Best Ascension

Chapter 187 Gambling
Overjoyed, Meng Quyi graciously took Zhao Sheng to go through the formalities of joining the alliance and choose a cave for cultivation.

Two hours later, the formalities were completed, and Zhao Sheng quickly chose the cave.

In view of keeping a low profile and safety principles, Zhao Sheng deliberately chose a remote cave on the edge of Chunqiu Island.

Although the concentration of aura here is relatively low, Zhao Sheng is very satisfied with this because the cave is opened on the cliff and the sea is below.

After bidding farewell to Meng Quyi, Zhao Sheng quickly rushed to the cliff cave, opened the stone gate with a prohibition token, and walked in.

The scale of this cave is not small, the space is spacious, there are more than a dozen stone rooms, decorative furniture, etc., and the concentration of aura inside is quite deep, which is roughly equivalent to a first-order spirit vein and aura, which is very suitable for cultivation.

After Zhao Sheng took a rough look at the cave, he walked into the training room.The training room is not big, only five or six feet in size, and the furnishings are quite simple, except for a white jade bed and an apricot yellow futon, there is nothing else.

Zhao Sheng was quite satisfied with the layout inside. After checking the four stone walls and stone gates briefly, and after confirming that there were no surveillance restrictions, he felt relieved and sat cross-legged on the futon.

With a flick of Zhao Sheng's sleeve, an enchantment talisman shot out quickly, and the board was firmly attached to the door of the stone room. The white brilliance spread in all directions, forming a pale white light curtain, covering the entire cultivation building. The room is completely isolated from the outside world.

After doing this, Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment, turned over with one hand, and took out a dark black shield from the storage bag.

Zhao Sheng tossed it lightly, and the Haiyuan Shield flew into the air in a whirl, and then his eyes lit up, and he pinched the magic seal with both hands, and a spirit seal of spiritual consciousness suddenly shot out from his hand, and sank into the shield.

……

three days later

In the training room, Zhao Sheng's face was solemn, and one after another divine consciousness and spiritual prohibition kept sinking into the sea abyss shield.

With the continuous penetration of refining spirit seals, the Sea Abyss Shield was glowing with a black light, and the sound of sea tides could be faintly heard in the training room.

At this moment, the Sea Abyss Shield was suspended in mid-air, and countless spiritual prohibition runes appeared on the surface from time to time.The runes interlinked and criss-crossed each other, and they were clearly condensed into a series of defensive spiritual prohibitions. At a glance, there were more than 20 lines.

At this moment, the divine light in Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered, the spell in his hand stopped suddenly, and at the same time he opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of blood, which instantly turned into a layer of blood mist, driven by his spiritual sense, one after another sank into the Haiyuan Shield , disappeared in a flash.

In the next second, the Sea Abyss Shield's brilliance flourished, making a clear sound of the tide, and the lights and shadows of the shields gradually emerged in the training room, swirling around the Spirit Shield.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed joy.

"Cohesion!"

With a low shout, the Foundation Establishment Realm consciousness burst out in a flash,

Seeing that the phantom of the shield in the air was shining brightly, it immediately threw itself into the body of the Haiyuan shield like a tired bird returning to the forest.

In an instant, a large black light exploded on the Haiyuan Shield, and more than twenty spirits suddenly emerged, and then submerged into the Haiyuan Shield in an instant.

The next second, with a thought in Zhao Sheng's mind, Haiyuan Shield suddenly shrank to the size of a palm, turned into a black light, flew in front of him, and quickly circled around his body as his mind changed.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and made a move, and Haiyuan Shield flew down with a "whoosh" and landed in his palm.

"Okay. Finally, the sacrifice of the three spiritual artifacts has been completed. The previous owner of Beifu is a good person! All the treasures left behind are high-quality goods." Zhao Sheng put away the Haiyuan Shield, and he couldn't help sighing. .

After sacrificing the spirit weapon, Zhao Sheng stood up immediately and walked out of the secret room slowly.

As soon as he went out, he found a messenger crane flying around in the cave mansion with its head covered and its head turned.

Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand and made a move, Fu He flapped his wings, flew over quickly, and landed in his hands.

Opening the Fuhe, Zhao Sheng frowned and then loosened his brows, muttering to himself: "The lord is back and wants to call the elders of Ke Qing for a meeting? Is it just for me, or is there something really going on? Interesting!"

Zhao Sheng washed and dressed, changed into a set of plain brocade robes, and then took a short rest.

Half a day later, when Zhao Sheng walked out of the cave, a white light suddenly shot out from his sleeve. The white light circled around his body, and his whole body instantly turned into a rainbow of platinum swords, galloping towards the Spring and Autumn Hall.

After a while, the sword rainbow fell on the square in front of the hall. Zhao Sheng dispersed the sword light, took back the flying sword, and walked into the magnificent and magnificent Spring and Autumn Hall.

