This was the first time Luo Chen saw Mi Shuhua.
That is the old man Mi that Qin Liangchen calls, the leader of the Poshan Gang.
He has a full head of hair and a round face. Although he has wrinkles, his face is full of red. Combined with his big belly, he looks like a smiling Maitreya Buddha.
If placed in the mortal world, he would look just like an ordinary rich man.
But Luo Chen, and even all the casual cultivators in Dahefang knew that the other party was by no means as friendly as he seemed.
As we all know, building the foundation is the first difficulty on the road to spiritual practice.
This world is rich in products and has abundant spiritual energy in the world. Logically speaking, it is very easy to break through this difficulty.
However, there is only one monk in a million who can successfully build the foundation.
Only sect monks can build foundations relatively easily.
The reason is that the refining method of the Foundation Establishment Pill is in the hands of the big sect.
Even if the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill is occasionally revealed, it will be snatched back by the major sects at all costs.
Even if Dan Fang cannot take it back, the person still has to take it back, whether alive or dead.
Therefore, if ordinary cultivators want to build a foundation, unless they have another chance, they can only crave for the foundation-building pills leaked from major sects every year.
However, the appearance of every foundation-building pill often causes all kinds of troubles.
At auctions, foundation-building pills with sky-high prices abound.
Therefore, there are many casual cultivators in Dahefang City, but after so many years, there are still very few foundation-building cultivators.
In the past hundred years, monks have come and gone, and only two foundation-building monks have appeared in Dahefang.
Mi Shuhua is one of them.
After achieving foundation building, he became the leader of the Broken Mountain Gang.
This person is very generous and kind to low-level monks. He is not stingy in helping young monks who can't live their lives anymore.
Even if some monks died in the mountains, he would try his best to accommodate their families.
It is also true that people's hearts are gradually shrinking.
Under his leadership, the alliance of poor casual cultivators who originally only earned resources for cultivation in the mountains gradually grew stronger.
Up to now, the Poshan Gang has become the largest force in Dahefang besides the six major sects.
There are over a hundred monks in the late stage of Qi Refining in the gang, and over a thousand in the middle stage, and there are countless low-level casual cultivators who make a living by doing things for them.
For example, Luo Chen actually had a lot of credit from the Poshan Gang when he refined the Bigu Pill.
Those monks who often go to the mountains have the highest demand for Bigu Pill.
Outside the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion, Mi Shuhua led hundreds of people around a huge jade bi.
He did not care about the thousands of onlookers outside, pointed at the piece of jade, and said loudly: "In this battle, I hope you will work together to defeat your opponent."
"The winner will have full possession of the spoils, and I, Mi Shuhua, will not take any cents from it."
"The families of those who died in the war can be entrusted to me. If there are any spiritual heirs, I will do my best to cultivate them into monks."
"In addition, if we win this battle, I will take out a Foundation Building Pill and reward it to everyone. Of course, there is only one, so whoever refines the ninth level of Qi first will be given it to him."
"And once that person achieves Foundation Establishment, I will work with him and try my best to earn Foundation Establishment Pills for the others."
"We, the Poshan Gang, only want to break through the mountains blocking the path to immortality and achieve everyone's foundation!"
When these words came out, hundreds of monks from the Poshan Gang seemed to have known about it for a long time, and they shouted in unison: "This battle will be won!"
The people watching outside were shocked.
Mi Shuhua actually had a Foundation Building Pill in his hand.
Moreover, he was willing to take it out and give it to others.
What a big deal indeed!
Similarly, they also discussed various promises made by Mi Shuhua.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh that Mi Shuhua was indeed very grand. No wonder he could be recognized by Brother Wang Yuan and Brother Qin to follow him.
He glanced at the monks of the Broken Mountain Gang and saw that they were all excited, as if they wanted everyone to go up and fight.
Wang Yuan was among them, his eyes cold.
Qin Liangchen and Murong Qinglian were also among them, showing no fear.
Hey, fellow Taoist Zeng is actually among them, and he is the one closest to the center of Mi Shuhua's circle.
Listening to other people's comments, Zeng Wen was the "sick tiger" among the Seven Tigers of Broken Mountain.
Just when he was curious, there was a roar from the passage next to the jade.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, the door was slowly opened.
A long white passage opened, and seven foundation-building monks stood in front of the door with calm expressions.
Another Foundation Builder walked out of it, and it turned out to be Deacon Miao Zhen, the person in charge of the Sword Pavilion that the Dahefang monks were familiar with.
He said some polite words and then stepped out of the way.
Mi Shuhua did not hesitate and entered first with the nine late-stage Qi Refining monks.
The rest of the gang either took out their tickets and jade pendants to enter the passage, or took out a specially made iron plate, and after being inspected, they also walked in.
Looking at the iron medals, Luo Chen blinked. He seemed to have one too.
After all the members of the Poshan Gang entered, the rest of the casual cultivators approached the huge jade.
They were not in a hurry to go in, because everyone knew that the way they participated in this opening ceremony was different from the people of the Poshan Gang.
"This is the list of the Eighteen Death Fighters. I have been waiting for several days."
"Let me see who is fighting who, so that I can place my bets."
"Based on my experience of living in Dahefang for fifty years, I know most of the masters of both groups. It's clear who wins and who loses!"
There are nine battle lists in total, listed from one to nine.
Such a large-scale battle in the late stage of Qi refining is usually not seen easily, so everyone is very concerned about it.
