Chapter 69: Immortal Beans, Beef, Popcorn!

The Dao Discussion Platform had been open for half a month.

This half month had brought huge changes to Dahefang!

Perhaps to cultivate a fighting atmosphere, or perhaps to stimulate the audience's interest in watching the matches.

In short, the local Yuding Sword Pavilion had brought out a large amount of generous rewards.

For battles against demonic beasts of the same rank, the winner could obtain all the materials of that demonic beast.

For battles between high-level cultivators, the winner could obtain a magic tool that the opponent had bet before the match.

For the local monthly ranking, the top three could even obtain a top-grade magic tool, elixirs, or even cultivation techniques!

Not only that, the Yuding Sword Pavilion flexibly adjusted ticket prices according to the importance of the match, with the lowest ticket price usually being only ten spirit stones.

For those who resold tickets, as long as one was caught, they would have to be locked in the Red Pillar Prison for a month and participate in a battle of the same rank before being released.

It was said that a shameless person had previously resold a 100-spirit-stone ticket for 200.

Someone was an innocent bystander.

The mid-stage Qi Refining battle that Qin Liangchen mentioned was a standard that the local Sword Pavilion had introduced a few days ago.

Dividing Qi Refining cultivators into three levels: early, middle, and late.

If one won a match in the mid-stage cultivator battle, they couldn't obtain the opponent's magic tool, but they could obtain a bottle of Qi-Nourishing Pills bestowed by the Yuding Sword Pavilion, worth 100 spirit stones.

If one maintained the first place in the monthly ranking, they could obtain ten bottles of Qi-Nourishing Pills!

Ten bottles!

That was one hundred pills, enough for three months of uninterrupted cultivation.

For a time, countless loose cultivators scrambled to participate in the Dao Discussion Platform matches!

Many loose cultivators from other places who came to Dahefang half a month ago also stayed behind.

According to them, the newly opened Dao Discussion Platform often gave much higher rewards than the old ones in other places.

These loose cultivators who stayed behind were the main force participating in the matches.

Following Qin Liangchen's gaze, Luo Chen glanced at the huge jade wall.

Besides the rankings, it also listed the matches for today, a full twenty-plus matches.

Today, I'm afraid there will be blood flowing like a river!

Of course, ordinary battles were not death matches; they were stopped at the point of contact, with referees on the side ready to stop them at any time.

It could be said that the Dao Discussion Platform was truly a good place for cultivators to discuss the Dao and practice martial arts.

"Although you don't have many magic tools, they are excellent enough; whether it's the Jade Knife or the Soul-Breaking Nail, they are definitely invincible in the mid-stage of Qi Refining."

"And that hand of yours, casting spells at your fingertips, even I, a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, have to be extremely careful."

"If you add your insidious fighting style, I feel that taking the first place in the monthly ranking is a piece of cake!"

Qin Liangchen's praise flowed out like it didn't cost money.

To this, Luo Chen just rolled his eyes wildly.

"There's no such good thing; with so many matches, others will have long been familiar with your fighting style and magic tools, and you will lose sooner or later."

"Li Zhuoqi of the Li family in Baiyu Valley of Dahefang relied on a top-grade flying sword to dominate the first place for ten days, but wasn't he still kicked down by a loose cultivator from out of town?"

There is no undefeated person in the world; once intelligence is thoroughly studied.

Losing is only a matter of time.

If a mortal enemy finds out and researches various targeted means, it will be a death in the wilderness.

Luo Chen couldn't put himself under the gaze of the masses for that little reward.

Besides, who said that relying on the Dao Discussion Platform to earn spirit stones is just about fighting on it?

Luo Chen walked to the small square opposite the jade wall, where a small stall was set up.

"Xiao Yue, how's business today?"

In front of the stall, a girl of only seventeen or eighteen was squatting there.

Hearing this, her face turned slightly red, and she stood up at once.

With her fingers intertwined, she said shyly, "Seven portions of immortal beans were sold, five portions of beef jerky were sold, thirteen portions of popcorn were sold, and only ten bottles of yellow pear wine were sold. A total of thirty-five spirit stones were earned."

Luo Chen frowned, "I just checked, there are twenty-five matches today, right? There must be at least four or five thousand spectators! How did you only sell so little?"

Xiao Yue tugged at her fingers, almost crying.

