Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 208 Playing the long game to catch the big fish

Looking at the stone selected by Song Changsheng, Chen Menglong's eyes flashed with disdain: "You are really getting better and better as you live. I advise you to hand over the Jade Exquisite Tower directly to avoid wasting time."

Chen Menglong was very confident at the moment. The person he found had a special stone gambling technique. So far, there was no precedent for him returning empty-handed.

The opponent he faced was a well-known loser. He had never made any money since he started gambling on the black market. No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible to lose.

What's more, the stones I selected this time were all the most expensive ones. The three of them spent nearly 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones. On the other hand, the other party only spent 40,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

The quality of the stones on both sides is not on the same level.

"Stop talking nonsense, you should think about how to satisfy this girl's conditions." The woman responded tit-for-tat, and her momentum was not inferior at all.

But the clenched palms behind her revealed her inner anxiety.

Yes, anyway, it was Song Changsheng who said he could see through stones. She didn't know if it was true or not. She just hoped that her trust had not been given to the wrong person.

Compared to her anxiety, Song Changsheng seemed calm and composed. Just now, he had already seen the other party's three stones.

That man did have some skills. The stones he selected contained treasures and exuded a strong spiritual light. They were worth a lot of money at a glance.

However, compared to what he chose, it was still far behind. If nothing else happened, this round was a sure win.

After thinking about it, he suddenly felt a sense of evil in his heart, and first handed the random stone to the cutter.

Under the skillful cutting techniques of the cutter, the object wrapped in the stone was quickly revealed. It was a piece of second-grade top grade [Qingming Steel], about the size of a fist.

The cutter only quoted a price of 6,000 yuan. After all, [Qingming Steel] is one of the most common second-level spiritual materials, and its value is not high. It is considered a small loss.

Seeing this, Chen Menglong almost laughed out loud, shook his head and said jokingly: "As expected of you, your performance is stable as always."

The woman clenched her teeth, feeling a little more pressure in her heart, but she still refused to admit defeat and said: "Don't be too happy too early, maybe yours is not as good as this girl's!"

"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed." The short man next to Chen Menglong said in a hoarse tone.

As he finished speaking, the first stone he chose was also cut. It was also an ore, but his was a third-grade low-grade [Mi Lei Stone].

Although it was only as big as a little finger, it was worth twenty-five thousand low-grade spiritual stones. It was also a loss, but its value was much higher than Song Changsheng's.

"Hahaha, I will definitely win today!"

"Hmph, don't be complacent, there are still two chances." The woman gritted her teeth and responded, but in fact she no longer had any hope in her heart.

However, she didn't feel any regrets. She actually knew very well what her level was. The stone Song Changsheng chose was less than ten thousand spiritual stones, and it was already very good if it could produce six thousand.

Soon, the cutting of the second stone began.

These were carefully selected by Song Changsheng, and he had some expectations in his heart. After all, after winning, these things would all be his.

The stone quickly became smaller, and soon it was only the size of a football. At this time, the surface of the leather shell suddenly cracked with spiderweb-like cracks, blooming with green fluorescence.

The cutter suddenly let out an exclamation, and even the movements in his hands stopped.

The spectators who gathered around because of the bet between the two parties also exclaimed.

"The aura has leaked, dear, I haven't seen it for at least half a year. What kind of treasure is this?" Someone exclaimed, with eyes full of envy.

"The last treasure that had a spiritual light leaked was the [Essence of Lihuo], worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones. Oh, what a piece of shit luck. Why can't such a good thing happen to me?" Some people even beat their chests and lamented. Why am I not the lucky one?

The woman's originally silent heart suddenly became hot again. If this was the case, there might not be a chance of winning today.

The cutter's hands became softer and gentler, and soon the treasure inside revealed its true face, and the eyes of everyone present were immediately attracted to it.

Chen Menglong was so nervous that his palms began to sweat. He thought he had a chance to win this time, but he didn't expect such a change.

At this moment, what appeared in the hands of the cutter was a spiritual plant that was more than three inches tall and completely red.

It has a total of three leaves, one inch each, about the size of a baby's palm, oval in shape, with jagged edges. The veins present a strange and shining pattern, like a soaring phoenix, exuding a burning breath.

