Chapter 124 Rage and Fury
Chapter 124 Rage and Fury
"This person isn't a Source Master?"
"how is this possible?"
"How could the people invited by the Sun Moon Sect be wrong?"
Everyone around spoke up, and even Li Daoling, Fairy Lanxia, and others had a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Blood Refining Stone sneered, "He doesn't have the blood aura unique to Source Warriors, so he definitely hasn't cultivated Source Arts... I've devoured quite a few Source Warriors, so I can tell!"
He was very confident, but his words sent chills down one's spine.
Cao Yueshu was also slightly surprised. He was not clear about Li Lan's situation, but from Elder Yu's report, he felt that Li Lan probably had some special skills. But now it seems that he really is not a Source Master.
Could it be that this person's performance in the mine yesterday was entirely due to those so-called lucky copper coins? That's utterly absurd!
"You're not a Source Master, get out!"
Blood Refining Stone casually rebuked Li Lan, then looked up at the direction of the Ancient Sage, subconsciously licked his lips, and smiled: "His blood smells sweet, his Origin Dao cultivation should be quite strong, let him come and fight me!"
The ancient sage snorted coldly and didn't reply, but he already felt a strange pressure in his heart!
The influence of the Bloodline on other Source Warriors is truly immense!
"Elder Cao, since this boy is not a Source Master, why not have the Ancient Source Master lineage take action?"
Sword Immortal Mu from the Sword Sect also frowned and spoke.
Cao Yueshu's gaze shifted and landed on a beautiful figure not far away.
It was Shangguan Xiaoxiao; she had come today as well.
"To be honest, Brother Mu, it should have been the Gu Yuan lineage that made the move, but yesterday, Gu Shengtian suddenly added a condition, demanding that he marry Shangguan Xiaoxiao, who holds the position of Baoyang Star in our sect, and become a protector of our sect."
Now that things had come to this, he could no longer hide it and told the Wooden Sword Immortal, "But Xiaoxiao has not yet agreed, so the Ancient Origin lineage... has not yet made a move."
Perhaps sensing the gazes of Cao Yueshu and the others, Shangguan Xiaoxiao walked over. Her expression was calm as she said, "I'll go and ask them for help."
Upon hearing this, Cao Yueshu was taken aback and asked, "Xiaoxiao, you've come to your senses?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "There's no such thing as figuring it out or not. I'm not a great person, but I have seen great people... The fate of the entire Northern Frontier and all living beings in the Immortal Realm is right in front of us. It's really torturous, that's all."
She has always been carefree, but now fate no longer allows her to be willful.
She also repeatedly recalled that back in the Abyss Realm, facing the gray mist, that figure that had once illuminated the hearts of every person in the Abyss Realm.
Compared to the common people, perhaps personal feelings and belonging are not that important.
So she decided to beg him!
She looked up at the ancient sage, about to speak—
But right now.
"Although I am not proficient in the Source Technique, my luck has always been pretty good."
A voice suddenly rang out, and Li Lan finally smiled and said, "And I also want to see what the Bloodline is? Can you eat it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was taken aback.
"Is this kid looking for death?"
"His previous involvement could be attributed to ignorance, but now he dares to spout such nonsense... he's really courting death!"
"Is this a provocation against the Bloodline?"
Even sages and true masters of the source have shown restraint when facing the bloodline, yet Li Lan continues to provoke them.
Upon hearing this, both Blood Refining Stone and Blood Refining Source had a flash of cold light in their eyes!
"You want to die?"
Blood Refining Stone spoke coldly, "Very well, then let's start with you!"
"Can the jade gambling market open now?"
Cao Yueshu was also somewhat taken aback, not expecting Li Lan to be so brave. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "In that case, I would like to ask my young friend to make a move!"
As he spoke, he also transmitted his voice to Shangguan Xiaoxiao: "Don't rush, let this person try first!"
After all, in Cao Yueshu's heart, Tu Tianlong, who had passed the Dragon-Fighting Platform, was the best candidate to protect the Sun Moon Sect, and he did not want Shangguan Xiaoxiao to marry Gu Shengtian.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Lan with a hint of doubt, seemingly not understanding his decision, but she still nodded.
Immediately, everyone entered the raw stone site.
