The Gambling Stone Arena was not only open to distinguished guests who visited, but also served as an important source of income for the
Some had abandoned their path of martial cultivation for it. Others had gambled away their entire fortunes. From this alone, one could see that the allure of stone gambling was anything but ordinary.
Although the Gambling Stone Arena had a dedicated entrance for gamblers, it was still located within the Ghost Sect Hall. So the distance wasn't far at all, and the three of them soon arrived at the so-called Gambling Stone Arena.
And
These Black Crystal Stones were entirely black — so black that when light shone upon them, they actually reflected it back. Chu Feng tried using his barrier techniques to observe them, but he truly could not see through them.
It seemed
However, when Chu Feng observed them with his Heavenly Eyes, he noticed something different.
Although the Heavenly Eyes still couldn't see through the Black Crystal Stones, their function went far beyond simple penetration and sight.
What was the primary purpose of the Heavenly Eyes? To observe details invisible to ordinary people, to decipher formations, to explore burial grounds, and to see through the human heart.
And these Black Crystal Stones, no matter how extraordinary they might be, were ultimately still mundane objects. Under the gaze of the Heavenly Eyes, Chu Feng was able to pick up on certain subtleties.
That said, Chu Feng couldn't be sure whether his observations were correct. He would need to study the matter further. Whether it would work or not could only be determined through trial.
"Chu Feng, there are too many people here. Let's go to the second floor," Xia Yun'er said.
The so-called Gambling Stone Arena was actually a magnificent palace, divided into three floors.
The Black Crystal Stones sold on the first floor were all small, loose pieces. The largest ones were about the size of a watermelon, while the smallest were no bigger than a potato. As such, the prices were relatively low.
The first floor had the most people — it was practically a sea of humanity, a gathering place for gamblers.
Xia Yun'er didn't want to linger here. Part of the reason was likely that these Black Crystal Stones were too small to be of interest to her. The other reason was probably that there were too many eyes watching, and since both she and Chu Feng were now famous figures across the Greater Plane of Starfall, they naturally didn't want to be gawked at like monkeys on display.
"Look! Isn't that Chu Feng? The peerless genius who defeated
"Wow! Who's that beautiful woman beside Chu Feng? She's absolutely enchanting — how can anyone in this world be that gorgeous? She's not even human, she's a fairy!"
"That's... that's... that's the Holy Daughter of the Starfall Sacred Ground, one of the three great beauties of our Greater Plane of Starfall — Xia Yun'er!"
"What?! Xia Yun'er?! The Holy Daughter of the Starfall Sacred Ground?! My heavens, I'm actually lucky enough to see the Holy Daughter of the Starfall Sacred Ground?! I can die without regrets, I can die without regrets!"
However, Xia Yun'er's words had come too late. The moment they had entered the Gambling Stone Arena, they had already been recognized.
In an instant, every pair of eyes turned toward them, and the gamblers abandoned even their beloved stone gambling.
A wave rippled through the crowd as tens of thousands of people began converging in the direction of Chu Feng and Xia Yun'er.
"Ahem..."
But just then, Elder
Though the cough was faint, every person present could hear it clearly.
"Elder Xing Yi? That's Elder Xing Yi, the foremost of the Eight Immortals!" someone with sharp eyes recognized the elder.
