The Red Dragon Taoist's body was withered. He was still wearing that ancient Taoist robe. He stared at the little golden creature, his eyes flickering with scarlet light.
The little thing that looked like a real dragon was scared. It hid behind the little nun in white and peeked its head out to observe.
"Xiao Guai, don't be afraid." The little nun in white comforted it and placed it on her shoulder.
Once the Red Dragon Taoist appeared, those old men who didn't have much time left in them were extremely fearful and no longer spoke casually.
The others didn't know his identity and continued to discuss. The stone garden was noisy.
"Nine Transformations of Divine Silkworm …" The Red Dragon Taoist said softly. He raised his head to look at the sky and then at the ground as if he was sensing something.
Ye Fan wanted to go over and greet him, but a scarlet light flashed. The old daoist's figure became indistinct, immediately disappearing. He didn't stay for long.
"Why are you leaving so quickly …" He wanted to borrow the might of the Red Dragon.
Li Heishui squeezed in and helped Ye Fan collect the source. There were all kinds of colorful gems on the ground that piled up.
"Thank you for your help so many times and gifting me so much source today. You're really loyal." He laughed loudly.
Wu Ziming's eyes were spitting fire. Li Chongtian's nose was almost crooked from anger. The two of them didn't say a word and gritted their teeth.
"And this old mister, you're really warm-hearted to help us so many times."
Disillusionment Palace's grand elder Li Yishui was furious. He really wanted to slap this Fei Hei brat in front of him, but he could only suppress his anger.
He was really angry. He jumped into the pit and in less than an hour, he had lost two hundred thousand kilograms of source.
Most of it was borrowed and he wouldn't be able to pay it back for the rest of his life. Thinking of this miserable situation, he almost fainted and wanted to slap himself.
"Old man, don't tremble. Anger is bad for your body. You're so smart to even think of stealing the wondrous stone. Are you afraid you won't be able to get the source?"
Li Heishui added fuel to the fire and hit him when he was down. His calm appearance was similar to Disillusionment Palace's grand elder's behavior not long ago.
There were others who gambled with Ye Fan. Their faces were ashen and full of regret.
When Tuoba Chang cut out the divine source, they felt that they would definitely win. Yet, they were still defeated. Was there still justice in this world? The heavens were deliberately trying to trick them.
The several piles of Origin Source on the ground added up to a total of one hundred forty-three thousand jin. They were like multicolored gems blooming with light.
Ye Fan waved his sleeve and collected all the Origin Stones. At this moment, many people's hearts were bleeding. They wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Brother Tuoba, according to our previous agreement, our wager is one hundred thousand kilograms of Origin Source. How are you going to give it to me?" asked Ye Fan.
Even though Tuoba Chang was the number one successor of an ancient Genesis technique clan, he had only brought a hundred thousand kilograms of Genesis source with him. He had already owed the Ji clan over three hundred thousand kilograms for the sake of cutting the stone.
"I'll carve the inscriptions for you and return them to you in a few days!"
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Why don't you write to Ji Clan and owe another hundred thousand kilograms of Origin Source, then I will use these Origin Source to gamble on stones, what do you think?"
"Alright!" Tuoba Chang gritted his teeth.
But this time, Ji Clan did not agree no matter what. They wanted to immediately send the two of them away.
Strictly speaking, Ji Clan did not suffer a huge loss. Ye Fan had invested four hundred and fifty thousand kilograms of Origin Source to cut the stone, and Tuoba Chang had done the same.
The two of them were incomparably crazy and threw out a total of five hundred thousand kilograms.
Of course, after cutting out the Divine Source and the Divine Silkworm, they earned back everything.
The biggest winner was undoubtedly Ye Fan. Two Divine Source and that little golden creature, it was over five hundred thousand kilograms of Origin Source. It could be said to be a shocking gamble.
Ye Fan squeezed out of the crowd and started to choose stones again. Because he had paid one hundred and fifty kilograms of Origin Source for the last time, he did not buy an astronomical strange stone. Instead, he chose a stone worth fifteen thousand kilograms and cut out the little golden creature.
"This is too crazy, are we going to continue cutting?"
"Don't tell me we can cut out another peerless treasure?"
Everyone's attention was focused on him. Ye Fan's every move was especially attention-grabbing as he continued to cut out world-shocking items.
The people of the Ji Clan pinched their noses and let him continue. They actually wanted to kick him out. To the Holy Stone Workshop, people like this were not welcome.
"The stone under this old tree, the stone in the vines …" Li Heishui kept pointing. He noticed that seven or eight stones had moved.
Ye Fan frowned. Stone King had a spirit, and it was purposely revealing a flaw. It was a provocation.
"If I was the Yuan Taoist Master, would you be able to run?" he said to himself.
In the end, Ye Fan shook his head. This Stone King had a spirit, so it had to contain a shocking treasure. But he could not find it yet.
