Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1273 Fighting, Invitation

Inside the Duxuan Palace.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the gambling match between the two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators finally came to an end.

The final outcome was beyond most people's expectations.

The green rhinoceros unicorn jade worm that had not yet awakened its powerful bloodline won the victory by fighting more fiercely, and its horn on its head pierced fiercely into the body of the other green rhinoceros unicorn jade worm.

A magical power lifted up the Green Rhinoceros One-Horned Jade Insect, which had won but was still dying. The big man in black robe excitedly crushed several pills to stabilize its injuries.

"Haha! Pu Lao'er, do you have anything else to say this time?"

"Hmph! The way of spirit insects is just like us cultivators. Without a courageous heart, how can we go further? Although your spirit insect has a good bloodline, it has long lost its inherent ferocity under your cultivation."

Faced with the mocking words from the black-robed man, the other old man in the Nascent Soul stage looked even uglier.

But as the losing party, he couldn't open his mouth to refute at this moment.

In the end, the black-haired old man snorted coldly and kept his promise and handed over the soul grass that he had gambled with.

the other side.

Li Qing and True Lord Zi Yao continued to walk towards the depths of the Duxuan Palace.

Compared to the fighting and gambling among spirit insects, what really attracts many Yuanying Zhenjuns to come in person is naturally the most widely spread fighting slaves in the Inner Star Sea.

In the vast space in the distance, there is a huge arena.

The towering black crystal pillars intertwined with each other, sealing the arena into a cage.

On the distinguished seats on the periphery, there were many figures standing among them.

At a glance, most of them are Yuanying Zhenjun and his entourage.

However, there was still a special scene that caught his eyes.

I saw a middle-aged man with gray hair, dressed in a auspicious cloud robe, sitting in the middle area.

Several beautiful women with the Jindan cultivation level served on his left and right, massaging his legs and feeding him. It was a beautiful sight.

Coincidentally, the middle-aged man was exactly the ordinary mortal that True Lord Zi Yao had mentioned before, with no cultivation at all.

Such an ordinary person can enjoy the service of several Jindan female cultivators, which shows his special identity and status.

"That mortal is from an ancient family - the Gu family. Although he is a mortal, he controls the power of resource transactions within the Gu family. His status is no less than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Moreover, the leader of the new generation of young talents in the Gu family is a direct descendant of this person."

After hearing the introduction from True Lord Zi Yao, Li Qing nodded slightly.

In the outer sea, more emphasis is placed on the separation between immortals and mortals. Even within the top families, people with spiritual roots are separated from ordinary people.

Just after the two of them sat down.

A pretty female attendant in a white dress in the Duxuan Palace has stepped forward on her own initiative.

"My Lords, here is the information of the next two slaves to take part in the fight. If you need to place a bet, just tell me."

The woman in white dress respectfully presented two jade slips and then bowed and stepped aside.

"True Lord, do you want to experience it yourself?"

True Lord Zi Yao said with a smile.

"Since we are here, we must participate!"

Li Qing smiled faintly, and his consciousness fell into the jade slip.

“I didn’t expect that these two slaves who have reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core would fight to the death!”

Even one of them was not a real fighting slave, but participated in this life-and-death fight as a free person.

"Another person with a strong mind!"

True Lord Ziyao sighed, "In this life-and-death fight, only one person is destined to survive. It seems that this person is going to fight to the death and risk everything for the chance to form a baby."

Those who voluntarily transform themselves into fighting slaves and participate in life-and-death struggles are often monks of humble origins and without any background.

In order to reach the Nascent Soul stage, they would choose to bet their own lives, enter the ring to participate in gambling, and thus gain the opportunity for subsequent promotion.

After a while.

Two figures appeared at the same time on the cage arena in front.

One of them was tall, wearing a signature slave-fighting mask, and exuded a fierce aura.

The other person was a thin young man in a black Taoist robe. His face was gaunt and he looked weak, but his cold eyes revealed determination and ferocity, like a lone wolf making his final struggle.

"Although this person took the initiative to join the slave fight, his aura clearly shows that he is injured!"

