Watermelon stones had lines like watermelon patterns on the outside. Even if one could cut out the source, the amount would be very small. They were like melon seeds and were mostly granular. This was the origin of its name.
Of course, things were not absolute. A long time ago, someone cut out dozens of melon seeds and shook the entire city.
At this moment, there were forty-nine amethyst melon seeds. Even though they could not compare to the divine source granules, it was still shocking.
Now, it was Li Heishui's turn to laugh. Wu Ziming and the others' faces darkened. Forty thousand kilograms of source was too much.
"Noble guests, don't just stand there. Give us the source, forty thousand kilograms. Your generosity has moved us."
Ye Fan and Li Heishui walked forward and began to collect the source. They extended their hands to the people.
Wu Ziming and Li Chongtian were incomparably uncomfortable. They felt as if they had flown up to the nine heavens and were suddenly dragged into a latrine pit by a rake.
They originally wanted to tease the two and treat them as a joke, but in the end, they became the spendthrifts. For no reason, each of them had to take out three thousand kilograms of source.
It was truly infuriating. The dozen people felt white smoke rising from their heads as if they were on fire. This was too vexing.
They were just teasing two bumpkins, but in the end, they had to use up so much source. Even the air they exhaled was filled with anger.
"Damn, is there any justice in this world? Watermelon stones, they actually threw out the amethyst source. Motherf * cker, I want to beat someone up!" A disciple of a great sect mumbled with a wretched expression.
"Three thousand kilograms of source, motherf * cker, half of my fortune is gone just like that. F * cking amethyst source!" Another disciple was more boorish and angrily cursed.
Wu Ziming's face was ashen. If he and Li Chongtian hadn't been holding onto these two bumpkins, they wouldn't have been treated like donkeys for no reason.
"Brother Wu, are you sick? Why is your face even more purple than the amethyst source?" Li Heishui shook his head and moved closer. He had a simple and honest expression as he asked with concern.
"Little Hei, don't pretend to be innocent after getting a bargain!" Wu Ziming's nose was spewing fire. He felt his nose was about to bleed. He swung his sleeve and threw the three thousand kilograms of source on the ground.
They were all disciples of the great sects. They had more Sources than Tu Fei, but they only had two or three cubic meters. Today, they had to hand over one cubic meter. Everybody felt pain in their hearts.
Everyone's veins were throbbing, and they unwillingly threw Yuan to the ground. They were all people of status, and they could not deny it in front of so many people. They could not afford to lose that person.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Ye Fan personally took the 1,500 kilograms of Source Energy from the Great Xia Prince.
Then, he turned around to look at the little nun in white and said with a smile, "Little sister, do you have a spring?"
The little nun in white pouted, her big pure eyes filled with innocence. She was inexplicably dragged into this mess, completely inviting an undeserved calamity. First, she didn't make fun of the two, and second, she didn't have a gambling source, yet she actually wanted to hand over the source.
The Great Xia prince frowned, not liking to see Ye Fan smiling at his sister. He directly blocked him and threw out a Fang Yuan.
"Sizzle …"
There was a pile of Origin Energy on the ground that flickered with light. Spiritual energy surged and brilliant colors shone. This kind of sparkling thing was truly bewitching.
"Haha …" Li Heishui laughed loudly.
The dozen or so people's faces all darkened, they were filled with a belly full of anger. This was too f * cking unjust!
Ye Fan did not care about this. He rolled up his sleeves and collected all the Origin Energy. In an instant, he had obtained more than 40,000 kilograms of Origin Energy, and he was one step closer to breaking through.
"This time, I will really gamble with you. Do you dare?" Wu Ziming asked in a deep voice.
"Why not? But do you still have Origin Energy?" Ye Fan asked indifferently.
Wu Ziming opened his mouth. Just now, many people did not have enough Origin Energy, so they borrowed from each other and finally gathered 42,000 kilograms. They could not possibly bring all of their Origin Energy with them.
"How can we gamble without Origin Energy?" Now, it was Li Heishui's turn to look down on them, his dark face full of ridicule.
"Hei brat, don't be too proud!"
"Damn it, how am I black? This is called manliness, do you understand?" Li Heishui did not feel that he was black at all and loudly argued.
The surrounding people were speechless. Someone mumbled: "You are already so black, and you still say you are not black …"
"I have Origin Energy, I can gamble with you." At the scene, only the Great Xia Prince did not care about the gains and losses just now and walked forward.
