Asura Emperor Venerable

Chapter 1112: Rising Before the Fall



"Hahaha, just kidding." Shi Hao laughed, then looked at Zhao Youyi, "Can I take away whatever I win or discover?"

Zhao Youyi weighed it for a moment, and finally nodded, "Yes."

She didn't believe Shi Hao could find another Blood Shadow Heavenly Stone; otherwise, even if she saved the Raw Stone Shop's business, her family would punish her.

It's too precious!

The Blood Shadow Heavenly Stone is a treasure that can tempt even the Golden Immortals, so valuable it's immeasurable by Immortal Stones.

"This time, you guys won't have a whole day." Zhao Youyi said, "You both have already examined them before, so I'm giving you ten breaths to make a choice."

"Alright!"

"Okay."

Both Shi Hao and Liu Huafeng nodded, especially Liu Huafeng who thought this was conveniently aiding him.

—With his memory, and in such a short time, he had a ledger in his mind about the approximate value of each raw stone.

And Shi Hao?

Still relying on luck?

Hehe.

"Let's begin." Zhao Youyi waved a hand and started timing.

Shi Hao and Liu Huafeng each made a move, quickly choosing a raw stone.

"Alright, start dissolving the stones."

Both of them began dissolving their stones. Knowing Shi Hao was a novice, Liu Huafeng purposely slowed down, intending to reveal his find at the same time as Shi Hao, to create a more impactful comparison.

However, while Shi Hao was indeed a novice, his insight was exceptionally high, and each experience made him progress significantly faster.

As soon as Liu Huafeng deliberately slowed to his previous pace, he naturally got left behind.

Damn.

Liu Huafeng quickly sped up, matching Shi Hao.

"It's yielding."

"Both sides."

"Liu Huafeng has found an Immortal Elixir again. Although it's somewhat damaged, it's still considered complete."

"And this guy… huh, what's the other guy's name?"

"Don't know."

"No matter, he's also found an Immortal Elixir, huh, and it's quite complete too."

As it stood, Shi Hao and Liu Huafeng were neck and neck, with the parts they had uncovered being very intact, leaving more to be revealed.

In the raw stone, more of the Immortal Elixir was coming into view, but the two were in an opposite position.

—Shi Hao was working from the root to the head of the Immortal Elixir, while Liu Huafeng was cutting from the head to the root.

Now, Shi Hao only had the head left to uncover, while Liu Huafeng had the root remaining.

"I know, Liu Huafeng's Immortal Elixir is called Sea Dragon Root, a Bright Jade-level Immortal Elixir!" someone suddenly shouted.

What!

Everyone was in disbelief.

To find a Bright Jade-level Immortal Elixir, neither the Zhao Family, Qian Family, nor the Taibai Sect could keep such an elixir and would have to present it to Mirror Lake Country. Otherwise, it would be a grave offense, potentially leading to disaster.

There's nothing to be done when everyone witnessed this scene; it couldn't be hidden.

Even more surprising was that such a precious Immortal Elixir could be found from the Zhao Family's raw stones, which was an event unheard of in millennia!

This time, Liu Huafeng was sure to win.

If you don't count others, even Liu Huafeng himself didn't expect this. He was only drawn to this raw stone due to special soul perception, though it felt less attractive than his first choice.

Unexpectedly, he misjudged.

This is normal; even a Primordial Stone Master is only a hundred times sharper, not all-knowing.

Zhao Youyi was pale, stunned at Liu Huafeng's formidable skills. Worse yet, that was a Bright Jade-level Immortal Elixir found in front of everyone, and must be offered!

She would face severe family punishment. A Bright Jade-level Immortal Elixir, even if it couldn't bring forth a Jade Immortal from the Zhao Family, would still greatly propel them along the long journey of a Golden Immortal.

Now, lost because of her decision.

Liu Huafeng was immensely proud, first scanning around like a victorious lion surveying his pride, before continuing.

As Liu Huafeng skillfully used his professional Stone Dissolving Knife to cut, his expression suddenly changed color.

Within the raw stone, the root of the Immortal Elixir was exposed, but it was completely broken, gone!

"How could this be?"

"The effective part of the Sea Dragon Root is the root. Without the root, it's barely a Bronze-level Immortal Elixir, let alone Bright Jade-level."

"Is this a case of joy turning to sorrow?"

The crowd sighed, while Liu Huafeng was shivering all over, chilled to the bone.

Qian Mo felt like mourning too. What was happening?

Clearly, they had victory in hand, so why such a dramatic reversal?

Zhao Youyi felt as if she had escaped death, relieved enough to show a smile.

Wonderful!

Now, not only was the business saved, but this was merely a Bronze-level Immortal Elixir; even if handed over, the family wouldn't suffer much loss and naturally couldn't blame her anymore.

Shi Hao also finished his final stone dissolution, revealing the complete head of an Immortal Elixir.

Perfect and intact.

This is a Silver Spirit-level Bright Pine Grass, and being whole, its value naturally overshadowed the now Bronze-level Sea Dragon Root.

The outcome was reversed.

Qian Mo immediately swept off with his sleeves, turning to leave.

Liu Huafeng, having repeatedly hit the wall here, couldn't act further according to the Primordial Stone Master's rules.

So to him, Liu Huafeng was as good as trash.

Why would he keep fawning on others?

No way!

Liu Huafeng still couldn't recover from the great shock. No wonder his first impression was that the first raw stone was more precious; the second ended up like this!

He startledly looked at Shi Hao. Once might be a fluke, but twice wasn't luck; it was a show of strength.

He was a decisive person. He directly extended his left hand, then used the Stone Dissolving Knife to chop it off.

Swoosh, blood splattered, and Liu Huafeng severed his own left hand.

He didn't care, bending one knee towards Shi Hao, saying, "I am Liu Huafeng, wishing to become a disciple of Master!"

If he didn't sever his hand first, Shi Hao would surely look down on him greatly.

But after such a cut, Shi Hao had begun to admire him slightly.

"I can't teach you," Shi Hao said truthfully, "Without the Little Star Universe, you can't learn my method, but I suggest you stay here and hold the fort," indicating Zhao Youyi.

"The Zhao Family certainly welcomes Master Liu," Zhao Youyi said quickly. Although Liu Huafeng lost to Shi Hao, it was twice, he undeniably won against Li Yuan.

If the Zhao Family could bring Liu Huafeng in, it'd be a step forward.

This would also be to her credit.

—The severed hand didn't affect his skills, plus, the Zhao Family could provide regrowth Immortal Elixirs, securing Liu Huafeng's loyalty further.

Of course, pity they couldn't recruit Shi Hao, that would be even better.

Liu Huafeng hesitated for a moment, then saluted Zhao Youyi with one hand, "From now on, I will trouble Miss Zhao to look after me."
