The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 21 Cutting Out the Fire Source and the Red Jade Marrow
The Yuantian Divine Eye has been cultivated, and Liu Shan is also planning to leave.

Before leaving, Liu Shan found Zhang Wuye alone.

"Master Zhang Wu, I am planning to leave. Before I leave, I want to pass on the Yuan Tian Shu to you. As for the Yuan Tian Shu, can I keep it?"

"Just leave the Source Heavenly Book behind. Leaving it to Zhangjiazhai will only cause trouble. We have no ability to protect it. As for the Source Heavenly Art."

Master Zhang Wu paused. He didn't want Liu Shan to keep the Yuan Tian Shu. The Yuan Tian Shu was too precious. Once outsiders knew that there was Yuan Tian Shu in Zhangjia Village, there would definitely be disaster for the whole family.

Now that the village has the Yuantian Technique, the younger generation will definitely practice it, and it will inevitably be known to outsiders. However, the Yuantian Technique was passed down by his ancestors, and he also wanted to leave a legacy for future generations, so he was a little conflicted at this time.

Liu Shan looked at Master Zhang Wu and understood his idea. He took out a piece of jade and engraved all the secret techniques recorded in the Yuantian Book in tiny words on it.

After the engraving was completed, the jade was handed over to Master Zhang Wu.

"Master Zhang Wu, all the inheritance of the source of heavenly arts that I have recorded are contained in here, and ordinary people cannot discover them. If you see someone who has talent in the future, you can give this jade stone to him."

Uncle Zhang Wu happily took the jade. This piece of jade solved his troubles and also left a legacy for future generations.

After acquiring the Yuantian Technique and practicing the Yuantian Divine Eyes, Liu Shan felt that he should put it into practice, so he planned to find a stone shop to try out his Yuantian Technique.

After flying for a few days, I finally found a stone shop in a big city where I could buy stones and gamble on source stones.

Although the source of the stone is in the North Territory, not all small oases and small cities have places to gamble for source stones. After all, the North Territory is too chaotic. If you open a stone shop in a small city, you may just pull the stone over and it will all be robbed.

It is not cost-effective to send people to guard every small stone archway. If the strength is too high, it will be a waste of talent, and if the strength is too low, it will be useless. Therefore, even though source stones are produced everywhere in the Northern Territory, only large cities have stone archways.

After confirming that there were several stone archways in the city, Liu Shan went out of the city again. In an uninhabited place outside the city, he used the method of changing the world recorded in the Source Book of Heaven and turned into a white-haired old man. Liu Shan walked into the city again and began to stroll among the stone archways.

Because he was short of money, he could only wander around the outskirts of Shifang. Although there was no capital verification required inside, he could not afford to buy anything even if he went in.

Along the way, although some bandits were eliminated and some source stones were obtained, it was not much, only a few hundred kilograms. It was estimated that you could not buy a single piece in the inner courtyard of the stone shop, so you could just pick up leaks in the outer area.

Liu Shan carefully observed each piece of stone outside the stone archway. He first used the stone viewing method recorded in the Yuan Tianshu to select about ten stones. After the selection, Liu Shan felt incredible. Is the gold content of this stone archway so high?
Liu Shan opened the Source Heaven Eye and used it to check the ten stones he had just selected. As expected, only three of the stones were real, and the rest were waste stones. As expected, his source technique was still far from perfect.

The three selected stones were handed over to the manager of the outer area. Although the stones in the outer area were cheaper, these three stones also cost Liu Shan 200 kilograms of source stones, about 70 kilograms of source stones per stone, which was really not cheap.

There are more than 100 stones in a large area, but only three of them have big goods inside, and the rest are either waste stones or can only produce some scraps. It seems that gambling on source stones is really not something that ordinary people can play, and the probability of one in a few tens is too low.

After handing over the source stones, Liu Shan handed the three stones to the stone cutter on the side. Because there were not many people in the stone workshop, there was no crowd watching the stone cutting this time like Ye Fan did.

First, a small piece of stone the size of a watermelon is cut. As the stone cutter raises and lowers the knife, the skin of the stone falls off, and the inside of the stone reveals.

As the eyes of the Source God saw, there was indeed a small piece of fiery red source stone inside, which was an alien source of fiery red. Seeing the fiery red light, Liu Shan couldn't help but grin. It was his first time gambling on stones and he got a small top-quality piece. The joy in his heart could not be suppressed at all.

The stone cutter didn't expect that he could really cut out a big piece. It turned out to be the legendary alien source. He has been cutting stones here for most of his life, and this is the first time he has seen an alien source. He looked at Liu Shan with envy.

Liu Shan quickly put away the Red Fire Source. If it was exposed outside for too long, its essence would slowly dissipate.

