In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 660 Origin Stone

Lu Yuan's eyes darted around the main hall. At this moment, quite a few impatient demon lords were gathered around several tables, their lips moving slightly as they transmitted their thoughts. They were also occasionally taking out jade boxes and small bottles from their storage bags, seemingly having already begun a small-scale exchange.

Lu Yuan blinked, then suddenly stood up and walked casually toward one of the small groups.

Given Lu Yuan's size and the unusual commotion he made, he was naturally spotted by the demon lords long ago. They all stopped talking and looked at Lu Yuan with different expressions.

Some were surprised and suspicious, some were cautious, and some were baffled.

"Hey, bring out all the good stuff you have and let us see," Lu Yuan said in a deep, muffled voice as he approached.

“We are all acquaintances with this Venerable Lu, which is why we gathered together to exchange these items,” one of the Demon Lords said, frowning.

Lu Yuan chuckled: "What do you mean? Just because I'm not familiar with you guys doesn't mean I can't participate?"

Upon hearing this, the demon lords were all stunned.

Isn't that exactly what you just meant?

At this moment, one of the demon lords suddenly realized what was going on and said to Lu Yuan with a sincere expression, "Venerable Lu, that's exactly the point. You should go find some fellow Daoists you know."

"Oh!" Lu Yuan nodded, but quickly snorted coldly, "Hmph! You guys are dishonest!"

After saying that, he walked off to the next place.

The demon lords were naturally displeased upon hearing this. However, considering that the mountain giant was inherently powerful and that they wouldn't gain anything by provoking him, they could only grit their teeth and bear it, continuing their little exchange.

The other demon lords who witnessed the previous scene now looked at Lu Yuan with more complex expressions. Some wore a hint of mockery, while others showed a touch of curiosity.

Lu Yuan seemed completely oblivious, continuing to stroll carelessly through the main hall, shouting that he wanted to exchange for good things wherever he went, which drew the attention of the surrounding demon lords.

"Hey, Venerable Lu. You keep saying you want to exchange things, but what did you bring?" Perhaps because the exchange meeting hadn't officially started yet, the Demon Lord, who was getting bored while waiting, asked with great interest.

"I have a lot of stuff, hundreds of millions of magic stones. If any of you have anything good, just bring it out. If you like it, I absolutely won't haggle."

"Magic stones? Let me remind Venerable Lu, magic stones are the least valuable thing in our exchange, otherwise everyone would be at the auction." A demon lord said with a smile.

“That’s right, you have to bring out your most cherished and beloved possession, do you understand?” Another demon lord chimed in.

"The most precious thing?"

"Oh, I see, there is!" Lu Yuan slapped his head with a look of sudden realization, and then a magical light flashed in his hand, and a stone the size of a washbasin appeared.

Because of Lu Yuan's series of rash actions earlier, he had already attracted everyone's attention in the hall. Therefore, all the demon lords turned their gaze to the stone and began to examine it carefully.

But soon, almost all the Demon Lords frowned, because they found that the stone in Lu Yuan's hand didn't seem to have anything special about it.

Some of the demon lords, however, had a glint in their eyes and, refusing to believe it, began to investigate even more carefully.

Because many extraordinary items are initially quite ordinary in appearance and are only discovered by a few lucky individuals or those who are cautious and meticulous.

Therefore, those demon lords who had initially frowned also realized what was happening after seeing the actions of the others.

They all unleashed their full divine senses, secretly employing various secret techniques. One daring demon lord even leaped up and approached Lu Yuan's large hand to examine it closely.

However, his actions aroused dissatisfaction among others, who criticized him relentlessly.

"What are you doing? Get out of the way!"

"Can you please stop blocking my way?"

"If you don't move aside, I'll unleash my demonic weapon and blast you to smithereens!"

The demon lord who flew close observed for a while but ultimately found nothing unusual. Coupled with the reprimands from the other demon lords, he quickly sighed and returned to his seat.

"Venerable Lu, what is the origin of this stone?" a demon lord couldn't help but ask.

"This is the Origin Stone." Lu Yuan looked at the stone in his hand with affection, his tone gentle and soft, showing none of his previous roughness.

Origin Stone?

A murmur rippled through the hall, and many demon lords wore thoughtful expressions. Some shook their heads, indicating they had never heard of it, while others looked on with suspicion, as if they had thought of something but dared not speak rashly.

“I have never seen my mother. This stone has been with me since I became conscious, until I was born. It is no exaggeration to say that this primordial stone came out of my mother’s womb with me and is my most precious possession,” Lu Yuan said solemnly.

However, his words left all the demon lords dumbfounded.

"Isn't this your companion stone?"

"Wherever a mountain giant is born, it will drain all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, let alone the stones around you."

"You're just a useless piece of rotten rock, the kind that even ordinary demons in the Holy Realm with no spiritual roots wouldn't use to build houses!"

After figuring out the origin of this primordial stone, all the demon lords shook their heads and sneered.

They had thought the mountain giant had produced something incredible, but it turned out to be a huge pile of excrement.

Someone joked, "Venerable Lu, are you kidding us? Trying to fool us with a broken stone?"

Seeing everyone laughing, the mountain giant that Lu Yuan had transformed into naturally became enraged.

"What are you laughing at? I wouldn't trade with your junk!"

Lu Yuan roared, his massive body suddenly trembled, and a powerful aura instantly spread out, causing the demon lords present to change color.

He then stomped his foot hard on the ground, causing the entire hall to tremble. Instantly, countless cracks, resembling a spider web, appeared on the floor, spreading across a small portion of the hall.

Many demon lords were shaken and their faces showed shock and anger. But after seeing the state of the ground beneath Lu Yuan's feet, they all fell silent, and the once noisy hall immediately became quiet.

Even the two late-stage Demon Lords, each sitting in a corner, looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of approval in their eyes.

Many of them were here before and knew that this seemingly ordinary hall contained hidden secrets that could not be easily destroyed.

However, the fact that everyone stopped laughing did not quell Lu Yuan's anger. After scanning the room, he focused his gaze on a guy near the center of the hall.

When the other demon lords followed Lu Yuan's gaze to look at the unfortunate fellow, they all revealed expressions of great interest.
