Chapter 326 - 327 Chapter 332 Ancient Divine Medicine

327: Chapter 332: Ancient Divine Medicine 327: Chapter 332: Ancient Divine Medicine A dazzling divine radiance illuminated the sky, sparkling like a piece of crystal.

Li Heishui was the first to act, rushing towards the sky to intercept the human-shaped light and shadow!

Ye Fan was even faster, slicing the air with both hands and pressing down forcefully, sealing the cracked stone completely with strands of divine energy shooting out from between his fingers.

At the same time, the old Daoist sitting on the praying mat opened her eyes, emitting two beams of light as she reached out a large hand into the air.

POP.

The human-shaped light and shadow shattered, emitting a soft sound, as Li Heishui dashed through, grabbing nothing.

The old Daoist’s large hand made a sweep through the void, raising a light curtain that enveloped the Heavenly Stone Garden, sealing the space to prevent any divine objects from escaping.

Everyone was stunned, aware that something priceless and rare had been cut, undoubtedly worth a fortune.

“What exactly is it?

It’s been years since we’ve seen such a scene; a Stone Flying Immortal Variation appeared!” “It must be a remarkable treasure; even conservative estimates would place its value at over one hundred thousand catties of Source!” “Incredible, it must be worth as much as Divine Sources, a treasure that makes one’s heart race.

I really want to see what it is now.” “That was a human-shaped light shadow.

Could it be an ancient creature has been cut?” The crowd debated excitedly, as if they themselves had cut the rare treasure, craning their necks to gaze at the Stone Garden encased in the light curtain.

Stone Flying Immortal is an odd Variation, a sign of good fortune for stone cutters, heralding the emergence of something extraordinary.

“Hahaha…” Li Heishui laughed, descending from the sky, realizing it had been a false alarm.

Many were previously unaware of what Stone Flying Immortal was, but now they understood after someone exclaimed and explained.

“We’ve definitely cut an unparalleled treasure.

Don’t let anything go wrong!” Li Heishui was very excited, rubbing his hands as he edged closer.

Several elders selecting stones in the Heavenly Stone Garden also gathered around.

They were the ones who first exclaimed “Stone Flying Immortal,” staring intently at the stone sealed by Ye Fan.

“A remarkable sign, not seen for many years.” The Heavenly Demon Palace’s Young Master, Yao Yuekong, gazed unwaveringly ahead, divine radiance dazzling in his eyes.

At this moment, the Prince of Great Xia and the young nun in white also stepped forward.

Such a precious stone could tempt anyone.

Even the old Daoist stood up, silently observing from the side, aware that years had passed without such a Variation occurring.

As for the white-haired Source Master, he was so excited that he trembled, pacing back and forth nearby.

Stone cutters longed to witness such a phenomenon.

“Quickly cut, quickly cut it open!” Those outside the Stone Garden were impatient, eager to see what lay inside.

“Will cutting it open lead to any errors?

Will the divine object inside leak Spiritual Qi or escape?” Li Heishui asked worriedly.

Having heard numerous tales, he naturally guessed that the treasure inside the stone was of that level, worth as much as Divine Sources.

“No worries, I have the purest jade vessels here, which can seal the Spiritual Qi without leakage.” An elderly man nearby handed over a small jade cauldron with a lid, seemingly prepared for just such an occasion.

The old Daoist also spoke, “Rest assured and cut the stone.

I’ve sealed the Stone Garden, so even something extraordinary cannot escape.” Ye Fan withdrew the threads of divine energy, restoring the cracked stone to normalcy.

It no longer emitted divine radiance and lay quietly on the green grass.

CRACK.

Ye Fan cautiously cut, peeling away the stone skin layer by layer.

Soon, a crystalline surface was revealed as a cold aura rushed forth.

“So cold!” Frost appeared on the grass, and the air temperature plummeted, strands of chill drifting in all directions.

“It’s an Exotic Source—Ice and Snow Source!” The Prince of Great Xia declared.

Once the stone was partially peeled away, a fist-sized piece of Snow Jade emerged, like a block of ice embedded in the stone.

