Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Swordsman's Gamble
Not to mention, after swallowing these two thousand-year-old Yin Souls, Chen Yuan felt that the evil qi in the dantian was churning, and the strength of the muscles and flesh in his body instantly increased a lot!
He clearly realized that he was only one step away from the peak of Qi cultivation!
It seems that what Zhong Kui said before was that he swallowed a thousand-year-old ghost king and improved his cultivation by a large margin, it was not casual nonsense.
Swallowing a superb ghost is better than ten years of penance.
"Concubine, is that you?"
A surprised voice sounded, Chen Yuan turned around suddenly, and saw a pig-headed human body with a monster-like figure walking towards this side.
"Zhu Bajie?"
Chen Yuan's heart was shocked.
"Senior brother, how did you become like this, so ugly. ”
Concubine Wu Wan looked at the visitor with a smile and a smile.
"Hey, the traffic of the Ghost Emperor Secret Realm has dropped sharply recently, and business is difficult to do, no, in order to attract attention and attract customers, I made such a down-to-earth image. ”
The pig-headed man shook his head and sighed.
"That's not right, among the public secret realms in Huaguo, the Ghost Emperor Secret Realm can also be regarded as a first-class great secret realm, at least...... It's not much different from "Fuxi Secret Realm" and "Shennong Secret Realm", right?"
An adjutant next to him couldn't help but mutter.
"Hey, that was before, recently, I heard that there was an eight-clawed divine dragon in the Penglai Secret Realm on the edge of the East China Sea, and many cultivators heard the news and went away, stealing a lot of our business, hmph, what kind of bullshit divine dragon, if there really is, it should have been discovered thousands of years ago. ”
After the pig-headed man finished speaking, he suddenly changed his words, and said with a smile: "Eh, since all the comrades in your bureau are here, why don't you go to my small teahouse and sit down?" Take care of my senior brother's business, anyway, you are also reimbursed with public funds." ”
"Cut, you know the routine for me. ”
Concubine Wu pursed her lips and looked at Chen Yuan in a requesting manner.
"I don't care, just sit down and talk slowly. Chen Yuan said lightly.
......
......
The group came to a quaint little teahouse.
After serving tea, Concubine Wu officially began to explain.
"Doctor Chen, as you can see, this little boss is my senior brother, but although he started early, he gave up his cultivation in the middle of Qi cultivation and came to the secret realm to open such a small shop. ”
"Oh, then what kind of sect are you?"
Chen Yuan took a sip of tea, and suddenly felt cool and delicious, overflowing with sweetness.
Concubine Wu Wan smiled and said with a proud expression: "Don't hide it from Doctor Chen, we are disciples of Qionghua Pavilion. ”
"Qionghua Pavilion?" Compared with Shushan Mountain and Lingyin Temple, Chen Yuan heard this name for the first time.
"Yes. Concubine Wu Wan introduced: "It just so happens that I will officially tell you about the "Dao Alliance" now. ”
"After the patriarch of Shushan Qingling preached the world, the cultivation realm began to flourish day by day, and a hundred flowers bloomed, in order not to affect the normal order of the world, the various sects of the cultivation realm jointly established this organization called the "Dao League". “
"But today, within the Dao League, due to different philosophies, it is divided into two factions, the North and the South, the "Southern Dao League" and the "Northern Dao League"-"
"The Southern Dao League is the Southern Xiuzhen camp with Shushan as the leader and Murong Zhenyun as the leader of the alliance, and the main purpose is to transcend the red dust and seek the Tao wholeheartedly. ”
And north of the Yellow River, is headed by the "Lingyin Temple", the innate master "Chiba Zen Master" is in charge of the Northern Daomeng, pay attention to the dual cultivation of immortals, subduing demons and eliminating demons, and helping the world, not only that, but the Northern Daomeng and the relevant government departments are also relatively close. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan asked softly, "Speaking of which, Miss Wu's sect, Qionghua Pavilion, must belong to the Northern Sect?"
"Yes, the colleagues of the Psionic Bureau are basically from the Northern Dao League. ”
Concubine Wu nodded and said.
"That's right. Chen Yuan thought for a while, and then asked curiously: "Then who is stronger and who is weak in the north and south?"