The stonecutter also put away his envious eyes. He had been cutting stone for such a long time and had seen many precious things. He also understood long ago that everything had nothing to do with him. He could only be a ruthless stonecutter with only the knife in his heart.

"Keep cutting," Liu Shan said with a smile, stroking his beard.

The stonecutter heard this and continued to cut. This time he cut a rectangular stone as thick as a thigh.

Another burst of swordsmanship, pieces of stone skin fell off, and another burst of red precious light emanated.

"Could it be another piece of red fire? This one is too big?" The stone cutter's eyes were blinded by a large patch of fire.

The red light gradually faded, and a large piece of fiery red jade appeared in front of the two people, as big as an adult's forearm.

"It's red chalcedony." The red light attracted even the manager nearby. Red chalcedony is a precious material for refining utensils. Although it is not as rare as immortal gold and Nine Heavens Divine Jade, it is also an immortal material that can only be used by the great power realm. With such a large piece of red chalcedony, there is no need to add other auxiliary materials to directly refine a magic weapon.

Now there was one more jealous person. Liu Shan stepped forward and took away the red chalcedony, his mouth wide open and he couldn't close it at all. The two precious lights gradually attracted some onlookers.

Liu Shan thought to himself that it was not good, and he did not care to laugh. He pointed to the largest piece of stone and said to the stone cutter: "Cut this big stone quickly. I am lucky today and I am in a hurry to go to Qunfang Tower to have fun."

"The old man may be old at home, but his heart is young." said someone nearby.

Liu Shan replied: "My heart is not old, and my body is not old either. I am planning to break through the realm and live for another few hundred years."

The stone-cutting master continued to cut with his knife, and the stone skin fell off, and a crystal light was emitted.

"Good boy, I'm so lucky, I got something again."

This old guy couldn't be "a source magician, right? How come he always hits the target?"

"He is still an Origin Master. He is just lucky."

"Thank you so much." Liu Shan said in his heart.

"Yes, how could a source magician come to such a small place? They all go to the Holy City. Besides, when a source magician comes, he will go to the inner courtyard to buy stones. Why would he gamble on stones in the outer area?"

No other good materials were cut out this time, just ordinary source stone. However, it was a large piece of source stone, almost half a square in size, and it was estimated to be several thousand kilograms of source stone.

A group of people looked at Liu Shan jealously as he put away the source stone. Liu Shan pursed his lips tightly, it was such a great feeling. Although he had used the source god's eyes to see what was inside, it was still very satisfying every time he really cut something out, and it was even more satisfying to see the envious eyes of the people around him.

"Don't show off. You have to leave quickly." Liu Shan said to himself.

"Everyone, I have to go to the Qunfang Tower, so I won't keep you company any longer." After saying that, he pushed through the crowd and strode away.

This time, I have obtained good things three times in a row. I am sure that many people are eyeing me. I have to be careful.

Liu Shan observed from behind and indeed found some people following him. Liu Shan walked along the small path, turning around and around, leaving some people behind, but there was a group that followed him all the time.

Liu Shan didn't want to get involved, but this group of people were determined to die.

He was waiting for the group of people there. When they saw that Liu Shan was not moving, they followed him directly without any concealment and walked up to him.

There were three people in total, all of them had ordinary looks, and it didn't look like they were planning to rob people.

"Old man, you got so many Originiums, no..."

Liu Shan was too lazy to listen to their nonsense and directly summoned the Lihuo Divine Furnace. A palm-sized crystal furnace flew out of his body and slowly grew larger, turning into a huge furnace more than one meter high. Through the crystal furnace wall, one could see the blazing Lihuo inside.

When the three men saw that Liu Shan summoned his magic weapon without waiting for them to finish speaking, they also hurriedly defended themselves. Each of them sacrificed a magic weapon, a bloody sword, a black flag, and a red bottle.

Liu Shan didn't care about them and directly burned the source stone and injected it into the Lihuo Divine Furnace. The crystal furnace lid suddenly opened, and an extremely strong suction force came out from the furnace mouth, instantly sucking the three people into the Lihuo Divine Furnace. The blazing Lihuo in the furnace instantly burned the three people to death.

Liu Shan took back the Lihuo Divine Furnace and rubbed the crystal furnace gently.

"Heh, you rookie. You have no strength yet you learn to rob others. You are good at tracking, but what's the point if you don't practice hard? Nowadays, fighting doesn't rely on strength, but on magic weapons and Originium. I will drown you with Originium."

After walking for a long time and seeing no one following him, Liu Shan left the city and went to a deserted place in the suburbs. He used the Heaven-Changing-Earth-Changing Technique to transform himself into a young man in black makeup and returned to the city.

He found an ordinary restaurant to stay in. Although he said before that he would go to Qunfanglou to have fun, that was just talk. Liu Shan's real body was only 13 or 14 years old, still a child, and his body was not fully developed, so it would be useless for him to go.
