#328 - Saint Yuzhu
Today's stone gambling event, this scene is truly astonishing.
It has gathered the ruling class elites from all continents, even the Lords of Dominance!
Besides these high-level powerhouses, there are also some extraordinary young people, who are obviously outstanding individuals cultivated by various major forces.
While Jun Wuxie was sizing up the people who came to participate in the event, he felt several cold gazes fixed on him, filled with chilliness and killing intent.
He met their gazes, and the corners of his mouth, hidden under the tattered cloth, couldn't help but curl into a sneer.
It was a gloomy-looking old man, two middle-aged men with sharp eyes, and a young man with a pale face, twisted features, and resentful eyes.
The young man was naturally no stranger; it was Young Master Mei, whom he had nailed to the courtyard wall yesterday.
Then, the identities of the old man and the two middle-aged men with him were self-evident.
The Mei family's higher-ups!
"Huh."
Su XiaoXiao, who was beside Su Ji, inadvertently glanced over at Jun Wuxie, paused on him briefly, and let out a slightly puzzled sound between her red lips.
Jun Wuxie heard the sound and looked over, their eyes meeting.
He was startled, this girl must have sensed something.
He remained calm, gave her a very natural glance, and then shifted his gaze away.
At this moment, several women wearing snow-white silk dresses gracefully walked out from the inner courtyard, their lotus steps light, entering the arena.
Leading them was a very young woman and a beautiful woman in her thirties, followed by two youthful and beautiful women, one of whom was the female steward from yesterday.
Jun Wuxie was stunned, his gaze instantly drawn to the young woman in the lead.
The moment he saw this woman, he couldn't help but be surprised.
What kind of temperament was this?
He couldn't quite put his finger on it—classical, elegant, profound, ethereal…
The woman walked gracefully, as if stepping on the long river of time, coming from another world, another era.
Her black hair fluttered slightly, her eyebrows were very fine, with a slight curve, her eyes were large, the corners of her eyes were beautiful, the whole shape resembling peach petals, very similar to Yue Yao's eyes, but the look in her eyes was different.
The woman's eyes were ethereal, secluded, profound, with a hint of bewilderment, at first glance, it seemed as if they could firmly absorb people's gaze and mind, and then constantly sink into that seclusion and profundity.
"It is Yu Zhu's honor that everyone has come to participate in this event today."
The woman's voice was very pleasant, gentle and ethereal, giving people a very comfortable and refreshing feeling.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, but they couldn't see her facial features.
Her face was covered with a white veil, revealing only a delicate nose and beautiful, intoxicating eyes.
"Everyone, let me introduce you."
The female steward stepped forward, looked at the woman and the beautiful woman in the lead, and said to the crowd: "This is the Holy Maiden of my Taikoo Stone Workshop, and this is Elder Shui of my Taikoo Stone Workshop."
"Elder Shui, a pleasure to meet you!"
The group of powerhouses came back to their senses and hurriedly nodded in salute.
They could clearly feel the powerful aura lurking within Elder Shui's body, like an abyss, unfathomable!
This feeling shocked them.
You must know that they were already at the peak of the Sect Emperor realm, or even half-step Saint Sect.
How strong would someone have to be to give them such a feeling?
This Elder Shui is very likely to be a super powerhouse in the Saint Sect realm!
Taikoo Stone Workshop, an elder with the cultivation of a Saint Sect, this is simply too terrifying.
While the higher-ups of the major forces were shocked, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, since ancient times, Taikoo Stone Workshop has never participated in worldly disputes.
Their purpose is only to sell rough stones, and they are not interested in anything else.
"Holy Maiden Yu Zhu, truly immortal beauty, a person from a painting."
Everyone then greeted Holy Maiden Yu Zhu.
"Everyone overpraises me; Yu Zhu is just an ordinary woman in the mortal world."
As Yu Zhu spoke, she and the beautiful woman and others ascended to a high platform near the stone-cutting platform.
This high platform was not there yesterday; it seemed to appear out of thin air, but judging by its age, it was very ancient.
Obviously, this was due to a formation.
On weekdays, this high platform is hidden in the formation and does not appear.
"Today's event, my Taikoo Stone Workshop has not provided adequate hospitality, not even preparing simple tea, please forgive me."
Yu Zhu's voice was very gentle and ethereal, like heavenly music, "I believe everyone is already eager in their hearts.
