Chapter 419: Big Gamble

Is reputation useful? Of course it is useful.

Reputation is an intangible asset and the most direct and important identity label for the public.

Luxury goods can sell garbage for sky-high prices just by relying on a trademark, but to be honest, it’s nothing more than reputation.

When people consume luxury goods, they are essentially using them to give themselves an identity label: I am rich! This is why luxury goods are sold at a very high price. If everyone can afford it, then luxury goods will lose the meaning of an identity label.

The same is true for cultivators; great reputation is more important than spirit stones.

If an ordinary cultivator took out a large amount of spirit stones, it would only arouse others' greed. For a powerful person with a huge reputation, everyone would naturally be in awe of him and would never dare to act rashly.

For Gao Xian, reputation plays a more practical and important role.

The reason why his books are selling better and better is also due to his great fame.

All the practitioners in Qingyun Sect, no matter what they think of the romantic picture book he wrote, must buy it and take a look.

Nothing else, just curious about what kind of romantic painting book he, the first golden elixir of Qingyun, would write! Until now, the territory of Qingyun Sect is still the main source of human spiritual light.

Wanbaolou sold his novels in various places in Wanfeng County, and although they sold very well, without the blessing of his status, they were still far inferior.

After this battle, he will surely become famous in Wanfeng County. By then, everyone will definitely want to read the book he wrote.

There must be something special about celebrities. Celebrities are like eating a mouthful of dog shit, and everyone can't help but want to taste it.

No matter how bad it tastes, I will just secretly call it an idiot. Then I will show off to those who have never eaten it, saying, "I have eaten the shit that so-and-so has eaten. Have you eaten it? " Herd mentality is the most direct and simple instinct of the public.

Even if no one is causing trouble, Gao Xian is still thinking about how to improve his reputation in Wanfeng City.

For practitioners, writing poetry and painting are ultimately minor pursuits and should not be taken seriously.

Only with strong strength can you gain recognition and respect.

Now Yue Huafeng and his group are secretly plotting to set him up and then kill him, which is exactly what he wants.

When strength and reputation don't match, that's flattery. His strength and reputation don't match, that's reputation far from matching his strength.

Gao Xian praised Yue Huafeng in his heart, saying, "Good boy, he knows how to do things." He remembered this favor deeply and would definitely find a chance to arrange a painless ascension package for Yue Huafeng in the future.

Of course, Gao Xian is not that fierce. There are many Yuanying Zhenjun in Wanfeng City, so he has to make sure the situation is clear before taking any action.

The Wanfeng Sect's territory is larger than the thirty-six sects combined. There are dozens of Yuanying Zhenjuns sitting in it, maintaining the operation of such a large sect.

Even if we don't count the Taoist master Yue Wanfeng, the Wanfeng Sect's strength crushes all other sects.

Gao Xian didn't want to come into conflict with Yuanying Zhenjun. The combined effect of his two first-grade golden elixirs was far inferior to that of the early Yuanying stage.

When a cultivator condenses his Nascent Soul and achieves success in his Yin Spirit, his spiritual awareness can expand to a distance of a hundred miles.

This is just the starting stage. As the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul True Lord continues to improve, the spiritual sense sensing range of the top Nascent Soul powerhouse can reach three to five hundred miles.

Even with the blessing of Tai Su God, his spiritual consciousness could only reach more than seventy miles.

If Sister Lan is included, the combined consciousness of the two can still compete with the early stage of Yuanying. It's just that Sister Lan's limitations are too great.

Yuanying Zhenjun is not only powerful in spiritual awareness, but also in all aspects of magic power, spells, and magic tools.

Gao Xian had no way to contact Yue Shenxiu directly, let alone visit him in person.

The Wanfeng Sect has a powerful god-transforming expert in charge, so he really doesn't dare to act presumptuously.

It was okay for the Tai Chi Mysterious Light Invisible Heavenly Clothes to show off in front of Xiao Hongye, but it was not appropriate to show off in front of Yue Shenxiu.

It was easy for this first-grade golden elixir to see that there was something wrong with the Tai Chi Xuan Guang Invisible Heavenly Clothes.

Fortunately, Yue Shenxiu gave him the Wanli Sound Transmission Note. Although it was a bit of a waste to use it here, he couldn't care less.

Gao Xian used his magic power to activate the Wanli Sound Transmission Talisman, and the golden light on the talisman gradually turned into a golden mirror.

"Or live video? Advanced."

This was also the first time that Gao Xian used the Wanli Sound Transmission Talisman. This high-level sound transmission talisman was very expensive and rare.

This thing should have been drawn by Yue Shenxiu himself. It is more advanced than the ordinary talisman for transmitting sound over thousands of miles, and it can even condense into a light mirror to transmit images.

After waiting for a while, Yue Shenxiu appeared in the light mirror.

She was still wearing moon-white Taoist robes, a hibiscus crown on her head, and a snow-white whisk in her hand. She sat quietly cross-legged on a cushion, just like an immortal in heaven.

