Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven

Chapter 1948 - 1939: Get Out of My Sight

"Everyone, this object is sturdy and hard to cut open for the moment. How about we take it outside first and then discuss how to extract the Xuanlong Liquid?" Someone suggested, after the group came to no conclusion.

Quickly, someone nodded and said, "I agree. Since that’s the case, Brother Qin and I discovered this boulder first, so why don’t we take it and then, once things are settled, you can come to the Zhang Family to discuss the distribution?"

But his words were soon opposed. A young man in a green shirt snorted coldly and said, "Why should you take it? The stone contains Xuanlong Liquid, which is an extremely rare treasure. Who can guarantee you won’t keep it for yourselves?"

"Since Brother Li doesn’t trust the two of us, there’s nothing more to say. In that case, propose a solution, or everyone will just waste time here," the man from the Zhang Family said.

"Let’s cut it open on the spot. We can distribute it right here and now," suggested a young and beautiful woman.

It was clear to everyone that Xuanlong Liquid was not only rare but also extremely valuable. They couldn’t let these two from the Zhang Family take it; otherwise, if they refused to acknowledge it later, it would just make things more troublesome.

"Easy to say. The stone is extraordinarily tough, like Divine Iron. Even a Supreme Divine Weapon might not be able to make a dent. How do you plan to cut it open?"

"Given us few people, it’s indeed difficult to cut open this boulder. I suggest we take it out first and let the Elders find a solution."

"I’ve seen such a stone before years ago, it’s an alien object, and external force is difficult to cut it open forcibly. It requires some special methods. My Lingxin Sacred Land once obtained a stone like this. Although it was much smaller, we successfully cut it open. If you trust me, why not let me take it back first?" A woman in pink attire suggested.

Her name was Liu Yao, the Saintess of Lingxin Sacred Land in Quzhou. In terms of identity and status, she was much higher than anyone present here.

"Oh?"

"Is what the Immortal says true?"

The crowd was surprised, obviously not expecting Lingxin Sacred Land to have ever acquired such a stone.

Moreover, given Liu Yao’s identity as the Lingxin Saintess, and the matter concerning Lingxin Sacred Land’s reputation, she wouldn’t lie about such a thing to deceive everyone.

"Of course."

Liu Yao nodded and continued, "My Lingxin Sacred Land has the means to cut this stone open."

The group fell silent, but someone soon said, "I think we can let Fairy Liu keep this stone."

"If Lingxin Sacred Land indeed has a way, I agree," someone echoed.

Clearly, continuing to delay here was not a good idea and given the high temperature in this cave, even with their cultivation levels, they probably couldn’t hold on much longer.

But if they handled this stone hastily, plainly no one was willing.

So, they could only leave it to Liu Yao.

After all, given her identity as the Lingxin Saintess, in front of so many people, she couldn’t possibly play tricks later, right?

But soon, someone couldn’t help but speak up again.

A young man in coarse clothing said, "You all come from major families or Ancient Sacred Lands, no matter how you discuss the distribution of the Xuanlong Liquid, I just want to ask one thing, will we loose cultivators get a share?"

His words immediately stunned many of those present.

Apart from him, the other loose cultivators present also realized this point.

Clearly, as independent practitioners, they didn’t have strong backgrounds or backing.

If the disciples of these great forces didn’t share the Xuanlong Liquid with them, they obviously had no power to change that.

So, before this stone was taken away, this matter had to be settled.

Otherwise, if it reached the outside, those without backing would truly have no say.

"Heh, you loose cultivators, typically lazy and arrogant, relying on having no concerns or worries, often oppose us, and now you expect to get a share of the Xuanlong Liquid?"

"Exactly, you won’t even get a drop of this Xuanlong Liquid."

The disciples of the various forces stood up one after another, their eyes fixed on the few independent practitioners present.

Clearly, since there was only so much Xuanlong Liquid, adding one more participant in the distribution meant their own share would be reduced.

"If that’s the case, then no one will take this boulder away today."

A few people snorted coldly, stepping forward one after another. Without a share of the Xuanlong Liquid, it was something they absolutely couldn’t accept.

Though they were usually independent practitioners, now, for their interests, they had no choice but to stand together, huddle for warmth.

At least for now, there’s no way they could let these disciples from various forces easily take the stone away.

"Such arrogance, just you few people wanting to block us?" The man from the Zhang Family sneered.

Though these independent practitioners were not weak in cultivation, they were few in number, totaling only about five or six people.

On the other hand, the disciples from various forces numbered in the teens. If a fight broke out, these independent practitioners would certainly not gain any advantage.

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely tense.

The two sides formed their own groups, standing against each other, tensions high, seemingly ready for a fight at any moment.

But soon, someone noticed among these two groups, there stood a conspicuous young man in white.

Mo Wangchen.

Currently, his position was somewhat awkward.

Because he was standing right in the middle of the two groups.

"Friend, which side are you on?" came a voice from the direction of the independent cultivators.

The Zhang Family man narrowed his eyes, "You should think clearly."

Although they didn’t sense a particularly strong aura from Mo Wangchen, given the current situation, attracting another person would naturally be a good thing.

All eyes immediately fell on Mo Wangchen.

But they saw him standing there silently, and after a few moments, Mo Wangchen suddenly smiled and said, "Don’t bother fighting over this stone..."

Before he finished, someone couldn’t help but sneer, and the Zhang Family man scoffed, "What? Do you want to be the mediator?"

"Don’t misunderstand."

Mo Wangchen shook his head, "I mean, this stone is not for you to fight over. I’ll take it by myself."

"You?"

"Ridiculous!"

"Just you?"

His words clearly stunned everyone, and after a moment, they reacted, unable to hold back their laughter, while their faces were full of disdain and contempt.

"I thought you were a rational mediator, turns out you’re just a brainless kid."

The Zhang Family man sneered, then took two steps forward, looking down at Mo Wangchen, "I’ll give you ten breaths to get out of my sight."
