You’ve been hung up again?” came a voice from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earliest-hung black-robed immortal remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another immortal deliberately shouted louder: “Immortal Changcheng must be missing Gui She Immortal’s Immortal-Binding Rope!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed immortal widened his eyes: “How dare you slander my reputation out of thin air!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What reputation? Every time I see you, you’re suspended by the Turtle Shell Bindings—do you deny missing it? Your heart must be dancing with joy right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed immortal’s face flushed crimson, veins bulging on his forehead—he refused to suffer such social death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He protested: “That was forced! How can forced events be called missing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, the Gambler Immortal is definitely cheating—why is my luck always so terrible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bought a Luck-Transferring Pill and my luck got worse—is that reasonable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came a string of incomprehensible complaints: “gambling fraud,” “never coming back,” “next time I’ll chop off my hands,” and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immortals burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the air inside and outside the Qionglou was filled with merriment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other suspended immortals were in much the same situation—they’d all bought Jing Yao’s Luck-Transferring Pills while gambling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their luck turned even worse, driving them to rage and plan a riot to vent their frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then they were all hung up here to experience social death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, not everyone felt ashamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few immortals even laughed as they watched the crowd: “Don’t just mock us, immortals—if you’ve got guts, go in and test your own luck!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Seven Treasures Stones today? The Gambler Immortal definitely tampered with them. We’ve never had bad luck before, yet today not one good item was revealed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were clearly trying to trick later immortals into joining the Gambler Immortal’s event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet some immortals simply refused to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? I’d like to see what tricks the Gambler Immortal is pulling—can he really fool our eyes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, more immortals entered the Qionglou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xuputi, lay out the Seven Treasures Stones!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Gambler Immortal], wearing a face of compassion, held a lapis lazuli treasure tree and greeted guests with a serene smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he brushed the treasure tree into the air, countless dazzling scenes flashed forth—beautiful and magnificent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Butterflies lingered among flowers, fish drifted through the ocean, fireflies danced in the night sky, meteors streaked across the heavens…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, seven rare stones—gold, silver, lapis lazuli, red pearls, agate, and others—were displayed before the immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t see anything wrong here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, perfectly normal. Let me open one for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! A Primordial Geng Metal Sword—what a treasure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got one too—Pure Lapis Lazuli Pearl! Wow, the Gambler Immortal really went all out today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My luck’s bad—I only got something the size of a fingernail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that? A Bodhi seed? Get lost! You’re a plant! Dao Ye’s here got nothing at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immortals chattered excitedly—some thrilled, some lamenting—but none were hung up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing did not enter immediately; instead, he watched the [Gambler Immortal] from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the divine tree rooted in the ore vein was none other than the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree—one of the Primordial Ten Sacred Roots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree took form under the alias [Xuputi]—that’s Qianti, my friend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—that’s not right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing frowned, studying the [Gambler Immortal] closely—and the more he looked, the stranger it seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, yes, and his primordial aura and appearance matched Qianti’s perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when Xiang Xuanqing used Taiyi Divine Art to calculate, the result was still “[Qianti].”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Jieyin, not Qianti!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he saw through the [Gambler Immortal]’s disguise, Xiang Xuanqing burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his travels through the Western Realm, he had met both Qianti and Jieyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, both holy beings were utterly innocent—comparable to Minghe—and used their primordial true names when traveling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve thought that upon meeting again, “White Lotus” Jieyin had learned to wear masks—and not just one, but two layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he’d only borrowed his brother’s masks. “If Jieyin is using Qianti’s identity, then what identity is Qianti using? Did they swap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing was nearly certain the [Gambler Immortal] was Jieyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brotherly trick reminded him of Taiyi and Di Jun on the Sun Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Taiwei Yuan, the mask “[Sun Radiance Supreme Lord of the Sun]” was rotated between the two brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the Sun Star had a usage quota.