Chapter 236 Your Great Opportunity Has Come
"How is that possible? It's just a skewer of barbecue."
Lin Xiaoman was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. How could someone tell her fortune just for a spirit stone and a skewer of barbecue? You should know that in the Tianji Pavilion, even if it was a newly graduated disciple, the price for a fortune-teller was ten thousand spirit stones.
The two were planning to go shopping on Penglai Island, but when they entered the city, they saw a group of people standing at the gate reading a notice.
"There's something going on, go check it out."
Chen Shuyan's eyes lit up and he quickly pulled Lin Xiaoman over to take a look.
The two of them moved forward, but it was so crowded that they couldn't squeeze in at all unless they used spiritual power. But if everyone used spiritual power, a fight would break out.
However, they didn't need to squeeze in to hear everyone talking aloud the contents of the notice.
"It's over, it's over. I have to go through this nine-day trial."
"Why? Didn't they say they were voluntary applicants? How come they were randomly selected?"
"The Human Heavenly Secret Pavilion said this is an opportunity, a great opportunity."
"If you want this opportunity, go ahead."
"Everyone, don't think too much about it. This is a random selection. Look, the Tianji Pavilion said it was a random selection. The Nine-Day Trial doesn't include all the cultivators who land on the island."
"It's this randomness that's scary."
......
Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan's expressions changed. They looked at each other, quickly pushed the people in front of them away, and ran forward to see what was happening.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan sat at the wonton stall with pale faces, silent for a long time.
"Two fairies, please enjoy your wontons."
Two bowls of steaming wontons were placed in front of them, the aroma tempting. Under normal circumstances, they would have started eating long ago, but at this moment they really had no appetite at all.
"Eat, you'll be better at fighting when you're full!!!"
Lin Xiaoman took a deep breath. Since fate brought them here, if they were really chosen, it was God who chose them, just like she traveled to this world.
Heaven will bestow a great responsibility on this person!
After she scooped up a wonton and ate it, her eyes lit up. "Hmm, it's delicious. It's actually the meat of a third-level monster. Eat it quickly."
Seeing her so optimistic, Chen Shuyan also smiled and said, "Okay, eat."
I didn't expect that the rules of this Nine-Day Trial would be so tricky. All cultivators who have come to the island in the past month, as long as they are in the Foundation Establishment Stage or Core Formation Stage, may be selected by the Nine-Day Trial, and they will be absorbed no matter where they are on the island.
However, after they arrived at Penglai Island, there were no more boats leaving the island, so they had no way to leave unless they got a boat themselves.
The problem is that ordinary ships, if they float on the sea, will become food for sea monsters even if they don’t die.
Chen Shuyan stopped eating, thinking that the wontons were really not tasty, not half as good as those made by Xiaoman.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoman. It's all my fault. I said I came to Penglai Island to join in the fun."
Now, they are all locked in the Nine-Day Trial. If they are selected to enter the Nine-Day Trial, it will be a place where they will die in nine out of ten chances. No, it will be a place where they will die in ten out of ten chances.
It would be fine if she died, but if Xiaoman suffered because of her suggestion, she would never be able to atone for her sin even if she died nine times.
"Oh, what? I want to join in the fun, too. Besides, this might be our chance. If we come across a great opportunity, we'll make a fortune."
Chen Shuyan smiled, "Yes, it could also be an opportunity. This time's Nine Days Trial might be different."
"Oh, and what I said before about the probability of events wasn't quite accurate. In fact, every time during the Nine Days Trial, there are always people who get the chance to come out, and after that, they are all very powerful seniors."
"Right, if we are chosen, after we come out of the Nine Days Trial, we will also become big bosses."
Lin Xiaoman nodded with a smile, daydreaming.
"You're really bold."
After eating wontons, the two of them really didn't feel like setting up stalls or going shopping. They had to hurry up and prepare some things. In case they were really selected to enter the Nine Days Trial, they had to prepare them in advance.
No one knows what is inside the Nine Days Trial. All they know is that it is extremely dangerous and cruel. After each trial, very few people come out.
Lin Xiaoman never gives up drawing talismans, so she keeps a lot of talismans in her storage bag. Therefore, she has no shortage of talismans, so she buys some weapons and self-protection items.
However, they knew they had to buy it, and more people had already rushed to buy it when they heard the news. Moreover, they set out too late. Tomorrow was the time when the Nine-Day Trial would begin. Several groups of people had already come before and had already swept away all the good things on Penglai Island.
"Boss, give me some talisman paper and ink, as much as you want."
In the end, Lin Xiaoman had no choice but to go to the talisman shop to buy some things that most people didn't need. She still had quite a few of her own, but it was better to buy some.
Seeing that even ordinary rejuvenation talismans could be sold for 1,000 spirit stones each, Lin Xiaoman kept praying in her heart that she and Shu Yan would not be selected. Then tomorrow, she would go to the square to sell talismans and would definitely make a lot of money.
The premium is so high, and the demand must be huge. Even if she clears out all the talismans in her storage bag, that will be no problem. Moreover, the spirit stones she gets will far exceed her usual income.
This stall must be set up!
But, the premise of all this is that she and Chen Shuyan were not selected!
However, fate is always like this. When it wants to give you a great opportunity, you can't escape it.
In the biting cold wind, Lin Xiaoman was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so naturally she could not feel the cold. But at this moment, when the light fell into her arms, she looked down and saw a jade token in her hand, and her heart suddenly turned cold.
Turning to look at Chen Shuyan, whose hands were also shining, Lin Xiaoman grinned, "Good boy, it seems that we are the chosen ones."
"ah?"
Chen Shuyan was also confused. How could the two of them be so lucky? Not to mention being chosen among thousands of people, even if both of them were chosen at once, that would be unparalleled.
Lin Xiaoman raised his hand and patted her shoulder. "Be careful, save your life first, and don't be impulsive."
"Yeah, you too, wait until we get out and fly into the sky!"
Chen Shuyan nodded heavily, grinned at her, and then stuffed a storage bag into Lin Xiaoman's arms. Almost at the same time, Lin Xiaoman also stuffed one into her arms.
"oops."
"you......"
The two of them sensed it and were about to refuse, but the next moment they felt a flash before their eyes, a strong suction force rushed over, and then they lost consciousness.
At the same time, beams of light flashed across the square, and figures disappeared one after another, leaving behind a small number of people who were either celebrating with joy or waving their fists in disappointment. For a moment, the bustling Penglai Island seemed to become quiet in an instant.
Lin Xiaoman felt as if she had just fallen asleep, then woke up with a start. When she opened her eyes, she found herself floating... on the sea?!