"According to the rules, on the first day, both sides will each select three rough stones within the Yellow-branded mine. The winner will be determined by the value of the raw materials obtained after cutting them open!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Lan and Xue Lian Shi walked into the mine.
A crimson light flashed in Xue Lianshi's eyes. He scanned the raw stones in the arena one by one, delving into them. When he approached a certain raw stone, a crimson mist rose from his body, swirling around the raw stone as if trying to seep into it!
"Blood Source Energy!"
"Blood Source Qi refined from the blood of other Source Masters is said to be able to penetrate stone skin and sense the inside of the stone skin, so its source identification is extremely accurate!"
"No wonder it has such a great reputation!"
Everyone spoke up, and even the ancient sage's eyes grew increasingly solemn as he secretly compared his strength with that of the Blood Refining Stone.
As for Li Lan? He didn't care about him at all!
"Wow, this guy really uses copper coins to select raw stones?"
Meanwhile, Li Lan's actions also immediately attracted attention.
Because now, just like yesterday, he doesn't listen to, look at, or smell those raw stones. Instead, he calmly takes out a copper coin, bows to it a few times, and walks away with the reverse side facing up!
"Don't underestimate it, his copper coins are really effective. Yesterday, he cut more than a dozen raw stones, all of which were of medium origin, including three of different types of origin!"
"That's right, those copper coins might actually work. Damn it, I've been looking for that old Taoist all day and haven't found him. I wonder where that old geezer went!"
"Heh, it's not that scary. Against the Bloodline, no amount of trickery will save you from a terrible death!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
"Should we choose that wrinkled old stone for the Blood Refining Stone?"
Suddenly, everyone exclaimed in surprise. The Blood Refining Stone had stopped in front of the wrinkled old stone. The blood-red mist was interacting with the raw stone. At the same time, for the first time, he began to tap the raw stone repeatedly with a special technique, forming a special rhythm and cadence.
The echo was like music!
"His technique is truly extraordinary!"
"I knew there was something good in this wrinkled old stone!"
So many people were excited.
Yesterday, the Sleeping Ox Stone was cut open, but nothing was found. Now, will this exquisite old stone, which has been displayed for so long, finally see the light of day?
However, after pondering for a long time in front of the wrinkled old stone, Blood Refining Stone suddenly shook his head and turned to leave.
Everyone was stunned.
"Not selected?"
"There was definitely a trap!"
Blood Refining Stone's actions became a trendsetter for everyone.
At this moment, Blood Refining Stone had already reached the area where Li Lan was selecting stones. His body was shrouded in a bloody mist as he sneered, "Take your time choosing. After all, this might be your last time gambling on stones."
He walked casually by, then went straight to a clump of weeds and picked up a rough stone the size of a human head!
Half of this rough stone is buried in the soil, and no one usually pays any attention to it!
Then, he walked to a huge square rough stone and selected that one as well!
For the last piece of rough stone, he returned to the entrance and selected one that had been sitting there for a long time and had no distinctive shape.
"These are the three pieces."
Blood Refining Stone smiled.
"The three rough stones he picked... are all quite good!"
Among the crowd, an old man exclaimed, "Truly, your spiritual eyes are like torches! At such a young age, you have already cultivated the Origin Dao Spiritual Eye. It is truly admirable!"
As soon as he spoke, many people around him looked at him.
"Master Qi Mingyuan!"
"He's here too!"
"He said the Blood Refining Stone was a good choice, so it seems... the Blood Refining Stone is a sure thing!"
The crowd erupted in discussion!
"Brother Gu, what do you think?"
Some people also asked questions of the ancient sages.
But the ancient sage merely snorted coldly and remained silent.
He's under a lot of pressure now!
He didn't expect that the Blood Refining Stone had actually been refined to the point of developing the Origin Dao Spiritual Eye. This spiritual eye is different from the spiritual eye of ordinary cultivators. It can see the truth and falsehood within the original stone and has an extremely high hit rate!
Even he didn't reach that level.
Moreover, the three raw stones that Blood Refining Stone selected were, in his opinion, almost the best in the mine!
Li Lan's chances of winning are extremely slim!
"You deserve to die."
The ancient sage shook his head. He had already vaguely seen through the fact that the raw stones around Li Lan had been set up by the Blood Refining Stone!
