#297 - Lost a game
Finally, Celestial Master Shi Fangshan made up his mind. He gritted his teeth, and the compass in his hand buzzed again, aiming at the stone.
A dazzling golden light shot out instantly, and the stone seemed to respond, emitting strands of golden light. Even an amateur could see at a glance that this was an extraordinary gem.
He laughed triumphantly: “Your Highness, we must get this treasure! Although this kid has had some lucky encounters and used some means to recognize the gem just now, it is ours now.
If he had hidden it and not offered it, he might have been able to keep it, but he wants to give it to Your Highness, how could Your Highness miss it?”
As soon as these words came out, Prince Qi Bai's spirits also lifted, and he said with a smile: “Qiu Fengyue, it's not too late for you to regret it now, I'll give you a chance.
If you are stubborn, we will open this stone immediately, and the treasure inside, hehe, the Black Hole Stone in your hand will be mine.”
When everyone heard this, they looked at Qiu Fengyue one after another, secretly thinking that although he was lucky, he was arrogant and easily gave the treasure to others, which was really stupid.
Mentioning that Li Chengfeng had severely damaged Tianlu Fang City, some people chuckled that he was lucky to be rescued.
Facing the discussion of the crowd, Li Chengfeng said coldly: “Do you think that I, Qiu Fengyue, will go back on my word? This Blood Nether Stone, I am determined to get it!”
After saying that, he quickly cast a spell, and a series of magic techniques fell on the stone like whips. Stone chips flew, like a rain of flowers in the sky. Although the scene was beautiful, it also revealed weirdness and unpredictability.
However, when the dust settled, there was nothing but a thin layer of ash on the ground, and no treasure appeared.
He frowned, unable to believe it: “Impossible, my compass clearly shows that there is a treasure here! Why…”
He searched the ashes unwillingly, but found nothing. He only felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and cold sweat broke out.
In the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood, muttering to himself: “Why is it so evil today? Could it be a backlash from the Dao of Heaven?”
At this moment, Prince Qi Bai's face was livid and full of doubts. How could this seemingly sure-win game end like this?
Could it be that he was really unlucky today, and the Celestial Master he invited encountered a backlash from the Dao of Heaven? Everyone present was also confused, only Li Chengfeng knew the truth.
He knew that the reason why the stone glowed was because it contained immortal energy, and immortal energy was not a tangible treasure. Once leaked, it would be untraceable.
Moreover, he had already extracted almost all of the immortal energy, and the only remaining glimmer had completely dissipated in this tossing.
Li Chengfeng laughed loudly and confidently announced: “Everyone has seen with their own eyes that I won this treasure with real talent and learning, so I will naturally accept it with a smile.”
After saying that, he waved his sleeves lightly, and a white light flashed. The Blood Nether Stone and the Black Hole Stone disappeared without a trace and were put into his storage bag.
He held his head high and puffed out his chest. His pride in victory made everyone present feel unhappy.
Wang Mang looked at all of this, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart, both envy and helplessness for Qiu Fengyue's “good luck”.
Zhongli Meiying was shocked and could not believe this sudden turn of events. She thought it over and over again, but could not find the reason for the defeat.
Li Chengfeng was secretly overjoyed. These two strange stones were the key to refining his natal magic weapon.
The idea of the four swords has taken shape: the Heavenly Dao Sword needs the Three Lives Stone, the Hell Sword gets the Lightning Strike Wood, the Bloodthirsty Sword has the Blood Nether Stone, and as for the last Black Hole Stone, he named it the Wind Cave Sword, and the materials are also ready.
Waiting for the Nine Mysterious War Iron to split itself, and with the blessing of the Nine Mysterious Dragon Formation, the power of the four swords can be doubled, and his path to the return of all laws will take initial shape.
On the other hand, the Celestial Master was now ashen-faced, trembling all over, his white hair increased sharply, and the fire of his life seemed to be extinguished at any time.
He gritted his teeth and whispered unwillingly: “Qiu Fengyue, today is my great misfortune, suffering a backlash from the Dao of Heaven, allowing you to succeed.
