Jade Pool Immortal Maiden watched them leave and turned to look at Gu Sheng.
"Master Gu Sheng, keep these Earth Spirit Source Stone. If Azure Cloud Sect comes to cause trouble again in the future, feel free to come to Jade Pool Holy Land to find me."
Gu Sheng nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you Jade Pool Immortal Maiden."
He knew that Jade Pool Immortal Maiden was deliberately supporting him to warn Azure Cloud Sect and others.
"Chichichi!"
Suddenly, several rainbow lights flashed in the sky.
Gu Sheng looked up and saw something familiar in the rainbow light.
"Old friend?"
Gu Sheng was a little confused in his heart.
Who is coming? But don't be a Ji Family person.
While Gu Sheng was praying secretly, a rumble sounded.
He looked up and saw a door several feet high appearing at the back of the courtyard.
The rumbling sound was the grinding sound of the door slowly opening.
"This..."
Er Gou and Shi Lou on the side had never seen such a battle before, and they froze in place with eyes full of surprise.
"Everyone, Jade Pool Holy Land Grand Elder is here. Please come to the backyard to participate in the stone appreciation party."
Jade Pool Saintess said with a smile.
"Brother Sheng, do we want to go in?"
Er Gou approached Gu Sheng and asked.
"You're already here, why don't you go in? Besides, Jade Pool Immortal Maiden is very fond of Brother Sheng. If you don't go in, you'll lose."
Shi Lou deliberately teased from the side.
"Screw you, who are we?"
Gu Sheng said, turned around and left.
He didn't want to participate in such an occasion. After all, he knew that his status was insignificant compared to the experts here.
At this moment, the voice of Jade Pool Immortal Maiden sounded again.
"Mr. Gu, please stay."
Gu Sheng paused as he was about to take a step.
He turned around and saw Jade Pool Immortal Maiden looking at him with a smile, and there seemed to be undeniable expectations in his eyes.
"Mr. Gu, since you are here, you might as well visit the back courtyard. You may gain something unexpected."
Jade Pool Immortal Maiden said with a smile.
"Okay, okay."
Gu Sheng wanted to refuse, but Shi Lou and Er Gou already nodded in agreement.
"Look at the way you two have never seen the world."
Gu Sheng stared at the two of them speechlessly, then nodded in agreement and followed everyone to the back courtyard.
Gu Sheng entered the back courtyard, where hundreds of people came one after another.
They were either talking in twos or threes, or admiring the strange rocks around them alone.
There is a huge circular venue in the center of the backyard. There are many strange stones placed around the venue, including some Source Ore that are rich in energy.
They emit all kinds of weird lights, attracting everyone's attention.
Gu Sheng shuttled among the crowd, his eyes scanning these strange rocks.
Suddenly, he felt a faint energy fluctuation.
Gu Sheng stopped and took a look aside. He felt that this place seemed to be an altar. As for its function, he didn't know.
"Is there some kind of sacrificial activity going on?"
Gu Sheng stood there thinking.
"Here, and here..."
Gu Sheng observed several huge Source Ore positions and saw an elder standing in these positions, as if everything was arranged.
Suddenly, Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed and he saw Shaking Light Saintess Yao Xi.
She was standing next to a huge Source Ore and seemed to be talking to several elders.
Gu Sheng was shocked, and then he realized that the familiar feeling was the breath of Yao Xi that he had sensed before.
He hurriedly hid to avoid being discovered by Yao Xi.
There was an unknown past between him and Yao Xi, but now, he just wants to avoid her to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Gu Sheng quietly retreated to the edge of the crowd, his eyes wandering in the back courtyard, looking for a hiding place.
"Hey! Brother Sheng! Brother Sheng!"
Suddenly, Er Gou shouted at Gu Sheng.
Er Gou's cry instantly attracted Yao Xi's attention.
Gu Sheng's heart sank, and he quickly turned sideways, trying to blend into the crowd.
But it's too late.
Yao Xi's gaze penetrated the crowd like a sharp sword and directly locked on Gu Sheng's position.
"Uh-huh!"
In the blink of an eye, her figure rushed to Gu Sheng's side like a stream of light.
"Gu Sheng!"
Yao Xi grabbed his arm, with a hint of reproach in his voice.
"Holy...Saintess?"
Gu Sheng deliberately made a gesture of surprise.
At this time Er Gou and Shi Lou also came to Gu Sheng.
The two of them saw Gu Sheng being caught by another beautiful woman, and their eyes were full of envy.
"Brother Sheng, are you too popular with women?"
"Yeah, you should give us two points."
