I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

"However, let's get one thing straight. We can't continue cutting stones at this particular stone workshop. We need to expand the scope to the entire Holy City."

The possibility of finding immortal gold or an immortality elixir within the Dao Yi Stone Workshop exists, but it's not very high. It's better to go to the Yao Guang Stone Workshop for the Qilin immortality elixir.

What if the Yao Guang Stone Workshop hasn't found that particular stone yet at this point?

Flip the table and run!

No extreme emperor weapon can stop me.

Furthermore, extreme emperor weapons are generally used by the various holy lands and aristocratic families to suppress their foundations, and they are not used lightly.

Just like in the original story, when Jiang Taixu revived in the Holy City, the Jiang family used the Hengyu Furnace for protection, and as a result, the Jiang family headquarters was attacked, suffering heavy losses. Therefore, extreme emperor weapons cannot be used lightly.

If someone were to specifically come here to block him with an extreme emperor weapon, then they would definitely be a transmigrator or a reborn individual.

Li Daoming was dissatisfied, "The entire Holy City? Wouldn't that take a lot of time? Unacceptable, unacceptable."

Luo Mo didn't mind, "What does Senior think we should do?"

"There should be some restrictions."

Luo Mo thought for a moment, glanced at the several silent great powers over there, and then said, "Then how about this? Within one day, but I want to choose three stones."

"No, we can't wait for you for a whole day!" Li Daoming retorted.

"Agreed."

A great power spoke, the senior brother of the Holy Master of the Zifu Holy Land, a powerful old man.

"Just one day." A great power from the Ji family also spoke.

"If you feel it's not enough, two days is fine." Another great power opened his mouth.

"? ? ?"

Li Daoming was dumbfounded. Why were the great powers speaking up for this kid?

The Black Emperor's dog brain couldn't figure it out either. He transmitted his thoughts to Luo Mo: 'Do you know them?'

'I don't know them.'

'Then why are they speaking up for you?'

'They are helping themselves. They are simply interested in the profit model of the gambling game, wanting to use me as a tool to harvest leeks... The people of Beidou are very monotonous in their entertainment, but after all, it is a world where the strong prey on the weak, so there is no need for so many twists and turns.'

Only then did the Black Emperor understand that those great powers were not on their side.

'How much do they want to split?'

'Are you stupid? They definitely want it all, and in order to avoid public anger, they will throw all the blame on us and make us disappear from the face of the earth.'

'Woof! What do we do?'

'What's there to be afraid of? Just a few great powers. There isn't even a Dao-severing King among them. If a Saint came, I definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it, but their words can't hold me back at all.'

'Really? Don't mess this up.'

The Black Emperor chose to believe Luo Mo, after all, he had many treasures in his possession.

With the support of the great powers, Li Daoming and the others had no choice but to agree to this condition.

"Alright, within one day, choose three stones. If you cut out immortal gold or an immortality elixir, you win! Otherwise, we win!"

"We win." The old man next to him added, he could see that Li Daoming was a little out of his mind, but Luo Mo felt that he wasn't much better.

"Then it's settled. I have a total of 24 million catties of origin as the gambling capital. Everyone, feel free to bet. The more you bet, the more you win, the less you bet, the less you win..."

The big black dog shivered. He didn't feel anything when he first heard these words, but now, hearing them again was like the whispers of a demon.

However, the person speaking had a sincere expression on his face, "If you seniors want to join in the fun, hurry up and place your bets, but don't bet too much, just play around."

The old men smiled, calmly taking out several magical artifacts and putting them on the line.

"What do you mean by this, seniors?"

"We are nearing our end. Rather than taking these magical artifacts that we have refined for a lifetime into the coffin, it is better to take them out and gamble."

Luo Mo felt like he was visiting relatives during the New Year, and these old people insisted on giving him lucky money. He pretended to refuse, saying no, no, don't be like this, and they kept stuffing it at him.

Sigh~

Several old men who seemed calm and smiling were actually a little overwhelmed. Those savings were originally accumulated to buy life-extending treasures. They had just lost, so they might as well gamble again, otherwise, they would just wait to be buried.

"Yes, yes, might as well leave it to you, this young man, we are very relieved, it can be considered that there is someone to carry on the legacy."

These people had lost their minds and started talking nonsense.

In any case, they all placed their hopes on this gamble.

"Then thank you, seniors."

