Volume 1, Born Lonely and Cold Chapter 33, Betting
In front of Shen Cong's cave mansion, when Xu Bing came, he saw that Shen Cong was still familiar. It took a lot of effort to wake him up from his sleep.
Shen Cong looked at Xu Bing in front of him, and said with some dissatisfaction, "I said, junior brother, can you let me sleep more, why did you wake me up early in the morning?"
Seeing this, Xu Bing hurriedly helped Shen Cong and said to him, "Senior brother, I came here to ask you for a favor this time."
When Shen Cong heard this, he frowned and said, "Forget it, I want to talk to you to find someone else, I don't want to bother anymore if you can't eat and drink enough on this mountain."
When Xu Bing heard Shen Cong's words, he realized that he had misunderstood what he meant, and said, "Senior brother misunderstood, this time it's not a discussion." After seeing Shen Cong's questioning gaze, Xu Bing said again, "It's such a senior brother, I am now practicing slowly because of the lack of spirit stones, I just hope to cooperate with my senior brother and find a way to earn some spirit stones."
Shen Cong glanced at Xu Bing and asked with some uncertainty, "Just earn some spirit stones"?
Seeing Xu Bing nodding, he thought for a moment, suddenly made a look of indifference, lay down and said lightly, "Alas, junior brother, you practice hard and lack spirit stones, but what I lack is not spirit stones, senior brother." As he spoke, he also glanced at Xu Bing secretly, and when he saw that the other party was still looking at him, he hurriedly turned his head to the side and continued to look indifferent.
Seeing this, Xu Bing said again, "Senior brother, this spirit stone is a good thing. In the cultivation realm, the spirit stone is equivalent to mortal money, which can not only be used for cultivation, but also can be exchanged for items with others. A few days ago, I also saw someone selling food in the Lei Xian Market, and the aroma of the food could be smelled from afar, and even Chef Wang, who was full of incense, couldn't compare with it."
Xu Bing's words made Shen Cong, who was already lying down, jump up directly, he looked at Xu Bing and asked seriously, "What are you saying true?
Xu Bing saw Shen Cong's performance like this, and nodded again and again. The Xiangmanlou in their mouth is a restaurant in Fancheng, and Chef Wang is the chef with the best skills in Xiangmanlou. Ordinary people can't afford to eat in Xiangmanlou at all, and if they have a little money, if they don't have enough status, even if they go to Xiangmanlou, they won't be able to taste Chef Wang's craftsmanship.
However, like Xu Bing and Shen Cong are exceptions, after all, Xu Bing's father Xu Tianrong can be on an equal footing with the city lord, needless to say, although Shen Cong's status is not as good as Xu Bing, he can also be regarded as a prestigious gateway in Fancheng, plus Shen Cong already loves food and beautiful women, so he naturally went to Xiangmanlou a lot when he was in Fancheng.
After Shen Cong got Xu Bing's confirmation, he had already made up his mind. During the days when he came to the sect, he felt that he had suffered too much, and he often couldn't eat enough, let alone any delicacies from the mountains and seas. At this moment, when I heard Xu Bing talk about food, I suddenly had the strength, and immediately began to ask Xu Bing where the food was, and how to earn spirit stones.
Xu Bing's idea was to go to the Thunder Immortal Bazaar to earn spirit stones through the ring competition. But now that there is only one spirit stone left on his body, and his cultivation has only just broken through the mortal realm, he wants to use this spirit stone to earn more, which is undoubtedly a bit of a fool's dream.
Shen Cong listened to Xu Bing's thoughts, immediately smiled, and said to Xu Bing, "What are you afraid of, even if you go to the ring to compete, only choose the same realm, with your strength, it is not easy to win the mortal realm." You just use that piece of spirit stone as a bet, and I'll leave the rest to Senior Brother, hehe......"
Xu Bing didn't know what Shen Cong's idea was, but seeing that he looked confident, Xu Bing didn't hesitate anymore, said hello to Shen Cong, and the two walked towards the Thunder Immortal Market.
In the Leixian Market, in the ring in the northeast corner, there were two monks competing at this time. These two monks are all cultivators who are in a heavy state of mind, and they have not been able to distinguish the winner after fighting for a long time. It wasn't until the two of them were finally exhausted that they hugged each other and talked and laughed a few words, and it ended in a draw.
When he first entered this Thunder Immortal Market, Shen Cong first turned around with a shocked face, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, in his feeling, this place seemed to be a holy place, much more interesting than the broken mountain peak.
