Chapter 79: A Sacred Land Family with Pleasant Words
We lost?!
Hearing Jiang Xuan speak, everyone who had bet finally snapped back from their amazement at the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword being cut out, and wails of anguish filled the air.
Dragon Pattern Black Gold, even if small, is Immortal Gold, and also Immortal Material exclusive to Extreme Dao Great Emperors, let alone this sword intertwines Dao and Principle, its value not less than two hundred thousand jin of Pure Source.
"My Source……"
"Old man saved half his life's savings, alas, in the end greed clouded my mind, fate and destiny."
Many had hoped to double their assets through this bet, sparing themselves years of hardship, but never expected greed to blind them, losing huge assets, this simply made them heartbroken to the point of bleeding blood; hearing Jiang Xuan, truly…… he felt "unable to bear it."
"Little Friend, I am Supreme Elder Huo Sanming of Zifu Holy Land; this Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, Old Man is willing to offer one hundred fifty thousand jin of Pure Source, may I buy it from Old Man?" An old man who had not participated in the bet spoke.
"My younger sister also likes this sword very much, one hundred eighty thousand jin of Pure Source!" The Daxia Prince also made a purchase request; he seemed very enthusiastic about buying all sorts of treasures, while the little nun with big eyes beside him stared fixedly at Jiang Xuan, eyes showing expectation.
"I have an Immortality Medicine to extend an emperor's life for a lifetime, now lacking a suitable Emperor Weapon; this Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword is quite good, can serve as my Emperor Weapon." Jiang Xuan refused, speaking with a serious expression.
"……"
This couldn't be responded to; still emperor's life, still Emperor Weapon, next you'd want to build an Emperor Palace for me, revered by the universe.
Have you heard what people say?
Many in the Stone Garden were immersed in sighs over lost wealth; hearing his words, all were displeased, thinking he was rubbing salt in the wound.
"Hmph, you're just lucky!" A person from a Source Technique Aristocratic Family beside him snorted coldly, certain Jiang Xuan was just heaven-defyingly lucky, his source-cutting had no technique at all—either smashing it with one palm, or playing tricks by pointing his finger, disguising sword qi as source technique to deceive outsiders.
"This is peerless source technique of mine." Jiang Xuan felt "indignant," thinking the Source Technique Aristocratic Family people were looking down on his Heaven-Shaking Source Technique.
"Since you refuse to accept, how about we open another round?" Jiang Xuan suddenly spoke, speaking "angrily."
"How to bet?" The Source Technique Aristocratic Family person was unafraid, certain such luck was one-of-a-kind; cutting out immortal treasures twice by luck was already heaven's fortune, impossible to produce rare treasures again.
"Just bet on whether I can cut out another immortal treasure." Jiang Xuan spoke astonishingly, refusing to let it rest.
Everyone around was shocked, truly treating immortal treasures like common cabbage; if Dao Yi Stone Workshop had a third immortal treasure, it might as well be renamed Immortal Treasure Stone Workshop.
"Hahaha, you really think you're a Source Heaven Master; even a Source Heaven Master absolutely cannot have such divine ability, I'll bet one more round." Before the Source Technique Aristocratic Family person could speak, Illusion Extinction Palace Supreme Elder Li Yishui was overjoyed; this time he wanted to win back what he lost, cutting out three immortal treasures in one day—unless it was a true immortal, no one had such ability.
"Do you still have source?" Jiang Xuan glanced at him.
"Old man… old man will bet another thirty-five thousand and eighty jin of source, is that not allowed?" Li Yishui spoke firmly, suddenly realizing he couldn't break even in one round.
"Senior, your source is not enough, but it also exceeds one percent of my divine source; my source plus two immortal treasures is worth only two million pure source." Jiang Xuan sighed, then glanced at the divine source pile behind him radiating brilliance, filled with spirit energy, dazzling to the extreme.
Li Yishui's old face turned red, furious to the extreme; his financial power was actually looked down upon by a junior, and he endured it for the moment.
In this stone garden, you look down on my financial power; I won't argue with you here; once out of the stone garden, I'll let you know what a senior expert is.