The scene was so harmonious that anyone who didn't know better would think it was a story of fatherly love, filial piety, brotherly respect, and fraternal harmony.

But everyone's heart was calculating their own gains and losses, weighing their interests, and their inner demons were quietly growing.

These old men wanted to win back, preferably win all of Luo Mo's origin, while Luo Mo wanted it all, to squeeze out their value, and even use their collapsing mentality to cultivate the Great Heart Demon Technique.

Since ancient times, one general's success is built on ten thousand bones. I will remember your contributions today.

Moreover, Luo Mo never showed mercy to gambling addicts, without any pity. His biological father in this life was still in prison.

"This old man has never seen a scene where immortal gold and an immortality elixir are continuously cut out twice, and I don't believe it." The third great bandit of the Northern Region also threw out 200,000 catties of origin.

"Senior is also joining in the fun? This is not good, I'm afraid I will have a hard time in the Northern Region in the future." Luo Mo also knew a little about sarcastic remarks. After all, joining at this time proves that he is also standing on the opposite side of Luo Mo.

"Hehe, this old man is not so petty as to get angry with a junior over 300,000 catties of origin." He had already lost 100,000 catties of origin, and now he took out another 200,000 catties of origin.

"I hope Senior is really that magnanimous." Luo Mo paid attention to the surrounding movements, calculating how many scriptures he could obtain if he used the True Spirit Seal.

"This old man is not optimistic about you either, I'll bet 250,000 catties of origin." Another great power also placed a bet.

"I'll bet 200,000 catties of origin."

"300,000."

"250,000."

The great powers entered the arena one by one, seemingly reaching some kind of tacit understanding.

They spent a lot of money to heat up the atmosphere, replicate and amplify what Luo Mo had done before, and attract other people to join.

If Luo Mo was with them, this would be called the gentry returning the money in full, and the people's money being divided into 30/70.

But they wouldn't share money with a mere Destiny Spring cultivator.

And the one day of stone selection time that Luo Mo deliberately left was for them to promote it. After all, he was just a lone wolf without a publicity channel. Even if he cut out a divine medicine, the news would only be limited to the Holy City and it would be difficult to spread quickly in a short time.

But if these great powers help, their channels will quickly spread the news to nearby and even more distant places, gathering more people in a short period.

More people also mean a larger pool of funds.

They believe that 'Fang Han' is a mantis stalking a cicada, possessing Source Arts, but Source Arts do not represent strength; they are the oriole.

But what if this mantis is a Void Predator?

Little oriole, what do you want to do?

“Eighteen million catties of pure Source, plus amethyst jade soil worth six million catties of Source, the house's stake is twenty-four million catties of Source!”

“The great powers are not optimistic about this Fang Han; their bets are too extravagant!”

“An earth-shattering gamble!”

“Even when the previous generation Source Heavenly Master dominated Holy City, there wasn't such a large-scale gamble.”

“However, the previous generation Source Heavenly Master won a Holy Maiden, truly a role model for us.”

Gu Manlu was shrouded in the hazy light of a secret treasure, her expression unseen; it's unknown what she thought of these words.

Under the great powers' secret instructions, their disciples and juniors mixed into the crowd.

“In my opinion, this Fang Han will undoubtedly lose; I'll also bet five thousand catties of Source!”

“Exactly, does he think immortal gold and divine medicine are cabbages? I'll bet twenty thousand catties; maybe I can get a small piece of amethyst jade soil to integrate into my magic weapon.”

The fewer people who participate, the more you win; that's twenty-four million!

But this is clearly unrealistic, because that's just how people are—

Some people feel worse seeing others earn than losing themselves!

And there are quite a few such people.

Moreover, the 'Great Power Alliance' opposing him is standing with him during the fundraising phase, also launching tactics to let people mix in the crowd to attract more people to join.

“I want to bet too!”

“Count me in.”

Luo Mo 'wondered': “Several of you seem to have lost quite a bit just now; there's no need to participate again, right?”

“Hey, fellow Daoist, what are you saying? We're just gambling for fun.”

“But you've even taken out your magic weapons.”

“It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.”

Someone even pretended to be angry and said: “Fellow Daoist, you can accept other people's bets, but not ours?”

Luo Mo 'hesitated': “It's not like that, but using a magic weapon refined throughout your life to bet doesn't seem very good; you're still young.”

“There's no need for 'buts'; it's decided.”

