Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Chapter 247 Four Arts Competition (6)

Shi Yan kept his word. In the next round of competition, he no longer delayed time. As soon as the game started, he broke out in less than half a cup of tea.

His sudden change in style really scared a lot of people, and some people saw something fishy from his performance in this competition.

However, most cultivators still did not believe that his ability to break the formation surpassed that of the contestants they favored. They thought that Shi Yan was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse and encountered the formation that he was particularly good at. In the next round, he might not be so lucky to be the first to break the formation.

Shi Yan didn't care what those people thought of him. He smiled and came to Han Xin, and asked in a voice transmission, "Am I fast enough?"

Han Xin smiled and nodded.

"This isn't even my fastest speed, but I can't act too outrageous, lest others can't accept it and accuse me of cheating or something."

According to his ability, it would take only two breaths to solve the problem.

"Of course I know." Han Xin believed him.

During the time she was practicing refining third-level pills, A Yan did not stop to improve herself. These were skills that A Yan had acquired over the years.

"Let's go. I've staked you another 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Hehe, another million in gains."

"Are you too happy and don't even know the accounts? You only got 900,000 middle-grade spirit stones."

"This is not important." She just likes to say it as a whole, it sounds comfortable.

As luck would have it, when the two of them arrived at the opening of the gambling game, the person standing in front of them to receive the spirit stones happened to be Zhang Ran.

And this time, she still followed Han Xin and bet on Shi Yan to win.

She knew that if she followed Han Xin to place bets, she would be guaranteed to win. Sure enough, she won twice. Moreover, she saw the man named Shi Yan leave the ring so quickly just now, which meant that he was hiding his ability before. Next, she would still bet on Shi Yan to win.

This time, she won two bets, making her a total of 370,000 medium-grade spirit stones. To be on the safe side, she would dare to bet an additional 10,000 spirit stones next time.

It’s better to earn less than to lose money.

Zhang Ran thought happily, but when he turned around, he met Han Xin's teasing gaze. He suddenly felt embarrassed, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look Han Xin in the eye.

"What a coincidence, Brother Zhang, you're here to place your bets too."

Zhang Ran nodded embarrassedly and made room for the two of them.

When Han Xin received the one million medium-grade spirit stones and turned around, she found that Zhang Ran had not left.

"Why are you still here?" Han Xin asked with a smile.

"Waiting for you." Zhang Ran was still embarrassed.

"Then let's talk while we walk."

Zhang Ran didn't know how to start the conversation, so the three of them walked two streets in silence.

When they reached a street with relatively fewer people, Zhang Ran called out to Han Xin.

The two turned to look at her.

"I need to explain the matter of betting on Fellow Daoist Shi to win the game."

Seeing the other person's serious and tangled expression, Han Xin couldn't help but burst out laughing. Zhang Ran looked at her and thought that she was laughing for no reason. Did he say something funny? Or did she feel that she wanted to explain at this time and felt that her behavior was hypocritical?
But who she bets on to win shouldn't be regulated, right?

Zhang Ran just felt that he and they were acquainted after all, and he happened to bet on one of them to win, so he felt the situation was a bit awkward.

She is a serious person and felt it necessary to explain to them why she won by buying the stone inkstone.

"What's there to explain?" Han Xin saw her frowning and didn't want others to think too much. "As long as the game allows betting, it doesn't matter who you bet on. You don't need to bother explaining anything to us."

Zhang Ran: It turned out that I was overthinking it, and no one wanted to laugh at her.

But she still thought it would be better to explain it.

"I hadn't thought about placing a bet at first, but when I saw you placing a bet that day, I went over to take a look out of curiosity. However, you were too fast, and you left before I even got there. When I got there, I saw that your bet on Fellow Daoist Shi was recorded in the registration book. Seeing that you registered the person who placed the bet so quickly, I thought that the person you placed the bet on must be quite strong, so I followed you to place a bet. I didn't expect that I would win in the end."

"Haha...I definitely believe in my Ah Yan."

"I have to thank you for helping me earn a lot of spiritual stones."

With this amount of spirit stones, she can buy some healing pills for her master and two senior brothers.

Unfortunately, she had no ability and could not earn more spirit stones, so she could not buy better healing pills for her master and senior brothers.

The healing pills she could buy with the little spirit stones she earned from selling talismans were of too low a quality. They could only prevent her master and senior brothers' injuries from getting worse, but were not enough to heal them.

If she could continue to earn more spirit stones with the help of Fellow Daoist Shi, so that she could afford to sell a better pill, no matter whether it was her master or her senior brother, no matter which of them could wake up first and open their own storage devices, the situation on their mountain would no longer be difficult.

Han Xin didn't know that Zhang Ran was in a difficult situation. Originally, when she said thank you to them just now, the smile on her lips looked quite pleasing to the eye. But why did the smile become more and more bitter?

"Are you short of spirit stones?" Han Xin guessed without changing her expression.

Zhang Ran nodded, "Very short of supply."

"By the way, didn't you also participate in the Four Arts Competition? Which art did you participate in?"

"I participated in the talisman master competition, but unfortunately my level was not high enough." The success rate was not very high either, "I was eliminated in the fourth round."

The talisman competition was the fastest of the four arts, and she finished the competition early. If it weren't for the bet made by Fellow Daoist Han, she would have returned to the sect long ago.

"In that case, you'll have time to continue betting. Just keep betting on him. He doesn't have any other skills, but his formation is pretty good." Han Xin said, pointing at Shi Yan.

The corners of Zhang Ran's mouth twitched. Even if she could continue the game, it would not affect the continued betting.

Shi Yan was helpless. In Xinxin's eyes, how unremarkable was he?

After thinking for a while, Han Xin continued: "If you are not afraid of losing, you can also go to the alchemy group to place a bet on me. My alchemy skills are also pretty good."

"Xinxin, are you in the top 100?"

Didn't Xinxin always perform poorly? When did she make it to the top 100 list of Wentinglou?
Zhang Ran also found it strange. She had watched two of Fellow Daoist Han’s alchemy competitions, and her performance was mediocre in both matches.

Han Xin glared at him, "Not yet."

Shi Yan was speechless.

"Friend Han, I can't place a bet on you since you are not on the top 100 list of Wenting Tower." Zhang Ran thought Han Xin didn't understand, so he reminded her.