But there will be plenty of time in the future, I will definitely get back today's humiliation!”
Li Chengfeng curled his lips into a sneer and said contemptuously: “With your little bit of superficial skills, you still want to be compared with me?
Celestial Master? Hmph, I think you are unworthy of the name, just filling the numbers.
Today's defeat is just you bringing it upon yourself, and you still want to regain face in the future? It's just wishful thinking!”
After saying that, he let out a mocking laugh, then turned around and continued to pick stones.
Prince Qi Bai's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from it. He was furious, but he was helpless.
120,000 middle-grade spirit stones were so easily taken away by Qiu Fengyue, which was undoubtedly a great shame to him.
He secretly hated Qiu Fengyue, vowing that if he had the opportunity, he would make him pay the price.
Seeing this, Celestial Master Fangshan quickly took two elixirs, his face quickly returned to ruddy, and his breath also stabilized a lot.
He pretended to be calm and said to the prince: “Your Highness, please rest assured, today's defeat is only temporary.
This kid is just lucky, if there is another chance, I will definitely make him suffer the consequences.
I have taken the Heavenly Cloud Pill and temporarily suppressed the backlash from the Dao of Heaven. Next, I will let him know what it means to be truly defying the Mandate of Heaven.”
However, the prince's eyes showed a bit more distrust towards him.
He knew that inviting this Celestial Master had cost him a huge price, but he didn't expect him to be so vulnerable.
But since things had come to this, he could only reluctantly accept it and try to comfort the Celestial Master: “Victory or defeat is common in military affairs, don't be too concerned.
Today's defeat may be paving the way for future victory.”
Li Chengfeng turned a deaf ear to the two people's mutual comfort. His attention was completely attracted by the treasure hunt in front of him.
He casually picked up a seemingly ordinary stone and used the Cauldron Bottom Dao Source to explore, but did not find any spiritual energy fluctuations, and was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, the old demon's excited voice rang in his mind: “Master! Master! Don't miss it! This stone is a treasure!”
Li Chengfeng was stunned, and then asked with his primordial spirit: “Why is this? Why can't I see anything special about it?”
The old demon's voice was a bit excited and eager, and he continued to explain: “Master, you really have discerning eyes. This stone is no small matter. It is a rare Star Attraction Stone!
After being refined by secret methods, it can absorb the power of the stars in the heaven and earth, adding infinite possibilities to your cultivation path.
Especially your cultivation of the Heavens Star Realm, if it can complement this Star Meteorite, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, and your strength will be doubled!”
When Li Chengfeng heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately nodded in praise: “Old Demon, you have indeed made a great contribution this time! After I finish this matter, I will definitely reward you well, help you improve to the first level of Qi training, and make your soul even stronger.”
When the old demon heard this, he was grateful and wept, and quickly cupped his fists and bowed, his voice a bit choked up: “Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will definitely do my best and live up to your expectations.
Next, I will be more careful and cautious, and find more treasures for the Master.”
However, at this moment, the Fallen Copper Coin suddenly reached out and gently patted the old demon on the “head”. Although it was just a wisp of remnant thoughts, the old demon still felt a dizzy spell and almost didn't stabilize his body.”
He shouted in uncontrollable anger: “Ignorant child, why did you hit me for no reason? I have made great contributions to the Master!”
Seeing this, the Fallen Copper Coin laughed loudly, and he explained: “Old Demon, Old Demon, you misunderstood. I'm not hitting you, I'm clearly praising you!
Isn't it more intimate for friends to tease each other occasionally? I'm just happy to see you doing good things for the Master, so I couldn't help but pat you.”
The old demon glared at the Fallen Copper Coin angrily, and said unhappily: “Stop giving me that crap! When I recover to the Tribulation Transcending Stage, see how I deal with you!”
The Fallen Copper Coin smiled disapprovingly: “Wait until you reach the Tribulation Transcending Stage? Hehe, I'm afraid I've already ascended to the Immortal Realm by then. Let's stop talking nonsense and find more treasures.”
Since the little boy recovered, he has become more talkative. With the company of the old demon and the Fallen Copper Coin, he even tried to tease the old demon in every possible way.
