Chapter 73 You are a bunch of pigs!
"Chu Feng, let's bet on alchemy, are you willing to bet?" Just as Chu Feng was pondering, Xu Yubin, an alchemist from the Pill Pavilion in Tianfu City, suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Xu Yubin, this is the Ten Cities Grand Competition, and you cannot afford to be presumptuous. If you continue to speak disrespectfully, this elder will disqualify you from the competition!" Wen Yixi said angrily.
The alchemy competition is of utmost importance; how could it be turned into a gambling arena? Zeng Xiao and others initiated the gambling duel before the Ten Cities Grand Competition had even begun, so it was harmless.
The competition had now reached its third round, the most crucial stage. How could we allow this person to cause trouble?
To Wen Yixi's surprise, Qu Feng suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Elder Wen, the juniors are ignorant. We, as their seniors, should understand. Their betting competition during alchemy is also a form of training. Of course, Alchemist Chu can refuse."
Dong Chuan looked around. Many judges were also puzzled. Qu Feng had no relation to Xu Yubin, so why would he suddenly speak up for Xu Yubin?
However, Qu Feng is not wrong; gambling during alchemy can indeed motivate alchemists.
Therefore, the other judges remained silent.
At the same time, everyone understood that Xu Yubin was doing this because Zeng Xiao had gotten ahead. It was a disgrace for the dignified master of the Danlou in Fucheng to lose to an unknown person like Chu Feng.
Xu Yubin wanted to get revenge.
Chu Feng looked around and saw that Feng Ziying, Hu Junxiong's disciple from Yuyue City, and Song Zhong, Huo Ting's disciple from Jushi City, were both looking at him with hatred.
"You two want to gamble with me too?" A cold smile appeared on Chu Feng's lips.
Three mere Yuan Dan stage first-level trash, easily crushed with a flick of the wrist, dare to provoke me? Where does their confidence come from?
"I'm dying of laughter! Your sect leader is almost bankrupt from gambling. What are you going to use to gamble with Master Chu? Your face? Hahahaha..."
At that moment, the aged voice from before reappeared.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, finding it all rather strange. Who was this person? What was his purpose? Even if he had some connection to Chu Feng, would he really be so eager as to oppose the Pill Pavilion?
After all, this is the Ten-City Grand Competition of Danlou!
However, this person was extremely powerful, and even the Venerable-level experts on the judging panel could not find any clues.
Even Chu Feng found it a bit strange. He didn't know any high-level acquaintances on the Tianwu Continent. Who was this person? And why was he helping him?
Hu Junxiong and Huo Ting exchanged a glance, then suddenly stood up together and said, "That's right, we also want to gamble with you on alchemy."
Chu Feng sneered, "What that expert said earlier was right. All three of you have lost everything except your underwear. Are you going to gamble with your clothes? And walk out of the Pill Tower naked if you lose?"
Since we've torn off the mask, there's no need for pretense. Since we've chosen to cultivate the sword in this life, we must forge ahead without hesitation. What is a sword cultivator? One sword's success is built on the bones of ten thousand!
If you want war, then let's fight!
"I am Xu Hun, the head of the Xu family of Tianfu City. My family has paid for Xu Yubin's bet. I don't care how Master Chu wants to bet." An old man suddenly stepped out from below the stage.
Xu Yubin clasped his hands in a fist salute to the old man and said respectfully, "Father-in-law."
Xu Hun nodded and sat down again.
"I am Song Kai'en, the patriarch of the Song family of Giant Stone City. My Song family has covered Song Zhong's bet. Master Chu, please rest assured." Song Kai'en, a patriarch from Giant Stone City, also stepped forward.
"I am Feng Guangyao, the patriarch of the Feng family in Jade Moon City. My family has covered the bets of Feng Ziying. Master Chu can rest assured."
Feng Guangyao, the head of the Feng family in Yuyue City, also stepped forward.
Chu Feng gave a thumbs-up and laughed, "Since the three family heads all want to make a bet with me, Chu Feng, fine, I'll accept the wager. How would you like to wager? Feel free to name yourselves!"
These people have been aggressive from beginning to end, trying to kill me. Since that's the case, I'll find a way to eliminate them once and for all.
Wasting a little time is not a big deal. The essence of cultivation lies in having a clear mind and flawless thoughts.
Xu Yubin said slowly, "I'll bet all the resources you have, including your storage ring."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Chu Feng won 270 million mid-grade spirit stones. His own pills and mortal artifacts were of equal value. All these resources combined were definitely worth more than 550 million!
If Zeng Xiao took out the storage ring, it wouldn't be surprising if it sold for 20 to 30 million at an auction; things are valued for their rarity.
Therefore, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the stakes in this bet are six hundred million mid-grade spirit stones!
A high-stakes gamble!
The entire hall was in an uproar. Six hundred million mid-grade spirit stones—who could just pull that out? Even the City Lord's Mansion of Tianfu City might not have that much wealth, right?
Everyone was worried for Chu Feng. It would be fine if he lost, but if he won, would the three major families let him go?
It's probably a death sentence, isn't it?
Let alone 600 million mid-grade spirit stones, even for 60 million mid-grade spirit stones, these people will definitely resort to underhanded tactics as long as they get the chance!
At the same time, everyone also learned about the cunning and shamelessness of these three families.
Three Yuan Dan realm experts and third-grade alchemists challenged a second-grade alchemist, whose strength was only at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment stage. How shameless is that?
These kinds of people and families are absolutely not to be associated with! Otherwise, they'll devour every last bone fragment!
Wen Yixi and Dong Chuan were also ashamed by the actions of these three families. Were they even human?
However, given the plausible excuse of the music style, and the fact that Chu Feng had already accepted the bet, what could they, as outsiders, do?
Chu Feng laughed and said, "Sure, but my resources are readily available. Where are yours? You can't just talk the talk. What if I win and you can't provide them? Do you expect me to just lie in your house and wait?"
"Yes, yes, this brother is right! If you want to gamble, then show us the resources so everyone can check them. Don't try to get away with it!" The old voice appeared out of nowhere, suddenly popping up from another corner of the hall.
Everyone had become numb to the sound.
I have to become numb, otherwise I won't be able to find anyone!
Xu Hun took out a storage ring and said, "This time, I would like to ask Master Dong and Master Qu to be my witnesses. What do you two think?"
Upon hearing his words, Wen Yixi knew that this person wanted to kick him out of the betting game so that he wouldn't have to intervene if Chu Feng lost.
Dong Chuan subtly whispered two words to Wen Yixi, then nodded and took the storage ring before Qu Feng could.
He told Wen Yixi: Don't worry.
As for taking the storage ring before Qu Feng, it was because Dong Chuan had become suspicious of Qu Feng.
As a member of the judging panel, one should not get involved in other people's grudges for no reason, nor should one encourage others to gamble.
This behavior is inconsistent with the principles of Danlou, which is a neutral force dedicated to peace.
"Gentlemen, these are resources from my Song family." Song Kai'en stepped forward as well!
"Gentlemen, these are resources from my Feng family." Feng Guangyao handed over a storage bag.
Chu Feng looked at the storage bag and could only sneer, "You're all a bunch of pigs!"
