Clusters of wormwood and old trees grew wildly, almost submerging the building. It was obvious that no one had taken care of it for many years, and it had almost become a wilderness.
"I'm faint!"
Pang Bo was stunned because he actually saw a rabbit. Yes, a hare jumped out of the wormwood and rushed into the depths of the garden.
This is a sacred city. Every inch of land is valuable. Why is such a huge palace and garden in such a desolate state?
There is actually no one taking care of it. It has become a strange place with ancient vines climbing wildly and trees and wolves forest. It is really special. The most egregious thing is the appearance of wild rabbits.
Soon, Ye Fan found two more pheasants, flapping their wings and flying deep into the bushes. He was quite speechless, this was so unusual.
"What kind of place is this? In the divine city, would anyone be willing to abandon such a treasured place?!"
"This place... is the stone square of Tianxuan Holy Land." Shang Yi said.
Ahead, beside the road, there is a doorway as grand as a city tower, shaded by ancient trees. There is a mottled copper plaque on it, with two ancient characters - Tianxuan engraved on it.
"Tianxuan Stone Square?"
Zhou Yi said doubtfully.
Shang Yi said with deep meaning in his eyes:
"Back then, Tianxuan Holy Land wanted to bring immortality to the world, so it mobilized the power of the entire Holy Land to attack the ancient forbidden land. In the end, no one came out. So now, there are probably only a few people left in Tianxuan Holy Land."
Ye Fan and the other three were shocked. They had just come out of the ancient forbidden land.
When I think about it now, I suddenly break into a cold sweat. You have to know how powerful a holy land is, but it is still sinking into the sand in the ancient forbidden land.
If they hadn't had Jiulongla Coffin and Hetu Luoshu by their side, they might not have been able to survive even with the protection of Saint Rama.
Ye Fan asked:
"Don't you have any ideas about other holy places?"
Shang Yi sneered and said:
"How could it not be? Back then, there were only three or four people who escaped from Tianxuan Holy Land. How could they possibly be able to suppress all the Holy Lands that were watching eagerly? Many of the treasures left behind have been divided, including the Guangyuanyuan Mine outside the Taichu restricted area."
"Why hasn't this place been divided up?" Ye Fan was puzzled.
Shang Yi said with a meaningful smile:
"Of course it's because there are powerful people living in Tianxuan Holy Land in this world, which makes all the forces have some scruples!"
Zhou Yi frowned and suddenly said:
"Is this the backer you mentioned?"
Pang Bo and Ye Fan immediately looked at Shang Yi in shock.
Shang Yi praised:
"Yes, if you can intimidate all the major forces, you can naturally be our backer. And you also have the affection of my ancestor!"
As he spoke, Shang Yi walked to the door. The door was open. The dilapidated stone steps and the collapsed palace were all covered by vegetation. An old man with dim eyesight and a hunched back sat on a piece of bluestone.
Shang Yi took out a black bird jade pendant in his hand and stepped forward and said:
"Junior Shang Yi has met senior Wei Yi!"
Wei Yi took a deep look at Shang Yi, felt a familiar aura from the black bird jade pendant in his hand, and said:
"Are you his descendant?"
Shang Yi said:
"Yes, the junior happened to meet the ancestor before he and others left. He asked the junior to say hello to the senior on his behalf!"
Wei Yi nodded slowly and said:
"Since you are his descendant, the old man will naturally take care of you, but I will not interfere in the younger generation's fight!"
Shang Yi heard this and thanked him:
"Thank you, senior!"
Wei Yi shook his head and then said:
"Now that you're here, let's take a walk around this stone square!"
After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Shang Yi and others.
Shang Yi didn't say much. After all, the reason the old man could take a second look just now was just because of Long Qing's Black Bird Jade Pendant. If not for this, Wei Yi's temperament might not have spoken to them at all.
As early as after learning the information about the Holy City, they were very interested in the stone gambling, which is a major feature of the Holy City, so they were eager to try their luck.
Immediately, the four of them started walking around the stone workshop, choosing their favorite stones and preparing to take a look at them later.
Zhou Yi silently carried out the Fuxi Eight Diagrams in his mind and chose a piece of stone using the art of divine deduction. Ye Fan and Pang Bo did not have any means of source magic, so they completely followed fate.
On the other hand, Shang Yi looked indifferent and was not in a hurry to choose stones. Instead, his eyes were golden and generous. He looked around the stone workshop before selecting three stones.
Pang Bo said enviously:
"God of Wealth, you have such piercing eyes! I wonder if you can see through this stone skin!"
He does know that the stone skin of this stone can isolate spiritual consciousness, and only special means can be used to detect some of the mysteries inside.
Shang Yi said confidently:
"My treasure-detecting spiritual pupil is much stronger than the golden pupil. I'm afraid a mere stone skin can't stop my pupil technique!"
Pangbo said eagerly:
"Come, come, let's see which one of us cuts out the most precious treasure!"
As he said that, he took out a carving knife and started cutting the stone in a similar manner. Although Pang Bo was not a veteran of stone gambling, he had also seen videos of cutting out jade from the stone on Dixing.
So I imitated it.
It's a pity that although Pang Bo was very serious about it, he didn't ship it.
But he didn't care, but looked at Shang Yi and the others.
Ye Fan shrugged and said:
"I'll go first!"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of stone in his hand that was only as big as his fist.
Shang Yi's eyes flashed with golden light, and he immediately saw the extremely rich vitality bred in the stone, and he suddenly said in surprise:
"Huh?"
Pangbo looked over and asked:
"What's wrong? Is there a baby?"
Shang Yi looked at Ye Fan, and he felt the power of fate flash through Ye Fan's body, and he suddenly understood in his heart that Ye Fan might have opened the Human Yuan Fruit just like the original work.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Fan cut it open, he smelled a fragrance, like orchid and musk deer, refreshing and intoxicating to one's bones.
Peeling off the stone skin revealed a pink fruit, only half the size of a fist.
Shang Yi said softly:
"It's really a treasure. This fruit alone is probably worth more than 100,000 kilograms! This fruit is called the Human Yuan Fruit. It has many wonderful properties. If it falls into the hands of a master alchemist, it can produce a magical elixir. But
Extend life by fifty to a hundred years.”
Pang Bo suddenly shouted with bright eyes:
"So precious! You can become rich overnight!"
Shang Yi squinted his eyes and smiled:
"So this is why every holy place in the Holy City opens a stone shop. The stone gambling business is indeed a huge profit!"
Obviously, this gambling stone is no different from a casino. It is common to lose everything after losing money here.
Even the Holy Land family is jealous of the huge profits, which shows how huge the profits are.
However, Shang Yi knew that with his small stature, it was almost impossible to open a stone workshop in the Holy City. Without strong strength as a foundation, he was just saving money for those big forces.
Shang Yi can't rely on Great Sage Wei Yi and Emperor Bing for everything, as this is not conducive to their growth.
Later, Shang Yi summoned the cornucopia and collected the Human Yuan Fruit. The Human Yuan Fruit immediately fell into a cave full of vitality and earth energy, and gradually became larger under the nourishment of infinite earth energy.
.
This is the power of Cornucopia. Although it has no outstanding performance against enemies yet, its support to Shang Yi is equivalent to a top golden finger.
The cornucopia can absorb energy and transform all things. The most suitable cave for nurturing the human essence fruit is the cornucopia. If time goes by, the human essence fruit can evolve into the earth life fruit or even the god fruit. At the same time, the cornucopia can also copy the human essence at once.
As a result, Shang Yi finally understood that "wealth can communicate with gods"!
