Fang Bie was also very tense at this time. The two people beside him were not the peerless geniuses who would dominate this area in the future, but rather two fledgling successors.
In reality, everyone was just starting to grow. The highest combat power they had seen was only Li Ruoyu, the Old Man who would become a Sage in the future.
In case he took out something terrifying, relying on just the few of them, they might not be able to suppress it.
However, Fang Bie was not a hesitant person. In the Original Story, something small like this wouldn't contain any great terror. Therefore, he very simply tapped the small hammer in his hand and knocked open the outer Stone Shell.
"Clang!" A crisp Sound rang out, as if he wasn't hitting a Stone with a small Stone Hammer, but rather the collision of two pieces of Steel.
With just this simple tap, golden Radiance penetrated out from the Stone and appeared before them. Even more, there was a vast Radiance revealed from within, not at all inferior to yesterday's Stone Steps.
However, this time, the Radiance emitted did not carry the Bell Sound like the eternal Great Dao, it was merely Radiance, and it didn't even disturb the Old Man meditating nearby.
"Unexpected, ah, unexpected that such a palm-sized Stone Block actually contains a Divine Source!" Hua Yunfei exclaimed, his Words surprisingly lacking much greed.
"What surprises me even more is that just this one Mountain Peak hides so many good things. What kind of Secrets are hidden in the other Mountains?" Ye Fan said.
"Not so, not so." Hua Yunfei shook his head, "Zhuo Peak has great Secrets. Since you two have already become Disciples of this peak, you naturally have the opportunity to know."
"When our Ancestors created this Tai Xuan Sect, except for Zhuo Peak and Xing Peak, all other 106 Mountain Peaks were naturally formed. Xing Peak is a star from beyond the heavens, refined by the Ancestors of our Xing Peak into this Mountain."
He paused slightly, "But Zhuo Peak was specially preserved by the Elder who originally founded Zhuo Peak. At that time, this Land was gathered by him to form this Mountain Peak, and countless ancient and distant Things buried under the Mountain were all added."
A very strange Radiance appeared in his Gaze, "However, the material of this Mountain Peak is exceptionally heavy, and the Essence within was refined into the nine-layered Heavenly Stairs you stepped on yesterday. Unexpectedly, today, you have such a Gain again!"
Fang Bie waved his hand, "Then it seems my luck is truly not bad, otherwise, there would be no way to obtain such a high Gain."
"Because this Mountain Peak was once refined by an expert, it also contains some strange Nature and Methods!" Hua Yunfei explained, "Otherwise, in a barren Place like ours, how could there be the generation of Source?"
"So that's how it is!" Fang Bie also nodded. In the Original Story, Source should have been very rare Things. It's impossible for it to become easily obtainable just because of his arrival; there must be other Reasons.
If this Land were so rich in this Substance, even a famous sect like the Tai Xuan Sect would probably find it difficult to withstand the greedy Gazes of countless people in the Surroundings.
However, everyone's Gazes shifted back to the pale yellow Divine Source in his hand. The Characteristic of Divine Source is that it is difficult to obtain and unpredictable.
Especially in such a barren Era, each piece of Divine Source means that some terrifying Creatures once appeared here, which is why such powerful Things could be left behind.
"There's no Meaning in talking too much about these Things. Why don't we see what exactly is Sealed inside?" Ye Fan said, and his statement was agreed upon by the other two.
"Brother Hua, do you have any Tools to cut this Thing?" The only things Fang Bie had on him that could be used for cutting were a Knife and a kitchen knife, and neither seemed quite suitable.
"I do!" Hua Yunfei nodded. Divine Light danced around him, and a small Knife was taken out of thin air.
Fang Bie was still very envious of this Cultivation Method of using the body as a seed, where every part of the Body seemed to be able to be refined into Treasures.
They didn't have any concept of Inner Space, but they could transform those Treasures into something as tiny as a Mustard Seed, hide them in their Bodies, and then take them out later.
Fang Bie felt that this should be a very convenient Storage Art, at least much more convenient than taking things out from his Backpack.
This was a jade Knife, emitting a crystal-clear Radiance, and it looked very precious.
Hua Yunfei took it in his hand and gently placed it on the golden Divine Source. With a slight force in his hand, he had already cut a piece from it.
"Here!" Fang Bie casually picked up this piece of Divine Source emitting Radiance. He could even feel the Energy contained within. If they had possessed this Energy back then, treating Yao Lao probably wouldn't have required so much Effort.
But these Things were already in the Past, so let's not mention them for now. Fang Bie directly tossed it to Ye Fan.
"Fang Bie, you…" Ye Fan asked in surprise.
"Your Body is in a Sealed State and needs a large amount of Energy to unlock. Consider this piece of Divine Source as my advance Investment!"
Fang Bie laughed. He didn't hide the Situation of him knowing so many Matters. This way, he could strengthen the self-positioning he had stated in front of them.
"Alright!" Ye Fan nodded. Since it was someone else's kindness, he would accept it. "Whenever there is a need, as long as it doesn't violate my True Heart, Ye Fan will not refuse."
"Of course, I might need your help in the future, so consider this a Reward given in advance," Fang Bie said. Building a good Relationship with the Protagonist is always right, at least it won't have any disadvantages.
Ye Fan packed this piece of Thing into the Jade Box he carried with him. Divine Source is not other Things. This Treasure evaporates in the Air and will quickly cause Spiritual Qi to increase rapidly, but it will also quickly combine with the Air.
After the surrounding Divine Source was removed and cleaned, the remaining Thing was revealed before them. This Thing was very small, about the size of a fingernail.
"Is this the Thing hidden inside?" Fang Bie carefully took it from the other person's hand. It was a round bead, about the size of the marbles he played with as a child.
This Thing did not have any Qi on it, but a strange Pattern emerged on it.
"This Pattern…" Ye Fan was taken aback and took out a slightly flattened Bodhi Seed from his chest. "It seems very similar to this!"
Fang Bie compared the two, and they were indeed very similar. Apart from the great similarities in the Patterns on them, both emitted a strange and mysterious Information, continuously and incessantly.
"Same as the Bodhi Seed… Could this also be a Seed?" Fang Bie said with some doubt.
