Chapter 123 The Battle of Jade
Midnight passed.
The more than 300 catties of immortal essence have all been absorbed by Li Lan and transformed into immortal essence points.
He began to focus all his energy on the Great Dao True Eye Technique!
At this moment, his tightly closed eyes seemed to contain countless rays of light, which were beautiful and exquisite!
But what followed was immense pain.
At first, it felt like someone was pricking his eyeballs with needles, the pain was so intense he almost screamed, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, as if his eyeballs were being chopped off with a knife and axe, and he almost felt that his eyes no longer existed!
After enduring the ordeal, a surge of vitality suddenly fills the air, like a withered old tree suddenly being caressed by the spring breeze and growing wildly. It's an extremely comfortable experience, a tingling, numb feeling, as if you've been reborn.
But this pleasurable sensation didn't last long. Suddenly, another kind of pain swept over them, and a chilling cold current enveloped their eyes, as if they were frozen!
The icy sensation hadn't subsided when the flames returned, as if I were being repeatedly scorched...
This is the power of the Five Elements!
As the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth took turns surfacing, tears would sometimes flow from Li Lan's eyes, blood would sometimes flow, and aging skin tissue would sometimes peel off... completely beyond her control.
It wasn't until dawn that Li Lan's eyes returned to normal.
At this moment, although his eyes were closed, they still possessed a mysterious charm that drew attention.
Li Lan suddenly opened his eyes, and in an instant, five-colored light burst forth from them, as if laws were flashing through them, startling the protective array in the room.
"Young Master Zhan, is there anything unusual?"
The guardian of the Sun and Moon Tower immediately asked a question.
With a mere thought, the light vanished, all divine brilliance receded, and his eyes returned to normal, yet possessed a profound and vast quality.
At this moment, his eye skills have reached a new level!
"The True Eye of the Great Dao, the Eye of Dharma".
Generally speaking, only exceptional geniuses who obtain sufficient opportunities from the heavenly tribulation when breaking through to the immortal realm can awaken the Dharma Eye.
Those with the "Dharma Eye" can discern the true nature of others' spells and understand the essence of immortal techniques at a glance, greatly aiding their future cultivation in the path of immortality.
But Li Lan felt that his Dharma Eye... was far superior to that of ordinary Dharma Eyes.
For example, at this moment, with a glance, the protective array set up by the Sun Moon Sect in the room looked like a deconstructed array diagram in his eyes. He could clearly sense the flow of power within it and see through the weaknesses and strengths of the array.
According to records, it is already quite good if an ordinary person with the ability to perceive the existence of a formation and have a general understanding of its purpose.
"Now, if we go looking for raw stones again, we should be able to see them much more clearly... What kind of wonderful uses will the next level of Earth Eye have?"
Li Lan was full of anticipation.
He immediately pushed open the door and went out.
"Did Young Master Zhan rest well last night?"
But Elder Yu had been waiting at the door for a long time, his posture respectful, personally carrying breakfast: Immortal Soup, Immortal Bird Eggs, etc., clearly indicating that he had something to ask of him.
"Elder Yu, is there anything I can do for you?"
Li Lan got straight to the point.
Elder Yu said, "Indeed, I have a request!"
"Today, several Source Masters will be coming to challenge our Sun and Moon Mine. Originally, the sect had arranged for Source Masters to fight them, but some unexpected events occurred and they are unable to come... Therefore, we would like to ask Young Master to take action and resolve the crisis in our mine."
Elder Yu said, "Of course, as a reward, young master, you don't need to pay any fees for gambling on stones today. Everything inside the cut stones can belong to you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Lan's heart skipped a beat!
The raw stones from the Sun and Moon Mine are not cheap.
For example, the piece of reclining ox stone that Zhao Zhenming cut yesterday was worth seventy or eighty jin of immortal essence, but reclining ox stones are only the best quality from the Huangzihao mining area!
The raw stones from the mines designated as "Xuan", "Di", and "Tian" will likely fetch astronomical prices!
But now, Li Lan can cut the stone for free and take whatever's inside...
How can we not do this business with no capital?
"Who is this person who came to challenge us?"
However, Li Lan still asked cautiously.
If the Sun Moon Sect wasn't facing immense pressure, how could it offer such generous terms?
"They are all Source Masters with a well-established lineage of Source Techniques..."
Elder Yu's vague words made Li Lan realize that the other party must be someone of great importance.
However, Li Lan had no reason to back down!
He couldn't possibly stand by and watch that Primordial Divine Source fall into the hands of the Li family and other forces.
"Okay, I agree."
Upon hearing this, Elder Yu was overjoyed!
……
Today, the jade gambling event has become the focus of the entire Beidi City!
"The jade gambling convention has officially begun!"
"The battle between the pro-war and pro-peace factions hinges on this war..."
"I heard that the Sun Moon Sect seems to be facing some problems. I wonder if they are able to accept the challenge?"
The whole city is buzzing with discussion!
Representatives from all major powers went to watch the battle, and the entire street of the gambling stone market was packed with people. Fortunately, Li Lan had a special chariot sent by the Sun Moon Sect to pick him up.
"The Source Masters of the Sun Moon Cult have finally arrived!"
"Is he a master from the Ancient Origin Master lineage?"
"The lineage of the Ancient Origin Master has not appeared in the world for many years. This time, we can finally witness their splendor!"
The surrounding chatter reached Li Lan's ears inside the car, and Li Lan couldn't help but ask Elder Yu curiously, "Didn't the people of the Ancient Origin lineage agree to help the Sun Moon Sect?"
Elder Yu looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "This... to be honest, Young Master Zhan, there are some disagreements, but don't worry, as long as you help us get through today, everything should be fine."
