Report

In Li City, both sides of the street were filled with Blue God Trees. Their branches were luxuriant and their leaves were sky blue. It was a very dreamy color. Even the tree trunk was shining like a blue crystal.

In front, there was a young girl in purple clothes on the ancient street. She was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Her eyebrows were curved and her eyes were full of spirit. She was extremely beautiful like a fairy under the night sky.

"Ji Ziyue …" Ye Fan stood in the distance and did not go over. Because he also saw Ji Haoyue, the famous Eastern Wasteland Divine Physique and one of the strongest of the young generation.

The enmity between him and the Ji Family was too deep. He had burned their Grand Elder to death in the Southern Domain. Not long ago, he had killed four young disciples of the Ji Family in the Qu Province. This had a great impact on the Ji Family. If Ji Haoyue found him, he would definitely attack him mercilessly.

"Look at him walking like a dragon and full of vigor. The hidden injury from being chased by the eldest disciple of the Peacock King should be completely healed."

Ye Fan cultivated the Heaven and Earth Transformation Law and could change his appearance and temperament. However, he was still afraid. The connection between the divine and saint physiques was very strong. Back at the Taixuan Sect, they had involuntarily fought against each other.

"What are they doing in Li City?" He knew that the two of them had come to the northern region to participate in the Jade Lake Meeting. However, he did not know why they stopped at Li City.

At this moment, Ye Fan had already changed his appearance. He wore a Daoist robe and became a little Daoist again. Of course, his face was different from the previous Daoist.

"Now, my cultivation has greatly improved and I am many times stronger than before. I should be able to control my body better. Maybe there will be no reaction between me and the divine body." Ye Fan wanted to give it a try.

Because he was going to participate in the Jade Lake Meeting, he could not avoid meeting Ji Haoyue. He might even see the divine body of the Jiang Clan. If there was a reaction between them, the consequences would be very bad.

Ye Fan restrained his aura and suppressed his cultivation, making himself look like an ordinary person. He then walked forward along the ancient street.

As he got closer and closer, he used the Heaven and Earth Transformation Law recorded in the Heavenly Book of Origin to suppress his true origin.

Finally, he gradually approached Ji Haoyue. His body did not have any special reaction, and the other did not notice anything either.

The streets were bustling with activity. Ye Fan lightly brushed past them and didn't stop. He calmly left into the distance.

He felt that Ji Haoyue had become even more terrifying. His divine body was unfathomable like a hidden god that could explode with earth-shattering battle strength at any time.

As for Ji Ziyue, she became even more beautiful. When she smiled, her dimples appeared and her canine teeth sparkled, making her look mischievous and clever.

"Zi Yue, what are you looking at?" Ji Haoyue asked. His eyes were filled with doting love. He really doted on his little sister.

"The little Daoist just now is a little special …" Ji Ziyue was. of

"Daoist" of "God", he Daoist "Ji" and "Dao" and "Daoist". "Dao" in "in" in of in in.

God Chen God. in "in" in "in" in "in. of of Dao God of Old.

Suddenly, Ye Fan Ye in in. of., Ye Fan., of. of. and he, of of Dragon of of of of Of.

All of a sudden, Ye Fan was startled. He saw someone he knew: Wu Zhongtian.

He was tall, with a leopard head and round eyes. His face was covered with a full beard, and his figure was like a lion. He was extremely tall and sturdy. He was the grandson of the fifth bandit, Wu Dao. He was the sworn brother of Tu Fei, Li Heishui, Jiang Huairen, and Liu Kou.

"Why is he here? Did something big happen in Li City?" Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat.

Wu Zhongtian was a top young expert. Tu Fei and the others couldn't defeat the Yao Guang Saint Son, so they wanted to ask him to help them. Although he said that he wasn't the Yao Guang Saint Son's opponent, he was still strong.

Swoosh!

Wu Zhongtian flashed and disappeared. On the other side of the street, a beautiful figure appeared. It was Yao Xi. She was like a blossoming divine lotus. She swayed and walked towards them.

