#327 - Gambling Stone Festival
The flawless, mid-grade spirit crystals were far more effective than Jun Wuxie had anticipated.
One catty of flawless, mid-grade spirit crystals contained roughly the same spiritual energy as three catties of ordinary mid-grade spirit crystals.
At the same time, the purity of its spiritual energy was extremely high.
Although the quality of the spiritual energy had not changed, the absence of any impurities allowed the absorber to refine it more quickly and rapidly convert it into true energy.
Jun Wuxie did not cultivate true energy, but the speed at which it was converted into blood essence was nearly ten times faster than that of ordinary mid-grade spirit crystals!
Moreover, its energy was relatively gentle, not as violent as ordinary spirit crystals.
"No wonder Taishi Workshop is willing to recycle flawless spirit crystals at five times the price! This kind of resource can increase a martial artist's cultivation speed to a terrifying level of nearly ten times. If it were auctioned off at the three major commercial firms, let alone five times, I'm afraid someone would be willing to buy it at six or seven times the price!"
Jun Wuxie was shocked. If he could obtain a large number of flawless, high-grade spirit crystals, why worry about his cultivation speed not soaring?
However, flawless-grade spirit crystals were too rare.
It only took him a short three hours to refine and completely absorb and convert one catty of flawless, mid-grade spirit crystals.
He faintly felt that he was about to break through.
His realm was already at the peak of the seventh transformation of the Starry Sky Realm.
Now, it could be said that he had one foot into the eighth transformation.
"It's still early, breaking through tonight is a certainty."
He calmed down and continued to absorb and refine the forty-catty mid-grade spirit crystal.
In order to save time, he absorbed it at the fastest speed, and the violent spiritual energy impacted his meridians, causing cracks, and his body felt like it was about to explode.
In the middle of the night.
With a loud bang, the cave almost collapsed.
His entire body was filled with golden light, like an enlightened divine king sitting there.
The moment he opened his eyes, a golden sword-like light burst out from his eyes.
"The eighth transformation of the Starry Sky Realm! There are still two minor realms before reaching the extreme boundary of this major realm. I wonder how difficult the extreme boundary of the Starry Sky Realm will be..."
He murmured softly, then restrained his intimidating gaze, and the golden light radiating from his body slowly converged into his body, and he got up and left the cave.
He stepped on the Divine Travel Without Distance and ventured deep into the mountains for tens of thousands of miles.
After going deep into this area, he slowed down and activated his Primal True Eye to check the surrounding situation and terrain.
It wasn't until dawn was approaching that he finally stopped among a range of low mountains.
This range of mountains had hundreds of peaks several hundred meters high, and in the center of these peaks was a main peak about a thousand meters high.
"This is the place. This intensity is just within the range that I can withstand..."
He murmured softly, then shuttled between the mountains, continuously striking out with his palms, evolving huge blood energy handprints and imprinting them on the various peaks.
He did not collapse the peaks, but injected blood energy into them.
Beneath the peaks, within the earth, certain mysterious fields changed, forming a closer connection with the central main peak.
By the time he had done everything, the sun was already high in the sky.
Looking at the time, he quickly rushed back to the main city.
He estimated that the people who had come to participate in the stone gambling event had all arrived, and the event would begin soon.
He didn't want to lag behind others. If something he desperately wanted fell into someone else's hands, it would be terrible.
Today, the main city of the Star River Zone was particularly lively.
When Jun Wuxie entered the city, he heard people on the street discussing the Taikoo Stone Workshop's stone gambling event all the way.
When he arrived at the Taishi Stone Workshop, it was still the same Lin Garden as yesterday, but it was crowded with people.
The difference was that this Lin Garden looked even bigger than yesterday.
It was obvious that a space formation had been activated, expanding the area here several times.
The vast majority of people were obviously here to join in the fun, surrounding the vicinity of the high-level area, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
But even with so many people, it didn't seem too crowded in the Lin Garden.
Around the stone cutting platform, there stood many people, all of whom were extraordinary, men and women, old and young.
