Chapter 89: Going to the Gambling Hall, Who Doesn’t Want to Get Rich Overnight? (1/2)

Lingxu’s Jiuan is the largest trading hub in the cultivation world, without a doubt. Here, cultivators from all directions gather.

Jiuan has a variety of rare spiritual herbs, magical treasures, pills, spirit beasts, and martial arts manuals. It also boasts the largest gambling stone hall and the most famous auction house in the immortal sects.

The gambling stone hall is called “Heaven, Earth, Man and Harmony Hall,” but is commonly referred to as the “Four Sons Hall.”

This name comes from the fact that the entire gambling stone hall is divided into four different sub-halls.

Each sub-hall has different requirements for entry, and the source stones available in each are also different.

The source stones in the First Sub-Hall are the best.

These source stones all come from ancient ruins, ancient forbidden areas, or divine demon battlefields.

These places either underwent ancient god and demon wars, or were forbidden lands that ordinary cultivators cannot access, or were once inhabited by powerful beings.

The source stones born from these places have extraordinary quality, and they are likely to contain ancient relics, rare spiritual materials, or even the possibility of revealing supreme magical treasures.

However, entering the First Sub-Hall has a very high threshold. In addition to paying a substantial entry fee, cultivators must apply for a storage stone card and deposit a certain amount of spiritual stones in it as proof of wealth.

Simply being able to pay the entrance fee but having no additional spiritual stones will also prevent entry.

Moreover, cultivators must have reached the Golden Core stage or above to enter; otherwise, no matter how rich they are, they cannot gain entry.

The Second Sub-Hall has source stones of slightly lower quality but is still exceptional.

These source stones mostly come from small ruins or secret caves.

Although they have not undergone the purification of ancient god and demon wars and are not associated with ancient ruins or forbidden areas, these places were once home to powerful cultivators or hermits, so they may also contain rare spiritual materials or treasures.

The entry requirements for the Second Sub-Hall are more lenient. While an entrance fee is still required, it is much cheaper than the First Sub-Hall, and no proof of wealth is needed.

Cultivators only need to be at the Foundation Establishment stage or higher to enter.

Because of these lower entry requirements, the Second Sub-Hall is far busier than the First Sub-Hall, with the hall being packed every day.

The source stones in the Third Sub-Hall are relatively ordinary, mostly coming from common spiritual veins or ore veins.

These source stones generally don’t yield rare items, spiritual materials, or treasures, but are more likely to produce mineral crystals or stones with various spiritual auras.

However, for ordinary cultivators, these are still significant riches.

There are no entry requirements for the Third Sub-Hall, no need to pay an entrance fee, and no cultivation stage requirement.

The Fourth Sub-Hall is just as popular as the Second Sub-Hall.

It is known as the “blind box” hall.

The source stones in this hall are not distinguished by their specific origins and are mixed together for sale.

Furthermore, it is impossible to judge the quality of the source stones by their appearance since each one is covered with a special cloth bag, so one has to rely on intuition or luck when purchasing.

All the bags of source stones are priced the same, but the value of the source stones inside varies greatly.

Previously, someone struck it lucky and opened a source stone from an ancient ruin, which led to an ancient god-level magical treasure. That person became immensely rich overnight.

However, there were also those who were unlucky and opened nothing of value, losing everything.

Despite the losses, the gambling mentality still prevailed, and many believed they would discover rare treasures. This led to the Fourth Sub-Hall becoming even more popular than the Second Sub-Hall, with the hall packed every day.

Because of its overwhelming popularity, some people even bought hundreds or thousands of bags, causing many cultivators to be unable to purchase any. As a result, the Fourth Sub-Hall imposed a new rule: each cultivator can only buy a limited number of bags per day to maintain fairness.

Along the way, according to gossip from the system, Qi Feifan’s favorite place to visit in Lingxu Jiuan is the gambling stone hall.

Chapter 89: Going to the Gambling Hall, Who Doesn’t Want to Get Rich Overnight? (2/2)

Although it is not easy for disciples of Penglai to leave the sect, whenever they do, they always try to visit this place.

