Chapter 3779: Yao Xing Tower Ninth Floor, Successive Stone Cutting

In another direction on this floor.

Two slender, graceful figures were here — naturally, Yun Xi and Sang Yu.

Mist and haze swirled around both of them, sealing off any prying eyes.

As the little princess of the Yun clan, Yun Xi's status was second only to Jun Xiaoyao's existence.

Naturally, the various resources and treasures the Yun clan gave her were not few.

And after arriving at the Yao Xing Tower, Yun Xi also had Sang Yu begin appraising and cutting stones.

Although the things cut out were all considered precious, in Yun Xi's view they were still somewhat insufficient.

She wanted to give Jun Xiaoyao a somewhat more special gift.

"Sang Yu, it seems we can only go to the higher floors." Yun Xi transmitted via divine sense in secret.

Sang Yu also nodded slightly.

Although it was at Yun Xi's request that she came.

But now all the various treasures cut out, Yun Xi let her keep them herself.

Sang Yu also felt very fortunate to have met people like Jun Xiaoyao and Yun Xi, who treated her so well.

And as for the surprise and curiosity of the people around them, they did not care at all.

Anyway, once they cut out a satisfactory treasure, they would leave this place.

On this side, Yuan Feng withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "As expected, once the Myriad Treasures Grand Assembly opens, all sorts of capable people and strange scholars come out."

"However, compared to Daoist Friend Ye, there is no comparability; let us go upstairs."

Ye Yu frowned slightly, glanced casually, and discovered that prying eyes were blocked.

He also did not mind too much, and followed Yuan Feng upstairs.

And as time passed.

Ye Yu finally arrived at the ninth floor of the Yao Xing Tower.

Reaching here, the number of source stones had already decreased considerably.

But these remaining source stones all had extraordinarily high prices, and their origins were all extraordinary.

Some were dug out from a certain ancient burial ground, some found in the tombs of supreme experts.

Of course, it is not to say that all these source stones contain peerless rare supreme treasures.

Having only a frightening exterior, after cutting them open they turn out empty, or contain things of very low value.

This kind of thing is also utterly commonplace.

It is precisely for this reason that after reaching the ninth floor, these source stones — ordinary people do not dare to cut them open lightly.

If one lacks discernment, unable to make accurate judgments.

Then the loss would not be a small amount.

In the past, only true Source Art grandmasters had the qualifications to select stones here.

And now, Ye Yu and the others arrived at the ninth floor.

The steward of the Yao Xing Tower, who was also a direct-line middle-aged man of the Su clan, personally accompanied them here.

Every source stone sold on the ninth floor earns the Yao Xing Tower a full bowl and a full pot — a huge profit.

And as the Yao Xing Tower's steward, he naturally also had quite a few benefits.

"Daoist Friend Ye, from here on we'll have to trouble you."

Yuan Feng smiled faintly at Ye Yu from the side.

The source stones placed on the ninth floor are all extremely difficult to distinguish.

Even ordinary people who cultivate special pupil techniques or special secret arts find it hard to see through them.

Only some Source Masters, relying on their Source Art cultivation or Source Art talent, can make out the clues within.

"Rest assured, this kind of matter is still no problem." Ye Yu smiled calmly.

He actually also wanted to befriend that Young Master.

Because Ye Yu in the future is destined to go to the Heavenly Court.

Establishing good relations and paving the way early is still very important.

As for the current stone selection, for him it could not be simpler.

Even if he cannot detect it through the Earth Master lineage's methods.

Isn't there still the Creation Heaven Gate's artifact spirit?

So Ye Yu could be said to have a well-thought-out plan — victory in his grasp.

However, right at this moment, at the ninth floor entrance.

Yun Xi and Sang Yu also arrived.

Behind them followed a crowd of onlookers.

Yuan Feng saw this and frowned slightly, afraid those people would affect Ye Yu.

After all, he came bearing a mission.

"Daoist Friend Ye, it won't affect you, right?" Yuan Feng asked.

"No hindrance." Ye Yu said.

Then he also began employing the Earth Extreme Yin Pupil and other Earth Master lineage Source Art methods, starting to appraise stones.

Although there is the Creation Heaven Gate artifact spirit as a cheat.

But Ye Yu still wanted to rely on his own power, and incidentally make his Source Art even more proficient.

Very quickly, he locked onto a source stone.

"This one." Ye Yu said.

"Are you sure?" Yuan Feng said.

Although his young master gave him quite a few resources.

But the source stones on the ninth floor are all quite expensive.

If the treasure cut out can offset the cost, then it doesn't matter; if unsatisfied, resources can be exchanged to continue cutting.

If it turns out to be empty, a worthless dead stone, then Yuan Feng's resources cannot withstand many such attempts.

"Don't worry." Ye Yu said.

Soon, a stone-cutting master from Yaoxing Lou cut open the source stone he had selected.

Suddenly, a brilliant light burst forth, within which golden radiance shone.

There lay a small bead, like jade and bone, its color a dazzling golden yellow.

One could see that within it, countless tiny runes flickered and wandered.

The runes at times transformed into blooming lotuses, at times into flowing Sanskrit, appearing extremely extraordinary.

"This... could it be an ancient Buddhist relic?!"

As this golden relic was cut open, it immediately attracted the attention of all cultivators on this floor.

"It is truly an ancient Buddhist relic; his cultivation in life was absolutely extraordinary."

"Such relics are of great benefit to us cultivators, let alone Buddhist cultivators."

"However, it seems to have suffered some contamination."

Some also noticed that within the golden relic, there were specks of purple-black discoloration.

Clearly, this ancient Buddhist relic is not flawless.

Yet its value is by no means low.

Seeing this, Yuan Feng also marveled at Ye Yu's discernment.

However, unfortunately, although this Buddhist relic is still quite good, using it as a gift is clearly inappropriate.

And soon, on the other side, exclamations rang out as well.

That was Sang Yu; she too had chosen a source stone.

Upon being cut open, a jade jar was indeed found sealed within.

The jade jar is not large, appearing extremely ancient and simple, and upon being opened.

An intensely rich and fragrant aroma surged forth like a tide.

Making those who smelled it feel their bodies relax and unfold, as if the flow of heavenly principles had quickened considerably.

Many people glanced at it.

Inside the jade jar were several crystalline pills like jade.

"Could it be... Dao Ling True Pills?"

"They truly are Dao Ling True Pills; to have cut out such a rare pill."

"It is said that the Dao Ling True Pill was once a secret transmission pill of the Dan Clan; after the Dan Clan declined, no other alchemist sect could reproduce it."

"Miss, I wonder if these pills can be resold?"

Some even could not help but ask.

Sang Yu was somewhat timid.

And Yun Xi slightly shook her head.

Although the Dao Ling True Pill is not bad, her brother rarely needs pills.

Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao has subdued the Dan Clan, so this pill is not impossible to refine.

Furthermore, it lacks any special quality.

Many people seeing this also secretly clicked their tongues.

It seems this miss is a wealthy lady; even cutting out Dao Ling True Pills does not elicit much joy from her.

However, just then.

Sang Yu suddenly felt as if she had sensed something.

She looked toward the corner of the ninth floor, where a source stone shrouded in dust lay...
