When Zhou Shan said the words "Spiritual Eye Orb", all the senior officials of Tiannan College changed their colors in the main hall.
Even Gu Xuanji's pupils shrank and his face froze slightly.
The "Spiritual Eye Orb" is the source of Tiannan College's spiritual spring. It not only has the miraculous effect of purifying the spiritual power of heaven and earth, but can also perfectly integrate the spiritual power with the water source and turn it into the unique "Lingquan Waterfall" in the back mountain.
This treasure has been around since the founding of Tiannan College. After thousands of years, Tiannan College has cultivated countless strong men. It is no less precious than the mountain and river flags.
Even when it comes to the benefits of this thing to a martial arts academy, it is much more than the mountain and river flags. It is almost one of the foundations of Tiannan Academy.
Seeing that Zhou Shan actually wanted Gu Xuanji to use this thing as a "bet", the faces of the senior officials of Tiannan College in the hall became a little ugly.
Before Gu Xuanji could say anything, the head of Wu Palace, the old woman with gorgeous hair, already had a solemn look on her face.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, not to mention that this spiritual eye orb is of great significance to our Tiannan College and should not be touched lightly.
Let’s just say that although this mountain and river flag from your sect is extremely valuable, compared with the “Spiritual Eye Orb” from our academy, I’m afraid it’s still quite lacking. "
Hearing this, Zhou Shan had a smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Lu's words are not unreasonable. If that's the case, then I'll just add one more thing!"
After saying that, Zhou Shan raised his hand and saw a blue light shooting into the air from his broad sleeves.
The next moment, a large seal about a foot square, completely blue, floated next to the mountain and river flags.
The surface of this square seal is carved with exquisite water wave patterns, and above the large seal is a green unicorn jade sculpture.
Qilin stepped on the turbulent waves, held a crystal ball that was constantly flowing in his mouth, and released soft blue brilliance all over his body.
This object and the yellow-colored mountain and river flags are suspended above the main hall. The pure water attribute energy condensed on its surface is only slightly weaker than that of the mountain and river flags, so it is obviously also a valuable treasure.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this situation. Gu Xuanji shrank his eyes again and said in a condensed voice.
"Blue Water Qilin Seal!"
The object that Zhou Shan was offering sacrifices at this moment was actually a high-level spiritual soldier who was well-known in Tianyuan Academy and had reached the pinnacle of seventh grade.
"Fellow Ancient Taoist, these two treasures combined, can we compare them with the "Spiritual Eye Orb" in your courtyard?"
"this……"
Gu Xuanji also did not expect that Zhou Shan would take out two important treasures as bets one after another, and it was difficult to respond for a moment.
Palace Master Lu, who had spoken previously, also changed his expression at this moment and said hurriedly.
"Vice Dean, the Spiritual Eye Orb is of great importance. We must not agree to use it as a bet."
Murong Shu, the master of the Criminal Law Hall who looked as handsome as a young man, also nodded.
"Yes, if we really want to make a bet, we can exchange for other treasures."
After hearing this, the smile on Zhou Shan's face faded slightly, and his eyes narrowed even more.
Without him opening his mouth, where he started, the two mountain masters from Tianyuan Academy secretly looked at each other.
Immediately, the middle-aged man snorted coldly.
“Hmph, is this how Tiannan College treats guests?
Since your hospital feels that the treasures we took out are not of sufficient weight, now Vice President Zhou has taken out two important treasures one after another, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
But at this moment, your court refuses and wants to use something else as a bet. Is this a deliberate move to tease us? "
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly stiffened, and the faces of Gu Xuanji and others were also a little ugly.
At this moment, another mountain master from Tianyuan College, a beautiful woman named Dong, spoke again.
"Master Yao Shan, don't blame Tiannan College for shirk. After all, this spiritual eye orb is something they have passed down for thousands of years.