Looking at the thin young man in black robe, True Lord Zi Yao couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, although both of them have reached the great perfection of the Golden Core, the fighting slave has a stronger and more complete aura and is obviously better," Li Qing said with a smile.

"What is your plan, Master?"

"Number three!"

A look of surprise appeared on True Lord Zi Yao's face.

Obviously, this True Lord also felt that the fighting slave was stronger, but he still chose to bet on the thin young man.

"Although this person is weak, he is determined and is clearly prepared to fight to the death. In comparison, the other stronger slave does not seem to be ready to fight to the death."

Li Qing smiled and explained.

The fighting slave looked ferocious on the surface, as if he had participated in many life-and-death battles, but the fighting slave, who should have been fearless of life and death, now had a look of caution in his eyes.

As for the thin man in black robe, his face was deathly calm, with no ripples on his face.

"Okay, I also believe in the judgment of the True Lord."

After calling the woman from the Duxuan Palace, Li Qing casually bet 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. As for True Lord Zi Yao, he hesitated for a moment and finally bet 2,000 high-grade spirit stones.

He could not compare with the person next to him, who could easily take out ten thousand high-quality spirit stones.

Such a large amount of spirit stone resources is equivalent to most of his wealth.

The Ziyun Sect is just an ordinary Nascent Soul force in this world, and his wealth is not rich. For him, two thousand high-quality spirit stones are equivalent to half of the spirit stones he carries on his body.

"Five thousand high-grade spiritual stones!"

At this moment, the attack of the mortal from the Gu family directly overwhelmed a part of the Yuanying Zhenjun, which was truly heroic.

Under the gaze of everyone.

The fight between the two Jindan Dayuan monks officially began. The Jindan Dayuan Dou Nu directly sacrificed two semicircular golden sword spirit weapons, and the powerful magic power quickly burst out. The thin man in black robe sacrificed a black dagger full of sharp teeth.

After the battle broke out, the tall man in the slave fight was obviously better. The two golden sword spirit weapons flashed with spiritual light, and the golden afterimages firmly suppressed the black short sword spirit weapon. The thin man soon fell into a disadvantage.

After a while.

Dou Nu's body turned into a golden lotus, and the lotus leaves turned into sharp blades. Together with the two golden swords, they rushed towards the thin man. Bang! The black dagger was instantly knocked away.

The aura around the thin man fluctuated greatly, and he was obviously suffering from the backlash.

"waste!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, one of the Yuanying Zhenjun who had bet on the thin man in black robe cursed angrily.

"Such a powerful person also wants to follow others and participate in gambling."

On the stage.

Seeing his opponent being injured by his powerful attack, the tall fighting slave showed a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Since becoming a fighting slave, he has participated in dozens of life-and-death fights and is already familiar with the fighting in the ring. The opponent's strength is obviously weaker than his, and he is not yet adapted to the fighting rules in the ring. He has the advantage in this battle.

next moment.

The tall fighting slave yelled, and the murderous aura around him burst out again.

The lotus leaves were like substance, constantly being chopped down, and the two golden knives instantly merged together, turning into a wide sharp blade that slashed down horizontally, as if to cut the thin man in two.

Faced with such a crisis, the thin man in black robe remained very calm. He suddenly stretched out his hand and a sharp black beam instantly rushed out, accelerating towards the tall fighting slave from another direction.

The thin man in black robe was obviously trying to attack Wei to save Zhao, and wanted to force the tall fighting slave to return to defend.

"Humph! I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"

After seeing that the black sharp blade was actually a needle-shaped spiritual weapon for sneak attacks, the tall fighting slave showed a hint of caution in his eyes, and finally gave up the excellent opportunity to attack.

He then restrained some of the magic power used to activate the golden sword magic weapon, and instead concentrated on using another gray-white tortoise shell shield.

This was his last gambling fight that he had no choice but to participate in. As long as he achieved this final victory, he could regain his freedom and become one of the elders of the Chamber of Commerce behind him. He could also get a chance to form a baby and glimpse the path to the Nascent Soul.

