56: Chapter 56 Don't worry, you won't lose out.

After settling these disciples, Sect Leader Long Baili breathed a sigh of relief.

"Remember, do not let the prosperity of Luoyang City make you forget that you are disciples about to enter the inner sect. If you delay our journey, I will not wait for you."

Under the gaze of many disciples, Sect Leader Long Baili explained, then brushed off his sleeves and said, "You may rest on your own; I am going to wander around the Source Stone Market."

"Headmaster Long, this disciple also wishes to accompany you to see the world!" Yun Zhe, who was standing to the side, suddenly said.

"Oh? If you want to follow me, you are all welcome to come; the others may rest on their own." Sect Leader Long Baili was in a good mood today, having obtained such a good item as the Heavenly Spirit Marrow, so he said this casually and turned to walk out the door.

Surprisingly, this time, Ye Xuan, Zhao Erhu, Yun Zhe, and two other unfamiliar disciples followed behind.

"Junior Brother Yun is also interested in stone gambling?" Ye Xuan looked at Yun Zhe with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "Also, after the last inner sect selection ended, did you not go home to visit your parents?"

"Compared to Xianyang City in our Great Qin Dynasty, Luoyang City in the Great Zhou Dynasty is far more prosperous and vast. I have never seen stone gambling before, so naturally, I want to experience it."

Yun Zhe responded neither humbly nor arrogantly. "If I cannot succeed in my cultivation, going back would only invite ridicule. With the three-year agreement with Lin Qingxue approaching, I must strive hard in my cultivation and cannot afford to fail."

"Heh, you just got lucky enough to reach the standard for entering the inner sect and you dare to say such arrogant words." Zhao Erhu, standing beside them, sneered.

Unexpectedly, Yun Zhe and Ye Xuan did not pay any attention to Zhao Erhu, which made Zhao Erhu resent them even more in his heart.

Source Stone Gambling Market.

"Come, come, take a look, take a look! Don't miss out as you pass by! The source stones here were dug out from ancient ruins; they are absolutely worth the price!"

"They can yield various King-grade medicines and Emperor-grade medicines! Don't miss out as you pass by!"

A sloppily dressed old man sat at his stall, waving his hands to greet the passing cultivators without any regard for his image, hoping to find a buyer who knew their goods.

"Don't miss out as you pass by! The source stones here are absolutely top-quality; you'll definitely make a profit if you buy them!"

There were at least thirty source stone stalls, each claiming their own, boasting that their goods were genuine.

People were coming and going, it was extremely lively.

"Wow, that young man actually cut out something good! Could such brilliant light be Divine Source?"

Ye Xuan and his group followed the surprised voice and looked over. They saw a young cultivator holding a cocoon of light that emitted a holy radiance, his face full of wild joy, treating the item in his arms as a supreme treasure.

When the light dissipated, an ordinary source stone was revealed before everyone.

"Tch... I thought it was something special, turns out it's just a source stone worth three thousand spirit stones. What use is this... This young man spent ten thousand spirit stones just to buy it... What a pity, what a pity..."

Another elderly cultivator shook his head, instantly losing interest in watching the spectacle.

One cut to riches, one cut to poverty.

This is the essence of it.

The whole way was incredibly lively.

Walking at the very front, Sect Leader Long Baili arrived at a stall and asked the old stall owner in black, "Senior, how many spirit stones for this source stone?"

Ye Xuan did not dare to miss the opportunity and immediately looked at the stall owner.

[Name: Zhang Fan] [Realm: Earth Profound Realm, 5th Layer Late Stage] [Constitution: Ice Spirit Body (Purple)] [Luck: Insidious and Cunning (Purple), Unaware of Current Events (Black)] [Fate: "Evil God" (Supporting Character)] [Favorability: 40] [Life Fate: Grew up in Luoyang City since childhood, born into the lowly secular Zhang family.] [Broke through to the Spirit Profound Realm at twenty, reached the peak of the Spirit Profound Realm at fifty, and after occasional fortuitous encounters, broke through to the Earth Profound Realm at one hundred.] [A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Fan makes a bet with Yun Zhe, and ends up losing the bet to Yun Zhe. Yun Zhe cuts out two supreme treasures: one is the ancient phoenix divine armor, and the other is the Yuantian Book. In the end, the stall owner loses his entire stall and leaves in disgrace.]