"How much Origin Energy do you have?" Li Heishui asked directly.
"Three sides."
The surrounding people gasped. The Great Xia Prince was indeed confident, worthy of being one of the four great immortal empires' inheritors of Central State. He carried more than 10,000 kilograms of Origin Energy with him.
"Okay, no problem, I will gamble with you." Ye Fan smiled and nodded.
The Great Xia Prince walked like a dragon and tiger, surrounded by Dragon Qi. He was tall and straight, very intimidating. He was the first to walk towards the deep stone garden.
The little nun in white was very dissatisfied. She was inexplicably asked to go to one side by Ye Fan. She felt very wronged, it had nothing to do with her.
She wrinkled her delicate nose and clenched her small fist, waving it at Ye Fan. Then, she nimbly turned around and left with her brother.
Ye Fan and Li Heishui did not care and followed. Everyone followed, knowing that there was going to be a good show to watch.
Sky Demon Palace's Young Master Yao Yuekong also followed. He was dressed in purple and had deep eyes. He was the focus of attention. His status was comparable to the Great Xia Prince and he was surrounded by many people.
Early in the morning, the sun shone down, dyeing the edges and corners of the Daoist temple with a layer of holy light. Walking here made people feel a sense of peace, as if their bodies and minds had been baptized.
The crowd followed the stone path, passing through a few ancient forests and several Daoist temples. They walked all the way to the eighteenth level of the stone garden. Only then did the Great Xia Prince stop.
The stones here were quite expensive. One kilogram of stones was equivalent to ten kilograms of Origin Energy. Stones were more expensive than Origin Energy, and ordinary people could not afford it.
After the eighteenth level of the stone garden, the stakes were no longer pure Origin Energy, but more precious things. The cost was huge.
However, this made Ye Fan quite satisfied. If it was pure Origin Energy, he really did not know how long he would have to wait to gather what he needed. And these precious stones, if cut out of them, would definitely be extremely precious and could speed up his Origin Energy collection.
"How about here?" the Great Xia Prince asked.
"Since we're already here, why not go to the Heaven Series stone garden?" Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Hiss!"
Many people sucked in a breath of cold air. The Heaven Series stone garden's wondrous stones were frighteningly expensive. Very few people of the younger generation went there. Only the older generation with great backgrounds frequented it.
"That is a place where a stone is worth five hundred kilograms of Origin Energy. Many people went there to try their luck, but in the end, they all lost until their faces turned pale."
"There are even some stones that are only a few kilograms, but they are worth five thousand kilograms of Origin Energy. Even the Grand Elders of the various Holy Lands feel the pinch."
The surrounding people discussed. When the Heaven Series stone garden was mentioned, many people were excited and helpless. The threshold was too high, and they could not afford it at all.
Not everyone understood. Someone asked in confusion, "It's so ridiculously expensive, isn't it too frightening? There are people who go to choose stones like this?"
"You don't understand. Those are all wondrous stones. If something is cut out, it will definitely be a rare treasure with astonishing value."
"That's right, once a treasure is cut out, not to mention tens of thousands of kilograms of Origin Energy, even hundreds of thousands of kilograms of Origin Energy might not be able to block it!"
A few people who went in and out of the stone square all year round said this, causing many people to suck in a breath of cold air.
"Since that is the case, why don't the Holy Lands cut it out themselves? Why are they doing this, allowing others to choose stones?" Someone asked.
"Do you think the Holy Lands are willing to do this? They are also unable to confirm whether there are treasures inside the stones. In order to maximize their profits, they place them here and sell them at sky-high prices, allowing people to gamble."
"That is indeed the case. This is the fundamental reason for the existence of the Holy Lands' stone squares."
…
The Great Xia Prince only hesitated for a moment before happily agreeing. "Alright, since that is the case, let's go to the Heaven Series stone garden."
At this moment, the people present were in an uproar. They knew that there would definitely be a great deal today!
"Are you sure you want to go to the Heaven Series stone garden?" Wu Ziming, Li Chongtian, and the rest were all incomparably shocked.
Now it was Li Heishui's turn to be arrogant. He said calmly, "You guys have never gambled before, right? This time, you have to broaden your horizons."
"We are actually … being looked down upon by these two country bumpkins!"
Wu Ziming and the rest were as depressed as they could be. All of them were extremely furious.
