CHAPTER 290: CHAPTER 275: WU MENG SPIRIT ESSENCE IN THE STONE!

The Lu Fu Star Domain is not far from the Padero Star Domain, with teleport points between them. Wang Xu spent only a few days to arrive at the Lu Fu Star Domain.

"There are many Wu Meng Warriors here, most likely for this auction."

Walking along the street, Wang Xu wandered forward with Ai’ai, as many powerful entities exuding strong auras skimmed through the sky, with several War God Level warriors among them.

After several days in the Lu Fu Star Domain, Wang Xu understood that the organizer of this auction was not a power from the Lu Fu Star Domain but a superpower from the Central Star Domain called the "Void Hall."

The Void Hall is akin to one of the three great powers of the Cosmos, with its economic network spreading throughout the entire Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos, omnipresent.

It is precisely because of this that the Void Hall can obtain a vast array of treasures: rare and unique, priceless... All treasures unattainable elsewhere will be presented at the auction.

This auction is held once every thirty thousand years, designated by the Void Hall to be held in a certain Star Domain, and is a grand event in the Western Regions.

Each time the auction is held, it attracts countless strong individuals, congregating almost all the powerful entities of the Western Regions, aiming to vie for rare Divine Level treasures at the auction.

......

Back at the hotel, Wang Xu saw Ai’ai still clutching that Star Origin Stone, something inside seemed to make Ai’ai show a very comfortable expression.

"Ai’ai, do you know what’s inside?" Wang Xu asked.

"I don’t know." Ai’ai shook her head honestly.

"Then why do you hold onto it every day without letting go, it’s just a stone." Wang Xu patted her head.

"Big brother, there’s something inside. I don’t know what it is, but as long as I’m near it, I feel particularly comfortable and happy," Ai’ai said truthfully.

There’s something inside the Star Origin Stone?

Wang Xu’s mind stirred. The Star Origin Stone is a special mineral that can conceal aura. Every Star Origin Stone might contain rare Ancient Ore, and if Ai’ai says there’s something inside, this Star Origin Stone must contain something extraordinary.

Moreover, Ai’ai is the Heart of Wu Meng; whatever attracts her must be unique!

"Ai’ai, do you want the thing inside? Big brother will help you take it out, okay?"

"Okay!" Ai’ai nodded obediently, handing the Star Origin Stone to Wang Xu.

Wang Xu brought his fingers together, and a sharp white light appeared at his fingertips.

"I really want to see what’s inside." Wang Xu had no experience in dissecting the Star Origin Stone, but he knew that haste could damage the Ancient Ore inside, drastically reducing its value.

Moreover, since this is something Ai’ai likes, Wang Xu needs to be even more careful in cutting it.

As stone dust fell from the Star Origin Stone, the sharp white glow at Wang Xu’s fingertips turned into a phantom, cutting back and forth on the Star Origin Stone. Each movement was extremely subtle, dissecting the stone with high-frequency cuts.

As the outer layer of the Star Origin Stone gradually decreased, Wang Xu began to slow down. Ai’ai was also nervous, her cheeks flushed, and her big crystal eyes stared intently at the Star Origin Stone, unblinking.

Whirr...

The white glow at his fingertips trembled, and a ray of light emerged from the crack in the Star Origin Stone. Wang Xu quickly stopped his hand.

"Such rich Life Qi!" Through the crack emanated a pure and thick Life Qi, and Wang Xu could feel that inside the Star Origin Stone, there was an even larger and more pure Life Qi!

This is an Ancient Ore brimming with Life Qi!

"Big brother, that’s it!" Ai’ai exclaimed excitedly, a hint of the emanating Life Qi making her feel an incredible sense of familiarity and comfort.

Wang Xu rotated the Star Origin Stone, dissecting it bit by bit along the previously cut crack.

With the boundary established, Wang Xu’s actions noticeably quickened, each time just enough to reveal a crack, letting the pure and rich Life Qi seep out, and then rotating the stone to continue dissecting.

Just like that, Wang Xu carefully spent three hours to finally reduce the head-sized Star Origin Stone to a fist-sized Stone of Life.

"This abundance of Life Qi is too much, it must be sealed in this space, otherwise the Life Qi would be sensed by all Wu Meng Warriors nearby." This Ancient Ore containing Life Qi isn’t simple, as can be seen from the rich Life Qi, and once discovered, it might cause unnecessary conflict.

Wang Xu waved his hand, invoking the Law of Void, immediately sealing the space of the entire room, even making the air sticky.

Retracting the sharp white light, Wang Xu gently inserted his thumbs into the crack and slowly peeled away the remaining layer of the Star Origin Stone.

Wow!

Soft light circulated like mist, and as the layer of the Star Origin Stone peeled away, a cluster of white with a hint of pale blue misty light was fully revealed before Wang Xu.

The white-blue mist swirled around Wang Xu’s fingertips as rich and pure Life Qi was released. With just a gentle breath, Wang Xu felt himself enveloped in warmth, his cells jubilant, bones humming, muscles and blood all ablaze!

Transcendence!

These two words emerged in Wang Xu’s mind.

Like a complete transformation, Wang Xu felt his Life Level undergoing a metamorphosis!

Wang Xu’s body trembled, and after clearly sensing the changes inside his body, his eyes began to tremble.

"This... could it be..." Wang Xu’s face gradually revealed a look of wild joy, "That’s right! Absolutely right! This is Wu Meng Spirit Essence, capable of transforming life levels, it’s truly Wu Meng Spirit Essence!"

