The bamboo forest was dark green and the spirit spring surged. It was peaceful and tranquil.
The stone platform was tall and faced the sun, gathering the essence of the sun. Ye Fan stood on it, facing the sunlight as he observed the stone golem. His expression was focused as he slowly turned the strange stone in a serious and careful manner.
Suddenly, his expression changed. When the stone golem's right eye was illuminated by the sunlight, he seemed to see a trace of the essence of the sun flash. Was this... an illusion? He could not be sure because it had been a long time since he faced the sun. He suspected that he had been blinded.
Ye Fan did not move. He held the nine orifice stone golem and faced the sun, his mind highly focused as he carefully observed.
At this moment, everyone knew that this delicate and pretty youth was a Genesis technique expert. His various techniques were very particular and unheard of.
"Could it be a youth from a Genesis technique clan? His methods are very special and unseen."
"True Genesis technique experts rely 50% on luck and 50% on strength when choosing a stone. This youth most likely has a great background."
"Didn't a few people from a Genesis technique clan come last time? They also saw the nine orifice stone golem. Their techniques are very different from his. They are definitely not from the same clan."
On the side, a group of old men were discussing softly, their eyes burning with passion. If this youth was a Genesis technique genius, he would undoubtedly be worth roping in.
Outside the Heaven stone garden, although there were many people gathered, it was very quiet. Ever since Ye Fan was about to move the nine orifice stone golem, there was no sound of conversation. Everyone was quietly watching.
Even Jiang Yifei, who was dressed in white, was waiting with an attentive look on his face. Even his boots were white and spotless, looking exceptionally elegant and scholarly.
An Miaoyi's black hair danced in the wind. Her eyes moved as she also observed Ye Fan. Her flawless body was like snow on a flowering tree, moving one's heart.
Ye Fan stood still for a full quarter of an hour and did not observe any abnormalities. The stone golem's right eye was very dry. There was no essence of the sun coming in or out, and there was no lively aura.
Suddenly, Ye Fan moved. Specks of light appeared on his right hand. They were multicolored and extremely gorgeous, giving off a dreamy feeling.
This wasn't the technique of a cultivator, but rather, a profound Genesis magic that could gather wood power, absorb the essence of the sun, and draw the Spiritual Essence of Heaven and Earth.
Ye Fan's right hand moved agilely, and the colorful lights entered his nine orifices. His eyes sparkled with starlight as he stared at the stone man without blinking.
"He is indeed a Genesis technique expert. I've never seen such strange techniques and mysterious methods before."
"Can this Genesis technique find out what's inside the stone?"
…
At the side, these elders all revealed looks of shock. They were filled with anticipation, and they all wanted to see what other wondrous methods he had.
Ye Fan did not release any waves of divine power. This was the first time he was so serious because the nine-holed stone man was too special.
After a long time, the multicolored lights penetrated the nine orifices, but there were no changes. The strange stone was simple and natural, still the same.
Ye Fan frowned and lightly jumped down from the stone platform, no longer facing the sunlight to observe. These techniques were useless.
Li Heishui said, "Can't you see through it? Just don't touch it. I heard that this stone has been here for many years. Even though some people thought it was valuable, they gave up at the last moment."
Purple clothed Yao Yuekong also reminded, "Little brother, don't touch it if you're not confident. Many Genesis technique experts have seen it, but they all left in the end."
Ye Fan said calmly, "I'll take a look."
He placed the stone man on the grass and carefully measured its body. Then, he began to quickly move his fingers, pointing downwards.
One could clearly see inch-long streaks of golden light plunging into some special spots, falling down like grains of gold.
"Golden Touch!" the white-haired Master Yuan cried out in surprise, standing out from the crowd.
"What, it really is the extremely famous Genesis technique, Turning Rock Into Gold Hand? Even experts from aristocratic families might not be able to use it! "Some of the older people exclaimed.
"Is this for real? This young man is using the Golden Touch? This … unbelievable, he really is a Genesis technique genius! "
The surrounding older people revealed shocked expressions. They had heard of this Genesis technique, but had never seen anyone use it.
Outside the Heaven Series Stone Garden, Wu Ziming, Li Chongtian, and the rest looked at each other in dismay. They felt as bitter as if they had bitten a goldthread.
While the Great Xia prince was shocked, he paid even more attention. He stood at the very front, almost touching the stone man.
Purple clothed Yao Yuekong also bent down and observed closely. He felt that Ye Fan's Genesis technique was more extraordinary than he had imagined. If he could form a good relationship with him, it would be greatly beneficial to the Sky Demon Treasure Tower in the future.
A total of one hundred and eight inch-long golden lights were shot into the stone man by Ye Fan. This was not divine power, so there was no need to worry about cracking the stone.
In the crowd, Master Yuan exclaimed, "It's connected. It's the complete Golden Touch!"
Ye Fan was very focused and was not affected by the onlookers. He began to hit the stone rhythmically and listened carefully. He only stopped after a long time.
"How is it?" Li Heishui asked nervously. With so many people paying such a high price to choose this stone material, it would be hard for anyone to calm down.
"I'm still not sure, but I'll choose it. I'll buy it!" When Ye Fan spat out the word 'buy', Stone Garden was no longer calm. It erupted with noise. Everyone began to discuss among themselves.
The stone man was an extremely valuable stone. It had been placed here for many years, but no one dared to touch it. It had almost become the treasure of the Dao Yi Stone Square.
Today, someone was finally going to cut the stone. Everyone was somewhat impatient, wanting to see just what was inside the stone being.