Because of this, he, who had almost disregarded life and death in the past, has now become cautious because he sees hope.

He wanted to get through this final life-and-death battle more safely.

On the stage.

The tortoise shell spiritual weapon successfully blocked the sneak attack of the black needle spiritual weapon.

In addition, because the tall fighting slave slowed down the blessing of magic power, the power of the two golden swords weakened. The thin man in black robe turned the tables and successfully recalled the black dagger to defend again, blocking the fatal threat.

"It's just as you expected!"

True Lord Zi Yao couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

With his vision as a Yuanying Zhenjun, he could easily see that the tall fighting slave had undoubtedly missed a great opportunity.

"The backlash is coming!"

Li Qing smiled faintly.

Before he could finish his words, the thin man in black robe had already begun his counterattack.

His face looked crazy, his eyes were full of murderous light, and the magic power in his body was bursting out crazily. The black needle spiritual weapon continued to explode and harass, and a ball of black mist suddenly burst out from the inside of the black short sword spiritual weapon, surrounding the two golden knife spiritual weapons.

As if he saw the tall fighting slave's concerns, the thin man in black robe attacked more and more fiercely, throwing his own life and death behind his mind, with an attitude of exchanging his life for others.

At this moment, the tall fighting slave who originally had the advantage began to lose his composure and for a while could only defend desperately.

"burst!!"

On the ring, facing the powerful attack of two golden swords falling again, the thin man in black robe showed a ruthless look on his face, and directly detonated the black dagger. The self-detonation attack directly threw the two golden sword spirit weapons away.

The tall fighting slave immediately suffered backlash.

But before he could suppress the surging magic power in his body, another black needle magic weapon exploded at the same time.

"He's crazy?"

The tall fighting slave looked shocked.

The decision to successively self-destruct two of his own spiritual weapons would undoubtedly cause the opponent to completely lose their combat effectiveness.

But before he could figure out the other party's choice, he saw the thin man in black robe ignoring his own injuries and pounced on him again with a ferocious face.

Bright red blood kept dripping onto the ring.

The tall fighting slave became increasingly uneasy.

He also began to ignore his own injuries and tried his best to mobilize his magic power to bless the tortoise shell magic weapon in front of him.

But it was too late.

"Die!" The thin man in black robe let out a crazy roar.

I saw his skinny chest automatically split open, blood gushing out, runes flew out and intersected with each other, condensing into a blood blade.

boom!
The blood blade pierced through the swaying defense barrier of the tortoise-shell spirit weapon with lightning speed! A head with eyes full of unwillingness rolled wantonly on the ring.

Before he died, the tall fighting slave once again recalled the words of advice given to them by an elder of the Chamber of Commerce when they first became fighting slaves.

If you must die, you will live; if you are lucky enough to live, you will die!
It is precisely because of his fearless fighting spirit that he has been able to get to where he is today.

But when the hope of regaining his freedom and having a baby appeared, he still couldn't keep his original intention.

"You are truly extraordinary. You made the right bets both times!"

True Lord Zi Yao complimented with a smile on his face.

This victory in the gambling fight also turned the three thousand high-grade spirit stones he had paid previously into six thousand high-grade spirit stones.

He couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he had bet his entire fortune on it, it would have probably doubled.

"It's just luck!"

Li Qing smiled gently.

This kind of life-and-death battle is affected by many factors, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot determine the outcome simply by relying on exploration.

At this time, a Jindan maid holding a jade tray came forward.

Looking at the two storage bags on the jade plate, Li Qing shook his head secretly.

The reward for winning this kind of gambling fight is so great that even Yuanying Zhenjun would find it difficult to refuse it. It is indeed a huge temptation.

For an ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun, if he wants to obtain 10,000 high-quality spirit stones, he doesn’t know how many actions he has to take to have a chance. However, in the Duxuan Palace, it only takes a moment.

"I've troubled Daoist Zi Yao to personally bring me here for a tour. Why don't you put away the storage bag as well?"

Li Qing's casual words made Master Zi Yao's heart suddenly stir.

