Elder Tian's words caused everyone's heart to palpitate. Just the outer perimeter of the Ancient Almighty's abode, there were already powerful enchantment scrolls that could enchant weapons of Earth-rank and above. This was something that had never appeared in the Heavenly Sword Continent before. It could be imagined that there would be more commonly seen medicinal pills, cultivation techniques, martial techniques, and even powerful weapons. This place was definitely a treasure trove.
Many disciples secretly sighed. Fortunately, this cave dwelling was an inheritance cave dwelling, which restricted the entry of a group of experts. Otherwise, with so many treasures in front of them, how could they, the juniors, have a chance? Just the experts from all sides would be able to divide it up.
"That's all we have for the time being. After all, none of us have actually entered it. You will have to explore the dangers and treasures inside by yourselves. However, this is an inheritance cave dwelling after all. Based on the previous situations of inheritance caves, there shouldn't be too many dangers inside. Unless it's those eccentric ancient experts, otherwise, they wouldn't set up so many dangers to make things difficult for their inheritors. But you must remember, if you can't do it, don't force it. Experts also have their own rules. If you cross their bottom line, they will definitely not be lenient. Those warriors who tried to force their way through the barrier are a good example," Tian Hong cautioned.
After saying what he needed to say, Tian Hong retreated to the side. In the end, Wen Zhiyuan once again came out to encourage the disciples. After arranging everyone's accommodation, everyone dispersed.
Lu Xuan wasn't in a hurry to rest. Instead, he said to Zhao Binger and Du Xiaomao, "Binger, Xiaomao, why don't we go to this stone city together and take a look at those mysterious ores?"
"Junior Brother Lu, are you going to gamble on stones? Why don't you bring me along? "Yang Weili came over and said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Yang, are you going too?" Lu Xuan asked.
Yang Weili nodded, "I just heard from Elder Tian that the ores produced in this stone city are highly likely to be related to the ancient cave dwelling. It's not a bad idea to go and take a look. Who knows, we might be able to obtain some useful information."
Lu Xuan laughed and said, "I happen to have the same idea as Senior Brother Yang, so let's go together."
Zhao Binger and Du Xiaomao didn't refuse. They had already promised Lu Xuan to go with him. Now that they had a new clue, they had to go and take a look.
In fact, there were quite a lot of people who had the same idea as Lu Xuan. Not only the Mysterious Ice Pavilion, but some other sects had also received the news. Today was definitely the most crowded day of the stone gambling market in the city.
The four of them walked on the streets of Stone City, surrounded by disciples of the various sects. Lu Xuan then remembered that he was not familiar with Stone City. While Zhao Binger had been here when she was young, that was many years ago, and she might not have known the way back then.
Yang Weili smiled and gestured to Lu Xuan not to worry, "I came here two years ago and stayed here for a while. I'm quite familiar with the place. With me here, you won't get lost."
Lu Xuan was overjoyed and said, "That would be great. I wonder where the stone gambling place is in this stone city?"
Yang Weili thought for a moment, then said, "Stone gambling is the most popular place in the city. Many warriors come here, so there are many stone gambling shops."
"I heard from my master that the Nine Eastern Alliance controls all the ores in the city. Are there other factions that want a piece of the pie?" Du Xiaomao asked.
"The ones controlled by the Nine Eastern Alliance have a high chance of producing ores. That's the mountain range where the ancient caverns appeared. But in reality, there are other places where ores are scattered. The Nine Eastern Alliance doesn't care for them, so they're taken over by smaller families. That's why they set up stone gambling shops. Of course, they have to pay taxes to the Nine Eastern Alliance." Yang Weili explained, then turned to Lu Xuan and asked, "Where would you like to go, brother Lu?"
Lu Xuan thought for a moment, then said, "Since we're here, of course we'll go to the biggest stone gambling shop. I'm sure that's where the best ores are."
Yang Weili chuckled. "That's true. But comparatively speaking, the prices of raw stones in the Alliance are a little higher than elsewhere. Since we've decided, let's go."
Under Yang Weili's lead, the four of them made a beeline for the Nine Eastern Alliance's stone gambling shop. Along the way, there were many disciples from other sects who walked in the same direction. These disciples didn't want to go to a small shop to gamble.
Not long after, a luxuriously decorated shop appeared in front of them. It had a total of five floors and each floor was extremely tall. In this stone city, it seemed like a crane among chickens. Even the encampment of the Mysterious Ice Pavilion was far from being able to compare with this place.
After all, this was the Nine Eastern Alliance's territory. Who would dare challenge the Nine Eastern Alliance's authority?
"Oh, isn't this Yang Weili? What, you're also interested in gambling on stones? "A strange voice sounded.
Lu Xuan turned his head and saw a young man in embroidered clothes walking towards them with a few others. Each of their clothes was embroidered with a golden crown. Lu Xuan wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of clothing. Zhao Bing`er had introduced it to him before, it was the emblem of the Extreme Emperor Sect.
