The Legend of the Netherworld

Familiar scene, Lin Xiao came to the foot of the Sutra Pagoda alone, and as usual, he lifted his feet and came to the sixth floor of the Sutra Pagoda.

What caught his eye was still the Sweeping Monk immersed in a sea of ​​books. Lin Xiao looked at the Sweeping Monk in the distance and thought to himself, "The secret of the map shouldn't be known to too many people."

Then he turned and walked towards the first floor of the Sutra Pagoda.

The moment Lin Xiao left, the Sweeping Monk suddenly put down the book in his hand and looked in the direction Lin Xiao left. He couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with this kid today? He didn't stick to his "Illusion Body Skill: Imitating Phantom Moves" and went downstairs instead."

After pondering for a while, the Sweeping Monk picked up the book and immersed himself in the sea of ​​books again.

Arriving on the first floor, faced with a dazzling array of various secret techniques and martial arts, Lin Xiao had no idea where to start, so he had to keep searching according to the categories on the bookshelf.

He walked around and around, and finally found a bookshelf in an inconspicuous corner. The catalog category on it was written as "Strange Stories".

Lin Xiao smiled and whispered, "It's really hard to find an encyclopedia in this land of immortal cultivation." He then picked up a book called "Revelation" from the bookshelf and looked through it, looking for clues about the "Netherworld".

Lin Xiao flipped through the book quickly and found no record of "the underworld". He immediately changed the book and continued reading.

Lin Xiao spent the night reading and changing books until a ray of sunlight quietly shone on Lin Xiao's books. Lin Xiao realized that the night was over. In order not to embarrass the management, he immediately returned to the sixth floor.

At this time, the Sweeping Monk was lying among the pile of books, happily falling asleep, his soft snoring echoing on the sixth floor. Lin Xiao quietly entered the barrier, sat cross-legged, and practiced the "Boundless Sea of ​​Mind" technique with his eyes closed to rest.

"Lin Xiao, the martial arts competition is about to begin." A shout came from downstairs, and the person shouting was Liu Yi.

Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes and walked to the window. He saw that the people coming were Liu Yi, Senior Brother Lin Qing and Lin Jiao. So, he lifted his feet and suddenly jumped down from the sixth-floor window, using the "Dragon Wandering Around the Seas" technique to land steadily in front of them.

"Can't you be more self-aware? Do you need us to remind you?" Liu Yi said with a hint of complaint in his tone.

Lin Xiao smiled and replied: "Aren't you happy to see me earlier?"

"Tsk~" Liu Yi said disdainfully.

Lin Xiao then bowed to Senior Brother Lin Qing. Lin Qing waved his hand and said, "We were just about to go to the arena and happened to run into Lin Jiao, so we came to find you first and then go together."

Lin Xiao rubbed his head, raised the corner of his mouth, and said awkwardly: "I came to the Sutra Pagoda last evening to practice some new martial arts, and accidentally fell asleep."

Lin Qing smiled but said nothing, while Lin Jiao laughed softly, thinking in her heart: "Brother Lin Xiao, this excuse is too old-fashioned, no one will believe it."

As the four of them were chatting and laughing, they came to the open space in front of the gate. The arena had already been formed, so the four of them went up to the stands and found an empty seat to sit down.

Soon, they saw Wang Hao and Yuan Hong looking around in the distance, as if looking for everyone. Liu Yi quickly waved and pointed them in the direction. The two walked towards the four people's location, but everyone noticed that Yuan Hong was carrying a package on his back.

"What are you carrying behind you?" Liu Yi asked curiously to the two people who were walking towards him.

"Wait a minute, you'll know," Yuan Hong replied in suspense.

The two of them sat down on a nearby seat, and Yuan Hong immediately opened the package he brought and gave each of them a Jiaoli pear.

Everyone was shocked. Although Jiaoli was not a top-level spiritual medicine, it was still a kind of spiritual medicine that could replenish energy and increase cultivation. Seeing him distribute it so casually,

Lin Xiao asked with suspicion, "Where did you get so many Jiaoli? Why don't you keep them for yourself? Long-term consumption will be of great benefit to your cultivation."

"This was given to me by my senior brother Minghu. He got a lot of fairy jades and looked down on this ordinary spiritual medicine, so he gave it all to me. I still have more than 20 in my meditation room. You can eat them without worry. If it is not enough, I have more," Yuan Hong said with a smile.

Everyone was even more puzzled. Lin Jiao's eyes were filled with confusion. She asked, "How did your Senior Brother Minghu get so many immortal jades and these spiritual medicines?"

Yuan Hong glanced at Lin Xiao and then said, "My senior brother Minghu's family runs a casino. Yesterday, he turned into the banker and set up a gambling game for the winners and losers of the ring battles. In particular, the game between you, Lin Xiao, and Ma Mingyu of the Tianji Pavilion made my senior brother Minghu a lot of money. There were so many fairy jades yesterday that he had to make two trips to transport them back to the meditation room."

Everyone nodded and started eating the pear given by Yuan Hong. As soon as they put it in their mouths, they felt strength surging in their bodies.

At this moment, Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and a plan emerged in his mind. He said to Lin Jiao, "Give me all the fairy jades on you, and I will return them in full when the time comes."

Although Lin Jiao didn't know what Lin Xiao was going to do with it, she still gave all five fairy jades on her to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao asked Senior Brother Lin Qing for the fairy jade again, and Lin Qing gave Lin Xiao the five fairy jades on him.

Liu Yi asked curiously, "Why do you need so many fairy jades?"

"The immortals have their own magical uses"

Lin Xiao looked at the ten immortal jades given by Senior Brothers Lin Jiao and Lin Qing, plus the ten immortal jades he had on him, a total of twenty. He already had a brilliant plan in mind and asked Yuan Hong, "Will your Senior Brother Minghu open the market today?"

"Probably. Senior Brother Minghu said that he wants to rely on this conference to make himself rich enough to rival a country." Yuan Hong replied.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying the delicious Jiaoli Pear, Yuan Hong glanced at Lin Jiao and said, "Sister Lin Jiao, do you know what the odds are that my senior brother gave you?"

"Odds, what odds?" Lin Jiao asked with confusion in her eyes.

"It's just a guess about who will win first place in this tournament." Yuan Hong finished swallowing the pear in his mouth and said, "Brother Minghu gave you, Brother Li Qing, Brother Zhang Ning, and Brother Gongsun Minghui different odds for the championship. You have a one-to-four chance, while Brother Li Qing has reduced it to one-to-one-point-three, Zhang Ning one-to-one-point-five, and Brother Minghui one-to-three."

Lin Jiao nodded lightly and said nonchalantly, "This is useless. As long as they have fun, that's all."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao hurriedly asked, "What about me? What are my odds, one to five?"

"I'm sorry, you are not on the opening list of the championship contenders," Yuan Hong replied calmly with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha~" everyone laughed.

A moment later, the Sect Master and the elders arrived at the elders' stand. The Sect Master came to the front and solemnly announced to the disciples, "Today's first match will be between Lin Xiao and Gongsun Minghui of Sanyuan Pavilion, Ding Yiming of Chanyi Hall and Wei Lingling of Tianji Pavilion, and Yu Yiyun of Xingchen Pavilion and Zhong Lin of Baicao Garden."

After hearing the battle arrangement, Lin Xiao immediately gave Wang Hao a look.
