The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 21: Gambling at Tianbao Mountain (Part )

The six wind and thunder swords in front of him exuded a faint aura, roughly equivalent to the human-grade top-grade flying sword in Ji Xiaoshan's hand. The purple and green color was overflowing with light, blooming with brilliant light.

Ji Xiaoshan's thoughts flashed, and the shining light immediately retracted, and the magical object was hidden in his heart.

"This sword of the Earth Rank is of the highest quality. It has a very good foundation. Once it is refined by the blood of gods and demons, it can reach the upper human rank. It is enough for the moment." Ji Xiaoshan felt it carefully, and after carefully comparing the auras of the magic weapons, he took the six wind and thunder swords into his body to nourish them.

In the empty and vast Zifu space, six purple-green swords suddenly appeared above the Zifu Lake, surrounding it and standing in the Zifu, floating up and down with the fluctuations of Yuanli.

"Now, all that's left is to break through the seventh level of the Chi Ming Jiu Tian Tu!"

Ji Xiaoshan felt that the divine power in his body was always just a little short of perfection, but the artistic conception of yin and yang being in harmony, was always difficult to achieve.

"Forget it, it's getting late, and I need to relax and work hard during my practice!" Ji Xiaoshan thought. He had been traveling continuously for a while, and his spirit had been tense all the time. He had not relaxed at all, and then he closed his eyes.

……

a few days later.

"Master Ji, didn't you ask me about the gambling fight before?" A blue-robed monk stepped into the courtyard where Ji Xiaoshan was and immediately spoke loudly. It was Yang Chuan, the Purple Mansion monk from Tianbao Mountain.

In the yard, a young man in black robe was practicing swordplay with a purple-green sword in his hand.

When the young man in black robe saw the guest coming, he put away his sword and the long sword in his hand disappeared instantly.

"Oh? Any news?" Ji Xiaoshan raised his eyes and asked lightly.

He had been thinking about his own cultivation these days, but after all, the time was too short and his foundation was a little insufficient. And fighting was undoubtedly one of the ways to quickly accumulate foundation.

Force your way into a new realm through battle!
Only then did I learn about the gambling fight in Tianbao Mountain. I just received the news today.

"Mr. Ji, do you really want to participate in this gambling battle?" Yang Chuan saw that the black-robed young man in front of him had a calm tone, but his black and white eyes were intertwined with a very serious look, so he confirmed again.

"This gambling battle is a fight of life and death. If you participate, unless one party can admit defeat in time, you can still save your life. But in a fight of life and death, it is difficult to stop in time, which is extremely dangerous. Even if those young masters and young ladies want to earn some essence, they only send their spirit beasts to fight, and few people personally go to the arena to fight."

"It's okay. When I see the situation is not good, I will naturally admit defeat in time," Ji Xiaoshan smiled faintly when he saw Yang Chuan's serious explanation.

Yang Chuan had seen many different kinds of immortal cultivators in Tianbao Mountain, but this one was really rare, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Okay, I'll go talk to the supervisor right away."

Some geniuses rose up in the fighting, and some even died in the fighting themselves, but don't blame anyone if they die. Besides, he had also persuaded that Master Ji wanted to seek some excitement himself, so it couldn't be blamed on him if he died.

"Wait!" Ji Xiaoshan stopped Yang Chuan who was about to leave.

"Hmm?" Are you changing your mind?
“If I go on the field, use these one hundred taels of Yuan Liquid to help me win!” When Ji Xiaoshan saw the blue-clothed Purple Mansion cultivator turning around and looking at him, he directly threw a black card over. It was the Yuan Card of Tianbao Mountain.

"Yes! Okay!" The purple mansion monk in blue responded and nodded slightly.

……

At midnight, the entire Anchan city seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, but the private territories were still brightly lit.

There are only two brightest places in the west of Anchan City, both of which are the top places for enjoyment in Anchan City.

One is a magnificent and huge building, the whole body of which is shaped like a giant fox, which is in a crouching position. The huge gate is made like a fox's mouth, swallowing and exhaling a vast amount of heaven and earth vitality. It is dotted with pearls and is extremely gorgeous.

One is a towering treasure mountain, shining with infinite precious light. The mountain is brightly lit with lanterns as small as beans. Although it is not as gorgeous as the fox buildings, it has more majestic and heavy heritage.

One by one, the immortal cultivators flew in the air over the mountain and stepped into the treasure mountain.

Midnight is the most exciting moment in Tianbaoshan today, and a rare gambling battle is about to begin.

……

The huge hall was empty. In the center of the hall stood a huge stone arena, which was about one mile long and wide.

Below the arena, there was still a lot of space in the hall, and scattered monks from Tianbao Mountain in blue or purple robes could be seen moving about busily.

Until two blue-robed monks placed a crystal stone column in the middle of the arena.

