After a few steps, Gu Sheng led Qingshan and a group of people behind him to the boulder.
"That's it?"
Qingshan was stunned when he came to hit this huge boulder.
He asked, pointing to the boulder in confusion.
Gu Sheng nodded.
"Hahaha..."
Hearing Gu Sheng's sincere answer, Qingshan couldn't help but laugh.
At the same time, others also followed suit and laughed.
"Is this kid crazy? Can this ordinary stone be Source Ore?"
"I looked at the guy as a lunatic, but he was in for a good show."
"Isn't that right? If you offend Azure Cloud Sect, you will reap the rewards!"
Some bystanders who were not too concerned about the excitement were talking about it.
It seems like everyone is waiting for Gu Sheng to make a fool of himself.
"If you don't believe it, you can open this stone and take a look and you will know."
Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.
Er Gou Looking at the current momentum, if they find that there is no Source Ore in it, they will probably be drowned by the spit of these people.
To be more safe, Er Gou asked in a low voice, "Brother Sheng, are you... are you sure there is Source Ore in this?"
"Yeah, Brother Sheng, can't this be a joke?"
Shi Lou also started to feel a little nervous.
Gu Sheng's eyes are firm, as if there is a magic power that can soothe people's hearts.
"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure about. I liked this stone at first sight. I can be sure that there must be Source Ore inside."
Gu Sheng clothes said with assurance.
Shi Lou and Er Gou have blind trust in Gu Sheng, but when faced with the comments of people around them and the provocation of Qingshan, they inevitably feel nervous.
But the words Gu Sheng were like a warm current, which made their hearts feel a little calmer.
Qingshan sneered on the side. He weighed a few ores in his hand and asked Gu Sheng provocatively, "Boy, if there is no Source Ore in this, what are you going to do?"
"I guarantee with my life that there is definitely Source Ore in this."
Gu Sheng's eyes showed no fluctuation, and he answered calmly.
"Okay! This is what you said!"
Qingshan's eyes flashed with a cunning look.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly and asked, "If so, what are you going to do?"
"If there is, I will just swallow the stone chips!"
Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then said loudly.
"Okay, it's settled."
Gu Sheng nodded and agreed without hesitation.
The conversation between the two made the surrounding crowd excited, and everyone was looking forward to the outcome of this bet.
Soon, everyone found a stone cutter.
When the stone cutter saw that he wanted to cut the huge stone next to the river bridge, he immediately shook his head and refused. "This stone is just an ordinary stone. If it had Source Stone, it would have been dragged away long ago. You are wasting my time."
After saying that, the stone cutter turned around and left.
"Huh? Don't leave?"
Gu Sheng and Qingshan spoke at the same time.
"If you cut out Source Ore, you will get extra rewards."
Qingshan stood directly in front of the stone cutter and said.
"Even if you don't have it, I'm still willing to give it!"
Gu Sheng echoed.
"This..."
The stone cutter was stunned.
Judging from the current situation, he can make a fortune with or without Source Stone.
"Don't leave? If you leave, the two of you will really not be able to tell who wins and who loses."
"We can't let the stone cutter leave."
"Yes! You can't leave!"
Others followed suit.
At the same time, Gu Sheng and Qingshan continued to persevere.
"Okay!"
The stone cutter reluctantly agreed and began to cut the stone aggressively.
"Stab, sting, sting..."
After the stone cutter was ready, he began the stone cutting work.
At this time, everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the moment when the stone was cut.
"God bless..."
Shi Lou and Er Gou clenched their fists nervously.
Gu Sheng stood aside with a smile on his face, seemingly confident of the outcome.
The stone cutter waved his cutting knife, which touched the hearts of everyone present.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The skin on the surface of the stone peels off.
Not long after, the first knife was finally fired.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the cut half of the stone fell down.
There was a burst of dust, and everyone hurried forward to get together.
"Tch! What the hell is this! There's nothing!"
"This boy is a complete loser!"
"Qingshan Master has won."
The people watching the excitement suddenly burst into excitement.
Qingshan looked at Gu Sheng with a proud look on his face and said, "Boy, what else do you have to say? It seems that the life stones of the three of you are mine, haha..."
