Everyone found it hard to believe. Could it be an Origin Tool? Everyone present knew that there had never been an Origin Tool in the entire Yongning Continent. Currently, there were only fifteen divine artifacts in the whole Yongning Continent.
How could this be an Origin Tool? Is that brat Guan Yue really going against the heavens? Two Celestial Stones actually produced two extraordinary treasures. One divine beast and one Origin Tool!
Many people on-site began to send messages out. In no time, news of the Origin Tool being unearthed in the Southern Source Empire's capital spread quickly to various countries across the Yongning Continent.
Xiang Wei was also exceptionally excited; she was fortunate enough to witness the moment when an Origin Tool was cut from the stones! Moreover, it was from a stone chosen by her acquaintance, the Fortune Teller. Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at Guan Yue inside the energy shield, her face radiating joy and curiosity, revealing her true nature at that moment.
Jiang Gong, seeing that an Origin Tool had emerged, immediately thought he must get his hands on it. Having witnessed it with his own eyes meant he should enjoy it. Heaven truly has eyes! At a time when he needed power most, with the possibility of going to war abroad, two such treasures have appeared to assist him; my Destiny is indeed remarkable.
This is the celestial phenomenon of the True Destiny Son!
At this moment, Guan Yue was most attentive to Jiang Gong's gaze; he did not want to become enemies with the prince. However, Jiang Gong's eyes were filled with ecstatic excitement, indicating that he was determined to obtain this Origin Tool, leaving little chance for negotiation.
But when Guan Yue turned and saw Xiang Wei, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He then removed the energy shield he had set up and walked out holding the Golden Sword. Everyone surged forward, eager to see this treasure. Guan Yue addressed the elder hovering in mid-air: "Elder, I did not expect it to be an Origin Tool, and now an Artifact Infant has appeared as well. Thank you, Three Elders, for protecting me."
Guan Yue knew this matter could not be hidden any longer; it was better to speak directly about it to negotiate a good price.
The elder who had spoken replied: "Young benefactor, being able to identify two extraordinary treasures indicates you are a person of great fortune. You have already recognized the Artifact Infant of the Origin Tool, right? Please do not forget the opportunity brought to you today by Pine Stone Pavilion."
Guan Yue immediately responded: "I will remember your teachings, Elder. I will repay today's kindness in due time." Saying this, Guan Yue clasped his fists in respect once again towards the three elders in mid-air.
"It is good that you can remember; I hope you can use your vast fortune to serve our Southern Source Empire and its millions of people faithfully," the old monk said again to Guan Yue.
Guan Yue bowed again and said: "Master's teachings are something I dare not forget." He understood that the old monk was intentionally pointing out his Disciple status, so he correspondingly referred to him as Master.
This exchange made Jiang Gong very displeased. Speaking of someone else's fortune right in front of him was nothing short of mocking his lack of luck! However, he did not dare offend the Eternal Realm Experts from Pine Stone Pavilion easily and naturally directed his resentment towards Guan Yue instead. He signaled one of his Disciples to approach Guan Yue with demands, testing whether this brat would be sensible; if he did not recognize courtesy, then Jiang Gong would not hold back his ruthlessness. Moreover, allowing this brat to take away an Artifact Infant from an Origin Tool was a significant offense despite being forced by circumstances.
At this moment, Tai Shi Chang He felt utterly chaotic inside. On one hand, he watched as Guan Yue unearthed an Origin Tool with an Artifact Infant; on the other hand, Jiang Gong held onto his divine beast. His previous actions had clearly offended Guan Yue—three matters all vexed him at once. He truly felt that perhaps he should not have come to Gambling on Stones at all. With Guan Yue causing such a stir that shook the entire royal city while leaving him with nothing but empty joy made him feel nothing but regret in his mind.
Xiang Wei saw Guan Yue walking towards her and happily greeted her. She wanted to see what kind of power the Origin Tool possessed. Guan Yue handed her the Artifact Gold Sword and cautioned, "Be careful."
Eagerly, Xiang Wei immediately infused the Origin Tool with Origin Energy. As a Disciple of the Miraculous Realm, her Origin Energy was immense. With just a slight effort, there was a loud clang, and the Origin Tool surged with red energy, exuding an overwhelming presence. A tremendous pressure instantly spread outwards, immobilizing Jiang Gong and others, leaving even Xiang Wei herself unable to move under this powerful force.
Greed shone in Jiang Gong's eyes: Such a precious treasure, I must have it!
The three elders immediately spoke up, "Princess, be very careful. This is an Origin Tool; we fear unforeseen accidents. If you wish to test it, you must do so outside the wilderness."
Xiang Wei was also intimidated by the power of the Origin Tool. She quickly returned the Artifact Gold Sword to Guan Yue, who softly said to her, "This is only without the Artifact Infant. If combined with the Artifact Infant, it would be truly terrifying."
Upon hearing Guan Yue's words, Xiang Wei realized that Guan Yue had ulterior motives and quietly asked, "Could it be that the Fortune Teller wants to—?"
