Chapter 69: Fairy Beans, Beef, Popcorn!

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

The impact this half-month had brought to Dahe Square was enormous!

Perhaps to cultivate a fighting atmosphere, or perhaps to stimulate the interest of the spectators.

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 one magic tool that the opponent had bet before the match.

The top three in the local monthly ranking could even obtain top-grade magic tools, elixirs, or even cultivation techniques!

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

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

It was said that before, a shameless person resold a hundred-spirit-stone ticket for two hundred.

Someone, innocently lying down and getting shot.

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

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

For the battle of mid-stage cultivators, if one won a match, they couldn't obtain the opponent's magic tool, but they could obtain a bottle of Nourishing Qi Elixirs, worth one hundred spirit stones.

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

Ten bottles!

That was one hundred pills, enough to cultivate without interruption for over three months.

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

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

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

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

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

Besides the rankings, it also wrote the match schedule for today, a full twenty-plus matches.

Today, I'm afraid there's going to be blood flowing like a river!

Of course, ordinary battles were not life-and-death struggles; they were stopped at a point, with referees on the side ready to intervene at any time.

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

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

"Moreover, your hand-to-hand spellcasting is something even late-stage Qi Refining cultivators like me have to be extremely careful of."

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

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

To this, Luo Chen just rolled his eyes wildly.

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

"Li Zhuoqi of the Bai Yu Valley Li family in Dahe Square relied on a top-grade flying sword to dominate the first place for ten days, but wasn't he still overtaken by loose cultivators from other places?"

There has never been an undefeated person in the world; once the intelligence is thoroughly studied.

Losing is only a matter of time.

If one's mortal enemy finds out and researches various targeted means, in the wilderness, it would be a case of death and disappearance.

Luo Chen couldn't possibly put himself in the spotlight for that little reward.

Moreover, who said that relying on the Dao Discussion Platform to earn spirit stones only meant going up to fight?

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

"Xiaoyue, how is 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 fairy beans sold, five portions of beef jerky sold, thirteen portions of popcorn sold, and only ten bottles of yellow pear wine sold. A total of thirty-five spirit stones earned."

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

Xiaoyue tugged at her fingers, almost crying.

Qin Liangchen, who was beside them, couldn't stand Luo Chen bullying a little girl like this and said: "The cost of these little things of yours is less than one spirit stone for ten portions; you have the nerve to sell them for one spirit stone per portion, and others don't have the nerve to be this sucker!"

"Hey, hey, hey, words cannot be spoken recklessly. Fairy beans are my exclusive secret recipe, and popcorn is even fried with spirit 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, Mountain-Leaping Tiger. Which one of them isn't worth one spirit stone per portion!"

Luo Chen argued strongly, his face red and his neck thick, almost spraying saliva onto Qin Liangchen's face.

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

Miss Xiaoyue 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, Mountain-Leaping Tiger.

Mountain-Leaping Tiger died on the Dao Discussion Platform, leaving behind a crippled old father and a little daughter who was only at the second level of Qi Refining.

Mi Shuhua had promised to take good care of the families of the fallen, but in reality, he only arranged some relatively safe things for them to do within 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 only barely earned some spirit stones to support their cultivation.

The bulk was taken by the high-level officials of each hall, and even that Gang Master.

This kind of care was just right—enough to live, but not enough to make people jealous, but development was absolutely impossible.

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

Coincidentally, under the name of helping one of the four Elders, Qin Liangchen, restore his state, he escaped some miscellaneous tasks in the gang and brushed his spell proficiency up at all costs.

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

He even got an evaluation from Qin Liangchen: "Invincible in the mid-stage, can fight the late-stage."

It was just that going in and out of the Dao Discussion Platform every day made him discover a business opportunity.

Not reselling scalper tickets!

But spectators watching the battle, encountering some battles that were boring, were too bored.

Thus, he introduced a crowd of snacks such as fairy beans, popcorn, and beef jerky.

Later, he heard in the Medicine Hall that Mountain-Leaping 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 could barely be considered a prominent 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 the Medicine Hall Master, Murong Qinglian, "sister-in-law" sweetly every day.

Moreover, the Sick Tiger Ceng Yilong of the combat hall came to visit Luo Chen every few days. Every time the two spoke, they were secretive and intimate!

Tsk tsk, such interpersonal relationships, anyone who saw it would think Luo Chen had a limitless 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 to see, just right to be a salesperson!

It was just that, looking at it now, this decision was a bit reluctant.

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

After Luo Chen sighed, he waved his hand.

Yuan Xiaoyue froze for a moment, let go of the stall position, and changed to Luo Chen standing there.

Qin Liangchen was puzzled about what the other meant.

The next moment, he hid in a secluded place with a flushed face.

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

"Watch cultivators fight to the death, taste the life of the fairy path, one fairy bean, containing 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 spirit rice."

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

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 gambling den, or the ticket-selling cultivators at the passageway, they all looked over involuntarily.

Only to see a handsome man grinning, revealing a row of white teeth.

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