There were 20,000 high-quality spirit stones in that storage bag. Such a fortune was equivalent to his entire fortune. For him, who was in the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, this was simply a huge temptation.

"You are joking, Master!"

True Lord Zi Yao quickly suppressed his inner greed and only took away his own storage bag.

"If it weren't for the help of the True Lord, I'm afraid the entire Purple Cloud Sect would have been wiped out. How dare I accept the True Lord's favor again."

He knew very well in his heart that 20,000 high-quality spirit stones were very important to him, but they meant little to the entire Ziyun Sect.

Only by maintaining some relationship with this True Lord can the entire Ziyun Sect have a chance.

If he accepted the spirit stone, I'm afraid there would be no affection left between the two sides, and the friendship between the old friends with the same roots would also fade away.

This is the biggest loss.

With this man's terrifying background, he will surely become a powerful late Nascent Soul stage master in the future. How could he choose to damage the future of Ziyun Sect for his own benefit?

"That's fine!"

Seeing that True Lord Zi Yao was determined, Li Qing smiled and put away the other storage bag.

After a while.

Accompanied by True Lord Zi Yao, Li Qing continued to wander around the Duxuan Palace.

Throughout the hall, there are various forms of gambling.

In addition to fighting slaves, there are also flesh puppets that can be controlled by Yuanying Zhenjun himself using his spiritual power.

Under the influence of the power of nightmare, Li Qing himself began to actively release the desires in his heart, happily participating in various gambling fights, and completely integrating into this ancient inner star sea world.

"My Lords, the Xuan Palace has recently collected a batch of ancient raw stones, which are available for you to gamble with."

Betting on stones is the most popular form of gambling in the Inner Star Sea, besides fighting slaves.

Each piece of raw stone is taken from the core of a high-level spiritual mineral vein. After being nurtured over ancient years and under the influence of the erosion of various complex forces, some more rare spiritual objects of heaven and earth will often be produced in the depths of some ancient spiritual mineral veins. Of course, it is also possible that the treasures contained inside the raw stone are worthless due to the complex forces.

This is the fun of gambling on stones.

Deep in the Duxuan Palace.

A group of Yuanying Zhenjun gathered on a huge black square.

Gray boulders of varying sizes are randomly placed in various corners of the square. Each boulder has a special restriction on it, isolating it from everyone's spiritual detection.

This is the biggest test.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot directly use his spiritual sense to explore the situation inside the raw stone, and can only speculate based on the power surrounding the raw stone.

"Brother Yue, after I was defeated by you last time, I went back and seriously comprehended another method of exploring spirits. This time I'm going to be serious!"

In the crowd, a middle-aged man in brocade robe and with an elegant face smiled and looked at his friend beside him.

"Haha! Brother Shangguan, just go ahead!"

Another sturdy man in a red cloud Taoist robe laughed loudly: "But what are you going to bet on this time, Brother Shangguan?"

"Why not use the newly discovered spiritual land?"

"Well, it's just a sacred place, it's not worth it for both of us to hurt each other's feelings."

This is also one of the reasons why gambling and fighting are so widespread in the Inner Star Sea.

In order to avoid direct confrontation and conflict, some forces often resort to gambling to resolve disputes.

The two elegant middle-aged men in brocade robes were among the rare peak-level Nascent Soul masters in the Duxuan Palace. The fight between two such powerful men naturally attracted a lot of attention.

But at this moment.

An old man with all kinds of rare spiritual pendants hanging all over his body walked forward slowly.

"It turned out to be Master Zhuge!"

The Yuanying Zhenjuns around took the initiative to come forward and say hello.

Even the two peak mid-Nascent Soul stage warriors who were about to have a gambling fight smiled and nodded at the old man.

"Another mortal?"

Li Qing's gaze then fell on the old man in white robe who appeared.

This old man also has no cultivation, but the treasures hanging around him are quite good. They can be said to be all fourth-level fine treasures.

Even if Yuanying Zhenjun personally attacked it, it would not be easy to kill it.

