The Ancient Holy Body thinks I'm too extreme!

Chapter 123 My surname is Zhang, the arrogant Zhang! The shadow of the Holy Land families! (45th update!)

The Divine City is a place where the world's affairs converge, and news travels very fast!

This created a strange sight, attracting thousands of people to flock to one place.

The streets were packed with people, and many people who love gambling on stones had come to see this madman who was shouting that he wanted to gamble against the Holy Maiden!

Many masters of Origin Arts kept inquiring about Zhang Kun, wanting to gamble and win back the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword.

The Ji Family Stone Archway covers a vast area, stretching as far as the eye can see, resembling a royal garden.

Stepping inside, one is greeted by a landscape of strangely shaped rocks, lush trees, flowing streams, and charming scenery.

Numerous stones were naturally piled up.

Each stone garden has its own unique scenery. Some stone gardens are shrouded in mist, like a water town in the south, while others have maple trees swaying, resembling red leaves frosting in the north.

Upon learning of the arrival of the Yuan Technique genius, the Ji family stone workshop was on high alert.

If it were anyone else who came, they would naturally welcome them; guests are always welcome.

However, Zhang Kun had just cut open the Nine-Aperture Stone Man and obtained the Holy Spirit Sword, and was at the height of his fame, unparalleled for a time!
No one can say for sure whether Zhang Kun is just highly skilled and daring, or simply a madman who got lucky!
The arrival of such a person would make any stone archway uneasy.

If they were to cut out some unparalleled treasure from the Ji family's top-tier stone garden, it would definitely cause them considerable financial pain.

The people of Ji Family Stone Workshop wanted to collect some priceless rare stones, but they didn't know which stone contained a divine object, making it difficult to choose.

Moreover, if we were to actually put them away, the people of the divine city would probably laugh at us.

After all, those priceless stones are too famous; if even one piece is missing, people will notice!
Zhang Kun kept walking, passing through eighteen layers, living up to everyone's expectations, and headed straight for the Tianzi Stone Garden!

This made the people of Ji Family Stone Workshop feel a sense of unease and pressure.

Those who followed him, however, did not feel that way. On the contrary, their enthusiasm was even higher, and they wanted to see if Zhang Kun could create another miracle and cut out something extraordinary!

Before long, Zhang Kun arrived at the deepest part of the stone archway.

There is a lake here, its waters as blue as crystal, brimming with vitality, and it is incredibly beautiful.

In the middle of the pale blue lake lies a small island, no more than a few hundred meters in circumference. Fallen petals adorn the trees, creating a shower of glistening, fragrant blossoms that ripple across the lake's surface.

The small island in the lake is the Ji family's top-tier stone garden, so beautiful it's like a divine land, almost like a dream.

On the island lived an old man with skin like a baby and hair as white as snow. He sat alone among the flowering trees, eyes closed and motionless, without any reaction.

Dragon Head Stone, 100,000 Jin of Origin!

Immortal Sound Stone, 80,000 catties of source!

The Eight Trigrams Stone, weighing 120,000 jin!
A stone of unparalleled beauty, containing 150,000 jin of raw material!
Immortal Pot Stone, 100,000 catties of source!

The White Tiger Ascension Stone, 120,000 catties of source material!
Master Youyuan introduced the various strange rocks on the island one by one, and each time he mentioned one, it would elicit a gasp of surprise.

It's way too expensive!
Cutting stones at Tianzi Stone Garden is a huge gamble!
"Young Marshal, please don't hesitate to lend a hand. I have already had people gather resources, and I will do my utmost to assist you!"

At this moment, Xia Yiming thoughtfully transmitted his voice.

He smiled broadly, believing he had come up with a brilliant idea...

Borrowing from the source of jade gambling!

If Zhang Kun loses his gamble, then it will be a matter of course for him to take out the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword to pay off his debt!
I'm a genius!

Zhang Kun glanced at Xia Yiming, then looked down at the little nun.

The little nun glared at him fiercely, then timidly hid behind her brother: "Brother, don't use me as a gamble!"

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Kun and Xia Yiming coughed twice at the same time, looking utterly exasperated.

Zhang Kun was very disappointed. He was someone who could become a Buddha by laying down his butcher's knife, yet the little nun viewed him this way.