After saying that, Qingshan couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Sheng... this..."
Er Gou and Shi Lou looked anxious.
Gu Sheng said with a calm smile, "You are happy too early, it hasn't been cut yet."
Gu Sheng said, pointing to the remaining stones standing on the ground.
"Alas..."
At this time, the stone cutter on the side suddenly sighed.
"Young man, you are still inexperienced. Take a look at the texture of this stone."
As he spoke, the stone-cutting master stepped forward and pointed in the direction of the lines of the remaining boulders.
"The direction in which this stone was formed is here. If you look here, it is formed from a geological rock formation. There is no way a miracle can happen. I think it's better to forget it and don't spend more money."
The stone cutter said with a sincere look.
"It's okay, master, I know what's going on."
Gu Sheng still maintains a faint smile.
Qingshan looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh, "Are you pretending to understand? Even the stone cutter said it was impossible, and you are still holding on here. It's really ridiculous."
Gu Sheng ignored Qingshan's ridicule, as if he had seen the secret inside the stone.
Because he knows that the preciousness of Source Ore lies not only in its value, but also in the aura of heaven and earth it contains, which is incomparable to any ordinary stone.
"Master, I am naturally convinced by your experience, but sometimes, intuition is also important."
Gu Sheng said, taking out a piece of exquisite Source Ore from his arms, and handed it to the stone cutter, "Please follow the direction I told you, and cut it again."
The stone cutter looked at the Source Stone in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
In his opinion, these young people sometimes like to take risks, and maybe they really have some special intuition.
"Okay, I'll just cut it again, but boy, this is what you asked for, don't blame me for not reminding you."
The stone cutter said, picked up the tool in his hand, and started the second cut in the direction specified by Gu Sheng.
The crowd around him became quiet again, and everyone was waiting with bated breath to see what the result would be if the sword was struck.
Shi Lou and Er Gou stood aside nervously, their heartbeats speeding up with every swing of the stone cutter.
The stone-cutting master moved skillfully and quickly, and with a "click", a corner of the boulder was cut off.
He blew the dust off the stone and looked carefully.
"How is it? How is it?"
Qingshan asked eagerly.
There was a kind of expectation in his eyes, as if he wanted to see if a miracle would happen.
The stone cutter did not answer immediately, but observed carefully.
Suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he saw an unusual light.
"This... how is this possible?"
The stone cutter's voice was trembling, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
The surrounding crowd began to stir, and they crowded forward one after another, wanting to have a look.
Shi Lou and Er Gou couldn't help but come over.
When they saw that faint light, their faces suddenly showed expressions of disbelief.
"Source Ore! It's really Source Ore!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Qingshan's face instantly turned pale. He never expected that Gu Sheng's intuition would actually come true.
He looked at the piece of Source Ore that exuded a faint light, and his heart was full of unwillingness.
Gu Sheng smiled, knowing that his intuition was correct.
He turned to Qingshan and said calmly, "Qingshan, it seems you have to fulfill your promise."
Qingshan's face was very ugly. He did not expect that Gu Sheng could really find Source Ore.
He swallowed and looked at the cut stone.
I saw that there was indeed a fist-sized piece of Source Ore inside, emitting a faint light.
"How is this possible..."
Qingshan murmured to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Gu Sheng ignored Qingshan, he turned to Shi Lou and Er Gou, smiled and said, "Look, I said no problem."
Shi Lou and Er Gou hugged Gu Sheng excitedly. They knew that this time they really won the bet.
"This kid is really lucky. He actually drove Source Stone."
"This is just an ordinary piece of raw ore, what's so great about it."
"That's right, I don't even want this stone!"
The people around him also started talking about it.
Some of them are envious, some are jealous, and some admire Gu Sheng's vision.
"Brother Sheng, you are so amazing!"
Er Gou said excitedly.
Shi Lou also looked admiring. "Brother Sheng, how did you find out that Source Ore is in this stone?"
Gu Sheng smiled and said, "In "Heavenly Book of Source-Seeking", I will teach you slowly when I have the opportunity in the future."