The whole hall is extremely tall and spacious, with an area of ​​more than two hundred feet and a height of nearly twenty feet. Inside, there are a total of eighteen thick coiled dragon gold pillars supporting the hall. On the top of the hall are inlaid more than a hundred fist-sized Yaolings. Beads illuminate the hall as bright as day.

In the middle of the main hall are two rows of white jade tables and chairs. At this moment, there are seventeen or eight immortal cultivators with extraordinary bearing and different expressions, sitting in twos and threes on the jade chairs.

Some of them bowed their heads and talked softly, and some of them closed their eyes and meditated on their own, and Meng Quyi was among them, talking happily with the people around him.

At this moment, on the three big green jade chairs in the center of the hall, sat two old men with unfathomable aura, one of whom Zhao Sheng had seen was the real Qi Feng, and the other had an ancient face and a tall and mighty figure , his eyes were fiery red, and his pupils seemed to be burning with two flames.

As soon as Zhao Shengfang stepped into the main hall, he attracted some elders from the main hall to look over.

Seeing Zhao Sheng approaching, Meng Quyi immediately stood up with a smile on his face, walked forward quickly, and laughed loudly: "Haha, brother Zhao, you can count yourself here. Come, come, let me introduce you to my colleagues. "

"This is the Supreme Elder Chi Yuan of the alliance."

"Junior Zhao Chonghe, I have met the real Chi Yuan!"

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately bowed his hands to the ancient-looking real Chi Yuan.

"Forget it! Old Daoist Qi, you are lucky. You have found all the young Foundation Establishment juniors. But, since they have all joined the alliance, why are you still acting so secretive?" Daoist Chiyuan's voice was like a bell, Said lukewarmly.

Seeing this, the old Taoist Qifeng laughed and sneered: "Haha, Yuan Datou, you can go envious! Zhao Xiaoyou has agreed to join the Foreign Affairs Hall. In addition, you are too lenient. That is his privacy. Shall I report to you?"

"Hmph!" Master Chi Yuan glared at his old enemy.

Seeing this situation, Meng Quyi hurriedly dragged Zhao Sheng down, and introduced other people to him.
"This is Lu Xia, Fellow Daoist Lu, who is now the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall." Meng Quyi first pointed to a handsome middle-aged Confucian scholar.

"I'm Zhao Chonghe, I have met Master Lu."

"It turned out to be Daoyou Zhao. A few days ago, I heard that a young handsome man came to the hall. I saw you today, and it really is! We need to get closer in the future. After this matter, Lu must go to visit Daoyou Zhao's cave for a while. When the middle-aged Confucian scholar saw Zhao Sheng, his eyes lit up, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands at Zhao Sheng, saying loudly.

"Hallmaster Lu is polite, it should be Zhao who came to visit." Zhao Sheng hurriedly replied politely.

After exchanging pleasantries with him, Meng Quyi took Zhao Sheng to introduce others.

"This is Fellow Daoist Lu..."

"Ludo is friendly!..."

....
"This is Senior Zhuge Zhen..."

"Senior Zhuge is polite"

……

After half a circle of introductions, half an hour had passed, and at this time the sapphire chairs in the main hall were already full of people.

Zhao Sheng was the latest to join the alliance, so he found the jade chair at the end and sat down.

At this time, someone next to him cupped his hands and said: "Zhao Daoyou, you look very young, you should have established the foundation very early, right?"

Zhao Sheng turned his head to look, but he saw that the person who spoke was fair and handsome, only in his twenties, dressed in brocade orchid robes, and looked suave, like a good man in troubled times.

"It turned out to be fellow Taoist Chen Guanxi. I just look tender, but he is actually quite old." Zhao Sheng said half-truthfully to avoid trouble.

After the man smiled slightly, he just wanted to speak a few more words.

There was a sound of flapping wings coming from the entrance of the main hall.

Chen Guanxi's face was serious, and he turned to look at the door, and other people in the hall also acted in the same way.

The next second, two people walked in from the entrance of the main hall, one of them was a tall crowned old man with a kind face, about six feet tall, and dressed in a jade-colored brocade robe, and the other was a high-spirited, face like a crown jade, hair on the temples The red young man.

"Alliance!"

"Hello, ally!"

As soon as the old man appeared, everyone in the hall stood up to say hello, most of them looked respectfully.

The old man is obviously the leader of the Spring and Autumn League, the boss of the late Jindan stage, and the real person in the sky.

"Leader, this is the special envoy! Sure enough, the jade tree is facing the wind, and the demeanor is extraordinary!"

Qi Feng and Chi Yuan, who were sitting at the top, stood up at the same time and greeted them.

"Gu Yanqiu, I've seen the two seniors!" The young master smiled slightly, and seemingly casually bowed his hands to the two Jindan real people.

Zhao Sheng looked at this "special envoy" silently. Judging from his name, he was obviously a member of the Guyan family of Suzaku Island.

