Chapter 337: Clumsy Stone
Clumsy Stone!
There was still one day left before the stone technique duel between Xuanyuan and Lord Virtuous the Eighth. But at this moment, the Cheng Sect Stone Square was already packed with people.
Every single person in the Dawn Stone District had a special status and powerful strength. Those who weren't strong enough or didn't have a high enough status were cleared out one by one. No one dared to raise any objections.
Even so, the square was still tightly surrounded. Many heroes from the Northern State floated in the sky and looked at Xuanyuan.
Xuanyuan glanced at Yin Zhenluo and thought, "It seems that my beautiful master has also broken through to the Celestial Realm.
The aura emanating from her seems to be sharper and sharper. "After a pause, Xuanyuan did not say anything more. He just pretended that he did not know Yin Zhenluo.
After a pause, Xuanyuan did not say anything more. He just pretended that he did not know Yin Zhenluo.
In the inner part of the Cheng Sect Stone Square, surrounded by a small mountain of Source Stones, there were huge stones as tall as ordinary people. These huge stones had various colors on them. They were extremely huge and had various stripes. They were the traces left behind by time and history, giving people different feelings.
Stepping on the golden light, Xuanyuan seemed to be integrated with the whole world, giving people a feeling that he was flawless!
An old man, who was the leader of the Celestial Stone Square, sighed with emotion. He was the leader of the five Geomasters.
"At such a young age, he can integrate with the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth without any rejection. It's amazing. If he is allowed to develop, his future will be limitless."
Lord Virtuous the Eighth frowned. At this time, he remembered that he did not try his best in the duel with Xuanyuan that day. Didn't Xuanyuan do the same?
Now, Xuanyuan's momentum was great. He understood Xuanyuan's idea. Xuanyuan wanted to take advantage of Xuanyuan's continuous stone-cutting to completely overwhelm him. However, Lord Virtuous the Eighth had promised Xuanyuan three days' time. At this time, he could only watch from the side. There was nothing he could do. Now he could only hope that Xuanyuan's stone-cutting would fail again and again.
Otherwise, if Xuanyuan triumphed all the way with unstoppable momentum, countless people would think more of Xuanyuan. At that time, it was not hard to imagine the pressure that Xuanyuan and Lord Virtuous the Eighth would face.
"Yes, I don't know what kind of physique this boy has. He can integrate with the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and earth. Even we can't do it." Lord Virtuous the Eighth sighed. Now he only hoped that this day would pass quickly so that he could bet with Xuanyuan on the next two rounds.
What he did not know was that Xuanyuan was the one who was most rejected by the power of heaven and earth. It was because of his special physique, the "All Energy-Absorption Body," which could devour and transform everything in the world. Even the transmission had to consume a large amount of pure energy to neutralize the power of heaven and earth. However, Xuanyuan could integrate with the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth only because Xuanyuan had a good understanding of heaven and earth.
Seeing Xuanyuan coming to the Beizhou Dynasty, Yin Zhenluo had mixed feelings.
"Why is Xuanyuan here?"
She came to the imperial capital of the Northern Province because of Xuanyuan and wanted to cooperate with Cheng Yang. But now Xuanyuan came here in person. What did he want?
Xuanyuan hid his identity and was a young man of the Ji Family. Naturally, Yin Zhenluo could not recognize Xuanyuan on the spot. Everything could only be understood later.
It seemed that Xuanyuan could cause a great sensation wherever he went. It was the same last time in the imperial capital of the Eastern Province. He displayed the magical power of the "Nightmare Ghost", which was unparalleled. He dominated the imperial capital of the Eastern Province and deterred the people of the Hai Family from acting recklessly!
Now, he was gambling on stones with Lord Virtuous the Eighth of the Beizhou Dynasty and shocked the entire imperial capital with his exquisite stone skills. Countless nobles, royalty, Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of various Immortal Mansions, and experts with extremely terrifying strength came one after another, which was enough to prove Xuanyuan's strength!
Yin Zhenluo could not help but sigh with emotion. The disciple she had accepted that day had now become a dragon among men, comparable to many Holy Sons and Holy Maidens.