"It's about to start!" someone whispered. "This time, I will definitely get the 120 Yuan Liquid after the third victory!" The cultivators who participated in the gambling fight swore secretly.

The private rooms on the second floor of the palace hall are already full of people, all looking forward to the show.

Ji Xiaoshan also chose a room with a good view, looking down at the ring below. As the one who played today, he had a bet of 12 yuan, so he played later.

The order of appearance is very particular. Usually, the ones served first are just appetizers, or they are weaker, or have less liquid energy bet on, but it doesn't mean that being at the back is a good position.

The ones that come later are also more dangerous. They are usually those who can win the bet in the previous battles and successfully survive. These cultivators are not weaklings.

Ji Xiaoshan watched quietly.

An immortal cultivator holding a long sword walked quickly towards the arena from one side of the hall, and a one-horned monster stepped in from the other side at the same time. A faint murderous aura emanated from both of them. The man and the monster looked at each other from a distance, with cold light flashing in their eyes.

In the arena, when swords are unsheathed, it is not just a competition of skills, but also a matter of winning or losing, as well as life or death.

They walked forward to the crystal column standing in the center of the arena and transferred their energy into it. In an instant, the crystal column burst into a faint light.

"The One-Horned Demon King is the Perfection of the Purple Mansion!"

"The man holding the knife is a god or demon who has practiced physical training in the late Purple Palace and has practiced Qi training in the early Purple Palace!"

One day, the blue-robed monk from Baoshan shouted, "Activate the formation!"

Then, before the blue-robed monk had even finished his words, he packed up the crystal column and left quickly.

Immediately afterwards, a huge shield of energy covered the entire arena in the hall. The shield was colorless and transparent, rippling like water waves. Looking down from the private room, everything was clearly visible.

A blue-robed monk from the Purple Mansion knocked on the door outside Ji Xiaoshan's private room. After getting permission, he walked in quietly. It was Yang Chuan.

"Mr. Ji, everything has been arranged. When the first cultivator who has won three consecutive games appears in the arena below, it will be your turn to participate in the gambling fight." Yang Chuan explained, "Today's gambling fights in Tianbao Mountain have not received any private life-and-death fights to settle grudges. They are all voluntary cultivators who participate for survival or to obtain treasures."

"If you win two games in a row without any personal grudges, you will get 50 taels of liquid from Tianbao Mountain. If you win three games in a row, you will get 100 taels of liquid. That's why you will compete with him at this time." Yang Chuan continued. "Of course, if you win after betting, it will be extra income and will not be included in the reward!"

"Okay. Thanks." The young man in black robe retracted his gaze, turned around, moved two chairs with his spiritual power, and placed them in front of the window.

"Sit down! It's a good opportunity to talk to me. This One-horned Demon King's performance doesn't seem like it's his first time participating." Ji Xiaoshan asked, looking at the battle that had already begun on the stage.

"This old one-horned monster is a frequent visitor to this gambling war. He comes down directly after winning two or three games just for the reward for consecutive victories. He is very slippery. But he has strong cultivation and the body of a big monster. He has strong ability to protect his life. He is a strong opponent!" Yang Chuan thought for a while, thinking about the past information, and commented.

"Oh?"

"Then he probably won't get the reward this time." Ji Xiaoshan looked at the battle below with a serious expression.

The one-horned old monster below turned into a giant one-horned python, rolled up its thick python tail and lashed out at the young man with a knife. The snake tongue from the python's mouth under the horn moved in and out, and in a blink of an eye it spit out a ball of dark green venom and attacked from the front and back with its python tail.

"Boy, you are dead!" The one-horned python spoke in human language, but the voice was rough and hard to hear.

"Ha. Just a long worm!" The young man sneered. He spoke with contempt, but the long sword in his hand slashed quickly.

Instantly, a sharp blade shone through his body and slashed at the whistling python's tail...

The young man with the knife used his mysterious footwork to avoid the dark green venom and quickly approached the giant python.

"Bah!"

With a slight sound, the sharp blade light instantly collided with the python's tail. The blade light was like a hot knife into butter, easily penetrating into the python's tail, leaving a deep scar that could be seen to the bone...

"That old one-horned demon should be defeated." Ji Xiaoshan nodded secretly as he watched the battle below. The young man holding the knife was very powerful, and his long knife was extremely sharp. Even the body of the great demon with perfect purple mansion could not resist it, and he was about to be quickly approached, so his defeat was a matter of time.

A moment later, with a roar from the One-horned Demon King, the young man chopped him into several twisting pieces of flesh.

"The one holding the knife wins!" The blue-robed monk below the ring announced the result immediately after seeing the dust settle.

While someone was cleaning the ring, the man with the knife got off the ring and sat cross-legged in a clean place, quietly waiting for the next cultivator...
