The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 51 Target Wang Family Stone Archway
"I plan to go to Shifang again before leaving the Holy City!" Liu Shan said to Ye Fan.

After hearing this, Ye Fan pondered for a while and agreed.

I don’t know when I will come to the Holy City next time, and since I have already caused so much trouble, I will go to the Stone Square to get some benefits.

After what happened in the past two days, Liu Shan suffered a big blow. Even a Taoist deity like the Saint Yaoguang had to flee in a hurry. How could he compete with his peers in the future?

Liu Shan decided to prepare some backup plans for himself. He was too badly defeated by the Yaoguang Saint Son. Although his cultivation was not as good as the Yaoguang Saint Son, the main reason was that he could not use the ruthless secrets, and the other party also knew how to do it. The star secrets and natural secrets of Taixuan Sect were still inferior to the Yaoguang secrets. After being on guard against the flames in the Fire God Furnace, he had no other means to fight the enemy.

He could only go to the Wang family stone archway to open the ownerless soldier soul, and then find a way to swallow the Purple Mansion Saint Son and get his Immortal-Slaying Gourd.

Liu Shan guessed that the Immortal-Slaying Gourd in the hands of the Saint of Zifu was at least a quasi-imperial weapon or even an ultimate imperial weapon.

After injecting the ownerless weapon soul, he could at least restore the strength of a quasi-imperial weapon. However, it was probably impossible to restore the ultimate imperial weapon. After all, he was not an emperor and could not repair the emperor's Dao pattern in the Immortal-Slaying Gourd.

Liu Shan changed his body shape and came to the Wang family stone archway in a low-key manner.

The area outside Wangjia Stone Archway was still as lively as usual, and the gamblers here were not affected by what happened in the past two days.

Yes, although there are suppressions from various major forces in the holy city, and there haven't been any open incidents of murder and robbery for a long time, but such things have never stopped in secret. This time it's just bigger, and the only thing damaged is the reputation of the Yaoguang Holy Land.

Looking at these gamblers in front of him, Liu Shan grinned and happily mixed in with them.

"Brother, how are you?" Liu Shan asked a fat man next to him.

The fat man first looked at Liu Shan in confusion, then said, "My luck was bad before, but today I feel good. I have picked a piece of stone and I feel very confident."

"Which stone, brother?" Liu Shan asked curiously.

Fatty looked at Liu Shan warily, and Liu Shan waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm just curious, how about you buy it first and then explain it to me?"

Only then did Fat Brother put away his vigilant gaze and went towards the stone he liked. After paying the money, he returned to Liu Shan.

Pointing to the stone he bought, he explained to Liu Shan the texture, color, etc. of the stone. Liu Shan pretended to listen to him carefully.

While this person was talking endlessly about analysis, Liu Shan had already used his Yuantian God's Eyes to examine it and concluded that it was just a piece of waste stone. This fat guy was just a theoretical expert.

"Brother, why don't we cut it first?" Liu Shan interrupted the old man. He had to interrupt him, otherwise it would go on and on.

"Okay, let's cut the stone now." Fat Brother stopped talking with a look of unsatisfied desire.

Liu Shan followed the fat man to the stone-cutting area and waited in line for the stone-cutting master.

Sure enough, as the stone-cutting master raised his knife and cut down, the stone skin fell off piece by piece, and there was nothing inside, just a piece of waste stone!
"How could this happen? I'm so lucky today. The texture of this stone shows that there is something inside!" The fat guy muttered to himself in disbelief.

Liu Shan looked at the fat man with amusement. He was indeed a gambler. He was unwilling to believe it even after the solution was revealed.

Liu Shan patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, brother. Maybe you made a mistake. Try again." Liu Shan comforted him.

The fat man looked at Liu Shan with resentment. "Now that you're here, why don't you give it a try?"

Liu Shan pretended to be interested and said, "Then I'll try it too? But I don't understand, brother, how about you help me pick one."

The fat guy became interested immediately and he pulled Liu Shan to pick out more than a dozen pieces in a row.

"These are the ones I had my eyes on before, but I didn't buy them because I was short of money. Now I'm introducing them to you. Pick one and try it."

Liu Shan opened his Source God Eye and scanned the dozen or so stones. Among the dozen or so stones, only one contained a Source Stone, and it was a very small one.

Liu Shan took a look at the fat guy, wondering whether the fat guy was trying to trick him or if the fat guy simply had bad luck and lacked strength.

