Chapter 239: Gathering in Dongfu City again
The Zhengxu Kingdom is the easternmost country in the Wanshan Sea Area. It is also the largest and most populous country among the dozens of countries and independent tribes in the entire Wanshan Sea Area. Compared with the Great Mirage Kingdom, which is also one of the three major countries, the Zhengxu Kingdom is half the size in terms of population and territory. The territorial boundaries between the two countries are not very clear, and conflicts often occur on several disputed islands. Therefore, the countries are not friendly and there is no official navigation.
The main island of Zhengxu Kingdom is Zhengxu Island, covering an area of one million square miles. The capital, Dongfu City, is located on the southwest coast, about 6,000 miles away from Linghai City, the Great Mirage Island of the Great Mirage. There are thousands of large and small islands scattered among them, but less than one-third of them are inhabited for a long time.
Qingshi sailed eastward on the Xuanhu. Although the islands were densely covered and there was thin spiritual energy in the air, this thin spiritual energy could not support the Xuanhu flying in the air, so it could only sail on the sea. Fortunately, although this sea area is also windy and rough, compared with the strong winds and waves in the Qisha Sea and the vast ocean, the navigation conditions are still good.
It is naturally more convenient to take a jet spaceship, but Qingshi is determined to experience sea navigation and accumulate experience for sea navigation. He had a hunch that flying across the sea at high altitude might not work.
Qingshi didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he activated the Xuanhu's shielding array to make it invisible. From time to time, he would see some other ships on the sea, but as long as they didn't get too close, they would not be able to detect the Xuanhu and the Xuanhu's presence. The wake left on the sea surface.
The Xuanhu was extremely fast, and it was close to Zhengxu Island in only seven days. After seeing the tall city wall of Dongfu City from a distance, Qingshi took the Xuanhu and transferred to a spiritual airship.
Zhengxu Island is so vast that the aura on the surrounding sea is enough to support the flight of a small aura airship. If it reaches the island, the Xuanhu can fly freely.
The tall city walls of Dongfu City are designed to deal with sea beasts and enemy countries. They are not usually fortified against ordinary people. Qingshi easily entered this large city, which is more than twice the size of Linghai City.
After entering the city, Qingshi found that compared with Linghai City in the Great Mirage Kingdom, this big city had similar architectural regulations and layout, and the people's clothing and language were not much different. It’s just that the entire city is larger.
Although they are similar, they are two different countries after all, and the customs and customs on the streets are somewhat new. Qingshi wandered around with great interest, and after appreciating the local customs, he inquired about the most luxurious and luxurious hotel in the city. After being guided by someone, Qingshi came to the Wanjin Hotel on East Street. Sure enough, Chen Tianye and four others were staying here.
The hotel occupies an extremely large area and is extremely luxurious. Chen Tianye and the others have rented an exquisite small courtyard. The rent alone costs 900 high-grade spiritual stones per day. However, for each person, Xuanhu has hundreds of millions of high-grade spiritual stones. As far as the leader is concerned, this is just a drop in the bucket.
Qingshi followed the respectful waiter to the small courtyard, and saw Hu Hailong leaning on the purple wood soft couch in the living room, sipping wine. Two extremely plump singers were performing hard, one was playing the piano, and the other was singing a little tune. . But Duan Chenxiang and the other three were nowhere to be seen.
Qingshi can't appreciate the 'elegant entertainment' of Wanshanhaiyu, nor does he like Hu Hailong's style. He did not enter the house, but sat down on a stone bench under a snowy nan tree in the courtyard, and then said, "Mr. Hu is in such a good mood!"
"Oops! The boss is here!" Hu Hailong jumped up, ran out to greet him, and said with a smile, "You're finally here. I stay here waiting for you every day, and I'm almost bored to death." After that, he sent him away. The two singers left.
Qingshi waited until the singer and the waiter had walked out of the small courtyard, then asked: "Did Chen Tianye arrange for you to be left here alone to wait for me, while they all went out to play? This is wronging you."
"Yes, it was arranged by the third master." Hu Hailong said, "But this can't be said to be a grievance. There has to be someone left to wait for the third master! The three of them are not just going out to have fun, they also have serious things to do."
"Speaking of doing business," Qingshi said, "You are a local, they are more familiar with the situation than you? Is there a reason for Chen Tianye's arrangement?"
"Yes! The first master is really attentive." Hu Hailong said awkwardly, "Originally, we took turns to stay behind. I had a fight with someone in Wanhua Building that day, and then the third master didn't allow me to go out."
"It seems that when you came to Dongfu City, you fell into a cave of ecstasy," Qingshi said, "You spend most of your time eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling?"
"No, no!" Chen Tianye's voice sounded behind him, "Hu Lao Liu eats, drinks, whores, and gambles. Old Duan and I only drink but don't eat, and only gamble and don't whore. Xiang An But he doesn’t eat, drink, gamble or whore, so he is really a role model for good men in the world!”
Qingshi looked back and saw Duan, Chen and Xiang walking into the yard laughing and joking, and they all greeted Qingshi excitedly.
"What Old Chen said is not entirely right," Duan Wutian said, "Xiang An used to show off in the past, but today he also took a gamble. This guy is very cunning, and he only takes action when he sees the right time, which has caused great harm to me and Old Chen." What a terrible loss.”
"I see you two are as excited as chicken blood," Qingshi said to Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye, "It doesn't look like you lost money!"
"I lost to Xiang An in the gambling battle," Duan Wutian said with a smile, "But I beat the Golden Gou Gambling House in the lucky card gambling. Overall, I still made a lot of spiritual stones, hahaha... ..What does it mean to get chicken blood?"