Beside him, Qin Liangchen couldn't stand Luo Chen bullying a little girl like this and said, "The cost of ten portions of these little things is less than one spirit stone, and you have the nerve to sell them for one spirit stone each; others are too embarrassed to be this sucker!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. Immortal beans are my exclusive secret recipe, and popcorn is even fried with spiritual rice combined with my unique spell. That yellow pear wine is even more incredible; it was brewed by the father of the former Medicine Hall Master of the Poshan Gang, Leap-Stream Tiger. Which one of them isn't worth one spirit stone per portion!"

Luo Chen argued strongly, his face red and his neck thick, and his saliva was about to spray onto Qin Liangchen's face.

Qin Liangchen was dumbfounded; could it be that he really didn't recognize the real goods?

Xiao Yue pouted, and tears were about to fall.

She was so useless, she couldn't even sell such good things.

Seeing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh.

This Yuan Xiaoyue was the only daughter of the former Medicine Hall Master of the Poshan Gang, Leap-Stream Tiger.

Leap-Stream Tiger died on the Dao Discussion Platform, leaving behind an old father with a broken leg and a little daughter at only the second level of Qi Refining.

Mi Shuhua had promised to take good care of the families of the fallen, but in reality, he just arranged some relatively safe things for them to do in the gang.

Barely enough to make ends meet!

As for wanting to earn spirit stones and buy elixirs, that was too difficult.

In fact, ordinary gang members could only earn a few spirit stones to support their cultivation.

The bulk was taken by the top brass of each hall, and even the Gang Master.

This kind of care was just right; they could survive without making others jealous, but development was absolutely impossible.

During this half month, because he had to familiarize himself with gang affairs and take care of cultivation, Luo Chen simply stopped refining the Myriad Wonders Pills.

It just so happened that under the guise of helping Qin Liangchen, one of the four Elders, restore his state, he escaped some miscellaneous tasks in the gang and brushed his spell proficiency up regardless of everything.

And don't say, it brushed up very fast.

He even got Qin Liangchen's evaluation of "invincible in the mid-stage, can fight the late-stage."

But going in and out of the Dao Discussion Platform every day made him discover a business opportunity.

Not reselling scalper tickets!

But cultivators watching the matches found some battles boring.

As a result, he introduced snacks like immortal beans, popcorn, and beef jerky.

Later, he heard in the Medicine Hall that Leap-Stream Tiger liked to drink a kind of fruit wine brewed by his old father, so he simply contacted the other party to see if he could brew it in large quantities and sell it to him.

The old man didn't refuse, but the only condition was to let him take care of Yuan Xiaoyue.

As for why there was this condition.

It was actually very simple; Luo Chen was barely considered a popular figure in the Poshan Gang recently.

He was a former Protector, a current Elder, and Wang Yuan's little brother.

He was also a good brother and neighbor of another Elder, Qin Liangchen, and called Murong Qinglian, the Master of the Medicine Hall, sister-in-law sweetly every day.

Moreover, the Sick Tiger Zeng Wen from the combat hall would come to Luo Chen's house every few days. Every time the two talked, they were secretive and very intimate!

Tsk tsk, with this kind of interpersonal relationship, anyone who saw it would think Luo Chen had a bright future.

Luo Chen had no objection and simply agreed.

Anyway, he had to find someone to help him sell these snacks.

Yuan Xiaoyue was a girl, soft and weak, pitiful, just right to be a salesperson!

However, it seems now that this decision was a bit reluctant.

Yuan Xiaoyue had lived too well under the protection of her father, Leap-Stream Tiger, and her personality was too soft.

After sighing, Luo Chen waved his hand.

Yuan Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, let go of the stall position, and Luo Chen stood there.

Qin Liangchen was puzzled about what the other party meant.

The next moment, he turned red and hid in a quiet place.

"Popcorn, yellow pear wine! Beef jerky, the most delicious!"

"Watch cultivators fight to the death, taste the life of the immortal path, one immortal bean contains the wisdom of the Great Dao!"

"Walk around, take a look. For just one spirit stone, you can buy a big bag of popcorn fried from spiritual rice."

"Eating popcorn while watching the match and cultivating, how beautiful!"

Under the blessing of spiritual power, the clear jade voice spread for several miles.

Whether it was the melon-eating crowd in front of the jade wall, the gamblers in the betting house, or the cultivators selling tickets at the passage, they all looked over involuntarily.

Only a handsome man was seen grinning, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Immortal beans, beef, popcorn! Take a look!" ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
