Chapter 85: Gambling on Stones
Li Chongtian introduced to the people present in a loud voice: "Everyone, the man before you is Tuoba Chang, the shining star of the Tuoba family, a family of ancient source arts. He found the legendary divine source in a deeply buried ancient mine three years ago, and his name is known far and wide!" His words were full of admiration for Tuoba Chang, and it was obvious that he was building momentum for the upcoming showdown.

"Oh? Are you planning to compete with that popular young friend Gu Feng?" An old man was enjoying the fun.

"How dare you compare your rustic tricks with the orthodox source tricks of the Tuoba family?" Wu Ziming sneered disdainfully. He looked at Ye Fan with a provocative gleam in his eyes.

The enemy's supporting actors Wu Ziming and Li Chongtian were sparing no effort to mock us, using sarcastic and mean words. Our Li Heishui finally couldn't stand it anymore, and strode out of the crowd, shouting angrily: "Bah! You two are nothing but clowns, and you dare to act so arrogantly here!"

"You black boy, you have no idea how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. Are you looking for death?" Li Chongtian's face darkened and he shouted sternly.

Ye Fan hurriedly pulled Li Heishui to his side, and our supporting actor finally appeared!

"Are you two going to bring this Tuoba Chang to deliver the source? Do you have enough for 100,000 jin of source? If it's less than this amount, go back to where you came from, my brother won't accept it!"

Everyone by the lake burst into laughter when they heard this. The two groups were full of tension from the start, and it was obvious that this duel of source techniques would be extremely intense.

Li Chongtian sneered disdainfully: "One hundred thousand jin of source? Brother Tuoba certainly has it. But you guys, don't dream about it!"

Tuoba Chang looked calm, as if all the noise had nothing to do with him. He stood there quietly, gazing deeply at the island in the lake, letting the petals fall and dance in the breeze, but he seemed to have his own world in his heart. Ye Fan had previously spent 80,000 kilograms of source stone to cut out a seemingly useless instrument. Although this scene made Tuoba Chang shake his head slightly, he was disdainful in his heart, but he knew that the way of gambling on stones was unpredictable, and even if the source technique was high, it was inevitable that he would make mistakes.

He did not underestimate Ye Fan. The fact that he was invited by these two little guys also made him want to compete.

However, he did not despise Ye Fan. In fact, the reason why he was invited by these two clowns was because he recognized Ye Fan's strength. Tuoba Chang had the idea of ​​fighting with Ye Fan in his heart. He wanted to see what was so special about this young man and whether he could compete with him in the duel of source arts.

"It would be good if you have 100,000 jin of source." Li Heishui said with a hint of indifference, fearing that the other party would get something for nothing without any source, and it would be difficult to gain anything.

Wu Ziming smiled calmly and said, "Do you really think you can take it away? In my opinion, the source in you can just be contributed."

"That's right, Brother Tuoba's grandfather's 300th birthday is coming up, and you have presented him with a great gift." Li Chongtian laughed.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's have a real source duel and see who will deliver the source." Li Heishui said.

Everyone nearby was looking forward to it. The two groups were both very confident and were fighting head-on. Moreover, they were all superb masters of source arts. It was very likely that they would really carve out some amazing treasures today.

"That's right, a duel of source techniques, cutting out rare treasures, let us open our eyes."

"Everything is false. The truth will be revealed by cutting the stone. Let's fight now."

Tuoba Chang, who had been watching calmly, finally turned his gaze to Ye Fan. He said calmly, "Then, let's get started!"

"Haha... are these two young men going to carve out another rare treasure this time?" an old man laughed.

Another old man came forward with great interest and introduced to Ye Fan and Tuoba Chang: "There are many good things here. Some stones have been here for many years. We are reluctant to buy them because we think they have the potential to become rare treasures. Maybe they can be comparable to the stones that Brother Gu just cut!"

Hearing them say this, the people in Ji Family Stone Workshop's faces suddenly changed, and they cursed secretly, thinking that these old guys were just bored!

Under the guidance of these experienced and discerning old men, Ye Fan and Tuoba Chang began to walk around the stone shop to select strange stones. They walked through rows of stones of various shapes and finally stood opposite each other under several ancient flower trees. The two looked calm and were ready for the source art duel.