Presumably, the Taoist friends of Tiannan College are just afraid that they cannot afford to lose, so they refuse to gamble. "
After hearing this, the senior officials of Tiannan College in the hall finally couldn't sit still, their expressions changed, and even Gu Xuanji's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
However, everyone at Tiannan College has not yet waited for an attack.
Zhou Shan, who had always been smiling, his smile faded, and his face suddenly looked at the two of them seriously.
"Master Dong Shan, Master Yao, Tianyuan College and Tiannan College have been in good relationship for hundreds of years, and my ancient Taoist friends and I have been friends for many years. How can you two be so rude and offensive?
Based on my friendship with the ancient Taoist friend, I would never be offended if he really went back on his word.
What's more, the ancient fellow Taoist has not yet made a decision and is just discussing with several fellow Taoists. How can you two be disrespectful? "
Zhou Shan's rebuke made both Dong and Yao look stunned.
Immediately, Master Dongshan stood up with an apologetic look on his face and saluted Gu Xuanji and others.
"Vice President Gu, fellow Taoists, I just made a mistake. I would like to apologize to you for my fault. I hope you will forgive me."
Seeing this, Master Yao Shan stood up in embarrassment, bowed his hands to Gu Xuanji and others, and apologized to everyone.
The series of reactions of Zhou Shan and the two mountain masters Dong and Yao were natural and smooth, and did not seem to be fake at all.
It seemed that he had made a joke that was disrespectful to others, but it cleverly stimulated the senior officials of Tiannan College without giving them a chance to react.
Seeing the smooth "performance" of these people, Gu Xuanji's eyes flickered slightly, already knowing it well.
With his vicious eyes, how could he not see that the other party's performance of singing along was nothing more than an attempt to force himself to take out the "Spiritual Eye Orb" as a bet.
When facing Zhou Shan and others, he blamed himself and apologized.
Although they knew that the other party was putting on a show, the senior leaders of Tiannan College, as the masters, were not in a position to speak harshly.
But if he still chooses to gamble with other treasures at this moment, it seems that Tiannan College lacks courage and is really afraid of Tianyuan College.
For a moment, all the senior officials of Tiannan College looked at each other and were a little undecided.
In the end, everyone's eyes turned to Gu Xuanji, and only he had the final say here.
Facing the gazes of everyone, Gu Xuanji withdrew his gaze at this moment and sat there calmly, silent for a long time.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Shan's eyes sparkled, but he smiled again.
"Friends of the ancient Taoism, there is no need to be embarrassed. As the saying goes, guests do as they please. If your house is unwilling to bet on the "Spiritual Eye Orb", just exchange it for something else.
Please don't let this cause any dispute among you, otherwise I will be committing a serious sin. "
After hearing the other party's words of "explicit encouragement and covert stimulation", Gu Xuanji's expression remained unchanged and he smiled lightly.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou is joking. Your college is willing to put up such a heavy treasure as a bet. As the host, I, Tiannan College, will be my courtesy and use the spiritual eye orb as a bet."
Hearing this, the eyes of Zhou Shan and the senior officials of Tianyuan Academy suddenly brightened.
However, Gu Xuanji suddenly changed the subject.
"However... although I am the vice president of Tiannan College, the Spiritual Eye Orb is a treasure left by the first generation of presidents. It is controlled by successive presidents of our college. This has been a rule of the college that has not changed for thousands of years.
If fellow Taoist Zhou wants to bet on this treasure with our academy, I can ask the dean for instructions on my behalf.
His old man is currently in seclusion in the back mountain, and it is inconvenient to see guests. I can send someone to the back mountain to consult the dean's opinion.
If the dean agrees, the bet can be concluded. If not, I can gamble with fellow Taoist Zhou with other treasures. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Tianyuan Academy couldn't help but look at each other. Zhou Shan, who was smiling, also had a slightly stiff smile.
