Mr. Gong originally thought that Xu Chunniang would be very depressed if she lost the competition.
Who would have thought that when he went to see her, she was leisurely holding her identity token and passing the message leisurely, seemingly unaffected.
Mr. Gong kept all the words he had prepared in advance in his heart, and in the end he just spoke.
"It doesn't matter if you lose occasionally. Don't take it to heart."
After Xu Chunniang finished dealing with the stewardship, she put down her identity token, raised her head and looked at Mr. Gong with a smile.
"I know, it's just that I lost a battle, it's nothing. Mr. Gong should have made a lot of immortal crystals this time, right?"
Thinking of the two thousand Immortal Crystals he lost, Elder Gong's chest ached.
He took a sharp breath, smiled unnaturally, nodded and said, "I made it, I made it."
Although Xu Chunniang felt that Mr. Gong's expression was a bit strange, she didn't think much about it and nodded happily, "Just make money."
Mr. Gong suddenly felt that compared to Xu Yatou who did not take the result of this competition to heart, he who lost two thousand immortal crystals was the one who needed comfort.
He wordlessly took out the wine gourd and took a big gulp of wine.
The refreshing aroma of wine calmed his mood a lot.
"You fainted in the ring just now, are you not injured?"
"A few minor injuries, nothing to worry about."
"What about... the magic of speaking?"
Elder Gong asked tentatively, "I heard that excessive use of this technique will not only damage longevity, but also cause varying degrees of weakness. I don't know if it will affect your next fight."
Xu Chunniang stroked her forehead and said, "My life span has indeed been reduced, but I stopped early. I only burned five hundred years of my life span. My head is a little dizzy. It may be that my spiritual consciousness has been consumed too much. I should rest for a few days and I will be fine." .”
Elder Gong couldn't help but was speechless, "From the time when your body's immortal energy was exhausted to when you lost the match, in less than a stick of incense, you actually burned five hundred years of life. Isn't this spiritual magic too terrifying?"
Xu Chunniang was calm about this.
The stronger the opponent's cultivation level, the more lifespan will be burned when using the Spiritual Speaking Technique.
"Shi Lin is a human immortal. If you want to communicate with heaven and earth with the power of speech and spirit, and kill him with the power of law, you will have to pay a higher price."
Elder Gong thought thoughtfully, looking at it this way, the magic of speaking spirits was not as strong as everyone thought.
Once the spirit-talking technique fails to work, it is easy to be at a disadvantage.
No wonder Shao Guang, as a member of the Yanling clan, rarely uses this trick. He finally understood.
The two chatted for a while, and after confirming that Xu Chunniang was not affected in any way, Mr. Gong said goodbye.
"Since you have nothing to do, I will go back to Zhangwei Mountain first."
"Okay, Mr. Gong, walk slowly."
Not long after Gong Laogang left, the courtyard door was knocked again. This time it was Manager Tang from the front hall.
Xu Chunniang had dealt with this Manager Tang several times. When she applied for a five-month truce period, she had negotiated with this Manager Tang.
When Manager Tang walked into the courtyard, his expression was not very good, and he seemed to be asking for help.
"Xianzi Xu, what do you mean by what you just said in the summons?"
Xu Chunniang had long expected that Manager Tang might come to visit, but she didn't expect that he would come so early.
She seemed not to see the other person's face, and her tone was indifferent and even a little careless.
"I meant what I said literally. Is this a trivial matter worthy of a special trip by Manager Tang?"
Manager Tang suppressed his anger and said patiently.
"Xianzi Xu, you made a special trip to me to apply for a five-month truce period, and even improved a small level. As a result, you lost the first battle when you returned to the arena. Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation for this?"
"What Guanshi Tang said makes no sense. I tried my best against Shi Lin, but my skills were inferior to others. I lost to him. There is nothing to explain."
"Xu Chunniang, do you know how much impact losing this battle will have on the fighting arena, and how much of a blow it will cause to your reputation?"
Seeing her disapproval, Manager Tang became even more angry.
"The fighting arena treats you well, and even specially increases your bet amount. You must do everything you can to win!"
“The increase in the betting limit was in exchange for my playing three more games per month. When I signed the contract, it was written clearly.
Manager Tang has a bad memory. Do you want me to help you recall it? "
The smile on Xu Chunniang's face gradually turned cold, "As for the battle, I have tried my best. From what Manager Tang said, could it be that you want me to burn my lifespan and waste it with Shi Lin?"
Manager Tang choked. He didn't want to offend anyone too much, so he softened his tone.
"An immortal's life span is one hundred and twenty thousand years. You have the art of speaking and spirituality. As long as you can win, what's the point of burning a little life span?
You must have earned a lot of fairy crystals in the fighting arena some time ago. If you can beat Stone Forest, you will earn a lot of fairy crystals. "
"Manager Tang's request is really too much. My spiritual skills are not invincible. I have exhausted my spiritual consciousness and my head still hurts."
Xu Chunniang's tone was light, "You can't risk your life just for a little fairy crystal. Besides, there are winners and losers in a competition, don't you think so, Mr. Tang?"
Manager Tang laughed, "It's just burning a little longevity, there's no point in risking your life, Fairy Xu has said it before."
"Really? It's strange to say that other fighters who have just been promoted will not encounter very strong opponents in their first fight after promotion. How come I meet a master of Shi Lin's level as soon as I advance?
Is this a coincidence...or is someone deliberately arranging for me to confront Shi Lin? "
Manager Tang's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and pretended to hold the teacup, avoiding Xu Chunniang's eyes.
"What did Fairy Xu say? Fighters will be randomly selected to compete in the arena. Who can do anything that is well known here?"
Xu Chunniang smiled softly, "Who knows? I just saw that the arena was packed with people, and I just felt it.
After all, the stronger the opponent, the more people can be attracted to watch and place bets, right? "
"Haha, with Fairy Xu's popularity, no matter who your opponent is, there will be many people willing to pay."
As he spoke, Manager Tang changed the subject and shook his head regretfully.
"It's a pity that you lost today. I'm afraid you will disappoint those who came here specifically for you, and your reputation will be greatly reduced and it will never be the same as before.
Doesn’t Fairy Xu regret it? You had a chance to win. "
"Guanshi Tang has praised me. Everyone saw my battle with Shi Lin. My strength is not as good as others. I am convinced that I lost. Even if we try it again, I am not sure that I can win."
Manager Tang continued to make insinuations, and after confirming that Xu Chunniang was not concealing her strength, he finally stopped testing her.
"Actually, I am saying all this for your sake. Many of Fairy Xu's methods have been exposed to the public and are known to everyone. I'm afraid it will not be good for your next battle."