The two joked.
Gu Sheng was speechless. He glared at Er Gou and accused. "Er Gou, why are you yelling for nothing?"
Shi Lou joked, "He just calls him Er Gou because of his barking. Brother Sheng, it's not like you don't know."
Yao Xi on the other side was filled with joy, almost sticking to Gu Sheng's body.
"Tell me, what have you been doing lately?"
Gu Sheng stepped back to avoid any physical contact. He didn't want to cause any misunderstanding here.
"Saintess, what are you doing?"
Gu Sheng tried to keep a distance.
But Yao Xi didn't care. She held Gu Sheng's arm tightly and asked, "Why are you not in the mining area and running here?"
"I like freedom. Life in the mining area is too boring."
Gu Sheng hesitated.
The two of them had a tug-of-war, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
At this moment, Jade Pool Immortal Maiden also arrived.
She saw that Yao Xi and Gu Sheng knew each other, and her eyes were full of surprise.
"Yao Xi sister, do you know her?"
Jade Pool Immortal Maiden asked.
Yao Xi nodded, her eyes never leaving Gu Sheng. Everyone could see the ambiguity.
Jade Pool Immortal Maiden smiled slightly, seeming to understand something.
"Master Gu Sheng, I didn't expect that you and sister Yao Xi are old acquaintances. Just now, Master Gu Sheng helped me."
Yao Xi was suddenly startled. She looked at Gu Sheng, her eyes full of questions.
"Ahem..."
Gu Sheng coughed twice and said, "It's just a small effort, not worth mentioning."
Jade Pool Immortal Maiden shook his head and said, "Master Gu Sheng is too humble. If Master Gu Sheng hadn't helped me, I'd probably be lying down and resting now."
Yao Xi Hearing this, some complicated emotions suddenly appeared in his eyes.
It's envy, even more jealous, and a bit sulky.
"Gu Sheng, you..."
Yao Xi didn't finish what she said, but Gu Sheng already understood what she meant.
"Saintess, haven't you always known about my strength?"
Gu Sheng asked with a faint smile.
Yao Xi didn't say much.
She does know Gu Sheng's strength, but since they separated, Gu Sheng seems to have become stronger.
Jade Pool Immortal Maiden saw this and broke the awkward atmosphere with a smile, "Haha, today is the stone appreciation party. We won't talk about these things. Mr. Gu Sheng and sister Yao Xi, how about we go and see those strange rocks together?"
Okay, I just have some questions that I would like to ask Gu Sheng. "
Gu Sheng was about to refuse, but Yao Xi spoke first.
Gu Sheng had no choice but to follow Jade Pool Immortal Maiden and Yao Xi towards those strange rocks.
He knew in his heart that today's events might not end easily.
Then, the three of them came to a huge piece of Source Ore. This piece of ore exuded a faint blue light and was obviously a piece of extremely high-quality Source Ore.
Jade Pool Immortal Maiden introduced, "This ore is called 'Blue Crystal Stone', which is a good material for refining high-level magic weapons."
Yao Xi asked curiously, "Gu Sheng, how much do you know about these Source Ore?"
"Know a thing or two."
Gu Sheng said with a slight smile.
His eyes swept over these Source Ore, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get rid of the entanglement of Yao Xi.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd.
I saw an old man in black robe slowly walking to the center of the square.
"Everyone, being able to come to the stone appreciation party held by our Jade Pool Holy Land today really gives us face. Now, please give us a few words from our Jade Pool Immortal Maiden."
After the old man in black robe finished speaking, he looked at Jade Pool Immortal Maiden.
Jade Pool Immortal Maiden smiled and walked forward.
Everyone turned their attention to Jade Pool Immortal Maiden. At this moment, Jade Pool Immortal Maiden seemed to be the focus of the entire stone appreciation party.
"Tch! What a big deal."
Yao Xi muttered with disdain.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but smile and shake his head when he heard this.
"Hey! why are you laughing! I remind you, stay away from this woman, do you hear me?"
Yao Xi reminded Gu Sheng almost in a commanding tone.
Gu Sheng was slightly startled and asked, "What? Do you have any grudge against her?"
"Grudge? I have no grudge against her, I'm just a friendly reminder, don't still help count money when you suffer a loss."
Yao Xi rolled his eyes at Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng heard this and felt that there was something in Yao Xi's words, so he asked, "No, what on earth do you mean? Half of the words are enough to whet your appetite."
"Huh..."
Yao Xi sighed speechlessly, "Don't think that this stone appreciation place is a good place. Look, this is obviously an altar formation. Who knows what they are going to do here in Yaochi."
