Return to Holy City

The Holy City has existed since ancient times.

The magnificent city gate tower, standing a hundred meters tall, is imposing and extremely grand. From afar, the vast ancient city gives people a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Holy City, we've finally arrived here again!" Zhou Tong smiled as he saw the city.

Upon entering the city, Zhou Tong immediately activated his divine technique to sense Ye Fan's location.

"Huh? Ye Fan isn't in the Holy City?" Zhou Tong was somewhat surprised. He then walked directly to a merchant selling refining materials not far away.

"Uncle, has anything major happened in the Holy City these past few months?" Zhou Tong casually asked the stall owner while adding some materials for refining weapons and setting up formations.

"Those past few months have been stable, but about half a month ago, another shocking gamble occurred at the Ji Family Stone Workshop. A young man named ' Gu Feng ' gambled over a million resources at the Ji Family Stone Workshop!" The stall owner said, his face beaming with excitement.

He recounted the events in great detail, as if he had witnessed them firsthand. He even described in great detail the incident where the boy named "Gu Feng" unlocked the Divine Source and the Immortal Exquisite.

While it's unclear how credible this man's words are, the details suggest that this "Gu Feng" is undoubtedly Ye Fan. Furthermore, it's not Divine Source, but rather Divine Silkworm!

"There's no mistake, this is Ye Fan!" Zhou Tong knew very well that this must be Ye Fan, who had received his guidance and made a fortune here.

Therefore, it's understandable that Ye Fan is not in the Holy City now.

He must have used this money to directly break through to the fifth level of the Dao Palace.

"Ye Fan is also nearing the point of defying fate!" Zhou Tong thought to himself, then looked at the uncle and said, "I want all these Star Stone, Mystic Ice Jade, Divine Blood Soil, Demon God Wood, and Divine Phoenix Stone!"

"Alright, 10,320 jin of Source, I'll give you a discount, 10,000 Pure Source!"

Having just acquired 20 jin of Source from the Ji Family's Northern Region Source Mine base, Zhou Tong was too lazy to haggle and simply paid and left.

After leaving the shop, Zhou Tong continued to wander around the Holy City, visiting many shops along the way and spending over a jin of Source to purchase a large quantity of materials.

However, it's still not enough; the materials needed to carve some of the more unusual Array Patterns are astonishing.

Since Zhou Tong had plenty of time, he continued searching around.

After spending two days exploring all the material shops in the Holy City, Zhou Tong grew tired of wandering around. He turned and went straight into the Jiang Family's stone archway.

With his current Dragon Transformation Realm, he is qualified to enter the Heaven-Class Garden of various stone workshops, no longer needing to rely on the Jiang Family's token as before.

"Your Jiang Family Stone Workshop is unlucky... You owe me tens of millions of jin of Source. I won't leave until you bleed a little today." Zhou Tong looked at the Jiang Family Stone Workshop and said silently to himself.

Jiang Family Stone Workshop is very quiet, especially the Heaven-Class Garden, which is as deserted as ever.

As soon as Zhou Tong entered, someone came to greet him. This was Master Yuan from Jiang Family Stone Workshop, who was in charge of introducing the stones here to guests.

Zhou Tong gave a few perfunctory replies, then immediately began to carefully examine each section.

This is not like when they made the bet back then. At that time, Zhou Tong knew which stones definitely contained treasures. But now, everything depends on Zhou Tong himself.

However, Zhou Tong has been studying the "Source Heaven Book" for several years now. Although he has not cultivated the Source Heaven Divine Eye, the Martial Heavenly Eye is also a kind of Heaven Eye. When it comes to viewing stones, it is barely half the power of the Source Heaven Divine Eye of the same level.

This Martial Heavenly Eye, possessing half the power of the Source Heaven Divine Eye, combined with his current Source Technique, is far stronger than when Ye Fan gambled heavily in the original story.

Zhou Tong examined them very carefully, pausing briefly on each stone as he used his Source Technique to investigate.

"There are quite a few good things inside the Jiang Family Stone Workshop. If they were all cut out, the Jiang Family would probably be crying their eyes out today!" Zhou Tong thought to himself. "However, who told the Jiang Family Jiang Family break their word and try to breach the contract! I'll make sure you're ruined, or at least disgusted to death. I don't care about your debts, but these treasures are mine!"

Having completed the exploration, Zhou Tong immediately began selecting stones.

He randomly picked an ordinary stone, threw it down, and indicated that he had bought it.

He sliced through the stone with his sword energy, and instantly the area shone with brilliant light. A golden Divine Source the size of a human head rolled out, hovering in the Void the Great, its radiance dazzling, like a small Sun Emperor, illuminating the Void the Great.