He shook his head, turning back to look at the vast sea of ​​people behind him: the white-haired elders from various religious holy sites, the heirs of the Source Arts families, An Miaoyi, the Holy Maiden of Dao Yi, Yao Yuekong…

At that moment, he saw Ji Biyue, a ruthless woman who could kill her own sister.

Some of these people came to watch the excitement, while others were thinking about whether to gamble and win back the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword!
But some people were eager to try and steal it! Zhang Kun remained calm and walked straight towards a strange stone inside called 'Ascension to Immortality'.

This stone, named "Ascension to Immortality," is about one meter long. It has no particular shape and is very irregular, but it has many patterns on its surface, resembling feathers.

The Ascension Stone lies beneath a thousand-year-old tree. Many cultivators have seen it, but no one has dared to cut it open to this day. It is worth 120,000 catties of Origin.

Seeing this, many people were eager to try their luck and wondered if they should try to intercept the prize.

After all, Zhang Kun had just recently obtained the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword.

But after weighing the options for a long time, everyone still felt the risk was too great, and no one dared to step forward.

It's a bit of a pity about Zhang Kun.

In the original novel, Ye Fan used this "Ascension to Immortality" to trick Li Yishui, the Supreme Elder of the Illusionary Palace.

He stood before the unusual stone and declared, "I'll buy it!"

To everyone's surprise, a stone next to the Ascension Stone was moved out.

This stone is very ordinary, about the size of a millstone, and there's nothing special about it. It's dark blue all over and shaped like a stone block.

The Tianzihao Stone Garden is full of precious stones; this stone is worth 30,000 jin.

Although it is expensive, it is by no means the most prized possession in the park.

Zhang Kun gestured to Prince Fu Yuan of the Great Xia Dynasty, then looked at the crowd outside the garden and said:

"I'm about to cut the stone. Anyone interested in betting with me on the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword?"

"Same as always, if what I cut out is less valuable than the source you bet on, I'll lose the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword to you!"

In the original novel, the Ji family's Tianzi Stone Garden has a stone king, which leads Ye Fan and Tuoba Chang to go crazy cutting stones.

But they never found it!

Zhang Kun naturally couldn't find it either; he came here to cut open the stone containing the divine silkworm!
That's something even more valuable than the Divine Source!
"That's outrageous! They didn't even look at the stones before buying them!"

"What kind of source technique is this? Could he be a source master? Can he determine the authenticity of a stone with just a glance?"

"What a madman! He actually dared to bring out the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword for a bet!"

An uproar erupted!
Everyone was intimidated by Zhang Kun's imposing presence and wondered if he was the legendary Yuan Tianshi!
"We'll provide 100,000 jin of raw materials!"

Just then, someone stepped forward.

"They are from one of the four ancient families of Origin Arts!"

"They've gathered 100,000 jin of Origin, and they actually want to gamble to win the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword... This is truly a high-stakes gamble!"

"This is the patriarch of the Nangong family. His younger brother, Nangong Qi, was a master of Origin Arts ten years ago!"

The person who came was a kind-looking old man, and his identity was recognized.

The four ancient families of Origin Arts did not believe that there were such powerful Origin Arts in the world, able to determine the truth with just one glance!
Even the legendary Yuan Tianshi's 'clairvoyant eye' couldn't achieve something this powerful!

It can be said!
They dared to take the bet not out of hot-blooded enthusiasm, but because they were highly skilled and daring!
It's safe to say that we're almost certain to win back the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword, worth 300,000 jin!
The old man Nangong asked with a confident smile, "I still don't know your name, young friend. After all, in future family histories, I'll need to explain to future generations who we won the Holy Sword from."

Zhang Kun smiled warmly at this, saying, "My surname is Zhang..."

"Oh, young friend Zhang... Zhang... wait, your surname is Zhang?!"

The old man Nangong seemed to have been awakened to some terrifying memory, and his expression changed drastically in an instant!

In the distance, the old man of the Ji family, whose skin was like that of a baby and whose hair was as white as snow, suddenly opened his eyes!

Just then!
Zhang Kun gripped the black and gold dragon-patterned sword, and with a swift stroke, the blade fell—

The divine silkworm is born!
