"That's a good idea. I was just about to pick a few stones." Ling Xian thought about it.
"It is the Pavilion's honor."
Chi Liaoyuan grinned and extended his right hand, "Friend, please."
Hearing this, Ling Xian nodded at Zhang Chenglong and followed Chi Liaoyuan to the second floor.
In the main hall, there were some normal stones. He had seen them a long time ago and none of them were worthy of his attention.
When he arrived at the second floor, his eyes brightened.
Though he merely glanced at them, he had the inheritance of the Seeking Ghost Cultivator. Even though it was just one glance, he could tell how extraordinary these stones were.
"The first floor has normal stones. The second floor has the best of the Yang House."
Chi Liaoyuan smiled, "Friend, look around and pick whatever you want."
"Before I pick, let's talk business first."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "What business do you have with me?"
"Since you are so direct, then I won't beat around the bush."
Chi Liaoyuan erased his smile, "I want to show you a strange stone."
"What kind of stone?" Ling Xian's interest was piqued.
The Yang House was one of the seven Houses of the East Domain and was without a doubt a giant. Even grandmasters could be contacted by them.
Therefore, he was very curious what kind of stone could make Chi Liaoyuan find him.
"The Stone of Life and Death."
Chi Liaoyuan uttered out three words, "I'm sure you've heard of this stone."
"The Stone of Life and Death?"
Ling Xian's pupils constricted. He didn't think what Chi Liaoyuan wanted him to see was the legendary Stone of Life and Death.
This type of stone is rare in the world. Unlike most stones, you can only find out what is inside after you cut it open. There are only two types of things inside, life or death.
The former refers to great fortune. To encounter this kind of stone is a blessing from the heavens. Even the most powerful forces can benefit from it.
The Stone Chapter of the Grave Robber's Guide states that there was once a powerful force that acquired the Stone of Life and Death. Within a few decades, they became a top force!
This was enough to prove how shocking the Stone of Life and Death was.
As for the latter, it referred to peerless ominous beings.
For example, unbreakable curses and invincible corpses. In short, they were terrifying existences that were harmful but not beneficial.
This was also recorded in the Wondrous Stone Chapter. There was once a peak force that obtained a Wondrous Stone of Life and Death that contained great danger. In the end, this peak force was annihilated in just a moment.
After all, that was a top-notch force from more than 100,000 years ago. It was even stronger than the transcendental forces of this era.
However, they only lasted for a short while before they were completely annihilated. How unbelievable was this?
It was enough to prove how terrifying the great calamity of the Life and Death Wondrous Rock was!
Therefore, people named this stone the Life and Death Stone. It meant that once it is opened, it will either be life or death.
"The Extreme Yang House is very lucky to have acquired the rare Stone of Life and Death." Ling Xian grinned.
"Dao of good luck?"
Chi Liaoyuan smiled bitterly and said, "The higher-ups of the Extreme Yang Sect are worried sick."
"If that's the case, why not throw this hot potato out?"
Ling Xian chuckled. If he didn't have greed in his heart, the Stone of Life and Death wouldn't be a problem. To put it bluntly, it was because the Extreme Yang Sect was greedy for the peerless good fortune, but they were also afraid of the invincible great calamity, which was why they were worried.
"Ehem … ehem …" Chi Liaoyuan coughed drily, feeling a little awkward.
"Okay, let's get back to business."
Ling Xian wiped off his smile and said, "Why me? With the Extreme Yang House's capabilities, they can even find the most influential people of the Strange Stone World. "
"That's right. But the Extreme Yang House has already asked them to check it out. Nobody can tell if it's a good fortune or a great calamity." Chi Liaoyuan bitterly smiled.
"If that's the case, then there's even less of a need to find me."
Ling Xian said softly, "Even the most influential people of the Strange Stone World cannot tell, how can I tell?"
"My instinct tells me that you have the ability," Chi Liaoyuan said in a low voice.
"You believe in something so vague?" Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled.
"Then the stone with the Buddha's Lotus Seat can prove it, right?"
"I remember that strange stone. It was far too extravagant. But in the end, the master of the Extreme Yang House determined that it was a useless stone."
"Yet you can tell that it is extraordinary. This is enough to prove that you are unique."
Chi Liaoyuan's eyes were shining, "Therefore, I want to ask you to help."
"You are flattering me. I was merely lucky." Ling Xian waved his hand, not wanting to help.
Even though he was very interested in the legendary Stone of Life and Death, it was far too dangerous. Once a great calamity appears, nobody can survive.
Even though he had the Golden Armor, he had no confidence.
"Friend, do not worry. If you are not confident, the Extreme Yang House will not open it."
Chi Liaoyuan continued, "If you are willing to make a trip, you can pick any stone you want."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was a little tempted.
For one, he really wanted to see the legendary Stone of Life and Death. For two, Chi Liaoyuan's rewards were very generous.
"Friend, just say yes. It's just a trip, there won't be any danger," Chi Liaoyuan said earnestly.
"If it's just for me to take a look, then I can go," Ling Xian said in a low voice.
Chi Liaoyuan was right. It's just for a look, there won't be any danger.
"Haha, alright. With you here, I believe you can give the Extreme Yang House an answer." Chi Liaoyuan laughed brightly.
"Don't have too high of an expectation. I am not confident myself."
Ling Xian brandished his hand. The Stone of Life and Death was mysterious and unpredictable. Therefore, even though he had the Gold Testing Hand, he wasn't confident.
"Friend, you are being too humble. I believe you have your own unique skills."
Chi Liaoyuan smiled, "Then it's a deal. Please pick your stone."
"Okay."
Ling Xian faintly grinned and pointed at a strange red stone, "Let's go with that."
"You're not going to take a closer look?" Chi Liaoyuan was startled. He didn't think Ling Xian would be so careless.
"There's no need. The appearance of this stone has already proven that it is a heavenly treasure." Ling Xian brandished his hand.
"You can tell from its appearance?"
Chi Liaoyuan's eyes flashed with strangeness. He didn't know much about stones, but he knew that even techniques may not be accurate, let alone experience.
"Only a few stones can."
Ling Xian spoke softly and placed the red stone into his sleeve. He had no intention of opening it.
This surprised Chi Liaoyuan, "Why aren't you opening it?"
"I am afraid you will regret it." Ling Xian smiled.
In the entire second level, the price of this stone is not the highest. But the heavenly treasure it contains is definitely the most valuable.
Of course, it wasn't just that he was afraid Chi Liaoyuan would regret it. The most important reason was that he cannot open this stone right now.
"You are joking. Since I have made up my mind, why would I regret it?" Chi Liaoyuan said.
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled but didn't say anything.
This stone cannot be opened right now. Or else the heavenly treasure inside will be greatly reduced.
At this, Chi Liaoyuan was curious, but he didn't say anything. He said, "Since you have made your choice, then follow me to the Extreme Yang House."
"Lead the way." Ling Xian's eyes flashed with anticipation.
The Stone of Life and Death was an extremely rare existence. Most people don't even get the chance to see one in their entire lifetime.
Now that he had this opportunity, he naturally had high expectations.
