Chapter 99: Meeting Ye Fan in the Gambling Stone Shop

Half a month later, at Daoyi Stone Workshop, the impact of the ancient divine medicine being sold for one million kilograms was still continuing to ferment.

There is an endless stream of people coming in and out of the stone shop every day. Many people choose stones in Daoyi Stone Shop with the idea that the same source mine may produce a second ancient magical medicine.

More people were attracted by the extremely high price of one million jin of source, hoping to cut out the immortal treasures in Daoyi Stone Workshop and then sell them to the wealthy Daoyi Holy Land.

In just half a month, the turnover of Daoyi Stone Workshop surpassed the total of the previous few years, which made the old Taoist priest who guarded the place very satisfied.

They even urgently brought in a batch of stones from outside for customers to choose from.

Perhaps it was because of the news that the inheritance of Emperor Wu Shi in Zishan was about to appear in the world that the number of monks coming to the Holy City increased dramatically.

In addition to the stone shop in Daoyi Holy Land, the sales of stone shops in other holy places have also increased significantly.

After all, as long as the immortal treasure is cut out, those big shots will offer a sky-high price to buy it.

The auction of Tianyao Baoque was just the beginning. Over the next few days, other large auction houses in the city also held several Saint Lord-level auctions.

Immortal treasures that were rarely seen in the past hundred years are now appearing in auction houses.

Enlightenment tea, healing pills, various holy medicines, and even powerful forbidden weapons are all sought after by those bigwigs.

Items are often sold at sky-high prices, with the lowest being 50% higher than the usual price, and many items are even sold at double the original price.

It seemed that the source measured in tens of thousands was not a source at all in the hands of those big shots, but a pile of stones.

It's really eye-opening.

Compared to those big shots who spend money lavishly, the geniuses of the younger generation seem a little well-behaved.

It didn't cause any big trouble.

Even the ancient style that had just become popular has temporarily disappeared.

One can't help but wonder whether he has already left the Holy City with one million jin of source and is living a carefree life somewhere else.

Although the young genius of source art Gu Feng disappeared, another genius of source art became famous during this period.

Tuoba Chang, who came from the Tuoba family, one of the four ancient families of source arts, made several moves during this period and displayed amazing source arts, which won him the favor of major gambling stone enthusiasts and source masters in the stone workshops of major holy places.

Some people even use this to belittle the ancient style of the source art boy.

When Gu Feng and his companions, who had disappeared for half a month, appeared, they immediately caused a sensation.

His companion Li Heishui even shouted in the street that he wanted to gamble with the genius of source art of Tuoba family in the holy land stone shop, which immediately caused a sensation.

Led by Li Heishui, a group of people walked directly towards the Ji family's stone archway.

However, Gu Feng quietly slipped away on the way to Ji's Stone Archway.

He even changed into another face and appeared in the stone archway of Daoyi Holy Land.

He also asked a disciple from Daoyi Holy Land to pass on the message that it was Taoist Changshou's brother-in-law who came to visit.

In the Three Saints Temple, Ye Fan saw the Taoist nun Yuchen, but did not see Li Zhi.

"Are you the brother-in-law of Taoist Fellow Changshou?" Taoist nun Yuchen looked at Ye Fan with a strange expression.

But Ye Fan said without blushing or panting: "It's genuine."

Little Taoist nun Yuchen suddenly laughed and said, "You are Gu Feng, right?"

Ye Fan was slightly stunned, then he changed into an ancient style and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. I just want to know why your holy land spent one million kilograms of source to buy that incomplete divine medicine."

Little Taoist Nun Yuchen shook her head and said, "It was not our holy land that wanted to buy it, but Taoist Fellow Changshou himself wanted to buy it. Our Daoyi Holy Land did not participate in this matter. The one million jin of source was all paid by Taoist Fellow Changshou."

Ye Fan was slightly shocked and asked, "Can you tell them that Yaozu's uncle is here to see you?"

Little Taoist Nun Yuchen didn't know what Ye Fan was up to, so she said, "I'm really sorry, Taoist Fellow Gu, Taoist Fellow Changshou is in seclusion temporarily. I can't contact him either."

Ye Fan said: "Please tell fellow Taoist Changshou that I came to see him, and he will understand."

Although Yuchen was a little curious about why Gu Feng looked so familiar with Li Zhi, she was not one to ask questions, so she nodded and said, "I'll tell him."

The little Taoist nun Yuchen was not very interested in the source magic genius Gu Feng.

After all, although the source technique is magical, it does not help much in the growth of Taoism. On the contrary, she feels that Li Zhi's method of comprehending the great scriptures contained in the source stone without cutting it is more mysterious.

