Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

The sky is cloudless.

Here, after Jiang Qiong rescued the monks from the An and Zhao families, he rushed to the neighboring dynasty without stopping.

Along the way, thanks to his high level of cultivation, Jiang Qiong did not encounter any abnormalities.

Finally, we arrived at Lianyun County City safely.

As the connecting hub between the Taling Desert and the neighboring dynasty, the county town is quite prosperous. It is located on a vast desert plain, with towering and magnificent city walls. The sunlight shines on the city walls, reflecting golden light.

The city gate was bustling with people coming and going. The cries of vendors, the rumble of horse-drawn carriages, and the conversations of pedestrians were intertwined into one, and the prosperous and lively scene was dazzling.

Jiang Qiong slowly entered the city, and the surrounding scenery immediately came into view.

The streets are spacious and clean, with shops on both sides, and signs of various kinds of goods. The stalls on the street are filled with all kinds of goods, including rare treasures from the Talling Desert and exquisite artifacts from the neighboring dynasty.

Walking along the main street, you can see monks wearing different costumes from time to time. They may be in groups of three or five, or alone, with anxious or indifferent expressions on their faces.

Judging from their clothing, most of these monks were dynasty monks who came to support the Taling Desert.

Holding a jade map slip.

Jiang Qiong walked along the street to Lingzhou Mountain. There were tall statues here, all of which were lifelike. They held spears in their hands with firm eyes, as if they were looking into the distance and guarding this land.

The road along the mountain is filled with various stalls, some selling medicinal herbs, some selling ritual instruments, and some snack stalls. The aroma is so fragrant that it makes people salivate.

Jiang Qiong ran straight to the management office on the mountainside without looking around, and came to a beautifully decorated stone house.

In front of the stone house, several monks were talking in low voices. When they saw Jiang Qiong approaching with a powerful aura, they all made way for him.

Jiang Qiong nodded, pushed open the wooden door of the stone house and walked in.

The layout of the stone house is elegant and luxurious, with soft animal skin carpets on the floor and exquisite murals on the walls, depicting the magnificent scenery of the Talling Desert and the neighboring dynasty.

The furnishings in the house are exquisite yet elegant. Several rows of bookshelves are filled with ancient books, and several carved wooden tables are placed with various jade slips and magical instruments.

People were coming and going inside. The monks were wearing various kinds of clothes. Some were talking in low voices, some were reading jade slips, and some were negotiating with the steward.

The whole room was filled with a busy and orderly atmosphere.

Jiang Qiong walked to a carved wooden table. The manager behind the table was a middle-aged monk, with a shrewd and capable look between his brows.

He looked up at Jiang Qiong, smiled slightly, and slowly asked, "Fellow Daoist, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Qiong took out a hundred spirit stones from his bosom, placed them on the table, and said, "I want to buy a spirit boat order to the next dynasty."

The steward nodded, waved his finger lightly, and the spirit stone on the table disappeared. Then he took out a spirit boat order that was shining with a faint light from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Qiong.

"Fellow Daoist, take this. This token can only be used once. With this token, you can take a spirit boat on the top of the Lingzhou Mountain to the next dynasty. Please keep it properly." The steward said politely.

Jiang Qiong took the Lingzhou Token and looked at it carefully, and found that the token was transparent and had complex spiritual patterns inside. It was obviously a carefully crafted mid-to-high-level magical weapon.

He nodded, put away the Lingzhou Order, thanked the steward, then turned and left the stone house.

After walking out of the stone house, Jiang Qiong continued to climb up along the mountain path.

The stalls on both sides of the mountain road were still bustling with activity, and the monks' cries of hawking could be heard one after another.

Jiang Qiong didn't stop and walked straight to the top of the mountain.

Not long after, he arrived at the top of Lingzhou Mountain.

There is a wide platform on the top of the mountain. Several huge spirit boats are moored at the edge of the platform. The spirit boats are glowing with a faint spiritual light, like giant whales floating in the air.

Jiang Qiong walked to a spirit boat and showed his spirit boat order.

The steward on the spirit boat checked it and after confirming that everything was correct, he signaled him to board the spirit boat.

The interior of Lingzhou is spacious and bright, with complete facilities.

Jiang Qiong found his private room and walked in. The scene before him startled him slightly.

The layout of the entire private room is exceptionally refined and comfortable. The floor is covered with a thick velvet carpet, which is soft and comfortable to step on, as if you are in the clouds.

There are several exquisite landscape paintings hanging on the walls. The mountains in the paintings are stacked and shrouded in clouds and mist, as if bringing people into a peaceful paradise.

