Chapter 808 A Bountiful Harvest! A Sword Embryo Revealed Through Cutting the Stone!
With the four source stones combined, Chu Yang paid Yaochi Stone Workshop 110,000 jin of source stones.
He resold it to Jin Chixiao and made a profit of 70,000 jin!
Although Jin Chixiao has already left, it won't be long before the news reaches his ears.
It can only be said that harming others ultimately harms oneself; Chu Yang's scheme was set up entirely for the enemy.
He glanced at Yao Xi without leaving a trace. This woman would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Back in the Zixia Mountains, he had stolen the legacy of a powerful being that should have belonged to her.
The bronze bowl is still in his sea of suffering, and Chu Yang has not touched the emerald green liquid and the black catfish inside.
These three things can only maximize their effect when put together.
However, its effect is only directed at the soul, or rather, divine thought, which is why it has never been put to use.
Moreover, Chu Yang didn't believe that Yao Xi, with her personality, would have no interest in the earthly inheritance she possessed.
In addition, there was also the Holy Son of Yao Guang, so Chu Yang always suspected that the Yao Guang Holy Land was probably the one secretly instigating the Wan Chu Holy Land and the Dayan Holy Land.
Therefore, his original target was Xiang Yifei, the Holy Son of Dayan!
Chu Yang noticed that Xiang Yifei had originally wanted to step forward, but after Yao Xi glanced at him, he retreated.
Although I failed to trick the target I had in mind, I was able to confirm that my guess was correct!
Chu Yang composed himself, looked at Xia Yiming, and said with a smile, "Brother Xia, let's continue!"
Xia Yiming waved his hand and said, "I am ashamed to admit that I am not as proficient as Young Emperor Chu in Origin Techniques!"
"There's no need to continue. I've lost this bet!"
"You may choose any source stones within the Jade Pool Stone Workshop!"
After glancing at the four source stones he had just selected, Chu Yang put them away and said, "Then I won't be polite!"
Xia Yiming was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. After laughing, he paid for the four source stones.
This scene left Li Heishui and his three companions dumbfounded.
"What's going on? Has Brother Chu changed his mind?" Liu Kou asked, looking bewildered.
Li Heishui curled his lip and said, "I think..."
"There must be no other source stones in this stone garden that would catch his eye!"
"Besides, he's already made a fortune today. Compared to some petty gains, wouldn't it be more worthwhile to do the prince of Great Xia a favor?"
"Tsk tsk tsk...you really are full of mischief..." Jiang Huai-ren clicked his tongue in amazement. "Brother Chu isn't like you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly remembered the whole process of Chu Yang tricking Jin Chixiao, and immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
After watching the spectacle, and seeing that none of the various prodigies intended to fight Chu Yang, the onlookers gradually dispersed.
Chu Yang and Xia Yiming walked side by side towards the exit, chatting and laughing.
Li Heishui and the others didn't follow; they were also itching to pick out a few source stones.
Chu Yang suspected that they were still plotting to win the Jade Pool Saintess...
"Brother Chu, this is my younger sister, Xia Yilin!" Xia Yiming pulled over the little nun in white and introduced her to Chu Yang.
Unbeknownst to him, his way of addressing Chu Yang had changed from "Young Emperor Chu" to "Brother Chu," and their relationship had become much closer.
This surprised both Chu Yang and Xia Yilin.
Chu Yang knew that Xia Yiming was a sister-obsessed man who hated it most when others approached his sister or tried to make a move on her.
But at this moment, he actually took the initiative to introduce Xia Yilin to me!
Good guy!
After the bet, he not only made a fortune, but also gained the trust and sincerity of the Great Xia prince...
What is this?
Are you someone who's been sold out and is still helping them count the money?
In fact, Chu Yang did not intend to befriend Xia Yiming. Getting to know him today was enough.
When you go to Zhongzhou in the future, you can use this connection to go directly to the Great Xia Dynasty, under the guise of being a guest, to plot the Taihuang Sutra.
In fact, Li Heishui's prediction was half right. One of the reasons why Chu Yang didn't finish him off in the end was that there were no more source stones of great value left in the Heavenly Stone Garden.
The real treasures are in the four source stones and the old tortoise stone that I took with me!
On the other hand, when Jin Chixiao stepped forward, Xia Yiming wanted to step in and help.
The two met for the first time, and the matter had nothing to do with Xia Yiming, yet the other party was willing to step forward, which left a very good impression on Chu Yang.
That's why he "made an exception." Otherwise, regardless of the value, he would have taken all the Originium that could yield something, and the amount of Originium he would have had to pay would have been astronomical!
Xia Yiming definitely doesn't have that many Sources. He'll probably be detained by the Yaochi Holy Land, who will contact his father to send Sources from Zhongzhou...