"Divine Source, the Divine Source has been extracted!"

"My God, Divine Source the size of a human head, worth 500,000 catties of Pure Source!"

Upon seeing this beam of light, the few people in the Heaven-Class Garden immediately rushed over, their Divine Fire with excitement as they gazed at the Divine Source suspended in the air.

"Keep selecting stones! I'm going to do a big cut today!" Zhou Tong accepted the Divine Source and continued cutting stones.

Originally, Zhou Tong wouldn't have done anything to the Jiang Family out of respect for Jiang Taixu, but after that incident, Zhou Tong had no good impression of the Jiang Family anymore. Being seen by him was just their bad luck.

Zhou Tong quietly cut the stone; he cut the stone almost immediately.

Having observed for a long time, he had a general idea of the stones inside the Jiang Family Stone Workshop.

He walked in front of the pile of stones, occasionally selecting some stones and cutting them open on the spot.

Suddenly, everyone witnessed a miracle.

Divine Source Divine Source the size of a heart, the size of a human head, and even Divine Source Divine Source of a wheel emerged from the stone, dazzling people so much that they couldn't open their eyes.

The Mutton-Fat Jade Iron, the Lunar Ice Soul, and the Silver Moon Divine Jade were all dazzling celestial treasures that made people unable to open their eyes.

There are also Phoenix Grass, Silver Peach seeds, Blood Jade Lingzhi, with waves of Spirit Herb herbs that are intoxicating.

The entire Jiang Family Stone Workshop became almost a one-man show by Zhou Tong. Although he cut several stones incorrectly along the way, leaving some with very little or no value, it didn't matter; he still made a huge profit.

Zhou Tong's stone cutting business wasn't limited to the Heaven-Class Garden; he even visited many other grades such as Dizi, Xuanzi, and Huangzi.

Anyway, the Jiang Family owes him tens of millions of jin of Source, so this time he'll make them bleed a little.

More and more people are gradually coming here.

Everyone watched Zhou Tong cutting stones with envy; there were so many good things to be had, and they were all very envious!

Only the members of the Jiang Family had ashen faces; every stone they cut was like cutting off their own flesh!

"These things are already worth tens of jin of Source, damn it!!" The person in charge of the stone workshop from the Jiang Family looked increasingly grim. Having missed so many treasures, he was sure he would be the one to take the blame.

"My God, that's incredible! He went through every single park; he's practically leaving the Jiang Family no way out!"

"Could it be Source Heaven Master? The patriarch has arrived? The Jiang Family Stone Workshop archway is doomed!"

"This guy is a werewolf, even more ruthless than a Ruthless Person. He's going to cut up all the treasures in the Jiang Family Stone Workshop!"

"When did the Jiang Family offend such a person?"

Everyone was shocked; this was a blatant attempt to offend the Jiang Family. At the same time, many people were gloating, knowing that being targeted by someone suspected to Source Heaven Master was bound to cause them great harm.

"Young friend, that's enough!" Just then, a voice reached Zhou Tong's ears.

This is a message from someone at Jiang Family Stone Workshop; they're already feeling the pressure.

"Don't worry, this is the last stone. After cutting this one, there's nothing else here that I care about!" Zhou Tong chuckled and directly chose the cheapest and largest stone in the stone workshop, which was clearly being treated as waste.

Finally, to everyone's astonishment, a jet-black divine light shot into the sky, and Zhou Tong sliced out a pitch-black object.

"My God! It's something like this!!"

"This radiance, this pattern... there's no mistake, it's Dragon Pattern Black Gold, it really is Dragon Pattern Black Gold!"

"Immortal Material exclusively for the Great Emperor, with True Dragon patterns on it. Heavens, it's a fist-sized piece, enough to forge a small weapon!"

Everyone stared intently at the Dragon Pattern Black Gold, but the Jiang Family's faces turned completely black.

"Who on earth transported this batch of stones? There's even something like Immortal Metal inside! Are they all idiots?" the person in charge of Jiang Family Stone Workshop roared inwardly. "This piece of Dragon Pattern Black Gold is so big, it must weigh at least tens of thousands of kilograms. There must be some great treasure inside this stone. Which moron transported it?"

"Well... Elder, it seems that about half a month ago, on the day your grandson was born, you got drunk and threw it in... Moreover, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold was completely wrapped in stone skin and didn't feel heavy at all," a Jiang Family cultivator answered cautiously.

If you could determine what's inside a stone just by its weight, then there would be no such thing as gambling on stones.

Many treasures remain hidden until they are cut open, and they do not reveal any weight or anything like that.

The person in charge of Jiang Family Stone Workshop: "..."