But as soon as they gathered around, someone screamed in surprise.
"Who is this Min Longyu? Is there anyone like this in the Dajiang Gang?"
"And this Bai Qi, I have never heard of this person's name."
"Yang Rusheng? I seem to have heard this name somewhere. No, isn't he a casual cultivator from Tianyefang? When did he join the Dajiang Gang?"
"Shameless, the Dajiang Gang actually looks for foreign aid."
"After all, it's our local gang, but they actually use foreign aid to fight. Isn't this a foul?"
foul?
Of course not!
The first rules disclosed only limited the realm, but never restricted both parties from finding foreign aid.
It's just that the Poshan Gang chose to let the gang's masters who know the inside and out of the situation join the battle.
The relatively weak Dajiang Gang managed to win over four casual cultivators from other places.
There are one or two that everyone has heard of occasionally, and the other two don’t even know where they come from.
But reviling is reviling. For dog gamblers, guessing the outcome of the battle is the most important thing.
"No matter where it comes from, it cannot escape the limitations of the Qi Refining Stage, so it still depends on your own methods."
"Yes, in this way, if you want to win five and lose four, the order of battles is particularly important."
"The first battle is a good start. Both sides are going to make a killing move. Let me see who makes the move."
"Han Dang, the Heart-Eating Tiger, the leader of the Seven Mountain-breaking Tigers, isn't this a sure win? I'll just go for it!"
"Brother, are you so brave? You have to be smart when betting. Do you know what Han Dang's opponent, Min Longyu, can do?"
"Haha, you know nothing. Who is Han Dang? He is a person who has reached the ninth level of Qi refining and can break through the foundation at any time. That Min Long Yugui knows that the one with the horn bump is his opponent. Wisdom? Stud Ha is it. wisdom!"
During the discussion, Luo Chen used his spiritual eye technique and read through the battle list and order.
The first battle, the fifth battle, and the final ninth battle are undoubtedly the three most important duels.
I am afraid that neither side will give up these three games and will definitely send the strongest in the team.
The heart-eating tiger Han Dang faced off against Min Longyu, the broken sword Xu Renke faced off against the Hunjiang dragon Gao Tingyuan, and the mad sword Wang Yuan faced Xiao Wuyan.
Seeing these three candidates, Luo Chen's eyelids jumped wildly.
He was actually familiar with most of the characters participating in the last two games.
Is Brother Wang actually so strong? He was ranked at the bottom of the box by Mi Shuhua.
Gao Tingyuan's participation in the war was inevitable, but he seemed to be unlucky and was assigned to Xu Renke.
The name of Broken Sword is higher than that of the Heart-Eating Tiger, the head of the Seven Tigers. He has a mighty fighting power, and he is truly invincible at the same level as in Qi Refining.
It would be great if he died on the forum.
It’s decided, he, Luo Chen, is now a ten-year-old fan of Broken Knife Xu Renke, and will support it like crazy when the time comes!
Just when the thought was flashing in his mind, ticket sales and inspections had begun at the gate of Lundaotai.
Some monks who had placed bets walked into the passage impatiently.
"Don't worry about it for now, go buy a ticket!"
"Only 10,000 tickets were sold in total. After deducting the free family tickets for the two groups of spectators, there is not much left."
"Give me one, it's one hundred spirit stones!"
Ten thousand tickets, even if some free tickets are deducted, there are still more than nine thousand.
Not much else to say about Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion. Just from this opening ceremony, you can earn nearly one million spiritual stones from the tickets!
This is not to mention various income from trade fairs, auctions, and gambling stalls.
Luo Chen wandered around patiently, sometimes taking a look at the gambling stalls, and sometimes listening to people discussing who would win and who would lose under the jade biscuit.
This feeling is just like watching the World Cup in the previous life. Fans compared the players of the two teams one by one.
From defense to offense, from overall outlook to personal skills, and even murderous looks, we can all talk about it.
Hey, don’t tell me, the atmosphere is pretty good!
Time passed quickly, and hundreds of people from the Dajiang Gang arrived midway.
But they didn't stop at all, just glanced at the jade, and then walked in.
Luo Chen focused on the discussed Hunjiang Dragon Gao Tingyuan.
It was a short man with a fierce aura.
They looked completely different from the poor man Gao Ting'e who he killed, making it difficult to doubt that they were biological brothers.
Gao Tingyuan may have seen his opponent's name, so he looked very unhappy.
But he couldn't have a seizure.
Ranking in the key position of fifth shows that the boss Wang Haichao highly recognizes his strength and hopes that he will win a game for the gang.
Could he still show his cowardice?
In this regard, Luo Chen could only say "a good death"!
After the monks entered one by one, and even some foundation-building monks entered, there were still many people watching outside.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the jade, waiting for the opening ceremony of Lundaotai to begin.
Because the people from the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion said that this jade biscuit has been imbued with the Water Mirror Technique, and the scene inside will be simultaneously transmitted when the time comes.
It is said that in order to maintain the water mirror technique, the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion also arranged for two foundation-building monks to perform it in turns.
Of course, there are also some people who are sad that they did not buy tickets to enter Yujue.
After all, the Jade Water Mirror Technique can only transmit sight, without any sound.
But the list of shows that was revealed said that there are also singing and dancing performances!
Just when it was full of people and noisy.
Suddenly a person raised his arms and shouted.
"My little brother has an emergency at home. I want to resell a ticket. The one with the highest price will get it!"
