Chapter 47 Earthly Fate Fruit
The group owner, Qin Feng, initiated a group video call.
[Qin Feng: The promised live stream of jade gambling.]
[Lu Mingfei: Oh my gosh, it's here! The exciting moment for the group admin to make a fortune! By the way, what exactly are these rules? I don't quite understand!]
[Wang Xuan: Winner takes all, or more precisely, the winner gets double. The party who offers the higher-value item receives the other party's item, and the other party must compensate for the difference in value between the two items.]
[Xiao Yan: It's like the group owner offering a treasure worth 500,000, and the other party offering 100,000, then the other party still has to give the group owner another 400,000.]
[Lu Mingfei: I see.]
[Luo Feng: This is truly a high-stakes gamble; a single strike could make you rich or poor.]
[Xiao Yan: No, no, no, it's all for the group owner's sake. If you look closely, the group owner is almost bursting into laughter.]
[Lu Mingfei: But why do I feel like the group admin's gaze keeps lingering on those pretty girls?]
[Wang Xuan: Lao Qin has a keen eye for discovering and appreciating beauty.]
Qin Feng: Cough cough, don't talk nonsense. I'm doing this for you guys.
During their casual conversation, Dao Yi Saintess led everyone to the secluded Heavenly Stone Garden.
Apart from Qin Feng and Ouyang Feng, who were gambling on stones, no one else was allowed to enter; they could only watch from the outside.
Inside the garden sat an old Taoist priest, cross-legged on a futon. His age was difficult to discern; he remained motionless, clearly a master.
There were four or five elderly people inside selecting stones; they were all senior elders from various powerful factions.
Under normal circumstances, only wealthy older generations dare to enter the top-tier stone garden; younger generations like Qin Feng and Ouyang Feng are exceptions.
For a moment, the gray-haired old men couldn't help but cast curious glances at them.
Especially when they heard that the two younger generation were both prodigies in Source Arts and were about to engage in an earth-shattering gamble, the old men became even more excited.
Some started calling out to their friends, while others familiarly gathered around Qin Feng and his companion, introducing the various unusual stones in the garden.
Their eager sales pitches made them seem like local hosts to anyone unfamiliar with the area.
The old men were so enthusiastic because they were eager to watch the drama unfold.
They had always wanted to cut open the rare stones in the Tianzihao Stone Garden to take a look, but the stones were so expensive that even the older generation couldn't bear to waste their money.
Now that two "easy targets" have finally arrived, they naturally want to persuade and sell the stones they want to cut to satisfy their curiosity.
"Young man from the Ouyang family, a family renowned for its Origin Arts, I know you. I even held you in my arms when you were a child."
The old men didn't care whether it was true or false; they just made things up.
"Come, come, look at this piece. It was cut from a famous strange stone from Tianxuan. There must be some rare treasure inside."
On the other side, Qin Feng was also surrounded by two old men who were tirelessly promoting their products, leaving the local Master Yuan with no opportunity to use his skills and awkwardly following along.
Qin Feng completely ignored the sales pitches from others, letting them go in one ear and out the other, without being affected in the slightest.
From the moment he entered the Heavenly Stone Garden of Dao Yi Holy Land, Qin Feng had been silently searching for the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword and the Humanoid Elixir of Immortality.
Unfortunately, there was no sign of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man here. But then I realized that it was only natural, since there were still six thousand years until the year of the main story.
The rare stones in the Tianzihao Stone Garden of the Holy Land Stone Gambling Workshop are not always the same. Six thousand years is enough time to replace them dozens of times.
At present, Dao Yi Stone Workshop has neither the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword nor the Humanoid Elixir of Immortality.
Similarly, the Holy Prince in the Immortal Tomb, the Holy Prince's aunt in the Blood Sacrifice Altar, as well as the Qilin Divine Medicine, the Little Divine Silkworm, and so on... are probably still hiding in the Primordial Ancient Mine and haven't been mined yet.
"The Holy Prince can't be cut out, but the Heavenly Prince... Little Fairy Phoenix must still be in Yaochi." Qin Feng couldn't help but think.
Four thousand years ago, the sacred land of Yaochi had a close relationship with the Celestial Master Zhang Lin.
Master Zhang Lin entrusted several strange stones to Yaochi, among which was the son of the Immortal Emperor.
If we can't cut out the Monkey King, we could find an opportunity to go to the Jade Pool to open the Heavenly Emperor's box, and then gather our friends to barbecue the Immortal Phoenix Chicken Wings for a treat. That sounds like a good idea.
Just as Qin Feng was thinking about the taste of the barbecued Little Fairy Phoenix, Ouyang Feng on the other side had already chosen the stone. It was a rare stone fragment that Dao Yi Holy Land had "divided" from Tianxuan Stone Workshop, worth tens of thousands of kilograms of source.