"It's not interesting." Qingshi frowned and said, "You indulged in drinking and sex in the Great Mirage Kingdom, but you didn't expect to indulge in gambling when you came to the Zhengxu Kingdom..."
"Boss, I misunderstood!" Xiang An hurriedly interrupted Qingshi and explained with a smile, "Lao Chen and Lao Duan bet every day, but they only bet during battles. Didn't we all play like this before? Today they lost in the fight. He gave it to me, so he went to the Golden Hook Casino in a fit of anger, and ended up killing everyone and returning victorious. If you talk about gambling in a casino, today is indeed the only time."
"Yes, boss!" Chen Tianye said, "Lao Duan and I left the Great Mirage Kingdom just because we were afraid that we would indulge in drinking and sex and delay our cultivation. How could we be addicted to gambling again? We have been practicing hard for a month, and we have not dared to relax even a day. But you also know that when Lao Duan and I compete, we always have to bet on some winnings. Isn’t this an exaggeration?”
"Well!" Qingshi finally smiled, "That's more like it! Now you know that wine and sex can mislead people, right? You two could easily defeat Xiang An before, but today you were beaten by him... That's not right! Drinking and sex can hurt you. It’s not like this in person, right?”
"Of course not!" Duan Wutian shouted, "Although we are a little ridiculous in the Great Mirage Kingdom, we will not really hurt the soul and affect the combat effectiveness. Besides, in the past month or so, I After taking the spirit fruit, I and Lao Chen have both improved their cultivation levels, and their combat power has improved greatly!"
"That?" Qingshi asked in surprise, "Has Lao Xiang also taken medicine?"
"Most likely!" Chen Tianye said, "Boss, what magic medicine did you give him? This guy used to be like a weakling, but today he showed off his power and was very aggressive! Lao Duan and I took turns fighting him , they were all defeated!"
Not long ago, Qingshi gave Chen Tianye a Holy Fire Fruit and Duan Wutian a piece of Earth Spirit Crystal, but Xiang An and Hu Hailong did not give them. Therefore, Qingshi knew that Xiang An's sudden increase in combat power was probably not due to the magical medicine and spirit fruit. He just made a few jokes and asked casually. Qingshi was confused and turned to look at Xiang An.
"I don't need to take any medicine!" Xiang An said with a proud smile, "The boss is partial and has never given me any magic fruit medicine."
"That's right!" Hu Hailong muttered, "Me neither."
"You two, please don't worry about my spirit fruit." Qingshi said, "You are also masters of cultivation above the golden elixir realm. This spirit fruit only serves to assist in cultivation. If you want to be strong in combat, you have to rely on your own hard training. , Don’t you understand such a simple truth?”
"Understood~" the two of them said together, but their expressions were quite disapproving. Natural treasures can often get twice the result with half the effort in practice, and they will not be fooled by bluestone.
"It's good that you understand!" Qingshi pretended not to see the resentful looks in Xiang Hu's eyes and said, "Since Lao Xiang can defeat Brother Seven and Amano, let's fight Lao Hu again."
Qingshi roughly guessed why Xiang An suddenly became so powerful, and asked him to fight Hu Hailong just to see if it was as he expected.
Hu Hailong smiled and said: "When it comes to fighting, apart from the first master and the second master, you three are no match for me!"
"Stop bragging!" Xiang An said, "I think Hu Laoliu, apart from practicing longer and having a higher level of Qi, your martial arts and martial arts are really ordinary. If you fight me, you will definitely lose." Xiang An Apparently it swelled after winning the battle.
"Okay!" Hu Hailong said excitedly, "Let's go to the martial arts field now and have a good time. The bet is at least 50,000 high-grade spiritual stones to start!"
Soon, the five leaders of the Xuanhu Gang arrived at a remote farm outside the city and walked into a large, seemingly dilapidated warehouse. Xiang An bought this farm not long ago.
"This is your martial arts performance ground?" Qingshi asked, "You just fight and compete here every day?"
"Yes!" Xiang An said, "It's not good to practice martial arts in a hotel. It would attract attention and break those luxurious decorations. In the first few days, the three of them were competing in the small courtyard. As a result, I broke other people's doors, windows and furnishings, and lost a lot of money. That's why I found such a good place. You see, I also set up a defensive circle. I was not afraid of damaging the house or myself, whatever. It doesn’t matter how you fight.”
Xiang An said and waved his hand, and saw a faint energy barrier emerging along the wall of the tall and empty warehouse.
Duan Wutian said: "Lao Xiang's formation technique is quite good. That day I kicked Shao Huzi away and hit the wall. As a result, he was bounced back slightly without even losing a hair. Well! I Look, this protective effect is better than the trial room of Tianxuan Academy!"
Chen Tianye was speechless and rolled his eyes at him.
"Yes!" Qingshi nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's right! Lao Xiang's methods are indeed brilliant! Then what are you waiting for? Let the fight begin!"
"Wait a minute!" Chen Tianye laughed, "I haven't placed my bet yet!"
"That's right!" Duan Wutian said, "Also, how are you two going to fight?"
"Lao Xiang and I haven't fought yet!" Hu Hailong said, "It's better, let's fight directly, compete in fists and kicks, and decide who wins or loses!"
"No problem!" Xiang An smiled, "How to calculate the bet?"
"Old rules!" Chen Tianye said, "Everyone present agrees on the size of the bet, and then each buys the winner or loser. In the end, the winner only needs to share the loser's spirit stones equally."
Everyone unanimously agreed to place a bet of 50,000 high-grade spiritual stones, so they each placed their bets to guess the winner. Qing Duan and Chen each bought the person they liked, while Xiang An and Hu Hailong could only bet on themselves to win.