"Sacrifice... altar?"
Gu Sheng was suddenly startled when he heard these two words.
This was the same as his first feeling, it always felt weird.
As for where the blame lies, I can't tell.
But what Yao Xi said made me even more wary.
"Next, please enjoy Jade Pool Holy Land's latest acquisition, Source Ore."
Yao Xi After saying that, colorful lights suddenly glowed in the sky.
"Chichichi!"
These lights flashed in the sky, and there seemed to be endless Desolate Antiquity energy filling the sky.
Then, Jade Pool Holy Land groups of cultivators appeared in the sky guarding the nine boulders, and slowly fell towards the center of the square.
"Jade Pool Holy Land really deserves its reputation! sharp! sharp!"
"It's so shocking, I didn't expect Jade Pool Holy Land to have such a treasure."
"I am truly lucky to see such strange rocks..."
Everyone was amazed and discussed the origins and uses of these nine huge stones.
"Sheng... Brother Sheng... I..."
Suddenly, Gu Sheng heard the intermittent sounds of Er Gou.
Gu Sheng turned his head and saw that Er Gou was shaking all over, his lips were white, and his whole body felt like he wanted to twitch.
"Er Gou! Er Gou! What's wrong with you?"
Gu Sheng immediately stepped forward to ask about Er Gou's situation.
But Er Gou was trembling and almost speechless.
"Er Gou, what's wrong with you?"
Shi Lou also asked anxiously.
"Quick! Pull him aside."
Seeing this, Yao Xi quickly asked Gu Sheng to pull Er Gou behind the boulder aside.
"Er Gou, hold on!"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he quickly summoned his divine power to draw Mysterious Yellow Qi from his own golden lake, and transmitted it to Er Gou's body through his palm.
After a few minutes, Er Gou stopped shivering.
"Brother Sheng, Er Gou, what's going on?"
Shi Lou was sweating profusely.
"Yeah, what happened to him?"
Yao Xi also asked.
"Those boulders falling from the sky have magical properties, and they should have inspired the blood in Er Gou's body."
Gu Sheng whispered with serious eyes.
"What!"
Yao Xi was shocked when he heard this.
Gu Sheng looked at his surprised look and felt that he must know something, so he asked randomly, "Why such a big reaction?"
"Gudong!"
Yao Xi swallowed a sip of saliva, looked around, and after making sure no one else noticed them, whispered, "Jade Pool Holy Land may be screening people with a physique suitable for sacrifice through the altar, and Er Gou may be one of them!"
"What! A person who sacrifices to improve his physique?"
Gu Sheng was shocked.
He didn't expect that Jade Pool Holy Land would choose people in this way.
If Er Gou is really selected, then he will most likely never go back to Stone Village!
"We have to find a way to escape from the Stone Appreciation Club."
Gu Sheng said in a deep voice.
"Yeah."
Yao Xi nodded, "I'll try to distract the attention of others, and you take the opportunity to leave with Er Gou."
Gu Sheng didn't say much. He knew Yao Xi's strength and she should be able to cope with this situation.
He picked up Er Gou and moved quietly to the edge of the square.
At this moment, Jade Pool Immortal Maiden's voice sounded again, "Everyone, these nine giant stones are treasures that we, Jade Pool Holy Land, obtained after untold hardships. They contain powerful energy and are of great help to our cultivation."
Everyone became even more excited after hearing this, and their eyes were focused on the nine huge rocks. No one noticed Gu Sheng and their movements.
Yao Xi knows that after Jade Pool Immortal Maiden says this, he will definitely come to Gu Sheng again.
Therefore, he will take advantage of this time to hold back Jade Pool Immortal Maiden.
"Jade Pool Immortal Maiden, are these nine boulders really that magical? I would like to try it myself."
Yao Xi walked forward and said with a smile.
Her words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Jade Pool Immortal Maiden also smiled slightly and said confidently, "If sister Yao Xi is interested, you might as well come forward and give it a try."
Then, Yao Xi stepped forward.
When the others saw this, they suddenly sighed.
"Hey, Shaking Light Holy Land and Jade Pool Holy Land are about to have sex?"
"Now there's something good to watch."
"Two beauties, let's see who is better."
While everyone was talking, Yao Xi suddenly summoned his divine power and began to try to sense these strange Source Ore energies.
But just as Yao Xi was summoning his divine power, these Source Ore instantly burst into colorful light.
Those lights converge into one point from different angles.
From points to lines, from lines to surfaces, from surfaces to bodies.
Almost instantly, a colorful light ball the size of a grinding plate was formed.