Her figure was slender and enchanting. She was like a peerless enchantress. Her charm was moving, and her aura was holy. Her skin was crystalline, and she had an otherworldly charm that could not be profaned. She was extremely beautiful.

"No, something must have happened. Otherwise, why would they appear in the same city …" Ye Fan avoided her.

Then, he stopped the passersby and asked them if something big had happened. Everyone shook their heads, not knowing what had happened.

At this time, it was almost noon. He found a place to eat, filling his stomach as he listened to the conversations of the people. Unfortunately, he learned nothing.

This place seemed very peaceful. Nothing special had happened.

Finally, Ye Fan ate and drank to his heart's content. He wandered around the city and discovered that the Holy Land and the Clan of the Remote Antiquity had opened stone gambling houses in this ancient city.

"I might as well go to the stone gambling houses and try my luck. Maybe I can get some news." Now, he only had 2500 kilograms of Source with him. If he wanted to break into the Third Sky of the Dao Palace, he would need 10,000 kilograms.

Source was what he needed the most. He had been studying the Original Heavenly Book. Once he had a good grasp of it, he would enter the Holy City of the Northern Region.

"Cultivation is a huge problem …" Every time he thought of the massive amount of Source he needed, he felt a headache coming on.

He had obtained a divine technique that allowed him to cultivate a single mystic realm from the remains of an ancient sage. He had been trying it out these days, but his cultivation speed was far too slow.

Originally, he wasn't that eager to pursue Source, but after seeing this result, he had no choice but to reconsider. Perhaps he needed to work on both fronts. He had to cultivate a single mystic realm, but he also had to fight for Source. If he could break into the Four Extreme Mystic Realms, perhaps there would be a better choice.

"A single mystic realm isn't easy to cultivate and the effects are slow. But, I am in urgent need of strength. It looks like I need to find a way to gather Source and enter the Third Sky of the Dao Palace first."

Ye Fan looked around and finally entered the Wondrous Stone Shop that the Wavering Light Holy Land had opened. This was a garden that occupied an extremely large area. It was filled with divine blue trees, ancient vines, and lush flowers.

The scenery was beautiful and the piles of stones became a part of the garden. It didn't seem monotonous at all. It didn't look like a place for cutting stones, but more like a garden.

Ye Fan decided to keep a low profile. He didn't want to gamble with others here, so he directly bought the stones and then took them back to cut himself to avoid trouble.

The Wondrous Stone Shop of the Wavering Light Holy Land was truly large. There were 18 courtyards and the garden style made for a pleasant scenery.

Many people were gambling on stones here, but after they were dispersed to the various courtyards, it didn't seem crowded anymore. On the contrary, it made this place very tranquil. Strolling through the beautiful scenery was a form of enjoyment.

Ye Fan was flabbergasted. After entering, he circled around and discovered that there were indeed no 'commoners' here. Those who dared to enter the Holy Land's stone gambling hall all had a certain level of status.

It didn't take long before he met some so-called elders, sons of the Faction Master, and so on.

The Holy City was an extremely attractive place. The Central Plains' royal family and the Northern Plains' mighty figures often appeared there, so it was only natural that the stone gambling halls below would attract the surrounding cultivators.

Ye Fan remained silent as he moved his hands again and again. In the blink of an eye, he had entered seven courtyards. He spent 250 jins of Source and collected the hill-like stones into a pristine jade bottle.

Buying the stones like this without cutting them on the spot naturally attracted some people's attention. Some people even treated him as a fat sheep and came over to request to gamble on stones.

"Sure, no problem. However, I don't bet on small stones. If I want to bet, it must be at least 500 jins." Ye Fan replied.

500 jins of Source was the entire wealth of the lowest small sects. Even though there were many people from medium-sized sects here, they didn't dare to bet 500 jins at once.

If they bet like this, the final outcome might be decided by 10,000 jins. After all, this wasn't the Holy City and there was almost no such extravagance.