He thought that even if he spent a few million kilograms of Origin Source and cut all the stones in the Heaven Stone Garden, he would not be able to find it. He suspected that Stone King was not in the Heaven Stone Garden. Perhaps it was in the lake or on the shore. It was hard to be sure.
Ye Fan chose two stones, but there was nothing special about them. He did not pay for them, though. He cut out a xenogeneic Origin.
In the end, he looked at the center of the island. There was an old tree, and there was a smooth purple stone. The guardian of the Ji Clan sat on it.
He looked at the price. If he cut that stone, he could spend ninety thousand kilograms of Origin Source.
"You can't cut that stone. It is where the elder practices." Someone stopped him.
"Didn't you tell me the price?" Li Heishui asked.
"Let them cut it." The silver-haired old man waved his hand.
"Forget it. This is where the elder meditates. It is not appropriate for us to offend him." Ye Fan shook his head.
In the end, he spent ninety thousand kilograms of Origin Source. There was no treasure, but he did not pay for it. He cut out a few big xenogeneics.
"Are we just going to give up? Are we not going to find Stone King?" Li Heishui asked.
"I want to find it, but I can't. Even if I do find it, I won't be able to keep it. It will be a holy item, and there will be bloodshed. I'll come back another day."
If the Red Dragon Taoist had not left, he would have tried. But now, he gave up on that idea.
The stone-gambling war came to an end. Ye Fan had gained a lot. Many people were jealous, but they could not do anything bad to him.
Now, many factions, including people from the Holy Lands, surrounded him and offered him an olive branch.
In the North Area, a genius with an Origin skill like this was a VIP. Many old men tried to recruit him.
Of course, the fight for the little gold creature had begun. Ordinary people could not afford to raise it, but the Holy Lands could.
"Little Friend, I have prepared a feast. How about we drink and talk later?"
"I have already booked a VIP garden in the Gold Family's Drunken Immortal Tower. Little Brother Gu must go."
…
Even Li Heishui could not escape. He was stopped by a group of old men. Their passionate gazes made his hair stand on end.
An Miaoyi, Jin Chixiao, Xiang Yifei and the others were extremely enthusiastic. They all wanted to buy the little gold fairy. Among them, Jiang Yifei and the Great Xia Prince were the most determined. It seemed they would pay any price.
"Brothers, it is not suitable for you to sell it to anyone. Why don't you auction it at our Sky Demon Treasure Tower?" Yao Yuekong suggested.
"There is no need to go there. Their commission is as high as ten percent. Little Brother Gu, don't you think it is a waste?" An older person objected.
They were worried that once the news spread, more people would come to fight. At that time, the price would be unimaginably high. Even the corpses from the source stones were treasures worth studying, let alone a living Divine Silkworm!
Ye Fan and Li Heishui discussed for a long time whether to sell the little gold fairy or not.
The Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations was invincible. Its value was immeasurable. But it was easier said than done. It was difficult to succeed even in the Immemorial Era, let alone in this era.
"I have decided, I will not sell this Divine Silkworm," Ye Fan said.
The scene was dead silent. Then, a cold killing intent permeated the air. No less than ten of them came from an unknown place.
Ye Fan's heart jumped. All the major powers were determined to get it. If he insisted on not selling, his life might be in danger.
"I want to rent it out."
As soon as he said this, the killing intent disappeared. Many people were shocked.
"It can be rented? It is a living thing. "
"This is too …"
"How can we rent it?"
Many people discussed. All the major powers calmed down and started asking questions.
"600,000 kilograms of source stone. The time limit is when it goes through its third transformation," Ye Fan said.
"Young man, you really dare to ask for such a high price. In the past, the Yuan Taoist Master said that a Divine Silkworm is worth 600,000 kilograms of source stone. You are only renting it out, yet you are asking for such a high price."
Ye Fan smiled and didn't say anything. He understood that whether it was renting or selling, the result would be the same. Once it entered the hands of these major powers, it would be impossible to hand it over.
Thus, although he said he was renting it out, he was selling it at the same price.
There were many benefits to this. Firstly, he wouldn't lose out. He could compensate with source stone. Secondly, he could rent it out. In the future, when he became stronger, he could go to them and ask for it.
"800,000 kilograms of source stone, my Grand Xia Empire is renting it!"
Suddenly, a dignified voice rang out. The group of old men turned their heads. Unknowingly, a middle-aged man had appeared in the stone garden.
He was dressed in a golden dragon robe and had a dragon crown on his head. He was tall and looked extremely majestic. One could faintly see nine dragons coiling around his body. On the dragon crown on his head, there was a dragon head formed from draconic qi.
"Royal uncle …" The Grand Xia prince and his sister went up and greeted.
He nodded. An incomparably powerful aura radiated from him, causing the group of old men to be unable to speak.
