Just as Gu Sheng stopped there to think, a bad idea suddenly came into his mind.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?"

When Gu Sheng suddenly realized this, he felt a chill on his back.

Then, he immediately mobilized the divine power in his body and rushed back to Shitou Village as quickly as possible.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Sheng flew above the Stone Village.

Since a bonfire party had just been held, the lights in many houses were still on.

Gu Sheng landed directly in front of Shilou’s house.

After seeing Gu Sheng, Mrs. Shi hurried forward and asked, "Xiao Sheng, have you found out anything?"

Gu Sheng shook his head and sighed: "No."

After that, Gu Sheng asked, "Did anything else happen here after I left?"

"No, everyone has gone home, and they are also afraid that their livestock will be taken away."

Mrs. Shi shook her head.

"Okay then, you guys take a rest first."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he walked straight towards the meeting room.

Only Master Zhang Wu and Elder Shi, as well as other elders in the village, are here.

They also had some doubts about what the big thing that Mrs. Shi saw was.

When they saw Gu Sheng coming back, they went up to him and asked about the situation.

Gu Sheng also shook his head helplessly.

"If you ask me, it must be that Mrs. Shi made a mistake. It's possible that the wolves in the mountains have come out."

"I think it's possible. After all, there are fewer prey in the mountains now, and many wild animals have nothing to eat. It's reasonable for them to sneak into the village to find food."

"Well, I agree. This happened half a year ago and everyone knew about it at the time."

Several elders in the village were discussing.

At this time, Uncle Zhang Wu suddenly spoke.

"It's getting late. Since we only lost one cow, don't panic. Let's go back and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else."

"Well, follow Lao Zhang's instructions. Keep one eye open when you go to bed at night, especially you guys. Do you hear me?"

Elder Shi nodded and gave instructions to a few strong young men beside him.

"Yes!"

The young men agreed in unison.

Then, Gu Sheng also returned to his residence.

"Huh? Something's wrong!"

As soon as Gu Sheng entered the door, he immediately felt a strange breath coming.

He frowned and smelled a faint smell of blood in the air, which seemed to be mixed with the fragrance of grass.

"Goblin Originium!"

Gu Sheng shouted and instantly rushed towards the direction where he hid the goblin source stone.

He took two steps at a time and quickly came to the secret room where he stored the goblin source stone.

The room was in a mess at this time, and it was obvious that someone had been here.

Gu Sheng's eyes immediately locked on the exquisite wooden box, which was the box he used to store the goblin source stone.

But now...

It was opened roughly and was found empty inside.

"Fuck it!"

A surge of anger rose in Gu Sheng’s heart.

He had exchanged his life for the Goblin Originium, but now it had been stolen!
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Then, without stopping for long, he rushed towards Master Zhang Wu's room.

Uncle Zhang Wu is the elder of the clan and is knowledgeable. Perhaps he can give him some clues.

"Old Zhang, something bad has happened!"

Gu Sheng knocked on the door hurriedly.

Uncle Zhang Wu had just returned home from the conference room. When he opened the door and saw Gu Sheng's expression, he was immediately surprised.

"What happened?"

Uncle Zhang Wu asked a little nervously.

"The Goblin Originium has been stolen!"

Gu Sheng almost gritted his teeth as he spoke the news.

"what!"

Uncle Zhang Wu's face turned pale instantly.

As the heir of the Zhang family, he naturally knew the importance of the goblin source stone.

It's not just a piece of stone, it contains enormous energy. If it falls into the hands of criminals, the consequences will be disastrous!

"How is this possible? Didn't you preserve the Originium very well?"

Uncle Zhang Wu asked in shock.

"I feel like someone took advantage of the chaos and did it."

Gu Sheng said angrily.

Master Zhang Wu nodded and said, "Well, you are right. The situation tonight is indeed a little strange."

"Who do you think did it?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"It's hard to say. If I have to give a direction, I think the most likely person is someone from Qingxia Sect."

Uncle Zhang Wu looked worried, as if he had thought of some bad outcome.

"Qingxia Sect? Why?"

Gu Sheng continued to ask.

"The Goblin Origin Stone is the foundation of the Qingxia Sect's spiritual vein. If you bring out a few of them, it will definitely alert the Supreme Elders of their sect. They will use their divine power to find the location of the Goblin Origin Stone."