In the center of the room stands a carved wooden table with a surface as smooth as a mirror and the wood grain clearly visible.

On the table stands an antique bronze incense burner with a stick of sandalwood burning in it. The faint fragrance fills the room, bringing peace of mind.

There is also a sandalwood chair next to the table, which is padded with soft silk cushions, making it particularly comfortable.

In a corner of the private room stood a desk, on which were neatly placed several ancient books and bamboo slips.

Next to the desk is a bookshelf filled with various classics and jade slips, which are obviously for the monks to read during their journey.

There is also a small spirit gathering array next to the bookshelf, which emits a soft light and overflows with pure spiritual energy.

On the other side of the room was a large bed covered with soft quilts and pillows.

Next to the bed is a window, through which you can see the scenery outside the spirit boat.

The city walls are towering, the streets are crisscrossed, the mountains in the distance are looming in the clouds, and the prosperous scene is in full view.

Jiang Qiong closed the window, walked to the desk, picked up an ancient book and started reading.

This ancient book records a lot of history and legends about the Taling Desert and the neighboring dynasty in great detail.

I flipped through it casually for a while.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Jiang Qiong's thoughts.

He put down the ancient book, walked to the door and opened it.

A maid from the spirit boat was standing outside the door, holding a tray with several plates of exquisite snacks and a pot of fragrant tea on it.

"My fellow Taoist, here are the snacks and fragrant tea prepared for you. Please enjoy them." The maid said with a smile.

The service of this Lingzhou is quite considerate.
As expected, I spent hundreds of spirit stones to ride on this spiritual boat. It is so comfortable.
Jiang Qiong nodded, took the tray, turned and walked into the private room.

After closing the door, Jiang Qiong put the tray on the table, picked up a piece of cake and put it into her mouth.

The pastries melt in your mouth and are sweet and delicious. Although the spiritual energy they contain is relatively poor, when paired with a cup of fragrant tea, a gentle sip of it will instantly fill the air with the fragrance of the tea, refreshing your heart.

“The pastry is a little bit off.”

"But it's better than nothing."

Jiang Qiong had very high requirements for taste. He ate two bites casually and then stopped tasting and silently flipped through the ancient books.

As a low horn sounded, the spirit boat slowly rose into the air, and suddenly a slight vibration was felt.

Immediately afterwards, the spirit boat gradually accelerated, passed through the clouds, and flew towards the neighboring dynasty.

Since the neighboring dynasty is quite far away from Lianyun County, it would take dozens or even hundreds of days to fly there by spirit boat alone.

So Jiang Qiong had nothing to do and was ready to have some fun in the Spirit Boat. He stood up, walked to the door, and prepared to go out for a walk.

After leaving the private room, Jiang Qiong walked slowly along the corridor of Lingzhou and soon found a servant in green.

Seeing Jiang Qiong coming, the attendant in blue smiled slightly and saluted respectfully.

"My friend, is there anything I can help you with?" the attendant asked politely.

Jiang Qiong asked, "Is there any place for entertainment on the Spirit Boat?"

Upon hearing this, the attendant smiled knowingly and slowly replied:
"To be honest, my friend, we have some gambling houses and some small arenas for sparring and fighting on this spiritual boat. If you don't mind, you can go over and take a look."

After hearing this, Jiang Qiong's eyes lit up and he became very interested in the gambling house. He immediately asked, "Which direction is the gambling house?"

"Please come with me."

The attendant made a gesture of invitation and led Jiang Qiong forward along the corridor.

Not long after, Jiang Qiong was brought to the central area of ​​the spirit boat by his servants.

The decoration here is even more luxurious, and the surrounding walls are inlaid with glittering spiritual stones, emitting a soft light.

The attendant pointed to a carved wooden door in front and said, "My friend, the gambling house is inside. I wish you a happy time."

Jiang Qiong nodded in thanks, pushed open the wooden door and walked in.

The scene inside the gambling house immediately came into view. The spacious hall was brightly lit, and various gorgeous decorations were hung on the walls.

There were several huge gambling tables in the center of the hall, filled with all kinds of gambling tools, and spirit stones piled up like mountains, flashing an alluring light.

The monks in the gambling house all had focused expressions. Some were rolling dice, some were fighting beasts, and some were betting.

Jiang Qiong looked around and did not rush over. Instead, he sat in an empty seat and ordered a glass of spirit wine. He took a sip. The wine was rich in aroma and mellow in taste, which made people feel happy.