The old man in white robe had an ancient jade plate hanging on his chest, which gave off an extraordinary and mighty power, with a faint hint of spiritual intimidation. It was obvious at first glance that it was a powerful treasure guarding the soul.

"This is none other than Zhuge Cang, the guest elder of the Duxuan Palace!"

The words of True Lord Zi Yao rang in Li Qing's ears.

"This person is truly extraordinary. Although he is a mortal, he possesses a special physique. His sensitivity to the heaven and earth is no less than that of an ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun. He is a recognized master of gambling on stones."

"Special physique?"

There was a hint of surprise in Li Qing's eyes.

From what he had seen and experienced, those special spirits were often very talented. He had also never seen anyone who did not have spiritual roots but had a special physique.

"That's right. At the beginning, more than one late Nascent Soul master personally investigated the situation inside this person's body, but the final result was the same. He had no spiritual roots in his body, but he contained another special power of heaven and earth. That kind of power was sensitive to heaven and earth, but it did not belong to the category of cultivator power."

After hearing the explanation from True Lord Zi Yao, Li Qing's eyes moved slightly.

The Sealed Land is part of the spiritual world, but due to the omnipotent means of those almost immortal beings, the rules of heaven and earth within the Sealed Land are distorted and changed.

The entire spiritual world is vast and endless. Even true immortals have appeared there. It is very normal to breed some special people.

"So, this person's physique should correspond to another path of cultivation, different from the path of immortal cultivators. He is able to have perception that surpasses all immortal cultivators, and it is precisely because of this..."

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but reveal a hint of interest in his eyes.

He also became more interested in the special physique of the old man Zhuge.

However, this person has a good background and is highly valued by the Duxuan Palace, so it is not easy for him to forcibly investigate here.

The treasures hanging around the other party are probably also to deal with some sudden malicious intent.

"Master Zhuge, you've come just in time. The two of us are planning to select raw stones for a fight. Master, why don't you help us check them out!"

The elegant middle-aged man who was gambling took the initiative to walk towards the old man Zhuge.

"exactly!"

Another burly man smiled and nodded.

The two mid-Nascent Soul masters are both leaders of a Nascent Soul force and are well-known. They don't want to be chosen as a piece of waste in the end under the attention of so many of their peers.

"The two True Lords are great!"

Old man Zhuge smiled and returned the greeting with a calm attitude, without any intention of humility or flattery.

"If the two True Lords need it, I will provide them with some advice."

At this moment.

Old man Zhuge seemed to sense something and turned back to look.

But he only saw a young monk in a green robe looking at him.

"Has this True Lord just arrived at the Inner Star Sea?"

Old man Zhuge smiled and took the initiative to bow towards the green-robed figure in the distance.

"Meet Master Zhuge!"

Li Qing smiled and nodded, then returned the greeting.

He didn't expect that this mortal old man had such sharp perception. He had no cultivation at all, but he could sense his gaze and even judge that he had just arrived in the Inner Star Sea.

"Are you curious about my methods?"

A special smile appeared in the eyes of the old man Zhuge: "Your Excellency should rarely see a mortal like me in the outer sea who has the means to explore the heaven and earth!"

"I wonder if you are interested in a fight with me?"

"Betting?"

A smile also appeared on Li Qing's face.

"How does Master Zhuge plan to fight?"

"It's quite simple. The True Lord and I will each select three raw stones and compare their values!" The old man Zhuge continued with a smile, "If the True Lord loses, you need to take out a protective treasure that is beneficial to me. On the contrary, if the True Lord wins, I can agree to one of the conditions of the True Lord, or the True Lord can choose any treasure from me!"

At this moment, the Yuanying Zhenjuns gathered around also began to sense something unusual.

You know, Master Zhuge has never been short of ordinary treasures.

Unless the other party is a powerful Nascent Soul master, he can take out a treasure that will interest this master.

Before this, Master Zhuge had also taken advantage of the fact that some powerful Yuanying Zhenjun from the outer sea did not understand his situation and invited them to gamble with each other.

"of course can!"

Li Qing smiled and nodded.