The Source Master said, “This Ice and Snow Source is worth a thousand catties of Pure Source, yet it alone can’t produce a Stone Flying Immortal Variation; there must be more inside.” “Keep cutting, hurry!” Those outside the Heavenly Stone Garden were more anxious than Ye Fan, many urging him on.

CRACK.

Ye Fan carefully continued peeling the stone skin, cutting along the crack into the stone heart when breathtaking divine radiance shot forth again.

It was immensely cold and exceedingly crystalline.

Many caught a whiff of rich fragrance and remarkably pure Spiritual Qi.

“A good thing, surely a precious item!” “Young man, don’t cut this Source anymore.

I’ll take it for eighty thousand catties of Source.

How about it?” an elderly man offered.

“I’m willing to pay ninety thousand catties of Source for the stone,” another elder eagerly raised the price.

Ye Fan smiled, “I want to cut it open to see what’s inside.” “Young man, you should know there’s a lot of risk involved.

Even with a Stone Flying Immortal Variation, there’s sometimes not as much Source as expected inside.” “That’s true, it has happened before.

Inside, there was just a small fragment of some treasure, far below expectations.

How about this?

I offer one hundred thousand catties of Source; this is all I have.” “Respected elders, we want to cut it open ourselves.” Ye Fan shook his head.

It was obvious there was a precious item inside, and he was determined not to sell just before revealing it.

“Hmph!” An elder snorted heavily, sweeping his sleeves angrily as he stepped aside, saying no more.

“Old Li, don’t put on your Illusion Destruction Palace Grand Elder airs here,” another elder chuckled.

Ye Fan glanced at the Illusion Destruction Palace Grand Elder, knowing this was likely Li Chongtian’s sect senior, but despite any displeasure, he wouldn’t sell it like this.

“Continue cutting the stone.

No one can act recklessly here,” the old Daoist said indifferently.

Ye Fan continued cutting.

The stone skin fell off, hitting the ground with a rustling sound, and finally exposed part of the stone heart.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth, and a silhouette shot out, swirling and flying continuously in the area.

Fragrance filled the air as light and shadows spiraled around in an enchanting dance.

“Heavens, what is that thing?

They’ve really uncovered a rare treasure.” “Such incredible luck, this must definitely be a priceless artifact!” “This dark-skinned lad and that genteel young man are truly extraordinary!

How did they manage to uncover something again?” Wu Ziming and the others were infuriated, unable to accept the result.

Not long ago they were still mocking them, and now it was a stinging slap in the face as a divine item revealed itself, accompanied by the mystical Stone Flying Immortal Variation.

Are these bumpkins trying to make me burst with rage?

Li Chongtian was fuming internally, yet now he was also curious, peering forward.

“Brothers, later our Heavenly Demon Treasure Pavilion will help you auction this!” The Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Yao Yuekong, shouted.

A silver-white light, incomparably sacred, circled and danced around Ye Fan.

The stone heart was radiant, its aroma wafting out, extremely dazzling.

Completely stripped of its stone skin, a palm-sized Ice and Snow Source appeared in Ye Fan’s hand.

It was larger than the previous piece and valued at over fifteen hundred catties of Pure Source.

Of course, this was not the most precious part; its true value lay in the object sealed within the Source, from which the light emanated.

“There’s a treasure in the Source; it’s indeed a rare artifact!” “This is…

a type of spiritual medicine!” “Wrong, this must be a divine medicine!

Otherwise, how could such a spectacle of the Stone Flying Immortal appear!” Several elders gathered around, commenting excitedly.

“Young man, sell it to me.

I’ll offer you a satisfactory price.” “One hundred fifty thousand catties of Source, deal?

I am Li Yishui from the Illusion Destruction Palace, and I will immediately go borrow the Source!” The Grand Elder who had previously snorted coldly now spoke urgently.

The silver, sacred radiance finally, slowly receded, revealing the rare treasure within the Ice and Snow Source.

It really was a plant, its faint aroma permeating through the Source.

“This is…” “What a pity, how could it be this way!” When the Divine Radiance receded, revealing everything inside the Source, everyone was immensely disappointed.

This was not a complete plant; it was missing its crucial main body.

The Ice and Snow Source sealed a pale blue rhizome, as crystal clear as a sapphire, with no leaves above it.

