After everything was ready, the three of them went to bed early.
Early the next morning.
Before they could leave the inn, they saw several soldiers walking in arrogantly.
"Who's the boss?"
one soldier asked.
The innkeeper stepped forward with a smile on his face, "Master Jun, I am the owner of this shop."
"There is an order from above. Today Jade Pool Immortal Maiden is coming to Kaiyang City to choose Source Ore. People waiting around are not allowed to wander on the street. Your store will be closed immediately!"
The soldier scolded coldly.
At this time Gu Sheng had just come down from upstairs. After hearing this, he was stunned.
"Jade Pool Immortal Maiden?"
Gu Sheng was slightly startled.
He didn't expect Jade Pool Immortal Maiden to be so grand.
As soon as she came, the entire Kaiyang City was blocked.
While Gu Sheng was stunned, the store owner had already taken out the extremely fast and exquisite Source Ore from the counter.
"Master Jun, it's not easy to run a small business. You see, closing the business..."
The shop owner was all smiles.
Then, the soldier handed these pieces of Source Ore to his boss, "Boss, look..."
The leading soldier glanced at the pieces of Source Ore and seemed quite satisfied.
"Okay, the store will be open, but remember to follow orders, you know?"
The leading soldier said coldly.
"Don't worry, the store will definitely comply with the instructions."
The shop owner still kept the smile on his face.
"Let's go!"
Then, the leading soldier gave an order, and all the men who followed him left.
Seeing them leaving, the store owner's smiling smile immediately turned gloomy.
"Damn it! You know how to plunder us plain-headed people! Bah! What the hell!"
The shop owner cursed fiercely.
Gu Sheng looked at the store owner's uncertain face and felt secretly wary.
He stepped forward and asked politely, "Boss, this Jade Pool Immortal Maiden is quite grand. I don't know why it is so violent?"
"Hmph!"
The shop owner glanced sideways at Gu Sheng, snorted coldly, and then put on a flattering smile.
"It's not because Jade Pool Holy Land has a high status and rich wealth."
At this point, his eyes suddenly became lustful and narrowed, as if he was recalling something beautiful.
"Let me tell you, that Jade Pool Saintess is one of the most stunning in the world, and cannot be compared to us mere mortals."
After saying that, the store owner laughed.
Gu Sheng Seeing his appearance, he immediately felt sick like a greasy middle-aged man.
"That's it. Thank you boss for informing me."
Gu Sheng Although he was disgusted, he still nodded politely.
"You foreigners, it's best to stay calm. After today, you can do whatever you like."
The shop owner waved his hand impatiently and turned to do other things.
Er Gou looked at the shop owner's back and couldn't help but tease Gu Sheng: "Brother Sheng, look at how beautiful Jade Pool Saintess is. How about I help you matchmaker and let Jade Pool Immortal Maiden be your sister-in-law?"
"Um..."
Gu Sheng looked at Er Gou speechlessly, shook his head and said, "You guy, what are you thinking about all day long? The most important thing for us now is to keep a low profile and not cause trouble."
"That's right, Brother Sheng is right."
Shi Lou also echoed, "The most important thing for us now is safety and not to cause unnecessary complications."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and then had breakfast in the inn.
"We are so lucky to be able to meet Jade Pool Immortal Maiden by following Brother Sheng."
Er Gou said with a wink while sitting at the dining table.
Gu Sheng could hear that there was a bit of ridicule in his words.
Gu Sheng shook his head helplessly, knowing that Er Gou was always dishonest, but at the moment he was more concerned about Jade Pool Holy Land's movements.
If they were also after Earth Spirit Source Stone, it would be really troublesome.
"Stop making trouble, Er Gou, we'd better be careful. This Jade Pool Holy Land's pomp is probably not just for showing off."
Gu Sheng reminded.
"Brother Sheng is right, we should not act rashly."
Shi Lou on the side said in a deep voice.
After breakfast, the three of them walked out of the inn.
There were already fewer pedestrians on the street. Apparently, the arrival of Jade Pool Holy Land made many people choose to avoid it.
Gu Sheng They walked slowly along the street, their eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time.
If you encounter a patrolling soldier, just take a detour to avoid getting into trouble.
"Look at the formation over there."
Er Gou suddenly pointed forward and said.
On the street ahead, groups of maids and guards in gorgeous costumes were busy.
