160: Open

Taking advantage of Wang Yusheng's current popularity, the Grand Elder seized the opportunity to open the Gambling Stone Workshop of Yaochi Holy Land.

Many new stone materials were also transported out and placed within the Gambling Stone Workshop.

In an instant, the entire Gambling Stone Workshop became incredibly splendid.

Upon learning that the Gambling Stone Workshop of Yaochi Holy Land had opened, the crowd, who had been lingering in the Divine City's Gambling Stone Workshop, all showed expressions of pleasant surprise.

"Their Gambling Stone Workshop is finally open! Their stone materials have always been the best. I wonder if anything big will come out this time."

"Let's go, quickly! Maybe we can still catch the good stuff."

"They are an old power in the Southern Domain, having occupied a portion of the Primordial Ancient Mine even before the great war. Now that it's open again, it must be extraordinary."

For a time, Cultivators in the Divine City surged and moved.

They all rushed towards the direction of Yaochi Holy Land.

Even those who were still in other Gambling Stone Workshops, cutting stones, hurried towards Yaochi Holy Land.

In a short time, many gambling stones were left unoccupied.

The important figures who learned of all this, even if furious, were helpless.

The quality of their stone materials indeed could not compare to that of Yaochi Holy Land.

After all, Yaochi Holy Land has always had connections with the mysterious Source Celestial Master lineage since ancient times and possesses various secret techniques.

Whether it's for finding or exploring sources, they have extremely sophisticated methods.

How could newcomers like them compare?

At the same time, on the other side.

Wang Dong was wandering around the Divine City, accompanied by Wang Jiayao.

Suddenly, he saw everyone rushing in one direction.

Wang Jiayao showed a curious expression, "Clan Chief, look, what's happening over there? Why is everyone rushing that way? Is some divine treasure of heaven and earth appearing? Let's go take a look too."

Before Wang Dong could speak, Wang Jiayao continued.

"Maybe those two things we're looking for will be there."

Wang Jiayao was quite attentive to the two newly born Prodigies.

Wang Dong gazed in that direction.

After a moment, he nodded and followed the crowd.

The human tide was surging, and the entire city was bustling, causing road congestion for a time.

Countless people couldn't advance an inch.

"Sigh, this is truly exaggerated. How vast is the Divine City? Yet such a scene can occur. In the future, besides Yaochi Holy Land, no other place will be able to achieve this, right?"

"That's certainly true. Is it because their stone materials are the best? Even if the price is a bit expensive, some divine treasures cannot be cut out elsewhere."

"While that's true, this queue is too long. By the time it's my turn, who knows how long that will be."

"Hehe! I heard that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi also came this time."

...Everyone discussed animatedly.

At the mention of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, everyone's faces showed a knowing expression.

For a time, even amidst the immense crowding, everyone seemed to have found a common topic, and it was incredibly harmonious.

Wang Dong and Wang Jiayao were naturally among the crowd.

Wang Jiayao, quite unaccustomed to the crowded masses, said with some discomfort,

"How long do we have to wait with so many people?"

By the time it was their turn, it was estimated that everything inside would have already been cut.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong checked the cultivation of the surrounding Cultivators, and after a brief thought, he released his Aura without reservation.

Immediately, an extremely powerful Aura instantly spread among the Cultivators.

The Cultivators nearby were instantly pushed away. Of course, Wang Dong had restrained his strength, so no casualties were caused.

It was just that the Cultivators he pushed away, and the people around them,

All showed expressions of suppressed anger, forced to move to the sides and make a path for the two.

Wang Dong's green robes fluttered without wind, and he calmly stepped forward.

One hand was behind his back, the other in front of him, exuding the demeanor of a Grandmaster.

The onlookers couldn't help but gape. This was an even grander display than some Holy Lands.

Wang Jiayao also had her mouth slightly agape, but when she thought of the Clan Chief's actions and how the people around him dared not speak out despite their anger, she couldn't help but show a smile.

Ultimately, the strong are revered.

And now, the Wang family could be considered powerful.

But even if the people around them no longer blocked the way, the journey was not short.

By the time the two arrived at the Gambling Stone Workshop, it was already an hour later.

After their tokens were verified, the two finally managed to enter.

The Gambling Stone Workshop in the Divine City was different from the one Wang Dong had seen last time.

This Gambling Stone Workshop was undoubtedly more exquisite.

Pavilions and towers were arranged in an orderly fashion, and there were even elegant private rooms and small buildings, with glimpses of ancient forests from time to time.

Compared to the previous one, which only had a single stone platform, this Gambling Stone Workshop had a unique Immortal Aura.

The Gambling Stone Workshop was divided into three levels.

The lowest level was naturally the 'Sun' character garden, where the stone materials were the most expensive.

Of course, being expensive had its advantages; it was generally the easiest place to cut out good goods.

Following that were the 'Moon' character garden and the 'Star' character garden.

The quality decreased in order.

After briefly understanding the rules, Wang Dong, without any hesitation, headed straight for the 'Sun' character garden.

The two divine treasures he sought were far from what could be found in the 'Moon' character garden and the subsequent 'Star' character garden.

It could only be said that it was out of necessity, though Wang Dong himself was also quite curious.

Wang Jiayao followed behind him.

At this moment, this garden was already filled with people, mostly powerful elders, each exuding a profound Aura.

There were also some young Prodigies, but their positions were further away.

And they weren't there for gambling on stones.

Each of them looked with expressions, some clear, some veiled, towards a direction not far away.

And there, it was an open-air elegant pavilion.

On the stone platform in the very center, there were several Eight Immortals stone tables.

One of them was where Yao Yue, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, was seated.

The reputation of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi for her beauty spread throughout the entire Eastern Barren Lands, and some even secretly compiled a 'Rouge List'.

She was one of the most powerful contenders for the top spot, possessing unparalleled beauty.

The reason she wasn't definitively ranked first was mainly because she always wore a veil.

That hazy beauty made everyone realize that the face behind the veil must be stunningly beautiful, yet no one had ever seen it.

Precisely because of this, many people had reservations about her being ranked first.

However, despite this, she still forcefully secured one of the top few positions.

Sitting next to her were only a few other Grand Elders of Yaochi Holy Land.

This time, the opening of the Gambling Stone Workshop and the sale of stone materials were all presided over by them.

However, at this moment, they were not in a hurry to begin, but instead, all their gazes fell upon a young man.

This young man was not old, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, giving him a dashing and elegant demeanor.

Many of the older generation also followed suit, turning their gazes to him, but they were somewhat puzzled.

They couldn't understand why this young man would attract the attention of the people from Yaochi Holy Land.

Just then, this young man, carrying a stone coffin on his back, slowly walked into the center of the 'Sun' character garden.