Before coming here, they had already reached a tacit understanding, and they spent so much effort on today's banquet just to force each other to take out the "Spiritual Eye Orb" as a bet.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xuanji came with a "four or two thousand catties", and directly took advantage of the situation and threw the ownership of the Spiritual Eye Orb to the dean of Tiannan College.
In this way, everyone simply put on a good show for the "blind man" to watch, which was of no use at all.
The dean of the other party had never met them before, so whether they agreed or not all depended on one sentence. Even if they disagreed, they could only hold their noses and admit it.
The other party can even say that the dean is in retreat and cannot get in touch with them, so he can directly push them away.
"Well……"
Zhou Shan touched his nose, maintaining a stiff smile on his face, his mind racing, wanting to say something else.
Gu Xuanji secretly winked, and Palace Master Lu beside him stood up knowingly and spoke directly.
"Everyone, wait a moment. I will go to the back mountain in person and ask for instructions from the dean!"
After that, no matter how Zhou Shan and others reacted, Palace Master Lu transformed into a red light and flew out of the palace.
Seeing this situation, everyone in Tianyuan Academy couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts. It seemed that there was no hope of getting the "Spiritual Eye Orb" this time.
Otherwise, if Tianyuan College obtains this valuable treasure, it will be able to build a "Lingquan Waterfall" and perform spiritual river initiation for the college's disciples.
In this way, the strength of the college will definitely be further improved, and the chance of impacting the first-class colleges will be greater.
On the contrary, everyone in Tiannan College felt relieved at this moment.
The Spiritual Eye Orb is of great importance and there must be no room for error. As long as it is not used as a bet, Tiannan College can afford to bet on other treasures.
Everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, and it was no longer possible to maintain the previous harmonious atmosphere, and it became very quiet.
About half an hour passed, a red light flashed in the palace, and a figure appeared. Palace Master Lu had already left and returned.
Everyone's expressions changed, and Gu Xuanji looked at each other calmly and asked.
"Palace Master Lu, Dean, has he ever responded?"
Facing everyone's gaze, Palace Master Lu's expression looked a little strange.
After hesitating for a moment, she said something that shocked everyone present.
"The dean... agreed to use the "Spiritual Eye Orb" as a bet."
"What!"
The senior officials of Tiannan College in the hall were all shocked, and even everyone in Tianyuan College had expressions of astonishment on their faces.
"Dean really responded like this?" Gu Xuanji asked with a slight frown.
Palace Master Lu nodded.
"The dean said, if the disciples of Tiannan College can't even protect their own foundation, what's the use of keeping this treasure?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was slightly shocked.
Although the old dean did not speak, these words made everyone feel an extraordinary aura.
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Xuanji nodded thoughtfully and looked at Zhou Shandao.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, since the dean of our academy has agreed, we must comply and bet on the spiritual eye orb."
After hearing this, Zhou Shan's pupils shrank slightly, unable to conceal his excitement, and he spoke in appreciation.
"As expected of the dean of Tiannan College, he is truly extraordinary, I admire you!
In this case, the bet for this game is decided! "
Gu Xuanji nodded.
"Okay, how about we invite fellow Taoist Zhou and other fellow Taoists to stay in our hospital today and recharge their batteries for the day? We will start the competition early tomorrow morning?"
Hearing this, Zhou Shan smiled and waved his hands.
"Hey...you are so polite, fellow Taoist priest, I have been riding the Feijian all the way here, but I am not tired at all.
As the saying goes, it’s better to choose a day than to hit it. Taking advantage of everyone’s high interest today, you might as well have a competition in the afternoon | "
Looking at Zhou Shan's fat, smiling face, everyone in the Tiannan Academy in the hall couldn't help but grit their teeth slightly.
This guy is obviously afraid that something will change if it is too late, and he can't wait to start the competition.
Gu Xuanji also frowned slightly, knowing that the other party did not want to give him too many opportunities to prepare.
After hesitating for a moment, he remembered the dean's words again, and finally nodded.
"Okay, let's follow what Fellow Daoist Zhou said, let's compete today!"
