ow that their elder brother was gone, leaving behind a mess, there was a high possibility of the family facing bankruptcy and liquidation. This would leave his sister-in-law and nephew in dire straits..."Stone King"

That's a novel way to put it. Looking at Niu Er's shocked expression, Xiang Tian was dumbfounded. Could the crystal rod really be some kind of Stone King

But what was certain was that during his time in the demon city, it was the crystal wand that had turned the stone pillow into gravel. The day before yesterday, it had also transformed several other objects, including the jade ring finger, into dust.

Just now, after Tong Lei fainted, the crystal rod that had been tucked in his pocket suddenly became scorching hot. Looking up, he discovered that the yang energy within him was no longer flowing into the black stone, but instead, a stream of qi flowed out from the black stone and along his body into the crystal rod.

Black stones continuously emitted air currents, pretending to be helpless against the sky, but secretly pondering these air currents. After a while, the air currents stopped, and his hands no longer clung tightly to the surface. However, the black stone, which is what Niu Er called the Black Jade King, showed clear cracks on its surface that could shatter at any moment.

This also confirmed his long-held suspicions that the crystal staff could just suppress these things engraved with strange patterns.

"You said it was the Stone King" Xiang Tian asked Niu Er, "Tell me everything you know, and I can let you go."

But Niu'er acted as if he hadn't heard Xiangtian's words at all. He stared intently at the crystal staff, his eyes burning with fervor, muttering to himself: "King of Stone, it really is the King of Stone! I never thought I would have the chance to see the true King of Stone!"

"To Tian asked, placing the crystal wand before him, “Is he really the Stone King What is a Stone King anyway”

“Don’t let it get close to me!” Unexpectedly, Niu Er suddenly panicked and dodged desperately, afraid that the crystal staff in Tian Shou's hand would hit him.

"Relax, as long as you answer my questions, I guarantee you'll be fine." Xiang Tian felt a stir in her heart, holding the crystal rod against Niu Er's face and slowly swaying it in two circles, then pulling it away slightly.

Niu Er gasped for breath, it took a while for him to calm down. He slowly said: "Shi Wang is the King of Stones, appearing once every ten thousand years. Legend has it that it was born in the place of absolute yang, naturally possessing features identical to those of a man. Any woman who sees it will be subservient, possessing unparalleled power."

"So, this stick is a lewd object used specifically against women" Xiang Tian frowned and swept his eyes over Niu Er. From Niu Er's eyes, he saw a glint of cunning. He slammed his foot down, roaring, "Tell me the truth! If you don't want to die, speak!"

After finishing his words, he pointed the crystal rod at Niu Er's forehead and tapped it lightly. Suddenly, Xiang Tian felt a burning sensation in his hand as the crystal rod became hot, while Niu Er let out a scream and slumped to the ground, weak and lifeless.

In the blink of an eye, this fellow seemed to have aged ten years. His hair turned white in large patches, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles.

It's too strange!

Niu Er panted, weakly saying: “I told you, I told you, don’t let it touch me.”

"Legend has it that the Stone King was first discovered by our Ancestor, the founder of the Craftsmen's Guild. He created the Yuanfu based on the patterns on the Stone King, thus establishing the Craftsmen's Guild."

Niu Er seemed to have suffered a significant injury. After saying a few words, he gasped heavily before continuing, “Back then, our Craftsmen’s ancestral master discovered these things on the Stone King that resembled meridians. They were very peculiar, able to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and constantly changing, almost as if they possessed a spirit of their own. Our ancestor was incredibly talented. Based on these meridian variations, he researched an entire set of Yuan Fu techniques. No matter what thing you carved the Yuan Fu onto, it could undergo drastic changes.”

"To devour other people's vital energy for one's own gain, to specifically harm others and benefit oneself, I think this so-called Yuanfu is not worth it!" Xiang Tian said coldly.

"You're wrong. True runes can attract heaven and earth's spiritual energy into the body, benefiting the host greatly; there's no need to devour others' essence." Niu Er glared disdainfully at Tian with a passionate air, but his eyes eventually dimmed, sighing, "It's just that I'm not skilled enough, only grasping the superficial aspects of Yuan Fu techniques. Besides, with my injury, I can only resort to borrowing others' essence for myself."

"You said you ranked second in the Jianmen, how come your skills are so unpolished" Xiang Tian asked.

Nie Er suddenly showed anger on his face, "There's a rotten rule in the Jianmen that has been around for thousands of years: everything related to Yuan Fu must be passed down singly, and it must be passed from elder to younger. I entered the sect only three days after my senior brother, and as a result, I lost this opportunity. I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!"

He roared for a while, his eyes flashing with malice as he snarled, “For so many years, I’ve been searching for an opportunity. Finally, I managed to steal some superficial knowledge, but when they found out, they threw me out of the craft guild. How cruel… I won’t accept this! I decided to duel my eldest brother, but he beat me badly. Though, he's not doing well either... Hahahaha… I poisoned him, and he won't live long!”

As Niu Er narrated, a tale of master-disciple feuds and grievances unfolded. Niu Er was expelled from his sect for stealing the secret art. He then challenged his senior brother, lost the duel, and secretly poisoned him, causing the senior brother to fall gravely ill. Niu Er then attempted to take advantage of the senior brother's daughter while he was incapacitated but was caught. He fled, eventually finding himself in this vast expanse of Daxing Mountain. He was about to be killed by wolves when Xie Hongwei rescued him.

"You're a real jerk!" Xiang Tian was so angry after hearing this, his heart felt like it was burning. He kicked Niu Er hard with his foot.

Niuer was kicked and sent flying, crashing heavily against the wall. He cried out in pain but soon broke into a crazed laugh: "Hahaha... Don't be too happy! The Shi Wang in your hand is no longer the same as before. If I'm not mistaken, the essence inside the Shi Wang has already been devoured by someone. Now it can only be used to please women. Hahahaha..."

"Is that so" Xiang Tian gave a cold smile and casually tossed the crystal wand towards Niu Er. "Can't it still be used against you"

Niuer's bones were broken in multiple places after being kicked into the sky. He was completely immobile. Seeing Shi Wang flying towards him, he was terrified and his soul nearly flew away. He desperately stretched out his hand to catch it, immediately letting out a scream. When he tried to throw it back, it was already too late.

"Please open it, I beg you! It's naturally able to suppress all Yuan Fu. Because I used Yuan Fu to devour too much of others' vital energy, it will take my life!"

Tian Leng looked coldly at Niu Er, unmoved by his pleas for help. Watching Niu Er rapidly age, his hair turning white before he fell silent, becoming a dried corpse.

Such a scum should be allowed to die in extreme pain and fear!

A few minutes later, he picked up the so-called Stone King. It was even more rounded than before, with a faintly translucent sheen.

It really is the Stone King Xiang Tian gazed at this magical stone staff, marveling in astonishment.to the villa. 。People were left in the hospital, and bodyguards were guarding it. No one knew that Zhi Lin had already come out of there. 。Liu Hong smiled and arranged Xiangtian to sit on the sofa,...
