Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 859: Gambling on stones, the trajectory of fate, and the emergence of luck

At this time, the strong man named Zhou stayed in the huge city.

Although he was unwilling to accept this failure, he still remembered his primary goal, which was to earn resources for cultivation.

After all, the realms after the Spirit Transformation Realm require too many resources.

Even the family behind Zhou Hongwei would not provide him with everything.

Therefore, he had to find another way.

With an unconscious mentality, Zhou Hongwei actually came to North City unknowingly.

The northern part of the huge city is a special and prosperous place.

Although it was prosperous, the monks traveling on the streets seemed to be in a hurry.

It seemed as if there was something urgent and he was busy about it.

Gambling stone shop!
The area where North City is located is almost everywhere with gambling stone shops.

Or there could be shops that provide supporting services, such as restaurants, Xiangnu Pavilion, etc.

The layout here is quiet and peaceful, with green trees and ancient trees everywhere you look, and the aura is strong.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of other streets, there is a sense of tranquility.

There is a huge old tree in front of us, with its branches spreading out and its trunk being dozens of meters tall, covering a very large area.

Hundreds of figures were gathered under the shade of the trees. Each person had a different aura of cultivation and their spiritual energy fluctuations varied greatly.

There are masters in the Spirit Transformation Realm, as well as younger cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But at this moment, they all looked excited and their eyes were constantly looking ahead.

Following their gaze, they saw a pile of round stones at the roots of the giant tree right in front of them.

At a rough glance, there are at least nearly a hundred stones.

These round stones are neatly divided and arranged in an orderly manner, like chess pieces on a chessboard.

The round stone is pitch black in color, and from the outside, it seems to be just an ordinary object, nothing special.

In fact, these stones were refined through some special techniques and came with various sealing formations.

Able to avoid all prying eyes and most of the spying techniques.

In addition, the location of the giant tree is blessed by the Absolute Spirit Formation, which can minimize the spiritual fluctuations of others.

Therefore, the areas where gambling stone shops are located are generally very safe.

Zhou Hongwei followed the crowd and came to this gambling stone shop.

"It's time to gamble on stones, it's time to gamble on stones!"

"Those who want to place a bet, hurry up and place your bet!"

"This time, the grand prizes include thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, the spiritual weapon Demon Trapping Diagram refined by Master Chen Yezi, the top-grade Yuan-burning Furnace needed by the alchemy master, and so on."

"It can be said that there are many treasures, everything you need."

"Everyone, place your bets quickly!"

Zhou Hong pushed through the crowd and came to the front. His eyes fell on the round stones and he heard the shouts of the manager of the gambling stone shop.

One hundred round stones were all displayed individually. Even a disciple of a great sect like him, who could secretly practice pupil techniques and Taoist magic, could not see through the inside of the stone at a glance.

One could only vaguely observe some very complex and profound evil-sealing runes.

Obviously, there is an expert behind this gambling stone shop!
It would take a master of formation to be so precise.

In fact, it is very simple to gamble on stones in the cultivation world.

That is to put some treasures into a pile of stones, which can be spiritual crystals, magic tools, elixirs, fragments of powerful skills, etc.

As long as customers are interested, they can place a bet on any stone.

If you want to open a stone and get what's inside, you need to spend spirit crystals.

For example, if it takes 10,000 spirit crystals to open the first stone, then the second stone will require 20,000 spirit crystals, and the price increases accordingly.

Guests who come to gamble on stones can take out their own spirit crystals and gamble on a piece of spirit stone individually, or they can join forces with others to gamble together.

You only bet and you get what you want. You are responsible for your own gains and losses.

When gambling together, the risks and benefits are shared equally. As long as the things that are gambled have a price, they can be shared equally with others.
This is gambling on stones!
The rules are simple and you will learn them at a glance.

But it is full of uncertainty. Except for the people inside the gambling stone shop, no one else knows what kind of treasures are sealed in those stones.

It could be a few broken stones, or it could be a seventh-level divine stone, a priceless treasure!

Therefore, in the gambling stone shop, there is always the possibility of becoming rich overnight!

This is a game that relies solely on luck, but it is loved by countless people!

Because the entire process of gambling on stones in a gambling stone shop is open and transparent, it is difficult to fake.

What treasures are put into the gambling stone shop and how much profit can be made will almost always be revealed directly.

And every time the stone is cut, there are a group of people watching, which eliminates the possibility of others tampering secretly.

