Hearing this, Li Yun couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Due to his interference, the current plot of the world of Shrouding the World has somewhat deviated from the original work.

Ye Fan's cultivation level improved faster, and he arrived in the Northern Territory two months earlier.

Therefore, although the sound of the Wushi Bell has not been heard from the Purple Mountain today, the various holy places have still received news of the inheritance of the Wushi Emperor.

This couldn't help but make Li Yun feel puzzled.

He remembered that he had just told the Jiang family the news that Jiang Taixu was trapped in Zishan not long ago. Now, the holy places have received information that Zishan is suspected to have the inheritance of Emperor Wu Shi.

The timing of these two events was too coincidental, making it hard for Li Yun not to suspect that the Jiang family did it on purpose.

They probably didn't know the relationship between Zishan and Wushi Great Emperor, they just wanted to lead the Saint Lords to attack Zishan so that they could take the opportunity to rescue the Divine King Jiang Taixu...

If this is true, then there is no need for Li Yun to join in the fun.

Thinking of this, Li Yun rejected the invitation from Saint Lord Yaoguang.

But he did not say he was dead. He just expressed his distrust of the news and wanted to get more information.

Naturally, Saint Lord Yaoguang was unwilling to reveal more information to Li Yun before he expressed his support for them.

The two sides were unable to reach a consensus, so the matter naturally came to a temporary end.

After leaving the Tianque in the center of the holy city, Li Yun turned into a ray of golden light and flew towards the ancient street.

There, monks and pedestrians came and went constantly, palaces were lined up on both sides of the ancient street, and stone archways of various sizes were everywhere.

As the most distinctive place in the Northern Territory, the flow of people visiting the various stone archways and stone gardens is second to none in the Holy City.

The stone archway where Ye Fan, Ji Ziyue, Li Heishui and Heihuang were at the moment could only be ranked in the middle among the many stone archways in the Holy City.

But even so, the area here is still extremely large, and there are a large number of cultivators coming and going, and their cultivation is stronger than Ye Fan's.

When Li Yun found them, the three men and the dog had already confronted a young monk from the Palace of Illusion.

They signed a betting agreement, which stipulated that if the other party offered a higher source value, they would have to pay double the source.

The gambling stone duel between the two groups of young monks attracted everyone's attention. Many guests gathered around and watched with interest.

Li Yun stood silently behind everyone, witnessing Ye Fan's first gambling on stones after practicing the Yuantian Divine Art.

Ye Fan was seen wandering among the numerous stones, squatting down from time to time to carefully observe the texture.

In the end, he picked out a watermelon stone of extremely poor quality.

The so-called watermelon stone means that the surface of the stone has a texture similar to watermelon stripes.

Textures like this are often caused by cracks inside the stone, and are therefore of inferior quality. Even if you can really get the source from it, the number will not be large, and the size will be as small as a melon seed.

Naturally, the disciples of the Illusion Palace who were betting against Ye Fan laughed loudly and kept mocking Ye Fan's eyes.

But in the end, he was still slapped in the face by Ye Fan's classic move.

Because Ye Fan really cut out the source from the watermelon stone, and it was a recorded alien source.

It is as thin as a leaf, green all over, and as bright as jade, very much like a green leaf, hence the name green leaf stone.

For a foreign source like this, one piece can be equivalent to ten kilograms of source.

Ye Fan cut out thirteen slices from this watermelon stone, which is one hundred and thirty kilograms of source, far exceeding the thirty-six kilograms of source that the disciple of the Illusion Palace had opened.

Li Heishui laughed loudly and couldn't help but mock the disciple of Huanmie Palace.

The other party's face looked extremely ugly, but in front of everyone, he did not dare to regret it. He could only take out 260 kilograms of source and give it to Ye Fan, then left the store in disappointment.

"Okay, okay, Senior God was right about you!"

Li Heishui patted Ye Fan's shoulder hard, his face full of indescribable excitement.

With such an astonishing level of source art, plus the capital that Senior God got for free from the Holy Land, Li Heishui could almost foresee that in the next few days, the various top stone workshops in the Holy City would definitely not be peaceful.

Just then, Li Yun came over with a smile.

Li Heishui quickly put away the smile on his face and asked, "Senior Divine Lord, when are we going to visit the Tianzihao Stone Archway in the Holy Land?"

Li Yun turned to look at Ye Fan and said with a smile: "Let's go now without further delay."

At this time, Ye Fan had already tested the powerful effect of the superposition of Yuantian Divine Art and the Insight Through Walls.

Nothing could escape his eyes, and all the internal textures and hidden sources were clearly visible.

Now, Ye Fan is very confident in his abilities.

Hearing Li Yun's words, he immediately asked, "Which one should we go to first?"

Li Yun smiled and said, "Daoyi Holy Land, Tianzihao Stone Archway."

…

…

The Holy City is jointly controlled by the Holy Land and the ancient family, and the Tianzi Stone Archways therein also belong to the various Holy Lands.

In these top-notch stone workshops, one can find the most precious stones and divine sources, but they have a special rule, which is that the purchased stones cannot be taken away but can only be cut on the spot in the stone workshop.

This is because the holy places had once suffered setbacks at the hands of a certain Yuan Tianshi.

That Yuan Tianshi relied on the Yuan Tian magic to sweep through all the major Tianzi stone archways in the holy city, making all the holy places embarrassed.

Since then, Tianzihao Stone Archway has had this additional rule.

Firstly, one can buy the rare and precious source on the spot after it is cut out to prevent the outflow of the divine source. Secondly, one can observe the process of cutting high-quality stones and summarize the stone quality and source technique experience.

