Chapter 22 Success
However, after cutting these Originium stones open, not a single piece of Originium was found. Those who tried to steal the Originium stones gained nothing this time.
These ten source stones helped the Purple Mansion Holy Land earn hundreds of thousands of catties of source.
Moreover, these ten stones are just the beginning. As long as Lu Zhao makes any move, others will quickly seize the source stones that Lu Zhao has looked at, and they will make a huge profit once they select one.
In just half an incense stick's time, the Purple Mansion Holy Land earned a million catties of source.
"He said he wanted to give the Purple Mansion a small gift. Does that mean he wants us to cut open a piece of source stone and send it to the Purple Mansion?" someone said.
Someone raised a question, and the rest of the people instantly realized the answer.
Sure enough, after Lu Zhao said that, fewer people bought the source stones when he looked at them again; almost no one made a move.
However, when he tries to reach for the Originium, someone will quickly make a move to do so.
However, after trying more than ten times, no one managed to cut a source.
With this operation, the Purple Mansion instantly gained two million catties of source.
"Thank you for your generous gift, fellow Daoist." Zixia had already realized what was happening, and seeing that no one else was buying the source, she clasped her hands and bowed.
Many who lost the source cursed the two for their shamelessness.
If Lu Zhao hadn't acted this way, how could they have lost so many resources?
Seeing that no one was vying for the source stone, Lu Zhao casually picked up a piece of source stone. This source stone was the size of a fist and had a weathered hole in the middle.
"I haven't cut any source stones in the various stone workshops today, so I'll cut this one today." Lu Zhao gripped the source stone tightly.
"Fellow Daoist, you only chose this one piece?" Zixia stared intently at Lu Zhao.
No matter what, Lu Zhao made Zi Fu earn two million catties of source for free. Even if Lu Zhao gambled on source here, Zi Fu couldn't say anything.
"This one piece is enough," Lu Zhao said with a smile and a nod.
"Since you've given me a gift from the Purple Mansion, how about I give you this Source Stone as a return gift?" Zixia said with a smile.
"Then thank you, fellow Daoist." Lu Zhao bowed slightly to the other party.
Having said that, he put away the Origin Stone and prepared to leave. Since it was a gift given to him, he had an excuse not to cut the Origin Stone to show it to others.
"Fellow Daoist, now that you've chosen the source stone, why not cut it open and let us see it?" someone said with a smile.
"That's right. Everyone here wants to see just how advanced your Origin Techniques are, and we have no other intentions." Xiang Yifei, the Holy Son of the Great Evolution Holy Land, nodded repeatedly.
"Since you've come to my Purple Mansion, you must abide by its rules. Although you've greatly increased the Purple Mansion's profits, you still need to cut the source stone," the Purple Mansion's Holy Son said coldly.
"What are you doing here causing trouble? This is a return gift for my fellow Daoist. It doesn't need to be cut open in the stone workshop." Zixia stepped forward and glared coldly at the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion.
Zixia looked down on this holy son from the very beginning.
The gap between her and her opponent was simply too great; someone of the same cultivation level could be easily suppressed by her.
"You..." The face of the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion instantly turned red.
His anger reached its peak after being publicly refuted by Zixia.
"I'm going to find the elder." The Holy Son of the Purple Mansion snorted coldly, glared fiercely at Lu Zhao, then turned and left the stone workshop with a flick of his sleeve.
"I'm sorry," Zixia said apologetically to Lu Zhao.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for that," Lu Zhao simply shook his head.
"Fellow Daoist, please keep this stone without worry. If any elders come, I will explain. Fellow Daoist, you don't need to worry about anything," Zixia continued to explain.
"Then thank you very much, fellow Daoist." Lu Zhao put away the source stones with peace of mind.
Many holy sons and daughters showed clear disappointment in their eyes when they saw the source stones being taken away.
"That concludes today. Please do not follow us any further. We will meet again when the opportunity arises," Lu Zhao said, cupping his fists in greeting.
After saying that, he pushed through the crowd and walked towards the outside of the Purple Mansion Stone Archway.
Zixia opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back down.
When she was with Lu Zhao, she felt very comfortable. Now that Lu Zhao has suddenly left, Zixia naturally feels reluctant to part with him.
However, Zixia quickly returned to normal and went back to how she was at the beginning.
After Lu Zhao left, the people who had gathered around him gradually dispersed.
The once bustling Zifu Stone Archway instantly returned to normal.
By the time the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion arrived, most of the people in the stone workshop had already left. However, upon his return, his expression was noticeably more unpleasant.
He told the elder what had just happened, and was reprimanded by the elder.
To say he was too stingy was to embarrass his Purple Mansion Holy Land.
"Fellow Daoist, what was the result?" The Holy Son of Dayan took the initiative to greet him.
"Let's leave it at that. Zixia gave him the Source Stone, which is equivalent to Zifu giving it to him. If I still ask him to cut the Source Stone, it would be equivalent to Zifu going back on its word." The Holy Son of Zifu shook his head. This was the elder's opinion.
But judging from the expression on his face, he was clearly still very dissatisfied.
"Even if Zixia is given to him, are you just going to let it go like this?" Dayan Holy Son Xiang Yifei's eyes flashed as he continued to bewitch the other party.
"I felt very uncomfortable when I saw this person. I felt that this matter was not so simple, and there was something wrong with that stone," said the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion.
"Indeed, it's not simple." Xiang Yifei, the Holy Son of Dayan, nodded in agreement.
"Let's follow him quietly and see if he can take away the mysterious treasure contained in that stone," said the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion.
"Alright, let's follow them and see." The Holy Son of Dayan nodded immediately.
The two turned and left the Purple Mansion Stone Archway to search for Lu Zhao's whereabouts outside the archway.
Lu Zhao left the Purple Mansion Stone Archway and headed towards the Heavenly Palace in the city. He entered a secluded alley and quickly pretended to cough up blood.
The blood also had a hint of gold, a color that was far too striking.
This was something he had prepared in advance, a disguise he had put on himself.
Otherwise, acquiring so many treasures in such a short time would inevitably attract many greedy enemies.
Even the location of the coughing up of blood, along with other details, were all calculated in advance, which was bound to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
The belief that he was actually Ye Fan, the Holy Body, shifted the focus to the Holy Body.
As for himself, he needs to gradually extricate himself from the attention.
Now that he has obtained the source stone he wanted, he has finally found what he needed, which is of great benefit to him, and is not just as simple as refining weapons.
The only downside is that the amount of divine material this time is a bit small.
It's only about half the size of a fist, which is not enough for crafting under normal circumstances.
Back then in the stone workshop, Lu Zhao made extensive preparations in order to obtain this source stone. Those people were too cunning; if he hadn't done so, it would have been difficult to obtain this treasure.
If you try to take this source stone directly, someone standing closer will definitely snatch it away.
However, he is now completely relieved. He has now obtained the source stone and is no longer afraid that someone else will buy it ahead of time.
