Chapter 17: Earn 3420 Spiritual Stones
Yu Jun calmly applied a low-level lightening talisman to himself.
Ning Fan and the monks in the audience were puzzled when they saw this.
"What's the point of this guy putting a low-level light body talisman on him? At most it can make him run a little faster, but he can only last for a quarter of an hour."
"Yeah, in the ring you can't win just by running fast."
"I don't know what he was thinking. A low-level light body talisman is a useless talisman. At most it increases speed a little bit, but the duration of its effect is short. And it's expensive. Why did he buy a low-level light body talisman?"
Nobody knows.
Even Ning Fan was confused.
When Ning Fan rushed over, he dodged Ning Fan's attack. Ning Fan was about to continue approaching, but saw Yu Jun advancing instead of retreating, making a surprise attack.
Ning Fan's pupils shrank and he barely dodged the attack, but Yu Jun left a small cut on his face.
The cut was so tiny that no one would have noticed it if a little blood hadn't spilled out.
However, some cultivators carefully discovered that the wound on Ning Fan's face caused by Yu Jun was not straight, but curved, like... a crescent moon.
Ning Fan thought this was the beginning of Yu Jun's counterattack and was alert, but he didn't expect that after such a blow, Yu Jun would no longer fight him head-on.
He just avoided a head-on battle with Ning Fan.
The audience was drowsy watching.
"It's boring. It's really boring."
"That's right, what's the point of just hiding?"
"Fellow Daoist Ning, please get rid of him quickly! I'm getting annoyed when I see him jumping around like a grasshopper!"
Ning Fan was also feeling annoyed. If he fought him head on, Yu Jun would definitely not be able to defeat him. But if Yu Jun was hiding like this, he would not be able to defeat him either. At most, he could only disgust him.
And for some reason, he always felt that his spiritual energy seemed a little stagnant.
It must be an illusion.
He looked at Yu Jun who was hiding from him in the distance and felt angry.
In that case, don't blame me for being rude!
Below the ring, Xu Qiuqian looked at the scene and curled the corners of his lips.
"The person you bet on is about to lose, and you can still laugh?"
"Who said he was going to lose?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not. I think he's going to win."
In fact, from the moment Yu Jun used the Shadow Moon Blade to injure Ning Fan, as long as Yu Jun could avoid being caught by Ning Fan for the next quarter of an hour, or get knocked off the stage, he would surely win.
Yu Jun's approach does seem to make the fighting scene extremely boring.
But fighting is never about making people feel excited, but about winning.
Only winning is meaningful, the rest is illusory.
"Tsk, I think you don't understand either. Ning Fan is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and Yu Jun is at the seventh level. Now Yu Jun is still fleeing in a panic. Will Ning Fan lose? I'm putting it here. If Ning Fan loses, I'll call you my ancestor!"
Xu Qiuqian raised her eyebrows but said nothing in rebuttal.
Half a minute later, Ning Fan admitted defeat in a panic.
Xu Qiuqian then looked at the monk who had just spoken and said with a smile: "I don't have such a stupid grandson."
“…”
Then, she turned her gaze to the person who opened the table: "The game is over, can we count the spirit stones now?"
The man then came to his senses and began to calculate.
Ning Fan bet 90% and Yu Jun 10%. Xu Qiuqian invested 380 spirit stones and finally got 3,420 low-grade spirit stones.
Xu Qiuqian felt very happy holding the spirit stone.
OK, OK, I actually earned more than 3,000 spirit stones in just one trip. It was a huge profit! "Fellow Daoist, wait a minute!" Someone called out to her.
Xu Qiuqian turned around in confusion and saw that it was the monk who had just spoken to her.
"What's up?"
The monk said embarrassedly: "My name is Liao Zheng. I am sorry for offending you just now. I hope you will not be offended."
"It's okay. I cursed back anyway."
Liao Zheng: "..." He coughed, "Well, I have a question that I don't understand. I wonder if you can help me solve it."
Xu Qiuqian understood immediately.
"Are you asking why Ning Fan lost?"
"Exactly."
Not only him, but also those cultivators who bet on Ning Fan were equally curious, because in their opinion, Ning Fan's cultivation was higher than Yu Jun's, and Ning Fan was also well-known in Youling City. He had a solid foundation, and even when facing those with the same cultivation, he won most of the time, so they bet on Ning Fan to win without hesitation.
But why did Yu Jun, who was one level lower in cultivation, win despite hiding the entire time and not daring to fight head-on? They really couldn't figure it out.
Xu Qiu smiled and said, "Why don't you go ask him yourself?"
"Will he tell us?"
"I think so." After all, Yu Jun had promised her that he would help her promote the product.
However, it doesn’t matter if Yu Jun doesn’t publicize it now. After all, the other party is aiming for the championship, so naturally he doesn’t want others to know his secret, but he will probably tell it later.
Look at him anyway.
Seeing that Xu Qiuqian didn't say anything, the other cultivators were disappointed but did not ask any further questions.
Xu Qiuqian returned to the store.
However, what she didn’t expect was that after she left, someone suddenly realized: “I know the reason!”
"What's the reason?"
"I was wondering why the magic weapon in his hand looked so familiar. Just now I remembered that two days ago when I went to Hong'an Street to try my luck, I saw a newly opened grocery store. The magic weapon sold on the shelf of the grocery store was his!"
Others were puzzled: "But what does this have to do with him winning?"
"Oh, that magic weapon is called Shadow Moon Blade. When it hits something, it will leave a crescent-shaped wound. If the thing being cut has spiritual power, it will gradually make the use of spiritual power sluggish!"
"Hiss... But can't such magical instruments be used only after one has at least established a foundation?"
"I have seen something similar in a magic weapon shop. It can be used in the Qi Refining Stage and is called Hunling Silk. But that Hunling Silk is too useless, so no one bought it. It was a pity at the time. They said that even if it was replaced with a sword or a knife, it would be sold out instantly. I didn't expect that it actually existed!"
When everyone heard this, they stared at the man with burning eyes.
"Where is that store?"
"It's at the end of Hong'an Street. You'll see an open store without a sign."
"Wait, Hong'an Street..."
On the other side, after Xu Qiuqian returned to the store, she found that Chen Wei had come to see her again.
When Chen Wei saw her, his eyes lit up and he rushed to her: "Sister Qiu Qian, I have brought you a big surprise!"
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help laughing when he saw Chen Wei's exaggerated tone and actions.
"Oh? What's the surprise?"
Could it be that she had attracted many guests? That would be a huge surprise indeed.
"My dad promised me to hang the sign of Sister Qiu Qian's store in our store!"
"What?" Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
Chen Wei thought Xu Qiuqian didn't understand, so he quickly explained: "Just hang up the address of Sister Qiuqian's store and the things she sells in our Chen family's store. When the time comes, whenever a cultivator comes to the store to buy something, he will see this sign! How about it, is Sister Qiuqian happy?"
He stared at Xu Qiuqian excitedly, as if asking for praise.
Xu Qiuqian fell silent.
After a while, he said slowly: "Glad, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't agree."
