Chapter 73 The Mop Master Teases Ji Biyue
The next morning.
The backyard of Tianxuan Stone Archway.
Li Xian pushed open the door and rubbed the corner of her eye.
His face was pale, his eyes were tired, and his steps were unsteady, as if he had been fighting for three days and three nights in a brothel.
Forcibly breaking through to the fourth level of the Dao Palace puts immense strain on the internal organs.
in the courtyard.
Under the dead tree.
Wei Yi stopped sweeping.
He looked up at him, and a knowing glint flashed in his old eyes.
"Young people, it's good to be full of energy, but you also need to know how to exercise restraint."
The old man spoke slowly, pulling a large stack of gold-embossed invitations from his sleeve and throwing them onto the stone table.
"The doorstep was piled high with visiting cards from the holy maidens and elders of various religions, as well as the ten most popular brothels last night."
Li Xian scanned the invitation with his divine sense, which exuded the scents of cosmetics and medicinal herbs.
Winning over, testing, arranging marriages, and setting bait.
I'm busy.
Li Xian withdrew her gaze.
From this, we can glean a message from Yao Yuekong, which contains a reminder:
Brother Li, be careful. The most outstanding successor of the Yuan King lineage arrived in the Holy City yesterday and seems to be hostile towards you.
Interesting, another source is being sent.
After two trips to the Dragon Transformation Pool and one trip to the Jade Pool, Li Xian's source energy was almost depleted.
Now I feel sleepy.
The pillow has arrived too.
After a moment's thought, Li Xian sent a message to Yao Yuekong: "A challenge to the Yuanwang family, to compete in Yuan techniques at midday."
He paused for a moment.
"The stakes are a million catties of pure mineral water."
Wei Yi paused for a moment in his grip on the broom.
Without saying anything more, he continued sweeping.
Half an hour later.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the holy city.
The successor of Yuan Tian has issued a challenge, wanting to fight against the Yuan Wang family, with a staggering stake of one million.
The entire holy city was in an uproar.
Li Xian remained calm.
I took advantage of a half-day of free time to go into seclusion for a while.
He then integrated and mastered the Origin King's Stone Appraisal Technique and the Origin Qi Transformation Weapon.
Dao Gong's injuries gradually stabilized under the nourishment of the Yaochi Divine Spring and the Desolate Ancient Divine Spring.
His source techniques have improved once again, especially his Source Heaven Divine Eye. With the help of Yunxi and his ability to draw inferences from one another, he has achieved minor success and is on the verge of comprehending the Source Heaven Divine Awareness.
Sunrise.
He pushed the door open.
Headed straight for Ji Family Stone Archway.
Outside the stone archway, there was a huge crowd of people.
The streets were completely blocked by monks.
Li Xiangang has just appeared.
The crowd automatically parted to make way.
"Brother Li!"
The ethereal moon, waving its folding fan, welcomes us; a woman in purple robes flutters in the wind.
Beside him followed Xia Yiming, the prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Behind Xia Yiming, there was a petite figure.
She wore a snow-white monk's robe and a white hat. She had no hair, but had an extremely pure and beautiful face.
Bright, dark eyes.
Big, bright eyes.
He timidly peeked out half his head, curiously observing Li Xian.
Xia Yilin, the little princess of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Amitabha Buddha, are you the benefactor Li Xian who angered the Ouyang family to the point of vomiting blood?"
The young nun clasped her hands together in prayer.
Her voice was soft and sweet, and she seemed innocent and naive.
Li Xian looked at her and nodded: "Ami Tofu, it's me."
Xia Yiming coughed lightly and pulled his sister behind him: "My sister is unruly, Brother Li, please don't take offense. Are you confident in today's battle?"
"It's just about finding the source; there's no question of being certain."
Li Xian spoke calmly, displaying a relaxed attitude towards the game.
As they were talking, a commotion broke out ahead.
Then the crowd parted to both sides like a tide.
A young man strode over.
Sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.
He has a handsome face.
His eyes revealed an innate arrogance.
Every step taken.
