After everything was ready, the three of them went to bed early.

The next morning.

Before they walked out of the inn, they saw several soldiers walking in arrogantly.

"Who's the boss?"

one soldier asked.

The innkeeper walked forward with a big smile on his face, "Sir, I am the owner of this inn."

"There's an order from above. The Fairy Yao Chi is coming to Kaiyang City to select mineral ore today. No outsiders are allowed to wander around the streets. Close your shop immediately!"

The soldier scolded coldly.

At this time, Gu Sheng had just come down from upstairs. After hearing this, he was stunned.

"Yaochi Fairy?"

Gu Sheng was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that the Fairy of Yao Chi would have such a grand ceremony.

As soon as she arrived, the entire Kaiyang City was sealed off.

While Gu Sheng was stunned, the shop owner had already taken out an extremely fine source ore from the counter.

"Sir, it's not easy for me to run a small business. As for closing the business... you see..."

The shop owner smiled a lot.

Then, the soldier handed the pieces of source ore to his boss, "Boss, look..."

The leading soldier glanced at the source ores and seemed quite satisfied.

"Okay, this store will remain open, but remember to follow instructions, okay?"

The leading soldier said coldly.

"Don't worry, we will definitely do as you say. We will definitely do as you say."

The shop owner still kept a smile on his face.

"go!"

Then, the leading soldier gave an order, and all his men left.

Seeing them leave, the shop owner's smiling face immediately turned gloomy.

"Damn it! They only know how to plunder ordinary people like us! Bah! What the hell!"

The shop owner cursed fiercely.

Gu Sheng looked at the shop owner's changeable expression and became secretly alert.

He walked up and asked politely, "Boss, this Yao Chi fairy is so grand, why is she making such a fuss?"

"Humph!"

The shop owner glanced at Gu Sheng, snorted coldly, and then put on a flattering smile.

"It's because Yaochi Holy Land has a high status and great wealth."

At this point, his eyes suddenly became lustful, as if he was recalling something beautiful.

"Let me tell you, the Saint of Yao Chi is the most beautiful woman in the world, and we mortals cannot compare to her."

After saying that, the shop owner burst into laughter.

When Gu Sheng saw his appearance, he immediately felt disgusted by the greasy middle-aged man.

"I see. Thanks for letting me know, boss."

Although Gu Sheng felt disgusted, he still nodded politely.

"You outsiders, you'd better keep quiet. After today, you can do whatever you want."

The shop owner waved his hand impatiently and turned to do other things.

Ergou looked at the back of the shop owner and couldn't help teasing Gu Sheng: "Brother Sheng, look, the Saint of Yaochi is so beautiful, how about I find a matchmaker for you and let the Fairy of Yaochi be your sister-in-law?"

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng looked at Er Gou speechlessly and shook his head, "What on earth are you thinking about all day? The most important thing for us now is to keep a low profile and not cause trouble."

"That's right, Brother Sheng is right."

Shi Lou also echoed, "Safety is the most important thing for us now, don't let anything else happen."

The three of them smiled at each other, and then started to have breakfast in the inn.

"We are so lucky to have the chance to meet the Fairy of Yaochi by following Brother Sheng."

Ergou sat at the dining table and said with a wink.

Gu Sheng could tell that there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Gu Sheng shook his head helplessly, knowing that Ergou was always a frivolous guy, but at the moment he was more concerned about the movements of the Yao Chi Holy Land.

If they are also after the goblin source stone, then it will be really troublesome.

"Stop messing around, Ergou. We should be careful. The grand display of the Yaochi Holy Land is probably not just for showing off."

Gu Sheng reminded.

"Brother Sheng is right. We should not act rashly."

Shi Lou on the side said in a deep voice.

After breakfast, the three of them walked out of the inn.

There are already fewer pedestrians on the street. Obviously, the arrival of the Yao Chi Holy Land has made many people choose to avoid it.

Gu Sheng and his companions walked slowly along the street, glancing around from time to time.

If you encounter patrolling soldiers, just take a detour to avoid trouble.

"Look, there's a scene over there."

Ergou suddenly pointed forward and said.

On the street ahead, teams of maids and guards dressed in gorgeous costumes were busy at work.

