Jiang Hengyu took a sip of the wine and chuckled, "The desert we're in right now is located in the western corner of the Red Wasteland State, one of the eight hundred states. In the past, this was a sacred place for cultivation, with several ancient sects located there before they were eventually wiped out by a powerful individual."

"After eternity, this place has transformed into a boundless desert. Beneath the desert, corpses remain indestructible, ancient blood remains immortal, and numerous spirit crystals and Dao sources have been born."

He continued, "Later, a large sect came here to mine, but unfortunately, they unearthed an ancient corpse, and many people died. Eventually, the sect withdrew, and this place became a dead place, with few people coming here."

"Daoyuan?"

Ye Lingtian looked at Jiang Hengyu.

Jiang Hengyu was stunned for a second: "Brother Ye, don't you know the source?"

Ye Lingtian sighed and said, "The area I'm in is extremely remote. There are only spirit crystals, but no Dao source."

Jiang Hengyu showed a look of sudden realization. He whispered, "Among the Three Thousand Realms, there are indeed many desolate realms. Dao Source is a cultivation resource that is more advanced than Spirit Crystal. It was born from heaven and earth and has experienced eons. The power of the Great Dao is contained within it, and the power it contains is even more extraordinary."

When he said this, he took out a white crystal and handed it to Ye Lingtian: "Brother Ye, take a look."

"..."

Ye Lingtian took the crystal and sensed it. This crystal contained the power of the Great Dao and was far more extraordinary than the spirit crystal.

Jiang Hengyu smiled and said, "Spirit crystals are a common item in the Dao Realm. However, for cultivators at the semi-saint level and above, the effect of spirit crystals is not significant, so they need to use Dao Source for cultivation."

"Dao Source can be divided into four grades based on quality: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. The one in Brother Ye's hand is a low-grade Dao Source. One low-grade Dao Source can be exchanged for ten thousand spirit crystals. The higher the grade of Dao Source, the more extraordinary the Dao power it contains. In certain places, Dao Source can only be used for transactions."

"I see!"

A look of realization appeared in Ye Lingtian's eyes, and he returned the Daoyuan to Jiang Hengyu.

Seeing this, Jiang Hengyu smiled and said, "This Dao Source is for Brother Ye. It's not a valuable item. Just consider it a small gift."

"Then I won't be polite."

Ye Lingtian smiled indifferently and put away the source of Tao.

Jiang Hengyu said: "After leaving this desert, I will take Brother Ye to a place where gambling on stones is popular and there are many sources of Taoism. Brother Ye can come with me to have some fun there."

"Row!"

Ye Lingtian nodded.

------

Seven days later.

The chariot drove out of the desert, and the fiery lion pulled the chariot and rushed into the distance.

After crossing three hundred thousand miles.

A huge city appeared before our eyes.

In the city, many buildings are white jade in color and have a Western fantasy style. When the light shines down, colorful lights emerge, and many ancient runes flash and shine brightly.

Above the city, there are many sky islands floating, each with buildings, which are majestic and extraordinary.

The huge city looks like a fairy city from a whole perspective. There are many monks in the city, and you can see many monks flying swords.

Jiang Hengyu looked at the city ahead, a gleam in his eyes. He took a sip of wine, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Ye, the city ahead is called Yuancheng. It's an ancient city under the jurisdiction of Daochu Holy Land. There are many raw stones in it, which is very suitable for gambling on stones."

At this moment, he seemed to have become a gambler.

Ye Lingtian smiled faintly and said, "Since Brother Jiang is interested in this, I will accompany you to have a look!"

Jiang Hengyu smiled and said, "Don't worry! I still have a lot of Dao Source on me, and I will definitely be able to play with Brother Ye when the time comes."

As if thinking of something, he continued, "Brother Ye, Daochu Holy Land is not simple. The Daochu Saintess is a beauty in our Tianwu Domain. If you can win her favor, you will never have to worry about food and clothing in the future."

Ye Lingtian smiled dumbly: "I am a serious cultivator and I don't like women."

"Hahaha! When you meet the Daochu Saintess, you will definitely have some ideas."

Jiang Hengyu laughed out loud.

The chariot flew quickly into the city.

After entering Yuancheng.

Ye Lingtian and Jiang Hengyu got off the sedan chair. On the street, there were countless monks coming and going. There were many stalls and shops on the street, with many stones placed on them.

Jiang Hengyu put away the chariot and said to Ye Lingtian, "Brother Ye, there are many cultivators in Yuancheng, and many of them are pretending to be weak but actually trying to gain advantage. There are also some saints hidden among them. A few years ago, a great master of the Tianyan realm even came here. Maybe there is a great master of the Tianyan realm in this city now."

"..."

Ye Lingtian looked around and sensed the auras of several saints. Although they were hidden very deeply, they could not escape his detection.

This Yuan City is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

To be precise, this world is truly extraordinary, with powerful people everywhere, far beyond what Jiuzhou can compare to.

Jiang Hengyu put his hands behind his back and walked forward with Ye Lingtian. He smiled and said, "The things on the surrounding stalls are all ordinary goods and not worth paying too much attention. I will take Brother Ye to the Daochu Stone Shop in front. That is the stone shop set up by the Daochu Holy Land. The raw stones inside are truly extraordinary."

After ten thousand meters forward.

A huge stone archway appeared in front of the two people. The stone archway was majestic, with a faint fairy light emanating from it, and it was overflowing with precious energy, which was extremely mysterious.

This stone archway is more like a huge mountain villa with a special layout. There are four words on the plaque: Daochu Stone Archway.

"stop!"

When Ye Lingtian and Jiang Hengyu approached the stone archway gate, the guards at the gate immediately stopped them.

This guard is quite powerful, and has reached the initial stage of shackles.

In the realm of shackles, one can only serve as a guard here, which is enough to show the extraordinary nature of this world.

The guard glanced at the two of them and said indifferently, "To enter the Dao Chu Shi Fang, you must either show a special identity token or pay a thousand low-grade Dao Yuan."

Daochu Stone Workshop has an extraordinary status. The stones inside are all from special places and are very expensive. Naturally, they are not accessible to ordinary people.

"..."

Jiang Hengyu casually took out a bronze token with the word "Jiang" on it.

"Huh? This is..."

When the guard saw the token, his pupils shrank. He saluted and said, "You are the important person of the Jiang family. Please come in!"

In the Tianwu domain, there is only one Jiang family, the ancient Jiang family, a large family ruled by a saint, and one of the seven great families of Tianwu.

The Jiang family may be in decline today and not as strong as the other major families, but a lean camel is still bigger than a horse and should not be underestimated.

As a small guard, he didn't dare to offend anyone from the Jiang family.

"Have some eyesight!"

Jiang Hengyu put away the token and swaggered in with Ye Lingtian.

The guard looked at Jiang Hengyu's back and said to himself, "I heard that the Jiang family has a useless young man named Jiang Hengyu who likes to wander around. He is proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, and he especially likes gambling on stones. Could this be him?"
