Proving the Way of Longevity: Starting from Covering the Sky, Adding Points to the Way

Chapter 24 Master Liu Yuan

"No one has ever told me about this before, and I only moved into Tian Mansion half a year ago."

"So it is."

Wang Fa whispered, and then brought the topic to stone gambling again.

"As long as you are willing to take action, I will give 20.00% of the value of the source extracted from the stone to Master Liu Yuan afterwards."

Liu Yibai frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of stone is that? Take me there first to have a look."

Wang Fa smiled happily after hearing this and said excitedly: "Since Master Liu Yuan is willing to take action, from now on, you will be a guest in our city lord's palace."

Liu Yibai smiled on his face, but he knew very well in his heart that it was one thing whether or not to take action. If they were disappointed after taking action, they would never pay attention to him in the future.

"Master Liu Yuan, please follow us to the backyard." The middle-aged city lord took the first step, followed by Wang Fa and Liu Yibai.

In the backyard, a pond and green bamboos stand side by side, and in the pond, there is a strange stone with a unique shape that is half the size of a person.

"Master Liu Yuan, please take a look." The middle-aged city lord stopped by the pond, pointed at the stone inside and said, "This is the stone we want you to see."

On the side, Wang Fa called a few servants: "Bring up that stone."

The strange stone half a man's height was moved outside the pond. Liu Yibai stood there, looking at the pond in front of him. After pondering for a moment, he turned around and approached the stone.

His fingers touched the stone and slowly slid on its surface.

After observing for a while, Liu Yibai put down his hand and squatted in front of the stone, lost in thought.

Wang Fa approached Liu Yibai and asked curiously, "How is it, Master Liu Yuan?"

Seeing that Liu Yibai was silent for a long time, the middle-aged city lord couldn't help it. He couldn't help but doubt the true ability of the man in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "It's been half a stick of incense, haven't you noticed yet?"

Finally, Liu Yibai stood up, and did not look at Wang Fa or Wang Fa. Instead, he looked at the pond, as if talking to himself, and said, "Actually, it's not this stone that we want to look at, right?"

The middle-aged city lord was stunned and immediately said: "Why do you say that?"

"First of all, after the stone was moved out, there was a deep imprint in the pond, which shows that the stone has been placed here for a long time."

"Furthermore, since the stone is already here, why don't you two open it? Do you really want me to take a few looks to make sure there is no source inside it?"

Hearing this, Wang Fasan smiled and said: "It seems that Master Liu Yuan is smart and can't hide it from you... To be honest, we really want to use this stone to test you, but look at the current situation..."

"Wait a minute."

The middle-aged city lord suddenly interrupted, looked at Liu Yibai and said, "Master Liu Yuan just said that there is no source here?"

Liu Yibai nodded calmly.

The middle-aged city lord sneered: "Master Liu Yuan may not know that although this stone is placed in the pond as an ornamental object, I bought it from the Gambling Stone Workshop a year ago at a cost of ten thousand jin."

"Oh?" Liu Yibai was surprised, although he guessed that the two were using this stone to test himself, but at the same time, he also checked the stone with the source technique.

The result is that there is no source inside, just a uniquely shaped stone.

I don't understand, someone would spend thousands of pounds of pure source to buy such an ordinary stone?

The middle-aged city lord continued: "At that time, several people in the gambling stone shop looked at it and they all said that this stone contained rare sources. Finally, after raising the price, I bought it. Now you are asserting that there is no source in it? Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Liu Yibai was stunned, didn't those people who agreed after seeing it just have full support?
Obviously, the man in the gambling stone shop deceived the city lord, and to this day, a year later, he is still kept in the dark. "Why don't you dare?" Liu Yibai saw the opportunity and immediately agreed, preparing to reap a wave of benefits, so he added: "How do you want to bet?"

The middle-aged city lord said: "If there is a source here, take off your clothes, write the words "I don't understand the source technique" on your back, and run around the entire city."

Play so hard?

Liu Yibai smacked his lips and said, "What if there is no source?"

The middle-aged city lord snorted coldly: "If there is no source, then I will take off my clothes, write the words "You are the source master" on the back, and run around the city."

Looking at the two people on the bar, Wang Fa stepped forward and said with a smile to Liu Yibai: "Master Liu Yuan, why go to war for this?"

As he said that, he turned to look at the city lord again, changed his expression, and cursed: "Han Sheng, Master Liu Yuan is the distinguished guest I invited. Is this interesting to you?"

At this time, Liu Yibai shook his head and said, "It's really not interesting."

Not far away, the middle-aged city lord named Han Sheng sneered: "Why, the dignified Master Liu Yuan is actually afraid?"

"No." Liu Yibai suddenly smiled and said, "I just don't think it's interesting to bet like this."

"Oh? Then Master Liu Yuan said, how should I bet?"

"If you win, I will do as you say, but if I am right, I don't need you to run around in shame. As long as you pay me the same price as the pure source of the stone. Just a few kilograms."

"Okay, then I'll bet as you said." Han Sheng agreed.

Then, a stone cutter came out with tools.

He carefully began to cut open the stone. As the stone chips accumulated on the ground, the half-human-high stone became smaller and smaller.

By the pond in the backyard, Han Sheng and Wang Fa stared at the stones, while Liu Yibai stood aside with his arms folded, eyes closed and resting.

As time passed, the ground was filled with stone debris, and the stones gradually became visible, but there was still no trace of the source.

goo~~

Han Sheng couldn't help but gulped, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his heart skipped a beat.

Beside him, Wang Fa's face was solemn.

With the last cut by the stone cutter, the stone was completely cut, no trace of the Origin Stone was visible, and there were only piles of stone chips on the ground.

The master stone cutter put down his tools and sighed: "Report to the city lord, it's just an ordinary stone with no source inside it."

Han Sheng staggered, took a few steps back, took a deep breath, looked at Liu Yibai palely and said, "Okay, I lost."

Wang Fa didn't look unhappy at all. Even though his nephew would lose ten thousand kilograms of pure source because of this, he still smiled and said: "I believe that Master Liu Yuan will never make a mistake. Now, let him Han You have a long memory, don’t be fooled by others and still compliment others blindly.”

After Han Sheng dismissed the stone cutter, he said: "I spent [-] jins of pure source to buy this stone. As promised, I will give you [-] jins of pure source."

Immediately afterwards, Han Sheng ordered his servants to send [-] jin of pure sources, and watched Liu Yibai put these sources into the sea of ​​wheels with his own eyes.

Han Sheng's face was expressionless and silent, but his heart was bleeding. At the same time, he also sent greetings to all the eighteen generations of those damn stooge ancestors in his heart.
