In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

Chapter 65 I'll Be the Referee

At this moment, the people and ancient style of the Yuanshu family had arrived at the Tianzihao Stone Garden in Yaoguang Stone Workshop.

Gu Feng is Ye Fan's alternate account, and he is accompanied by his best partner, Li Heishui.

The two sides had already agreed on the stakes and were about to begin when Zhang Taichu and his group arrived.

Zhang Taichu became famous after his battle at Yaochi Stone Archway, and in the past six months he has been frequenting various food stalls and entertainment venues in the Holy City, so he has a great reputation in the Holy City and many people know him.

Therefore, when Zhang Taichu arrived, it immediately caused quite a stir.

"That kid really did come, Ye Zi. He's not here to cause trouble for you, is he?"

Li Heishui had also drunk with Zhang Taichu, but now he was clearly closer to Ye Fan, so he was a little worried.

Ye Fan smiled slightly and transmitted his voice to say that the two were buddies. Upon hearing this, Li Heishui's face immediately lit up with joy.

"As expected, none of you from the Yuan Celestial Master lineage are easy to deal with. You're quite cunning, kid, and that Zhang Taichu was always moving between various factions. You're all shrewd people!"

"Moreover, as far as I know, he has a grudge against the Yuanshu families, so he will definitely lend you a helping hand this time."

At this moment, the people from the Yuanshu family also recognized Zhang Taichu, and they all showed hostile looks.

Zhang Taichu, of course, wouldn't stand on ceremony with them. He glared back and spoke.

"It's rare for the Holy City to have such a spectacular gamble involving a million catties of Origin. I have a small suggestion for you all, why don't you listen?"

"What do you want to say, Little Master Yuan?"

"You're an expert in jade gambling, so feel free to give me any advice you may have."

"Little Master Yuan, would you like to join the fray?"

Many of the older members of the Tianzihao Garden had a good relationship with Zhang Taichu, thanks to the personnel management he managed during the six months his clone spent there. After all, Zhang Taichu's initial goal was to make as many friends as possible.

"Thank you all for your kind words. This is an extraordinary gamble with an enormous amount of money involved. Many medium-sized sects would not be able to match the amount of source stones they have this time even if they put all their assets together. Therefore, fairness is the most important thing."

"Not only do Origin Stones contain various sources, but they may also contain various treasures. The value of these treasures is difficult to determine. Take longevity elixirs, for example. For people with little lifespan left, the value of an elixir is higher than that of the nine Immortal Golds. However, for the younger generation, Immortal Golds are clearly more valuable."

"Therefore, determining the value of the treasures is the key to victory. Rather than everyone offering their own opinions, it would be better to find someone everyone agrees on to judge their value. I am not very talented, but I have some achievements in source arts. I wonder if I could serve as the judge to determine the value of the treasures?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people from the Source Arts Clan got angry and immediately jumped out to object.

"No, how old are you? What qualifications do you have to be a referee? If we really need someone, it should be a senior member of our Yuanshu family."

A young man from a family specializing in Origin Arts jumped out to object, and Li Heishui instantly found the flaw and jumped out as well.

"What do you mean? You want the players and referees to be one too? Then why not just forgo betting and declare you the winner? Have you no shame?"

"Hahaha"

"The black kid is right, the people from the Source Arts families are shameless."

"Isn't this like being both a murderer and a public official, interrogating yourself? That's ridiculous!"

The crowd condemned the shameless behavior of the Yuanshu family and then clamored for Zhang Taichu to be the referee.

Zhang Taichu then made a few modest remarks and found two elderly men with white hair and beards to act as referees.

"The three of us will act as referees together. When disagreements arise, the minority will prevail over the majority. Now you have no objections, right?"

Seeing this, the Yuan Shu family had no choice but to agree; otherwise, they would only be looked down upon.

Seeing that Zhang Taichu had actually become the referee, and witnessing the intense tension between Zhang Taichu and the Yuanshu families, Li Heishui knew that this was a sure thing.

After all, he was the only one among the crowd who knew that Zhang Taichu and Ye Fan were good buddies; everyone else assumed that the two didn't know each other at all.

It's like two people playing a game, and the referee is their own great-uncle; it's hard to lose if they want to!

In short, after a lot of noise, the jade gambling officially began.

Each side selects three Originium stones, and the total value of the three Originium stones is used as the standard to minimize the element of luck and rely solely on strength!

As soon as the jade gambling began, Zhang Taichu started to exert his influence.

"What are you doing? I'm talking to you. What are you doing, playing dirty tricks? Are you trying to pull something?"

Zhang Taichu rushed over, jumping up and down, and started cursing at Nangong Qi of the Yuanshu family.

Although Nangong Qi was not as old as Ouyang Hua, he was still over a hundred years old. When Zhang Taichu pointed his finger at him and scolded him, he immediately lost face.

"What are you doing? Why are you interrupting my jade gambling? Is this how you act as a referee?"

"You know I'm the referee, right? How dare you try to pull these dirty tricks right in front of me? What's going on?"

Zhang Taichu pointed to a source stone next to him. Everyone was puzzled and didn't understand what was going on. Suddenly, the source stone he pointed to emitted light, and then the rich life energy transformed into a heavenly blade, slashing towards Zhang Taichu, who was closest to him.

Everyone was taken aback, but Zhang Taichu was prepared. He reached out and used his Source Technique to absorb the energy. Not only was he unharmed, but he also gained a piece of divine source energy for free, which he directly stored in the Soul-Shaking Bell to use as material for future formations.

"Holy crap! That's dangerous! If I walked right past without warning, I'd be hacked to death!"

"I heard that gambling on stones is life-threatening, and today I finally understand what it means. These source masters can actually use source stones to make traps, and in full view of everyone, only Zhang Taichu discovered it."

"That was a source of divine energy! To just destroy it like that? That's too extravagant!"

"The people from the Source Arts family are so despicable!"

"Don't say that, this is part of jade gambling."

"But I came to see the treasures, not to watch them waste divine resources like a trap!"

Everyone had different opinions, while Ye Fan secretly broke out in a cold sweat. He had just been heading towards that source stone, and if he hadn't reacted in time, his life would have been in real danger.

Li Heishui shouted and cursed, accusing the Yuanshu family of being treacherous and cunning!

Zhang Taichu snorted, suddenly raised his right foot, and then stomped heavily on the ground.

The entire Tianzi Garden shook violently, and then large areas of Origin Heaven Patterns spread rapidly outwards from Zhang Taichu's right foot.

Everyone present was startled and looked down to watch. Many even squatted down to study it, hoping to learn some of Master Yuan's techniques.

"I don't care how you've gambled on stones in the past. Today, as the referee, I won't allow anyone to use such underhanded tactics. You've all come here today to see your discerning eye, not to watch you cheat people."

The Yuanshu families glared angrily, seeing this as Zhang Taichu settling a personal score and restricting their abilities.

At that moment, a chilling voice came from the crowd.

"That's how battles between Source Arts are supposed to be. Kid Zhang, aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

Zhang Taichu turned his head and recognized the guy. It was Li Yishui, the elder of the Illusionary Palace who had joined forces with the Source Arts Clan to oppose Ye Fan in the original work.

Zhang Taichu gave a cold laugh.

"Today I'm the referee, and if I say no, that's final. You have a problem with that?"