"Hei brat … next time, I will decide who wins or loses with you!" One of the dozen or so people said.
"I am not at all black-hearted. Don't mention the word 'black-hearted' to me. Also, next time bring enough Origin Source. This Gambling Sage will bet until your faces turn green. "
"Hei brat, you are too insolent!"
"You are the black-hearted one, your whole family is black-hearted!" Li Heishui rolled his eyes and retorted.
There was an ancient vine in the Heaven Series stone garden. It was so thick that it made people speechless. It had a diameter of ten meters. It was like a lying dragon, crawling in all directions.
This was not a tree, it was just a vine. However, it was so thick. The Dao Yi Stone Square occupied a large area. Many Daoist temples had its vines.
There was also a well next to the ancient vine. It was made of Origin Stones, and the rope had left many marks on it. It was unknown how long this well had existed for.
"This ancient vine is tens of thousands of years old …" Li Heishui introduced it to Ye Fan.
According to legend, it was about to transform into a dragon, but it was turned into an ordinary tree by an expert. All of its Spiritual Qi passed through the ancient well and nourished the stone square.
There was another saying. In the divine city, no matter how old a plant was, it could not transform into a demon. The Spiritual Qi it gathered could only nourish the city.
Yao Yuekong, the Young Master of the Demonic Race in purple, stepped forward. He had an imposing appearance and the temperament of a Demonic God. His sharpness was restrained, and deep in his star-like eyes, one could vaguely feel that he was the only one in the world.
"Brothers, if you find any treasures later, can you consider auctioning them at my Sky Demon Treasure Palace?"
"No problem. If you find any treasures, I will definitely trouble Brother Yuekong." Since the other party had extended an olive branch, Ye Fan was naturally willing to make friends.
The Heaven Series stone garden was usually quiet. Not many people came and went, but now it suddenly became lively.
The people in the other stone gardens were alarmed. Many people gathered.
"I thought it was those eight lunatics. So it's someone else who came to the Heaven Series stone garden to choose stones."
"It's the Great Xia Prince who is gambling with others. There will be a good show to watch."
…
There were experts overseeing this place. Ordinary people couldn't enter and could only watch from the outside. Only those who chose stones could enter. After all, the stones here were too precious.
There was an old Daoist nun sitting on a praying mat. Her age couldn't be seen. She was motionless. There were four or five old people inside choosing stones.
When the Great Xia Prince, the white-robed nun, Ye Fan, and Li Heishui walked in, she was motionless like a withered old tree.
The others didn't make any noise. They surrounded the Heaven Series stone garden and watched quietly. Fortunately, there were no walls. There was only vegetation. Everything could be seen.
Ye Fan stepped into the garden and felt the aura of absolute beginning. It was very strong. It was as if he had returned to that night in the forbidden zone.
They were definitely precious stones!
Ye Fan guessed that most of these stones were transported from the forbidden zone or were extremely close to it.
"Although I have walked around the Heaven Series stone garden a few times in the past, this is my first time here." Li Heishui transmitted his voice.
Ye Fan replied with a smile, "There will be many opportunities in the future. The lands of the Great Sage are all waiting for us."
It was clearly not the first time the Great Xia Prince and the white-robed nun came here. They seemed to be very familiar with each other.
Many people didn't understand why the Great Xia Prince always brought his sister. Only Ye Fan could guess that the Great Xia Princess was in Buddhism. She might be cultivating in the secular world.
There were many green bamboos in the Heaven Series stone garden, which added a sense of tranquility.
There weren't many stones here, but they were all in their respective positions. The people of the Dao One Sacred Land would check them every day because they were too precious.
However, these stones were placed very naturally. They were either under the green bamboos, beside the gurgling spring, or between the green vines.
The stones and the scenery blended together in harmony. It was as if heaven and earth had returned to one and returned to nature.
Master Yuan, who was doing his best, followed them and kept introducing them to the people around them.
Even though Ye Fan was mentally prepared, he was still shocked. Many of the stones weren't big, but they were worth thousands of kilograms of Source.
What was even more ridiculous was that some stones were worth thousands of kilograms of Source. He couldn't bear it.
"Master, this is too ridiculous. Can anyone afford it?" Ye Fan said.