After saying that, Gu Sheng walked to the stone as big as a millstone at the end.
"Master, please help me, cut from here to here, just leave me this big seed material."
Gu Sheng indicates the cutting direction of the cutter.
"What are you..."
The stone cutter looked confused.
"There are still good things here that have not been fully developed."
Gu Sheng smiled mysteriously.
Hearing what Gu Sheng said, everyone present did not refute, and all turned their attention to the stone cutter.
"Okay!"
The stone-cutting master did not refuse and agreed.
When the stone cutter started to cut, Gu Sheng glanced at Qingshan.
I saw that his face was turning green at this time, and he didn't expect that he would be embarrassed in front of so many people.
"Stab, sting, sting..."
The stone cutter is busy.
After a while, all the places Gu Sheng asked to be cut off fell to the ground, leaving only the stones he asked for.
"What! This..."
Before anyone could react, the stone cutter yelled.
With trembling hands, the stone cutter picked up the stone designated by Gu Sheng.
His eyes widened, filled with shock that was inappropriate for his age.
This stone actually took on the shape of a palm, with distinct fingers and clearly visible palm prints, as if a real palm had been petrified.
"Palm Splitting Stone!"
The stone cutter almost used all his strength to shout these three words.
Everyone present was stunned.
Their eyes were fixed on the stone, and some even took a few steps forward involuntarily, wanting to have a closer look at the legendary Palm Splitting Stone.
Palm Splitting Stone, this is an extremely rare Source Ore.
It is said that some ancient powerful cultivators condensed their power into this stone before they died.
It contains extremely pure spiritual energy and has immeasurable spiritual value.
Anyone who knows anything knows that the value of such a piece of Palm Splitting Stone can be worth fifty pounds of high-quality Source Ore, or even more!
"I'll go... this kid's luck..."
Qingshan's face can no longer be described as pale.
He didn't expect that he would meet such a master of stone gambling as Gu Sheng.
This time, not only will you lose face, but you may also have to pay a huge price.
"You... how did you find out?"
Qingshan's voice was trembling.
He really couldn't figure out how a seemingly ordinary young man could see the extraordinaryness of this stone.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, and did not directly answer Qingshan's question. Instead, he turned to the stone cutter and said respectfully, "Master, your craftsmanship is really superb. You have contributed a lot to the fact that this piece of Palm Splitting Stone can be completely presented in front of us."
"Where there."
The stone cutter shook his head, knowing that he was just doing his duty.
What's really amazing is the story in front of him. It was him who discovered the secret of Palm Splitting Stone.
"Young man, your vision is really unique, I admire you."
The stone cutter said sincerely.
Gu Sheng smiled modestly, then turned to Shi Lou and Er Gou.
At this time, their faces were already blooming with joy.
"Brother Sheng, you are so awesome! We really made a fortune this time!"
Er Gou said excitedly.
Shi Lou also looked excited and gave a thumbs up to Gu Sheng.
"Ahem..."
At this time, Shi Lou coughed lightly, looked at Qingshan and asked, "Qingshan, you are also Azure Cloud Sect's son, do you want to keep your word?"
"Um..."
Qingshan was stunned.
He just made a bet with Gu Sheng in front of everyone. If there really is Source Ore here, he will eat these stone chips.
But now not only ordinary raw ore has been opened, but also extremely valuable Palm Splitting Stone.
It was a slap in the face.
"I'm willing to admit defeat!"
Qingshan said, directly taking a stone chip on the ground in his hand and trying to swallow it.
But these stone chips are extremely sharp. If swallowed, they will definitely run rampant in the stomach.
It's possible that you won't even know how you died by then.
"Swallow it! Swallow it!"
Er Gou was booing from the side.
Qingshan held the stone chips and froze on the spot, looking at Gu Sheng who was standing aside.
"Are... are there other ways of punishment?"
Qingshan had a resentful look in his eyes.
"Haha..."
Gu Sheng smiled and said, "Yes, of course there is, but I just don't know if you, a young master like you Azure Cloud Sect, are willing to do it."
"In what way?"
Qingshan put down the stone chips and looked at Gu Sheng expectantly and asked.