Then Yu Zhu will not say more, please enter the advanced area to select stones."
"Holy Maiden Yu Zhu, may I ask if, when cutting stones today, regardless of what is cut out, we can take it away?"
The Mei family's old man said this.
His eyes were full of confidence. As the Mei family's Seven-Star Original Spirit Master, he was confident that he could cut out good things today.
Thinking of the rough stones transported from the Chaos Ancient Mine, his heart couldn't stop being excited and thrilled.
"Naturally, you can take them all away."
Yu Zhu nodded lightly and said, "However, if you cut out something particularly special, my Taikoo Stone Workshop is willing to offer twice its original price to buy it back.
Of course, we will respect everyone's wishes and will never force it."
At this time, a powerhouse asked with a puzzled expression, "I have a question that I don't know if I should ask."
"Please speak."
"Holy Maiden Yu Zhu, everyone knows that there is a chance to cut out rare treasures from the rough stones in the Lingxu Realm's Chaos Ancient Mine.
Why doesn't your workshop cut open these rough stones yourselves, but instead, sell them?"
"When my Taikoo Stone Workshop was first established, the situation was somewhat special.
The ancestor established a rule that no one from my Taikoo Stone Workshop can cut the rough stones from the Chaos Ancient Mine.
As for the reason, we do not know."
"I see…"
Everyone was stunned, half-believing, but they didn't dare to say anything more.
After all, this concerns the secrets of the Taikoo Stone Workshop, and to pursue it would be a major taboo.
Jun Wuxie couldn't help but feel a little strange.
The people of Taikoo Stone Workshop can't cut the rough stones inside the Chaos Ancient Mine themselves?
What kind of rule is this?
What would happen if they cut them?
He suddenly felt that this Taikoo Stone Workshop seemed to be getting more and more mysterious.
What kind of force is this? They don't compete with the world, so what is the point of selling rough stones to earn spirit coins?
"Everyone, please enter the garden to select stones."
Holy Maiden Yu Zhu gently waved her sleeves towards the advanced area.
Suddenly, the mist shrouded in the advanced area quickly dispersed.
An area several times larger than yesterday appeared.
Inside, there were rough stones of various shapes and sizes everywhere.
The smaller rough stones were only the size of a head, and the larger rough stones had stone surfaces resembling a wall, three or four meters high and five or six meters long!
Yu Zhu looked at the advanced area and said, "The rough stones in the edge area are the rough stones that have always existed here.
The rough stones in the depths were transported here last night from the Chaos Ancient Mine."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the depths of the advanced area.
There were thousands of rough stones there, and hundreds of them were the size of houses.
Even from a great distance, one could feel the air of time permeating from the rough stones.
People's eyes instantly became fiery, and many people's breathing became rapid.
It is said that a long time ago, someone cut out a superb spirit crystal stone containing a sealed holy medicine from the rough stones transported from the Chaos Ancient Mine!
Those were treasures that were hard to come by and difficult to find in the world!
And the force that cut out the holy medicine produced a half-sage several decades later!
What is a half-sage?
That is an existence that has stepped into the realm of sage!
It is a legend of this world!
The peak of the tenth transformation of the Saint Sect, the realm after breaking through the limit, a brand new field, supreme and overlooking the world!
Jun Wuxie's eyes carefully swept over the rough stones in the depths of the advanced area.
Seeing the marked prices of the rough stones, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
The prices are too outrageous!
The lowest marked price for those rough stones transported from the Chaos Ancient Mine was actually hundreds of millions of spirit coins, and some of them even reached the level of tens of billions!
"Once, a stone gambling master cut out a mutated spirit crystal stone containing a sealed holy medicine.
Today, I, the old man, don't seek mutation, but cutting out some top-grade spirit crystal stones, with my methods, should be no problem!"
The Mei family's old man was full of confidence and was the first to step into the stone selection area.
"Well, this old man will also try his luck."
Su Ji walked out and also entered the stone selection area.
Jun Wuxie was stunned, this old brother actually ran over to gamble on stones.
"Elder, good luck, if you don't cut out a rough stone, see if I don't strip you of your beard!"
Su XiaoXiao waved her small fist and said excitedly.
Jun Wuxie: …
Following closely, various major forces successively walked into the stone selection area.