Li Lan nodded.
The car had come to a stop, and Li Lan and Elder Yu got out together.
"This is Gu Shengtian?"
"No, I've met Gu Shengtian before, and he's definitely not this person. I'm afraid this first day is just a trial run for his junior brothers or the like?"
"Alone, is this person's Origin Technique truly that advanced?"
All eyes immediately focused on Li Lan.
"Wait, isn't this the guy from yesterday who could identify the source of a copper coin?"
"Fight the Alien Source!"
"How could it be him? Could he be from the lineage of Master Guyuan? I knew it! What nonsense about copper coins! He's just a master pretending to be weak while actually being strong!"
Suddenly, someone in the audience recognized Li Lan!
His appearance at this moment, coupled with his performance yesterday, instantly led people to mistakenly believe that he was a master of the Ancient Origin Master lineage.
"This person is definitely not from our Ancient Origin Master lineage!"
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out!
Another magnificent chariot slowly drove up and stopped not far away. One of the young men in white robes stepped out and spoke from afar. He smiled and said, "Today, the Sun Moon Sect has invited another expert, so our Gu Yuan lineage will first observe the expert's methods and learn from them."
Upon hearing this, everyone around was taken aback.
"This person is Gu Shengtian's younger brother, Gu Shengxian!"
"If he says no, then Zhan Yiyuan really isn't from the Ancient Origin Master lineage!"
"What's going on? Wasn't it agreed that the Sun Moon Sect would invite Master Guyuan's lineage?"
There was a sense of confusion around them.
"Brother Cao, what's going on?"
Even the Wooden Sword Immortal of the Sword Sect couldn't help but ask Cao Yueshu a question at this moment.
The Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Sect are of one mind and advocate war together, so the Sword Sect naturally pays close attention to this matter as well.
Cao Yueshu frowned slightly, gave an awkward smile, and said, "I will explain this to Brother Mu later. Right now... it is indeed this young friend Zhan who is fighting on behalf of my Sun Moon Sect."
Having said that, he stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Young friend Zhan, please!"
Li Lan walked over calmly.
"The forces of the Li, Zhu, and Qin families have arrived!"
At that moment, a loud shout rang out.
Everyone turned to look, and saw that a path had been cleared through the dense crowd, and the carriages of the Li family and other forces were coming one after another, lined up in a row.
The person who came today was a middle-aged man, whom Li Lan immediately recognized.
It was Li Daoling, who had met Li Lan once when he went to the Abyss Realm!
Back when he was in the Abyss Realm, due to a momentary lapse of judgment, in order to protect Li Huan, Li Xue'er, and others, he made Li Lan, who was supposed to be brought back to the Immortal Clan by him, the fuel for the sacrificial burning array.
After returning to the Li family, it was said that he was punished by the family and forced into seclusion to reflect on his mistakes. Now it seems that he has finished reflecting on his mistakes and has been reinstated.
In addition, this person is the father of Li Jue, who was deposed by Li Lan in Zuizhou last time!
The Blue Fairy of the Qin family and Zhu Donglai of the Zhu family are also old acquaintances.
At this moment, Li Daoling, Fairy Lanxia, and Zhu Donglai stood to one side, waiting silently.
A blood-red carriage slowly approached from behind.
The blood-red carriage, pulled by pure white spirit horses, was quite eye-catching. After it stopped, two young men slowly stepped down.
They were all wearing blood-red robes embroidered with black yin-yang symbols.
"The same bloodline!"
From the crowd, someone suddenly spoke up and uttered those four words!
In an instant, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and countless people reacted.
"Bloodline, what is that?"
"You don't even know about the Blood Origin lineage? Among the Origin Masters, it is the most domineering and powerful, but also the most evil. I've heard that this lineage needs the blood of other Origin Masters to refine Origin Techniques. Behind every Blood Origin Master are the lives of many Origin Masters!"
"No wonder the Sun Moon Sect and Sword Sect, among others, spent heavily to recruit Source Masters but ultimately gained very little. This lineage is acting on behalf of the Li family; who dares to oppose them?"
Everyone looked extremely solemn.
"Perhaps only the lineage of the Ancient Origin Masters has a chance to defeat them!"
"Indeed, the lineage of Guyuan Master is upright and honorable, the true lineage, and is far superior to these heretical sects!"
"The Li and Zhu families are also super-powerful forces, yet they actually went to invite this infamous bloodline... That's a bit too much."
Many people whispered.
At this moment, the ancient sage smiled and said, "You flatter me. There are countless experts in the world of Origin Masters. Our lineage of Ancient Origin Masters is nothing special. This young talent invited by the Sun Moon Sect will surely rise to prominence in one battle. Let us wait and see!"
He looked at Li Lan with a mocking expression!
They originally thought that the Sun Moon Sect would succumb to the pressure and agree to Gu Shengtian's marriage proposal.
That's why he came here, ready to make his move.
Unexpectedly, the Sun Moon Sect went to find someone else... This really annoyed him!
The more I look at Li Lan, the more I dislike him!
……
At this moment, two young men from the Bloodline lineage, accompanied by Li Daoling and others, walked to the main gate.
"Brother Cao, these two are Blood Refining Stones and Blood Refining Source Masters of the Blood Source lineage. With them taking action, I think the outcome of this battle is already decided, and there's no need for further casualties, right?"
As he spoke, Li Daoling glanced at Li Lan and smiled, "After all, this young friend is so young and already a Source Master. It would be a real pity if he were to die so young..."
Before Li Lan could reply, Xue Lianshi suddenly said coldly, "You're wrong, he's not a Source Master."
Upon hearing this, Li Daoling was stunned for a moment, and everyone else around him was also very surprised.
Li Lan, not a Yuan Shi?
