"What is the Dragon Head Stone? I would buy the Ji Family Stone Workshop's prized possession, the Peerless Beauty Stone, worth 150,000 jin of Yuan, just for a single King of Herbs."
Another elderly man with white hair said excitedly, immediately raising the value.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately understood that the value of the Medicine King was far greater than he had imagined. He felt he had been cheated when he traded a Medicine King for the Nine-Aperture Stone Man at Dao Yi Stone Workshop.
Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly, it didn't matter.
Having hollowed out nearly half of the Kunlun Immortal Valley, Lin Yi now possesses tens of thousands of medicinal king plants. It could be said that he is now so poor that all he has left are medicinal king plants.
What was cut out from the nine-aperture stone man was a black and gold sword with dragon patterns, ranking fifth and interwoven with the Dao and reason, which was just right to be the natal divine sword of his eldest disciple, Pan Yuze.
Several elderly people argued endlessly, and the price had already risen to allow them to choose any two rare stones at exorbitant prices.
The old man guarding the Ji family stone archway couldn't bear to watch any longer and said, "If you are willing to pay with the Medicine King, you can choose any three strange stones in the stone garden."
"Four pieces."
Everyone turned their attention to the entrance of the stone garden, where four middle-aged men wearing dragon crowns and exuding an aura of overwhelming power, like heavenly kings descending to earth, arrived together.
The Ji Family Stone Archway's top-tier stone garden was completely silent, leaving everyone stunned.
Several white-haired old men turned pale. Faced with someone with such a grand gesture, even the holy lands would probably be helpless.
"This is a great figure from Zhongzhou, an immortal ancient dynasty that rules over hundreds of millions of miles of land. He is indeed unparalleled."
"The Central Plains has four immortal dynasties, as well as the Hundred Schools of Thought and many ancient religions. From which ancient dynasty did they originate?"
"Judging from their dragon crowns and clothing, they must be from the immortal ancient Hua Dynasty, a dynasty with a long history and unparalleled prosperity!"
"They are definitely after Purple Mountain, aiming for the inheritance of the Great Emperor Wushi, and wanting to buy the Medicine King to save their lives."
As the crowd whispered among themselves, they deduced the identity of the newcomer and became even more wary. The immortal dynasty was even more powerful than the holy land, and few forces in the world could rival them.
In this world, divine medicines are nowhere to be found. Even the most sacred lands and ancient families cannot obtain them, and even dynasties that have endured for hundreds of thousands of years cannot be found.
When the old Holy Lord of the Eastern Wilderness and the old Emperor of the Central Continent were nearing the end of their lives, they both chose to appear in the Great Wilderness, just for that one in ten thousand hope, but no one has ever been heard of finding the divine medicine.
Perhaps, they can only be found in a few forbidden zones, but those are places that are beyond human reach.
"You may have forgotten one thing: the Medicine King is mine, and how to deal with him is not up to you to decide first."
Lin Yi spoke calmly, his powerful aura radiating outwards, causing everyone in the stone garden to change color.
Although they didn't sense any murderous intent, the feeling of being crushed by a mountain, the immense pressure, almost suffocated them.
The four emperors from the Ancient Hua Dynasty activated their secret techniques, their auras forming a unified whole, barely managing to withstand the pressure. They finally managed to speak, saying, "We are eager for the medicine, please forgive us, sir."
Lin Yi suppressed his aura, regained his composure, and said calmly, "I am Qingxuan, and I have come from beyond the stars. I still have a few of these herbs in my possession. I will not exchange them for anything other than a supreme treasure, a rare stone, or an ancient scripture."
"The Great King."
The old man from the Ji family guarding the stone archway shouted in disbelief. He controlled the magic array in the stone garden and was confident that he could withstand even the arrival of a king who had severed the Dao. However, the cruel reality gave him a rude awakening.
"The Ji family is willing to exchange any four unusual stones from the Stone Garden for a single herb. Please select the stones, sir."
The elder of the Ji family hurriedly added.
"Okay." Lin Yi did not refuse. He said to the dragon horse beside him, "I'll give you that dragon head stone."
"Hahaha, my opportunity is about to arrive, Grandpa Long."
Ryoma laughed heartily, completely disregarding his image.
"It depends on luck," Lin Yi said, continuing forward. He didn't remember if there were any treasures inside the dragon head stone; he'd find out after cutting it open.
Not far away, in a spiritual spring, there is a priceless stone with a bluish-brown color. The clear spring water rushes over it, producing a melodious sound, like a musical piece being played.
An elder from the Ji family explained, "This stone is extraordinary; it's called the Immortal Sound Stone. It produces melodious sounds when struck by water waves. It's truly exceptional and worth 80,000 jin of Yuan."
"The second one."
After selecting the second unusual stone, Lin Yi continued walking forward without stopping.
He has only one thought now: when choosing stones, he will only choose the expensive ones.
Ahead lay a sunny patch of land, barren of vegetation and extremely dry, with only a large, solitary rock, about the size of a tabletop, standing alone.
Lin Yi approached and was taken aback. There was a deep Bagua diagram imprinted on the stone.
"This stone is very special. Heaven and earth nurtured a Dao diagram, and it is worth 120,000 jin of Origin," said the elder of the Ji family.
"The third piece."
For the last piece, Lin Yi chose the prized possession of the Ji Family Stone Garden, the Peerless Beauty Stone.
This is a very large rock, more than two meters high, standing quietly beside the flowering tree. Fallen petals drift down, giving it an ethereal feel.
On this delicate stone, there is a picture of heaven and earth giving birth to life, the outline of which is the head of a beautiful woman. Although it is not clear, it gives people a sense of infinite etherealness, and it must be a peerless beauty.
After selecting four priceless stones, Lin Yi took out a king of herbs and handed it to the old man of the Ji family, saying, "Cut the stone."
"Excuse me, sir, which piece should we cut first?" Master Yuan, the middle-aged man in charge of the Ji family's top-tier stone garden, asked excitedly.
Lin Yi's voice came through, saying, "Start cutting from the most expensive one."
The "Peerless Beauty Stone" was quickly cut open, revealing a hollow interior. Nothing was extracted except for a pile of stone dust.
Subsequently, the Bagua diagram stone was completely peeled away, and there was nothing there either.