“What a pity, missing the crucial parts of the medicine!” Several elders were extremely regretful and deeply disappointed.

“No, there’s another part!

Look, how could it be so extraordinary?!” one of the elders exclaimed in shock.

“Indeed, there is another part.

This is…

a pair of feet!” After careful inspection, everyone present was astonished.

This plant was truly unique.

Above the pale blue root, there was a pair of tubers resembling feet, not very large, only an inch long, and silver-white like the Ice and Snow Source.

It was undoubtedly tubers, but the resemblance to human feet made people mistake it for the severed feet of a small jade man.

“This is…” “According to legend, there was a kind of divine medicine in Ancient Times that did not grow leaves and resembled a human body.

Could this be that divine medicine?” “It’s very possible; it has vanished for countless ages.

Only its shape is known; few people know its specific effects.” “Since it’s called divine medicine, it must have incredible, miraculous effects, making it priceless!” Several elders were both excited and regretful.

The Human-shaped Divine Medicine was severely incomplete, possessing only the root and a pair of ‘feet’; the other parts had vanished, not sealed in the Source.

“A miracle, to behold a divine medicine from Ancient Times!

Only Divine Sources and Ice and Snow Sources can seal such a plant.” Everyone outside the Stone Garden was stunned; a divine medicine from Ancient Times…

it was like a fairy tale, leaving them wide-eyed and speechless.

“Young man, what about selling it to me for forty thousand catties of Source?” an elder asked.

“How did the price fall?

You just offered one hundred fifty thousand catties of Source!” Li Heishui was displeased.

An elder shook his head, saying, “Previously, the brilliant light blinded us, making it impossible to see clearly.

Now the Divine Radiance has receded, revealing its true form and, naturally, its actual value.

If it were a complete divine medicine, it would be more precious than Divine Sources—invaluable.

But it’s incomplete.

You’ve seen it; it’s merely a pair of ‘feet’ and only worth this price.” Ye Fan calmly spoke, “In today’s era, divine medicine is unseen.

Even the Sacred Masters of the various sects, whose longevity wanes in old age as they wander the Great Wilderness in search, are never seen to reappear.

How could such a life-altering divine item be worth only forty thousand catties of Source?” Li Heishui added, “Exactly!

This is a Human-shaped Divine Medicine.

Even a piece of Divine Source wouldn’t be a worthy trade for its value.” “I, Li Yishui, am willing to offer fifty thousand catties of Source,” the Illusion Destruction Palace’s Grand Elder said.

Ye Fan shook his head, declining the offer.

He sealed the Ice and Snow Source in a jade vessel, not wanting the Spiritual Qi to dissipate.

Li Yishui’s face turned slightly annoyed.

He said, “Young man, don’t be too greedy.

A divine medicine incomplete to this extent truly doesn’t hold such high value.” “Elder, your words aren’t quite right.

This is a divine medicine I uncovered myself; whether I sell it or not doesn’t relate to greed, does it?” Ye Fan replied.

“Brothers, speak with the Elders of Dao Yi.

Could you let me enter?” At that moment, the Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Yao Yuekong, asked.

Li Heishui and Ye Fan naturally agreed to let him enter.

After a conversation with the old Daoist, the purple-clothed Yao Yuekong strode in.

“At most…

I’ll offer sixty thousand catties of Source for this broken medicine!” Li Yishui spoke again.

Ye Fan suddenly said, “Everyone, you’ve overlooked a fact: the root of this divine medicine is intact and undamaged.

Perhaps it could revive!” “I’ll buy this divine medicine for eighty thousand catties of Source!” The Prince of Great Xia suddenly spoke.

Beside him, the young nun in white blinked her large eyes, a hopeful expression appearing on her face.

“Dao Yi Sacred Land offers one hundred thousand catties of Source to reclaim this rarity!” The previously silent old Daoist suddenly announced a shocking price.

“Actually, I want to find a place to plant it, to see what kind of divine medicine it might bear,” Ye Fan remained unmoved.

At this moment, the news that a divine medicine had been cut at the Dao Yi Sacred Land spread rapidly.

Miao Yu Temple, Guanghan Palace, all the Sacred Land Stone Workshops, and numerous great sects received the report.
