Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 866: Chapter 5: Medicine King Insect

Qiann Ruimian looked at Lin Feng, puzzled and asked, “Brother Lin, is there something wrong?”

Lin Feng smiled and said, “I think that stone pedestal looks good, let’s cut open that stone pedestal first.”

“Pfft…” Many people laughed, that stone pedestal had been sitting here for who knows how many years, it was merely a pedestal for stone materials. If there was truly a treasure inside, wouldn’t those gambling stone experts have discovered it by now?

“Kid, that’s not stone material.” Someone teased.

Lin Feng smiled and said, “Not stone material? I thought it was stone material too, but I see this stone pedestal’s green skin is peeling off, it’s aged, maybe there’s something good inside.”

Many people’s mouths twitched violently.

Someone said, “The more precious the stone material, the less likely the outer skin will peel. Good stone material’s surface wouldn’t peel in even millions of years. That stone pedestal is weathered and its skin peeled due to exposure, not because it’s aged.”

Lin Feng said, “Is there such a saying? No wonder these three pieces of stone materials are flowingly emitting Divine Light, they seem to be high-grade stone materials, so despite the eons, they are well-preserved.”

A cultivator nodded and said, “Naturally, the difference between good stone material and ordinary stone material is tremendous.”

“Thank you, everyone, for informing me.”

Lin Feng cupped his fists in thanks, then looked at Qiann Ruimian, and said, “Cut it open, it’s not worth much anyway.”

Qiann Ruimian nodded, though he didn’t think there was anything good inside the stone pedestal.

But Qiann Ruimian didn’t want to refuse Lin Feng.

Since he invited Lin Feng to gamble stones, he naturally wouldn’t dampen Lin Feng’s enthusiasm.

He looked at Jiang Chi and said, “I want this stone pedestal.”

Jiang Chi smiled and said, “Then what about this winged stone material?”

“Leave it for now.” Qiann Ruimian said.

Jiang Chi reluctantly nodded and glared fiercely at Lin Feng, if it weren’t for this kid, Qiann Ruimian would already have purchased this stone material.

Lin Feng acted as if he didn’t see Jiang Chi’s gaze, he asked, “How much Spirit Stone for this stone pedestal?”

“This stone pedestal was transported here seven hundred years ago, absorbed the essence of Heaven and Earth, it seems to be a treasure, make it one thousand top-grade Spiritual Stones.” Jiang Chi said.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes, he just heard the surrounding cultivators say that it wasn’t stone material, it was worthless, Jiang Chi was clearly being greedy.

But Lin Feng didn’t say much because if something good truly was cut out, what would one thousand top-grade Spiritual Stones matter? A mountain of top-grade Spiritual Stones couldn’t match the treasure within the stone material.

Qiann Ruimian took out one thousand top-grade Spiritual Stones and handed them to Jiang Chi, he then squatted in front of the stone pedestal and began cutting.

Swish swish swish swish…

Pieces of stone skin were cut away.

The stone pedestal rapidly shrank.

But Qiann Ruimian didn’t cut out anything.

“Haha, told you it’s just a Mortal Stone, nothing would come from cutting it.”

“One thousand top-grade Spiritual Stones were spent on this broken stone pedestal, what a terrible scam.”

“Where did Qiann Ruimian get this friend from? His vision is terrible, isn’t it?”

“Qiann Ruimian actually believes his friend’s nonsense, stone discerning requires seeing, shaking, touching, feeling, and understanding to distinguish valuable stone material, that stone pedestal’s green skin peeled and it had no energy fluctuations. Just by seeing and feeling, one could eliminate it, that kid is just a newbie, probably doesn’t understand the regulations of the trade.”

Many shook their heads, entirely watching Lin Feng and Qiann Ruimian’s joke, after all, a broken stone pedestal sitting here for hundreds of years was bought by them, and the Stone Workshop extorted them for one thousand top-grade Spiritual Stones, naturally making people feel it’s a ridiculous affair.