Tuoba Chang said: "Things less than rare and precious will not count. If you lose, in addition to the 100,000 jin of source, even the divine objects you cut out will be handed over to the other party."

"That's exactly what I want." Ye Fan nodded.

At this moment, the two were carefully selecting stones. The atmosphere on the scene was so tense that it was suffocating. Everyone's eyes were focused on this tense confrontation. However, only Zixia stood aside alone, with a dazed look on her face. She unconsciously stroked the Fairy Linglong in her hand, and her heart was full of bitterness: "Ye Hei! I finally suppressed the waves in my heart with the ruthless method, and you did this again, you are just teasing me on purpose!" Zixia wanted to vomit blood now, not emotionally, but physically!

She gritted her teeth and said silently in her heart: "I will kill him again!" With this whisper, her emotions were forced back to calmness again, and her eyes refocused on the duel between the two people.

Tuoba Chang took the lead. His right hand instantly turned into a red-gold color, as dazzling as a blazing fire. He strode forward and touched the dozen or so strange stones that he had already set his eyes on one by one.

The red-gold divine hand gave him an extraordinary divine sense, as if he could see through everything. As he touched, the surface of the stones glowed with a layer of light golden light, closely connected with his hand, as if they had become one.

At this moment, a miracle happened. Under the influence of the red gold divine hand, one piece of strange stone after another gradually became transparent, and everything inside them was clearly displayed before everyone's eyes.

Everyone was shocked, because the source stone has always been mysterious, and even the most powerful monks could not sense what is hidden inside it. However, in front of Tuoba Chang's red gold divine hand, these source stones seemed to have lost all their secrets.

"Once the method is revealed, there is no secret in the stone. It really lives up to its reputation."

"The magic of the Tuoba clan is truly astonishing. It can even make the strange stone invisible!"

"Tuoba Chang is truly a genius. He has achieved such success at such a young age. He will surely become the sixth Heavenly Source Master in the Northern Territory in the future."

Finally, Tuoba Chang fixed his eyes on the Dragon Head Stone. His red-gold right hand gently rested on the Dragon Head Stone, tightly connected to it. However, surprisingly, the Dragon Head Stone did not become transparent like other stones, but remained calm, with only a trace of dragon energy leaking out of it.

"This strange stone must have its own special features, which can avoid my inspection." Tuoba Chang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and pressed his right hand more tightly against the dragon head of the dragon head stone. The rays of light flowed in his hand, as if the hand of a god was resurrecting.

Suddenly, a treasure wheel appeared under his right hand, surrounded by five colors and auspicious colors. With a flash of light, Tuoba Chang quickly retreated, and the Yuantian treasure wheel stuck tightly to his palm, the light became more blazing, like a five-colored divine sun, so dazzling that people could not look directly at it.

However, despite the blazing light, no one closed their eyes. They stared with their eyes wide open, emitting lightning-like rays of light, trying to capture what was imprinted on the Yuantian Treasure Wheel.

"Dragon! Oh my god, there's a dragon!"

The entire Tianzihao Sacred Stone Garden was in an uproar, and everyone screamed when they saw this scene.

"There is actually a dragon imprinted in the Yuantian Treasure Wheel!" "Is this true? There is really a dragon in the Dragon Head Stone?!"

"Xiao Ye, you must cut out a rare treasure in the world, otherwise we will be in trouble!" Li Heishui nervously conveyed the message to Ye Fan in secret.

"A dragon, huh! What can you use to win? We'll wait for you and see how you cry when you see the coffin!" Wu Ziming mocked and laughed out loud.

However, in this atmosphere full of tension and banter, Ye Fan seemed unusually calm, like a light cloud, leisurely passing through the flowers and trees. His fingers were as crystal clear as jade, gently brushing, without producing any brilliance or strange vision, only the natural beauty of a spring flowing among the pines and on the stones.

Suddenly, two rays of purple light shot out from Ye Fan's eyes, sharp and deep, as if they could see through all illusions, and shot straight towards a source stone shaped like a stone pier.

"Oh my God! This is Yuantian Divine Awareness!" someone exclaimed.

"The Eye of Delusion-Breaking is a magical skill unique to Master Yuan Tian! This kind of divine perception can see through everything in the stone. It is simply a method that defies the heavens!"

Tuoba Chang's face turned stern, and an indescribable shock surged in his heart: "This... This is definitely the magic skill mastered by Yuan Tianshi! This Gu Feng must have obtained the "Yuan Tianshu"! I must win this magic skill! It's a lucky break!"