Master Zhang Wu wanted to explain to Gu Sheng.

"Then... is it possible that someone in our village took it away on purpose?"

Gu Sheng asked tentatively.

Master Zhang Wu shook his head directly: "No, this is impossible. All the people in Stone Village are not cultivators. In their hands, the Goblin Origin Stone is just a piece of rotten stone."

"Then could it be someone else, that is, someone outside the village and not from Qingxia Sect?"

Gu Sheng began to speculate.

Master Zhang Wu nodded. "Well, that's possible."

"Oh? Who?"

Gu Sheng's eyes lit up.

"People who gamble on stones!"

Uncle Zhang Wu uttered these four words slowly.

Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of such a person, nor had he seen one.

Before Gu Sheng could speak, Zhang Wuye explained: "People who gamble on stones, to put it bluntly, use source stones as stakes to place bets on winnings and losses, and the raw ore they get can be exchanged for silver."

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng was speechless. He didn't expect that such a person existed.

"No, I must find those goblin source stones!"

Gu Sheng said with a firm look on his face.

Master Zhang Wu sighed slightly, "It may not be easy to find the stolen goblin source stone, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Gu Sheng asked anxiously.

"Unless you can comprehend the essence of the 'Searching for the Origin of Heaven'."

Master Zhang Wu replied, "That book contains various secret methods about source stones, one of which can sense the location of extremely high-energy source stones."

Gu Sheng frowned, feeling that this was the only way.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, Gu Sheng saw that Uncle Zhang Wu was also tired. After all, he was old and did not have the energy of young people.

Then, after Master Zhang Wu had rested, Gu Sheng directly used his divine power to fly above the Stone Village.

He released his spiritual sense, trying to sense the location of the goblin source stone.

But after sensing it several times in a row, there was still no result.

Gradually, the eastern sky began to turn slightly white.

Gu Sheng went back and took a brief rest, and then it was daybreak.

The goblin source stone has been lost. What we need to do now is to comprehend the "Source-Seeking Heavenly Book" to find the lost source stone as soon as possible.

In this way, Gu Sheng began to study the contents of the heavenly book seriously. If he encountered a question he didn't know, he would ask Master Zhang Wu for help.

Although he had not read the contents of the heavenly book, he had rich practical experience and was of great help to Gu Sheng.

In this way, Gu Sheng studied from morning to midnight every day.

This learning state lasted for more than a month.

Gu Sheng had a very high level of comprehension, and with the assistance of Master Zhang Wu, some small problems in the heavenly book were easily solved.

But this "Searching for the Origin of Heavenly Book" is divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower.

Gu Sheng frowned. Although he had already understood the first volume of "Seeking the Origin of Heavenly Book", the contents of the middle and last volumes were like a fog, making it difficult for him to glimpse its true meaning.

The remaining two volumes contain even more profound powers, but time is running out and the whereabouts of the Goblin Originium must be found as soon as possible.

"Xiao Sheng, you have done very well."

Master Zhang Wu looked at Gu Sheng's tired face and comforted him.

"This heavenly book is really a heavenly book. It is too difficult to understand."

Gu Sheng smiled bitterly.

"It's okay. The content in the first volume is enough for you to try to find the approximate location of the goblin source stone."

Uncle Zhang Wu reminded.

"Ok!"

Gu Sheng nodded.

Then he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize the divine power in his body.

In an instant, his consciousness gradually spread, trying to resonate with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

This is also the method of seeking the source recorded in the first volume of "The Book of Seeking the Source".

As Gu Sheng's divine power fluctuated, he felt a faint resonance.

That is the unique aura of the goblin source stone.

Gu Sheng followed the breath and slowly sensed the general direction of the goblin source stone.

"I feel it now!"

Gu Sheng opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise.

"where is it?"

Uncle Zhang Wu's face was also filled with excitement.

"It's five hundred miles southeast of Shitou Village!"

Gu Sheng looked towards the southeast and said.

"what?"

Uncle Zhang Wu was stunned.

That direction was Kaiyang City, a medium-sized city famous for its gambling on stones.

"Kaiyang City?"

Master Zhang Wu muttered to himself, frowning as he said, "There are all kinds of people there. If the Goblin Originium falls into the hands of lawless criminals, it will probably cause a big disturbance."

"It seems like it was really stolen by the gambling stone dealer!"