Master Source said, "There are very few young people here. They are all prepared for some old antiques. You guys can't afford it. To those people, they are willing to give everything they have if they can fight for a hope and a future from here. "
"What treasures have been cut out here?" Li Heishui asked.
"Divine Source has been cut out and some rare treasures have been peeled out. It's amazing." Master Source smiled.
"This stone is worth 50,000 kilograms of Source?!" Li Heishui exclaimed.
A stone that was so expensive that it couldn't be accepted was more than 50 kilograms. It lay quietly in the bamboo forest, and there was a Dao rhyme flowing around it.
"This is ridiculous. Are you guys selling stones? You're selling Divine Source!" Li Heishui mumbled.
"It's worth that price," Master Source said.
Li Heishui sent a voice transmission, "This stone is indeed special. It seems to have a Dao rhyme. My spiritual senses are naturally sharp, so I sensed it."
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "This stone is hard to say. Even I can't see it clearly. It might not be the same on the outside. Maybe it was cut from another main stone with a Dao rhyme. It's not easy to choose. Otherwise, why didn't anyone choose it after being here for so long?"
"That's true. The Dao rhyme is moving, but no one dares to touch it. There must be a reason. After all, the old antiques here are all more cunning than foxes." Li Heishui understood.
After Ye Fan looked at the stone materials, his heart trembled. The Holy Land's Heaven Series Stone Garden was truly extraordinary. He had to be cautious.
"This stone …" Li Heishui was shocked.
They saw another stone. It was only a foot long, but it had nine orifices. It looked like a stone person.
"Is this natural or polished?" Li Heishui asked.
"Of course, it's a natural stone. Otherwise, how could it be worth 45,000 kilograms?" Master Source said.
"Can you see anything?" Li Heishui secretly asked Ye Fan.
"I can't see through this stone. Don't touch it for now." Ye Fan shook his head.
"Have you chosen?" The Great Xia Prince asked from nearby. He had already chosen a stone. It was only seven or eight kilograms, but its price was as high as two square yuan.
"Your Highness, you only have slightly more than 5,000 kilograms. Now that you've spent two square yuan, you only have one square yuan left. How are you going to bet with us?" Li Heishui asked.
"I still have more!" The little nun in white said. Her big black eyes glanced at the two of them.
"Don't cry when you lose later …" Ye Fan teased.
The little nun in white wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes at him. The Great Xia Prince snorted coldly.
Ye Fan walked back and said, "We've also chosen. It's this one."
He chose a very large stone. It was as tall as a person, but the price was not too ridiculous. It was 1,500 kilograms.
Although it was still very expensive, compared to the stones in the garden, such a large stone was the lowest price.
Around the stone garden, the onlookers were all very shocked. The two of them had spent too much.
However, Wu Ziming still said, "Do you really think you can get rare treasures by choosing a large stone? You really don't know anything!"
Li Chongtian also sneered, "In the Heaven stone garden, choosing stones like this is a joke."
Li Heishui directly said in disdain, "You've already lost all your source, why are you still giving pointers? Learn well."
"Let's see what you can get!" Wu Ziming and Li Chongtian sneered.
"That's good to see, learn slowly!" Li Heishui laughed loudly.
Ye Fan looked at the Great Xia Prince and said, "Your Highness, this is 10,000 kilograms of source. Whoever gets the highest value wins, okay?"
"That's it, cut the stone." The Great Xia Prince nodded.
"Okay!" Ye Fan answered. This time, he was very careful. He personally cut the stone and slowly peeled off the outer layer.
"Are you confident?" Li Heishui secretly transmitted his voice.
"This stone should be able to cut out something. I feel that there is a rare item inside, but if I don't cut it out, I can't be sure." Ye Fan replied.
"Kacha!"
The outer layer slowly fell off. Ye Fan carefully cut down. This time, it was not as casual as when he threw the watermelon stones. Each cut was very careful, afraid of cutting something.
"Kacha!"
Suddenly, Ye Fan lightly slashed down again. The stone naturally split open, and a dazzling light shot out. It was extremely dazzling, and then a streak of light rushed out, flying into the sky.
"Heavens, what is that? Why is it flying?!" Many people cried out in surprise.
"It looks like a figure!"
"That's right, a person flew out?!"
Outside the Heaven stone garden, the surrounding people were in an uproar.
"Flying Immortal in the Stone!"
"It really looks like a figure!"
Ye Fan was really shocked. At the same time, the old nun also opened her eyes.