"Emperor Chu... Young Emperor Chu..." the little nun in white said timidly, her personality somewhat soft.
Chu Yang smiled and nodded, then looked at Xia Yiming and said meaningfully, "Given your sister's personality, she is indeed more suited to quiet cultivation in a temple."
Given the pure and kind nature of the little nun in white, if she were to travel alone in the cultivation world, even with the strength of a saintess, she would probably be completely deceived and taken advantage of.
Xia Yiming nodded with a wry smile, looking at Xia Yilin with a touch of doting affection.
After parting ways with the brother and sister, Chu Yang returned to the demon clan's palace alone.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the palace, he saw a familiar figure.
The other person also saw him, then knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Greetings, my lord!"
Chu Yang was somewhat amused and exasperated. The Golden-Winged Roc King seemed arrogant and domineering, but how did it become so childish and immature after becoming his subordinate?
"There's no need for such a grand ceremony. I heard from Ruyu that you went to see the old Peng King after returning to the Northern Region?"
Golden-Winged Roc King stood up, nodded, and said, "He wanted to see me, so I went back."
Chu Yang didn't say much about this topic. Since the Golden-Winged Roc King had returned and the Old Roc King hadn't come looking for trouble, it meant that the other party hadn't noticed anything amiss.
This method of distorting cognition by correcting the soul is so subtle that no one can detect it unless the Emperor himself is present.
Even if the emperor could discover it, there would be no way to solve it.
Chu Yang estimated that only a powerhouse at least at the level of a Red Dust Immortal could do such "delicate work".
Without the mysterious technique of Dual-Handedness, one can only rely on supreme power to correct it little by little.
It's like trying to cut vegetables with a guandao (a type of Chinese halberd), while holding the end of the handle and making sure it cuts into small, even pieces – a thankless and exhausting task.
"Let's go inside and talk!"
Chu Yang raised his chin, then turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Yaochi Stone Archway.
He was certain that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was in the stone archway.
Today's trip to Yaochi Stone Workshop to gamble on stones was not as random as it seemed; it was a deliberate act by Chu Yang.
He had been guessing that news of his gambling on stones in Quzhou had reached the ears of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, which was why she had organized the Yaochi Small Gathering, with ulterior motives.
Therefore, Chu Yang felt that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was probably after his Origin Technique.
Especially after seeing the source stones in the Heavenly Stone Garden, he became even more certain of his guess.
The stone archway of the sacred Yaochi could not possibly contain only a few ancient and rare source stones.
Most likely, after learning that he had entered the Holy City, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi had some of the source stones put away.
But today I've already demonstrated enough skill, yet the other party hasn't shown up, which is rather intriguing...
Moreover, there is another inexplicable problem in Chu Yang's speculation.
If the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was really only after the Origin Technique, why make such a big fuss?
"I wonder what this woman is really up to?" Chu Yang murmured.
"Master, what did you say?" The Golden-Winged Roc King didn't quite hear him.
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, from now on I'll call you Jinpeng!"
Golden-Winged Roc King nodded, and Chu Yang continued, "Although the 108,000 pieces of equipment I confined you were quite powerful, the crafting was too crude."
"I will teach you a method of weapon crafting. Go back and study it carefully; it should allow you to make further progress."
The Golden-Winged Roc King was stunned. He never imagined that following Chu Yang would actually bring him a "reward".
In his distorted perception, he only recognized Chu Yang as his master, and his other beliefs remained unchanged.
Therefore, in his view, he followed Chu Yang entirely because of the other party's "personal charisma".
But he didn't think Chu Yang could bring him any benefits.
He was still the arrogant Golden-Winged Roc King, never feeling inferior to anyone, not even his master!
After all, Chu Yang had only just advanced to the Dao Palace Secret Realm, while he himself had already reached the Perfection of the Four Extremes Secret Realm!
There's a difference of almost two major levels between them; the gap is enormous!
Chu Yang gently raised his hand, and blue light surged as he pulled a blue ball of light directly from between his eyebrows and tossed it to the Golden-Winged Roc King.
The latter understood immediately and pressed the blue orb against his brow.
Upon receiving the information about the weapon-refining method, the Golden-Winged Roc King's eyes shone brightly, as if he had obtained some rare treasure, his face showing ecstasy and shock.
When he came to his senses, he found that Chu Yang had already disappeared.
Inside the bedroom, Yan Ruyu looked at Chu Yang, who was taking out pieces of source stones, with a hint of unease in her eyes.
She was terrified that Chu Yang would pin her down and then unleash a torrent of violence.
Last night's experience left her feeling quite shaken.
"What kind of look is that?" Chu Yang was both amused and exasperated. Why did he feel like a womanizer?
