After a few steps, Gu Sheng brought Qingshan and the people behind him to the boulder.

"That's it?"

When Qingshan came to the side of the huge rock, he was stunned.

He asked, pointing at the boulder with a confused look on his face.

Gu Sheng nodded.

"Hahaha……"

Hearing Gu Sheng's earnest answer, Qingshan couldn't help laughing.

At the same time, others also followed suit and mocked.

"Is this kid crazy? Can this ordinary stone be a source ore?"

"I think the guy is crazy, but it's going to be fun."

"That's right. If he offends Qingxia Sect, he will suffer the consequences!"

Some onlookers who were looking for trouble were talking about it.

It seemed like everyone was waiting for Gu Sheng to make a fool of himself.

"If you don't believe me, you can open this stone and see for yourself."

Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.

Ergou looked at the current situation and thought that if they found that there was no source ore here, they would probably be drowned by these people's saliva.

To be on the safe side, Ergou asked in a low voice: "Brother Sheng, are you sure there is source ore in here?"

"Yeah, Brother Sheng, this is not a joke, right?"

Shi Lou's heart began to beat faster.

Gu Sheng's gaze was firm, as if there was a kind of magic that could soothe people's hearts.

"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure of. I liked this stone at first sight. I'm sure there must be source ore inside it."

Gu Shengyi said this with a solemn look.

Shilou and Ergou have blind trust in Gu Sheng, but facing the discussions of the people around them and Qingshan's provocation, they can't help but feel nervous.

But Gu Sheng's words were like a warm current, making them feel a little more at ease.

Qingshan sneered at the side, weighing a few ores in his hand, and asked Gu Sheng provocatively: "Boy, if there is no source ore in here, what are you going to do?"

"I guarantee with my life that there is definitely source ore in here."

There was no fluctuation in Gu Sheng's eyes, and he answered calmly.

"Okay! This is what you said!"

A cunning look flashed in Qingshan's eyes.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly and asked, "If so, what are you going to do?"

"If there is, I will just swallow the stone chips!"

Qingshan was stunned, then spoke loudly.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Gu Sheng nodded and agreed without hesitation.

The conversation between the two made the crowd around them excited, and everyone was looking forward to the outcome of the bet.

Soon, everyone found a stone cutting master.

When the stonecutter saw that he was going to cut the huge rock next to the river bridge, he immediately shook his head and refused: "This stone is just an ordinary stone. If there was a source stone, it would have been dragged away long ago. You are wasting my time."

After saying this, the stone cutter turned around and left.

"Hey? Don't leave?"

Gu Sheng and Qingshan spoke at the same time.

"If you cut out the source ore, you will be given extra compensation."

Qingshan said directly in front of the stone cutter.

"Even if you don't have it, I'm willing to give it to you!"

Gu Sheng echoed.

"This……"

The stonecutter was stunned.

Judging from the current situation, he can make a fortune regardless of whether he has Originium or not.

"Don't leave? If you leave, it will be hard to tell who will win."

"We can't let the stonecutter go."

"Yes! You can't leave!"

Others followed suit.

At the same time, Gu Sheng and Qingshan continued to persevere.

"All right!"

The stonecutter reluctantly agreed and began to cut the stone vigorously.

"Stab, sting, sting..."

After the stone cutter was ready, he began the stone cutting work.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and stared, waiting for the moment when the stone was cut.

"God bless……"

Shilou and Ergou clenched their fists nervously.

Gu Sheng stood aside with a smile on his face, seeming to be confident about the outcome.

The stone cutter waved his knife, and every moment he moved the hearts of everyone present.

"Shhhhh!"

The skin of the stone surface is peeling off.

Not long after, the first cut finally came.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the half-cut stone fell down.

A cloud of dust flew up and everyone rushed forward.

"Tsk! What the hell is this! There's nothing here!"

"This kid lost completely!"

"Master Qingshan won."

The people watching the excitement were suddenly excited.

Qingshan looked at Gu Sheng with a smug look on his face and said, "Boy, what else do you have to say? It seems that the life stones of the three of you are mine, haha..."