They are making final preparations for the arrival of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

The streets are lined with colorful lights and silks, and the entire street is decorated like a festival.

"It seems that Yaochi Holy Land is serious this time."

There was a solemn look in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"Brother Sheng, do you think the Saint of Yao Chi is really as beautiful as the legend says?"

Ergou asked curiously.

Gu Sheng did not answer, his eyes fixed on the movement ahead.

He knew that if the Saint Lady of Yao Chi came at this time, the situation might be different from before.

You know, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, every action taken by a major force may trigger a series of chain reactions.

"Let's find a place to hide until the incident with the Saint Lady of Yao Chi is over."

Shilou suggested.

Gu Sheng nodded, and the three of them walked back quickly.

After a while, they returned to the door of the inn.

Gu Sheng looked up and saw that there were a lot of people a few hundred meters away from the inn.

It’s not as strict as the ban here, it’s like two different scenes in one city.

Just at this moment, the waiter saw Gu Sheng and his friends.

"My grandfathers, why don't you listen to me and walk around casually?"

The waiter said speechlessly.

Gu Sheng smiled and said, "It's okay. Aren't we fine?"

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he pointed at the lively scene over there and said, "What's going on over there? So many people?"

"That's the gambling stone shop, which is also a distribution center for raw ore."

The waiter turned his head, took a look and spoke directly.

"One street, two scenes, what's going on?"

Gu Sheng continued to ask with some curiosity.

"That's the territory of Qingxia Sect. This side is different. It belongs to the main territory of Yaoguang Holy Land. That's why there is only one street like this."

The waiter replied.

"So that's it."

Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

"Hey? If that's the case, can't we go over there and have some fun?"

Ergou said this and was about to pull Gu Sheng and Shi Lou over there.

"Hey? Gentlemen! You better come back early and don't go over there."

The waiter reminded loudly.

"understood!"

Ergou replied without even turning his head.

Soon, Gu Sheng and the other two stood at the door of the gambling stone shop.

They saw the people coming in and out, and everyone had an expression of excitement or disappointment on their face.

Obviously, this is a place full of opportunities and risks.

The facade of the gambling stone shop is decorated with gold and jade, and two huge lanterns are hung at the door. If it is night, it must be able to light up the entire facade.

"Are we really going in?"

Shilou asked hesitantly.

As an honest mountain man born and raised in the mountains, he did not want to enter such so-called high-end occasions.

"What are you afraid of? It's just a gambling stone shop. Maybe we can get a good stone."

Ergou said nonchalantly.

Ergou has a carefree personality, which is in stark contrast to Shilou.

It was his eyes that flickered with desire for the unknown and wealth.

Gu Sheng didn't say anything. His eyes stayed on the sign of the gambling stone shop for a moment, then he nodded firmly.

"Let's go! Go in and take a look!"

After saying that, the three of them were about to step in, but were stopped by several burly thugs.

"You guys, stop!"

The leading thug looked Gu Sheng and the others up and down, his eyes full of disdain.

"You guys are dressed so poorly, is this a place you can come to?"

Gu Sheng frowned, not liking the feeling of being looked down upon.

"We're just here to take a look, aren't we?"

Ergou stepped forward and said.

"Take a look? Do you have money to buy source ore?"

The leading thug sneered, "Don't waste our time, get out of here!"

Just then, a young man in gorgeous clothes came over, surrounded by several followers.

The thugs immediately changed their expressions and came forward with flattering smiles on their faces.

"My Lord, you are here. Please come in, please come in."

The leading thug said with a nod and a bow.

The young man just nodded slightly, without even looking at Gu Sheng and the others, and walked straight into the gambling stone shop.

Gu Sheng looked at the young man's back and felt an inexplicable anger surge in his heart.

"Who is that?"

Gu Sheng asked the leading thug.

The leading thug looked at Gu Sheng with disdain, "Humph, you don't even know our Qingxia Sect's eldest son, you really haven't seen the world."

"That's right! He is our God of Wealth. You poor bastards should stop getting in the way here."

The younger brother beside him also echoed.

Gu Sheng's face darkened. He was about to use his divine power to teach these thugs a lesson, but he suppressed his anger again.

When he was in the inn before, he sensed through his spiritual sense that the goblin source stone was not here.

