This incident also exposed some problems. For example, their cheating methods were not very discreet, allowing a Golden Core cultivator to figure out the trick and find a way to deal with it in just one night. It was not safe enough, and if they were exposed in the future, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As for Tu Yecheng, the person in charge of this gambling den, it turned out that he was very unsuitable to manage the gambling den. Things would only get worse if he took over. Because of the Shixuan incident, Tu Shiqing, the eldest uncle of the Tu family, regained control of the gambling den.
The power shift within the family was completed quietly. The head of the family and the eldest branch of the family were already in competition. If the power of the head of the family continued to weaken, it could very well affect the future of the next head of the family.
For Tu Yecheng, this was truly a double loss. Shi Xuan was not only unharmed but also gained over a million high-grade spirit stones from the Tu family, while he lost the biggest piece of the Tu family's prize and might even lose his status as the heir!
This made him even more furious. Old grudges and new hatreds made him hate Shi Xuan to the core.
Shi Xuan, however, was completely unaffected. She strolled around the bustling streets of Nuojiang City with a few friends, buying whatever new and interesting things she saw, and ended up having a leisurely and carefree day.
Everyone in Nuojiang City knew that Shi Xuan from the Lianfeng Sword Sect had come to their city and, with his immense wealth, had practically bought up all the building materials shops in the entire city.
Whether it's for alchemy or weapon crafting, for drawing talismans or setting up formations, I buy it as soon as I see it, regardless of its type or grade.
For a time, all the merchants in Nuojiang City were all smiles, as if they were celebrating a festival.
On this one day, Shi Xuan returned home in the evening aboard her extravagantly large spirit boat.
Fearing something might happen to her on her way out, her guards followed her on their swords for two more days until they escorted her to the territory of the Lianfeng Sword Sect before returning to report.
During their trip to Nuojiang City, Shi Xuan and his companions made a fortune, finally avenging the burning of their shop. They were very satisfied!
Meanwhile, in Nuojiang City, due to Shi Xuan's massive stockpiling, a stalemate of material shortages ensued for several days. Some merchants' supply channels were emptied by Shi Xuan, forcing them to source goods from outside Nuojiang City to meet their store's operational needs.
After Shi Xuan and his group left, the Tu family's gambling den experienced a severe business downturn. Although they eventually fulfilled Shi Xuan's promise of spirit stones, the people in the VIP room felt increasingly uneasy after leaving. They belatedly realized that it was probably all orchestrated by Shi Xuan.
She didn't know how she controlled the horse's speed!
Looking back on the situation, the person in charge easily accepted Shi Xuan's huge betting money without even looking at Lingma's performance. Shouldn't he have been more concerned about the situation on the field at this time?
But halfway through the race, the steward suddenly realized that the Ren-character spirit horse had taken the lead, and he began to panic, rushing to call Elder Zhu.
Shi Xuan, as if he had foreseen the future, led his men to block Elder Zhu's path until the spirit horse had completed its journey before letting him leave!
What does this mean? It means that the spirit horse can be controlled! And the fact that the manager remained so calm after receiving 100,000 in bets can only mean that he was completely confident at the beginning. In his mind, the Ren-number spirit horse had absolutely no chance of winning!
Why was he so certain? There were only ten horses on the field. Although the probability was small, it was still entirely possible to lose! The manager's attitude from the beginning was very thought-provoking.
After much deliberation, the group concluded that the Tu family must have mastered a method to control the speed of the spirit horse, and that this method had been broken by Shi Xuan, which led to the loss of more than one million high-grade spirit stones!
If they go gambling again, aren't they just sending spirit stones to the Tu family? It's safer and more transparent to go to a private gambling den.
Once this conclusion was reached, it spread like wildfire. For a period of time, the Tu Family Gambling House was the talk of the town. Cheating and attempts to renege on debts were fatal to a casino.
For the Tu family gambling den, it only took one thing to go from being bustling with customers to being deserted!
The Tu family has been trying their best to mitigate the losses, but to no avail.
Some small gambling dens seized the opportunity to gain popularity, advertising themselves as "honest and fair to all," which quickly drew away many of Tu's customers.
This was like adding insult to injury for the Tu family, who had already lost more than a million spirit stones. Tu Yecheng, the culprit who caused all of this, was looked at with suspicion by everyone in the Tu family.
This caused Tu Yecheng to stay out of the public eye for a long time, hiding in his courtyard and brooding. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Shi Xuan had ruined him.
However, he also felt a sense of apprehension towards Shi Xuan. This person was far too terrifying. Putting aside her actions at the Lianfeng Sword Sect auction and later at the shop entrance, the fact that she could win over a million spirit stones from their Tu family's gambling den in a single day was enough to show how unfathomable she was.
In that instant, Tu Yecheng began to regret it. Why had he been so foolish as to go looking for trouble with someone like her?
Unlike the Tu family's tragic fate, Shi Xuan was warmly welcomed by all the disciples upon her return to the sect. The disciples lined up at the sect gate, shouting "Shi Xuan is righteous!" and came out to greet her with smiles.
They still remembered what Shi Xuan said before he left: that when he returned, he would have Gu Liangce teach them how to heal their dantian.
During this period, the cultivation atmosphere of the entire Lianfeng Sword Sect was extremely strong, with a large group of people chasing after each other, fearing that they would still not be able to learn the cultivation level when Shi Xuan and the others returned.
In reality, even if they practiced diligently, they might not be able to learn it.
However, Shi Xuan plans to keep this method within the sect, so that any disciple who wants to learn this skill can do so once they meet the requirements.
Surrounded and unable to advance, Shi Xuan and the others had no choice but to resort to their trump card. She said to Tang Nong, "Third Senior Sister, the reason you're all welcoming us back to the sect like this must be because you've heard about your successful experiment with the new variety of spiritual food and want to try it first. What are you waiting for? Bring out everything you made on the way and let everyone have a taste!"
Tang Nong was taken aback at first. Her biggest gain from following Shi Xuan was a lot of spirit stones, but she hadn't developed the formula yet.
But that doesn't stop them from eating.
Tang Nong then took out a large amount of spiritual food from her storage bag. As soon as she did this, the disciples who had been blocking them scattered in an instant, leaving only the four who returned looking at each other in bewilderment.
Shi Xuan paused, then gave Tang Nong a thumbs-up and said, "Third Senior Sister is awesome!"
