118: Betting
He set his sights on a half-human-tall stone.
The appearance of this stone wasn't great either.
It was pitted and uneven, as if gnawed by spirit insects.
At a glance, it was an old antique in this stone gambling room, likely untouched for a long time.
At this moment, Liu Sheng, on the other side, also selected a stone.
The two stones happened to be placed next to each other.
"Kid, I don't believe you'll have such good luck every time. Since we've met, do you want to gamble on something?"
Liu Sheng patted the stone next to him, clearly intending to regain his Face from earlier. His arrogance was rampant, and he was full of confidence.
"Oh? What do you want to gamble on?"
Wang Yusheng narrowed his eyes, not showing any weakness.
"Of course, we'll gamble on the Source. Whoever cuts out something more valuable from their stone wins. Twenty thousand catties a round!"
"Do you dare?" Liu Sheng's eyes showed disdain, and his tone was scornful.
"Gamble, then. I'm just afraid you won't honor it. Can you even produce 200,000 catties?"
Wang Yusheng chuckled.
Facing someone who actively provoked him like this, he didn't bother to show a good Face.
Moreover, he had just cut out Divine Source, proving his Legacy, and was now also full of confidence.
"However, 200,000 catties is naturally nothing in the eyes of my Liu Family."
"The Liu Family?"
"Could it be that Liu Family from Tianyuan City?"
"Nonsense, if not that one, then which? To be able to move freely in the stone gambling room, it must be a Source Art Family. Besides that Liu Family, which other Liu Family could it be?"
"It is said that their Family Head's attainment is extremely high, having already entered the ranks of Earth Masters."
"So it's a descendant of a Source Earth Master. No wonder he's so confident. But in that case, this young man is definitely going to lose."
"That's hard to say. Since stone gambling involves 'gambling,' there's a large element of luck."
The Cultivators around, who were selecting stones, were all drawn by their gamble.
Upon learning the young man's identity, they were even less optimistic about Wang Yusheng.
For a time, the entire gambling house was abuzz with discussion.
"What Liu Family? I've never heard of it. This Young Master only recognizes the Family of a Source Celestial Master."
"200,000 catties is also not worth mentioning to my Wang Family."
Wang Yusheng's words were arrogant, showing no politeness towards the Liu Family.
Although the opponent was an Earth Master, his Legacy was that of a Celestial Master.
Although there was only a one-word difference between the two, the gap was like heaven and earth.
The former was only somewhat famous in the Dao of finding Source.
The latter, however, could determine the major affairs of mountains and rivers, determine the Dragon Veins of the world; finding Source was merely a basic method, and he also possessed various Source-finding secret arts. His pair of Divine Eyes of Breaking Illusion could see through all stones in the world.
This mere Liu Family...
Wang Yusheng truly didn't put them in his eyes.
He stood with his hands behind his back, exuding the demeanor of a Great Master in his every move.
Clearly, he possessed a certain bearing.
Wang Dong watched from the side with interest.
200,000 catties of spiritual Source was indeed nothing to him.
Losing it wouldn't matter.
However, Wang Yusheng's fearless personality was quite interesting.
Not to mention being capable of great things, he was definitely more promising than most people.
Could it be that because this kid was so bold, he went and dug up the grave of a Source Celestial Master?
Wang Dong felt it was very possible.
He couldn't help but stroke his chin and let out a light chuckle.
"Only recognizes Source Celestial Masters? What big talk."
"I'm too lazy to waste more words with you. Let's start cutting the stone! To let you see clearly, this Young Master has decided to personally wield the knife!"
"The gap between you and me is like a firefly and the bright moon. If I don't make you lose convinced today, this Young Master will write his name upside down."
Liu Sheng closed his folding fan and took out an ancient carving knife from his spatial Magical Artifact.
He began to cut the stone in front of him.
Clang!
Metal and stone collided.
The next moment, the outer skin of the stone began to peel off in layers.
It was very even.
His technique was extremely skilled, making everyone nod secretly.
When the stone skin had peeled off by 3/4, a brilliant radiance burst forth, illuminating the entire gambling house as bright as day.
"Source has appeared! Could this stance mean another Divine Source?"
"How is that possible? Can Divine Source be cut out one after another in a single day?"
"That's hard to say, but if it's the size of a fist, the people from Yaochi Holy Land will probably turn green."
"Not that many possibilities. After all, they've been screened. We cut with our eyes closed, but they let them go with their eyes open."
The Cultivators watching all showed excitement at this scene and looked inside the stone cut by Liu Sheng.
Inside the grayish-brown stone skin, a crystal-clear Source surface appeared.
It sparkled under the sunlight.
However, although there was a flowing aura of Divine Source above it, the feeling it gave was not that pure.
In terms of quality, it was far inferior to the one Wang Yusheng had cut out.
"What a pity! Although this thing is not small, most of its golden essence has been lost. It can't compare to the previous one."
"It's already good, much better than ordinary ones. A piece this size, about 50,000 catties."
"Not cheap! This young fellow is indeed a descendant of an Earth Master, he has some stuff..."
Everyone discussed animatedly, and when they looked at Liu Sheng, they couldn't help but sigh.
As expected of a Source Art Family.
The Source Art attainment of the descendants they nurtured was also remarkable.
He could casually pick a stone and cut out Divine Source.
It's just that most of its essence had been lost, so it was almost like saying he had bad luck.
"How unlucky!" Liu Sheng was a little disappointed that this Divine Source had lost most of its essence, but even so, it was enough. He looked disdainful and sneered, "Kid, it's your turn. Although my piece lost a lot of divine substance, it's still worth about 50,000 catties of spiritual Source. Quickly cut open your broken stone and let this Young Master take a look."
Wang Yusheng glanced at him.
"I thought it was a Disciple from some Source Art Family. This cutting technique is clumsy and incompetent. It was originally a Divine Source, but you cut it into trash."
"Simply ridiculous, only knowing how to show off."
"You!"
Liu Sheng immediately flew into a rage.
His Family knew its own affairs.
This Divine Source could indeed have been cut open perfectly intact.
It was just that his technique had some problems, causing the divine substance to be lost when he cut it open.
None of the people present had noticed it, but he didn't expect this kid to reveal it in one sentence.
For a moment, he was both shocked and angry.
Wang Yusheng didn't care, instead, he chuckled.
"Watch carefully, learn well. This Young Master will teach you once."
Wang Yusheng stopped speaking, stepped forward, and light flowed between his ten fingers, glowing brightly.
His hands instantly became crystal clear like jade, faintly transparent, allowing the blood vessels and lines inside to be seen.
Bang! Bang!
He had no carving knife, only using his hands with an incredibly mysterious technique to begin deconstructing the stone.
Each pat he made sounded like waves crashing on the shore, emitting the continuous roar of surging waves.
"This... this is Source Hand Deciphering!"
Someone knowledgeable couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