There were faint traces of Origin Qi emanating from beneath his feet.
Tuoba Chang, the young master of the Tuoba family, the head of the four great Yuanwang families.
"Are you Li Xian, the one who wanted to gamble on stones with me?"
Tuoba Chang stopped three zhang away, looking down at him.
"Yes, let's take a gamble."
Li Xian looked at him.
It's like looking at a mobile mountain.
Tuoba Chang scoffed, his eyes filled with contempt: "Heh, I just happened to be passing through the Holy City and heard that someone was so arrogant that I decided to defeat you while I was at it."
Li Xian almost burst out laughing.
"Defeat him casually?" He looked at Tuoba Chang. "If you hadn't come specifically to find me, why would you have brought men to block the entrance of the Ji family's stone archway?"
"With such an arrogant attitude, aren't you afraid of crying when you lose?"
Tuoba Chang's face darkened.
He did receive a secret order from his clan to take action against Li Xian, but this brat's tone is too foul!
Tuoba Chang tolerated it.
But his young followers couldn't bear it.
"How dare you! The extraordinary techniques of a family specializing in Source Arts are far beyond the reach of your amateurish methods!"
"Young Master Tuoba will crush you effortlessly!"
The lackeys waved flags and shouted slogans.
Li Xian ignored them and looked directly at Tuoba Chang: "That guy called Tuoba."
"A mop?!" Tuoba Chang roared in fury.
"Since you're not here to gamble with me, there's no need for us to go in."
Li Xian turned and left, decisively and cleanly.
"Halt!" Tuoba Chang shouted sternly, "Are you scared? If you're scared, then get out of the Holy City right now and don't call yourself a Source Master anymore!"
He was arrogant, and took out a storage jade tablet surrounded by source energy from his sleeve, and slapped it on the stone lion next to him.
"If you have the guts—I'll wager 200,000 catties of pure source energy to show you what true source energy techniques are!"
The surrounding cultivators gasped in surprise.
Two hundred thousand catties of source.
For the vast majority of people, it is an astronomical figure.
Li Xian stopped and looked back at the jade pendant.
His brows furrowed.
"Only this much?"
The entire room fell silent.
Li Xian sighed, his face full of disdain: "I thought you would have prepared at least several million catties of Origin to defeat me easily while passing through the Holy City. Two hundred thousand catties? That's barely enough for the entrance ticket to the Heavenly Stone Garden."
"With your shabby appearance, you dare call yourself the Yuan Royal Family?"
"You dare to get involved without a million-dollar stake?"
The way the surrounding cultivators looked at Li Xian changed.
This master is a ruthless person who possesses the seed of a Qilin and an unparalleled divine source. Two hundred thousand catties of source are really not enough in his eyes.
Tuoba Chang was publicly scolded for being poor.
His face turned purplish-red, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"Fine! You want a big gamble? I'll grant your wish!" he gritted his teeth. "One million catties of Yuan!"
"Not enough." Li Xian shook his head. "I also want the remaining three core inheritances of the Origin King lineage: the Origin Heaven Treasure Wheel, the Origin King Forbidden Array, and the Crimson Gold Divine Hand."
Tuoba Chang's pupils contracted: "You dare covet the very foundation of my clan?!"
"You don't dare to gamble?" Li Xian retorted.
Tuoba Chang, enraged, laughed coldly: "Fine! If you win, I'll give you my life! But if you lose, the divine medicine seed and the top-grade divine source you possess will all be mine!"
"make a deal."
The two walked side by side into the Ji family stone archway.
Inside the stone archway.
Ancient trees reach for the sky.
Giant vines entwine.
The courtyards are arranged in eighteen layers, each building upon the previous one.
"What are the rules?" Tuoba Chang sneered, "Go directly to the top-tier stone garden?"
"Too fast, no fun." Li Xian glanced around. "Since we're here, let's gamble our way in. We'll select stones from the Ji family's eighteen stone gardens one by one."
He turned to look at Tuoba Chang and proposed additional rules.