At this time, the two of them stood next to the ring, looking at the two mortal monks who had just stepped down from the stage. Shen Cong said with some pain, "Oh, it's a step late, two mortal bodies are heavy, this is a lot of spirit stones."
Xu Bing didn't understand what Shen Cong meant by this, but he didn't ask, but looked at the ring, waiting for someone to go first.
It didn't take long for a monk with a heavy body to jump into the ring. He looked at the people around him, clenched his fists and said, "There are many disciples in the Lower East Peak, I don't know which senior brother is willing to come up and have a discussion."
Hearing the monk's name, there was a burst of laughter below. There were even a few people who were familiar with him who coaxed, "Qian Duo, I remember that you don't have many spirit stones, and you should change your name to Qian Shao after you lose it, haha......"
The monk, whose name was Chando, took one look at the men, but ignored them, but stood still, waiting for someone to come up and fight him.
This Qian Duo cultivated to the realm of mortal bodies, and the few people he knew before were also realms of mortal realms. In fact, in terms of cultivation, a few of them are not sure that they can win this money, but there are many people in the audience, so they make fun of the money, but if they are in the ring, in a one-on-one situation, they are not sure.
What's more, they don't have many spirit stones in their pockets, so they naturally don't want to let themselves lose their spirit stones in order to humiliate the money, and they may even be humiliated by the other party.
After waiting for a while, no one went up, Shen Cong on the side was a little anxious, and said to Xu Bing in a low voice, "Come on, junior brother, this guy is our first spirit stone."
Xu Bing originally wanted to wait and see for a while, but he looked at Shen Cong's anxious appearance, and thought that he was indeed too short of spirit stones at this time, so he no longer hesitated, took a step forward, hugged his fist at the money, and said loudly, "I want to come and learn a lesson."
As soon as the words started, everyone around them focused their eyes on Xu Bing. I saw him tap his feet on the ground, and with a little force, his body jumped up, and then landed firmly on the ring.
After standing still, everyone realized that the person who had just gone up didn't seem to have seen it, and it should be a new disciple of the sect, and suddenly there was a sigh under the ring, obviously not having the slightest hope for not knowing Xu Bing.
Although this money is mostly the same as Xu Bing's realm, he has been in the sect for more than four months, and he has been in the mortal realm for more than two months, so he is naturally more stable than Xu Bing.
However, after seeing everyone's reactions, Shen Cong did smile secretly, as if this was exactly the result he wanted. While Xu Bing and Qian Duo were still introducing each other on stage, Shen Cong squeezed to the side of the ring and found a place to sit down.
After sitting down, Shen Cong actually took out a piece of cloth the size of the same table from his arms, spread it on the ground in front of him, raised his head and shouted to everyone, "Open the village, open the village, this senior brother Qianduo, he has been in the sect for a long time, and his cultivation is also stable, and he pays one for one, and his opponent, this junior brother Xu Bing, I heard that he has only been in the sect for less than half a month, although he has barely reached the mortal realm, but it seems that it will take a long time to stabilize, and his odds are one to ten." Come on, come on, brothers, press one to ten, press one to pay ten, although this Xu Bing junior brother is just entering the sect, but you can also give it a fight, in case you win the bet, you can earn nine yuan by pressing a spirit stone, and you can earn ninety yuan by pressing ten yuan"!
Shen Cong's impassioned appearance made everyone's eyes focus on him. Among them, there were a few monks who had seen him before, and they even laughed at him, "Senior Brother Shen, it is so good to say that this Senior Brother Xu who pays ten is so good, why don't you press a little more yourself, haha......"
Hearing this, Shen Cong's face suddenly showed an embarrassed smile, as if the plan had been punctured, and he was a little embarrassed.
Seeing his expression, the monk who spoke before was more sure of his thoughts, so he walked directly to Shen Cong, took out a few spirit stones, put them in front of Shen Cong, and said, "I will press Senior Brother Qian, as for the good opportunity to lose ten, leave it to Senior Brother Shen himself."
Looking at those spirit stones, Shen Cong smiled awkwardly again, and his body writhed a few times with some nervousness. In the eyes of everyone, this is clearly the exposure of his calculations, and I don't know what to do at this time.
With the first man's bet, the rest of the crowd slowly threw themselves into the bet. Under Shen Cong's constant pained expression, everyone became more and more sure of the previous monk's statement, and there were more than 20 people who pressed Qian Duo at the same time.
There are many and few spirit stones among these people, the least is only one, and the one who pressed the most was the man who had said that he had made a lot of money before, and he directly pressed twenty spirit stones at one time.