Quickly the stone material only remained the size of a bowl’s mouth, Qiann Ruimian didn’t have much disappointment because he never thought there would be anything good in the stone pedestal.

The last knife Qiann Ruimian cut down, however, just as a notch was opened, an intoxicating fragrance emanated from within the stone material.

“Oh my, could there be a Holy Medicine inside?” Many were shocked.

A Holy Medicine would be worth at least tens of thousands of top-grade Spiritual Stones, and even with money, it might not be buyable.

This made countless people’s eyes glaze over, even envious and jealous.

That was merely a pedestal stone sitting here for centuries, ignored.

Now it’s going to cut out a Holy Medicine.

How many have looked at that stone pedestal? But all shook their heads, thinking it had no value.

Now seeing a Holy Medicine about to be cut out, many people’s intestines were turning blue with regret.

Why didn’t they carefully discern the stone pedestal?

If discerned carefully, maybe they would have bought it.

Qiann Ruimian also stared wide-eyed with an expression of disbelief, he suppressed his inner excitement and cut down again.

The stone material cracked open.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, a golden light shot skyward, extremely fast, trying to escape.

Everyone was greatly shocked, no one expected something inside the stone material would try to escape.

Wasn’t it a Holy Medicine?

Now it seems it’s not a Holy Medicine at all.

Lin Feng was already prepared, when the golden little lifeform tried to escape, he directly used mana to imprison the golden little lifeform.

This time everyone saw, it was a palm-sized golden insect, and its body emitted medicinal fragrance.

“It’s a Medicine King Insect, it’s the legendary Medicine King Insect.”

Countless shocked voices rang out, countless fervent gazes looked at the golden little insect.

“Medicine King Insect,” the legendary spiritual insect, said to evolve only by devouring ninety-nine Medicine Kings.

A drop of Essence Blood from the Medicine King Insect could restore anyone at death’s door to perfect health.

A drop of Essence Blood from the Medicine King Insect could extend life by three thousand years.

No Holy Medicine is worth mentioning in front of the Medicine King Insect.

If spending tens of thousands of top-grade Spiritual Stones could buy Holy Medicine, then the Medicine King Insect is priceless.

Holy Medicine is consumed and gone.

The Medicine King Insect is life itself, even if some Essence Blood is taken, it can continue to live.

“Brother Qiann, keep your Medicine King Insect safe.”

Lin Feng sealed the Medicine King Insect in a porcelain bottle and handed it to Qiann Ruimian.

“This is too valuable.” Qiann Ruimian said.

That stone material was cut under Lin Feng’s suggestion; he felt too undeserving to accept it.

Lin Feng smiled and said, “Could our friendship not measure up to the mere value of a Medicine King Insect?”

Qiann Ruimian laughed heartily and said, “Good brother, I was being oversensitive.”

Seeing Qiann Ruimian accept the Medicine King Insect, Lin Feng slightly smiled.

Although the Medicine King Insect is precious, Lin Feng doesn’t need it, as he even possesses Undying Immortal Medicine, far surpassing the Medicine King Insect’s effects.

Using a Medicine King Insect, he bridged relations with Qiann Ruimian, a direct descendant of the Ancient Saint Emperor; to Lin Feng, it was naturally worth it.

Qiann Ruimian accepted the Medicine King Insect, and many around him cast envious, jealous, and hateful glances towards Qiann Ruimian.

Buying a stone pedestal for one thousand top-grade Spiritual Stones eventually resulted in unearthing a Medicine King Insect, it practically struck a heavenly fortune.

While Jiang Chi’s mouth twitched vigorously, showing an expression as if wanting to cry but having no tears, having stayed here for more than three hundred years, he never thought an unremarkable stone pedestal would hide a Medicine King Insect.

If he only knew, Laozi would have cut it open.

“I want that stone pedestal.”

“That stone pedestal is mine.”

Many shouted, beginning to frantically snatch the Jiang Family Stone Pavilion’s pedestal, truly making one laugh and cry.

Lin Feng walked through the Stone Workshop, suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a piece of stone material.