But he won't remind him!
Cao Yueshu, Mu Jianxian, and the others all looked anxious and uneasy.
"Why is that guy still praying to gods and Buddhas?"
"Does he know how?"
"What a mess, what a mess!"
Many people are urging us to hurry.
Li Lan, however, remained calm and relaxed, swaying leisurely.
"Hey, this rough stone looks pretty good?"
Suddenly, he stopped in front of a rough stone and deliberately spoke. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Blood Refining Stone's face had already shown a cold smile.
But Li Lan deliberately took out a copper coin, tossed it, and it landed tails. He immediately shook his head: "No, that's not appropriate."
Then he turned around and left.
This scene surprised Blood Refining Stone for a moment.
He had tampered with that raw stone using the "Blood Source Technique," and it already contained blood evil. However, ordinary source masters would think that the raw stone was extremely extraordinary, containing celestial treasures. When the stone was opened, the blood evil would rush out and they would surely perish on the spot!
But this guy just glanced at it with a copper coin and left?
This is some seriously incredible luck!
What surprised him even more was that Li Lan used the same method to avoid tampering with several other rough stones that he had tampered with!
He couldn't help but wonder if the copper coin in that guy's hand was actually useful.
Equally surprised were Xue Lianyuan, Gu Shengxian, Qi Ming, and others standing nearby.
They are skilled practitioners; now, looking at Li Lan is like looking at a complete oddball.
How could someone who knows nothing actually escape a deadly situation through sheer luck?
"I think, does his copper coin only have two sides?"
At this moment, someone muttered, "They haven't even gotten a single head-on shot!"
The others couldn't help but start to have doubts too, and they were getting impatient, mainly because Li Lan was really too slow!
"front!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.
Everyone stared intently, and saw that Li Lan had stopped in front of a thin piece of raw stone. The raw stone was like a plate, only slightly thicker, but the copper coin in Li Lan's hand was already facing forward!
Therefore, Li Lan chose this rough stone without hesitation!
"Isn't this just messing around? What could possibly be hidden in such a thin slice of raw stone?"
"I tapped it myself, and the echo was so clear that there was no source inside!"
"Even if there were some, what good would that do?"
Many people shook their heads.
Li Lan ignored the clamor of words and walked straight to another raw stone. He took out a copper coin, tossed it, and it landed heads up again!
This piece of rough stone is very small, only the size of a fist. Rather than a rough stone, it is more like a scrap left over from other rough stones. Normally, no one would even glance at it!
"What kind of things did this guy pick?"
"They're all bizarre and outlandish, mostly just attention-seeking gimmicks!"
"It seems he really isn't a Source Master!"
Everyone shook their heads.
"wrong,"
But at this moment, the old source master Qi Ming became somewhat solemn and said, "I do have some reservations about the two rough stones he chose!"
Everyone around him was surprised to hear him say that.
"Senior Qi, what are your thoughts?"
Looking into the distance, Qi Ming said, "If I'm not mistaken, that thin stone might contain some stone marrow, and that fist-sized stone with a dark red cinnabar color at the bottom is very likely a different kind of fire source, but the amount is too small!"
Even the ancient sages couldn't help but nod in agreement; their views were roughly the same as Qi Ming's.
"These two rough stones might actually yield some results, but compared to the rough stones chosen by the Blood Refining Stone, they are simply not comparable."
Qi Ming shook his head.
Cao Yueshu and the others also frowned deeply!
At this moment, Li Lan, after carefully selecting from the left and right stones, had already walked up to the wrinkled old stone.
He tossed the coin over, and it landed heads up!
"This is it!"
Li Lan smiled.
All three rough stones have been selected!
"Wrinkled old stone!"
"He actually chose this one? Didn't they give up on the Blood Refining Stone?"
"This rough stone has been sitting here for so many years, and today I can finally see with my own eyes what it looks like when it's cut open!"
For a moment, everyone was quite excited.
Cao Yueshu, Mu Jianxian, and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with worry and a sense of despair.
Blood Refining Stone had seen this raw stone and given up on it. His Origin Technique was so profound. If there really was something good, would it be Li Lan's turn to pick up a bargain?
"He lost."
The ancient sage simply said something!
