Chapter 188 The game begins
Wang Jingxuan did not answer directly, but looked at the female cultivator in front of him.
She was about 40 or 50 years old, with a cold face. She was quite beautiful, but her eyebrows drooped slantingly, making her face look very inharmonious.
"Uh... No, senior. Thank you for saving my life. I have a father at home who loves me. I ran away secretly this time. He must be very worried, so I have to go home quickly..." Wang Jingxuan smiled awkwardly and refused.
"Alas... it seems that you have no destiny with my Wangqing Sect. Well, you can stay here with peace of mind today, and I will send you out of the valley in the morning dew tomorrow!" The middle-aged female cultivator sighed with some disappointment.
Seeing that Wang Jingxuan was a little doubtful again, he continued, "It's not that I won't send you out today, it's just that there is a powerful natural formation in this valley. You can only leave the valley when the morning dew falls. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to leave."
"Hehehe...Okay, senior, I'll bother you a little bit. Please give me a ride tomorrow." Upon hearing this, Wang Jingxuan put aside his doubts and said with a smile.
Then the middle-aged female cultivator reminded Wang Jingxuan not to run around, and it would be better for her to stay in the house and wait for him to come to find her tomorrow, because the entire sect did not like outside cultivators.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jingxuan naturally returned to the room she had been in and waited quietly for tomorrow to come.
Wang Jingxuan in the room took out the communication bead out of habit. Since she learned of Lu Chen's death, she was just sad at first and sent a message to Lu Chen to cry about it. Later, she liked this way of expressing her inner thoughts.
However, today's communication bead was different. Originally, there were only four spiritual marks in his communication bead. After deleting Zhang Haoyang's spiritual mark,
Logically speaking, only the spiritual marks of my father and Uncle Zhao would light up, which means that they were also sending me messages because I ran away from home recently.
However, Lu Chen's spiritual mark actually lit up today, which really scared Wang Jingxuan and he almost threw away the communication bead.
You must know that the spiritual mark of a fallen monk will never light up again, and even if the communication bead falls into the hands of others again, such a thing will not happen.
Wang Jingxuan plucked up his courage, injected his spiritual consciousness into the communication bead, and carefully checked the information sent by Lu Chen's spiritual consciousness mark.
After reading the content, she finally realized that Lu Chen did not die in the Endless Forest at all.
This news stirred Wang Jingxuan's heart, as if something precious had been lost and then found again. She was very happy.
"You are a bad person, a bad person who eavesdrops on other people's conversations," Wang Jingxuan replied shyly.
She thought about how she had said a lot of her innermost thoughts to the communication bead before, and guessed that Lu Chen must have heard it all, and she felt very embarrassed.
Then she briefly recounted her experience and told Lu Chen that she was going to find him. Then, like a girl in love, she happily waited for Lu Chen's reply.
In Qianyang City, on the top floor of the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce branch, Lu Chen replied to messages from Wang Jingxuan, Master Yu Xiao, Zhong Tao, Gu Feng, Ling Manyu, and Mu Kexin one after another.
Unexpectedly, the first person to reply was from Young Master Yu Xiao. He was shocked that Lu Chen was still alive. Then the two of them briefly chatted about their recent situation and then agreed to meet in the Half Moon City area of Yidu Prefecture in the Central Plains.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one replied to him, he guessed that they were all busy with their own things. Then Lu Chen put the communication bead into the storage bag so that he could receive messages.
According to the time calculation, Wang Jingxuan was still in a coma at this moment, so Lu Chen did not receive the message she sent after waking up at this point in time.
Then, Lu Chen focused his mind, blocked his six senses, and began to practice, so that time would pass faster.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Under the attention of many forces and the anticipation of many cultivators, the day of the gambling competition between Feiyu Chamber of Commerce and Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce finally came.
The venue of the competition was set at the City Lord's Mansion in Qianyang City.
The start time of the game is set at Si time, which is around nine o'clock in the morning.
Because this competition involved two chambers of commerce and the ownership of the entire southern Xinjiang market, it was not widely publicized and only a small number of people or forces knew about it.
Early in the morning, Lu Chen put on the acquired spiritual treasure mask that Yan Zixia had tried every means to customize for him three days ago.
Yan Zixia could understand Lu Chen's idea and agreed to it immediately, but the spirit stones would be deducted from the remaining fees.
It was not until last night that Lu Chen got the mask. Even so, Lu Chen was still shocked by the strength of Feiyu Chamber of Commerce. You know, this mask was customized according to Lu Chen's requirements.
Moreover, it is an acquired spiritual treasure, and it is not an easy task from material selection to refining.
It is said that unless one encounters a powerful being in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, even a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage cannot tell that the mask on Lu Chen's face is one.
Lu Chen projected a light curtain of formation on the wall and looked at his current appearance with the help of projection. Although he was not as handsome as his original face, it was also very good. You know, he drew it completely according to the reference picture of Li Xiaoyao played by Hu Ge.
I didn't expect that the craftsmanship of the mask maker was so good, and the effect was so lifelike.
Because Lu Chen liked the character Li Xiaoyao played by Hu Ge in his previous life, he subconsciously thought of this image when he was drawing the picture.
At this moment, guests have arrived at the martial arts arena of the City Lord's Mansion.
In the middle of the martial arts arena, there are two stone platforms that are more than one meter high and as wide as a table top. The stone platforms are more than ten meters apart. This is where the two contestants compete.
A high platform is set up directly in front of the two stone platforms, which can seat twenty people without appearing crowded.
On both sides of the stone platform were the guests from the two chambers of commerce, which could seat about ten people.
Directly behind the stone platform, there are about a hundred seats arranged in a stepped manner. They are the audience seats, where the younger generations from various major forces come mainly to broaden their horizons.
"Hahaha...there don't seem to be many people watching!" Qi Yutang, who was sitting in the audience, asked in surprise.
"That's for sure. This competition is of great significance. Those who can come here are not ordinary people. Hahaha..." Zhao Chengzhi laughed proudly.
They praised themselves openly and secretly, because they were able to come this time because Zhao Chengzhi's father used his connections to buy the tickets from someone else at a high price.
"It's almost the Si hour, why haven't the people on the referee's stand arrived yet?" Yang Yunfei asked.
"Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? You seem to have never seen the world. You keep mumbling nonsense there. It's really noisy! If you don't shut up, I will beat you up, believe it or not?"
Just as Yang Yunfei and the others were chatting among themselves, an inappropriate voice sounded...