"This is... [Phoenix Blood Grass]?"

someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"[Phoenix Blood Grass]? The [Phoenix Blood Grass] that has been extinct in the outside world for thousands of years?"

"Great, with this thing, I will definitely win this time!" The woman immediately jumped for joy. [Phoenix Blood Grass] has been extinct in the outside world for thousands of years. Currently, only the forces above the Golden Core can possess it.

The value will not be less than 100,000 spiritual stones!

For a moment, Siying looked at Song Changsheng with eyes full of envy, jealousy and hatred. It would be great if she could also have the ability to see through stones.

But the focus of the person involved, Song Changsheng, was very different from the others. He rubbed his chin and said doubtfully: "[Phoenix Blood Grass] is an excellent spiritual plant for cultivating the body of monks below the Zifu stage.

But after leaving the soil, it requires a lot of spiritual energy to maintain its own activity. How does it maintain its activity in this stone?

This ancient battlefield is really curious. "

"Twenty thousand low-grade spiritual stones." The cutter quoted a shocking price. If nothing else happens, there is almost no suspense about the outcome of this competition.

Chen Menglong stumbled. If the short man beside him hadn't supported him, he almost fell to the ground and exclaimed: "This... this is impossible."

He only opened a piece of [Purple caltrop sand] this round, which was worth thirty thousand spiritual stones, but it was far inferior to [Phoenix Blood Grass].

"Nothing is impossible. There is just the last piece left. Let's open it together." Song Changsheng said calmly.

He was not surprised by this result. This was the one with the most radiant aura among all the gambling stones on the second floor. If this could not make the final decision, then all this speculation would be in vain.

The cutter had also seen strong winds and waves, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and started cutting the last gambling stone.

This time, a third-level low-grade spiritual plant [Bleeding Orchid] was opened.

Although it is at the same level as [Phoenix Blood Grass], the value between the two is quite different. It is only worth 60,000 spirit stones, but it is not bad.

After all, most of the gamblers present may not be able to get a treasure of equal value even if they lose everything.

On the other side, the already frustrated Chen Menglong also cut the last stone, which was a second-level top-grade [Iris Spirit Flower] worth more than 30,000 spirit stones.

Judging from the results, there is no doubt that Chen Menglong suffered a disastrous defeat and there is no comparison at all.

"Chen, you lost!" Siying finally let go of her hanging heart and declared her defeat to Chen Menglong with her hands on her hips.

"Hmph, it's just good luck. Let's go!" Chen Menglong glared at Siying fiercely, then turned and left. He lost at the opponent's hands for the second time. He had no shame in staying any longer.

After they left, Siying took the three treasures and handed them to Song Changsheng's hand, patted his shoulder, and said happily: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have let that annoying guy If you succeed, tell me, whatever else you want, as long as this girl can do it, I can satisfy you."

Song Changsheng weighed the storage bag in his hand and refused with a smile: "These alone are already worth a lot of money. I am already very satisfied. Wouldn't it be overreaching to ask for benefits from fellow Taoists?"

Of course this is not the truth. This woman is clearly from a powerful family. Just showing something casually from under her fingernails is enough to make his mouth water. It would be a lie to say that he is not impressed.

But this is just a small profit. What Song Changsheng wants is to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish.

He revealed his trump card to intervene in the battle between the two forces. Is it really just because he dislikes Chen Menglong?

Don't be stupid, he is not a child. He only acts based on his own personal likes and dislikes. He does this for nothing more than two words - profit.

Befriending a disciple who came from a big power would bring no harm to him, just like saving Xia Qingxue.

As for offending Mr. Chen, he said from the beginning to the end that the other party didn't even know that he had chosen these stones. He couldn't possibly take his anger out on himself, right?

Besides, he has never revealed his identity, so the risk is completely negligible.

As soon as these words came out, the woman's favorable impression of Song Changsheng skyrocketed. She took out a silver plaque and handed it to Song Changsheng, and said carelessly: "You have saved my face for me. Naturally, I can't be stingy anymore. This It is the silver VIP badge of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce.