However, at this moment, her bright eyes were full of doubt, her lips were slightly pursed, and her expression did not seem very happy.

"Fellow Daoist, hey, long time no see." Gao Xian greeted with a smile.

"So you used the Wanli Note Transmission just for greeting?" Yue Shenxiu said unhappily.

The Wanli Sound Transmission Note she drew was of the third-grade quality, and could ignore various obstacles such as magic arrays to communication.

Gao Xianren was in Wanfeng City, but he used the Wanli Sound Transmission Note to contact her, which made her somewhat unhappy.

"Fellow Daoist, someone wants to deal with me, I can only ask you for help..."

Gao Xian briefly explained the matter and asked, "I don't care about Yue Huafeng and his ilk. I'm just afraid there may be Yuanying Zhenjun behind them."

“I see.”

Yue Shenxiu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go over the day after tomorrow. I won't let anyone ruin our plans."

She and Gao Xian didn't have much friendship, but they had something important to do together.

She couldn't let anything happen to Gao Xian before things were accomplished.

She is not afraid of any of the Yuanying Zhenjuns in Wanfeng Sect.

"good."

Gao Xian said, "I just so happen to have something important to discuss with you. Let's meet and talk."

Regarding Chunyang Yuqinghua and Yun Qingxuan, it is not convenient to communicate in this way. It is too unsafe.

Yue Shenxiu nodded slightly, and with a wave of the snow-white whisk in her hand, the golden light mirror disappeared silently.

Gao Xian sighed, the Talisman Fairy was really awesome, she could cast magic talismans and spells so effortlessly.

It has to be said that many of his spells are cast instantly and do not require any gestures, which makes him a little inferior to Yue Shenxiu.

How about getting a whisk to show off? Gao Xian thought about it and decided to give up.

The whisk in Yue Shenxiu's hand was at least fourth level, and its magical power was unfathomable. Moreover, it matched her magical power, which was why it could change so mysteriously.

If he pretended to be serious with a whisk, he would be laughed at. Besides, Yue Shenxiu was wearing a Taoist robe and looked like a Taoist priest, so it was natural for her to hold a whisk.

However, isn’t it too presumptuous for her to wear a hibiscus crown?

Gao Xian had mixed thoughts in his mind. Yue Shenxiu was also a first-grade golden elixir, and the two sides were going to cooperate, so he was naturally a little curious about Yue Shenxiu.

No matter what, his only connection in Wanfeng Sect was willing to help, and that was enough.

As soon as Wu Liuji issued the declaration of war, the news immediately spread throughout Wanfeng City and caused a sensation among all parties.

Wu Liuji is very famous, and his fame in Wanfeng County is far greater than Gao Xian.

The main reason is that he acts in a domineering manner, fights extremely bravely and powerfully, and has never encountered an opponent along the way.

Hunyuan Sect and Wanfeng Sect are adjacent to each other, so the name of this genius naturally spread to Wanfeng Sect.

When the Tianyinglu was published, everyone found out that Wu Liuji could only be ranked fifth. Few people knew that Gao Xian was ranked first, which caused a lot of discussion.

Wu Liuji's challenge was within everyone's expectations. Given his personality, it would be strange if he didn't do so.

At this time, almost all the people from the thirty-six sects were present, and they were naturally very excited to hear the news.

Everyone wanted to watch the fun, and to most people, both Gao Xian and Wu Liuji were unfamiliar to them.

The rooms in Tianxiang Tower were booked out very quickly.

All relevant forces are also making various preparations in secret.

At Shangsi time on the third day, all floors of Tianxiang Tower were already filled with guests. The place was bustling with people and extremely lively.

In the private room on the top floor of Tianxiang Tower, Zhang Shengpeng said to Yang Changwei, "I spent five high-grade spirit stones to book this room number 7."

Yang Changwei cupped his hands and said, "I admire your generosity, my friend."

Zhang Shengpeng chuckled and said, "Not worth mentioning."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

He said so, but his fat face was already smiling brightly, his small eyes were narrowed into slits, and the word "proud" was written on his whole body from head to toe.

"Guard the corridor here. Anyone passing by here can see it."

As Zhang Shengpeng was speaking, he saw a star-blue robe passing by the door. He was startled and rushed to the door in a hurry.

He summoned up the courage to shout to the pretty figure: "Fellow Daoist Chu..."

Chu Yuheng and Xiao Hongye were walking forward arm in arm when they heard someone calling out from behind. She knew from the voice that it was Zhang Shengpeng from the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

This alchemy master is young, lustful but vulgar. Very interesting.

Chu Yuheng turned around and smiled at Zhang Shengpeng: "Friend Zhang, long time no see."

Facing that brilliant smile, Zhang Shengpeng's heart suddenly warmed up. He turned his eyes and saw Xiao Hongye beside Chu Yuheng, and found that she was tall and beautiful, and her mature and beautiful feminine charm was even more beautiful than Chu Yuheng.

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. This woman is so beautiful! He also felt that she looked familiar. This was Xiao Hongye, who was ranked tenth!

