Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 945: Chapter 24: The Trunk of the Tree of Life

Lin Feng looked at Xuanyuan Long and asked with a smile, “What insights do you have about these three Immortal Spirit Stones, Brother Xuanyuan?”

Xuanyuan Long said, “These three Immortal Spirit Stones are full of vitality. I have never seen stone materials with such vigorous life force. I feel that each stone contains something good, but I vaguely sense that something is amiss, though I cannot pinpoint exactly what.”

Sensing the life aura within the stone material.

This requires extremely strong abilities.

Lin Feng could sense the life aura within the stone material by using the “Heavenly Demon Snake Eye,” sometimes also employing the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique in conjunction with it.

As for Xuanyuan Long, it was evident that he had mastered some exceptionally strong stone identification skills to be able to sense it.

Lin Feng nodded and said, “That’s right! There’s indeed something wrong with these three stone materials.”

“Kid, don’t speak nonsense. The stone materials we place here in the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty’s stone workshop are top-grade, how could there be a problem?” An elder from the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty Stone Pavilion said coldly.

Lin Feng shrugged and said, “I once cut a very precious stone material, hoping to find something good inside, but ended up with nothing. Do you remember, Elder Qilian?”

Qilian Xun nodded and said, “Of course, I remember. At that time, the little friend was helping me cut the stone. There was Dragon Blood inside, but it had dried up, turning the stone into worthless material.”

Lin Feng said, “So, even the most precious stone material might have nothing inside, and even if there is something, various accidents might destroy it.”

The faces of the people from the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty Stone Pavilion grew increasingly grim.

After listening to Lin Feng’s words, it seems that cultivators who intended to purchase the three Immortal Spirit Stones might now give up.

Lin Feng didn’t care about their expressions or feelings, or whether they were gnashing their teeth in hatred towards him.

He was inherently at odds with the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty, undying and unending.

The more frustrated the enemy was.

The more delighted Lin Feng felt.

…

Xuanyuan Long asked, “Is Brother Lin suggesting we choose other stone materials?”

Lin Feng chuckled, kicked the platform under the three Immortal Spirit Stones, and said, “How much is this platform?”

“One thousand top-grade Spirit Stones,” the elder of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty Stone Pavilion blurted out, and then said with a face turned grim, “This is a stone workshop, a place to sell stone materials, not this type of platform. If you want these support platforms, you can find plenty in the market.”

“Who said this isn’t a stone material? Didn’t the elder just say this material is valued at one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones? Brother Xuanyuan, you should choose this stone material,” Lin Feng said.

“This….” Xuanyuan Long became uncertain and suspicious.

Because he indeed didn’t see anything special about this stone platform.

Others were puzzled, unable to understand why Lin Feng would purchase such a platform.

There were many identical stone platforms placed in the courtyard.

Xuanyuan Long thought for a moment and then nodded, “Fine, I’ll choose this platform.”

The elder from the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty sneered and said, “Do you really think some treasure can be cut out from a platform? If you want to give money to my Yuhua Immortal Dynasty, we are more than happy to receive it.”

The elder ordered someone to move the three Immortal Spirit Stones aside, and the massive platform appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“You can start cutting the stone now!”

Lin Feng said.

Xuanyuan Long nodded, took out a stone cutting blade, and began cutting the stone.

The platform kept getting smaller.

From a length of several meters, it quickly went down to just around three to four meters, and still, nothing was cut out. Many people began whispering about whether the so-called Little Stone Saint was just a façade.

Xuanyuan Long remained calm; it was only one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, and he wouldn’t grieve over such a loss.

The platform continued to shrink in size.

When it was only about a dozen centimeters, Xuanyuan Long made another cut.

As soon as the blade went down, a rich vitality was released.

Everyone was instantly invigorated.

It seemed apparent that something good was about to be unveiled.

Xuanyuan Long’s eyes lit up, and he carefully cut open the last piece of stone material.

Soon, a palm-sized piece of emerald green wood appeared in everyone’s sight, emanating a strong life force.

This piece of wood even gave people a peculiar feeling, as if cultivating beside it would endlessly increase one’s life span.

“A trunk of the Tree of Life,” exclaimed Qilian Xun.

Previously, Lin Feng had helped him cut out a drop of the Water of Life.

That Water of Life was condensed by the Tree of Life.

But clearly, the value of a drop of Water of Life couldn’t compare to such a piece of the Tree of Life trunk.

…

“My heavens, can such a thing be cut out?”

“The Tree of Life, long extinct, yet a trunk remains in the world? With such vigorous vitality, is it possible to cultivate it into a sapling?”

“Xuanyuan Long has truly struck gold.”

“The Little Stone Saint is incredible, reaching a level of Divine Transformation to be called a Saint. Now I see why Elder Qilian Xun and others highly regard him.”

…

Many people were discussing and looking at Xuanyuan Long with expressions of envy and jealousy.

They looked at Lin Feng with admiration.

“Brother Lin is truly talented!” Xuanyuan Long clasped his hands, now genuinely in awe of Lin Feng to the utmost degree.

He hadn’t seen anything special in the platform, yet Lin Feng had not only noticed but also managed to uncover a trunk of the Tree of Life.

The people from the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty Stone Pavilion looked sullen, gritting their teeth in resentment.

Selling the stone material that included the Tree of Life trunk for only one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, how could they not feel frustrated?

Duanmu Xiang and Sima Hua were also excited, as Lin Feng had shown his wondrous abilities.

Next, Lin Feng would cut stones for them, and they naturally were extremely excited.

Praying they could acquire a valuable supreme treasure like Xuanyuan Long did.

“Who is the next Taoist friend for whom you’ll select a stone?” Lin Feng asked.

“Let’s first select a stone for Mr. Duanmu,” Sima Hua said with a slight smile.

“Thank you, Daoist Si Ma,” Duanmu Xiang said with a slight bow.

Lin Feng nodded and walked around the stone workshop.

The Yuhua Immortal Dynasty’s stone workshop was one of the most top-grade workshops, with thirty-six courtyards, and all kinds of stone materials, probably numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

So there were many good things; whether or not something good could be cut out depended on individual skill.

Everyone watched Lin Feng, curious about which stone material he would choose, and finally, he stopped by a pond.

This pond had a rock garden in it, serving as a wishing pool where many people made wishes when cutting stones, praying they would get something good.

“Could the second piece of stone material be in the wishing pool?” Many were suddenly invigorated.
