Chapter 926: Chapter 5: Stone Cutting!
The three stone materials are Honey Smoke Stone, Black Scale Stone, and Fire Rock Stone.
These three types of stone materials are very common, and of course, in the lowest grade stone material area, finding high-level stone materials is impossible.
The Honey Smoke Stone is like a beehive, oval-shaped with densely packed holes. Cultivators are reluctant to choose this stone because, even if there is something inside, the holes may cause it to contact with the outside air and spoil prematurely.
The Black Scale Stone is black, with a surface covered in a keratin layer that resembles fish scales. This stone material is often dredged from lakes.
Of course, some Black Scale Stones are dredged from the sea.
The Fire Rock Stone is a rock formed by volcanic lava movements and is usually mined around volcanoes.

Wang Chaosong first chose to cut the Honey Smoke Stone.
His movements were not skilled, even quite inexperienced, but he quickly seemed to find the technique for cutting stone material, slicing off pieces of stone skin.
âHoney Smoke Stone is the material that should be eliminated first among all; itâs very difficult to cut out anything worthwhile, and even if there is something, seven or eight times out of ten, it ends up ruined.â
âIndeed, choosing Honey Smoke Stone is worse than choosing other stone materials, but these people seem to be novices; I can see they choose stones quite randomly.â
âAfter selecting more stones and gaining more experience, they will know how to pick stones.â
Many cultivators discussed this, and some had a show of pointing and directing matters.
The stone material kept getting smaller, reducing from over one meter in diameter to just twenty centimeters.
This situation seemed perfectly normal to the onlookers, as stone gambling is inherently about risking little for great gain.
Itâs quite normal to cut hundreds or even thousands of pieces of stone without finding anything.
Wang Chaosong wasnât disappointed at all because he had never expected to cut anything valuable from the stone materials from the beginning.
If there are no expectations, how could there be disappointment?
Wang Chaosong made one final cut.
As soon as he cut halfway, streaks of purple thunder power shot out from the cracked stone material.
âThereâs something inside the stone material!â
Seeing this, many people exclaimed in surprise.
There was not only something inside the stone material, but it was probably something extraordinary.
To be able to shoot purple lightning attacks at Wang Chaosong was truly astonishing.
Wang Chaosong reacted extremely quickly, striking the lightning with his palm and shattering it.
His face showed an excited expression, even though he hadnât hoped for anything, seeing something truly emerge would naturally make him wildly excited.
Wang Chaosong looked at Lin Feng.
âCut carefully,â Lin Feng said.
Wang Chaosong nodded, and at this moment, his hand holding the Stone Cutting Blade trembled slightly.
Wang Chaosong meticulously cut open the stone material, revealing a piece of Purple Thunder Wood about ten centimeters long inside.
The Purple Thunder Wood continuously emitted streaks of thunder.
âPurple Thunder Wood! Someone cut out Purple Thunder Wood! Itâs a piece of True Spirit Wood from the core trunk of a Purple Thunder Tree. The Purple Thunder Tree, rumored to be a Divine Tree from the Ancient Era, is a tree compatible with both wood and thunder attributes; since the end of the Ancient Era, the Purple Thunder Tree has been extinct, and Purple Thunder Wood has gradually disappeared, rarely passing down. Purple Thunder Wood can not only forge magical treasures with wood and thunder attributes, but itâs said that cultivators who practice Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques or Thunder Skills can wear Purple Thunder Wood to enhance their cultivation speed tenfold!â
A cultivator exclaimed in shock, looking at the Purple Thunder Wood in Wang Chaosongâs hand with the desire to snatch it.
This treasure is worth at least over a million Top-grade Spiritual Stones.
The steward of the Stone Workshop turned green; a Honey Smoke Stone valued at one hundred Top-grade Spiritual Stones produced Purple Thunder Wood worth over a million Top-grade Spiritual Stones, a huge loss in business.
âBrother, youâve hit it bigâŠâ Yuanhua and the others looked at Wang Chaosong enviously.
Wang Chaosong still hadnât recovered from his shock, and he had only bought the three pieces of stone material Lin Feng picked for him because he didnât want to spoil Lin Fengâs interest.
And now.
He had actually cut out Purple Thunder Wood worth over a million Top-grade Spiritual Stones.
This made Wang Chaosong feel like he was in a dream.
Wang Chaosong returned to his senses, casting a grateful look at Lin Feng. He suddenly recalled Lin Fengâs previous statement that even Ancestor Level beings had to queue and offer compensation of Laws for his help in stone cutting. Could it be true?
Though it seemed unbelievable, a part of Wang Chaosongâs heart began to believe Lin Fengâs words.
Lin Feng gestured for Wang Chaosong to continue cutting the second stone material. Wang Chaosong took a deep breath, clutching the Stone Cutting Blade, and began to carefully cut the second stone material, as if afraid to accidentally damage the treasure inside. Seeing Wang Chaosong cautiously cutting the stone, many people felt speechless; was he being excessively careful?
Cutting one treasure out of three stone materials was already very lucky, could he expect to find a treasure in each stone?
âSomeone in the First Layer Courtyard cut out Purple Thunder Wood!â
This news quickly spread through the Stone Workshop in the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty, astonishing many upon hearing it.
Many cultivators rushed outside, intrigued by the Supreme Treasure like Purple Thunder Wood.
Itâs a dual attribute Supreme Treasure of thunder and wood, a fatal temptation for cultivators practicing Thunder and Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques.
The number of cultivators in the First Layer Courtyard kept increasing, with many wanting to discuss buying the Purple Thunder Wood from the cultivator who cut it out.
Only after coming out did they know the other party was cutting the second stone material.
A cultivator asked someone watching the excitement beside him, âDid that stone cutting cultivator pick the stone material himself? How could his luck be so sky-defying to cut out a treasure like Purple Thunder Wood in the low-level stone material area?â
The questioned cultivator replied, âHe didnât choose it; a young gentleman in white next to him did. The three pieces of stone materials cost three hundred Top-grade Spiritual Stones, and theyâve already profited massively.â
âBeing able to cut out a treasure like Purple Thunder Wood is simply ancestral virtue.â The cultivator said.
As soon as this cultivator finished speaking,
thick black mist rolled in from the depths.
âWhatâs happening?â
The cultivators on the outskirts couldnât see what was happening inside and anxiously questioned.
âSomething has come out againâŠâ
Deep inside, a cultivator loudly responded.
From the cracked stone material, black mist surged; it was what emerged from the Black Scale Stone.
Within the black mist, there was a mysterious black bone, shrouded in dense runes.
âMy goodness, itâs a demonic bone, and whatâs more, a rune-etched demonic bone, which must record ancient Divine Skills!â
Many people exclaimed in disbelief; out of three stone materials, two treasures emerged from the first two.
