From Covering the Sky, I Became a Transcendent

Chapter 50 Gambling on Stones
Si Chen immediately dropped 1,500 kilograms of resources and bought the stone.

Master Yuan came over and said, "My two guests, do you need me to help you cut the stone?"

The service attitude of Ziwei Stone Workshop is very good, and professional master craftsmen are arranged in each courtyard.

"No need." Duan De was very confident. He picked up the machete provided by the stone shop and gestured at the stone a few times.

Then he chopped it down hard, splitting the millstone-shaped stone directly into two halves. It was so simple and rough that Master Yuan next to him was dumbfounded, and several monks who were watching on the side almost cried out.

How can you cut stone like this!

Most people are very careful when cutting stone, peeling off the stone layer by layer. But this fat Taoist priest is really not afraid of damaging the things inside.

Duan De didn't care and cut a few more times, cleanly and neatly, making Master Yuan's eyelids twitch.

"This Taoist priest may be a good grave digger, but forget about gambling on stones, his technique is too crude."

A young man in fancy clothes next to him snorted coldly, looking down on this cutting method: "If this can cut out something good, I will take his last name..."

However, before he could finish his words, a brilliant red light burst out from the stone, extremely hot, and the spiritual energy was so rich that it could not be dissolved.

"Is this... the source of the raging fire?" someone exclaimed immediately, "It's quite big!"

The Fiery Source is a type of exotic source, and its quality is quite high. Few people can obtain this source.

"Such a large piece is worth at least five thousand kilograms of source. Seal it quickly and don't let its spirituality leak out!" A middle-aged man shouted hurriedly. He had taken a fancy to this piece of fire source.

Without his reminder, Duan De had already taken out a bottle and put the fire source into it to prevent its spiritual energy from being lost.

The young man in fancy clothes had a gloomy face. Behind him, there were several boys and girls who immediately comforted him upon seeing his situation.

"This fat Taoist priest is really lucky. A blind cat meets a dead mouse."

After comforting himself for a few words, the young man in fancy clothes regained his composure.

It would be fine if it was just like that, but Duan De was a man who held grudges and liked to be humiliated. He took the initiative to wave the bottle in front of the young man in fancy clothes: "Where did you come from, you little brat? You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you dare to mock me, a Taoist priest?"

"You wanted to take my last name, but I won't accept a big boy like you."

That fat body gave people an urge to hit someone. The veins on the young man in fancy clothes bulged. Si Chen was secretly thankful that he didn't reveal his identity. This fat guy would easily attract hatred.

"Isn't this the younger brother of Saint Taixu?" More people looked over.

Taixu Holy Land is a large holy land in the central part of Shenzhou. It is also an immortal heritage. There are also handed down holy weapons in the gate. It is a force founded by the great saint of the human race.

Although the Taixu Saint Son of this generation is not very famous, he is also a great man.

Being recognized, the young man in fancy clothes couldn't stand it anymore: "You fat guy, why are you pretending to be a Taoist master? Do you dare to bet with me?"

Although the young man in gorgeous clothes does not understand the origin of the art, he can go and ask for help.

"How do you bet?" Duan De glanced at Si Chen who was watching the show on the side. Seeing him nod, he felt relieved and looked at the young man in fancy clothes jokingly.

Duan De had seen many young people like this, and they were easy to deal with, unlike Si Chen, who was like a fox at a young age.

Si Chen silently watched the fat guy cheating people. Alas, if he hadn't known this guy's character long ago, he would have been easily provoked and deceived.

Alas, after reincarnation after reincarnation, the once mighty and domineering Hades has become like this.

"Let's go over there and talk."

The group crossed over more than a dozen courtyards and came directly to the 36th floor, which was the last floor. Beyond that was the Tianzihao Stone Archway. The stones there were extremely expensive, and the young man in fancy clothes could not afford them at all.

This layer is a starry sky backdrop, deep and beautiful, dotted with countless bright stars, forming an eternal picture.

Si Chen discovered that these stars were stones, which was indeed a genius idea. These strange stones were not as good as the stones in the Tianzihao Stone Archway, but they were also very precious, and there was a certain possibility that they would produce rare treasures.

At this point, what is being gambled is no longer the pure source, but something more precious, which costs a huge amount.

Some of the stones here come from that ancient ruins. They are very eye-catching and are said to be no worse than the strange stones in the Tianzihao Stone Archway.

The young man in fancy clothes called for help, who was a short-haired young man in his early twenties. He had an arrogant look on his face and claimed to know a little about source magic.

"How about we each pick three stones and see who can carve out a better treasure?" The short-haired young man looked at Duan De with disdain.

Betting on three stones would be more stable and he would be more confident.

"I have no objection." Duan De smiled innocently. He has not stopped laughing since he came to this floor.

"How much do you want to bet?" Si Chen suddenly asked.

He glanced at Si Chen who hadn't spoken. Because of the unscrupulous Taoist priest, the young man in fancy clothes didn't have a good impression of him, so he said unhappily, "What do you say?"

"What you cut out belongs to the other party, plus an extra 100,000 jin of source, how about that?"

"Okay!" the short-haired young man agreed.

Someone was going to have a source magic duel, which soon attracted a group of old men and countless monks. People from the neighboring stone workshop learned the news and also gathered over.

It is rare to encounter a gambling stone duel, especially when the stakes are not small.

The service staff of Ziwei Stone Shop were alarmed and came to receive them, serving them tea and spiritual fruits.

Selecting stones is a laborious job. Even if it is done by a master of source arts, it is not uncommon for it to take half a day to do the selection. One must be extremely careful.

"Don't cry if you lose." Duan De put his hands behind his back, acting like a master.

When someone recognized him, his eyes suddenly turned red and revealed murderous intent.

However, this courtyard was guarded by powerful men from the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, who were watching closely with their divine thoughts. They could not take any action and could only secretly cheer for the short-haired young man.

The short-haired young man snorted coldly: "You should worry about yourself first."

"Isn't this the heir of the Yuanshu family? This fat Taoist priest is finished!" Someone recognized the short-haired young man and said with great joy.

"He is a genius from the Wei family, an ancient family of source arts. I heard that he once found the source of the gods in an ancient mine."

"The Wei family?" An old man was surprised. "That's the oldest family of origin arts in Ziwei. No wonder this young man is so confident."

Everyone was looking forward to this match even more, and an old man even opened a betting table for everyone to place bets.

"Let's start selecting stones!" said the short-haired young man, and entered the starry sky first.

There was a lot of noise in the courtyard, and the old men followed the two men to see how they selected stones.

Duan De took Si Chen for a walk and communicated with him using his spiritual thoughts.

"Master, what do you think about the compensation later?"

Duan De looked at Si Chen in surprise. He didn't expect that this kid had so much confidence in him. What a monster.

Logically speaking, they had only known each other for a short time, so how did this guy know that he was setting a trap?

"Don't worry, my friend. You paid for it. We will split the six pieces of stone 40% to 20% each. But there is one stone that I want to gamble on..."