"Today's trip was indeed worth it. Our wish of many years will be fulfilled!" Some of the older people sighed.
"Heroes come from the young. Many people have seen this stone. Even people from the Genesis technique families have come, but they did not buy it in the end."
The stone garden was in an uproar. Everyone was discussing their opinions.
Wu Ziming sneered, "I think he's going to be unlucky. So many experts have seriously studied it and none of them are optimistic about it. He actually dared to buy it, hehe!"
Li Chongtian also mocked, "Let's see how he ends up when he falls and bleeds!"
Inside the stone garden, Li Heishui frowned. "You can't see through this stone and cannot be sure. Why do you still want to buy it?"
"What do you mean by stone gambling? The word 'gamble' is placed in front of the stone. If even the Genesis technique is useless, then you can only take a gamble."
Ye Fan had studied the Origin Heavenly Book, but his Genesis technique had not reached the perfect level yet. He could not compare to the Yuan Taoist Master. Indeed, he could not see through the stone, but he could faintly sense something unusual.
He felt that it was definitely not an ordinary stone, but he did not know if there would be a peerless treasure. He did not want to miss it because a few people from the Genesis technique families had come not long ago. He was afraid that even more powerful people would be attracted.
"Good, good, good!" Yuan Taoist Master was the most excited. His body trembled. He had guarded this garden for decades. He was not a cultivator, but he had always wanted to see someone cut open the stone man and see what was inside.
Even the calmest Taoist nun revealed a strange expression. She was no longer as indifferent as before.
The Taoist girl from the Dao Yi Holy Land also appeared. It was obvious that she also wanted to see.
The moment Ye Fan took out his knife, all sound disappeared. The huge stone garden was silent except for the fervent gazes.
The entire stone garden was so quiet that one could hear the falling leaves. Ye Fan began to cut the stone. He was cautious and careful. His movements were very small, and his knife was steady and accurate.
"Ka!"
When the first sound rang out, everyone was shocked. This sound indicated that the Dao Yi Stone Square's treasure was finally going to be opened!
Stone chips flew everywhere. Ye Fan concentrated on moving his knife. He did not hold back and was very fast. In a short while, the stone man's arm was cut open.
In the end, there was nothing but stone powder on the ground. There was not even an ordinary Source stone. It could be seen that the inside of the stone man was very ordinary. It was white and did not contain any rare stone.
"Oh no!" Li Heishui knew that things were not good.
"As expected, no wonder those Genesis technique experts shook their heads and gave up. This nine-holed stone man looks special, but the inside is white stone. There is definitely no Source stone!"
Some old people were very disappointed. They had been looking forward to this stone for many years. Today, someone finally cut it open. They did not expect it to be so ordinary. There was nothing special about it.
Some old people even suspected that this was a trap set by the Dao Yi Holy Land. They wanted to trick people with profound Genesis techniques.
"Fortunately, I resisted the impulse and didn't buy this piece of stone back then."
Ye Fan turned a deaf ear to these voices and continued to move his knife. Not long after, the stone man's legs were also cut off.
"Sigh, I have been unable to let go of this stone for so many years. I didn't expect it to be like this."
"If there was a peerless treasure inside, there would have been a Flying Immortal phenomenon. Now there is not even a fluctuation. How disappointing."
These old people all shook their heads.
The most nervous was Li Heishui. This was a stone with a sky-high price. If he could not cut out anything, all the previous divine medicines would have to be used to fill the hole.
Ye Fan did not say anything. He continued to swing his knife and cut open the stone man's abdomen. It was still white. Then, he cut open the head. Finally, he put the knife on the chest. Stone chips flew everywhere, but there was still nothing.
Li Heishui broke out in a cold sweat. He was full of hope, but now he was extremely disappointed.
At this moment, there was still a fist-sized stone on the ground. It was located at the heart. In addition, there was no cut on the forehead.
Now, the outside of the stone garden was no longer calm. No one was optimistic about this nine-holed stone man. It had been cut until now, and it was still white. It was almost impossible for such a stone to contain a rare treasure.
"Haha …" Wu Ziming laughed. "You overestimate yourself. After so many years, all the experts shook their heads and left. No one chose it. Do you really think you are a Genesis technique master?!"
Li Chongtian also gloated. "There are always some people who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. They think they can guide the world, but in the end, they are nothing!"
"Haha …"
The group of them were all laughing. The outside of the stone garden was noisy.
Some were sarcastic, some were ridiculing, and some were sympathetic. There were all kinds of expressions on their faces.
Now, no one was quiet. It was noisy. No one was optimistic about the nine-holed stone man.
"Hehe …" A deep and meaningful sneer sounded nearby. The supreme elder of the Disillusionment Palace, Li Yishui, had also appeared.
At this moment, even Yao Yuekong and the Great Xia Prince were very disappointed. They were silent and doubtful whether they had underestimated Ye Fan.
In the distance, Jiang Yifei frowned and no longer paid attention to this place.
An Miaoyi also shook her head slightly. The expression on her beautiful and flawless face became calm.
A group of old people quietly watched beside Ye Fan. They did not say anything.
The beautiful young Taoist girl stood at the side. She was still very calm and did not say anything.
"Dammit, this is really annoying!" Li Heishui was very depressed. He glared at Wu Ziming, Li Chongtian and the others in the distance.
At this moment, only the little nun in white was still squatting on the ground. She looked very innocent and was still curiously staring at the fist-sized stone. She blinked her big eyes and said, "Why are you not cutting it?"
Ye Fan was unperturbed. He stood up and shouted loudly, "Is there anyone willing to bet with me?"
