Chapter 138 Luck collapses
Within the mines of the Sun Moon Sect in Beidi City.
Amidst the constant jeers, mockery, and sighs of regret from those around him, Li Lan remained calm.
He was glad that he reacted quickly enough and managed to force out a mouthful of blood.
Right now, everyone just sees him as a useless person with little karma and a negligible fate. If he is completely unharmed, then in everyone's eyes he will probably be a monster, an oddball, and someone will definitely investigate the reason behind it.
It could lead to a lot of problems.
Therefore, the current situation is actually quite good for him!
"It really was just an ant..."
Xue Lianyuan looked at Li Lan and shook his head, saying, "You have lost your luck. Admit defeat now. I have no interest in fighting you."
But Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "Even if life is as worthless as grass, we should fight with all our might. How can we surrender without a fight? Please."
Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads.
"court death!"
"He has lost his luck now, and he is still so unaware of it!"
"I didn't die from the reversal of cause and effect, but I'm going to die from the Blood Origin Technique."
……
Even Cao Yueshu spoke up: "Young friend—"
He seemed apologetic as he said, "Your fortune was ruined because of my Sun Moon Sect. If you withdraw now, you will have no regrets. We will have no complaints!"
He spoke out of desperation, after all, the sect leader and the Grand Elder were right there, so how could he possibly speak?
However, he did feel pity for Li Lan. Li Lan had no luck, and continuing would only lead to his death.
But Li Lan smiled and said, "My luck has been broken, but today's battle concerns the future of the entire Immortal Realm. Can they really break the luck of the entire Immortal Realm? As long as the luck of the Immortal Realm is not destroyed, I still have the strength to fight!"
After saying that, he stepped into the mining area.
"Fine, if you want to die, then I'll grant your wish."
Blood Refining Source also quickly entered, and his Blood Source Technique was instantly released, covering a range of 100 meters around him. Wherever it passed, the primordial stones resonated.
Everyone looked grave; they all understood that Blood Refining Source must have already laid down a deadly move!
In the battle against the alien, if you choose the wrong gem, you will not only lose, but you will also be killed!
As always, Li Lan took out a copper coin and began testing it!
"I've made my choice!"
Before long, Blood Refining Source had swiftly selected three raw stones!
Li Lan, however, was still deliberating repeatedly, and had indeed lost his former decisiveness!
He seemed to deliberately avoid the area where Blood Refining Source had passed, and walked to a pavilion, picked up a swan stone, and then picked up a raw stone the size of a human head from a patch of grass.
"Pick these two pieces first, cut them open and see what they look like before picking the third one."
Li Lan spoke calmly.
Seeing this, everyone shook their heads, even the die-hard fans who had been following him for the past few days gave up.
Yesterday and the day before, Li Lan was so relaxed, picking out rough stones as if it were child's play. But now he's so conservative!
"Fine, I'll show you what Source Technique really is—"
Without hesitation, Xue Lianyuan picked up the stone knife and cut open the first piece of raw stone.
The area was filled with dazzling light and the aroma of medicinal herbs. A piece of blue alien source was cut out, and inside the source, there was half a piece of herb!
"Heavenly Star Grass!"
"Ancient medicinal herbs have long since disappeared, and their value is probably even greater than that of three-turn cordyceps!"
"No wonder it's a raw stone from a top-tier mining area!"
Everyone started to speak.
"It can be valued at five thousand catties of Immortal Essence!"
He Qianshan immediately spoke up.
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback; Blood Refining Source's move was truly extraordinary.
Meanwhile, Blood Refining Source continued to work, and the second piece of raw stone was cut open, bursting with five colors, which was extremely amazing. When the stone skin was completely peeled off, there was a different kind of source with all five colors!
"The Five-Colored Source!"
"It's a mutant source with all five colors... This can be considered the pinnacle of mutant sources!"
"Priceless!"
Everyone was envious!
Yesterday, Gu Shengtian cut out a piece of alien source containing three attributes, which caused a sensation in the world. Now, all five attributes are complete!
"The origin of the Five Elements..."
He Qianshan was somewhat surprised and immediately said, "This immortal source is worth eight thousand catties of immortal source!"
Eight thousand catties!
With just the first two raw stones, the Blood Refining Source had already yielded 13,000 jin, which was truly astonishing.
Blood Refining Source, however, did not stop. He smiled slightly, gently stroked the last piece of raw stone, glanced at Li Lan, and said, "Fine, there's no need to keep you in suspense."
