Chapter 1638: Chapter 1508: Famous Throughout Du City

Ye Fan revealed a peerless rare treasure, a result that took everyone by surprise—no one expected such an outcome!

Especially those who bet against Ye Fan, their hearts were bleeding—hard-earned Spirit Stones were lost in one sweep!

"Damn, this luck is too rotten!"

All the participants in the bet turned green, nearly collapsing, cursing endlessly.

Especially Wei Xuantong, who at this moment wished he could slap Ye Fan to death. He thought he had won for sure, but was blindsided by the reversal and lost the gamble—the feeling was like flying high above the Nine Heavens only to be knocked into a pit latrine, the massive disparity nearly driving him to the brink of madness.

The Heaven Grade Spirit Stone Dream Blue is indeed precious, but when compared to the Chaos Purple Crystal, a Holy Object exclusive to a Great Emperor, it’s utterly worthless.

However, no one was currently focusing on them. Cutting out a Holy Object exclusive to a Great Emperor—Chaos Purple Crystal, undoubtedly an Immortal Treasure—captured everyone’s consciousness.

Immortal Gold is hard to find. Some Great Emperors spend their whole lives without discovering much, preventing them from refining their own exclusive Emperor Weapons, leaving eternal regret. It shows how precious this Immortal Material is.

"Brother Ye Fan, would you be willing to sell me this piece of Chaos Purple Crystal? I will give you a satisfying price."

Someone sent a voice transmission to Ye Fan, hoping to purchase it.

Soon, several voices of divine consciousness reached Ye Fan’s sea of consciousness, all projecting goodwill, hoping Ye Fan would sell this Immortal Material to them.

Though this piece of Chaos Purple Crystal is only the size of a fist, it cannot be used for refining a Spiritual Treasure, but it can indeed be used to repair an Emperor Weapon.

In addition, using the Chaos Purple Crystal alongside other Divine Materials can also refine a legendary Divine Weapon, significantly enhancing the quality of a Holy Weapon; it is undoubtedly a rare Immortal Material.

At this moment, many people were expressing goodwill to Ye Fan, seeking to acquire this piece of Chaos Purple Crystal, even though it was small.

"Sorry, the Chaos Purple Crystal is not for sale."

Ye Fan decisively declined these offers, as he couldn’t sell this Immortal Material—the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown also required Immortal Material for restoration!

"It’s really a pity, this is a Holy Object exclusive to a Great Emperor!"

Many were unwilling, desperately longing to snatch it, but with so many senior figures present, they dared not act rashly.

The people from Rongsheng Gambling Stone Workshop regretted so much that their eyes turned green, fixating on the Chaos Purple Crystal in Ye Fan’s hand, at this moment, even harboring murderous intent.

Ye Fan ignored the gazes of the crowd, collected a huge pile of Spirit Stones from the ground, glimmering brightly, a massive gain, acquiring an additional twenty portions of Spirit Stones.

"This piece of Dream Blue is also ours!"

Hu Fei grinned so widely that it almost reached the back of his head, directly went over, and reclaimed the Heaven Grade Spirit Stone Dream Blue from Wei Xuantong’s hands.

Wei Xuantong looked as if he had been drained of energy, went limp, collapsed to the ground, and kept twitching furiously, as if having a seizure.

"Hey you, yes you, stop looking around, I’m talking to you."

Hu Fei called to the young man who had been standing with Wei Xuantong: "Come over here to fulfill your promise and eat the stone skin!"

"This..."

Seeing Shi Ye gather a large pile of stone skin together, the man’s face turned green immediately, and he turned to leave.

Hu Fei swiftly stepped forward, grabbed the man’s collar, and said, "Kid, I already told you, if you dare not to eat, I will knock out all your teeth. Stop dithering and eat up."

"Haha..."

Upon seeing this, laughter broke out among the surrounding crowd.

If it weren’t for the deep backgrounds of the stone workshops, prohibiting fights, this person might have already turned hostile, feeling utterly embarrassed.

"You... let go!"

"A bet’s a bet, you said you would eat the stone skin. If you’re truly a man, keep your word and eat it down."

The man lost all face, wishing to dig a hole and hide, gritted his teeth, took out a spiritual artifact holding Spirit Stones, handed it to Hu Fei, and then slinked away, sparking another wave of laughter from the crowd.

"Everyone, what do you think this Great Emperor exclusive Holy Object is worth?"

Hu Fei fixed his gaze on Wei Xuantong, then posed the question to the crowd.

With this question, everyone fell silent. The Immortal Material exclusive to a Great Emperor is undoubtedly an invaluable treasure, its worth exceeding a million Spirit Stones is no exaggeration.

If it were to be auctioned off at the Treasure Pavilion, it might fetch a terrifyingly high price, as currently the Emperor Weapons of various Di Clans are severely damaged, urgently needing sacred material exclusive to Great Emperors for repairs, they would pay any price to secure it.

"So, let’s assume it’s worth one million jin of Upper Grade Spirit Stones, Young Master Wei, kindly compensate us with Spirit Stones!" Hu Fei approached Wei Xuantong with a smile and said.

"Uh..."

Upon hearing Hu Fei’s words, Wei Xuantong’s mouth twitched and then he fainted on the spot.