Gu Sheng nodded, and then said: "I must go there in person. I believe that as long as I get there, I can find the location of the goblin source stone more accurately."

Master Zhang Wu looked at Gu Sheng's determined eyes and knew that he had made a decision.

"Okay, Xiaosheng, you have to be careful. Kaiyang City is not like our Shitou Village. The forces there are complicated and intricate. You must be careful."

Uncle Zhang Wu reminded.

Gu Sheng nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do when we get there."

Just then, Ergou and Shilou walked in from outside.

"Brother Sheng, are you leaving?"

Ergou asked with a reluctant look on his face.

"Yes, I am going to Kaiyang City to look for the Goblin Originium."

Gu Sheng nodded and said.

"what?"

Ergou showed a worried look on his face. "Kaiyang City is too far away from us, and the customs there are very different from ours. I want to go with you so that I can take care of you."

"Yes, I'm going too!"

Shilou also nodded, indicating that he agreed with Ergou.

The two of them had firm looks in their eyes, and it was obvious that they had made a decision.

"Okay, you two can go together and take care of each other. Gu Sheng, although you are quite capable, the waters in Kaiyang City are very deep. I feel more at ease with these two by your side."

Uncle Zhang Wu also nodded and said.

Gu Sheng looked at Master Zhang Wu and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He knew that although Uncle Zhang Wu looked stern on the outside, he always cared about them in his heart.

Besides, I really don’t know some of the customs and habits here.

Having the two of them around can be of great help.

"Thank you, Master Wu."

Gu Sheng said gratefully.

In this way, the three of them prepared themselves and then set out on the journey to Kaiyang City together.

Five days later, the three finally saw the tall city walls of Kaiyang City.

Kaiyang City has a large population of about 300,000, which is in stark contrast to the desolate Stone Village.

Gu Sheng looked at the bustling crowd and couldn't help feeling a little excited.

I haven't seen so many people since I came to the Northern Territory.

Moreover, this place is different from the Stone Village they are familiar with. It is so lively that people can't help but feel happy.

"stop!"

Just as the three were about to enter the city, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

The cold voice made Gu Sheng suddenly stunned.

Then, Gu Sheng was about to ask the reason, but Shi Lou took the lead.

He took out a few ordinary Originiums from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the soldiers guarding the city.

“This is our entry fee.”

Shi Lou said with a faint smile.

The soldier took the Originium and showed a satisfied smile on his face, "That's pretty good."

Gu Sheng glanced at the soldiers with some confusion.

Seeing this, Ergou explained to him: "Brother Sheng, here in Kaiyang City, source stones are the most valuable. If you want to enter the city, you must give some benefits, and that is source ore."

"So that's it."

Gu Sheng nodded, and had a deeper understanding of the rules of Kaiyang City.

Here, Originium is a source of energy and a symbol of power and wealth.

After the three of them entered the city, Gu Sheng immediately felt the prosperity of Kaiyang City.

There are shops lining both sides of the street, with all kinds of hawking sounds coming one after another and the street is bustling with people.

They passed through several busy streets and came to an inn called "Yuanshiju".

"Let's just stay here."

Gu Sheng suggested.

Ergou and Shilou both agreed.

You know, if you want to find the goblin source stone in Kaiyang City, you must first settle down and then slowly inquire about the news.

After settling down in "Yuanshiju", Gu Sheng began his search plan.

He knew that the Goblin Originium could not appear in Kaiyang City for no reason, and someone must know its whereabouts.

He decided to start from the gambling stone market, where all kinds of rare treasures gathered and where the most information was received.

The next morning, Gu Sheng brought Ergou and Shilou to the gambling stone market.

The market was bustling with people, and there were stalls selling all kinds of Originium.

Gu Sheng's eyes were sharp. While observing the source stones on the market, he also kept an eye on the people around him, hoping to find clues about the goblin source stones.

But they spent the whole day in the market and didn't find any trace of the goblin source stone.

But the good thing is that they collected a lot of useful information.

They found out that a mysterious source stone had recently appeared in the north of Kaiyang City, which was said to contain powerful energy.

Gu Sheng felt that this might be the Goblin Originium he was looking for.

He decided to go to the north of the city early the next morning to look for the so-called mysterious source stone.

After returning to "Origin Stone Residence", the three of them briefly discussed tomorrow's plan, and tried to hit the target with one strike! (End of this chapter)
