Chapter 209
Wen Wen Jiuhu could be considered one of the few people in the Lingnan Old Brand Wen Family who knew martial arts.
Not only were his poison skills unparalleled, but his martial arts were also rated as a fourth-tier expert on the "Crown of the World" list by the Baixiao Hall.
However,
the reason the Wen family could be as famous as the Tang Sect and the Lei Family Fortress was mainly due to their terrifying poison skills.
"Young Master, are the Wen family's poison skills really that powerful?"
Su Ying looked at Wen Wen Jiuhu, who was chatting and laughing with Brother Sikong Changfeng, and asked Jiang Chen curiously.
Although she lived in the hidden valley of Mount Gui and had never been out,
now that she saw someone who was also powerful in using poison, she couldn't help but want to compare.
"The Wen family's poison skills are indeed quite good."
Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, but soon added: "However, using poison skills often requires the right time, place, and people, so in my view, no matter how powerful poison skills are, they are just side paths. You should still focus your main energy on cultivation in the future."
Although Su Ying had already started practicing the Bright Jade Technique,
Jiang Chen was worried that she would still spend most of her time on medical skills and poisons.
"063" "Mm-hmm."
Su Ying nodded obediently.
Not practicing martial arts before was partly because Wei Wei Wuya was controlling her, and partly because she had always lived in seclusion in Mount Gui, so she didn't have to worry about the martial arts people who fought all day long affecting her.
Moreover,
relying on her superb poison skills, she didn't fear even ordinary experts in the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm.
However, now,
the people around her were all martial arts practitioners.
Plus, even Wei Wei Wuya, who was incredibly powerful in her eyes, had no power to resist when facing Especially Yao Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai.
This also made her understand,
that no matter how powerful poison skills are, they can only deal with ordinary experts.
If she encountered a powerhouse like Especially Yao Yao Yue, it would only be possible to poison her if she made full preparations in advance.
As for a powerhouse in the Divine Wandering Profound Realm like Jiang Chen,
Su Ying felt that even if she used all her means, it probably wouldn't be of any use.
"Although you started practicing late, your aptitude is extremely high, and you are practicing a supreme martial art like the Bright Jade Technique, so you don't need to worry about missing the best time for cultivation."
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "I believe you should already be able to see something about the herbs I asked Hua Jin to find."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words,
Su Ying also nodded with a smile: "Although I don't know exactly what the Young Master wants to refine, it should be for people who practice martial arts, right? I see that many of the herbs are very beneficial to martial arts practitioners."
"However..."
Su Ying looked at Jiang Chen strangely: "I see some herbs among them that seem to be used for making rouge and such..."
"Yes."
Jiang Chen nodded lightly and said with a smile: "That is indeed the case, but the herbs I asked Hua Jin to find are actually used to refine two types of pills."
It must be said that Su Ying's research on pharmacology is indeed quite good.
At the time, when he gave Hua Jin the herb illustrations, he didn't separate the herbs for refining the Heaven-Mending Pill and the Beauty-Preserving Pill.
However, even so,
Su Ying still saw the differences.
"Let's go, let's go in quickly."
Just at this moment,
Brother Sikong Changfeng said to Wen Wen Jiuhu and Lei Lei Qianhu: "It won't be too late to reminisce when we're at the card table."
"Haha, since Brother Brother Sikong is so anxious to give us money, then let's go."
Lei Lei Qianhu laughed heartily and then said to Lei Lei Tianhen beside him: "Lei Tianhen, you've worked hard for the Lei Family Fortress all these years; go and have some fun these next few days, and don't worry about me anymore."
Lei Lei Tianhen nodded with a smile.
With Brother Sikong Changfeng and Wen Wen Jiuhu there, it was indeed inappropriate for him to keep following Lei Lei Qianhu.
Brother Sikong Changfeng looked at Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, do you want to come in and play with us?"
Although Jiang Chen's strength was higher than his own,
he was Li Li Hanyi's disciple after all, and combined with his relationship with Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo, Brother Sikong Changfeng had always treated Jiang Chen as a junior.
But now, in front of Wen Wen Jiuhu and Lei Lei Qianhu, it was clearly not appropriate to do so.
"I won't."
