Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"The Dragon Arena might be a good place to make money...!"

On the way to the inner city, Lu Feng looked eager and seemed impatient.

"Young Master Lu, do you really intend to buy that 'Dragon Head Lottery' thing?"

Seeing this, Gu Canyang, who dwells in the outer world, couldn't help but speak up, seemingly also somewhat surprised.

After all, the Dragon Head Lottery is just one of the ways the Dragon Arena makes money. The odds of winning are at most one in fifty. And making money by relying on this kind of "gambling" method is basically a pipe dream!

"That's right."

Lu Feng replied almost without hesitation, "Old Gu, didn't you hear what the vendor was saying? The highest level, the Golden Dragon Head Lottery, has a very low odds of winning, but the payout ratio is one in ten thousand...!"

"One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones may not seem like a lot, but it's not a small sum either. Besides, I have the Treasure Basin in my possession, so the number of these high-grade spirit stones can at least increase tenfold!"

"Hmph, the reward for the Golden Dragon Head Prize is good, but you still have to guess it correctly in the end, otherwise it will all be for nothing, and you'll even waste the spirit stones you have..."

In response to Lu Feng's reply, Gu Canyang snorted coldly, his tone still dismissive. "Don't forget, kid, those lottery cards are all coated with special ink, and the lucky numbers drawn each time are different. It's almost a one-in-fifty chance. How are you going to guess?"

"Are you planning to win by sheer quantity, buying up all the Golden Dragon lottery tickets at once?"

"Old man, kid, I never said I'd win the lottery by guessing..."

With another grin, Lu Feng interrupted the other person, saying in a low voice, "If we just guess, it'll take forever to win, and besides, I can't afford that many lottery tickets. We need to find another way..."

"Young Master Lu, could it be that you intend to...?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Canyang was stunned for a moment, then his pupils contracted slightly, as if he had also thought of something.

"Cheating!"

The two blurted it out almost at the same time.

Gu Canyang stroked his long beard, his tone somewhat intriguing, "Hmm, that's a good shortcut, but how do you plan to cheat, kid?"

"The special ink applied to those dragon-head lottery cards can block the detection of Yuan Power, and even experts at the Profound Gang Realm can't do anything about it unless they forcibly destroy it. Even if you wanted to peek at the lucky numbers on the cards in advance, it wouldn't be that easy..."

"Hehe, I can't do that, kid, but I'm sure you, Elder Gu, have a way to do it...!"

Faced with Gu Canyang's question, Lu Feng looked confident and then grinned.

"You little brat from the Lu family, you've got some serious dreams!"

Seeing Lu Feng finally reveal his true colors, Gu Canyang's old face froze slightly, then he suddenly realized, "Hmph, so that's why you dared to take advantage of the Dragon Arena! You were targeting me from the very beginning...!"

"Old Master, I am, after all, your most outstanding disciple. You wouldn't refuse to help with such a small matter, would you?"

Lu Feng's face was full of anticipation, but his tone was also tinged with sadness, "Besides, I'm penniless right now. If I don't rake in some spirit stones to spend, I'm afraid I won't even be able to afford some low-level pills and demon cores...!"

"Alright, alright, stop playing the victim with me...!"

Faced with Lu Feng's "playing the victim," Gu Canyang was equally helpless. He then said, "Young man Lu, although I can help you cheat, the Dragon Arena is, after all, a near-fourth-rank power. If you repeatedly cheat to obtain the Dragon Head Lottery rewards, it's hard to guarantee that they won't notice, and you might even end up being killed..."

"Don't worry, Old Age."

"I'm not a greedy person, and I guarantee I won't attract the attention of those guys at the Dragon Arena...!"

Faced with Gu Canyang's reminder, Lu Feng patted his chest and assured him, seemingly having planned for this long ago, rather than acting on a whim.

...

Before long, Lu Feng also went deeper into the inner city and came to a huge arena covering thousands of acres.

The entire arena soared into the clouds, with a unique shape, resembling a giant black dragon coiled on the ground. There were dozens of entrances, and a large number of people were coming and going. It was none other than the famous Dragon Arena, the number one force in Jinling City!

"As expected of the number one power in Jinling City, the Dragon Arena is indeed incredibly wealthy and powerful..."

After surveying the Dragon Arena not far away, Lu Feng couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the people at the Dragon Arena dare to launch a money-making scheme like 'Dragon Head Lottery,' and aren't afraid of the five major families vying for this lucrative prize..."

After all, building such a massive arena covering thousands of acres would require a considerable amount of elemental stones!

Moreover, the Dragon Arena is located in the inner city of Jinling City, where land is incredibly valuable. Even if an ordinary Yuanhai Realm martial artist empties their entire fortune, they might not be able to buy a latrine here!

This shows that the Dragon Arena's resources are far greater than those of the five major families in Jinling City!

"Let's go check out the latest Dragon Head Lottery draw first...!"

Composing himself, Lu Feng walked towards one of the arena entrances, making several turns along the way, and finally arrived at a counter window in the arena hall.

Across the window sat an old man in black robes, who appeared to be one of the many managers under the Dragon Arena. Moreover, his cultivation was not weak, having reached the seventh level of the Yuanhai Realm!

"Hello, fellow Daoist."

Lu Feng bowed slightly to the old man in black robes opposite the window, still maintaining a humble expression.

"Is this aura from someone at the sixth level of the Yuanhai Realm?"

Sensing the considerable Yuan Qi aura emanating from Lu Feng, the black-robed elder quickly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across them. "What an impressive young man! And his appearance is completely unfamiliar..."

"Could this young man be a prodigy from some powerful clan outside of Jinling City?!"

After a brief look at Lu Feng, the old man in black robes couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

After all, the other party was too young, and looked to be only in his early twenties, yet his cultivation had already reached the sixth level of the Yuanhai Realm, only slightly weaker than him. The black-robed elder was naturally shocked.

It should be noted that even though he had cultivated for most of his life and spent almost a hundred years, he only managed to break through to the seventh level of the Yuanhai Realm. He was no match for Lu Feng in front of him. The two were worlds apart!

"Um, young hero, are you here to register for the arena battle, or to accept an arena quest?"

Forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, the old man in black robes did not dare to act arrogantly in front of Lu Feng, and immediately asked in a low voice.

"No, actually I'm here to buy the Dragon Head lottery ticket."

Shaking his head slightly, Lu Feng continued unhurriedly, "May I ask if you know where I can purchase the highest-level Golden Dragon Head Rainbow in the Dragon Arena?"