This was definitely a Saint Lord-level character. Only the silver-haired old man from the Ji Clan wasn't affected.
"Brother Ji …" The lips of the major characters from Grand Xia moved slightly. It was obvious that he was transmitting his voice.
"Okay, I won't fight with Brother Xia." The silver-haired old man nodded.
As for the others, they couldn't interject at all. In the face of such a powerful character, the old men were completely suppressed.
"Little friend, what do you think?" The major characters from the Everlasting God Dynasty asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan and Li Heishui weren't suppressed. He didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement. No matter what, he definitely couldn't protect this little golden fairy because many major factions were eyeing it covetously.
"Okay, I will gather 800,000 kilograms of source stone within three days." After saying this, the major character from the Everlasting God Dynasty disappeared.
Ye Fan had cut out a living creature that was even more precious than divine source stone. This shocked the entire Divine City. First, the Red Dragon Daoist and then the Grand Xia Emperor's uncle appeared one after another.
The little nun in white cheered. She was extremely happy.
Only then did the others let out a long sigh of relief. They could speak again.
"This is too overbearing. He's using his power to suppress us. He didn't even allow us to speak."
"Could it be that you want to reason with a Saint Lord-level character?"
Many people were dissatisfied, especially the figures from the major factions. However, there was nothing they could do. The major characters were high above them. There was no way to go against them.
By renting out the little fairy, Ye Fan had killed three birds with one stone.
Firstly, he had diverted the attention of the holy lands. Otherwise, his life would definitely be in danger. Secondly, this little golden creature was a true prodigal child. He couldn't afford to raise it at all. Doing this was equivalent to finding someone to raise it.
Lastly, by sending this little thing out like this, he could obtain a lot of source stone. In the future, when he was strong enough, he could confidently ask for it back.
Being rented out like a rare treasure, the little golden creature was very angry. It stared at Ye Fan with its big round eyes and kept baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
"Little Guai, don't be angry. You can have as much source stone as you want." The little nun in white consoled.
"Fortunately, it was rented out. Otherwise, with this little thing's speed, who knows when it will run away." Li Heishui said.
Ye Fan nodded and said, "Even if it really follows me, it will probably only think about the divine source stone. Once it gets it, it will definitely run away."
"That's right. We aren't afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves remembering and not being able to guard against it."
The two comforted themselves. They made such a decision mainly because they had no other choice. The holy lands wouldn't let them take it away.
"The divine silkworm belongs to the little nun. The little nun is …" Before Li Heishui could finish, Ye Fan hurriedly signaled for him to shut up.
The Great Xia prince and his sister had already walked behind him. Xia Yiming said with a dark expression, "Brother, I don't want to hear such words again."
"It's definitely a misunderstanding …" Li Heishui hurriedly explained.
The little golden creature and the Great Xia princess, Xia Yilin, really hit it off. Two pairs of big eyes blinked at the same time.
The stone gambling battle had completely come to an end. After a long time, the crowd dispersed.
Ye Fan and Li Heishui were surrounded. Even though the divine silkworm already had an owner, the major forces still tried their best to rope them in.
In the next few days, the two were busy with all kinds of social engagements and appeared at the banquets of the major forces.
On the third day, the important figures of the Eternal Celestial Dynasty personally delivered 800,000 kilograms of source stone. In less than two days, Tuoba Chang also returned 100,000 kilograms of source stone.
In the next few days, Ye Fan went to the stone squares of the three holy lands one after another and wantonly bought them.
However, he didn't cut out any peerless treasures. He only exchanged the pure source stone he had for xenogeneic source stone gambling.
The so-called peerless treasures could only be found by chance. He couldn't always cut them out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called them rare treasures.
At this point, Ye Fan had obtained enough source stone to break through.
He decided to temporarily leave the divine city because he had been in the limelight recently. He needed to hide and find a quiet place to break through.
At the same time, he also wanted to do one thing: help Divine King Jiang Taixu escape.
Jiang Taixu had taught him the Battle Saint Technique. He couldn't forget this kindness, and he had been thinking about how to repay it.
Now, the holy lands were going to use extreme holy weapons to break Purple Mountain. If Divine King Jiang Taixu was still alive, perhaps he could be saved. He needed to send the news to the Jiang family.
Was Little Tingting doing well? How was Uncle Jiang? He had always missed him.
He had been in the northern region for a long time, but he hadn't been close to the Jiang family's territory.
Outside the divine city, Li Heishui sent Ye Fan off. He asked, "Brother, when are you coming back?"
"I'll be back soon. I still need more source stone!" Ye Fan said.
Li Heishui informed Zhou Yuan, "Come back early, the eight lunatics and several members of the ancient Genesis technique clans have arrived. They want to have a Genesis technique showdown with you."
"Little brother Ancient Wind, are you leaving the divine city? Miaoyi is going on a long journey. Let's go together." An Miaoyi walked out of the divine city.