At this moment, a middle-aged monk in a gorgeous robe came over. He smiled and said to Jiang Qiong:
"My fellow Taoist, is this your first time visiting our gambling house?"

"I am the manager here. I wonder if you are interested in joining our gambling game?"

Jiang Qiong smiled slightly and nodded: "It is indeed my first time here. I wonder if there is any special gambling here?"

The manager said with a smile on his face: "We have all kinds of gambling here, the most popular ones are the spirit stone gambling and the magic weapon gambling."

"The Spirit Stone Gambling Game is the simplest. You just need to bet the Spirit Stone and guess the number of the dice."

"The weapon betting game is more complicated. Gamblers are required to take out their own weapons to compete. The winner can obtain the opponent's weapon."

"Of course, there are also beast fighting betting here, that is, betting on spirit beasts, which is similar to cricket fighting in the mortal world."

After hearing this, Jiang Qiong had an idea and decided to try his luck first.

He took out a bag of spirit stones from his arms, placed it on the table, and said, "Let's have a round of spirit stone gambling first."

The steward nodded and immediately called a servant over.

The servant took Jiang Qiong to a round table, skillfully placed the dice into an exquisite jade cup, shook it a few times, and then turned the jade cup upside down on the table.

"Please place your bets, fellow Taoists." said the attendant.

Jiang Qiong observed the monks around him and found that they piled the spirit stones at different numbers.

He thought for a moment and decided to bet on the number "six".

When the attendant saw that everyone had placed their bets, he opened the jade cup.

The dice rolled on the table several times and finally stopped at the number "six".

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, you win!" said the attendant with a smile, pushing the spirit stone on the table in front of Jiang Qiong.

interesting.
Just click and you will get the spirit stone
Jiang Qiong didn't intend to cheat. It was just a few spirit stones. If they were gone, they would be gone.

With this in mind.

In the next few games, Jiang Qiong's luck was sometimes good and sometimes bad, with some wins and some losses, but overall she won more than she lost.

After playing two rounds casually, Jiang Qiong looked around and noticed that there was a busy area on the other side of the gambling house, which seemed to be a place for animal fighting.

Jiang Qiong had an idea and decided to go and see how the beast fighting was conducted.

He stood up and walked over there.

When you get closer, you can see that there is a huge arena, surrounded by monks. They look nervous and their eyes are fixed on every movement on the arena.

At this time, two spirit beasts were fighting fiercely on the ring. One was a huge red flame lion, burning with blazing flames, and the other was a nimble thunder leopard, flashing with blue lightning.

The two spirit beasts fought back and forth in an extremely intense battle. Every collision brought about a fluctuation of spiritual power, which drew cheers from the audience.

Jiang Qiong found an empty seat and sat down. Seeing that he was a new face, a cultivator next to him took the initiative to introduce him, "Fellow Daoist, it seems that this is your first time to the Colosseum, right?"

"Ah."

Jiang Qiong nodded casually. She had been too busy in the past and had never been to these places.

"Hehe, this Colosseum is not simple. It's possible to become rich overnight or poor overnight."

The monk next to him rubbed his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you try to place a bet?"

After hearing this, Jiang Qiong thought for a while and decided to join in the fun, so he walked to the betting table and randomly selected a spirit beast and bet a few spirit stones.

After placing the bets, Jiang Qiong returned to his seat and watched the fight on the ring attentively.

At this time, the battle between the Red Flame Lion and the Thunder Leopard has entered a white-hot stage.

The Red Flame Lion suddenly leaped up and slapped the Thunder Leopard with its huge flaming claws. The Thunder Leopard dodged nimbly and then counterattacked. A blue lightning hit the Red Flame Lion's side. The Red Flame Lion roared in pain and the flames on its body became more intense.

The audience cheered, some applauded loudly, while others stared nervously at the spirit beasts they bet on, fearing that they would lose.

Jiang Qiong seemed rather indifferent.

The battle lasted for a long time, and finally the Thunder Leopard was more skilled and knocked down the Red Flame Lion with a lightning strike, winning the victory.

Cheers rang out around the arena. The monks who bet on the Thunder Leopard jumped up excitedly, while those who bet on the Scarlet Flame Lion looked a little frustrated.

In the blink of an eye, the second spirit beast competition began.

One of the spirit beasts was a fox, its body was snow-white, and it was accompanied by a spirit beast master with a hot body and a good-looking face.

The expressions of the man and the beast were solemn, and they finally walked onto the stage together.

"The spirit beast I bet on is here."

When Jiang Qiong saw the spirit fox, he straightened his expression and looked at it seriously. (End of this chapter)