In the Source Stones area of Cheng Meng Stone Workshop, there was a pool in the center. Around the pool, there were many tall Source Stones, each of which was very valuable. Outside these Source Stones, there were mountains of Source Stones, and outside were also mountains of Source Stones. Xuanyuan started from the small ones to the big ones, step by step. Xuanyuan understood that perhaps the most valuable Source Stones were next to the pool. Now, Xuanyuan wanted to sweep all the Source Stones around the pool one by one to sense that strange existence.
Xuanyuan was very unconvinced. Originally, he would not lose the first round, but he was disturbed. The Source Stone that was as heavy as Mount Tai, which was comparable to the Heavenly Tiger Killing Source, suddenly lost more than 500 kilograms for no reason. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if they were in his shoes.
"Uh-huh, is this the boy? Big Brother's stone workshop has been open for so long, but this is the first time that he has encountered such a big enemy. Stone gambling is not only about skills, but also people's hearts. This boy of the Ji Family was able to win so many Source Stones from Big Brother's stone workshop. It can be said that he has the ability. "Cheng Yang laughed.
"How can you laugh? This is the stone workshop of your most respected Big Brother. Aren't you afraid that he will make your Big Brother's stone workshop close down?" Yin Zhenluo said calmly.
"Haha, if it can go down, it will go down eventually. That's when there is no other way. Why do you have to worry so much? There are gains and losses. Why do you have to be unhappy when you lose? Isn't that even worse?" Cheng Yang's warm and sunny smile was very infectious. His words were warm, his tone was soft, and he looked extraordinary. His aptitude was extraordinary, and his status was noble!
Yin Zhenluo smiled calmly and did not say anything more. Then, a very free and easy laughter came from the side.
"Second Brother, after so many years, you are still so open-minded. Today, I am here to see how unlucky Big Brother will be, hahaha."
The person who spoke was none other than Cheng Xu, the Seventh Prince of the Beizhou Dynasty. He had the 'Body of Emptiness'. This person ignored all the honor and disgrace of the royal family. He was indifferent to life and lived a free and unfettered life. He was the complete opposite of Cheng Yin. He would muddle along with everything and would not haggle over every little thing. Similarly, he was also a prince with a good reputation in the Northern Province.
However, he did not have any lofty ambitions. He only cared about roaming the world by himself, uninhibited and unrestrained. Therefore, his reputation was both good and bad, mixed with praise and criticism!
"Haha, Big Brother has been very unlucky recently. Do you still think that he is not unlucky enough?"
"Not enough. Haha, it is rare to see Big Brother so unlucky …"
Many people were speechless towards this pair of brothers.
"This person is not ordinary. His actions are in harmony with the Heaven and Earth. He is calm and at ease, neither arrogant nor impatient. If it was an ordinary person in such a situation, their mood would naturally be affected. However, there is not the slightest bit of emotion on him. It is clear that this child's heart is not ordinary!" The Holy Maiden of the Cold Sky Immortal Mansion looked at Xuanyuan and gave such an evaluation. Her voice was as cold as usual, but in the depths of her eyes, there was a burning heat.
"Oh? The Holy Maiden of the Cold Sky Immortal Mansion rarely praises people. I did not expect her to be so generous with her praise for this young man from the Ji Family. It is clear that this young man from the Ji Family is not ordinary. " The Holy Son of the Black Tortoise Immortal Mansion laughed heartily. His laughter was deep and heavy, giving the impression of a collapsing mountain.
"It is not difficult to cut out pure energy source from those low-value source stones. Previously, it was said that he has a 90% chance of obtaining energy source. However, when he cut out the small source stones, the probability dropped by 10%. Now, if he wants to cut out pure energy source from these big stones, I'm afraid the probability will drop even more."
Xuanyuan's strength was undeniable. Even the Black Tortoise Holy Son couldn't help but admire Xuanyuan's attainments in stone techniques. He was simply an unparalleled genius!
"Haha, why don't we wait and see? Let's see how strong the outstanding talents of the Central Province are compared to my Northern Province." The Holy Maiden of the Cold Sky Immortal Mansion had a smile on her face. Between her brows, there was a heroic spirit. Her eyes were filled with endless gentleness and gentleness. Her voice was gentle yet firm, neither slow nor hurried.
"Hmph, if it is the Revolving Stone Technique, I admit that I am no match for him. But if it is strength, I can kill him with a slap. The outstanding talents of the Central Province are only so-so. Stone techniques are just for fun. Those who play too much will eventually lose their will." The Black Tortoise Holy Son sneered. His voice was very loud, like a resounding slap on the faces of countless people.