After saying that, Qingshan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Brother Sheng... this..."

Ergou and Shilou looked anxious.

Gu Sheng smiled calmly and said, "It's too early for you to be happy. This side hasn't been cut yet."

Gu Sheng said this, pointing to the remaining stones standing on the ground.

"Ugh……"

At this time, the stone cutter beside him suddenly sighed.

"Young man, you are still inexperienced. Take a look at the texture of this stone."

As he spoke, the stonecutter stepped forward and pointed out the direction of the grain on the remaining boulder.

"The direction in which this stone was formed is this way. Look over here, it is formed by a geological rock layer. There is no way a miracle can happen. I think it's better to forget it and not spend any more money."

The stone cutter said this in a earnest tone.

"It's okay, Master. I know what I'm doing."

Gu Sheng still maintained a faint smile.

Qingshan looked at this scene and couldn't help but sneer: "Are you pretending to know? Even the stone cutter said it's impossible, and you're still holding on. It's ridiculous."

Gu Sheng ignored Qingshan's ridicule, as if he had already seen the secret inside the stone.

Because he knew that the preciousness of the source ore lies not only in its value, but also in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth it contains, which is incomparable to any ordinary stone.

"Master, I naturally believe in your experience, but sometimes, intuition is also important."

Gu Sheng said, taking out a piece of exquisite source ore from his arms and handed it to the stone cutter, "Please cut it again according to the direction I said."

The stone cutter looked at the source stone in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

In his opinion, these young people sometimes just like to take risks, and maybe they really have some special intuition.

"Okay, I'll cut it again, but young man, this is what you asked for, don't blame me for not reminding you."

As the stonecutter spoke, he picked up the tool in his hand and started the second cut in the direction specified by Gu Sheng.

The crowd around fell silent again, and everyone held their breath, wanting to see what the result would be after this knife strike.

Shilou and Ergou stood nervously by, their heartbeats quickening with every swing of the stonecutter.

The stone cutter's movements were skillful and quick. With a "click", a corner of the boulder was cut off.

He blew the dust off the stone and looked at it carefully.

"How is it? How is it?" Qingshan asked anxiously.

There was an expectation in his eyes, as if he also wanted to see if a miracle would happen.

The stonecutter did not answer immediately, but watched carefully.

Suddenly, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he saw an unusual light.

"This...how is this possible?"

The stonecutter's voice was trembling, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

The crowd around began to get agitated and they all pressed forward, wanting to get a glimpse.

Shilou and Ergou couldn't help but move over.

When they saw that faint light, an expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.

"Source ore! It's really source ore!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Qingshan's face turned pale instantly. He never expected that Gu Sheng's intuition would actually come true.

He looked at the source ore that was emitting a faint light, and his heart was filled with resentment.

Gu Sheng smiled, he knew his intuition was correct.

He turned to Qingshan and said calmly: "Qingshan, it seems you have to fulfill your promise."

Qingshan's face looked very ugly. He didn't expect that Gu Sheng could really find the source ore.

He swallowed and looked at the cut stone.

I saw that there was indeed a fist-sized piece of source ore inside, emitting a faint light.

"How can this be……"

Qingshan muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.

Gu Sheng ignored Qingshan. He turned to Shilou and Ergou and said with a smile, "See, I told you it's okay."

Shi Lou and Er Gou hugged Gu Sheng excitedly. They knew that they had really won the bet this time.

"This kid is really lucky. He actually found a source stone."

"This is just an ordinary piece of raw ore. What's so great about it?"

"That's right, I don't want this stone even if I give it to you!"

The people around also began to talk.

Some of them were envious, some were jealous, and some admired Gu Sheng's vision.

"Brother Sheng, you are so awesome!"

Ergou said excitedly.

Shi Lou also had a look of admiration on his face: "Brother Sheng, how did you find out that there is source ore in this stone?"

Gu Sheng smiled and said, "I will teach you slowly about what is in the "Searching for the Origin of Heavenly Book" when I have the chance."

After saying that, Gu Sheng walked to the end of the stone which was as big as a millstone.