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same trick, different play—these guys really know how to have fun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon discovering the [Gambler Immortal]’s true identity, Xiang Xuanqing felt a sudden sense of “I am not alone in my ways.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, [Alchemy Immortal], are you buying the Luck-Transferring Pills or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Alchemy Immortal] Jing Yao Shangzun, seeing Xiang Xuanqing standing before his stall for a long time, finally called out to urge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he recognized Xiang Xuanqing’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a friend shouldn’t obstruct his medicine sales!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May Heaven pity him—his Jing Yao Shangzun’s pills had never been this popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trip to Bai Yujing was truly worth it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prompted by Jing Yao Shangzun, Xiang Xuanqing finally crouched down and examined his stall carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ginseng fruit tree, meanwhile, chatted with Zhenwu nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortal Gui She, your technique has become increasingly professional.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s thanks to the Guide Immortal’s initial advice—I wouldn’t have gotten a stall at the First Qionglou otherwise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not at all—I merely recommended a stall location because your Immortal-Binding Ropes were so unique. I never expected it to become a Bai Yujing spectacle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ginseng fruit tree whispered mysteriously to Zhenwu: “You wouldn’t believe it—many immortals from small worlds come to Bai Yujing just to see this sight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some immortals with partners even privately asked me to buy them Immortal-Binding Ropes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhenwu’s eyes lit up: “I’ll give you a discount.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would be wonderful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing picked up a gourd of Golden Core Pills and asked Jing Yao:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you joined Bai Yujing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not,” Jing Yao Shangzun shook his head. “Hongjun hasn’t approved my trial of the Hunyuan Pill yet—also because I haven’t even refined it yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That ‘Primordial Great Dao Ninefold Immortal Hunyuan Pill’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing asked in surprise: “What exactly does that pill do? Why haven’t you finished it yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The effect of the Hunyuan Pill? Obviously, it makes you achieve Hunyuan Dao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yao clicked his tongue: “I’m just missing a few ingredients, and I can’t predict the side effects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I’m planning to find a fool to test it first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing laughed: “You’re refreshingly honest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, who else but us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yao winked at Xiang Xuanqing: “Wasn’t it you who sneaked into my furnace last time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it was me. Something went wrong with a Spirit Treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That explains it,” Jing Yao Shangzun suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing said: “I took your pill. Later, I met Xuanyao (Minghe) by chance and gave it to him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yao’s eyes instantly sparkled. He excitedly asked: “How was it? How was it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did my pill work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing recalled Minghe’s evaluation and replied: “Ignoring the side effects, the effect was astonishingly good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yao Shangzun selectively ignored the side effects and beamed: “I told you my pills are excellent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what about those people who got hung up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Yu Chendaojun (Li Ming) asked, having just seen the immortals buy Jing Yao’s Luck-Transferring Pills—some had been hanged, others had enjoyed extraordinary fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yao Shangzun glanced left and right; seeing no immortals nearby, he softly transmitted his voice: “My Luck-Transferring Pill’s full name is: Yin-Yang Balance, Life-and-Death Capricious Luck-Transferring Pill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The pill does indeed alter luck—but I never said it turns luck into good fortune! To balance fate, some who take it gain good luck, while others gain misfortune.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But both good and bad luck are dynamically balanced: those now blessed may suffer minor misfortune later—say, dying once or something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those now cursed have a chance to avoid a death calamity in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Chendaojun fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why didn’t you clarify the side effects?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They didn’t ask!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yao Shangzun looked utterly innocent. “They were all in such a frantic rush—none of them let me finish speaking before dashing inside. What could I do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Direct Express: [Recommendation Votes] [Monthly Votes]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1502,"2026-06-19T19:10:14.517Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4d0345b267b2a384aa2f6b4f4ea567b8b654dbd050b7372f3f52a82f4039d726","this-honghuang-is-not-serious-chapter-68","this-honghuang-is-not-serious-chapter-66",413,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-honghuang-is-not-serious-cover.jpg"]