They are making final preparations for the arrival of Jade Pool Saintess.
Both sides of the street were already decorated with lanterns and silks, and the entire street was decorated like a festival.
"It seems that Jade Pool Holy Land is serious this time."
Gu Sheng looked solemn in his eyes.
"Brother Sheng, do you think Jade Pool Saintess is really as beautiful as the fairy in the legend?"
Er Gou asked curiously.
Gu Sheng did not answer, his eyes fixed on the movement ahead.
He knew that if Jade Pool Saintess came at this time, the situation might be different from before.
You must know that in this world where the jungle prevails, every action of a major force may trigger a series of chain reactions.
"We'd better find a place to hide and wait until Jade Pool Saintess's incident is over."
Shi Lou suggested.
Gu Sheng nodded, and the three of them quickly walked back.
After a while, they returned to the door of the inn.
Gu Sheng looked up and saw a few hundred meters away from the inn, where there were more people.
The ban is not as strict as here, it is simply two scenes in one city.
It happened that the waiter in the store saw Gu Sheng and the others.
"My grandfathers, why are you so disobedient and still go out to walk around as you please?"
The waiter said with a speechless expression.
Gu Sheng smiled, "It's okay, aren't we doing well?"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he pointed to the lively scene over there and said, "What's going on over there? So many people?"
"That's Gambling Stone House over there, which can also be regarded as a distribution center for Source Ore."
The waiter turned his head and took a look and said directly.
"One street, two scenes, what's going on?"
Gu Sheng continued to ask with some curiosity.
"That side is Azure Cloud Sect's territory, but this side is different. It belongs to Shaking Light Holy Land's main territory. That's why a street is like this."
The waiter replied.
"So that's it."
Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
"Huh? If that's the case, can't we go there and have fun?"
Er Gou said, pulling Gu Sheng and Shi Lou towards that side.
"Hey? You guys! You can come back early and don't go over there."
The waiter reminded loudly.
"Got it!"
Er Gou replied without looking back.
Soon, Gu Sheng and the three of them stood at the door of Gambling Stone House.
They saw the flow of people coming in and out, with expressions of excitement or disappointment on everyone's face.
Clearly, this is a place full of opportunities and risks.
The facade of Gambling Stone House is decorated with splendor and splendor, and two huge lanterns hang at the door.
If it is night, it will definitely light up the entire facade.
"Are we really going in?"
Shi Lou asked hesitantly.
As an honest mountain man who was born and raised in the mountains, he did not want to enter this so-called high-end situation.
"What are you afraid of? It's just Gambling Stone House. Maybe we can get a good stone."
Er Gou said nonchalantly.
Er Gou has a carefree personality, which contrasts with Shi Lou's Xia Ming.
It was the desire for the unknown and wealth that shone in his eyes.
Gu Sheng didn't speak, his eyes stayed on Gambling Stone House's sign for a moment, and then nodded firmly.
"Let's go! Go in and take a look!"
After saying that, the three of them were about to step in, but were stopped by several burly thugs.
"You guys, stop!"
The leading thug looked Gu Sheng and the others up and down with disdain in his eyes.
"Looking at how poorly you are dressed, is this a place where you can come?"
Gu Sheng frowned, not liking this feeling of being looked down upon.
"We're just here to take a look, okay?"
Er Gou stepped forward and said.
"Look? Do you have money to buy Source Ore?"
The leading thug sneered, "Don't waste our time, get out of here!"
At this moment, a young man in rich clothes walked over surrounded by several entourages.
The thugs immediately changed their faces and came forward with flattering smiles on their faces.
"Young master, you are here, please come in quickly, please come in quickly."
The lead thug nodded and bowed.
The young man just nodded slightly and walked straight into Gambling Stone House without even looking at Gu Sheng and the others.
Gu Sheng Looking at the back of the young man, an inexplicable anger surged in his heart.
"Who is that?"
Gu Sheng asked the leading thug.
The leading thug glanced at Gu Sheng with disdain, "Humph, you don't even know our eldest son Azure Cloud Sect, you really have never seen the world."
"That's right! He is our God of Wealth, so you poor guys should stop being an eyesore here."
The younger brother on the side also echoed.
Gu Sheng's face darkened. He was about to use his divine power to teach these thugs a lesson, but he suppressed his anger again.