As long as it is a property belonging to the Bandung Chamber of Commerce, you can enjoy a 30% discount with this brand. If you need it in the future, go to the person in charge of the property affiliated to the Bandung Chamber of Commerce and tell me my name, that’s all! "

"Bandung Chamber of Commerce?" Song Changsheng was startled. He had thought that the other party's identity was unusual, but when he heard the name, he was still a little surprised.

The Bandung Chamber of Commerce is a large chamber of commerce that spans several cultivation worlds such as the Yu Kingdom Cultivation World, the Gusu Kingdom Cultivation World, and the Daqi Cultivation World. Its power is even greater than that of the Golden Crow Sect.

"Yes, this girl Peng Siying, the current president of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce is my father." Peng Siying said proudly.

"It turned out to be the young master of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce in person..." Song Changsheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Although the Bandung Chamber of Commerce belongs to the United Chamber of Commerce, it has been controlled by the Peng family for many years and has almost become the sole voice of the Peng family.

As far as he knew, the current president of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce only had one daughter. If the other party didn't brag, it would be Peng Siying.

In this way, if nothing else happens, Peng Siying will almost be the unofficial next president.

But who would have thought that the dignified next president of the Bandung Chamber of Commerce would actually be a gambler, and he would lose nine times out of ten!

No one would believe this, right?

Holding the VIP card in his hand, Song Changsheng still felt a little unreal in his heart...

"Silver VIP card... Who is this guy?" A tall man in black robe said in a hoarse voice.

"What is a silver VIP badge?" Someone wondered.

The person who spoke just now explained immediately: "In order to make good friends with local forces and casual cultivators, the Bandung Chamber of Commerce will give each other VIP badges based on their strength or identity.

VIP waist badges are divided into five levels, namely iron, copper, silver, gold and jade.

Each level represents a different identity and status. Silver waistbands are generally only given to monks from the Zifu. The Bandung Chamber of Commerce has only given out a few dozen yuan in recent years.

Anyone who holds this badge can not only enjoy a 30% discount, but also receive corresponding levels of help from the Bandung Chamber of Commerce. "

"This person is just a foundation-building monk. Why can he get a silver waist medal?"

"So I say his identity is definitely unusual." The hoarse voice sounded again.

For a moment, everyone looked at Song Changsheng in awe.

Hearing the comments around her, Peng Siying blinked. She couldn't say that she only had this belt, could she?

"This fellow Taoist, is he interested in selling the [Phoenix Blood Grass] in his hands?"

Just when everyone was guessing who Song Changsheng was, a man in black robe came up to Song Changsheng and rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Oops, let that guy get the first step."

"This fellow Taoist, please give me 130,000 spiritual stones."

"I will give you 150,000 spiritual stones..."

Suddenly, a familiar scene reappeared. More than a dozen men in black robes surrounded Song Changsheng, all coming for the [Phoenix Blood Grass] in his hand.

Prices are also skyrocketing.

But despite his heartbeat, Song Changsheng still shook his head and rejected the deal.

An ordinary third-level low-grade spiritual plant is worth about ten or twenty thousand spiritual stones.

The value of [Phoenix Blood Grass] is so high, so there is a reason for it.

First of all, it reproduces very quickly. It only needs enough aura to grow into one piece quickly.

Its effect is very simple, but very powerful. As long as it is refined into a pill and taken, it can subtly enhance the physical strength of the monks.

Of course, it is only effective for monks below the Zifu stage, and one person can only take it once.

For Song Changsheng, this object has little effect on him due to his training in the "Five Beasts Body Forging Technique", but for other members of the Song family, the importance of this object is self-evident.

After dispersing the crowd of onlookers, Song Changsheng finally planned to end his trip to the black market.

Although using his ability to gamble on stones is a cheating artifact, there are some things that can only be done one at a time. Today's harvest is already big enough. If he continues like this, the black market may not be able to sit still anymore, so he should retreat in time. That's great.

When the limelight has passed in the future, you can come and enjoy the autumn breeze.

When he was going downstairs, he suddenly remembered something. He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Peng, could you please pay attention to the news about dragon scales?"

"What do you want that thing for? Okay, give me a day to help you ask." Peng Siying agreed readily.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist." A smile appeared on Song Changsheng's face. Isn't this the reward?

Just as the two were about to step out of the attic, a man in black robes stood in front of them.

"This fellow Taoist is invited by the Pavilion Master."