“I'll also place a bet.”

“Fellow Daoist Yao Yuekong, come and appraise the value.”

Good words are hard to persuade a gambling ghost, and Luo Mo didn't try to persuade them, only fanning the flames.

Before long, the gamblers' bets were on par with Luo Mo's capital. As time passed, more and more people came here, and more and more people joined in the excitement.

Seeing this, Luo Mo said: “There are too many people; I think we should stop. Return the Source and magic weapons; continuing like this might cause trouble.”

“No!”

“Absolutely not!”

“There won't be any trouble; rest assured, Fellow Daoist!”

… …

How could those who have already placed their bets give up? In their eyes, they have already earned, so how could they let the Source that has reached their hands fly away?

“Then I'll start selecting stones now. Fellow Daoist Yao Yuekong will help keep these bets safe until before the stone cutting, when bets can still be placed.”

Yao Yuekong looked at the various bets: pure Source, divine materials, spiritual medicines, magic weapons… He took a deep breath. Even though he grew up in the Heavenly Demon Palace and his family runs the Heavenly Demon Treasure Pavilion auction house, it was rare to see so much wealth piled together.

“No problem, the Heavenly Demon Treasure Pavilion guarantees it in name.”

“Wait!” A divine voice rang out, as if to break through confusion and cleanse the soul.

This power… where did this person come from?

From the nature of the other party's divine power, Luo Mo sensed a sacred aura that could break through evil and dispel inner demons. If it were this kind of person, they might be able to sense the clues of the Great Heart Demon Art.

After all, Luo Mo's Great Heart Demon Art had only just begun to be cultivated, and his cultivation was still shallow.

Luo Mo didn't know what changes had occurred, after all, he wasn't omniscient, so he secretly activated the Moonfall Bow, the Taiyin Divine River flowing torrentially, transforming into divine power and pouring in, ready to run away with the money at any time.

He now has a corner of the Human Emperor Seal, a quasi-Emperor weapon Taiyin Moonfall Bow, a Dao Tribulation Golden Spear, a Seven Stars Sword Array, and a Great Thunderclap Temple, inside which there are many Buddhist artifacts, and even a quasi-Emperor forbidden weapon of Sakyamuni…

With so many trump cards, no Emperor weapon in an activated state can keep him.

“There may be trickery; I hope everyone is careful.” A man from the Ji family stood up and said.

“Haoyue, have you discovered something?” The Ji family's great power asked.

Ji Haoyue?

Why are you showing up so early when you have nothing to do?

The man shook his head, “He seems to be stirring up people's hearts, so I judge that this matter may not be so simple, but I still don't know where the problem will lie.”

Several great powers frowned, exchanging information with their divine senses.

‘Whose family is this silly kid from?’

‘Mine, sorry, I'll make him shut up.’

‘Hurry up.’

Ji Haoyue frowned, receiving a divine sense transmission, slightly unwilling. But he could only listen to the elders and retreated behind the crowd.

The great powers smiled at each other, “Let's add another rule, that is, you can only select stone materials from the Heavenly Character Stone Garden of the major holy lands.”

They didn't mean to discuss it, just announce it.

A cultivator clapped his hands, “I understand.”

“So that's how it is!”

“Wonderful!”

Some people didn't understand, “What's going on?”

“It's like this, this kid must have some exquisite Source Arts, but he may have also obtained immortal gold and undying medicine outside, so he set up this scheme, and when the time comes, he'll select the stone materials he prepared himself—” The person explaining excitedly patted his thigh, “He must have exquisite Source Arts, maybe he discovered some way to perfectly repair the opened stone materials, after all, the Source Arts path has always been unfathomable!”

He paused, then continued:

“And several great powers have restricted the venue to the Heavenly Character Stone Garden of the major holy lands, that's because every stone material in the Heavenly Character Stone Garden is extraordinary, and the cultivators who frequent the Holy City Stone Workshop know it, it's impossible to fake it.”

“Oh~”

“So that's how it is!”

“This kid is really cunning, he actually wanted to swindle my two hundred catties of Source!”

Luo Mo: “……”

Cunning your mother, you leeks, you're about to be harvested and you still want to help people sharpen their knives.

Luo Mo was refined and gentle in his heart.

This is clearly a speech used by the Great Power Alliance to appease people's hearts, wanting to trick more people into joining, but he won't expose it, the world of adults is so dirty.