The "Dragon Slaying Sword Technique" nurtured in the Nine-Aperture Stone Man is more valuable than the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Sword itself.

The more she comprehended the sword technique, the more the little Taoist nun Yu Chen felt that the sword technique was so mysterious that there was almost no upper limit. She could even incorporate all kinds of mysterious techniques into the sword to increase the power of the sword technique.

In Daoyi Holy Land, there are only a few secret techniques that can match this sword technique.

I really can't imagine what kind of terrifying power the God-given swordsmanship will have if the nine-orifice stone man is nurtured to maturity.

So deep down, Taoist nun Yuchen didn't like Ye Fan, the man who cut open the nine orifices of the stone man, and felt that he had ruined the practice of a living being.

Ye Fan seemed to feel that the young Taoist nun opposite him was not very close to him, so he left tactfully.

After leaving Daoyi Shifang, Ye Fan quickly reunited with Li Heishui.

Li Heishui asked curiously, "Xiao Ye, did you go on a date with the little nun from Daoyi Holy Land just now? Have you figured out the true identity of the little Taoist priest who spent a million kilograms of energy to buy the incomplete divine medicine?"

Ye Fan smiled without saying anything and said, "Let's go, it's time to make that Tuoba Chang lose his pants."

Soon the two of them entered the Ji family's stone archway.

Behind them followed a group of monks who came from all directions to watch the fun.

Shortly after Ye Fan left, Li Zhi came out of seclusion.

Seeing the little Taoist nun Yuchen who was in a daze under the big tree, Li Zhi asked directly: "Daoyou Yuchen, why didn't you go to practice?"

Little Taoist Nun Yuchen immediately came back to her senses and asked, "Fellow Taoist Changshou, did you know that Gu Feng before? He just came and left a message for you."

Ye Fan actually came to see him, which surprised Li Zhi a little, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Little Taoist Nun Yuchen said, "He said he is Yaozu's uncle. You will understand after he tells you."

Li Zhi thought to himself, this is Ye Fan telling him his true identity.

Then Li Zhi asked, "Where is he now?"

Little Taoist Nun Yuchen said, "He should have gone to the Ji family's stone archway. I heard that he was going to have a duel of source arts with Tuoba Chang from the source arts family there."

Li Zhi said, "I just came out of retreat and need to rest. Fellow Daoist Yuchen, why don't we go and join in the fun?" Little Taoist nun Yuchen shook her head and said, "You can go alone. Gambling on stones is too confusing. Now I haven't cultivated to the state of forgetfulness, so my mind should not be too volatile."

Afterwards, Li Zhi left the stone archway of Daoyi Holy Land alone.

Walking onto the street, Li Zhi directly used a small mysterious method to slightly adjust his appearance, and then followed the crowd to the Ji family stone archway.

The streets were crowded with people, all of whom were walking towards the Ji family's stone archway, as if they were afraid that they would miss the exciting source technique duel if they walked too slowly.

Li Zhi secretly used the shadow escape technique to pass through the crowd and quickly rushed to the front of the crowd.

The Ji Family Stone Archway covers a vast area, stretching out like a royal garden, with rows of strange rocks, lush trees, flowing water and pleasant scenery.

Many stones are naturally stacked, and each stone garden has its own unique scenery. Some stone gardens are misty, like the water villages in the south of the Yangtze River, and some stone gardens have swaying maple trees, like red leaves flying in the north.

Faced with the surging crowd, Ji Family Stone Archway treated it as if it were facing a formidable enemy and sent out all its disciples to maintain order.

Although they were extremely reluctant to see the geniuses of source arts duel in their own stone workshop, they could not turn anyone away since they were guests.

At this moment, Ye Fan and Li Heishui had already entered the depths of the Ji family's stone archway.

It seems that the genius of the Yuanshu family has not arrived yet.

Li Zhi was not in a hurry to enter the stone archway, but waited in the stone garden outside the stone archway.

Not long after, there was a commotion at the entrance of the stone archway. Tuoba Chang and his party arrived. The onlookers all moved to the sides to make way for them.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi stepped out from the crowd, walked in front of Tuoba Chang and the others, and walked towards the interior of the stone archway in a swagger.

"Where did this little Taoist priest come from? Does he know the rules?"

After seeing Li Zhi's performance, some people began to question it.

Wu Ziming, who was following Tuoba Chang, directly scolded Li Zhi, shouting, "Where did you come from, you wild kid? Get out of my way."

Li Zhi turned a deaf ear and continued on his way.

A strange scene immediately appeared in the crowd. Li Zhi walked in the front, and Tuoba Chang and others followed behind him, as if he brought Tuoba Chang and others to challenge the source-art genius boy Gu Feng.

