Chapter 365

"The poison arts of the Wen family are indeed quite good."

Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, but soon said again: "However, using poison arts often requires the right time, place, and people, so in my opinion, no matter how powerful the poison arts are, they are just side-door paths. You should still focus your main energy on cultivation in the future."

Although Su Ying had already started cultivating the Bright Jade Technique,

Jiang Chen was worried that she would still spend most of her time on medical arts and poisons.

"063" "Mm-hmm."

Su Ying nodded obediently.

She didn't learn martial arts before, partly because Wei Wuya controlled her, and partly because she had been living in seclusion in Guishan Mountain, so she didn't have to worry about the Jianghu people who fought all day affecting her.

Moreover,

relying on her superb poison arts, she didn't fear even ordinary experts of the Carefree Heaven Realm.

However, now,

the people around her were all martial arts practitioners.

Plus, even Wei Wuya, who was incredibly powerful in her eyes at the time, had no power to resist when facing Yao Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai.

This also made her understand that

no matter how powerful poison arts were, they could only deal with ordinary experts.

If she encountered a powerful expert like Yao Yao Yue, unless she made full preparations in advance, it would be possible to make the other party poisoned.

As for a Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm expert 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 cultivating late, your aptitude is extremely high, and you are cultivating a supreme martial art like the Bright Jade Technique, so you don't have to worry about missing the best time for cultivation."

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "I believe you should have been able to see something from the herbs I asked Watching 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 people who practice martial arts."

"However..."

Su Ying looked at Jiang Chen strangely: "I see some herbs in there that seem to be used for making rouge and the like..."

"Yes."

Jiang Chen nodded gently and said with a smile: "That's indeed the case. However, the herbs I asked Watching Hua Jin to find are actually used to refine two types of pills."

It had to be said that Su Ying's research on pharmacology was indeed quite good.

At that time, when he gave Watching Hua Jin the herb guide, 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 difference from it.

"Let's go, hurry in."

Just at this moment,

Sikong Changfeng said to Wen Jiuhu and Lei Qianhu: "It's not too late to catch up when we're at the card table."

"Haha, since Brother Sikong is so anxious to give us money, then let's go."

Lei Qianhu laughed heartily and said to Lei Tianhen beside him: "Tianhen, you've worked hard for the Lei Family Fortress all these years. Go and have a good time these few days, you don't have to worry about me anymore."

Lei Tianhen nodded with a smile.

With Sikong Changfeng and Wen Jiuhu there, it was indeed inappropriate for him to keep following Lei Qianhu.

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,

he was Li Hanyi's disciple after all, and plus the relationship with Sikong Qianluo, so usually, Sikong Changfeng had always treated Jiang Chen as a junior.

But now, in front of Wen Jiuhu and Lei Qianhu, it was obviously not very appropriate to do so.

"I won't."

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "The three of you probably haven't gathered for a long time, so I won't go and disturb you."

Although Wen Jiuhu was a generation higher than Sikong Changfeng and Lei Qianhu in terms of seniority,

but in the Jianghu, friendships between people of different ages were common.

And Jiang Chen also knew a little about the things that happened when Sikong Changfeng and the others were young.

A large part of the reason why these three families formed an alliance with Snow Moon City was because they had traveled the Jianghu together when they were young.

So at this moment,

it was naturally inappropriate for Jiang Chen to play with them.

"Fine."

Seeing Jiang Chen refuse, Sikong Changfeng didn't say anything more.

If Jiang Chen really joined them, although he wouldn't mind, Wen Jiuhu and 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 more than ten meters, Wen Jiuhu and Lei Qianhu were both a bit shocked.

Especially the exquisite glazed lamps hanging in mid-air, numbering over a hundred, even Jiang Chen, who was prepared, couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"I always thought the Carefree Pavilion in Baicheng, Qingzhou, was the most luxurious gambling house in the entire Northern Li Dynasty, but looking at it now, I'm afraid this name of luxury is about to change hands."

Wen Jiuhu looked at the glazed lamps above his head, showing a look of exclamation:

"I thought you were exaggerating when you said you wanted to build the Snow Moon City gambling house into the largest in the world, but looking at it now, just based on this grandeur, even the Thousand Gold Terrace in Tianqi City can't compare..."

"Hahaha, I naturally have confidence when I say so."

Sikong Changfeng showed a look of pride: "What do you say, shall we play in this hall, or go to a private room?"

"Daddy is really shameless."

Seeing Sikong Changfeng's appearance, 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 Luoxia. I remember Daddy didn't agree to it at the time."

Jiang Chen heard this and patted Sikong Qianluo's hand with a smile.

He didn't care about these empty names.

Compared to that, he cared more about how many people would come to Snow Moon City later.

However,

although Sikong Qianluo's voice was small,

what kind of strength did Sikong Changfeng and Lei Qianhu have?

For a moment,

both of them glanced at Sikong Changfeng with a half-smile.

Wen Jiuhu smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few years, this girl Qianluo's personality is still so straightforward. Brother Sikong will have blessings in the future."

Lei Qianhu also followed: "Isn't that so? Miss Qianluo also made it onto the Good Jade List this time. I'm afraid in a few years, Snow Moon City will have another Gun Immortal. Brother Sikong, this is truly something to be happy about!"

"Are you guys going to play or not?"

Sikong Changfeng glared at them: "If you're going to play, hurry up, otherwise there won't be any seats later!"

At this time,

although there were nearly a thousand card tables in the hall, there were too many people coming in to play.

Even many ordinary people of Snow Moon City had come in.

"Play, play, play, of course we have to play! Why would I come from so far away if I wasn't going to play?"

Wen Jiuhu pointed to a position near the rockery fountain in the middle of the hall: "That position is good, let's take this one."

On the other side,

Jiang Chen didn't worry about Sikong Changfeng and the others, but looked at the women and said with a smile: "You guys go play too."

Subsequently,

Jiang Chen looked at Yin Luoxia again.

Yin Luoxia understood, walked directly to a platform in the hall, and said with a smile: "Everyone, in view of the fact that this gambling house has just opened, I hereby announce that starting from today, within three days, the two people who win the most money and win the most times will be provided with extra special rewards by this house owner!"

"It's Fairy Luoxia, the Gambling King recognized by the Northern Li Dynasty!"

"I didn't expect Fairy Luoxia to be the owner of the gambling house. I thought it would be Tiannv Rui."

"Fairy Luoxia, can you tell us what the reward is?"

"..."

Some people were concerned about Yin Luoxia herself, and some were curious about the reward Yin Luoxia mentioned.
