Chapter 837

"What on earth is that? It's been many years since I've seen such a sight — the Stone Immortal Flight phenomenon has actually appeared."

"It must be an extraordinary treasure. I wonder what it actually is?"

"Unbelievable. I'm afraid a great haul is about to come out of this stone. Could it be that some ancient creature is being cut out?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, all of them deeply stirred — whether inside the Son of Heaven Stone Garden or watching from outside, every one of them was extremely excited.

Stone Immortal Flight is a strange phenomenon. Since ancient times, it has been an auspicious omen for stone-cutters. When such a sign appears, it means something extraordinary is about to emerge.

The several elders who had been selecting stones in the Son of Heaven Stone Garden also crowded over, staring at the stone held in Fang Yu's hand, their gazes exceedingly eager.

"An omen of great significance. It hasn't appeared for many years."

Jin Chixiao, the demon of the Northern Plains Golden Family, his eyes blazing with divine light, gazed fixedly ahead without blinking.

As for the white-haired Master Zhihe, he was so excited he was trembling — this was the most longed-for marvel for people of their trade.

Soon, the Chaotic Qi delved deeper once more, and the thing inside revealed part of itself.

It was a fist-sized piece of snow jade — a rare type of source, Ice Snow Source, worth a thousand jin of pure source. But on its own, it could not have caused the Stone Immortal Flight phenomenon.

And when the Chaotic Qi delved deeper again, a rich fragrance and incomparably holy spiritual energy wafted out.

The fragrance assailed the nose, light and shadow swirling around — exceedingly dreamlike.

It was a streak of silver-white radiance, incomparably sacred, its fragrance drifting out, dazzlingly brilliant.

At the very end, a palm-sized piece of Ice Snow Source was revealed, worth more than fifteen hundred jin of pure source.

Of course, that was not the most precious thing. Within that Ice Snow Source there was also a pale-blue rhizome, translucent as sapphire, with no leaves above it.

"What is that? Could it be a divine medicine?"

"It is indeed a divine medicine, but it lacks the key parts of an herb."

"No, wait — there's also… a pair of feet. It actually has feet?"

After looking closely, everyone present was greatly shocked.

Above the pale-blue root of this plant was connected a pair of tuber-like growths resembling human feet — not very large, only an inch long, silver-white in color.

In the end they were just tubers, but they resembled human feet so closely that one might mistake them for the severed feet of a small jade figurine.

"Legend has it that in the Primeval Age there was a kind of divine medicine that grew no leaves and resembled a human body. Could this be that very divine medicine?"

"Very likely. That divine medicine has been lost for endless ages — all that remains are descriptions of its shape."

"Since it's called a divine medicine, it must have incredible miraculous effects — priceless!"

The several elders were both excited and regretful, because although this was a divine medicine, it was terribly incomplete — only the root and a pair of 'medicine feet' remained; all other parts had vanished.

An incomplete divine medicine.

"Young friend, I'll offer forty thousand jin of source to buy this divine medicine. Although it is a divine medicine, it is already incomplete — forty thousand jin of source is already a fair price."

An elder spoke up.

"This old man, Li Yishui, Supreme Elder of the Hall of Illusion Destruction, is willing to offer fifty thousand jin of source."

Another elder spoke up, raising the price by ten thousand jin.

"Such a divine medicine is priceless, and you only offer fifty thousand? Do you take us for children?"

Tu Fei curled his lip.

"Young man, don't be too greedy. I'll offer sixty thousand jin — sixty thousand is already its limit. It is, after all, incomplete."

Li Yishui, Supreme Elder of the Hall of Illusion Destruction, frowned.

"I will buy this divine medicine for eighty thousand jin of source!"

The Imperial Prince of Daxia suddenly spoke up. The little white-robed nun beside him also blinked her large eyes, a look of hope on her face.

"My Dao One Holy Land is willing to take back this rarity for a hundred thousand jin of source."

The old Daoist nun who had been meditating suddenly quoted an astonishing price.

"If it really is incomplete, then a hundred thousand jin is about right — but who says it's incomplete?"

Fang Yu smiled.

He pointed with one hand, and five-colored divine light transformed into a five-colored river, flowing down — the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Daoist Gang Qi, the Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Daoist Gang Qi, the White Emperor Metal Sovereign Daoist Gang Qi, the Black Emperor Water Sovereign Daoist Gang Qi, and the Yellow Emperor Earth Sovereign Daoist Gang Qi — becoming five-colored holy water that lifted this divine medicine up.

Then he added a touch of Pure Yang Qi and a handful of Chaotic Soil into the five-colored river.

The Pure Yang Qi was the Pure Yang Pill.

The Chaotic Soil was the Great Chaotic Art of the Three Thousand Daos.

The Great Chaotic Art is unrivaled both in offense and defense, and the Chaotic Qi condensed into Chaotic Soil — another of the foremost sacred things between heaven and earth.

With the aid of these many sacred things, in an instant this divine medicine immediately began to grow — first the stem, then the leaves.

In the blink of an eye, it was fully restored, brimming with vigorous life.

"Now, how much will you offer?"

Fang Yu said calmly.

"What?"