Without being disturbed, Ye Fan continued to choose materials. He bought another 2000 jins of stone and collected them into the pristine jade bottle. He then entered the thirteenth floor courtyard.

This floor was covered in vines and many stones were buried underneath. It was very quiet and there weren't many people choosing materials.

Ye Fan chose dozens of stones and then his eyes lit up. He saw a stone that was as black as ink. It was full of bumps and hollows as if it had been eaten by worms. It was very similar to black jade and could sometimes produce extremely precious strange sources.

He quickly walked over, but at this moment, another figure appeared and swept it away with divine light with a wave of his hand.

"Why did you steal my stones?!" Ye Fan was somewhat angry.

This person was in his thirties and looked very fat. His face was rosy and he wore a Daoist robe with a beaming smile on his face.

After seeing this person's appearance clearly, Ye Fan was dumbfounded. It was the wicked Daoist Duan De.

He was quite astonished. He had never thought that he would meet him here. He was even more certain that something must have happened here. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that so many people had rushed here.

This was especially the case for that damned fatty. He was extremely mysterious. Wherever he appeared, there would definitely be a great opportunity. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to appear here.

"Damned fatty, don't you know the rule of first come, first served? Why did you steal my stones?" Ye Fan gritted his teeth. Thinking of the past, he really wanted to imprint his shoe print on this damned fatty's face.

"I was the one who took it first." Duan De replied with a smile, looking harmless.

Although Ye Fan wanted to kick him a few times, he could only endure. This fatty was too extraordinary.

He had once dug up the ancestral grave of the fifth bandit Wu Dao in the northern region and was still alive and kicking. Then, he crossed the void to the southern region and was thrown into the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb by a few important figures. In the end, he entered and came out nine times and still didn't die.

Now, he crossed the void and returned to the northern region. Looking at his appearance, he was glossy and very well nourished. Clearly, he was living very comfortably.

"Little brother, didn't you say that you wouldn't bet unless it was a thousand kilograms of source? How about I bet with you?" Duan De said with a smile.

Ye Fan got angry just looking at him. No matter how he looked at him, he looked like he deserved a beating. "Okay, I'll bet with you." He couldn't have asked for more. He really wanted to win all of this fatty's underwear.

"I don't have a thousand kilograms of source, but …" Duan De said.

"But what? If you don't have a thousand kilograms of source, what are you betting with me for?!"

"If I lose, I'll sell you a piece of information worth five thousand kilograms of source." Duan De said and recited his Taoist name, looking like an enlightened expert.

"Damned fatty, I've never seen someone as greedy as you. If you lose, you still want to ask for ten thousand kilograms of source from me. Bullsh * t information. You must be lying." Ye Fan wanted to slap him. This heartless Taoist was too wicked.

"A monk doesn't lie." Duan De said solemnly, "Those with a keen sense of smell all come to Li City because there are priceless treasures here."

"What is it?" Ye Fan asked unconcernedly.

"One of the nine secrets. It's very likely that we can find it here. I know an important clue about it." The heartless Taoist said and smiled, "Do you want to bet?"

Ye Fan was shocked. He didn't believe that the damned fatty would give him valuable clues, but it was very possible that there really was one of the nine secrets here.

Otherwise, why would Ji Haoyue, Ji Ziyue, Wu Zhongtian, Yao Xi, and Duan De all appear together? Maybe the others would arrive too.

"You are …" At this moment, Yao Xi appeared. Her grace was unparalleled, like a shining pearl. She walked into the courtyard and stared at the heartless Taoist.

"You're Taoist Duan!" Yao Xi was slightly shocked but quickly regained her composure.

This was the Wondrous Stones Workshop of the Yaoguang Holy Land. It was normal for her to appear here. Ye Fan wasn't surprised.

"Boundless Celestial Being greets the saintess."

"Sister Yao Xi …" At this moment, a clear voice was heard. In another courtyard, Ji Ziyue was like a purple-clothed elf. She walked over with a smile, and beside her was Ji Haoyue who had the physique of a god.
