"The five-orifice stone man has a heart inside. Although this heart is good, why is there water around it?"
Feng Qingyang was surprised. Generally, after cutting into an ancient stone, the inside should be stone, or a special material. Only in this way can the essence inside be preserved and not lost.
But this human face stone is different from ordinary ones. It has five facial features, and the stone core inside is actually in clear water.
And this clear water seemed unusual. Feng Qingyang's heart was beating. He withdrew his hand, and just as his fingernails withdrew the fire from the stone, the original cracks on it healed instantly, as if it was natural, and there was no trace left.
"Qingyang, what's going on?" Seeing Feng Qingyang suddenly stop, the Holy Prince and the old monkey asked at the same time. Although they had strong cultivation, they were completely confused when it came to the art of stone cutting.
"This human face stone is a bit strange. It is different from ordinary cut stones. There is a pool of clear water inside, and the heart of the stone is in the clear water. If it were clear water, I really don't know how to cut it."
He paused and continued, "Unless you use great mana to refine it bit by bit, from the outside to the inside, and prepare a jade bowl made of ten thousand year old cold jade to catch it, otherwise the essence inside will be lost."
These words left the Holy Prince completely confused. He looked at Feng Qingyang in confusion, while the old monkey next to him looked thoughtful.
"I do have a jade bowl, but the clear water in it should be Taiyi water." The old monkey said in a deep voice.
"Water of Taiyi?" Feng Qingyang was shocked and looked at the old monkey with surprise on his face.
If it really is the Water of Taiyi, then you have found a treasure. The Water of Taiyi is similar to the Water of Creation, but the effects are different. The Water of Taiyi is a complete elixir that can increase your cultivation level.
It is something you can only encounter by chance and is extremely rare in the world. Ordinary people may never find it in their entire life. Unexpectedly, they have encountered it now.
“In that case, I will cut it open, but if we want to preserve the essence inside, it depends on you, senior.” Feng Qingyang’s heart was beating fast, and he secretly thought that his luck had finally turned.
No matter how much of this Taiyi water he could get, even just one drop, it would benefit him. Moreover, there were at least two bowls of clear water in this strange rock. Even if he just took a sip, he would be satisfied.
"Okay." After the old monkey finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and suddenly a jade pot appeared. Looking at the jade pot, Feng Qingyang raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much.
Instead, his nails stretched out, and the unique aura of a stone-cutting master instantly emanated. In just a short moment, the stone was completely covered.
"Senior, get ready." Feng Qingyang said in a low voice, but when he saw the old monkey nodded, he no longer hesitated. Things had come to this point and there was no time for him to wait.
He moved on the spot, and his big hands formed a bunch of finger flowers in the void. An inexplicable force of rules appeared, and he drew a line forward, and a ray of light instantly swung out.
Wow wow wow…
There was a sudden rustling sound in the air; it was the sound of him slowly cutting open the surface of the stone.
This strange stone with a human face looks weird, but it is extremely fragile and cannot vibrate. They didn't know its value before and smashed it to the ground with a bang. Fortunately, they didn't break it.
Otherwise, he would regret it to death. Now, Feng Qingyang was controlling it carefully. First, he could not vibrate it, and second, he could not act too hastily.
If you want to open it, you must cut the stone at a gentle pace, and open it at the last moment when you put away the knife.
In other words, he could only peel it layer by layer like peeling a fruit, and could not cut it directly, otherwise it would cause vibration, and at the moment of vibration, the stone core inside would change, but he had no idea what exactly the change would be.
The fingers spun in the air, and with every movement, countless stone fragments floated into the void. As the fragments dissipated, an incomparably rich and sweet scent wafted over.
"That's right, it's right. This is definitely the water of Taiyi. Only the water of Taiyi has such an aura." The old monkey's face was full of joy and his heart was burning with excitement. He wished he could get it out immediately.
But seeing Feng Qingyang's expression, he had to suppress his restless heart and wait patiently for him to slowly cut the stone.
"Nine Palaces Locking Stone Formation!" Feng Qingyang shouted again. This time, he no longer stood still, but began to walk. There were inexplicable steps under his feet, but looking at the path he took, it was closely related to the Nine Palaces.
Nine Palaces Locking Stone is also a technique in stone cutting. By cutting the stone according to the Nine Palaces, the stone can be locked firmly in it, thus avoiding accidents to a minimum.
Not only do your feet have to step into the Nine Palaces, but you also have to do the same when you get injured. Every swing has fixed moves and you can't be careless. If there is even a slight difference, an accident will occur.
"Nine Palace Locking Stone Formation, this kid actually knows how to set up a formation. Hasn't the art of formation been lost long ago? How could he know it? Does he have a legacy of the art of formation?" The old monkey had a suspicious look on his face, but he didn't show any greed.
Feng Qingyang naturally noticed these details. If the old monkey had shown a little greed just now, he would definitely destroy the five-orifice stone man in an instant.
After seeing that he had no strange expression, Feng Qingyang focused his mind again and started cutting stones seriously.
"The art of stone cutting has a long history, and it has existed since ancient times. The first generation of stone cutting masters in your time could be said to have cut everything in the world. It is rumored that there are some strange stones hidden in the void. Once the stone cutting master opens his eyes, he can lock onto them and cut them with a simple swing."
Feng Qingyang recited silently in his heart, but his movements became faster and faster. Then, countless debris began to fly, and at the same time, the sweet aroma became more intense.
"Senior, get ready, I'm going to cut it open." Feng Qingyang reminded.
After saying that, the speed of his hands increased again, and gradually, a ray of light came out from it, like the sun, extremely bright and dazzling.
"Open!" Feng Qingyang shouted, and the light in his hand became more intense. As it spread, it immediately covered the stones in the air completely.
At this moment, the originally clear sky suddenly began to change, and bursts of muffled thunder suddenly came from above the waterfall.
"A strange phenomenon has occurred in the sky. The stone has not even been cut yet, but it has already undergone such changes. It seems that the things inside are indeed not ordinary." The old monkey looked nervous. He had already believed Feng Qingyang's words and his judgment.
"However, this vision seems to want to destroy this divine object." The old monkey muttered to himself, looking up at the dark clouds above, his heart slightly silent.
Suddenly, he flew up with a whoosh, and a big stick appeared in his hand. Although he looked old, at this moment, the aura he exuded was unparalleled.
"If you want to destroy the sacred object, you have to see if I agree first."
