Mi Shuhua came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Regretfully
Alright, he left in such a rush that he deliberately took that bottle of Jade Marrow Pill with him.
Luo Chen guessed that the other party planned to pave the way with the refined Jade Marrow Pills.
These Foundation Establishment Cultivators, having cultivated for many years, tend to be cunning due to their age.
It’s not about thinking ten steps ahead, but three to five steps is very normal.
Rather than waiting for Luo Chen’s pill refinement skills to improve and production to increase before looking for a market, it would be better to open up channels in advance.
Only by doing this can they directly reap huge profits in the future.
Compared to them, Qi Refinement Cultivators, who still belong to the mortal realm in terms of lifespan, tend to be more short-sighted.
…And Luo Chen was just such a “short-sighted” person!
Within his short line of sight, someone was preparing to sneak away.
Fortunately, he was short-sighted and spotted them immediately!
Luo Chen, as if teleporting, swiftly barred the exit of the Pill Hall.
He extended his small palm out.
“Hand it over!”
Sikong Shoujia feigned ignorance, “What do you mean?”
Luo Chen gritted his teeth, “You lost that chess game just now. You can’t cheat, hand over our wager!”
Wager?
What wager?
Moreover, who said I definitely lost?
Sikong Shoujia widened his cloudy old eyes, “How can you slander me out of thin air? Who lost? I was just playing a round of that damned checkers game to while away time with you.”
Luo Chen took a deep breath and stared at the old man firmly.
“Alright, if that’s what you say…”
Hehe, young man, what can you do to me?
Sikong Shoujia chuckled coldly, exuding an aura of worldly wisdom.
Then, the next moment, his face turned increasingly red.
Because Luo Chen spread his hands wide like a loudspeaker, shouting towards Crescent Valley.
“Elder Sikong is cheating!”
“Our sect’s Pill Hall, the Great Elder of our sect’s Pill Hall, Sikong Shoujia, owes our Hall Master Luo Chen three Spirit Stones from eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. Now he’s repudiating his debt and planning to run away!”
“Elder Sikong Shou…”
“Stop shouting!”
Sikong Shoujia’s face turned red, then revealed the splendid skills of Sichuan Opera, becoming pitch black like a chunk of charcoal.
He tossed a small booklet directly at Luo Chen.
After throwing it, he immediately ran away.
When he exited Crescent Valley, he noticed many cultivators in the valley looking up at him.
He was indignant, “What kind of people are these? It’s just a mortal hidden weapon manual, is it really that serious!”
Luo Chen couldn’t hear these words.
Even if he had heard them, he would have said, of course, it is!
This was the wager on the chess game!
After teaching the two of them the rules of the chess game, Luo Chen proposed the stakes.
Three people, each took out a mortal martial arts manual.
This kind of thing was common in The Great River District and wasn’t worth much in terms of Spirit Stones.
After all, no matter how good your martial arts are, you can’t withstand a basic fireball.
But Luo Chen was different, he had the Proficiency System.
He could maximize the potential of mortal martial arts.
Even if the maximized martial arts only slightly improved his combat power, it was still an improvement.
Previously, he had been too busy refining pills, surviving, and cultivating to focus on this aspect.
He had only practiced Qing Gong Carefree Wandering.
Now that he had some free time, naturally he became interested.
Therefore, Luo Chen proposed best of five games, and the person who won the most games could take all the stakes.
Sikong and Gu had no objections.
After all, these were just trivial things that might not even sell if they were put on the market.
After several rounds, Luo Chen won two games, Gu Caiyi won two games, and Sikong Shoujia didn’t win a single game.
In the last game, Luo Chen held a huge advantage, that’s why he was so anxious for the wager.
Not anyone can deny their debts to Luo Chen.
Gao Tingyuan owed him five Spirit Stones and Yu Ding Sword Sect owed him a Spirit Stone trophy, he still remembered all that.
“Heavenly Maiden Scatter Flowers”
The moment he saw the title of the book, Luo Chen was stunned.
“You old fool, why did you give me a martial arts manual that doesn’t match my style at all?”
Seeing him standing there in a daze, Gu Caiyi walked over with small steps.
She glanced at the title of the book and couldn’t help covering her mouth and laughing.
“So it’s this manual!”
“You know about it?”
“A martial arts expert chanced upon the Dao and came to The Great River District to sell it when he had nothing else. He was very smart, he made many copies, each one only cost one Spirit Stone, or equal cultivation resources. Therefore, it became widespread in The Great River District,” Gu Caiyi explained the origin of this martial arts manual, “The man was very clever, he made many copies, each one only cost one Spirit Stone, or equivalent cultivation resources. So, it became widespread in The Great River District.”
A widespread item, and Sikong Shoujia dared to deny it?
Another cunning old man!
No, wait!
Luo Chen suddenly thought of something, “Widespread? Does it have any merits that made it popular among the cultivators in The Great River District?”
Anything that can become a crowd favorite must have its value.
Just like Storage Bags, just like Qi Nurturing Pills.
Gu Caiyi smiled slightly, “Of course, it does. It is a hidden weapon technique, but after cultivators learn it, they find that Heavenly Maiden Scatter Flowers is not only suitable for ordinary hidden weapons, it also greatly improves their control of magic tools.”
“Isn’t the control of magic tools dependant on the Attraction Technique, Spirit Power regulation, or whether the Spirit Consciousness is strong?” Luo Chen was curious.
“It’s not as simple as that, during a battle, timing, angle, speed, and rhythm all need to be considered.”
Pointing at the book, Gu Caiyi casually said, “Interestingly, this hidden weapon technique places great importance on those aspects. It is said that the grandmaster who created it came from a place called Tang Clan in a mortal dynasty.”
“I know, I know, there’s a hidden weapon called Buddhist Fury Tang Lotus from that place!”
