This is also an important reason why the holy site has stone archways.
After putting away the jade bottle, the old Taoist nun immediately sealed off the space, and a transparent light curtain enveloped the stone garden.
This was both to prevent the treasures cut from the stone from escaping and to prevent any ominous objects from being cut out, just in case.
Master Yuan began cutting the stone, his movements were very gentle, and his speed was very, very slow.
The silver knife slid down, and the stone skin was slowly peeled away. He moved very slowly, as if afraid of damaging something, and was extremely careful.
"Crack!"
When the final cut was made, the entire rock cracked on its own, revealing a cocoon-like object, no more than an inch long and half an inch thick.
It was dark gold in color, shimmering and glowing; it was actually a metal cocoon, and no one knew what it contained, giving people a very special feeling.
"This thing originated from the space between the eyebrows of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man, but what exactly is it?!"
At that moment, the dark golden metal cocoon attracted everyone's attention.
Lin Yi reached out with his right hand, his palm and fingers like jade, and grabbed at the metal cocoon. The void was locked, and all around was silent.
"Snap!"
The dark golden metal cocoon turned to dust, and a black sword beam shot straight up. The chilling killing intent made people tremble in their souls, and the bone-chilling killing aura was awe-inspiring!
"Clang clang clang!"
The dark light shot out like bolts of lightning, weaving together a terrifying black storm that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Lin Yi coldly snorted, flipped his hand, and his aura became vast and boundless.
The heavens and earth were shrouded in darkness, seemingly about to shatter completely with the force of this palm strike, returning to chaos and nothingness.
The dark light dissipated, transforming into a small black sword no more than an inch long, which Lin Yi put away.
All the strange phenomena disappeared, and Lin Yi left gracefully, leaving behind a garden full of shocked people.
The old Taoist nun muttered to herself, "A King of Slaying the Dao, such a figure has appeared? The era of the Holy Lord's dominance is coming to an end."
After leaving Dao Yi Stone Archway, Lin Yi inquired around and headed towards the stone archway opened by the Ji family, an ancient and powerful clan.
Although he knew there were many good things in Dao Yi Stone Workshop, he was not proficient in the Origin Technique and could not identify them at all. The fragments of his memories were also very blurry, so he had to give up.
Longma, reflecting on his recent experience, said, "Uncle Long, I also want to gamble on stones."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "How about I borrow a King of Herbs and price it by its source, nine parts out and thirteen parts back?"
Longma didn't understand what kind of loan this was. After Lin Yi explained it to it, it finally understood. This was even bigger than Grandpa Long's mouth!
The Ji Family Stone Archway covers a vast area, stretching as far as the eye can see, resembling a royal garden. Stepping inside, one is greeted by a profusion of strangely shaped rocks, lush trees, flowing streams, and charming scenery.
The numerous stones are naturally piled up, and each stone garden has its own unique scenery.
Some stone gardens are shrouded in mist, resembling a water town in the south; others have swaying maple trees, like red leaves frosting in the north.
Lin Yi and Longma strode through the stone garden, advancing through eighteen levels without stopping, continuing towards the deepest part.
Before long, they arrived at the deepest part of the stone archway. There was a lake there, its waters as blue as crystal, brimming with spiritual energy, and it was incredibly beautiful.
In the middle of the pale blue lake lies a small island, no more than a few hundred meters in circumference. Fallen petals adorn the trees, creating a shower of glistening, fragrant blossoms that ripple across the lake's surface.
The small island in the lake is the Ji family's top-tier stone garden, so beautiful it's like a divine land, almost like a dream.
The island is only a few hundred meters in circumference, but it is covered with flowering trees, many of which are ancient trees that are thousands of years old. They are as vigorous as dragons, with petals fluttering and sparkling, filling the air with fragrance.
The island is meticulously arranged, with bubbling springs, scattered strange rocks, and natural scenery, all accompanied by flowers and trees.
The one guarding this place was an old man with skin like a baby and hair as white as snow. He sat alone among the flowering trees, eyes closed and motionless, showing no reaction to the arrival of Lin Yi and Long Ma.
"Haha...we're not late, are we?"
Several elderly men hurried over; all with white hair and youthful faces, they were remarkably spry and frighteningly old. They were the same old men who had watched Lin Yi gamble on stones near Dao Yi Stone Archway.
These people are of great importance, coming from various religious sects. Most of them are nearing the end of their lives and are lingering in the various stone workshops of the Holy City in search of treasures that can prolong their lives. No one wants to provoke them.
Lin Yi's exchange of the Medicine King for rare stones at Dao Yi Stone Workshop was an incredibly exciting event for these people.
The existence of the first medicinal king does not preclude the existence of a second one. Even though they learned from the old Taoist nun that this was a king who had already severed his path, it could not stop their burning hearts.
When a person is on the verge of death, nothing in the world is truly frightening.

Chapter 276 Only Choose the Expensive Ones
♂? ，，
At this moment, a steward of the Ji family stone archway hurriedly disembarked from a small boat, walked quickly to the old man guarding the Tianzihao Stone Garden, and whispered something to him.
The old man, who had been sitting cross-legged among the flowering trees with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, a flash of divine light passing through them. He immediately stood up, took a step, and came to Lin Yi's side, saying, "Fellow Daoist, are you looking to choose a stone? The good things in my Ji Family Stone Workshop are no less than those in Dao Yi Stone Workshop. Please come in quickly."
Lin Yi nodded and strolled across the island. Under an ancient tree, he saw a strange rock shaped like a dragon's head, about the size of a millstone, lifelike, with a faint dragon aura swirling around it.
This stone is so unusual that even a normal person could see a hint of dragon energy in it.
This stone is naturally formed, not carved by human hands. It naturally became the dragon's head, making people marvel at the wonders of nature.
An old man squeezed through the crowd and said, "This dragon head stone is priced at 100,000 jin of raw materials. Are you interested? I'm willing to buy it for you, in exchange for a single medicinal herb."