In fact, since the establishment of this rule, the level of source arts in the holy places has indeed improved a lot.

At least in the past few hundred years, the number of people who got rich by picking up bargains in the Tianzihao Stone Workshop has greatly decreased.

The value of any high-quality stone recorded in past records is basically the same as the source stored inside, and the difference will not exceed 20% on average.

Relying on the accumulated experience, each Tianzihao Stone Workshop has become an important source of income for the holy places.

But now, these golden money trees are about to attract the professional woodcutters they fear most.

After arriving at the Tianzihao Stone Square in Daoyi Holy Land, Li Yun realized that he had underestimated the huge amount of money that could be spent on gambling on stones.

The precious stones in those Tianzihao stone workshops are actually worth more than tens of thousands of kilograms each.

With just 50,000 jin of resources, you can only buy the cheapest piece of precious stone among many.

Upon discovering this, Li Yun couldn't help but frown and asked Ye Fan via voice transmission whether there was anything in the stone.

A divine light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, and the Source of Heavenly Divine Eye and [Seeing Through Walls] were used together.

In an instant, many stones were like being opened, and the internal structures and textures were revealed before his eyes.

Not only that, the clothes of the onlookers also became transparent.

Among all people, only Li Yun and Ji Ziyue can still maintain their original appearance in Ye Fan's eyes.

This is because Li Yun has long known the effect of Yuantian Divine Eye, so he has been on guard against it. Whether it is the clothes on his body or the purple dress on Ji Ziyue, there are restrictions set by the Earthly Evil Magical Power [Qi Ban].

With Ye Fan's level of cultivation, it would be impossible for him to see through the restrictions set by Li Yun unless he used his supernatural powers to the fullest extent.

And when the ban is seen through, Li Yun will notice Ye Fan's spying.

By then, he would definitely teach this pervert a profound lesson.

Fortunately, Ye Fan's attention was not on the see-through clothes.

He just looked at Li Yun and Ji Ziyue in surprise, and then turned his gaze to the low-grade stone in front of him.

Since 50,000 jin of resources can only buy the top-grade stone that is bound to lose money, they will first make some money with the medium and low-grade stones.

Ye Fan tried his hand at it by first picking out a piece of his favorite watermelon stone to practice on, and then cutting out a total of forty-nine exotic purple crystal sources from it.

One such exotic purple crystal source is enough to equal thirty kilograms of pure source, and forty-nine of them would be nearly fifteen hundred kilograms.

This piece of watermelon stone is worth only ten kilograms, but the profit margin is as much as one hundred and fifty times.

Seeing this scene, the smile on the face of the elder of Daoyi Holy Land who was waiting nearby gradually disappeared.

All the disciples of Daoyi Holy Land, as well as the many distinguished guests who were watching, such as the Young Master of Tianyao Palace, the Prince of Xia Dynasty in Zhongzhou, etc., realized that this senior Divine Lord and his disciples seemed to have bad intentions.

After Ye Fan tried his hand, he began to move towards the medium-sized stone area. The value of the stones there basically ranged from five thousand jin to tens of thousands of jin. The average value of the sources that could be mined was also within this range.

Looking at the black-haired boy who was walking slowly and calmly, the onlookers made way for him.

A little nun in white, whose temperament was as clear as a spring, was reluctant to give way.

But the heroic young man next to him, the prince from the Immortal Dynasty of Zhongzhou, recognized Li Yun's face. He immediately took his sister away and looked at Li Yun behind Ye Fan with an apologetic look on his face.

"My sister is rude, I hope Senior Divine Lord can forgive me!"

“…It’s okay.”

Li Yun didn't even look at him, just replied lightly, and then followed Ye Fan to the medium stone area.

Ji Ziyue followed Li Yun, looking at Ye Fan's actions with curiosity.

Ye Fan was seen squatting in front of a number of stones, with a divine light shining in his eyes, which kept scanning the stones.

Soon, he stood up and pointed at the stones and said, "I want this, this, and that!"

Ye Fan ordered three pieces of stone in a row, with a total price of about 24,000 kilograms of pure source.

The elder of Daoyi Holy Land nearby quickly directed people to move the stones out, and then watched Ye Fan's actions with a serious face.

Ye Fan first cut two pieces of stone the size of a human head and obtained about 8,000 kilograms worth of exotic source from them. Compared with the total price of 20,000 kilograms of the two stones, it can be said to be a huge loss.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers all looked disappointed.

But Li Yun didn't care at all and only looked at the third stone.

Ye Fan took a deep breath and finally started to cut the third piece of stone.

“Puff——”

As soon as it is cut open, a refreshing fragrance like orchid and musk spreads out.

The crowd watching smelled the fragrance and immediately became perked up.

Li Yun waved his sleeves and mobilized the power of heaven and earth without hesitation. He used the art of summoning to perfectly peel off the objects hidden in the stone. Then he used a large amount of spiritual energy to seal it off and put it into a jade box held by an elder of Daoyi Holy Land next to him.

The elder of Daoyi Holy Land was first astonished at Li Yun's magical power that left no trace, and then he came to his senses and looked at the jade box in his palm.

Inside the jade box, there lay a pink fruit the size of a fist. Its flesh was crystal clear and had a rich fruity aroma. One sip of it would fill one's mouth with fragrance.

When the identity of the pink fruit was recognized, the elders of Daoyi Holy Land turned green.

His lips trembled for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "The human essence fruit can be used to refine a divine pill. One pill can extend one's life by about fifty to one hundred years. It is worth... Senior Divine Lord, I, Daoyi Holy Land, am willing to give you 150,000 kilograms of pure source!"