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "The three of you probably haven't gathered for quite some time, so I won't go and disturb you."
In terms of seniority, although Wen Wen Jiuhu was one generation higher than Brother Sikong Changfeng and Lei Lei Qianhu,
friendships between people of different ages were common in the martial arts world.
And Jiang Chen also knew a thing or two about their younger days.
A large part of the reason why these three families formed an alliance with Snow Moon City was that they had traveled the martial arts world together when they were young.
So at this moment,
it was naturally inappropriate for Jiang Chen to play with them.
"Alright then."
Seeing Jiang Chen refuse, Brother Sikong Changfeng didn't say anything more.
If Jiang Chen really joined them, although he wouldn't mind, Wen Wen Jiuhu and Lei Lei Qianhu would definitely be extremely restrained.
A moment later,
everyone walked into the gambling house together.
Looking at the spacious hall with a ceiling height of over ten meters, Wen Wen Jiuhu and Lei Lei Qianhu were both somewhat shocked.
Especially the exquisite glass lamps hanging in mid-air, numbering over a hundred; even Jiang Chen, who had been prepared, couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"I always thought the Xiaoyao Pavilion in Baicheng, Qingzhou, was the most luxurious gambling house in the entire Beili Dynasty, but now it seems this title of luxury is about to change hands."
Wen Wen Jiuhu looked at the glass lamps above his head and showed a look of admiration:
"I previously thought that your talk of building the Snow Moon City gambling house into the largest in the world had some elements of exaggeration, but now it seems that just based on this grandeur, even the Qianjin Terrace in Tianqi City cannot compare..."
"Hahaha, I naturally have the confidence to say so."
Brother Sikong Changfeng showed a look of pride: "How about it, shall we play in this hall, or go to a private room?"
"Dad is really shameless."
Seeing Brother Sikong Changfeng's appearance, Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo, who was standing beside Jiang Chen, couldn't help but mutter: "This gambling house was clearly built by Little Junior Brother and Elder Yin Luoxia; I remember Dad didn't agree to it at the time."
Jiang Chen heard this and patted Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo's hand with a smile.
He didn't care about these empty titles.
Compared to that, he cared more about how many people would come to Snow Moon City later.
However,
although Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo's voice was small,
what was the strength of Brother Sikong Changfeng and Lei Lei Qianhu?
For a moment,
both of them glanced at Brother Sikong Changfeng with amused expressions.
Wen Wen Jiuhu smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few years, this girl Brother Sikong Qianluo's personality is still so straightforward; Brother Brother Sikong will have good fortune in the future."
Lei Lei Qianhu also added: "Isn't that so? Miss Brother Sikong Qianluo also made it onto the 'Good Jade' list this time; I'm afraid it won't be many years before Snow Moon City has another Spear Immortal. Brother Brother Sikong, this is truly something to be happy and congratulated about!"
"Are you going to play or not?"
Brother Sikong Changfeng glared at them: "If you're going to play, hurry up, or there won't be any seats left later!"
At this time,
although there were nearly a thousand card tables in the hall, there were simply too many people coming in to play.
Even many ordinary people from Snow Moon City had come in.
"Play, play, play, of course we're going to play! Why else would I come from so far away if not to play?"
Wen Wen Jiuhu pointed to a spot near the rockery fountain in the middle of the hall: "That spot is good, let's take that one."
4.
On the other side.
Jiang Chen didn't bother with Brother Sikong Changfeng and the others, but looked at the women and said with a smile: "You all go and play too."
Subsequently,
Jiang Chen looked at Yin Yin Luoxia.
Yin Yin Luoxia understood, walked directly to a platform in the hall, and said with a smile: "Everyone, given that this gambling house has just opened, I hereby announce that starting from today, for the next three days, the two people who win the most money and the most rounds in the gambling house will be provided with special additional rewards by this owner!"
"It's Fairy Yin Luoxia, now recognized as the Gambling King of the Beili Dynasty!"
"I didn't expect Fairy Yin Luoxia to be the owner of the gambling house; I thought it would be Tian Nvrui."
"Fairy Yin Luoxia, can you say what the reward is?"
"..."
Some people were focused on Yin Yin Luoxia herself, while others were curious about the reward Yin Yin Luoxia mentioned.