Since ancient times, countless people had been passionate about stone gambling. This fanaticism had already seeped into their bones. Now that the 'Black Tortoise Holy Son' said that it was a game that had lost its will, these people naturally felt uncomfortable. However, some people had indeed lost their entire family's fortune in stone gambling. Therefore, they didn't argue on this topic anymore.
"Ignorant boy." Xuanyuan looked at the Saint of Xuanwu and scolded him with a smile.
The Black Tortoise Holy Son's expression changed. He glared at Xuanyuan. Xuanyuan smiled and said:
"Stone gambling is a kind of mood. Stone gambling is a kind of comprehension of all things in the world. It contains all kinds of mysteries. How can a person like you understand?" "Stone is also a kind of momentum.
"Stones are also a kind of power, and so are people. If a person can see the power of the world clearly and go with it, he will naturally be successful. No one can escape from the real power. Some people see the fake power and are deceived. That's why they are defeated. But some people see the real power. That's wisdom. If you don't even understand this, how can you be the Saint of Tortoise? Go back to farming for a few years and understand the world before talking about stone gambling." Xuanyuan had a great understanding of stonework, so he didn't want others to insult it. Xuanyuan had a great understanding of stonework, so he didn't want others to insult it.
Each of Xuanyuan's words contained the supreme truth. Some of the words were comprehended by Xuanyuan, while others were from the Daluo Sutra.
It was thought-provoking. Those who were hidden in the dark or those who had a high status in the Northern Dynasty carefully pondered over the meaning of Xuanyuan's words. One by one, they couldn't help but nod their heads.
"This boy is really smart. He can comprehend such a truth from stone gambling."
"This is a great truth. Understanding stones is like understanding people. I didn't expect this boy to have such comprehension at such a young age. He is really extraordinary."
"Understanding stones is like understanding people. Good, well said. This boy from the Ji family has made me understand a truth. He has given me an epiphany."
Those who commented included the Grand Tutor of the Beizhou Dynasty and a few important ministers of the Beizhou Dynasty. The others were all thinking about Xuanyuan's words.
The 'Black Tortoise Holy Son' was extremely angry. He pointed at Xuanyuan and glared angrily. After pausing for a while, the 'Black Tortoise Holy Son' laughed and said,
"Young Master Ji, hurry up and cut the stone. I want to see how powerful you are."
Xuanyuan smiled gently and took a step forward. Golden lines weaved into a Daluo Sutra diagram. The Dawn Stones that were worth hundreds of millions or even billions of Origin Stones outside the pool emitted strange vibrations that were reflected into Xuanyuan's sea of consciousness. Each Origin Stone seemed to contain peerless Fighting Source. They were seducing and enticing Xuanyuan.
Life was like this. With every step, one had to face temptation. However, there were benefits to this temptation, and naturally, there were risks as well. The choice required courage and wisdom to choose the benefits and avoid the risks as much as possible. If the risks were greater than the benefits, then there was no need for it.
In the face of these enticements, Xuanyuan carefully sorted out the feeling through different senses. What kind of feeling was right?
Origin Stones were contained between heaven and earth. Naturally, they contained Fighting Energy of Heaven and Earth. Although the Fighting Energy of Heaven and Earth was thick, it did not necessarily take shape.
The formation of each Fighting Source required luck and the power of the terrain to condense day and night. After countless years of evolution, it could gradually take shape.
Xuanyuan closed his eyes and gently stroked a Origin Stone. For the first time, Xuanyuan felt that the methods of counterfeiting on these huge Origin Stones were often much more exquisite than those of small Origin Stones. They were all the work of an expert. If he had not inherited the Daluo Sutra, which contained many insights of the Daluo Immortal Emperor and various characteristics of counterfeiting, perhaps Xuanyuan's judgment would have declined greatly. The experience left behind by predecessors was incomparably valuable.
Xuanyuan walked to the stone forest outside the pool and began to separate the fake Origin Stones and the huge Origin Stones that would make him lose money. Yuechang followed closely behind Xuanyuan. Seeing that Xuanyuan could still make such a good judgment in the face of these Origin Stones, her heart skipped a beat.