If his opponent were a prodigy of Origin Arts like Gu Shengtian, he would stop his attack now, leaving suspense as a final shock and surprise. But against Li Lan... he would just crush him directly.
He shook his head, then immediately drew his knife!
He was incredibly careful, meticulous, and gentle with his knife, and finally, the stone blade made a slight cut...
A burst of purple divine light erupted, engulfing the entire mine like an ocean!
Everyone subconsciously took a deep breath, instantly feeling their pores open and their vital energy surge forth!
The protective array of the Sun and Moon Mine activated automatically!
"Divine Source?!"
Qi Ming and Gu Shengtian, along with other Source Warriors who came to watch the battle, were all extremely shocked.
Even powerful figures like Li Daoling and Zhu Donglai were moved at this moment!
This time, it is a true divine source that has emerged, not some inferior product like the Purple Heaven Alien Source!
"It's actually the Divine Source... Invincible!"
"Crushed to death, completely crushed to death! Not to mention that Zhan Yiyuan has lost all his luck, even if his Heavenly Mystery Coins were still useful, there's nothing he can do. In this world, what is more precious than Divine Source?!"
"To actually see the Divine Source today... How lucky!"
Everyone was filled with emotion!
Xue Lianyuan smiled, having deliberately released a slight aura of divine energy, and was quite pleased with the reactions of the crowd.
He used his Origin Technique, forming numerous hand seals to seal the divine Origin aura, causing the purple Origin Qi permeating the area to slowly dissipate.
Everyone's attention was focused on Xue Lianyuan, who had already taken out a fist-sized piece of purple divine source from the primordial stone!
The source energy contained within the divine source is worlds apart from that of ordinary immortal sources. The faint light it emits alone makes the Blood Refining Source appear as if it were a celestial being.
"Our Qin family is willing to buy this divine source for 30,000 catties of immortal essence!"
Suddenly, Fairy Lanxia spoke.
"The Zhu family is also interested in purchasing 35,000 catties of Immortal Essence. What does Young Master Xue think?"
Zhu Donglai followed closely behind!
Even Li Daoling was excited at this moment, and said, "Young Master Xue, my Li family can provide other treasures of creation to exchange with you!"
For a moment, everyone in the room had complicated expressions. It was as if the scene had turned into an auction, with various forces disregarding everything and starting to fight for the prize.
In fact, the Li, Zhu, and Qin families were allies of the pro-peace faction!
This fully demonstrates just how powerful the allure of the Divine Source truly is!
He Qianshan sighed and said, "It's been so many years since I've seen a divine source..."
"Divine Source is a creation of creation. With its assistance in breaking through barriers, the chance of becoming a great power can increase by 40%. If one wants to become a saint, the probability can be increased by 10% to 20%. Once one reaches the level of Immortal Saint, the desire for Divine Source becomes even greater..."
He explained the wonders and value of the divine source!
The Divine Source contains so much of the Great Dao's essence and the essence of heaven and earth that even an ordinary immortal could break through their cultivation level immediately after obtaining and absorbing it. Moreover, this substance is essential for creating great beings and immortal saints.
How could it not be priceless?
"If we take it to our bank for auction, it can fetch at least 50,000 catties of immortal essence!"
He gave a direct conclusion!
He Qianshan is a true authority in the field of antique appraisal, and no one doubts his judgment.
"Fifty thousand catties!"
"The Divine Source truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier Immortal Source!"
"A piece the size of a fist is already so priceless..."
Everyone was filled with emotion, their envy reaching its peak.
"Thank you all for your kindness, but I do not intend to sell this piece of divine blood."
Xue Lianyuan smiled slightly.
Divine resources are rare and hard to come by, so of course he wanted to keep them for himself!
Many people had complicated expressions. This is what makes strategic resources so rare; you can't buy them even if you want to!
"it's your turn."
Blood Refining Source sneered and looked at Li Lan.
Li Lan calmly picked up the stone knife and brought it down with a single stroke. His knife skills were still clumsy, and the knife broke through the skin, revealing the bottom of the first piece of raw stone. But inside... it was completely empty!
There was nothing there, only some remaining primordial energy.
"empty!"
"The luck of fighting against the alien source... has indeed been broken; there is no middle source at all!"
"The theory of destiny is truly mysterious and profound!"
There was a collective gasp of astonishment in the room.
Even though they knew that Li Lan's luck had been broken, everyone couldn't help but sigh when they saw that his original stone was empty.
Just a few days ago, Li Lan was in high spirits. Holding copper coins, he conquered those who doubted him, and even set a record of earning 20,000 resources in a single day yesterday.
