Chapter 263: Gambling

~8 min read 1,511 words

Two hundred years!

Time is like a horse with a whip, days and months like falling flowers and flowing water.

Many people have no deep concept of the passage of time.

If calculated from Liang Qu himself, each generation has children at twenty-five.

A lifespan of two hundred years means he can easily see the birth of his eighth-generation descendant and hear his descendants call him the distant ancestor.

For an ordinary family to live to four generations under one roof is already a remarkable auspicious sign.

It proves that the family foundation is rich, the strong labor force is sufficient, the elderly don't need to work to be worry-free about food and clothing, there is no hardship of labor, no harsh taxes, so they are long-lived.

But between the distant ancestor and the great-grandfather, there are four generations: the great-great-grandfather, the great-great-great-grandfather, the heaven-ancestor, and the high-ancestor!

Of course, twenty-five is too early.

If the two hundred years are equated with the growth stages of mortals, Liang Qu's youth period will be more than doubled!

Thirty standing firm will become sixty or even seventy.

Most of the pressures in the world come from lifespan!

In a limited lifespan, people need to start a family, establish a career, reproduce offspring, continue the incense, and in the narrow gap of time, earn the resources for all of the above, running around and tiring themselves, making it difficult for themselves.

But once the lifespan is long and prosperous, like Xu Yuelong, who is thirty-six this year and has not yet married or had children, the Xu family is prosperous, and there is no urgency to continue the incense.

He has plenty of time to squander, without having to consider the far-fetched trivial matters of the grandchildren's generation in his prime of thirty-six, and without having to be angry or worried about the incompetence of his descendants.

His own lifespan is long, and the mental relaxation and looseness brought by having plenty of time to use and plenty of time to spend are indescribable.

Liang Qu also knows clearly that two hundred years is not his limit.

Just the Ze Rong made his lifespan so long; what about the Water Wang Yuan?

What about Jiang Zongshi plus Water Wang Yuan?

Wu Sheng lives eight hundred, Jiang Zongshi lives three hundred.

With the two superimposed, he is afraid that he will live longer than a Wu Sheng when he reaches the Perfected Form Jiang Zongshi realm!

Comfortable!

Liang Qu stood up, shrugged his shoulders and back, and his bones exploded.

The sticky blood scabs fell off layer by layer, and the substantial momentum filled the entire room like a tide.

The Jiaji Pass is the center of "momentum," the fifth of the nine orifices, connecting the top and bottom, the central orifice.

Once this orifice is opened, the external changes are the most obvious, far exceeding the other eight orifices.

The entire person's essence, qi, and spirit are completely different.

If the previous Liang Qu was like a big river, with waves and endless tides.

Then now he is the sea without waves, wider and more integrated.

It seems that he is no longer so stormy, but once he is happy and majestic, he is far more dangerous than before!

Liang Qu was satisfied with the effect of the Qilin Great Pill.

As for the other precious plant—Withered and Prosperous Twin Lotus, he couldn't take it for the time being after eating the Qilin Pill.

Taking cephalosporin with alcohol, the more you drink, the more you have.

Even a single great medicine has the risk of being too nourishing and hurting oneself, let alone eating two in a row.

Even if eaten, a lot of medicinal power will definitely dissipate in the conflict of medicinal properties, wasting it in vain.

He probably has to wait ten days or half a month to digest it thoroughly before considering continuing to take it.

The Qilin roar in the bones and meridians converged to almost nothing, and Liang Qu gathered the water film wrapping his whole body.

After merging with the remaining water liquid and reaching out to test, all the water in the vortex orifices was emitting heat.

Just by swallowing a Qilin Great Pill, all eight tons of water in the vortex orifices turned into hot water during the cycle.

Glancing at the room, Awei curled into a blue ball, hiding in the shadow of the corner to avoid the heat.

A black circle was burned on the deck where he sat cross-legged, very uniform, as if a large firecracker had been placed in the cabin.

Liang Qu reached out and scraped the black circle on the ground with his fingernails.

Can't scrape it off.

The black color was a thin layer on the surface of the boat board that had slightly carbonized under high temperature. To eliminate it, only by scraping the entire surface layer clean.

Hmm.

Hope I don't have to pay for it.

Five days later.

Three suns hung in the sky, and the entire Great Marsh was shining with dazzling white light.

The scorching river wind whistled past, passing through the island, like facing a furnace.

On the deck of the building ship, the soldiers were shirtless, their skin glowing with a layer of crimson under the scorching sun.

Under the high temperature, even if they didn't do anything, just being exposed would make them sweat.

Ke Wenbin and the others were also half-naked, bathing in the sun, with a layer of oil on their wheat-colored, strong bodies.

Xiang Fang Su held a long spear in his hand, pointed at a large island in the distance, stood on the railing, and shouted loudly.

"Say it again, I will throw this spear to the highest island opposite.

Whoever brings the spear back first will be rewarded with a pot of wine, three bottles of qi-replenishing pills, three precious fish, ten cockscomb fruits, and a hundred strings of money!

I don't care if you steal! Rob! Or cheat!

As long as you don't see blood, do whatever you want. Do you hear me!?"

"Understood!!"

The sound of more than a hundred people shouting together was deafening.

Those who didn't participate were also infected, waving their arms along, eager to try.

The days waiting for the black smoke to dissipate were inevitably boring.

Especially on the scorching Binghuo day, one always had to find a way to release everyone's energy and have something to do.

Thus, the scene before them appeared naturally.

The rewards of three bottles of qi-replenishing pills, three precious fish, ten cockscomb fruits, and a hundred strings of money were not ungenerous, and it was a good opportunity to show their strength to their superiors, so there were many participants.

One round every morning, one round every afternoon, and occasionally when they were in the mood, there would be one at night.

The first day, Xu Yuelong threw the spear himself, and for the next few days, Xiang Fang Su and the others did it on his behalf.

It added some competitive fun to the boring life on the ship.

Wei Lin's side was about the same, just with slightly different competition content.

"Good! You are the good men of my River Po Office!"

Xiang Fang Su laughed long, jumped onto the deck, without needing a running start, leaned back, and threw the long spear fiercely.

The deck shook, a ball of white gas exploded in the air, and the long spear painted with red lacquer disappeared instantly.

Before the shadow of the spear could be captured, a deep pit suddenly exploded on the cliff of the high island in the distance.

Cracks on the rock wall scattered like spider webs, and the broken stones rolled down along the mountain wall and fell into the Great Marsh.

More than a hundred martial artists looked at the big pit and roared, jumping into the water like dumplings.

Patches of white waves appeared on the water surface, hundreds of people swam fast, fighting for their lives to rush forward, trying to be the first.

The finless porpoises joining in the fun followed the game, some even deliberately running to the front to wait and tease the martial artists.

Xiang Fang Su cheered on the deck, the entire deck was noisy, and even Liang Qu was infected by this atmosphere.

Of course, he wouldn't go down and grab it with everyone.

Everyone knew that he had competed in swimming with the Sixth-Rank Water Balance Envoy Wei Shao and won; it wouldn't sound good if he went down to fight for small profits.

The martial artists in the water swam extremely fast, and the leader pulled a distance of nearly two hundred meters from those behind.

They swam for several miles in a row, climbed onto the cliff, and the fastest one rushed onto the cliff like an ape.

Just as he was about to pull out the long spear, he was stunned and pointed into the distance.