"Master, please help me, cut from here to here, and leave me this much seed material."

Gu Sheng gestured the direction of the cutting knife.

"What are you..."

The stone cutter looked confused.

"There are still good things in here that have not been fully developed."

Gu Sheng smiled mysteriously.

After hearing what Gu Sheng said, no one present objected and all turned their eyes to the stone cutting master.

"Row!"

The stone cutter did not refuse and agreed readily.

When the stone cutter started to cut, Gu Sheng glanced at Qingshan.

His face turned green at this moment. He didn't expect that he would make a fool of himself in front of so many people.

"Stab, sting, sting..."

The stone cutter is busy.

After a while, all the places that Gu Sheng asked to be cut off fell to the ground, leaving only the stones he requested.

"What! This..."

Before anyone could react, the stone cutter shouted.

The stone cutter picked up the stone that Gu Sheng had specified with trembling hands.

His eyes widened, filled with shock that was not commensurate with his age.

This stone actually took on the shape of a palm, with distinct five fingers and clearly visible palm lines, as if it were a real palm that had been petrified.

"Palm cracking stone!"

The stonecutter almost used up all his strength to shout out these three words.

Everyone present was stunned.

Their eyes were fixed on the stone, and some even took a few steps forward involuntarily, wanting to observe this legendary palm-splitting stone more closely.

Palm-splitting stone, this is an extremely rare source ore.

It is said that some ancient powerful cultivators concentrated their power into this stone before their death.

It contains extremely pure spiritual energy and has immeasurable value for spiritual practice.

Those who know the business know that a piece of palm-splitting stone like this is worth as much as fifty kilograms of fine source ore, or even more!

"Oh my god...this kid's luck..."

Qingshan's face could no longer be described as pale.

He didn't expect that he would meet a gambling stone expert like Gu Sheng.

This time, not only did he lose face, but he might also have to pay a huge price.

"You...how did you find out?"

Qingshan's voice was trembling.

He really couldn't understand how a seemingly ordinary young man could see the extraordinary nature of this stone.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, and did not directly answer Qingshan's question. Instead, he turned to the stone cutter and said respectfully: "Master, your craftsmanship is really superb. This palm-cracked stone can be presented to us intact, and you have made an indelible contribution."

"Where."

The stonecutter shook his head, knowing that he was only doing his job.

What is really amazing is the story in front of us. It was he who discovered the secret of this palm-splitting stone.

"Young man, you have a unique vision. I admire you."

The stonecutter said this sincerely.

Gu Sheng smiled modestly, then turned to Shi Lou and Er Gou.

At this moment, both of their faces were filled with joy.

"Brother Sheng, you are so awesome! We are really going to make a fortune this time!"

Ergou said excitedly.

Shi Lou also looked excited and gave Gu Sheng a thumbs up.

"Cough cough..."

At this time, Shi Lou coughed lightly a few times, looked at Qingshan and asked, "Qingshan, you are a son of Qingxia Sect after all, do you want to keep your word?"

"Forehead……"

Qingshan was stunned.

He had just made a bet with Gu Sheng in front of everyone that if there really was source ore in here, he would eat the stone chips.

But now, not only ordinary raw ores are mined, but also palm-splitting stones with extremely high value are mined.

This is simply a slap in the face.

"I'm willing to admit defeat!"

As Qingshan spoke, he picked up a piece of stone from the ground and was about to swallow it.

But these stone chips are extremely sharp. If swallowed, they will definitely run rampant in your stomach.

By then, you may not even know how you died.

"Swallow it! Swallow it!"

Ergou was cheering on the side.

Qingshan stood there with the stone chips in his hand, looking at Gu Sheng standing beside him.

"Is there...are there other ways of punishment?"

Qingshan had a resentful look in his eyes.

"Ha ha……"

Gu Sheng smiled and said, "Yes, of course, but I don't know if you, a young master from Qingxia Sect, are willing to do it."

"In what way?"

Qingshan put the stone chips down, looked at Gu Sheng expectantly and asked. (End of this chapter)