When he was in the inn before, he had sensed through his spiritual consciousness that Earth Spirit Source Stone was not here.
They come here just for entertainment.
It wouldn't be worth it if someone from the Azure Cloud Sect found out about using divine power for these trivial matters.
"Let's go."
Gu Sheng said coldly.
Then, he pulled Er Gou and Shi Lou and turned around and left.
"Brother Sheng, let's just forget it?"
Er Gou asked reluctantly.
"Of course not."
Gu Sheng smiled and said, "Now is not the time."
Shi Lou nodded, "Yes, we can't be impulsive. Azure Cloud Sect's strength cannot be underestimated. We have to take a long-term approach."
The three people left Gambling Stone House, but they did not go far, but stopped at a nearby river.
"Brother Sheng, what are your plans?"
Er Gou asked with an unhappy face.
Gu Sheng looked towards the bridgehead not far away.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Randomly, he secretly drummed up his divine power.
After a while of groping, Gu Sheng immediately walked towards the boulder that was as tall as a person at the end of the bridge with his eyes shining brightly.
"Brother Sheng, what are you doing? Why are you staring at that stone?"
Shi Lou asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"There is Refined Ore Source in this stone, and it is ancient premium Insect Source Stone."
Gu Sheng said in a calm voice.
Shi Lou and Er Gou were stunned. They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
"Brother Sheng, how do you know?"
Er Gou couldn't help but ask.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "It was the determination in "Heavenly Book of Source-Seeking" that allowed me to perceive the secrets in this stone."
Shi Lou and Er Gou's eyes flashed with awe. They knew the legend of "Heavenly Book of Source-Seeking", which was the treasure that the source seekers dreamed of. They didn't expect that Gu Sheng could master the determination in it.
"Then what are we waiting for? Break this rock open quickly and find the premium Insect Source Stone inside!"
Er Gou said excitedly.
Gu Sheng shook his head, "Don't worry, let's go back to Gambling Stone House first."
"Return to Gambling Stone House? Brother Sheng, what are you doing?"
Shi Lou looked puzzled.
"Let's go show that young master Azure Cloud Sect something good."
Gu Sheng had a cunning look in his eyes.
"This..."
Er Gou didn't quite understand, but still agreed with Gu Sheng's idea.
Then, the three returned to Gambling Stone House again.
The thugs saw them and rushed out immediately.
"What happened to you three? You just left and you came back?"
The leading thug scolded him coldly.
Gu Sheng Hearing the word "get out", he immediately became angry.
"I really can't speak!"
Randomly, Gu Sheng rushed forward suddenly.
Without the use of divine power, just using fists and kicks, he beat them all to pieces.
"What are you doing?"
The leading thug asked with an aggrieved look on his face.
"It's you who were disrespectful first. Go! Call your master. I have a big treasure to show him."
Gu Sheng gave him a cold look.
"Big baby? You can't just hit us if you have a big baby?"
The leading thug became even more aggrieved.
At this time, the eldest son Azure Cloud Sect Qingshan heard someone making trouble outside and rushed out.
When he saw Gu Sheng and the others, there was a trace of ridicule on his face.
"You poor devils, how dare you come here to cause trouble? Do you believe I will kill you?"
Gu Sheng looked disdainful, turned sideways and said, "I have a big baby, why can't I enter Gambling Stone House?"
Qingshan's eyes immediately became greedy the moment he saw the piece of Insect Source Stone.
"Big baby? Show me quickly!"
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "Want to see it? Yes, but you have to agree to one condition."
Qingshan's eyes flashed with anger, but in order to see the so-called big treasure, he still asked, "What are the conditions?"
Gu Sheng pointed to the door of Gambling Stone House, "I want your Gambling Stone House's best Source Ore, and I want your Azure Cloud Sect's protection."
Qingshan's expression changed. He didn't expect Gu Sheng to propose such a condition.
But he knew that the value of this piece of Insect Source Stone was immeasurable. If he could get it, it would undoubtedly be a big help to the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Okay, I promise you."
Qingshan gritted his teeth and agreed to Gu Sheng's conditions.
"Okay, come with me."
Gu Sheng said, leading Qingshan towards the boulder next to him.
At this time, those gamblers who participated in stone gambling at Gambling Stone House were more excited than the other when they heard that there was a big treasure.
So they all rushed out of Gambling Stone House to find out.