After all, the cultivation world is different from the mortal world. Gambling houses in the mortal world may be able to maximize their profits through various small tricks.

But in the spiritual world, it is very difficult to achieve this.

Or in other words, the gain does not outweigh the loss!

After all, monks have strong spiritual perception, and ordinary scams don’t mean much to them.

It is a scam that is too sophisticated and is not worth it at all just to defraud those casual cultivators who only have a few thousand or tens of thousands of spirit crystals in their pockets.

In addition, the monks are not fools. They will find out that the gambling stone shop is playing tricks during the gambling process.

From now on, the reputation of this gambling stone shop will be completely ruined.

Guests who come to gamble on stones will disappear without a trace and will never come back again.
"Bet! Bet! Bet!"

"I bet three thousand spirit crystals on round stone No. 67!"

"I bet 5 spirit crystals on the No. round stone!"

"I bet 88 spirit crystals on boulder No. , open it directly!"

Under the giant tree, there was a constant sound of betting. The sound was noisy and clamorous, and it seemed extremely harsh.

But many monks present were immersed in it, their faces flushed, unable to extricate themselves.

With just a few hundred or a few thousand spirit crystals, you can get a chance to obtain thousand-year-old spiritual medicines and spiritual weapons worth millions of spirit crystals.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by such an activity?
"Quickly dissolve the stone! Quickly dissolve the stone!"

A scholar with a gloomy face shouted, pointing at the round stone number 88.

The monks who had placed their bets on other stones suddenly became silent, waiting for the final stone to be cut.

Because the rule of the gambling stone shop is to cut the stone on the spot, thus proving that the gambling stone shop is not cheating.

At the same time, it also stimulates other guests. When they solve a stone, there will be one less boulder on the field.

That is tantamount to telling them that they are one step closer to the real grand prize.

Faced with the temptation of millions of spirit crystals, few people could remain calm. Even Zhou Hongwei was affected and made a few bets casually.

Before this, he had never come into contact with these things.

At this moment, influenced by the atmosphere on the scene, Zhou Hongwei also picked up a round stone and prepared to try to solve it.

Anyway, he has a lot of spirit crystals!
Finally, with the intervention of the manager of the gambling stone shop, the round stone chosen by the gloomy-faced scholar was untied on the spot.

When the sealing array inside was broken, a precious medicine that was eight hundred years old was suddenly revealed.

As soon as it appeared, the rich medicinal fragrance filled the entire root of the giant tree.

Countless people are intoxicated by it.

When the people around saw this, they all felt a burning sensation in their hearts, and many people's breathing became heavier.

Ten thousand spirit crystals produced an eight-hundred-year-old precious medicine, which immediately caused a widespread commotion.

What damn luck!
"This is an eight-hundred-year-old medicine. If you sell it in any medicine shop, it can fetch at least a few hundred thousand spirit crystals!"

"If it is made into a pill, its value will probably increase several times."

Some people sighed, their eyes full of envy, and felt envious of the scholar.

This simple transaction can result in a profit difference of dozens or even hundreds of times!

Who wouldn't be crazy about it?
"Dear guests, since the first stone has been opened, the price of opening the stone a second time will increase to 100,000 spirit crystals!"

"Please hurry up and place your bets!"

"For those who are not so strong, just place your bets. After the round stone is unlocked, our stone shop will pay out according to the same proportion as the bet."

The manager of the gambling stone shop shouted, and a group of puppets stood nearby, guarding the boulders.

After all, there are many people present, and there are always people with dirty hands and feet, so we have to be on guard!
"Our Fang family's stone workshop has always been honest and trustworthy. There are countless treasures placed in the round stones."

"Among the remaining ninety-nine stones, there are still the thousand-year-old elixir, the demon-trapping map, and the Yuan-burning furnace that have not been opened."

"These are all high-end goods worth millions of spirit crystals!"

The manager of the gambling stone shop handed the precious medicine to the scholar with a smile on his face. He did not seem to feel sorry for it at all. Instead, he was enthusiastically trying to attract customers.

The gambling stone shop is engaged in the business of gambling on stones. Unless someone is really lucky and only gets a few pebbles, he can pick out the most valuable treasures in advance.

Otherwise, the gambling stone shop will definitely not suffer losses.

It’s nothing more than earning more and earning less.

After all, those elixirs, magical instruments, alchemy furnaces, etc. were originally negotiated with other shops in the city.

Just buy it at cost price.

As they are strategic partners, the gambling stone shop will certainly not suffer losses.