"Each stone garden will select one piece. The rare treasures cut out from them, whose value differs by more than one Pure Source, will belong to the winner. Finally, in the Heavenly Stone Garden, each garden will select three stones for a final showdown."
These words caused an uproar among the thousands of cultivators who had followed.
"This is insane! They're trying to buy at the bottom!"
"If you cut through the eighteen stone gardens, the loser will not only have to pay back the bet, but the treasures they cut out will also be taken away by the other party."
If luck weren't on their side, they could lose six or seven hundred thousand jin of raw materials just from buying the stones!
Tuoba Chang's expression also changed.
Although he was arrogant, this kind of gambling consumed a huge amount of money.
"What, Young Master Mop doesn't dare?" Li Xian asked.
"What is there to be afraid of!"
Tuoba Chang was caught in a bind and had no choice but to endure it.
"Talk is cheap; show us the stakes first."
Li Xian wasn't in a hurry to choose a stone; he simply grabbed one from the sea of suffering.
The exotic amethyst source that sealed the Divine Silkworm Princess appeared, shining brightly and illuminating the entire front yard.
"Here is the principal worth millions."
His gaze swept across the crowd and landed on a woman in a long, emerald-green dress who was alluring and charming.
Ji Biyue is one of the four moons of the Ji family.
"Fairy Ji, how about we entrust this bet to the Ji family as witness?"
Li Xian pushed Zi Yuan toward her.
Ji Biyue's beautiful eyes sparkled with tears as she chuckled, "Brother Li trusts me, so I'm naturally happy to serve you."
Ji Jia Da Yue Liang waved her hand, storing the source in a jade artifact and sending a telepathic message: "Young Master is so cold-hearted, not even replying to my letters."
Li Xian was stunned for a moment.
The letter from that big moon came back to mind.
It's not hard to tell from between the lines that he's a ruthless character capable of using seductive tactics.
"Hehe————" Li Xian replied telepathically, "Fairy Ji, you misunderstand. I was busy cultivating for a while, and as soon as I came out of seclusion today, I came to find you immediately."
"Really, young master, you mustn't be trying to deceive me."
"Of course it's true."
How to describe Ji Biyue—
After all, she's a woman whose dowry includes the right to borrow the Void Mirror. For Li Xian, seducing her is more worthwhile than flirting with An Miaoyi.
The two secretly communicated telepathically.
It was as if they were exchanging glances.
This left Tuoba Chang out in the cold.
Seeing that there was still no movement, Li Xian turned around and looked at Tuoba Chang, who was standing in place with his face turning pale and then red.
"Young Master Mop, I've paid my bet." Li Xian spread his hands. "Where's your million jin of source material? Hand it over to the Ji family for safekeeping."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Tuoba Chang stood frozen in place.
He was just making threats.
I didn't have that much cash on me at all.
They originally hoped to rely on Source Arts to cut stones, sustain themselves through war, or have their families allocate resources when settling accounts at the end.
Now Li Xian is directly telling him to use cash to place bets.
on him.
Only those 200,000 jin of raw materials.
If we hand it over now as a wager.
How will he afford to buy stones in the eighteen stone gardens next?
"I----"
Tuoba Chang broke out in a cold sweat.
"No way?" Li Xian feigned surprise, his voice loud enough for the entire room to hear. "The young master of the Yuanwang family came to the Holy City to gamble on stones, and he didn't even bring enough money to buy them?"
Laughter.
It rang out from all directions.
Tuoba Chang's face turned completely liver-colored.
Driven by extreme shame and indignation, his prized golden right hand was now trembling uncontrollably.
"Who said I didn't bring enough!" Tuoba Chang suddenly looked up, staring intently at Li Xian. "My Tuoba family's businesses in the Holy City can mobilize a million catties of resources at any time. What's your rush!"
"I'm in a hurry to win money." Li Xian's tone was light, but his eyes were as cold as ice. "Since you don't have cash, then write an IOU. Use your Tuoba family's stone archway in the Holy City as collateral."
He pressed on relentlessly.
They didn't give the other side a chance to breathe at all.
"Dare you, or don't you dare?" Li Xian asked.
