Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 933: Chapter 490: Two Sides of the Street (Part 2)

Just at that moment, the waiter saw Gu Sheng and his group.

"My dear sirs, why can’t you just listen and not wander around so freely?"

The waiter said with a helpless face.

Gu Sheng smiled, "It’s fine, aren’t we all in one piece?"

Finishing his words, Gu Sheng pointed at the bustling scene over there, "What’s going on over there? So many people?"

"That’s a gambling den. It’s also a marketplace for source ore."

The waiter turned his head and answered directly.

"One street, two different scenes, what’s up with that?"

Gu Sheng asked curiously.

"That side belongs to the Qingxia Sect, while this side is different, it’s primarily Shaking Light Sacred Land territory, which is why the street is like this."

The waiter replied.

"I see."

Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

"Hey? If that’s the case, can’t we go over there and have some fun?"

Er Gou said as he tried to drag Gu Sheng and Shi Lou toward that direction.

"Hey? Masters! Please come back soon, and don’t go over there."

The waiter called out loudly.

"Got it!"

Er Gou responded without turning his head.

Soon, Gu Sheng and his companions stood at the entrance of the gambling den.

They saw people coming and going, each with either an excited or disappointed expression on their faces.

Clearly, this was a place filled with opportunities and risks.

The facade of the gambling den was lavishly decorated, with two massive lanterns hanging at the entrance.

If it were night, they would surely light up the entire facade.

"Are we really going in?"

Shi Lou hesitated and asked.

As a homegrown, honest mountain villager, he was reluctant to enter such a so-called high-end place.

"What are you afraid of? It’s just a gambling den, maybe we’ll hit a good stone."

Er Gou said with indifference.

Er Gou had a carefree personality, contrasting with Shi Lou’s earnest nature.

In his eyes, there was a glitter of longing for the unknown and wealth.

Gu Sheng didn’t speak, his gaze rested on the sign of the gambling den for a moment, then he nodded resolutely.

"Let’s go! Let’s take a look inside!"

After speaking, the three of them were about to step inside, but a few burly guards blocked their way.

"You guys, stop right there!"

The lead guard looked Gu Sheng and his companions up and down, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Dressed so shabbily, can you afford to be here?"

Gu Sheng frowned, disliking the feeling of being looked down upon.

"We’re just here to take a look, is that not allowed?"

Er Gou stepped forward and said.

"Take a look? Can you afford to buy source ore?"

The lead guard sneered, "Don’t waste our time, just leave!"

At this moment, a luxuriously dressed young man walked over, surrounded by several attendants.

The guards immediately changed their demeanor, smiling obsequiously as they greeted him.

"Young Master, you’ve arrived, please come in, please."

The lead guard nodded and bowed.

The young man nodded slightly, not even glancing at Gu Sheng and the others, and went straight into the gambling den.

Gu Sheng watched the young man’s back, a nameless anger rising in his heart.

"Who is that?"

Gu Sheng asked the lead guard.

The lead guard gave Gu Sheng a disdainful look, "Hmph, don’t you even recognize the eldest son of our Qingxia Sect, truly ignorant."

"Exactly! He’s our cash cow, you poor wretches shouldn’t be getting in the way."

A lackey chimed in.

Gu Sheng’s face darkened, he was about to use his divine power to teach the guards a lesson but suppressed his anger.

Earlier at the inn, he sensed through divine sense that the Goblin Source Stone wasn’t here.

They were here for leisure purposes anyway.

Using divine power over such a trivial issue would not be worth it if discovered by the Qingxia Sect.

"Let’s go."

Gu Sheng said coldly.

He then turned and left with Er Gou and Shi Lou.

"Brother Sheng, are we just going to let this slide?"

Er Gou asked unwillingly.

"Of course not."

Gu Sheng smiled and said, "It’s just not the right time yet."

Shi Lou nodded, "Right, we can’t be impulsive, the Qingxia Sect’s power is formidable. We need a long-term plan."

The three left the gambling den, but they didn’t go far and stopped by a nearby river.

"Brother Sheng, what exactly are you planning?"

Er Gou asked, looking disgruntled.

Gu Sheng gazed at the bridgehead not far away.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He quietly stirred divine power.

After some probing, Gu Sheng’s eyes gleamed as he walked to a massive stone by the bridge.

"Brother Sheng, what are you doing? Why are you staring at that stone?"

Shi Lou asked, perplexed.

"This stone contains a refined ore, and it’s an Ancient top-quality Insect Origin Stone."

Gu Sheng said with a calm voice.

Shi Lou and Er Gou were stunned, exchanging glances full of surprise.

"Brother Sheng, how do you know?"

Er Gou couldn’t help asking.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "The heart method in the ’Seeking Origin Heavenly Book’ allows me to sense the secrets within this stone."

A look of awe flashed in Shi Lou and Er Gou’s eyes. They knew the legend of the ’Seeking Origin Heavenly Book’, a treasure coveted by Source Seeking Masters, and were amazed that Gu Sheng could master its heart method.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s break the stone open and find the top-quality Insect Origin Stone inside!"

Er Gou said excitedly.

Gu Sheng shook his head, "Don’t rush, let’s return to the gambling den first."

"Back to the gambling den? Brother Sheng, what are you planning?"

Shi Lou looked puzzled.

"We’re going to show that Qingxia Sect young master something good."

Gu Sheng said with a cunning glint in his eye.

"This..."

Er Gou didn’t quite understand, but he still agreed with Gu Sheng’s plan.

Then, the three returned to the gambling den.

Seeing them, the guards immediately rushed out.

"What’s with you three? We just threw you out, and now you’re back?"

The lead guard scolded coldly.

Gu Sheng’s anger flared at the word "threw".

"Mind your language!"

And then, Gu Sheng charged forward.

Even without using divine power, with just fists and feet, he had the guards sprawling on the ground, looking for their teeth.

"What do you think you’re doing?"

The lead guard asked, looking aggrieved.

"You were disrespectful first. Now, go! Call your master, I have something precious to show him."

Gu Sheng shot him a cold glance.

"Something precious? But you can’t just beat us up for that!"

The lead guard looked even more aggrieved.

At this moment, Qing Xia Sect’s eldest son, Qing Shan, heard the commotion outside and also rushed out.

Seeing Gu Sheng and his group, he sneered.

"You poor wretches dare to cause trouble here? Should I kill you?"

Gu Sheng looked indifferent, "I have something precious, why can’t I enter the gambling den?"

Qing Shan’s eyes turned greedy upon seeing the Insect Origin Stone.

"Something precious? Let me see it!"

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "You want to see? Fine, but you must agree to one condition."

Qing Shan’s eyes flashed with anger, but eager to see the so-called treasure, he asked, "What condition?"

Gu Sheng pointed at the entrance of the gambling den, "I want your gambling den’s best source ore, and I want protection from the Qingxia Sect."

Qing Shan’s face changed, he didn’t expect Gu Sheng to make such demands.

But he knew the value of the Insect Origin Stone was immeasurable, acquiring it would be a boon for the Qingxia Sect.

"Fine, I agree."

Qing Shan gritted his teeth and accepted Gu Sheng’s terms.

"Alright, follow me."

Gu Sheng said, leading Qing Shan toward the massive stone.

At this time, the gamblers in the den, hearing about something precious, became more excited.

So they rushed out of the gambling den to see for themselves.