Sure enough, after the previous demonstration case, the sounds of betting in Fang’s gambling stone shop became lively again.

An hour later, Zhou Hongwei was driven out by the people from Fang's gambling stone shop.

If it weren't for the token hanging around his waist indicating that he was a VIP of Daosheng Tower, he would have been invited into the backyard by the people from the gambling stone shop.

Ask him why he resorted to such despicable means to bring disaster to the gambling stone shop.

At this moment, Zhou Hongwei looked at the things under his feet with a dull face: a fifth-grade alchemy furnace, a low-grade spiritual weapon, and a thousand-year-old precious medicine.
The many treasures that were originally used as gimmicks by the gambling stone shop to attract gamblers to come and gamble on stones were actually bought up by him.

"Am I cursed today? I'm so lucky."

Zhou Hongwei murmured, his eyes full of shock.

You know, the real value of these three things alone is at least 12 million spirit crystals.

The price he paid was nothing more than solving three problems.
A hundred times the return!
"No, I have to try somewhere a little more advanced. If my luck can continue, I won't have to worry about future training resources."

Zhou Hongwei's eyes flickered and his breathing became rapid. It was obvious that he had gained strong self-confidence after winning the grand prize.

His gaze passed through the dense forests and headed deeper into the north city.

In those places, there are more advanced gambling stone shops, some of which only gamble on rare objects in the world and great scriptures!
However, the entry threshold for those gambling stone shops is very high, requiring the essence of the five elements or the essence of the stars as a prerequisite.

“No, I can’t hold it anymore.”

Zhou Hongwei put away the treasures at his feet and strode towards the depths of the dense forest.

A day later, Zhou Hongwei was politely invited out by a mid-level gambling stone shop.

In his storage bag, there was also a piece of fifth-grade spiritual ore, Sanxing Stone, sixth-grade spiritual ore, star gold, and the core of the thousand-year-old soul-breaking wood.
But Zhou Hongwei was also blacklisted by this gambling stone shop and was not allowed to gamble on stones again.

Three days later, Zhou Hongwei was invited to a large gambling stone shop again, and was marked as one of the guests who would not bet on by the shop.

Seven days later, the amount of the five elements essence in Zhou Hongwei's storage bag had reached more than 20 million drops.

In addition, there are a large number of treasures, such as sixth-level elixirs, spiritual weapons, formation diagrams, fragments of great scriptures, and so on.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Hongwei at this moment is a Duobao Taoist.

But after experiencing so many days of turmoil, Zhou Hongwei was completely blacklisted by all gambling stone shops and was regarded as one of the most unwelcome guests.

"Enough, enough!"

"All the resources for future cultivation have been found."

At this moment, Zhou Hongwei didn't care about those things. He looked at the many spiritual objects in the storage bag with joy, revealing a mouthful of bright white teeth.

That is joy from the heart!
“Is this what it feels like to be destined to be with you?”

Zhou Hongwei waved his sleeves and looked full of energy. He no longer had the feeling of defeat he had after being defeated by the mysterious young man more than ten days ago.

Did he suddenly realize this?
Zhou Hongwei discovered that during the period since his defeat, he seemed to have a spiritual awakening and was able to sense something.

It was as if the God of Wealth possessed him and his luck changed completely.

No matter what stone you bet on, the price will skyrocket in the end and you will reap a huge profit.

If this isn’t the reincarnation of the ancient God of Wealth, then what is it?
"Does the power of destiny have such benefits?"

Luo Yan, who had been paying attention to the strong man named Zhou in the dark, also looked thoughtful at this moment.

A wisp of invisible air was suspended at his fingertips, ethereal, ethereal and mysterious.

"Isn't fate related to cause and effect?"

"How does it have anything to do with luck?"

Luo Yan was puzzled, and mobilized the mysterious power of destiny in his body to examine it carefully.

In the end, still nothing was gained.

"Is it because of me, or is that person just a special case?"

Luo Yan guessed that there must be a clue that caused this situation to happen.

Or it could be his own great law, which, after integrating the power of dozens of laws, has undergone some extremely subtle but incredible deep changes.

Or maybe there was a subtle reaction of harmony between the ray of destiny force released by Luo Yan and the disciple of the Great Zhoutian Star Gate.

This led to a burst of luck.
Before Luo Yan could verify the idea in his mind, he found that another disciple of the Great Zhoutian Xingchen Sect who was parasitized by the power of destiny had also changed a lot at this moment (End of this chapter)