"Thirty thousand jin of pure source is also no small wealth; count me as losing; you and I bet, winner takes all." Jiang Xuan seemed too lazy to pick out thirty-five thousand eight hundred jin of source.
"Agreed!"
"Since that's the case, let's begin!" Jiang Xuan prepared to step forward and inspect the stone materials.
"Little Friend, don't rush; we haven't placed our bets yet; betting on cutting out immortal material is rare since ancient times; this round will surely be a celebrated tale; how could we miss it!" Some elders spoke very pleasantly; all were talented people.
"Senior, I remember you lost the most just now, apparently betting one hundred thirty thousand jin of source; how about we forget it?" Jiang Xuan "hesitated," "unable to bear" a several-hundred-year-old man losing his coffin money.
"Merely one hundred thirty thousand jin of source; an external thing; we cultivators cultivate the body, understand the great principle; how could we be troubled by external things? Dirt and dust; bet, let me bet; this time I want to bet three hundred thousand jin of pure source."
"Correct, correct; in these long years, it's been a long time since I encountered something so interesting; a few hundred years later, when we old folks are completely old, looking back on the past, it can count as one of life's great pleasures." Another elder chimed in, throwing out a large pile of pure source.
"Alright then, but we agreed: one person bets against me; I use two million jin of pure source as the stake; two people, ten people, a hundred people, the same; as for how you divide your winnings, you can distribute proportionally, or decide for yourselves." Finally Jiang Xuan agreed.
"Count me in; Old Man bets two hundred thousand jin of source, betting you cannot cut out another immortal treasure!"
"I bet too; I bet one hundred twenty thousand jin of source."
"I bet three thousand jin of source……"
……
Yao Yuekong stood up at this time and said:
"Since that's the case, let this bet be witnessed by my Heavenly Demon Treasure Tower."
"The stakes involved in this bet are too great; this junior must also consider for himself; this time's stone materials cannot be limited to Dao Yi Stone Workshop, but must be the entire Holy City."
Dao Yi Stone Workshop might still have some rare treasures hidden in stone materials, but the possibility of cutting out immortal material is too small, too small; it's the same at any stone workshop.
However Jiang Xuan knew Yaoguang Holy Land had a stone material containing a complete Qilin Immortality Medicine; this immortality medicine was his main target.
"Not only that, I also want to select three stone materials; Great Emperor-exclusive divine medicine immortal gold, rare since past ages; how can it be cut just by saying so; only this is fair to this junior."
"Agreed." Many Sacred Land Family experts exchanged glances, agreeing to Jiang Xuan's request.
"I am Liu San Yuan of Wanchu Holy Land, betting three hundred thousand jin of pure source."
"I am Ye Daoling of Yaoguang Holy Land, betting two hundred fifty thousand jin of pure source."
"……"
People from Sacred Land Families kept placing bets; several hundred thousand jin of pure source was nothing to them, as if this round was certain to win.
"I don't know this little friend's name; having such courage, your master must be extraordinary." Suddenly, an expert from Yin Yang Sect spoke and asked.
"I am Jiang Tun, a Loose Cultivator."
The Sacred Land Family people put their hearts at ease, their expressions kind, smiling and asking:
"Jiang Little Friend is indeed a young hero; I don't know how long this stone selection will take?"
"Perhaps one day, perhaps two days." Jiang Xuan spoke; this was also the truth; if given two days, his Yin Yang Dual Pupils still hadn't discovered the stone material containing the immortality medicine; then perhaps at this current time point, it truly had not yet appeared in the world.
By then his Great Shift Divine Ability would have to be put to use.
"No rush, no rush; Jiang Little Friend, select stones at ease; two days not enough, three days, four days are fine; we have already notified the persons in charge of each stone workshop; after Little Friend selects, you can bring them here to be cut open."
"However, we need to arrange people to accompany Jiang Little Friend there, also to block outsiders' gossip, saying what shouldn't be said, maliciously damaging Little Friend's fame out of thin air." An elder from who knows which Sacred Land Family spoke very pleasantly; he was a talented person; who knows if he had studied somewhere.
"As it should be!" Jiang Xuan nodded.