It costs more than ten dollars to research and only one wins. How much money will I have to pay?
Liu Shan picked out the stone that could produce source stone, and then used the Source Heaven Divine Eye to select a stone that contained divine material from other stones.

After paying for the two stones, Liu Shan brought the stones to the stone-cutting master.

"I'm telling you, the stone you picked is not good! It's hard to ship. Oh, you've lost a lot." The fat man kept talking. Liu Shan secretly rolled his eyes at the old man, "You should have some self-awareness."

It was Liu Shan's turn to cut the stone. As the stone cutter's knife moved, the stone skin fell off. A dazzling light appeared from the stone.

"It's shipped! Hahaha, I thought there must be something inside this stone!" The fat guy was happier than Liu Shan, and he pulled Liu Shan and talked happily.

The light gradually faded, leaving only a piece of Originium the size of a baby's fist. Liu Shan stepped forward, collected the Originium, and shook it. "It's a small profit, Master, please continue."

Another round of knife fell, and a strong suction force suddenly came from the stone. The knife in the stone-cutting master's hand rushed directly to the stone uncontrollably. Then, the moment it approached the stone, it shattered it directly.

"My knife!" the stone-cutting master exclaimed. He had encountered this kind of thing before. The thing inside the stone actually decomposed his knife.

The fat guy next to Liu Shan directly covered the stone with his divine power, and then transformed the divine power into a big knife to forcibly decompose the stone.

The object inside was exposed, and it was as big as an adult's fist. Without the stone wrapping it was just suspended in the air.

"It's actually black magnet!" someone exclaimed.

"Mysterious magnet?" Liu Shan was a little confused. What was this thing?

"Such a large piece of black magnet, it's a jackpot!" someone said enviously.

The fat man looked at Liu Shan's puzzled look and explained to him: "Mysterious magnetite is a rare material for refining weapons. It is the size of a soybean and weighs more than ten thousand kilograms. It contains immortal magnetism and can naturally defeat pure gold weapons. If such a large piece of stone is purified, it can be used to forge a heavy weapon."

He then kindly said to Liu Shan: "My dear, why don't you sell this black magnetite to me? I'll give you 5,000 source stones!"

Five thousand source stones! Are you kidding me? Liu Shan was a little surprised at the shamelessness of this fat guy.

"Five thousand source stones are nothing! I'll offer you one hundred thousand source stones!" someone said next to him.

"It's only 100,000 Originium. Sell it to me for 300,000 Originium." Someone started to raise the price.

Liu Shan was a little surprised, he thought it was just an ordinary material! After all, through the source of the divine eye, the light of the black magnetic stone was restrained, not like other materials, shrouded in divine light.

Liu Shan's original intention was to randomly pick out a material, and then, because he won every time he opened one, he would take the opportunity to enter the inner courtyard of the Wang family's stone archway and take away the ownerless soldier soul in the stone archway.

Unexpectedly, a big thing came out right away. Now everyone's eyes are on me, and I can't keep a low profile anymore.

Liu Shan scratched his head awkwardly, stepped forward to put away the black magnet, and then pretended to be ignorant and said, "I don't know the value of this material! I'd better send it to the auction later!"

Fatty looked over with resentment. If it was sent to an auction, there would be no chance of getting a bargain. It would go to the highest bidder. It would definitely be much more expensive by then, probably worth millions of Originium.

Fatty continued, "My friend, you are so lucky today. Why don't you go take a look inside the stone shop? Although the things inside are a bit expensive, you can get better things!"

Liu Shan pretended to think. This fat dog has bad intentions!
Although the inner courtyard of the stone workshop can produce better things, the stones inside are ridiculously expensive. An ordinary cultivator will definitely lose everything if he goes in! But I just want to go in and take away the ownerless soldier soul, so I just need to follow his words.

Liu Shan made an interested expression, "The inner courtyard of the stone square? Can it produce better things? Why don't we give it a try? I'm lucky today and I'll kill everyone!"

Fat Brother looked at Liu Shan happily. There was one more gambler in the world.

Liu Shan followed Fat Brother and found the person in charge of the stone workshop together.

"We just found a divine material. We are lucky now. We want to try our hand in the inner courtyard of the stone workshop."

The person in charge of the stone workshop did not expect that a black magnetic stone would be found outside. After hearing the news, his face suddenly twisted for a moment, and then forced himself back to normal.

After seeing the change in expression, Liu Shan and Fatty looked at each other and held back their laughter.

"Yes, the stones inside are even more precious, and each piece has an extraordinary origin." The person in charge of the stone workshop began to lead the way.