Among them were many old people with white hair.
There was a road leading directly to the stone cutting platform from the entrance of the Lin Garden, which was very wide.
Jun Wuxie entered the arena and saw many familiar faces, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Su Ji had actually come, and beside him was a beautiful and delicate young girl, wearing a light white knee-length dress, with a head of silver hair falling to her waist, two small buns tied on her head, a slightly chubby face, a pointed chin that was still round, and lively eyes that sparkled with cunning.
Who else could it be but Su Xiaoxiao?
Jun Wuxie had a headache, why did this little girl also come?
He shifted his gaze away from Su Ji and Su Xiaoxiao and landed on a woman wearing a crimson Heavenly Silk long dress.
The woman had a graceful and slender figure, perfect in every way, with a head of black hair like a waterfall falling to her waist.
Her eyes were like two black gems, sparkling with intoxicating light, her eyebrows were like paintings, and her curved eyelashes were very long, and the half of her nose that was exposed was exquisitely carved from jade.
Shangguan Wanwan!
The sect master of the Demon Phase Sect of the Northern Plains Continent had actually come?
There were several old men and two middle-aged men beside Shangguan Wanwan.
He continued to scan the crowd and landed on a woman wearing a purple Heavenly Silk long dress.
She had a head of long hair as smooth and supple as purple satin, a pair of purple eyes that could make people lost in them, and a purple veil covered her face, but Jun Wuxie knew that under the purple veil was a beautiful and alluring face that was enough to charm all beings.
Yan Qingcheng!
He didn't expect to meet Yan Qingcheng here.
Ever since he separated from Yan Qingcheng in the back mountain of the Sect King that day, he had always had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Every time he thought of Yan Qingcheng's expression at that time, those words she said, and the various things from the past.
He felt a little worried in his heart.
He knew that Yan Qingcheng must have encountered trouble, and it was extremely big trouble.
At this moment, Yan Qingcheng's gaze was looking at Shangguan Wanwan, and Shangguan Wanwan's gaze was also looking at Yan Qingcheng.
Both of them had hostility in their eyes, and sparks seemed to collide invisibly.
Besides them, there was also a woman wearing an ice-blue Heavenly Silk long dress. Her temperament was very cold. Standing there, she was like a pile of frost and snow, like an ice sculpture.
She was also veiled, with black hair like ink, painted eyebrows, clear and beautiful eyes, as if ice and snow were condensed inside, giving people a feeling of purity and flawless, yet cold and ruthless, keeping people away.
"Who is that, the head of Bingyun Tower?"
Jun Wuxie saw several veiled women standing beside her, all wearing ice-blue long dresses, with similar temperaments, and their skin was very special, snow-white and crystal-clear, slightly glowing with ice and snow.
This was the characteristic of the women of Bingyun Tower, cultivating the Ice Muscle Jade Bone Art, each of them was like possessing ice muscle and jade bones.
Scanning over the crowd in Bingyun Tower, he saw people wearing the costumes of the Southern Border Imperial Spirit Sect, several old men, one middle-aged man, all of whom were full of energy, not angry but mighty, with a calm aura, and at the same time with a restrained wildness, with animal bells hanging on their waists.
His gaze swept over everyone one by one.
He saw the people from the Kaitian Sword Sect, the people from the Holy Gate, and the people from the Great Brahma Zen Sect.
There were also some people whose identities and status were obviously extraordinary, but he didn't recognize them, but he knew that even if those people were not the power-holding high-level members of the master-level forces, they were also the power-holding high-level members of the quasi-master-level forces.
"I didn't expect that the stone gambling event held in the Star River Zone would attract the power-holding figures of the major forces in the world!"
Jun Wuxie's expression was calm, but his heart was very surprised.
It seemed that the importance of this stone gambling event far exceeded his imagination.
The raw stones unearthed from the Chaos Ancient Mine were also far more precious than he had imagined.
He just didn't understand why Taikoo Stone Workshop would hold such a grand event in the Star River Zone, instead of in the highest-level Zonghuang Zone?