Guan Yue gently nodded and replied, "If you don't let me suffer losses, I will surely repay you in kind."
Xiang Wei smiled and nodded; they exchanged a knowing look, signaling their agreement to cooperate.
Under Jiang Gong's pressure, Tai Shi Chang He agreed to hand over the divine beast to Prince Jiang Gong. Jiang Ming felt secretly disappointed. No matter what, he hoped that this divine beast would not fall into Jiang Gong's hands. Now that Tai Shi Xiao Sa had actually agreed to give it to Jiang Gong, it truly pained Jiang Ming's heart. As a brother, he understood Jiang Gong all too well; he was a sinister person who would devour others without leaving any bones behind.
Jiang Gong laughed heartily, "Tai Shi brother has great foresight and understands the bigger picture. Don't worry; this prince will never let you suffer losses. Come see me tomorrow; I will make sure you are satisfied. Very good, very good." The prince's joy contrasted sharply with Tai Shi Chang He's helpless expression.
Guan Yue observed this and thought to herself that such arrogance from the prince would likely make him unfit for great responsibilities. It would be better to keep interactions minimal in the future. At that moment, she noticed a man standing beside Jiang Gong who bore a subtle aura of dark magic. Guan Yue couldn't help but feel alarmed. Practitioners of dark magic had always faced ruthless exclusion and suppression on Yongning Continent because cultivating dark magic required human blood and Disciple's Origin Energy to accelerate their training speed. Therefore, once discovered, Human Cultivators would swiftly eliminate them.
At this time, one of the prince's attendants approached Guan Yue and said, "Young Master, Tai Shi Gongzi has already offered the divine beast to the Crown Prince; shouldn't you do the same?" His tone carried an obvious threat.
Guan Yue felt a surge of anger but maintained her composure as she replied calmly, "I have already entrusted Miss Xiang to handle the auction of this sword for me. Once said, it cannot be retracted."
Xiang Wei laughed heartily: "Guan Young Master has entrusted this Origin Tool to me for auction; if Jiang Gong likes this sword, he can also come bid for it. Our Vast Empire will send people to bid as well; everyone is welcome to come! This is an Origin Tool with astonishing power."
Listening to Guan Yue and Xiang Wei, Jiang Ming felt very happy, while Jiang Gong's expression was extremely gloomy. He glared at Xiang Wei and Guan Yue, then angrily left while holding the Divine Beast. Nangong Kangliang, Wei Qinglun, and others followed the prince.
Xiang Wei stayed behind, insisting that Guan Yue help her choose two pieces of Celestial Stone, as she urgently needed money.
Guan Yue had a strange expression and said, "Miss Xiang, you don't want me to be unable to enter Pine Stone Pavilion for the rest of the year, do you? If I take all the good Celestial Stones here, they will turn against me."
At that moment, Ouyang Xinyi, the boss of the largest auction house in Southern Source Kingdom, Heavenly Intent Auction House, hurried over and bowed to Guan Yue and Xiang Wei. "Esteemed guests, I am Ouyang Xinyi from Heavenly Intent Auction House. May I ask if you would be willing to entrust us with your Origin Tool for auction? From now on, you will both be our esteemed guests at Heavenly Intent Auction House, and everything you purchase will have a discount of 15%."
Xiang Wei had long heard of Heavenly Intent Auction House. Not only did they have business in Southern Source Empire, but they also operated in Vast Empire. It was a large multinational conglomerate, so entrusting them with an auction was reassuring. Xiang Wei valued the 15% discount even more because as a princess, she usually received a maximum discount of only 5%. Since she would frequently participate in auctions, the total amount saved would be quite significant.
When Guan Yue saw Ouyang Xinyi, he noticed that he was a mature man in his forties and a Disciple who subtly exuded an air of authority but was very humble at that moment. This made Guan Yue feel respect for him. It was not easy for the boss of such a large multinational auction house to be so hands-on. It was evident that he was a foreigner and not a local from Southern Source Kingdom.
They quickly arrived at Heavenly Intent Auction House. Many people followed from Pine Stone Pavilion to see what plans Guan Yue had next. However, more people rushed toward Pine Stone Pavilion as they began frantically Gambling on Stones, hoping to uncover a rare treasure.
After completing the auction arrangements, Guan Yue asked, "Senior Ouyang, could I possibly get an advance on some funds? I'm currently quite short on money and urgently need it."
Ouyang Xinyi seemed to understand Guan Yue's intentions and smiled slightly. "Young Master Guan wants to gamble on stones too. We can fully accommodate your funding needs; your Origin Tool is in our hands, so there's no worry about you running off. Just tell me how much you need."
"Ten million taels of gold," Guan Yue said casually, fearing he might ask for too much. To his surprise, Ouyang Jiuxin laughed heartily and said, "How about I lend you fifty million? Since you're going to gamble on stones, I'll take you to a place called Southern Immortal Palace that has just opened recently. The Celestial Stones there are excellent, and no one knows that gambling is happening there; it's mostly Senior Cultivators who are betting there. There won't be any princes around."
Guan Yue felt overjoyed: "That sounds great; let's go."
