Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 931: Chapter 489: Sun City (2)

"No, I must find those Goblin Source Stones!"

Gu Sheng said determinedly.

Master Zhang sighed slightly, "To find the stolen Goblin Source Stones, it might not be an easy task unless..."

"Unless what?"

Gu Sheng asked eagerly.

"Unless you can comprehend the essential contents of the Seeking Origin Heavenly Book."

Master Zhang replied, "The book describes various Secret Techniques about Source Ore, among which is a method to sense the location of Source Stones with extremely high energy."

Gu Sheng furrowed his brow, feeling this might be the only way.

After a night of tossing and turning, Gu Sheng noticed Master Zhang was also tired, as age had taken away the youthful vigor.

After Master Zhang rested, Gu Sheng directly harnessed his Divine Power and flew above Stone Village.

He released his Divine Sense, attempting to locate the Goblin Source Stones.

But after sensing several times, there was still no result.

Gradually, the eastern sky began to pale.

Gu Sheng went back to rest briefly, and daylight soon broke.

The Goblin Source Stones were lost, and now the priority was to comprehend the Seeking Origin Heavenly Book to quickly find the missing Source Stones.

Thus, Gu Sheng started earnestly studying the contents of the Heavenly Book.

If there were unknown issues, he would consult with Master Zhang.

Although Master Zhang hadn’t read the Heavenly Book, his practical experience was quite extensive and helped Gu Sheng significantly.

Thus, Gu Sheng studied every day from morning till midnight.

With this study regimen, it lasted for over a month.

Gu Sheng’s comprehension was extremely high, coupled with Master Zhang’s assistance, allowing some minor issues in the Heavenly Book to be solved directly.

However, the Seeking Origin Heavenly Book is divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower.

Gu Sheng furrowed his brow, though he had some understanding of the upper volume, the middle and lower volumes’ contents were like mist, making it difficult for him to discern their true meaning.

The remaining two volumes contain even deeper powers, but time is tight; it’s imperative to quickly locate the Goblin Source Stones.

"Xiao Sheng, you’ve already done very well."

Master Zhang said, consoling Gu Sheng’s tired visage.

"This Heavenly Book is truly a Heavenly Book, it’s so hard to understand."

Gu Sheng responded with a bitter smile.

"No worries, the content of the upper volume is enough for you to attempt finding the general location of the Goblin Source Stones."

Master Zhang reminded.

"Mm!"

Gu Sheng nodded.

Then, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began mobilizing the Divine Power within himself.

Instantly, his consciousness gradually spread, attempting to resonate with the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth.

And this is the source-seeking method recorded in the upper volume of the Seeking Origin Heavenly Book.

With Gu Sheng’s Divine Power fluctuations, he felt a faint resonance.

That was the unique aura of the Goblin Source Stone.

Gu Sheng followed this aura and slowly sensed the general direction of the Goblin Source Stones.

"I felt it!"

Gu Sheng opened his eyes, filled with delight.

"Where is it?"

Master Zhang was also brimming with excitement.

"It’s five hundred miles to the southeast of Stone Village!"

Gu Sheng looked towards the southeast and said.

"Ah?"

Master Zhang was stunned.

That direction is exactly Sun City, a medium-sized city renowned for gambling stones.

"Sun City?"

Master Zhang muttered to himself, furrowing his brow, "That’s a mixed place, if the Goblin Source Stones fall into the hands of unscrupulous people, it might spark trouble."

"Seems like it’s genuinely been taken by the gambling stone traders!"

Gu Sheng nodded, then said, "I must go there personally; I believe that once I arrive, I can locate the Goblin Source Stones more accurately."

Master Zhang looked at Gu Sheng’s determined eyes, knowing he had made his decision.

"Alright, Xiao Sheng, be careful. Sun City is not like our Stone Village, the powers there are intricate; you must be cautious."

Master Zhang reminded.

Gu Sheng nodded, "Rest assured; once I am there, I’ll know what to do."

Right then, Er Gou and Shi Lou entered from outside.

"Brother Sheng, are you leaving?"

Er Gou asked with a face full of reluctance.

"Yes, I’m going to Sun City to find the Goblin Source Stones."

Gu Sheng nodded and said.

"Ah?"

Er Gou showed a worried expression, "Sun City is too far from us, and the customs there are very different from here. I want to go with you, so we can look out for each other."

"That’s right, I want to go too!"

Shi Lou nodded, agreeing with Er Gou’s words.

At this point, their eyes were firm, obviously having made up their minds.

"Alright, you can go together; look out for each other. Gu Sheng, although you’re strong, the waters in Sun City are deep. With the two of them by your side, I’m more at ease."

Master Zhang nodded and said from the side.

Gu Sheng looked at Master Zhang, feeling warmth rise in his heart.

He knew, although Master Zhang appeared stern, he had always cared for them deeply.

Moreover, he truly didn’t know much about the customs there.

Having them alongside would indeed be helpful.

"Thank you, Master Wu."

Gu Sheng said gratefully.

Thus, the three prepared briefly and then set on their journey to Sun City together.

Five days later, the three finally saw Sun City’s tall city walls.

Sun City has a large population, about 300,000, forming a stark contrast with the desolate Stone Village.

Gu Sheng watched the bustling crowd, feeling a bit excited.

Since arriving in the Northern Territory, he hadn’t seen so many people.

Moreover, this place differs from their familiar Stone Village, so bustling that it involuntarily brings happiness.

"Stop!"

The three were about to enter the city but were stopped by the guards.

The cold voice made Gu Sheng freeze.

Following, Gu Sheng was about to ask why, but Shi Lou stepped forward first.

He took out a few ordinary Source Stones from his pocket and handed them to the guard.

"Here’s our entry fee."

Shi Lou said with a slight smile.

The guard accepted the Source Stones, showing a satisfied smile, "That’s more like it."

Gu Sheng glanced confusingly at those guards.

Er Gou saw this and explained to him, "Brother Sheng, in Sun City, Source Stone is the most precious; to enter the city, you must give some benefits, such as Source Ore."

"I see."

Gu Sheng nodded, deepening his understanding of Sun City’s rules.

Here, Source Stone is an energy source and a symbol of power and wealth.

After entering the city, Gu Sheng immediately felt Sun City’s prosperity.

Shops lined both sides of the streets, various hustlings and bustling sounds rose and fell, and the place was vivid with humanity.

They passed through several bustling streets and arrived at an inn called "Source Stone Inn."

"Let’s settle down here."

Gu Sheng suggested.

Er Gou and Shi Lou consented.

To find the Goblin Source Stones in Sun City, settling down and slowly gathering information is necessary.

Once settled at "Source Stone Inn," Gu Sheng began his search plan.

He knew the Goblin Source Stones couldn’t appear in Sun City without reason; someone must know their whereabouts.

He decided to start at the gambling stone market, the convergence point of various Exotic Treasures and also the place with the most informed sources.

Early the next day, Gu Sheng took Er Gou and Shi Lou to the gambling stone market.

The market was bustling, with source stone stalls everywhere.

Gu Sheng’s sharp gaze observed the source stones and the people around, hoping to find clues about the Goblin Source Stones.

However, they spent a whole day in the market without even a shadow of the Goblin Source Stones.

Fortunately, they collected a lot of useful information.

They heard that recently, a mysterious Source Stone appeared in the northern part of Sun City, rumored to contain powerful energy.

Gu Sheng felt that this might be the Goblin Source Stone he was looking for.

He decided to search for this so-called mysterious Source Stone in the north of the city early the next day.

After returning to "Source Stone Inn," the three discussed their plan for tomorrow briefly, hoping to strike with precision!