He originally wanted to inquire about Murong Zhenyun's strength, but after thinking about it, he changed his words.
"It's hard to say. ”
Concubine Wu Wan shook her head blankly: "In terms of power alone, in addition to Shushan, the Southern Sect also has four famous sects, such as Xingyi Palace, Wuhou Gate, Kunlun, and Longhu Mountain, and the Northern Daoist League also has "Qionghua Pavilion", "Lingjian Villa", "Medicine King Valley", and "Xiaoyao Faction" as the leaders, which can be regarded as ...... Let's be evenly matched. ”
Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something again: "But three months later, the two leaders of the North and South factions seem to have reached an agreement that they will meet in the Penglai Secret Realm to discuss major affairs in the world, and I am afraid that the reunification of the Dao Alliance will be close at hand." ”
"Is there such a thing?"
Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but think of what Murong Zhenyun said to him at that time......
It seems that if you want to rescue Yang Xiaochan's father and daughter and return this favor, this is an opportunity to try.
It turned out that he had always had a knot in his heart.
Zhou Yingying's last phone call and the cultivation elixir prepared for him made him entangled for this time.
"This favor, if you can pay it back, try to pay it back......"
"It's only been three months, and I don't know how far I can cultivate. ”
"In short, whether it is to repay the favor or to help Zhou Sitong continue his life, the progress of cultivation must be accelerated. ”
Chen Yuan's heart once again strengthened his thoughts.
After drinking a cup of tea, Concubine Wu Wan took the initiative to ask, "Doctor Chen, shall I take you to the market in the secret realm?"
"Bazaar?" Chen Yuan was slightly stunned: "It's okay, it's all here, let's go." ”
At this time, the pig-headed boss walked up and said with a courteous face: "Senior sister, do you want to remember the checkout now?"
"I'll treat you. I'll have to trouble you as a part-time tour guide later. ”
Chen Yuan smiled at Concubine Wu Wan, took the initiative to get up and said, "Boss, how much?"
"May I ask you are spirit stones or cash?" said the pig-headed boss respectfully.
"Spirit Stone?" Chen Yuan frowned: "I'm sorry, I don't have this kind of thing, let's still cash." ”
"Okay. It seems that he has been prepared, and the pig-headed boss took out a QR code card from his arms: "A total of 40,000 8, you can transfer it directly by Alipay." ”
Chen Yuan was stunned and pondered: "The things in this secret realm are too expensive, right?
"Brother, you may be here for the first time, our tea here is not an ordinary tea, this is Qionghua Zhenlu, with remarkable energy efficiency, commonly known as the Red Bull in the cultivation world!"
As soon as the pig-headed boss saw Chen Yuan's expression, he immediately explained.
Qionghua Zhenlu: Isn't this the spiritual fluid that Zhou Yingying left for himself at that time?
No wonder it sounds so familiar.
"Doctor Chen, you are too polite, you are a guest of our Psionic Bureau, how can you break the bank. ”
At this time, Concubine Wu Wan took out an oval-shaped delicate jade from her pocket: "10 taels of spirit stones, is it enough?"
"Enough is enough, my sister is generous. The pig-headed man took the money with both hands, and the joy blossomed, and his mouth muttered: "Oh, I knew that the Psionic Energy Bureau was so rich, I had to work harder back then, and I also asked the master to help me arrange it, hey." ”
Chen Yuan looked confused, such a piece of jade is worth 50,000 yuan?
It seems that the relationship between the monetary financing between the cultivation realm and the reality realm is very delicate.
......
......
Next, Chen Yuan followed Concubine Wu and her party to a brightly lit night market.
The surroundings are noisy and lively, the voices of people are boiling, and under the illumination of colorful lights, it is like daylight.
Chen Yuan actually saw several familiar celebrity faces!
What Guanxi, Yanzu, Yifan, even Brother Sun, Lu Lai Buddha have!
Of course, he knew that these guys were cultivators who deliberately changed their appearance.
Chen Yuan was thinking about whether to change his appearance, when suddenly there were fierce fighting and cheers in front of him.
"There's a ring match ahead, Dr. Chen, let's go over and have a look." ”
Concubine Wu Wan excitedly proposed.
"Yes. ”
Chen Yuan nodded and followed her.
