Seeing Li Batian's pretending to be serious, Chen Shuo couldn't help but want to laugh. After finally suppressing his laughter, Chen Shuo cooperated and said: "Hey, Li Ben has a lively and cheerful personality, which is really enviable.
ah."
"Okay, you guys should stop being humble to each other. Chen Shaoxia, please sit down." Seeing the old lady speak, Chen Shuo stopped talking and sat aside respectfully.
"I heard that there was a gambling match between you and that thunderbolt player Wu Kun at the Death Fight Arena. Is this relevant?" Seeing Chen Shuo sit down, Li Batian couldn't wait to ask with concern.
When he got down to business, Chen Shuo's face became serious, "Yes, Wu Kun was instigated by Qian Duoduo to trouble me, and when I came out of Zijin City, I just wanted to use him to establish his authority."
"It seems that little brother is fully confident." Thinking of Chen Shuo's mysterious burst of strength, Li Batian felt a little relieved.
"You're absolutely sure!" Chen Shuo said decisively.
"Well, Chen Shaoxia is so determined, and the Qian family has gone too far to bully others, so I will accompany the young man to make this bet." What the old lady said, who had been silent all this time, shocked both of them.
"How do you want to bet, mother?" Li Batian asked in surprise.
"Batian, go and count all the funds of my Li family. In this gambling game, the Qian family will definitely place an outside bet. We will dig out a piece of his flesh here." The old lady's words made the two of them angry.
They are all a bit passionate.
"Yes, I'll go prepare it right away." After saying that, Li Batian hurriedly went to count the money.
Chen Shuo and Old Taijun were the only two people left in the room. The old man looked at Chen Shuo's face carefully, which made the young man feel uncomfortable for a while.
"Xiao Chen, that's what I'll call you from now on. Do you need anything else? Just tell me and I, the Li family, will help you solve it." The old man, who had been looking at Chen Shuo for a long time and almost sweating, finally spoke.
"Ahem, I need some spiritual medicine to practice, I don't know..."
"Okay, the elixir will be delivered to your room later. In the past few days, you can practice with peace of mind and prepare for the duel the day after tomorrow." Before Chen Shuo could finish speaking, the old man agreed without hesitation.
"Ling'er is a good girl, don't betray others. Otherwise I will never let you go! Okay, I'm tired, you can go back." After saying that, the old man entered the inner room on crutches.
Seeing the old man disappearing from the inner room, Chen Shuo came to his senses. Was this considered a lifetime commitment?
With a touch of joy, Chen Shuo returned to his room and found that the table was full of elixirs.
He walked quickly to the table and looked at the elixir in front of him.
"This is... 11 low-grade desolate-level ivy fruits, 7 flame spirit grasses, 5 desolate-level middle-grade purple mysterious fruits, and 2 desolate-level high-grade ice pills. It seems that the old lady is very generous.
"
After sighing with emotion, Chen Shuo picked up an ivy fruit and sat cross-legged on the bed to practice.
When I activated the Soul Devouring Heart Meridian, I felt a stream of pure spiritual energy being absorbed from the Ivy Fruit into my body, and then transformed into the force of the exercise and inhaled into my Dantian. The Ivy Fruit also shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One day later, I watched the last Zi Xuan Fruit being absorbed. I felt the cyclone in my body and found that it had reached the advanced level of Qi gathering. "It is indeed the top skill in ancient times. This cultivation speed is so fast."
!" After sighing for a moment, Chen Shuo forgot to look at the two remaining Ice Pills. After swallowing them in one breath, Chen Shuo began to practice hard again.
"Goal: Beginner Level of Qi Nourishing!"
As soon as the Ice Pill entered his stomach, he felt a cold spiritual power spreading to his limbs and bones. The temperature in the room also dropped rapidly. Chen Shuo was so cold that he couldn't help but shiver. He endured this bone-breaking feeling.
The coldness forced him to run the Soul Devouring Heart Sutra, dividing and swallowing up the cold spiritual power one by one, and slowly growing the cyclone in his body.
The next day, as the temperature in the room completely returned to normal, Chen Shuo also opened his closed eyes, and a light flashed through his eyes. Feeling the full feeling in his body, Chen Shuo slowly clenched his fists.
Is it the power of the Qi nourishing period?
"Wu Kun, I want your head!" Chen Shuo murmured to himself, looking in the direction of the death fighting platform with a cold face!
Closing his eyes again, he became familiar with the power in his body, and the fluctuations of spiritual power rippled in the room again.
When the three suns in the sky were high in the sky, the usually deserted Death Arena gradually became lively. Because today, a boy who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth actually wanted to challenge the thunderbolt player Wu Kun, and countless people filled the seats of the Death Arena.
.
"Choose Wu Kun to win 10 and go with 1, buy Chen Shuo to win 1 and go with 10. The more you buy, the more you get, the opportunity is rare! The Qian family is open, and their reputation is guaranteed!"
"Whoever buys me 300 gold coins will win over Wu Kun!"
"I'll give Wu Kun 2,000 gold coins."
"Don't be crowded, don't panic, everyone has a share..."
"Press 5 million gold coins!" A voice swept away the surrounding noise, and then an even more heated discussion broke out.
"This is the butler of the Li family, I know him!"
"It turns out they are from the Li family, no wonder they are so wealthy!"
Hearing this huge number, the staff member was also stunned, and then said: "Hey, Wu Kun is worth 5 million gold coins, right? I will issue you a receipt right now."
"Who said I beat Wu Kun? I beat Chen Shuo!"
The words of the housekeeper of the Li family stunned everyone watching the excitement.
"What's the situation? Are the Li family crazy? Isn't this just a pretense of giving money to the banker?"
"The Li family and the Qian family have always been enemies. I'm not completely sure. How could the Li family suppress so much money? I think there is a mystery to this matter."
"..."
But the Li family housekeeper didn't care about the discussions of the people around him. After taking the receipt, he turned around and left, leaving people behind to discuss even more intensely.
"I'll give Chen Shuo 100 gold coins." Finally someone ate the crab and followed the Li family to beat Chen Shuo.
"Are you crazy?" "Try it! If Chen Shuo really wins, I will earn 900 gold coins soon!"
"Then I'll give Chen Shuo 500 gold coins!"
As more and more people pressured Chen Shuo, the Qian family had no choice but to lower the odds lower and lower, finally down to 1 and 2 and stabilized. The actions of the Qian family also made more people feel like they had seen a fishy cat.
, with a sense of luck, they all put their money on Chen Shuo.
Qian's house, in the main hall.
"Duoduo, is it true that Chen Shuo only has the strength of the Qi gathering period?" A fat man sitting in the main seat asked Qian Duoduo, who turned his head sideways. This fat man is Qian Donglai, the head of the Qian family, the only one in Zijin City.
The richest man in the royal family.
"Dad, don't worry. That kid is a mid-level Qi gatherer. The thunderbolt hand Wu Kun is the first person below Condensation Pill. It's not easy to deal with him. Those fools have so much pressure on Chen Shuo.
In the end, the money is not ours. And that untouchable will be cast aside by thousands of disappointed people." Although Qian Duoduo felt something was wrong, he still said forcefully.
"I hope so! The gambling fight should start soon. Let's go and have a look." As he spoke, Qian Donglai, with the support of the beautiful maid waiting at the side, walked towards the door step by step, his whole body of fat trembling.
