Chapter 76 – Two million divine sources at an astronomical price, Chen Changsheng gambles with stones

Jiang Feng walked over, and everyone straightened their clothes, ready to present their best selves.

However, Jiang Feng's next action left everyone stunned.

He bypassed everyone and went straight to Chen Changsheng, who was casually chatting with someone.

"The Kunlun Stone House has not been hospitable enough, I hope you won't take offense, young friend."

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng stopped chatting and cupped his hands, "Elder Jiang, you're too kind. It's my honor to visit the Kunlun Stone House and broaden my horizons."

With that, the two of them walked towards the pavilion as if they were old friends.

This behavior left many of the young talents dumbfounded.

Though they were all considered geniuses, they were nothing in front of truly significant figures.

Jiang Feng was also a genius, one of the top from the previous era who had survived.

In terms of talent, status, seniority, and strength, none of the people present could compare to Jiang Feng.

...

Pouring a cup of hot tea for Chen Changsheng, Jiang Feng smiled and said, "I heard you want to try your luck with some stones, young friend."

"Have you picked a target?"

Chen Changsheng replied with a smile, "I've picked a stone, but I'm a bit short on divine source to afford it."

"So I have to use some scraps as collateral. I wonder if the Kunlun Stone House accepts such things?"

"Hahaha!"

"You're joking, young friend. Divine source is valuable but cumbersome to carry."

"To be honest, I don't even have a hundred thousand divine sources on me."

Jiang Feng chatted warmly with Chen Changsheng, while in the crowd not far away, someone watched with red eyes.

It was Zuo Jing, the third princess of Xuanwu Nation.

Watching Chen Changsheng, Zuo Jing clenched her fists.

At this moment, she felt an unprecedented humiliation.

This guy deliberately hid his true situation, not caring about the group of geniuses at all.

Recalling how everyone treated him a few days ago, Zuo Jing's face turned extremely unpleasant.

After some casual conversation, Chen Changsheng said, "Elder Jiang, it's getting late. May I choose a stone now?"

"Of course, young friend, please follow me."

Jiang Feng personally led Chen Changsheng around, and eventually, Chen Changsheng chose a stone that kept rolling.

The stone was only the size of a fist but was extremely smooth and round.

Unlike other stationary stones, this one could roll continuously on the jade plate.

Seeing Chen Changsheng choose this stone, Jiang Feng introduced it.

"This stone is called the 'Rolling Pearl,' taken from the depths of the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Zone."

"Interestingly, this stone was encased in another divine source."

"Kunlun Sacred Ground initially planned to cut it open, but due to its peculiar nature, it was sent to the Stone House instead."

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng picked up the "Rolling Pearl" and said, "Is that so?"

"What's so special about this stone?"

"Since you dare to gamble on stones in the inner courtyard, young friend, you must have some knowledge about stones encasing divine sources."

"Stones encasing divine sources cannot be penetrated by spiritual power or divine sense."

"But this stone is different; spiritual power and divine sense can penetrate it, yet they disappear without a trace."

Listening to Jiang Feng's explanation, Chen Changsheng examined the Rolling Pearl and said,

"Among many stones, there's one called Black Charcoal Stone."

"This stone also absorbs divine sense and spiritual power, and its shape is ever-changing and elusive."

"Interestingly, its weight is very similar to that of a divine source."

"When Black Charcoal Stone is encased in some stone skin, it creates the illusion of containing a divine source."

"If the stone skin of this 'Rolling Pearl' is very thin and encases a piece of Black Charcoal Stone inside,"

"It would create the phenomenon where divine sense penetrates but then disappears."

"That's probably why Kunlun Sacred Ground didn't cut this stone open due to the high risk."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Jiang Feng smiled, "You make a good point, young friend."

"But the Stone House is a place for gambling on stones. If we were sure of what's inside, why wouldn't Kunlun Sacred Ground open it ourselves?"

"Isn't that right, young friend?"

"Elder Jiang is right. How much divine source does this 'Rolling Pearl' require?"

"Two million divine sources!"

Jiang Feng calmly stated an astronomical figure, then smiled at Chen Changsheng.

The stones in the inner courtyard of the Stone House were prepared for powerful figures.

A young man daring to gamble here must have an extraordinary background.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have personally come to entertain this junior.

"Hiss~"

Hearing this astronomical figure, all the geniuses present gasped, even Zi Ning frowned at the price.

Two million divine sources, this number far exceeded the resources she could mobilize.

Even as the Saintess of the Zifu, she could only mobilize about three hundred thousand divine sources.

Even if she counted all her assets, it would barely reach five hundred thousand divine sources.

She had heard that the stones in the inner courtyard of the Stone House were exorbitantly priced, but she never imagined the price would be this high.

"Two million divine sources, the price is not high, quite reasonable."

Just as everyone was marveling at the exorbitant price, Chen Changsheng's calm voice rang out.

Everyone: ???

Do you even hear what you're saying?

Two million divine sources is reasonable? I'll sell you one, do you want it?

Ignoring the surprised expressions of the crowd, Chen Changsheng waved his right hand, and a dark shadow was thrown to the ground.

"Boom!"

The shadow created a dent in the soft grass, and Chen Changsheng looked at the "Rolling Pearl" nonchalantly and said,

"Elder Jiang, please appraise it!"

Seeing what was on the ground, Jiang Feng exclaimed, "Purple Gold Copper Mother!"

Sensing Jiang Feng's surprised tone, Chen Changsheng finally shifted his gaze from the "Rolling Pearl" to Jiang Feng.

"Why so surprised, Elder Jiang?"

"With Kunlun Sacred Ground's vast resources, surely you have Purple Gold Copper Mother."

"I've seen Purple Gold Copper Mother before; it's a top-tier material for crafting and the best for making alchemy furnaces."

"But Purple Gold Copper Mother is rare, and I've never seen a piece as big as a washbasin."

"It's alright, I found this at my doorstep. Just give me a fair price, Elder Jiang."

Everyone: "..."

Why can't I find such things at my doorstep?

Hearing this, Jiang Feng thought for a moment and then offered a price of eight hundred thousand divine sources.

"The price is fair."

"Boom!"

Chen Changsheng casually said, then tossed out another piece of metal.

The appearance of this metal made even Jiang Feng unable to remain calm.

"Young friend, where did you get this?"

"Dug it up while farming."

Jiang Feng: "..."

If you're going to make up a story, at least make it believable.

Chen Changsheng didn't care at all about the two metals he took out, because he had plenty more.

Thunder Beasts naturally had a talent for exploring various metal ores and fed on them.

After Chen Changsheng wiped out the Thunder Beasts of the Ten Thousand Mountains, their possessions naturally fell into his hands.