Yan Ruyu pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time before saying, "You...you can find other Daoist partners in the future, I will not interfere!"
Chu Yang remained silent for a moment, put down the source stone, walked up to Yan Ruyu, and cupped her pretty face in his hands.
A look of panic flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes. She wanted to struggle, but then felt it was inappropriate.
In terms of strength, she was far superior to Chu Yang, but in her mind, the two were cultivation partners, so such intimate behavior was only natural.
How could I possibly lay a hand on my Daoist partner for this reason?
As for last night...
In that situation, she couldn't use divine power and had to rely solely on her physical body. Even though she had reached the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm, she still lost.
Looking at this demon princess who became somewhat naive when it came to matters of affection between Daoist partners, Chu Yang suddenly got the urge to pinch Yan Ruyu's face with both hands and knead it into various shapes.
"Stop...stop pinching me..." Yan Ruyu's voice was somewhat muffled.
Chu Yang then stopped and said softly, "We are Daoist partners, so you can speak frankly."
Yan Ruyu pursed her red lips, slowly raised her head, met his eyes, and said earnestly, "I hope that we will refrain from dual cultivation until I advance to the Immortal Platform Realm!"
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned strange.
So you're planning to wait until you break through to the Sendai Secret Realm, turn the tables, and wipe away your shame?
He laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said, "Okay!"
Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief, and just then, the Peacock King's unrestrained voice rang out from outside.
"Your Highness, what business do you have with me?"
Chu Yang turned and called out, "Senior, please come in!"
Peacock King pushed open the door and entered. He glanced at Yan Ruyu, who was sitting obediently on the edge of the bed like a wronged little wife, and was immediately stunned.
He had never seen Yan Ruyu like this before, or rather, before this, only Chu Yang had ever seen this side of Yan Ruyu.
Outside, she is the descendant of the Azure Emperor who carries the banner of the demon race, a flawless demon princess, and an unparalleled genius who can compete with gods in the same realm!
Regardless of the occasion, Yan Ruyu's demeanor and speech already exuded the air of a young overlord.
When she is alone with Chu Yang, she enters a state of natural dazedness, as if she has become a completely different person.
Yan Ruyu hadn't expected Chu Yang to let the Peacock King in directly. After a moment of panic, she quickly composed herself and returned to her celestial goddess appearance.
The Peacock King looked at Chu Yang with an extremely strange expression, then asked, "It seems... it's you, Nephew Chu, who's looking for me?"
Chu Yang smiled and nodded, then pointed to the few source stones and said, "I plan to cut the stones here. It might make quite a commotion later, so I'll trouble you to help cover it up, senior."
Upon hearing that it was just a trivial matter, the Peacock King waved his hand dismissively and said, "Go ahead and cut it. Even if you unearth an ancient beast, I will definitely help you suppress it!"
He's exaggerating a bit. After all, if a living ancient creature were to be unearthed, he might not be able to suppress it on his own.
This is actually because, in the Peacock King's view, Chu Yang might not necessarily be able to produce anything of value.
After all, I've never heard of anyone knowing what's inside an Originium before cutting it open!
Chu Yang didn't care and walked directly to the four source stones and the old tortoise stone.
Then he took out an array plate and activated the array patterns.
Deceiving Heaven Array Patterns!
These are array patterns created by the Great Emperor Wushi. They can conceal the secrets of heaven and also conceal the aura emanating from the treasure within the stone when it appears in the world.
Seeing his caution, the Peacock King couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. Then, his robes billowed, and his aura swept out, directly enveloping the entire palace.
With all preparations complete, Chu Yang unleashed his divine power and began cutting the stone!
This wasn't because he was overly cautious, but because he knew very well that what he cut out of the stone would be earth-shattering!
If the aura leaks out, it might attract all those old monsters in the Holy City.
Even if the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King were both present, they might not be able to protect the precious stones within.
As the stone skin peeled away layer by layer, a majestic and desolate aura emanated, quickly permeating the entire palace.
Yan Ruyu, who had been sitting upright and quietly watching this scene, changed her expression slightly, stood up and stepped forward, wanting to get closer to take a look.
The Peacock King's brows furrowed slightly, and his expression became more serious.
Chu Yang unleashed black divine power in his hands, which resembled sharp swords, continuously slicing away at the stone's outer layer.
"Clang!!"
A sharp clang suddenly rang out, and a terrifying, malevolent aura surged forth, its fierce energy sweeping across the area.
Even Chu Yang's terrifying physical body was scratched with bloody marks by that sharp force.
"This is... a sword embryo?!?"
A sharp glint flashed in the Peacock King's eyes, his face showing shock. (End of Chapter)