The moment the stone skin peeled off, a brilliant purple light shone forth.
"Could it be... that the divine source has been opened?" Si Tianheng, the holy son of the Four Symbols Holy Land, was overjoyed.
"Truly worthy of being a descendant of a family of Origin Arts masters!" The Holy Son of Dayan nodded repeatedly.
"They're probably already scared out of their wits by the country road," the Holy Son of Nine Heavens chuckled teasingly.
Ouyang Feng was invited by the three of them, and all three of them joined in this jade gambling venture.
The thought that they could not only gain a large sum of money but also humiliate Qin Feng made their smiles even brighter.
"Don't be too happy yet, Daoist Youde hasn't been chosen yet," said Yao Wei, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang.
"This is not the aura of a divine source, but a different kind of amethyst source," the Third Prince of Great Xia said.
"Even if it's not a divine source, such a large piece of exotic amethyst source is definitely worth more than 30,000 catties of pure source," the young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace commented.
An uproar immediately erupted at the scene; the Source Arts family indeed possessed something.
In such a short time, he earned 20,000 jin... No, considering that if Qin Feng loses, he will have to pay an additional 30,000 jin, which is 50,000 jin.
For the younger generation, 50,000 jin of ore is definitely not a small number.
"Young Taoist priest, have you made your choice yet? Although there's no time limit for gambling on stones, you can't just keep lingering and wasting everyone's time."
"If all else fails, just take a gamble and pick the most expensive stone. Maybe you'll hit the jackpot and find something good!"
The successors of the Myriad Calamities Sect and the Illusion Palace spoke one after another, their words full of sarcasm.
In jade gambling, it's never true that the more expensive the source stone, the better the contents will be.
In recent years, some people have summarized the sales rate of rare stones from Tianzihao Stone Garden.
Ultimately, it was discovered that the more expensive the stone, the more likely it was to be hollow inside.
"Little Taoist, have you made your choice yet? If you don't, you'll be judged to have lost and have to compensate Brother Ouyang with 30,000 catties of pure essence," Wan Chu Shengzi urged.
Qin Feng remained unmoved by the comments of the crowd. He had already walked through the entire Tianzi Stone Garden and decided which stone to choose.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Feng walked up to a priceless stone priced at 150,000 jin of Yuan.
Just when everyone thought Qin Feng was really going to gamble away a fortune, they saw him pick up a decorative stone next to the priceless rare stone.
"Dao Yi Saintess, I wonder how much source energy this stone requires?" Qin Feng asked.
"This... Young Daoist Youde, this stone is just an ordinary decorative stone. If you like it, I can give it to you, but using it for gambling on stones is a bit... Please choose another one, Daoist Master." Dao Yi Saintess kindly reminded him, indicating that it was just a useless stone.
"No need, this one will do." Qin Feng made up his mind.
"Young Taoist Master Youde..." Dao Yi Saintess wanted to say something more.
"Saintess Dao Yi, perhaps it's best not to interfere!"
"I think they've completely given up on this narrow path!"
"Knowing I can't compete, I'll just find a random piece of junk to save money!"
"Yes, after all, the other stones in the top-tier stone garden weigh at least a thousand pounds each, so every little bit saved counts!"
The Four Symbols Saint Son, the Nine Heavens Saint Son, and others couldn't help but smile, looking confident of victory.
"That reminds me of something. The threshold for the Heavenly Stone Garden is a thousand catties, right?" Qin Feng waved his hand and threw down the Thousand Catties Source, then looked at the Holy Maiden of Dao Yi.
Dao Yi Saintess glanced at the old Daoist sitting cross-legged in the garden. Seeing him nod, she then had her disciple, Master Yuan, accept the gift, signifying that the transaction was complete.
After confirming the ownership of the stone, Qin Feng ignored the gossip and began to cut it.
There has always been a saying that divine objects conceal themselves. Even Qin Feng, who had studied the Origin Book, could only sense some abnormalities in the stone artifacts of Zhangjia Stone Village.
Qin Feng sensed a similar aura emanating from this stone.
Of course, if that were all, Qin Feng wouldn't dare to make a hasty decision.
The real reason he chose the stone was because of the Human Yuan Fruit within him.
As one approaches the stone, the essence of the Human Essence Fruit rapidly dissipates and is absorbed by it.
Click!
A large piece of stone peeled off.
Qin Feng slashed down again, and in an instant, a dazzling golden light shone brightly, accompanied by a strange fragrance. Just one whiff of it was enough to make one feel lightheaded, as if about to ascend to immortality.
"Could this be... the Earthly Fate Fruit?!" The old Taoist priest from Dao Yi Holy Land in the garden suddenly opened his eyes.
