Chapter Fifty-Six: Painting a Thousand Blows
Since knowing that the disaster of destroying the city was about to break out in Chongyang City, Rui Qing has cultivated more diligently, and in addition to alchemy every day, he is practicing exercises, kendo and formations, etc., constantly sharpening his actual combat ability.
At the beginning of this month, after Rui Qing went to the Treasure Pavilion to hand in the elixir, she received a total of 1,500 top-grade spirit stones, and just as she was about to leave, she heard the shopkeeper Xu of the Fifth Layer Spirit Pill Pavilion say:
"Rui Xiaoyou and walk slowly, I see that Xiaoyou, you refine a lot of pills every month, the quality of the pills you refine is high, and your alchemy ability is first-class among the Yuan Infant Stage cultivators. “
"The elixir you refine is very popular in our Treasure Pavilion, have you ever thought about refining some more elixirs every month?"
"Recently, a lot of low-level cultivators have come to our Chongyang City, and even the pills with our Spirit Pill Pavilion Yuan Infancy are selling very tightly, can you help refine double the pills every month?"
With the flooding, there will only be more and more low-level cultivators near Chongyang City, and the sales of the pills in the Treasure Pavilion will only become more and more sought-after.
Rui Qing had long expected this situation, pretending not to know, and shirked:
"Thank you Shopkeeper Xu for your kindness! It's just that Rui Qing has tried her best to refine the pill on weekdays, except for cultivation, the rest of the time is used for refining the pill!
Seeing that Rui Qing was unwilling to refine more pills, Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but say bitterly:
"In this way, if you can refine more than double the pill every month, and the price of the pill you provide will increase by two percent in the future, what do you think?"
Rui Qing saw that the shopkeeper Xu looked like "if you don't agree, you will lose a lot", and continued to shirk and said:
"I'm sorry, I really can't refine so many pills!"
Seeing that Rui Qing still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, Shopkeeper Xu said angrily:
"At most, it will rise to 30%, and it can't go any higher!"
Rui Qing looked at the shopkeeper and looked at him angrily, and said modestly:
"Since Shopkeeper Xu can afford Rui Qing, then I'll try my best!"
Hearing that Rui Qing finally agreed, Shopkeeper Xu sighed in his heart, he didn't expect this little girl who was approachable on the outside, but she was as shrewd as a little fox on the inside.
Shopkeeper Xu thought that Rui Qing would immediately agree to her request after hearing the price increase of the pill she refined, but she didn't expect her to put herself together. Such exquisite thoughts should not be underestimated!
If it weren't for the fact that the pills in the Yuan Infant Stage have been in short supply in recent months, it would be impossible for him to give Rui Qing so many spirit stones, Shopkeeper Xu smiled playfully:
"Okay, send the pill early at the beginning of next month, otherwise be careful to detain your spirit stone!"
After Rui Qing agreed to Shopkeeper Xu's request, she immediately left the Treasure Pavilion. I thought to myself:
"It seems that I still underestimated the severity of this flood, and now that the number of low-level monks in the outer city of Chongyang City has increased so much, it seems that I should implement some of the plans in advance!"
Rui Qing went to the gambling arena in the middle of the outer city alone, observed the many monks who were shouting excitedly around for a while, checked the layout of the gladiatorial arena and the rules of gladiatorial fighting, and calculated the fastest time he could participate in gladiatorial fighting.
Rui Qing sighed in her heart that this gambling arena will really earn spirit stones, the monks who participate in the gladiatorial fight need to hand over the spirit stones, the monks who watch the duel need to hand over the spirit stones, the people who participate in the bet need to hand over more spirit stones, and the people who win the duel bet also hand over the two percent of the spirit stones they won, it is really a sure deal!
Seeing so many monks in the audience, Rui Qing secretly thought that the monks were really warlike people who advocated strength, and private fights were not allowed in Chongyang City, and this gambling arena had almost become a dueling ground for all monks in the city to fairly resolve personal grievances!
The gambling arena is set up separately, each cultivation level corresponds to the gladiatorial arena, and the highest cultivation level of the gladiatorial arena in the outer city is the Great Perfection cultivation of the Transformation Period.
For example, Rui Qing can participate in the gladiatorial arena of the Yuan infancy, and auxiliary props with mass destruction such as talismans and thunder beads cannot be used in the gladiatorial arena.
Generally, the monks who participate in gladiatorial fights go to the gladiatorial arena corresponding to their own cultivation to participate in gladiatorial fights, of course, monks can also participate in gladiatorial fights across levels, and if the challenge is successful, the income of spirit stones will at least triple, of course, the vast majority of monks will not do this kind of suicidal behavior.
Since coming to the Xuangu World, Rui Qing has been under the protection of his master Rong Xi, and has never fought a life-and-death battle with anyone, and he currently does not know how the fighting ability of the monks at the same stage in the Xuangu period is.
Now the edifice is about to fall, and danger is coming. Rui Qing must familiarize himself with the fighting methods of the monks in this world as soon as possible, understand their combat strength, and strive to improve his actual combat experience and increase his ability to survive in this impending crisis.
Therefore, Rui Qing decided to come to the gladiatorial arena from time to time to watch other people's fighting methods, understand other people's fighting patterns, and improve his combat adaptability.
If the timing is right and she is fully prepared, Rui Qing also wants to go on stage to fight in person.