They come here just for entertainment.

It would be totally not worth it if I used my divine power for such trivial matters and was discovered by the people from Qingxia Sect.

"let's go."

Gu Sheng said coldly.

Then, he took Ergou and Shilou and turned away.

"Brother Sheng, are we just going to let it go like this?"

Ergou asked unwillingly.

"of course not."

Gu Sheng smiled and said, "It's not the right time yet."

Shi Lou nodded, "Yes, we can't be impulsive. The strength of Qingxia Sect should not be underestimated. We have to take a long-term view."

The three men left the gambling stone shop, but they did not go far. Instead, they stopped by a nearby river.

"Brother Sheng, what exactly are you planning?"

Ergou asked with an unhappy look on his face.

Gu Sheng looked towards the bridgehead not far away.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

At random, he secretly mobilized his divine power.

After a while of groping, Gu Sheng walked towards the huge rock more than one meter high placed at the bridge head with shining eyes.

"Brother Sheng, what are you doing? Why are you staring at that stone?"

Shi Lou asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"This stone contains a concentrated mineral source, and it is an ancient fine insect source stone."

Gu Sheng spoke in a calm voice.

Shilou and Ergou were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

"Brother Sheng, how did you know?"

Ergou couldn't help but ask.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "It is the heart formula in the Seeking Source Heavenly Book that allows me to sense the secret in this stone."

Awe flashed in Shilou and Ergou's eyes. They knew the legend of "The Book of Seeking the Source of Heaven", which was the treasure that all seekers of the source dreamed of. They didn't expect that Gu Sheng could actually master the secrets contained in it.

"Then what are we waiting for? Quickly smash this stone and find the fine insect source stone inside!"

Ergou said excitedly.

Gu Sheng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's go back to the gambling stone shop first."

"Go back to the gambling stone shop? Brother Sheng, what are you going to do?"

Shi Lou looked puzzled.

"Let's go show that young master of Qingxia Sect something good."

There was a cunning look in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"This……"

Ergou didn't quite understand, but still agreed with Gu Sheng's idea.

Then, the three of them returned to the gambling stone shop again.

When the thugs saw them, they immediately rushed out.

"What's wrong with you three? You just left and now you're back again?"

The leading thug scolded coldly.

When Gu Sheng heard the word "get out", he immediately became angry.

"You really can't talk!"

Randomly, Gu Sheng suddenly rushed forward.

Without using any supernatural powers, he beat all of them to a pulp using only his fists and feet.

"What are you doing?"

The leading thug asked with a look of grievance.

"You were the first to be disrespectful. Go! Call your master. I have a great treasure to show him."

Gu Sheng gave him a cold look.

"Big baby? Even if you have a big baby, you can't just beat us up, right?"

The leading thug felt even more aggrieved.

At this time, Qingshan, the eldest son of Qingxia Sect, heard that there was trouble outside and rushed out.

When he saw Gu Sheng and the others, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face.

"You poor bastards, you still dare to come here to cause trouble? Do you believe I will kill you?"

Gu Sheng looked disdainful, turned sideways and said: "I have a big treasure, why can't I enter the gambling stone shop?"

The moment Qingshan saw the insect source stone, his eyes immediately became greedy.

"Big baby? Show me now!"

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "Want to see it? Sure, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

There was a flash of anger in Qingshan's eyes, but in order to see the so-called big treasure, he still asked: "What are the conditions?"

Gu Sheng pointed to the gate of the gambling stone shop and said, "I want the best source ore from your gambling stone shop, and I want the protection of your Qingxia Sect."

Qingshan's expression changed. He didn't expect Gu Sheng to put forward such a condition.

But he knew that the value of this insect source stone was immeasurable. If he could get it, it would undoubtedly be a great help to Qingxia Sect.

"Okay, I promise you."

Qingshan gritted his teeth and agreed to Gu Sheng's conditions.

"Okay, come with me."

Gu Sheng said as he walked towards the boulder next to Qingshanchao.

At this time, the gamblers who were gambling on stones in the gambling stone shop became more excited than each other when they heard that there was a big treasure.

So they all rushed out of the gambling stone shop to find out what was going on. (End of this chapter)