"Brother Gufeng chose the Feixian Stone! No, no, why did he choose such an ordinary stone?" The old men were all confused.

"Is he planning to give up?" Everyone began to whisper, speculating on Ye Fan's intentions.

Just now, when Ye Fan was looking at the Yuhua Feixian Stone, he used his source of divine sense to explore the stone and actually glimpsed a hint of extraordinary wonders in it, which shocked him.

This stone can definitely cut out something extraordinary! Ye Fan was certain.

Seeing this, Wu Ziming couldn't help but sneer: "It's just a trick! In the end, they chose an ordinary stone just to save some money."

Li Chongtian also laughed and said, "Even if he can really carve out some rare treasures, how can it be compared with Brother Tuoba's Dragon Head Stone? I think he'd better admit defeat as soon as possible, so as not to spend a huge amount of money to buy stones."

"Please help me, seniors, to seal this space." Ye Fan said solemnly without paying any attention.

Everyone present was surprised. Could it be that Gu Feng could really cut out a rare treasure? You know, Tuoba Chang had already projected a dragon shadow through the source technique, which almost foreshadowed victory.

"Cut the stone! Cut the stone quickly!" People in the crowd kept urging, hoping to know immediately what rare and precious treasure had been unearthed.

"You come first." Ye Fan made a gesture of invitation.

Tuoba Chang said nothing more, and took out a dozen knives of various shapes from the five-colored animal skin bag. He carefully selected a silver dragon knife, which was shining brightly, and held it tightly in his hand.

Then, he began to work, cutting one knife after another. Each cut was extremely precise, stone chips flew everywhere, and the dragon head was gradually peeled off.

At this moment, the whole scene was extremely quiet. Everyone held their breath and watched this gambling stone duel intently.

Suddenly, a crisp "ding" sound echoed in everyone's ears like a dragon's roar. The silver dragon knife hung in the air, and a mysterious aura emanated from the dragon head stone.

"Dragon energy! Dragon energy is rushing out!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

From the cut dragon head stone, wisps of dragon-shaped gas slowly overflowed and surrounded everyone, giving people a weird and shocking feeling.

With the last slight sound, the millstone-sized dragon head stone was completely peeled off. In addition to the stone powder on the ground, there was only a dark green round bead the size of a bowl. Although this round bead did not emit any brilliance, there were dragon auras lingering in it, as if something was about to break out of its shell.

"This is... a dragon ball?!" the old men who were gambling on stones exclaimed. They were well-informed and recognized the extraordinary features of this round bead at a glance.

Tuoba Chang held the dragon ball in his hand and did not continue cutting it. He turned back to look at Ye Fan, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and said, "It's your turn."

Ye Fan began to cut the stone carefully. He held a crystal clear jade sword in both hands and each sword cut off the stone skin accurately, peeling off layer by layer.

In the distance, everyone became nervous because they noticed that his posture was strange, as if he was about to leave at any time.

The Great Xia prince stood aside and couldn't help but admire: "Brother Gu's source technique is indeed extraordinary, but why would he do such a thing?"

An Miaoyi smiled faintly and said nothing. Her eyes moved back and forth between Ye Fan and Tuoba Chang, finally settling on Zixia, who looked a little dull.

Just as everyone was holding their breath, Ye Fan's jade sword chopped down again, and another piece of stone skin was accurately cut off. Suddenly, a blazing divine light shot out from the stone, so bright and dazzling that people could not look directly at it.

"A divine source as big as half a human head!" An experienced old man who gambled on stones exclaimed, his voice full of shock.

However, what was even more incredible was that the stone ball actually moved. It seemed to have life and it suddenly rushed into the sky, trying to escape from this confined space.

"boom!"

The stone ball hit the light curtain that had been set up long ago, making a dull sound. If everyone hadn't already blocked this space, the stone ball might have been able to escape.

The divine source can hang in the air without sinking, but it can never fly away. It is definitely a rare treasure in the world, and there may be other treasures inside.

In the Tianzihao Stone Garden, a group of respected old men took action one after another. They did not launch an attack, but used soft divine light to suppress the stone ball firmly, and then sealed it, fixing it steadily in mid-air.

"Come on! Continue!" they said at the same time.