However, regardless of life and death in the gladiatorial arena, the monks who participated in the fighting had a great probability of falling, and Rui Qing did not dare to participate in the gladiatorial fight easily.
When she returned to the cave and saw Fufu still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, Rui Qing thought to herself that Xiao Fufu was still comfortable, he slept and ate every day, he was really a happy little guy!
After Rui Qing gently touched Fufu, she continued to start her own path of asceticism.
Another year has passed, under Rui Qing's cultivation of forgetting to sleep and eat, coupled with the help of various rare pills, Rui Qing has successfully promoted his cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant Stage, which can be said to be a rapid advancement.
Even the shopkeeper Xu of the Treasure Pavilion Spirit Pill Room solemnly warned Rui Qing:
"Although it's a good thing to be able to quickly improve your cultivation, if you push the seedlings too much, it will do more harm than good to your cultivation after all!"
After Rui Qing thanked her, she couldn't say that she was bitter in her heart, and her cultivation was indeed slightly boosted.
Now that it is no longer possible to upgrade his cultivation to the stage of transformation in a short period of time, coupled with his in-depth understanding of the gambling arena, Rui Qing decided that in addition to alchemy, he will spend most of his time polishing his cultivation and improving his fighting methods.
On this day, after handing over the elixir, Rui Qing, who had received 15,000 top-grade spirit stones, strolled to the gambling arena, pressed all the 15,000 top-grade spirit stones obtained from all the alchemy this month on himself, and then came to the fifth gladiatorial arena in the Yuan Infant stage.
Rui Qing's opponent this time, named Hua Qianxun, is also a cultivator of the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant Period, Rui Qing has been paying attention to him for a long time, and he has long wanted to compete with him!
This guy is a professional gladiator, and he is also a professional killer who kills decisively, and there are no less than a thousand monks who have died under him, and his body is full of murderous aura and smoky!
For more than a year, Rui Qing has seen many monks who want to challenge Hua Qianxun, but they have all died under his sword, and he has cultivated kendo to the third stage - the initial stage of sword heart, and he is obviously an opponent that should not be underestimated.
Rui Qing entered the No. 5 gladiatorial arena early, waiting for the belated painting Qianxun, Rui Qing quietly stayed in the gladiatorial arena to meditate and practice, making final preparations for the upcoming gladiatorial fight.
During the gladiatorial fight, the gambling arena does not allow the monks to replenish the aura on the spot, so the amount of aura stored in the dantian is also one of the key factors in the success or failure of the gladiatorial fight.
However, many people outside the gladiatorial arena ate melons, but because of Rui Qing's suicide of challenging Painting Qianxun, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the monks invested a large number of spirit stones, all of which pressed on Hua Qianxun.
Contrary to the fact that all the monks followed the trend and bet on painting Qianxun, under Rui Qing's name, except for the fifteen thousand top-grade spirit stones she bet on, no one pressed the spirit stones on her. In this way, the suppressed ratio under the names of Rui Qing and Hua Qianxun has been constantly stretched.
The monks who came to the audience outside the No. 5 Gladiatorial Arena were hotly discussed:
"Another one who sent him to death, he actually dared to challenge Hua Qianxun!"
"yes, yes, hasn't she heard of the name of painting Qianxun!"
"Painting Qianxun is our inner city of Chongyang City, the descendant of the super family - the painter, I heard that his grandfather Painting Qianfeng has broken through to Da Luo Jinxian!"
"After Hua Qianxun came to the gambling arena, there have been more than a thousand gladiatorial fights, and he has never been defeated!
"I've pressed a lot of spirit stones on painting Qianxun, and I'm sure I'll be able to earn enough money today!"
"Brother, do you think you are the only one who can think of this trick, you see that the number of people in our audience is getting bigger and bigger!"
“......”
Outside the gladiatorial arena, Rui Qing seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest and attracted countless little bees, and the buzzing of heated discussions was endless, and Rui Qing had no choice but to block her ears and continue to meditate quietly.
Soon, on the big screen outside the gladiatorial arena, Rui Qing and Hua Qianxun's spirit stone bet hung at the top of the list with a huge difference of 1 to 150,000, and the bet seemed to continue to widen.
Xu Zikun, the young dealer in the gambling arena, was attracted to the No. 5 Gladiatorial Arena to see which female cultivator who was looking for death and dared to challenge Hua Qianxun.
She challenged to draw Qianxun, and even dared to place 15,000 top-grade spirit stones for herself as a bet! This is to pull the rhythm of her own gambling arena to lose spirit stones!
With such a large gambling ratio, if this woman loses or dies, she will have to pay a huge amount of spirit stones!
Xu Zikun secretly hated in his heart: "This woman definitely has an enmity with me!"
The gladiatorial battle that can know the outcome in advance, of course, all the monks will not let go of the opportunity to earn spirit stones, and they all participate in the bets, as if they are afraid that the bets will stop if they are late!
Outside the gladiatorial arena, such an obvious gap in the gladiatorial battle, all the cultivators who bet on it cheered as if they had won the battle!
So when he came to the gambling arena in the outer city from the inner city, he found that the monks he met along the way were smiling at him.
When passing by the big screen outside the gambling arena, Hua Qianxun realized that the proportion of his gambling fights today was surprisingly high, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about the people who fought with him today!
