Chapter 2359: Choosing Treasure Ore

“Hahaha, the Treasure Ore should certainly be put to good use.”

Carl laughed heartily as he walked toward the nearby Forging Platform.

Standing behind him, Feng Shendao’s lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Dadun and Carl were the last to arrive; Tang Ming and the others were already in position. Seeing the two approach, Tang Ming’s gaze landed on Feng Shendao in the distance.

Feng Shendao nodded towards Tang Ming and then proceeded directly to the host position at the top: “Alright, Source Stone City, the first edition of the Immortal Craftsman Competition, the top five Immortal Craftsmen from the second round are all present.”

“Today is the last day of the Immortal Craftsman Competition, and the most exciting, because we, the major families of Source Stone City and the City Lord of West Continent City, Tang Ming, have brought forth thirty-two pieces of Treasure Ore to be refined today. Each Immortal Craftsman will be able to take three pieces of Treasure Ore and other minerals to forge a Treasure.”

“We’ll determine the winner based on the forging time, type, and power of the Treasure. The judges will be the top hundred Immortal Craftsmen from yesterday’s competition; each of you has the right to vote. Cast your vote for the Immortal Craftsman you admire. I hope everyone can set aside personal relations and vote for the true champion.”

Feng Shendao bowed slightly to the surrounding crowd, and then members of the Feng Family began distributing a Spirit Stone for voting to Tang Ming and the other hundred Immortal Craftsmen.

The Spirit Stone used for voting was engraved with the numbers one, two, three, four, and five.

The Spirit Stone bore unique inscriptions that could be lit by infusing Spiritual Power.

After collecting the Spirit Stone, Tang Ming, as the champion of the second round of the Immortal Craftsman Competition, was the first to approach the Treasure Ore storage to select Treasure Ores and minerals.

Tang Ming’s contributed Treasure Ore actually consisted of only the two pieces previously stored at the Feng Family.

The major families of Source Stone City also agreed to Tang Ming’s request that the Treasure forged from the selected three pieces of Treasure Ore would belong to him.

In other words, the Treasure Ore Tang Ming selected would be his own this time.

The Treasure Ores were placed deep within the location where minerals were stored.

Feng Shendao accompanied Tang Ming, and the two talked about many things along the way.

Feng Shendao’s relative visited Dadun’s residence and naturally saw many people there.

After Dadun and Carl left, his people had already taken control of that area.

“I can obtain intelligence from there at any time. After Hu Mei’er and Clan Leader Murong succeed, my people will be set up to strike against those outsiders directly.”

Feng Shendao spoke slowly.

“No rush. Within the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect, the Xue Keke Clan is quite powerful. Once we act, it’ll inevitably create a commotion. That could affect us here. You must first take action against the areas where there are many Slave Clan members. As for the direct members of the Xue Keke Clan, let’s wait until we take down Dadun, Carl, and that guy named Sedno.”

Tang Ming stopped walking and then spoke.

Feng Shendao nodded: “I’ll follow your lead. Every capable fighter from each family has been placed here. Except for the guards, they’ve all become spectators. I refuse to believe that even if they’re strong, three people from the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect can withstand us.”

“Hmm. Be careful. You family heads might become hostages to those three insane people. Remember, these people have given orders to massacre cities.”

Tang Ming nodded and then walked toward the Treasure Ore storage area.

At the Treasure Ore storage area, four people were guarding it, including two Supreme Elders from the Feng Family, Elder Jin Shuang from the Jin Family, and a Tribute from the Twin Clan of the Jin Family.

When the four saw Feng Shendao and Tang Ming coming, they all stood up and nodded to Tang Ming.

To Feng Shendao, as someone from Source Stone City, he was considered one of their own. Tang Ming, on the other hand, was an esteemed guest from Source Stone City.

“City Lord Tang Ming, make your selection. Since they’ll all be used, choose the best. Need me to recommend two particularly good pieces of Treasure Ore?”

Feng Shendao believed that Tang Ming, as someone from West Continent City, likely didn’t understand the Treasure Ore as well as he did.

But Tang Ming shook his head and first chose a piece of Ice Attribute mineral.

This piece of Treasure Ore was azure blue, not the best among these Treasure Ores, but it was the purest.

Seeing Tang Ming choose that azure blue mineral, Feng Shendao raised his brows but remained silent.

He didn’t understand Tang Ming’s reasoning.

Anyway, Sidenlo would choose next, and those superior pieces of Treasure Ore definitely wouldn’t fall into the hands of Dadun and Carl for refining.

Tang Ming extended his hand and picked up a purple mineral.

This piece of mineral’s power was restrained; it was provided by the Feng Family.

Feng Shendao had studied this Treasure Ore before but hadn’t figured out its specific function.

Feng Shendao coughed and then said: “City Lord Tang Ming, may I ask what the function of this Treasure Ore is?”

Tang Ming paused and then said: “Isn’t this Treasure Ore provided by the Feng Family?”

“Indeed, it’s provided by the Feng Family, but we haven’t understood its function.”

At this point, Feng Shendao’s face blushed slightly.

As an ancestral Immortal Craftsman family, aside from forging and cultivation, the most common task over the years was mining and differentiating Source Stones.

Yet, until now, Feng Shendao hadn’t determined the function of this Treasure Ore.

Seeing Feng Shendao’s embarrassment, Tang Ming laughed and then said: “This Treasure Ore is rather specialized. Feng Family Head, if you can’t discern it, that’s normal because its function is spiritual.”

“Spiritual, you mean, soul?”

Feng Shendao’s mouth gaped in surprise.

In the highest Laws, one form was soul.

The formation of Treasure Ore is generally tied to the Laws.

The strength of a Treasure Ore is classified as Mixed Treasure Ore and Supreme Treasure Ore. This time, although the Feng Family and others have contributed lots of Treasure Ore, only the Jin Family and Feng Family have each provided a Mixed Treasure Ore.

Yet, this Treasure Ore turned out to be Soul Attribute and contained the foundation for spiritual power.

Considering this, Feng Shendao’s breathing became difficult. If not for Tang Ming, he would surely have taken back this Treasure Ore.

“I see. Then, I’ll ask City Lord Tang Ming to select another piece of Treasure Ore.”

Feng Shendao forced a somewhat awkward smile but, considering his alliance with Tang Ming, took a deep breath, smiled again, and said.

Tang Ming nodded: “Just this piece. This Wood Attribute is of great use to me.”