Wang Xu could hardly contain his excitement, suddenly standing up, his eyes blazing as he stared at the white and blue light orb in his hand, his palm trembling slightly.

Wu Meng Spirit Essence, a rare treasure that countless Wu Meng Warriors would go crazy for, willing to risk their lives to fight for it.

Unexpectedly, it was acquired so easily!

Wang Xu wanted to laugh out loud at the sky but forcibly restrained the impulse. Wu Meng Spirit Essence is a treasure that must not be easily exposed, especially in the current situation where the strong gather, it must be kept even more tightly hidden.

"Big brother..." Ai’ai pitifully tugged at Wang Xu’s clothes, her eyes lingering on the Wu Meng Spirit Essence, pulling Wang Xu from his ecstatic reverie of obtaining the Wu Meng Spirit Essence.

Right, it was Ai’ai who discovered this Wu Meng Spirit Essence, she could clearly sense its presence... doesn’t this mean that in the future, whenever Wu Meng Spirit Essence appears, Ai’ai will be able to fully sense it?

"Ai’ai, this is for you." Wang Xu handed the Wu Meng Spirit Essence to Ai’ai, who hugged it gleefully, so happy that her eyes couldn’t open.

Wang Xu took a deep breath, just a piece of Wu Meng Spirit Essence, it’s nothing, with Ai’ai here, no amount of Wu Meng Spirit Essence is beyond reach!

Ai’ai is like a living Wu Meng Spirit Essence detector, being the Heart of Wu Meng, she has a natural affinity and keen perception for Wu Meng Spirit Essence, which is beyond anyone’s reach.

"Ai’ai, if you ever find this kind of stone again, tell your big brother, okay?"

"Okay!" Ai’ai nodded obediently, her little face pressed against the Wu Meng Spirit Essence, giggling joyfully.

......

The next day, Wang Xu and Ai’ai headed straight for the trading market in the Lu Fu Star Domain.

The trading market here was not as bustling as the Padero Star Domain, but now, due to the auction, it was extraordinarily busy.

Wearing Mechanical Warriors, Wang Xu and Ai’ai concealed their auras and faces, strolling in the trading market.

"Ai’ai, feel carefully, see if there’s any stone like the one from yesterday." Wang Xu transmitted his words.

Ai’ai’s big eyes seriously scanned around, Wang Xu had deliberately asked Ai’ai to put away the Wu Meng Spirit Essence to avoid exposing it.

A moment later.

"Big brother, that stone, I want that one!" Ai’ai’s eyes suddenly lit up, her little finger pointing at a human-height Star Origin Stone.

This human-height Star Origin Stone stood out among the pile of stones, being one of the largest, and at the same time, many Wu Meng Warriors gathered around this Star Origin Stone stall, watching others dissect it.

Seeing Ai’ai’s eager expression, Wang Xu was delighted, if this Star Origin Stone was so large, wouldn’t the Wu Meng Spirit Essence contained within be excessively large as well?

"Owner, I want that Star Origin Stone." Wang Xu stepped forward, directly pointing at the human-height Star Origin Stone.

The surrounding Wu Meng Warriors, who were watching the dissection, turned their eyes, and when they saw it was the "Stone King" of the entire stall that Wang Xu pointed at, their curiosity couldn’t help but pique.

"That person actually wants to gamble on the Stone King?"

"Haha, today is truly lucky, to see someone gamble on the Stone King!"

"I must watch carefully to see what the Stone King holds!"

Many Wu Meng Warriors gathered, their interest stirred by the Stone King.

"Alright, customer, please wait a moment while I finish dissecting this Star Origin Stone." The owner was busy dissecting a Star Origin Stone as thick as an arm, and as he spoke, the stone debris scattered, revealing a hint of crimson.

"A treasure! A treasure!" A Wu Meng Warrior shouted.

Immediately, many Wu Meng Warriors gathered around again, even Wang Xu looked over curiously.

The Wu Meng Warrior who purchased the Star Origin Stone stared at it, looking somewhat excited. Gambling on stones is about thrills, this moment of highs and lows is far more exhilarating than fighting.

"It’s revealed! Flame Red Jade, judging by its size and quality, it’s worth 1.2 million Wu Meng Crystals!"

An experienced Wu Meng Warrior quickly assessed the value of the Flame Red Jade. As soon as he spoke, many Wu Meng Warriors immediately expressed their desire to buy it.

The Wu Meng Warrior who got the Flame Red Jade was very satisfied with the price and immediately decided to auction it on the spot, selling it to whoever bid the highest.

"Owner, can you sell me that Star Origin Stone?" Wang Xu asked.

The owner then realized and hastily said, "Customer, I’ve had this Stone King for sixty thousand years, and no one has dared to try it. I admire your courage to be the first, but it will cost 88 million Cosmic Crystals, are you willing?"

"No problem, deal."

To the owner’s surprise, Wang Xu agreed without hesitation, directly tossing out a Space Ring, not even bothering to bargain.

"Let’s go!" Taking the Stone King, Wang Xu turned to leave, disappointing many Wu Meng Warriors who wanted a peek at the Stone King’s splendor.

"The Stone King... within the Stone King lies Wu Meng Spirit Essence, this piece of Wu Meng Spirit Essence is enough to raise my Life Index to a Celestial God Realm level!" Wang Xu secretly rejoiced, a mere 88 million Wu Meng Crystals, compared to Wu Meng Spirit Essence, isn’t even worth a fraction! (To be continued.