Judging from the aura emanating from his body, this person is also a foundation cultivator, and he may be a few years younger than him.

As soon as Gu Yanqiu took his seat, an elder Ke Qing stepped forward to introduce himself, most of the words were respectful to the special envoy.

Gu Yanqiu looked polite and treated people very kindly, but Zhao Sheng could see a hint of contempt in the depths of his eyes from time to time.

After a while, everyone finished their introductions, because Zhao Sheng was very young and was the last one, which made Gu Yanqiu's impression of him inevitably deeper.

After this incident, Changkong Daoist's face changed completely, and without saying a word, he instantly controlled the atmosphere of the hall.

"Today, I called everyone here to discuss the conflict between the League and the Xuanxiao Sect. What do you guys think about the Qixingjiao spiritual vein?"

At this time, Chen Guanxi explained to Zhao Sheng in a low voice:
"Zhao Daoyou, I don't know that you came late. Our Spring and Autumn League has frequently clashed with the Xuanxiao Sect over the Qixingjiao's spiritual veins. I'm afraid this time there will be a big fight. Hehe, Zhao Daoyou, your luck is too bad! "

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly when he heard the words, and there was no abnormality on his face.He didn't think he was unlucky, but thought it was an opportunity.

The Spring and Autumn League is the overlord of Jiuzhen Island.He wants to learn the truly advanced alchemy technique, and with the help of the Spring and Autumn League, he can achieve his goals faster and better, and the premise of all this is to make enough contributions to the Spring and Autumn League.

Zhao Sheng silently watched the other people express their opinions impassionedly, and he found that most of them supported a head-to-head fight with Xuan Xiaojiao.

Looking at the appearances of the first three Jindan real people, Zhao Sheng vaguely realized that all of this was done for Gu Yanqiu to see.

After everyone expressed their attitude, Gu Yanqiu smiled with emotion: "Before I came, my family said that the Spring and Autumn League was a mess. But judging from today, this statement is absurd. Your League is very united! Senior Changkong, You have made up your mind, do you really want to have a fight with Xuan Xiaojiao?"

Qi Feng and Chi Yuan's eyes flickered when they heard the words, and after looking at each other, their eyes turned to the leader.

At this time, Changkong Daoist smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Special envoy, it's not that the Spring and Autumn League insists on fighting with Xuanxiao Sect, but that it deceives people too much. Broken Star Sea has already had a fair opinion on the ownership of Qixing Reef! But Xuanxiao Sect has not Strong words and unreasonable words, insist on occupying Qixing Reef. The Spring and Autumn League cannot retreat, nor can it retreat! Otherwise, it will not make the comrades ridicule!"

Gu Yanqiu took a deep breath and said, "Peace is the most important thing in everything! Guimeng and Xuanxiao Sect are old friends of Suzaku Island. You both should take a step back. I am willing to be a peacemaker and go talk to Xuanxiao Sect Hey, Senior Changkong, what do you think?"

As soon as the words fell, the old Taoist Qifeng said loudly: "The special envoy doesn't know, Qixing Reef has been within the sphere of influence of our Spring and Autumn League since it was discovered in 200 years. Originally, there was only one first-order spiritual vein here, and there was not much development. potential.

But recently, someone unintentionally connected a larger second-order spiritual vein to the end of the Seven Star Reef spiritual vein.Xuan Xiaojiao was greedy for this second-order spiritual vein, and claimed that the spiritual vein was not within the range of Qixing Reef, and belonged to an unowned spiritual vein.

What's even more shameful is that they actually said that the second-order spirit veins were discovered by them a long time ago, and should belong to the Xuanxiao sect.This is really preposterous, which is tolerable or unbearable! "

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the anger of everyone present.

After Qi Feng finished speaking, he looked straight at Gu Yanqiu, and forced to ask: "Special Envoy, do you think Xuan Xiao's teaching is right?"

Gu Yanqiu looked at the burning-eyed real Qi Feng, suppressed the smile on his face, and said slowly: "In this case, let's follow the old rules! You two have a game of gambling. As for the way of gambling, we will You and the Zixiao Sect will each send out three Foundation Establishment cultivators to fight to the death, and the winner will get the ownership of Seven Star Reef."

When Qi Feng and Chi Yuan heard this, their faces showed dissatisfaction, and they were stunned.

Old Daoist Qifeng was about to argue, but Daoist Changkong waved his hand and said sternly: "It's okay to gamble, but the Xuanxiao Sect also has to take something of the same value as a bet."

"Okay, I'll persuade Xuan Xiaojiao to agree to it, so... this gambling fight will be held in half a year, how about it?"

"can!"

"Leader, don't do it!" Master Chi Yuan blurted out impatiently upon hearing the words.

Master Changkong waved his hand, and said indisputably, "There is no need to persuade, just use gambling to settle the ownership."

At this point, the expressions of the other people below are mostly cloudy and uncertain, and they don't know what they are thinking.