"His mastery of stonework is too unfathomable. I didn't expect things to develop to this point. Damn it, why didn't Xuanyuan go anywhere else? Why did he come to my Cheng Sect Stone Workshop? Oh, right, it's Shi Yan! He wanted to pursue Shi Yan, but Shi Yan was seriously injured by the First Prince. Now Xuanyuan is here to avenge Shi Yan. The First Prince used Xuanyuan's name to deceive Shi Yan and steal Shi Yan's Fighting Fire. Xuanyuan has always been a vengeful person. Now he must really want to take down Cheng Sect Stone Workshop! "
"Forget it. It's easier said than done if he wants to bankrupt the entire Cheng Meng Stone Workshop. But the losses are too great. The Big Dipper Army has lost seven thousand men, and there are still six Big Dipper Armies fighting in all directions. It's going to cost a lot of money every day." Yuechang racked her brains to think of a way to deal with Xuanyuan, but there was nothing she could do in the face of such a huge Origin Stone Workshop.
Under such circumstances, Yuechang suddenly realized something. She was shocked.
"Arrogant, this guy is too arrogant. Is he saying that he's the general trend? It's an overt scheme! This is an overt scheme! In the face of an overt scheme, all hidden schemes are useless! If I had known this would happen, I would have restrained him from the start! "
Yuechang's intestines were turning green with regret. Cheng Sect Stone Workshop was destined to suffer a great disaster. This loss was destined to be inevitable.
However, things were not as simple as Yuechang imagined.
Just as Yuechang was pondering, Xuanyuan suddenly spoke.
"I'll take this source stone."
The source stone that Xuanyuan pointed at gave people a very clumsy feeling. It looked like a sword, but it was not. The clumsy stone had no edge. Although it was not sharp, it gave people a feeling that it could contain everything in the world.
But at the same time, it gave off a plausible illusion, as if everything was an illusion. Yue Chang looked at the clumsy stone and said with a faint smile, "That's right.
"Young Master Ji, this clumsy stone costs 1.8 billion king coins!"
Xuanyuan knew that the source stones on the periphery of the pool were extremely expensive. Almost all of the source stones that cost less than 100 million king coins were fake. Cheng Sect Stone Workshop was very good at grasping people's minds. It seemed that every high-value source stone could be cut into pure energy source, and if one bought a higher value, they would be able to obtain even more valuable energy source!
Among the more expensive Origin Stones, there were even some heterogeneous energy sources mixed in. The amount was not much, and it was either the same or a little less. All of this was to catch a big fish.
If it weren't for the Origin Immortal Emperor's understanding of the Origin Immortal Emperor's heart in the Exalted Tome, Xuanyuan's judgment would have been much weaker. On the contrary, it was the Origin Immortal Emperor's heart that allowed Xuanyuan to quickly distinguish between the manipulated source stones. Any source stone that had been manipulated would have an extremely minute flaw, as if something was missing. This required a stone gambling master's innate sensitivity!
It was precisely because of this that Xuanyuan was able to quickly eliminate all the manipulated source stones and choose this clumsy-looking clumsy stone.
Xuanyuan nodded and said:
"Mm, you can deduct the money from the stone yourself."
When Xuanyuan chose the clumsy stone, many people couldn't help but frown. They all began to whisper amongst themselves, led by the five Geomasters!
"Clumsy stone, the Ji family's youth actually chose a clumsy stone. This clumsy stone looks clumsy, but it gives people the feeling that it contains a myriad of energy sources. However, everything is specious. I've cut a total of seven hundred clumsy stones, and the probability of obtaining energy sources is only about thirty percent. Among the source stones he has chosen before, there are many that contain energy sources, but he didn't choose any of them. What's the meaning of this?" The leading old man spoke very slowly.
"I don't know. This child's choice of stone has always been very surprising. Even if we cut countless stones, we can't guarantee that every source stone will have the same characteristics. Some will always have their own special characteristics. The shape of the clumsy stone he chose shows that it has been deposited in the soil for an extremely long time!"
"It gives people the feeling that it is all-encompassing, as if it bears the weight of all things on earth. However, this clumsy stone just happens to have this special characteristic! More often than not, many people have been deceived! "
"Looks like it'll be very difficult for him to obtain energy sources that exceed the price of 1.8 billion king coins!"
"Difficult, difficult, difficult …"
Xuanyuan didn't care about what the others thought. The Demon Devouring Sword in his hand danced as he began to cut open the stone. In the face of reality, everything else was fleeting.