But today, it has fallen from its pedestal and is nothing anymore.
"Hahaha……"
Li Daoling and the others laughed, mocking, "Child of Destiny, where's your Immortal Source? It's empty!"
Cao Yueshu, Mu Jianxian, and the others all sighed!
But Li Lan remained unfazed by the mockery. Calmly, he picked up his stone knife and cut open the second piece of raw stone.
The second swan stone shattered instantly. Surprisingly, this original stone was also hollow, with only a few traces of primordial energy remaining, which dissipated the moment it was cut open.
"The second one is empty too?"
"This guy's luck has gone from extremely good to extremely bad... He managed to get nothing from the rough stones in the Earth-grade mining area?"
"Yes, the raw stones in the No. 1 mine area are almost guaranteed to yield a source, it's just a matter of how much. He actually managed to get two stones out of the mine..."
Everyone marveled at this, now viewing Li Lan as a joke.
How glorious yesterday is now how laughable!
"Our luck has run out, we have indeed lost, is it fate?"
Cao Yueshu whispered.
"Elder Cao, can you bear the responsibility for what happened today?"
Changsun Jiuye asked in a cold voice!
Now that Li Lan is in trouble, having lost the stone gambling battle and having the Primordial Divine Source changed hands, she can shift the blame onto Cao Yueshu.
Upon hearing this, the wooden sword immortal frowned, disregarding that this was a matter within the Sun Moon Sect, and said, "Does Fellow Daoist Changsun mean that there is no other choice besides fighting the alien source today?"
"Or, if you were to choose the people, would you be able to win?"
Changsun Jiu was speechless.
The Wooden Sword Immortal was right; Li Lan was the only choice, and the outcome would be the same regardless of who made the decision.
From this perspective, Cao Yueshu should not be criticized too much.
"This is fate; there's no need to argue."
The leader of the Luo Yan sect spoke calmly, showing a hint of regret but maintaining her composure.
"Haha, Sect Leader Luo, Fellow Daoist Broken Sword, the Primordial Divine Source is now ours!"
Li Cangwu smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
He had made two preparations, but now it seems they were completely unnecessary!
The leader of the Luo Yan Sect said, "The Sun Moon Sect keeps its promise. The victor can search the mine at will, and we will not interfere again."
The Broken Sword Immortal nodded, turned around, and prepared to leave.
But at that moment, Li Lan suddenly said, "I still have a piece of raw stone that I haven't cut yet."
Upon hearing this, many people laughed and mocked.
"Aren't two empty pieces enough?"
"Heh, can't you save some face for yourself?"
"The combined source of the three Blood Refining Source Stones is nearly 100,000 catties of Immortal Source. What are you still dreaming about?"
Everyone felt that Li Lan's struggle was meaningless!
"How can we talk about destiny when the last piece of rough stone hasn't been cut yet!"
But Shangguan Xiaoxiao stepped forward and looked at Li Lan, saying, "Even if one's luck is bleak, one should face it head-on, without avoiding or fearing it; such a person is still a hero!"
She didn't believe Li Lan could turn things around, but she admired Li Lan's spirit of not giving up even in the face of despair!
Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
Seeing this, everyone frowned, but had no choice but to stop and wait.
"Hurry up, don't waste time!"
Li Daoling urged!
Li Lan said calmly, "I will not choose my third rough stone from the No. 1 mining area."
After saying that, he actually walked towards the Xuanzi mining area outside.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Are you crazy? The Earth-grade mines are all empty, why are you still heading towards the Mysterious-grade mines!"
"Wait a minute, this guy isn't even picky about the Xuan-level mines, is he going for the Huang-level ones?"
"Neuropathy!"
As the group followed Li Lan to the Huangzihao mining area, they all grumbled and complained, feeling that Li Lan was simply wasting his time!
After entering the Huangzihao mining area, Li Lan's eyes swept around and suddenly walked to the entrance of the Huangzihao mining area, where he picked up a pot of flowers!
Underneath this flowerpot... there's a raw stone!
This piece of raw stone is in the shape of a thin sheet. Obviously, someone just casually placed it here, and no one has paid any attention to it since!
"That's it?!"
"Hahaha... What wishful thinking!"
Even if you have incredible luck and manage to obtain the Divine Source, you still can't win!
Everyone shook their heads.
The raw stone in Li Lan's hand was only the size of a palm. What use could it be?
At this moment, a look of surprise flashed in Li Lan's eyes. His hands were trembling slightly. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Elder Cao, please help me activate the protective array here... all the arrays, activate them all!"