Zhang Shengpeng's heart warmed up even more. He quickly greeted, "Fellow Daoist Chu, have you booked a room? Why don't you come sit at my place. It's spacious enough."

He added: "It's lively with so many people, it's a good time to watch a show."

Chu Yuheng had of course booked a room. She thought for a moment and smiled, "Will that be inconvenient?"

"That's convenient. Please come in, two fairies." Zhang Shengpeng laughed, his big fat face glowing with excitement.

Xiao Hongye had no objection and followed Chu Yuheng into the room.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and both knew each other's identities.

In fact, they are all the youngest Jindan masters in the sect and are direct descendants of the sect, so they are equal in status.

Zhang Shengpeng was particularly enthusiastic, and all his little thoughts were written on his face, which made Chu Yuheng find it particularly funny.

Xiao Hongye didn't care. It was normal for men to be lustful. Gao Xian was no exception. Even though Gao Xian's demeanor was better than heaven, what really made her like him was that he risked his life to save her.

This fat guy is just trying to please her, what does that have to do with her?

Chu Yuheng liked to joke around, and he and the fat guy were chatting back and forth, making the conversation quite lively.

Yang Changwei didn't say much, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Xiao Hongye.

The last time he saw Yan Feiyin in Wanling Sect, he was shocked by her beauty and secretly told himself that he would marry no one else but her.

When he saw Xiao Hongye today, his thoughts changed. Yan Feiyin was too charming, Xiao Hongye was better, she was charming but mature and elegant, and her temperament made him addicted.

It’s just that this woman is a bit aloof and doesn’t talk much.

In order to show off himself, Yang Changwei took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Today Gao Xian and Wu Liuji are fighting, who do you think will win?"

Zhang Shengpeng rushed to say: "I bet on Gao Xian to win. Since this guy can rank first, he must have some ability.

"There is someone outside who is the banker. If Gao Xian wins, he will lose three points. I bet one hundred high-grade spirit stones. I think I can make a small profit of thirty high-grade spirit stones..."

Xiao Hongye's eyes moved and said, "There's someone else who's the banker, so I want to place a bet as well."

Zhang Shengpeng got excited when he heard that. "How much do you bet, I'll help you place the bet."

"Just bet 20,000 high-quality spirit stones."

Xiao Hongye brought all his wealth with him this time, hoping to take the opportunity to buy some necessary spiritual objects in Wanfeng County.

For this purpose, she also borrowed some spirit stones from the sect.

"ah?"

Zhang Shengpeng was shocked. He bet one or two hundred high-quality spirit stones, so even if he lost, it would not be a big deal.

Twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones, this is too much. Considering Xiao Hongye's status and position, this is probably all her assets.

The key is that after investing so much, even if you win, you can only get 6,000 high-quality spirit stones. The risk is too high and the return is too little. This is a losing business.

He couldn't help but advise: "Small gambling can make you happy, but big gambling can hurt your body. Think twice, fellow Taoist."

Xiao Hongye said calmly: "From what I see, Gao Xian will win. It would be a waste if we don't make this money..."

Before he finished speaking, someone outside sneered, "Gao Xian will win, huh, why?"

As the man spoke, he pushed the door open and walked in. He was over seven feet tall and extremely tall. The room seemed very cramped and small wherever he stood.

He was bald, with a pair of thick eyebrows as sharp as knives, and his golden eyes were cold and ruthless. Combined with his square face, he looked extremely fierce and domineering.

Even though Xiao Hongye had never seen this person before, she recognized him at a glance: Wu Liuji.

Wu Liuji's magical power was extremely powerful. Although he did not deliberately use his magical power, the aura emanating from his extremely strong body enveloped everyone.

The expressions of all the Jindan Zhenren changed slightly. This guy was too arrogant and overbearing.

On the other hand, they also had to admit that Wu Liuji's extraordinary power was extremely terrifying, and it put them under tremendous pressure.

Wu Liuji ignored the others. He looked directly at Xiao Hongye and said in a deep voice, "Why do you think Gao Xian can win?"

Xiao Hongye raised his eyebrows, revealing a bit of fierce sword intent, "I am sure that you will lose, what do you think?"

Wu Liuji's eyes flashed with ferocity. Chu Yuheng, Zhang Shengpeng and Yang Changwei all felt heavy all over and felt the tremendous pressure.

Although Zhang Shengpeng was lustful, he didn't dare to say anything. Yang Changwei hesitated and didn't dare to speak.

Chu Yuheng's starry eyes flickered and he was about to speak, but Xiao Hongye held him down with a hand. Xiao Hongye stood up with his sword in hand and looked at Wu Liuji coldly.

There was pure and sharp sword intent between her eyebrows and eyes, and she was not afraid of Wu Liuji at all.

Wu Liuji was also a little surprised. He thought for a moment and said, "You are protecting Gao Xian so much, he must be having a lover!"

He laughed loudly, "Today I will beat Gao Xian to his knees and beg for mercy, so that you, a woman, will know what a real man is!"