Enemies really do meet. He didn't expect to meet someone from the Extreme Emperor Sect here. He just didn't know what this guy's status was in the Extreme Emperor Sect. But since he could speak to Yang Weili like this, he couldn't be a small fry, Lu Xuan thought with interest.
Seeing this young man, Yang Weili didn't seem unhappy at all. He smiled faintly and said, "Since you, Xiang Tao, can come here, I can come too. Oh, right, I heard that you obtained second place in the Extreme Emperor Sect's Grand Competition. Congratulations. Hmm … If I remember correctly, this is the third time?"
Lu Xuan chuckled when he heard what Yang Weili said. Xiang Tao had always been second place in the Extreme Monarch Sect, and he had always been suppressed by the person in first place. Yang Weili was really hitting on Xiang Tao's sore spot.
As expected, when Yang Weili mentioned this, Xiang Tao's face immediately darkened. He hated it when people mentioned that he obtained second place. Since ancient times, there was no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts. To him, if he couldn't obtain first place, it was equivalent to having nothing.
He snorted coldly and said, "At least it's a little better than your Profound Ice Pavilion. The dignified Direct Disciple Battle was actually won by a kid in the sixth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. Your Profound Ice Pavilion is really getting worse with each generation."
Hearing this, Yang Weili subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Xuan and said with a smile, "Junior Lu, it seems that someone is very dissatisfied with you obtaining first place."
Lu Xuan secretly cursed Yang Weili for being so unkind. He sold him out so quickly. Entering the Ancient Almighty's cave was imminent. Moreover, he had some grudges with the Extreme Emperor Sect. He didn't want to cause any more trouble. At that moment, Lu Xuan only smiled and didn't reply.
However, Xiang Tao heard Yang Weili's words and looked at Lu Xuan with a puzzled expression. He asked, "You're Lu Xuan?"
Since he couldn't avoid it, Lu Xuan didn't hide it. He naturally replied, "If you're talking about Profound Ice Pavilion's Lu Xuan, then it should be me."
Xiang Tao carefully looked at Lu Xuan from head to toe, then smiled with slight disdain and said, "Looks like the rumors are true. I didn't expect you to only be in the sixth tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm. If I remember correctly, you're not only Profound Ice Pavilion's Lu Xuan, but also Wind Sword School's Lu Xuan, right? You've got some guts to dare kill someone from our Extreme Emperor Sect. "
"I should say that your Extreme Emperor Sect is courting death. You actually sent people to support the battle between Wind Sword School and Nine Star Sword School?" Lu Xuan said indifferently. Facing Xiang Tao, whose strength was unknown, there was nothing for him to be afraid of. His current status might not be any lower than Xiang Tao's.
Xiang Tao sneered and said, "Two guys with weak strength. So what if they're killed? I heard that you won the Profound Ice Pavilion's disciple battle again. I wonder if you dare to let me test your strength?"
Xiang Tao had a good plan in mind. If he could defeat Lu Xuan, wouldn't it boost the Extreme Emperor Sect's prestige? In front of the Headmaster, his status would undoubtedly be further elevated.
However, at this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind Lu Xuan. Zhao Binger said coldly, "Why don't you test my strength first?"
Xiang Tao didn't recognize Zhao Binger. After all, she rarely showed her face. Even the disciples of Profound Ice Pavilion might not recognize her. However, Zhao Binger's beauty made Xiang Tao think of something.
He didn't dare to be presumptuous and asked seriously, "Are you Miss Zhao Binger?"
Zhao Binger nodded her head indifferently, acknowledging her identity.
After hearing that it was indeed Zhao Binger, Xiang Tao's face couldn't help but change. Although the Extreme Emperor Sect's strength was on par with the Profound Ice Pavilion, in terms of disciples, they weren't as outstanding as the Profound Ice Pavilion. At least, among the disciples of the Extreme Emperor Sect, there wasn't a single Origin Realm disciple. Xiang Tao and the number one disciple of the Extreme Emperor Sect were both at the tenth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm and were about to break through to the Origin Realm. Because of this, Xiang Tao was very unhappy that he was always in second place.
But he, who was at the tenth level of the Spirit Refinement Realm, didn't have any qualifications to be arrogant in front of Zhao Binger. As one of the two Origin Realm disciples of the Profound Ice Pavilion, it was an easy task for Zhao Binger to defeat Xiang Tao.
Xiang Tao didn't expect that when he was making things difficult for Lu Xuan, Zhao Binger would suddenly appear out of nowhere. He immediately forced a smile and said, "Miss Binger misunderstood. When I said to test my strength, I meant to compete with Lu Xuan to see who's stronger in stone gambling."
Lu Xuan laughed in his heart when he heard this. This Xiang Tao was a bit too funny. He was terrified after seeing Zhao Binger. But to be honest, the feeling of living off a woman was a bit weird.