On the tall ring ten zhang square, two young swordsmen came and went, sword light danced, and they were fighting fiercely.
The audience was surrounded by all kinds of spectators, only to see their expressions excited, hysterical cheers, like excited gamblers.
"This is a ring competition held regularly in the secret realm, not limited to sects, but only for cultivators who are fellow practitioners, the mode is divided into attack and defense, and it can be regarded as an entertaining activity until the point is reached. ”
Concubine Wu hurriedly introduced to him.
"It's just an entertainment competition, so why are these spectators so excited?"
Chen Yuan was slightly surprised, these people were like knocking on the medicine, and they couldn't wait to go up and fight by themselves.
"Mr. Chen doesn't know, this competition is a gambling handicap open to the public, these guys, but they are all betting big bets, can they not be excited?"
One of the tall and thin adjutant of the Psionic Energy Bureau pointed to a handsome, white-robed swordsman on the stage and said: "He is the defender of this competition, the most popular second-generation disciple of the Xiaoyao faction, Chang Wei, he not only has a solid internal cultivation, but also has the true inheritance of the head of the Xiaoyao faction, he has been in this ring for a month, no one can break it, it can be said that he is under the initiate, crushing invincible!"
After speaking, he pointed to the man opposite who was ragged, with a filthy face and looked like a homeless man, and said: "And this guy, called Zhou Zilin, is an outcast of Shushan who was publicly expelled from the division. ”
After he said this, Zhou Zilin on the stage had been kicked by Chang Wei, but the former seemed to be unwilling to admit defeat, turned over and stood up, and rushed up again.
"You see, the current real-time odds have become 80:1, and 99% of the bet amount is bet on Chang Weisheng, although the odds are low, but the steady profit, steady as a low guarantee!"
As soon as the tall and thin adjutant finished speaking, several other adjutants of the Psionic Bureau had already rushed to the front desk with an excited face, took out spirit stones, and began to call.
Concubine Wu Wan didn't move, and looked tentatively at Chen Yuan, who was silent: "Doctor Chen, what do you think of this competition?"
Chen Yuan coldly observed the sword momentum of the two swordsmen for a long time. He spit out a few words lightly: "Chang Wei has an impatient temperament, the sword goes sideways, the defeat has appeared, and when he makes thirty-one moves, he will be broken by the Shushan swordsman." ”
As soon as he said this, the cultivators around him let out a mocking laugh.
"Where did you come from, little brother, do you know how to do it?"
"Hahahaha, this guy is probably crazy, Chang Wei will lose? This is the funniest joke I've ever heard!"
"Eh, you say, this buddy, I'm afraid it's not the dog of Shushan in the south, right? Could it be that the outcast surnamed Zhou above is his senior brother?"
"I guess it must be, Shushan has been shrinking to the south for many years, and the swordsmanship has long declined, what can I do to fight with our Pure Yang Kendo in the north?"
All kinds of discussions came and went, and they all regarded Chen Yuan as an outlier and cast a disdainful gaze.
Chen Yuan didn't care, and asked Concubine Wu Wan, "Miss Wu, how many spirit stones do you still have on your body?"
"100 taels. Concubine Wu Wan said dumbfoundedly: "What's wrong?"
"Give it to me, I'm going to bet on this Shushan swordsman. Chen Yuan hurriedly said: "Even if I borrow you, I will pay you back twice later." ”
"Okay! I'll bet for you! It doesn't matter if you win or lose!" Concubine Wu Wan didn't hesitate at all, rushed up, looked at the people around her, and several subordinates of the Psionic Energy Bureau, with a hot gaze, gritted her teeth, and said, "Official......! I'll bet 100 taels of spirit stones, Shushan swordsman Zhou Zilin Sheng!"
The audience was in an uproar.
All eyes were on the strong, bearded man.
After placing the bet, Concubine Wu Wan's face turned red, and she ran out of the crowd and returned to Chen Yuan's side.
"Thank you for believing in me. Chen Yuan said lightly, squinting at the situation on the stage.
Ten minutes later.
Gongs and drums sounded.
A majestic voice came:
"At the end of this round, Shushan swordsman Zhou Zilin won, and the two sides used thirty-one moves!"
