been traveling around various stone archways for many years and knew the rare stones in the top-ranked stone gardens of various sacred sites like the back of their hand.

An old man kindly advised Shi Feng: "Young man, you must be careful. The rare stones in the Heavenly Stone Garden are beyond the control of even those families of Origin Arts, which is why they are put up for auction. Countless people want to gamble, but they end up losing everything."

These elderly people wandering in the stone archway are mostly renowned figures or senior elders from various sacred sites, who all suffered greatly in their youth.

Shi Feng said, "Since the families of Origin Arts can't understand it, why not just not use Origin Arts? The great way is simple. Just rely on your inner intuition to understand and feel the pulse of heaven and earth, and you will naturally be able to select good stones."

The old man chuckled, "If intuition were useful, this stone garden would have been emptied long ago. Would it still be there for you to cut stones?"

Shi Feng said, "Old man, would you like to try it with me?"

"No, no, that's bad for your health."

The old man waved his hands repeatedly, "I'll only look at this, I won't touch it."

After strolling around and learning about all the unique stones in the Tianzihao Stone Garden, Shi Feng selected a particularly large stone, as tall as a person, but at a very low price of only 3,000 jin of raw material, which was basically the floor price here.

He stroked the large stone: "Such a big stone, it must be very comfortable to lie on and sleep on it. This thing is destined for me, so I'll take it."

Several elderly onlookers shook their heads repeatedly. How could such a childish stone-cutting method possibly yield any good results? This young man probably knew that his judgment was unreliable, so he chose a cheap one.

Three thousand catties of source energy might be a lot for others, but for the successor of the Azure Emperor, it wasn't a serious injury. Consider it a lesson learned.

Not to mention these old people, even Jiang Yifei and others didn't think highly of Shi Feng. Jiang Yifei had met some Source Masters, and they knew that identifying these strange stones required careful examination with Source Techniques, but Shi Feng hadn't used Source Techniques at all.

Among the onlookers, most people didn't think highly of Shi Feng. Wu Ziming even wanted to say something sarcastic, but he chickened out when he thought of Shi Feng's overwhelming combat power.

I can't compete with him in terms of background or fighting ability, so I'll play it safe for now and then join the crowd in mocking him mercilessly!

Shi Feng personally cut open the stone skin, being very careful with each cut.

Suddenly, the stone split open naturally, and a dazzling light shot out, with figures flying through the air.

Immediately, the onlookers became excited.

"It's shipped! It really shipped!"

"It's a human figure, a fairy descending from the stone!"

Even the old Taoist nun with her eyes closed couldn't help but open them. She, along with Jiang Yifei's protector and the Azure Dragon King hiding in the shadows, worked together to seal off the stone garden to prevent the strange creature inside from escaping.

The Azure Dragon King spoke up: "Your Highness, you may cut it open, but I will not let it fly away."

Shi Feng's movements became increasingly precise. The elixir of immortality had already been damaged, and he couldn't allow it to be damaged again.

He peeled away the stone's outer layer, and a chilling aura emanated from it, along with a fragrant spiritual energy.

This must contain a precious source of exotic species.

Those who could smell the fragrance alone believed that the contents must be rare treasures.

Shi Feng completely peeled off the stone skin, and a palm-sized piece of ice and snow fell into his palm. In the center of the source was a plant, consisting only of roots and stems connected to a tuber shaped like a foot.

"Why are the herbs incomplete?"

The onlookers were filled with regret, saying, "It's a pity that the most crucial medicinal herbs are missing; it's not very valuable."

Shi Feng didn't feel it was a pity. The complete elixir of immortality was impossible to obtain; it could only follow the ancient emperors, and he could never even touch it.

He immediately put the ice and snow source into the sea of ​​bitterness, and the fragrance of herbs in the air disappeared instantly.

Several elderly people said, "Young man, could you let me see that herb again? This old man is thinking of an ancient divine medicine that might be related to this."

Shi Feng shook his head: "No matter what kind of medicine it is, it's already ruined. There's no need to look at it. I'll just keep it as a collection."

"Young man, you won't even let us see it. Could it be that you've already recognized its great value and don't want to show it to others? I'm willing to pay 90,000 jin to buy it."

Shi Feng said, "I don't know anything about medicinal herbs, but since I cut it out, it means I have a connection with it, and I won't sell it to others."

An old man suddenly said, "Legend has it that in ancient times there was an elixir of immortality that took the form of a human, but unfortunately it has been extinct for too long, and even the traditions surrounding it have disappeared. Could it be because it suffered a calamity?"

An elderly man offered: "I'll offer 150,000 jin of the elixir. Let me see it. If it really is the elixir of immortality, I'll buy it."

Shi Feng laughed: "I'll give you 150,000 catties of Origin, and you give me an elixir of immortality."

The old man argued, "That herb is damaged and almost dead, so it's definitely not worth the same price as a normal immortal herb."

"I told you I'm not selling. Can't you understand human language?"

Shi Feng's eyes were indifferent. "Or are you saying you're dying, old man, and your hearing is failing you?"

For these elderly people, their lifespan was their greatest concern. When Shi Feng told them to their faces that they were about to die, they were furious.

But at the same time, two auras pressed down on him, causing his expression to change drastically, and he could only slink away.

Everyone else kept a low profile. Shi Feng was no ordinary rogue cultivator; on the contrary, he had an astonishing background and even possessed an imperial weapon. It was best not to make a fool of himself.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang, watching from the sidelines, had a fleeting look in her eyes. She hadn't expected that Shi Feng could actually prescribe the elixir of immortality.

As for his claim that he didn't recognize the medicinal herbs, nobody believed him. If he really didn't recognize them, he wouldn't be watching them so closely.

The more Shi Feng refused to show it to others, the more they believed that he had unearthed something valuable.

The remaining elderly people stared at him expectantly:

"Young man, are you still going to drive it?"

They felt that Shi Feng, being a novice, was in a period of novice protection and might be able to prescribe a miraculous medicine that could prolong life.

Shi Feng is still young and definitely doesn't need it. We can sell it to them when the time comes.

"Of course I'll open it."

Shi Feng leisurely strolled around twice before arriving at the Nine-Aperture Stone Man.

"Many masters of Source Arts have studied this nine-aperture stone figure, but no one dares to touch it. Are you really going to open it?"

The old men were all astonished. This thing was only one foot long, yet it was worth 90,000 jin of Yuan, which was ridiculously expensive.

Shi Feng said, "What does it have to do with me if everyone else isn't using Source Techniques? I don't understand Source Techniques. I just feel that I am a living person and it is a stone person. I have nine orifices and it also has nine orifices. We are very destined to be together."

Here we are, it's fate again.

The group of elderly people were puzzled. They had spent most of their lives in the stone workshop and were quite familiar with source techniques. They were certain that Shi Feng had not used any source techniques.

Is he a hothead, or is he really confident?

Under their watchful eyes, Shi Feng bought the Nine-Aperture Stone Man and began cutting the stone in front of everyone.
