"Apart from guarding here these two days, I went out to observe the situation. Now many people have appeared in the Yuehua Continent. They should be here for the Golden Rolls. Fortunately, we came early and can stay in an inn. Many people outside no longer have a place to stay. They all live in the forest in the suburbs," Li Mu said.

Other than that…

There was more important news. Li Mu was also the most worried about this matter, so he said, "And many of them are people with extremely high cultivation. I'm afraid our trip will be a little stressful."

"…."

"In addition, we need to go out and gather more Spirit Stones. Our current supply won't be sufficient to sustain our stay at the inn. If we can't replenish them, we might have to give up our lodging," Li Mu informed her.

He faithfully reported the recent situation but refrained from inquiring about Gu Chaoyan's cultivation. He understood that his role was to support and assist her, not interfere with her personal cultivation matters.

Gu Chaoyan acknowledged his words with a nod, having already gained a general understanding of the situation in the Yuehua Continent. It unfolded as she had anticipated.

Coincidentally, she required Spirit Stones for her ongoing cultivation, making it a suitable time to acquire them. With this in mind, she closed the door and declared, "Let's proceed and obtain some Spirit Stones."

Li Mu nodded, faithfully following her lead.

Having gained a general understanding of the surroundings upon reaching the inn, Gu Chaoyan decided to explore a nearby stone gambling den to see if they could find the Spirit Stones they needed.

Apart from the Xuantian Sect, numerous other sects were in close proximity, indicating that the nearby stone gambling den should offer a decent selection.

As she emerged from the inn, Gu Chaoyan sensed an increasing influx of people. Spiritual energy permeated the air, accompanied by the aura of advanced cultivators. It was evident that the allure of the Golden Rolls had attracted a multitude of individuals.

However, these circumstances were as anticipated, and Gu Chaoyan didn't linger due to the crowd.

She made a beeline for the casino.

Upon arrival, Gu Chaoyan observed that the establishment was teeming with people. The casino was spacious yet unpretentious. On the first floor, numerous unremarkable stones were stacked, available for opening at the cost of five ordinary Spirit Stones. It was uncertain whether these stones would yield higher-quality blue Spirit Stones or simply prove to be ordinary stones with no significant value.

Most of the patrons present had limited Spirit Stones and were trying their luck. If they managed to exchange five ordinary Spirit Stones for a blue Spirit Stone, it would be a lucrative outcome.

As for the stones on the upper floor, they were progressively categorized into different levels.

However, accessing those upper-level stones required a more substantial number of Spirit Stones to open. Consequently, fewer individuals were able to ascend to that floor.

Gu Chaoyan gazed at the stones, initially assuming they were ordinary. Yet, upon utilizing her consciousness to examine them, she discovered an ability to sense their spiritual energy.

What?

This was something she could not do previously. She pondered why this capability had suddenly manifested within her.

Why was it possible now?

Could it be…