"So he is an Earth Profound Realm cultivator; no wonder this old codger is so polite." The doubt in Ye Xuan's heart dissipated, but his suspicions were confirmed.

Following the protagonist, one can definitely find opportunities directly without having to run around everywhere.

"This guest has a good eye. This source stone only requires thirty thousand spirit stones to take home." The old man in black, Zhang Fan, flattered Sect Leader Long Baili before stating the price.

After all, not just anyone can wear the robes of a Cangqiong Holy Land elder. The entire Great Zhou Dynasty revolves around the Cangqiong Holy Land, so the people of Luoyang City view elders of the Cangqiong Holy Land as fat sheep.

"Heh, Senior is joking. How could this source stone possibly sell for such a price? This junior was just looking." Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Long Baili immediately realized he was being played, shook his head, and intended to leave.

The stall owner in black, Zhang Fan, hurriedly called out to stop Sect Leader Long Baili and said, "Wait, wait! Three thousand spirit stones, take this source stone."

"No need, you should sell that source stone to someone else."

"Young friend, one thousand, just one thousand, take it." The stall owner in black, Zhang Fan, became completely anxious and immediately spoke up.

He finally had a fat sheep today; how could he be willing to let it go?

The Cangqiong Holy Land elders he had encountered in the past were all filthy rich. Even if they bought something and didn't cut anything out, they wouldn't care in the slightest. Why was this elder in front of him like this?

Even so, that was why the stall owner in black, Zhang Fan, was so flustered.

Despite such temptation, Sect Leader Long Baili was completely unmoved. He still shook his head, no longer interested in that black source stone, and instead walked to other stall owners to start picking source stones.

"Heh, is it this source stone?" Ye Xuan immediately sensed the impending opportunity. The corners of his mouth curled up, and then he stepped forward, looking at the stall owner in black and saying, "Old sir, you just said it could be taken for only one thousand. You aren't trying to deceive this junior, are you?"

"Naturally, this is a fair trade. At least in the Great Zhou market, no one dares to go against it."

The stall owner in black, Zhang Fan, smiled, counted the one hundred high-grade spirit stones in his hand, and then nodded. "Young friend, take it."

Seeing this, Yun Zhe, who had originally had some ideas, immediately dismissed the thought and planned to look at other source stones.

"Yun Zhe, buy that blood-red source stone next to it." Jasmine suddenly spoke up.

"Ah?" Yun Zhe responded, feeling depressed. "Jasmine, are you really sure you want me to buy this blood-red source stone? Did you see it wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Jasmine glared fiercely at Yun Zhe and whispered comfortingly, "Hmph, rest assured, you won't lose out."

"That blood-red source stone should contain a decent spirit treasure inside; it's quite suitable for you right now."

Hearing Jasmine's explanation, Yun Zhe's eyes lit up. "Alright!"

"Senior, what is the price for this source stone of yours?"

Yun Zhe also stepped forward, pointing to the blood-red source stone at the feet of the stall owner in black, Zhang Fan, and asked.

"Forget it, seeing as you are also a member of the Cangqiong Holy Land, I'll sell this source stone to you for one thousand spirit stones as well." The stall owner in black, Zhang Fan, did not dare to randomly set a price this time and offered a fair price.

"Alright, Senior, please count the spirit stones; I'll take this source stone."

As Yun Zhe said this, he took out one hundred high-grade spirit stones from his spirit ring and handed them to the stall owner in black.

"Alright, young friend, keep the source stone safe." The stall owner in black was very happy to have sold two source stones right after opening for business today, and he kindly reminded him.