He is affectionately known as “Gambling Feifan.”

This nickname is because this lazy disciple of the Immortal Sect is truly lucky when it comes to gambling.

He had stayed at the Second Sub-Hall for three days and nights, and every source stone he selected opened something valuable. Even when he went to the Fourth Sub-Hall to try his luck with blind boxes, he never lost. As a result, he earned this nickname.

Ye Qingning was not uninterested in gambling stones, but she simply didn’t have the spiritual stones to participate.

Who doesn’t want to get rich overnight?

So, when she learned that Qi Feifan was at Lingxu Jiuan to visit the gambling stone hall and the auction house, she immediately decided to join him.

Gambling stones are all about luck, and it’s better to follow a diviner than to blindly make guesses.

Mu Xingchen, who hadn’t broken through to the Golden Core stage, couldn’t leave the Penglai Sect, so she had to find someone else.

At the entrance of the gambling stone hall, there was a lively crowd.

A prominent diviner stood there holding up a large sign that clearly read five large characters: “Ye Daoyou, Look at Me!”

As each person entering the gambling stone hall passed by, they glanced at the diviner, some even muttering, “Crazy.”

“Junior Sister Ye, is this diviner the one you hired?” Si Qian blinked her watery eyes and asked.

She had heard that Ye Qingning had hired a diviner to visit the gambling stone hall, and regretted not knowing a few diviners herself. The one she knew was still trying to break through to the Golden Core stage in Penglai Sect.

She had never considered bringing a diviner along to the gambling stone hall. It was much better than blindly guessing.

Ye Qingning nodded, saying that the diviner’s name was Yi Jiazi. He was the same one who had divined for her that night at the Xizhou black market. In her previous life, she had called him the “coat rack” for easy remembrance.

This time, however, he didn’t know her name, and she was wearing a cloak at the time, so he didn’t recognize her appearance either. All he knew was her surname, Ye.

And so, on the divination stall’s signboard, he wrote the words “Ye Daoyou, Look at Me,” becoming the most eye-catching figure at the gambling stone hall’s entrance.

She almost wanted to say, “This guy must have been someone who chose to pick up passengers in his previous life.”

Ye Qingning said, “It’s me,” which left Yi Jiazi stunned.

In all his life, he had never seen such a beautiful female cultivator. He felt that no words could adequately describe her beauty!

For a moment, he completely forgot what he was supposed to say. It wasn’t until Ye Qingning called him again that he snapped back to reality, quickly saying, “Ye Daoyou, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

Ye Qingning nodded, “Let’s go. I’ll pay you the spiritual stones later.”

Qi Feifan twitched his lips. He thought it would have been better to ask him rather than hire a diviner. He had always taken good care of his junior sisters, and there was no need to spend spiritual stones to hire someone else. But, it seemed that this diviner wasn’t too sharp.

The group headed into the gambling stone hall. Since it was divided into four sub-halls, and Qi Feifan was a regular, he asked, “Which hall do you want to go to? I’ll accompany you.”

Ye Qingning could tell that this Immortal Sect disciple had just broken through to the Golden Core stage and wasn’t short of spiritual stones. She figured he must be heading for the First Sub-Hall.

“I want to visit the Third Sub-Hall first. Senior Brother Qi, would you like to join me?”

Qi Feifan raised an eyebrow, suddenly remembering the news about the Ye family and Pei Yin fighting, along with the messages in the Spirit Jade Slip.

Given how the Ye family treated her, how many spiritual stones could she have? So, the Third Sub-Hall would suffice.

Of course, if this beautiful junior sister wanted to visit the First Sub-Hall, he could lend her spiritual stones; after all, he had plenty.

Although the Third Sub-Hall wasn’t the busiest, it was still crowded. Many cultivators were gathered in the source stone area, picking out the source stones they liked. The area where source stones were cracked open was surrounded by layer upon layer of people.

Suddenly, someone screamed, “Ahhhh! It’s a Phoenix Crystal! A ninth-grade material for refining! We’ve struck it rich! We’ve hit the jackpot! Grandmaster, I’ll offer a tribute to you! Please bless me with a golden body!”