Wu Ziming wanted to take action to capture Li Zhi, but Tuoba Chang simply shook his head, seeming to be very magnanimous and unwilling to bother with a small Taoist priest.

Everyone soon arrived outside the Tianzihao Stone Garden of the Ji Family Stone Archway.

There is a lake there, as blue as crystal, full of spiritual energy and very beautiful. The shore is covered with lush vegetation, dotted with pavilions and the scenery is beautiful.

The Tianzihao Stone Garden is located on a small island in the middle of a lake, with a radius of only a few hundred meters. It is covered with colorful fallen petals and loaded with flower trees. The flower rain is falling, and the petals are crystal clear and fragrant, rippling across the lake.

At this moment, the young man Gu Feng, who Ye Fan transformed into, was waiting by the lake. There were people everywhere, men and women, young and old, and it was noisy.

After seeing Li Zhi walking in front of Tuoba Chang, everyone was slightly stunned, wondering who he was.

But Li Zhi walked straight to Gu Feng and said, "I have brought the person to you. Now it's up to you."

At the same time, Li Zhi secretly sent a message to Ye Fan: "Little Ye, I haven't seen you for two years and you have made such a big fuss again. You are simply a storm maker."

Ye Fan also sent a voice message: "Li Zhi?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "It's me."

Then, he turned to Tuoba Chang and his group and said, "The Tianzi Stone Garden in the Holy Land is a sacred place, where the treasures of heaven and earth are stored. The real source technique masters should fight all the way and finally enter it. I suggest that you two start the duel from the first level of the Ji Family Stone Garden, and fight all the way until the winner is decided in the Tianzi Stone Garden."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. If it was the Saint Leader of the Ji Family who made such a suggestion, perhaps everyone would accept it.

However, Li Zhi seemed to have taken the initiative and directly announced the method of the duel between the two, which caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Little Taoist priest, who are you?" someone shouted directly.

Li Zhi jumped onto a pavilion nearby, stood on the roof and said, "Good question. Who am I? I am everyone's spokesperson. Don't you want to watch them fight all the way to the Tianzihao Stone Garden? Anyway, I want to watch it."

The audience looked at each other, while Ye Fan stared at Li Zhi's performance with wide eyes.

Li Heishui even pulled Ye Fan's sleeve and asked, "Xiao Ye, who is this little Taoist priest? Why does he seem so shameless?"

Tuoba Chang and others were also shocked. They didn't expect that this little Taoist priest would be so shameless as to represent everyone.

Just when they were about to say something, a group of old men with white hair and beards rushed over. They were all elders from various major sects. They were extremely old and often hung out in the top stone gardens of various stone archways.

After hearing Li Zhi's suggestion, one of the old men's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Okay. I support the young Taoist's suggestion."

Li Zhi continued to wave his hands and shouted at the audience: "Don't you want to watch more duels between geniuses of the source technique? Tell me, do you want to?"

"Think, think, think!"

Suddenly, a deafening shout broke out from the crowd.

Then Li Zhi smiled and said to Ye Fan and Tuoba Chang: "The audience's voice is loud and clear. Two amazing geniuses in the world of source arts, are you willing to show us your skills?"

Then Li Zhiyou shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, listen to my command and cheer for the two geniuses of the source technique."

Li Zhi shouted passionately, "Master Tuoba, you are invincible in battle and invincible in attack. You can turn stone into gold and you are the most respected among all sources."

Then he waved to the crowd and shouted: "Everyone come together and shout with me."

In an instant, thousands of spectators began to follow Li Zhi and cheer for Tuoba Chang.

The sound shook the sky and almost spread throughout half of the holy city.

Tuoba Chang, who had originally had a calm face, felt excited amid the shouting and wanted to show off his amazing source technique immediately.

Afterwards, Li Zhi continued to shout to the audience: "Next, let's cheer for the source magic genius Gu Feng."

"Ancient style, ancient style, is like a strong wind, sweeping across the world and being respected by the world." Standing on the roof of the pavilion, Li Zhi had a big flag in his hand, and he kept waving the flag and shouting.

The audience also kept shouting repeatedly, as if they were welcoming the appearance of a superstar.

"Ancient style, ancient style, is like a strong wind, sweeping across the world and being respected by the world."

Seeing this scene, Li Heishui, who was standing next to Ye Fan, felt numb all over. How could he still do this?

"Xiao Ye, what is the origin of this little Taoist priest? His method of bewitching people is so amazing."

Ye Fan covered his forehead directly and didn't dare to look at Li Zhi who was waving the flag and cheering.