A million catties of Upper Grade Spirit Stones, not even if they sold the entire Chi Xia Sect, they wouldn’t have enough, it’s a complete fiasco this time.

At the same time, several cultivators who had a good relationship with Wei Xuantong felt as if their hearts were bleeding, and even had murderous intentions—they lost miserably following Wei Xuantong!

"You are ruthless enough!"

A few people were tearful yet unable to cry. Years of savings were instantly gone, and they were now deeply in debt with no chance of recovering in the next decade.

"You deserve it!"

Hu Fei sneered: "When you were winning Spirit Stones from us, you were jumping for joy, more excited than getting married during Chinese New Year, ridiculing and mocking us—how do you feel now? To borrow your words that mocked us, you fell from the Nine Heavens right down to the ground, face first."

"You..."

Several were angered, but helpless, as they had long seen through it. Ye Fan’s Stone Appraisal Technique was astonishing; he had been setting up a trap, digging a pit for them.

At this moment, even the elderly individuals with significant backgrounds surrounding Ye Fan treated him with great respect; they did not want to tempt fate.

By now, these elders understood well — Ye Fan’s skill in stone gambling was profound, his Stone Appraisal Technique extraordinary. Naturally, they wanted to win him over; even if they couldn’t acquire the Chaos Purple Crystal from him, befriending such a genius was absolutely beneficial.

Many shared this thought, offering olive branches to Ye Fan, hoping to establish good relations. They valued not just the Chaos Purple Crystal and Heaven Grade Spirit Stones, but more importantly, his Stone Appraisal Technique.

Numerous people, with this intent, made deliberate efforts to befriend Ye Fan, believing there would be great benefits in the future.

However—

Ye Fan rejected them all, having discovered the Ancient Emperor’s exclusive Immortal Gold, he was undoubtedly at the center of attention, with countless eyes watching him. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

At such a time, one must not become complacent, or it could invite disaster.

Seeing Ye Fan had no intention of selling this piece of Immortal Gold, many felt regretful. This piece, though small, if known to the Di Clan who possessed incomplete Emperor Weapons, would cause a fierce competition, regardless of the price.

The Chaos Purple Crystal uproar gradually subsided, and Ye Fan left the Rongsheng Gambling Stone Workshop under the protection of a powerful figure comparable to a Holy Land Supreme Elder, returning to the Immortal Academy’s local office.

...

Night fell, the Bright Moon hung in the sky, moonlight like water illuminated all of Du City, marking the beginning of its nightlife.

By the eastern part of the city, amidst Mirror Lake, music and clear female singing could be heard from a pleasure boat, while various teahouses and taverns began to bustle. Many cultivators enjoyed this lifestyle, experiencing the mundane human aura amidst monotonous cultivation.

This stone betting round had far-reaching effects. Many from the Di Clan came to Rongsheng Gambling Stone Workshop, hoping to meet this young genius who uncovered Chaos Purple Crystal.

At this moment, a tempest swept through Du City, attracting many young geniuses hoping to try their luck and unearth Immortal Treasures.

Influenced by the Chaos Purple Crystal incident, the small Du City became unprecedentedly lively, with many stone workshops packed to capacity, not excluding those of smaller powers.

However, all these had nothing to do with Ye Fan. Upon returning to the Immortal Academy’s local office in Du City, Ye Fan immediately delved into the various secret techniques within the Dragon Seeking Formulas, essentially remaining secluded.

The Dragon Seeking Formulas were vast and profound. Ye Fan found methods recorded within to observe the orientation of mountain and river terrains were akin to Earth’s Feng Shui, yet far more advanced, undoubtedly Divine Arts.

Through observing terrain, the direction of dragon veins could help deduce if there were Spirit Stone Veins underground, determining whether it’s a barren deposit or a rich one.

When cultivated to a high realm, a mere glance would reveal the presence of Spirit Stone Veins, Dragon Energy, Dragon Essence underground, even corresponding with celestial stars, harnessing Star Power.

Of course, Ye Fan was far from reaching that realm yet. He barely managed to wield Earth Vein Dragon Qi in combat after studying Liang Boyao’s methods and refining this part of the secret techniques within the Dragon Seeking Formulas.

"Ye Zi, you’ve truly made a name for yourself, your deeds are being discussed all over Du City. Many major powers are seeking you out, hoping to recruit you into their sects or Holy Lands."

One day, Hu Fei came in from outside, bringing this news to Ye Fan. Currently, Du City was abuzz with talks about Ye Fan setting a trap that cost others twenty branches of Spirit Stones. His Stone Appraisal Technique was highly praised.

"The mouth’s theirs, so they can say whatever they want." Ye Fan cared little for outside events.

"By the way, there’s something related to you!"

Hu Fei laughed, saying: "Remember that Eldest Young Master Wei who acted all high and mighty? He’s had the worst luck; lost everything and owed enormous Spirit Stone debt, then got beaten into a pulp by the Sect Leader of Chi Xia Sect upon return, dead and gone..."

"Greedy hearts are insatiable, blame his dark heart, not me!"

Ye Fan shook his head, words devoid of mercy.

Because...

He knew, if he lost, Wei Xuantong definitely wouldn’t spare him!
