169: New transactions

Ji Wuchang and Cai Ping came out, each holding a new Token; their old ones had been collected.

Their names and a serial number were engraved on this Token.

Ji Wuchang's number was thirty-six, and Cai Ping’s was thirty-seven, which meant thirty-seven people had already registered.

Shortly after the three of them left, Jin Enting and Li Junxia came to register, with numbers thirty-eight and thirty-nine, respectively!

Ji Wuchang and the other two stayed at the most famous inn in Jianghe City, the Da Jiang Inn, renting a small courtyard!

"Young Master, there are still five days left. What are your plans?"

Tian Shuang spoke with a smile, though a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Tian Shuang's expression, Ji Wuchang immediately understood a bit and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Old Tian, do you have any places you recommend?"

Tian Shuang smiled slightly and replied, "Nothing can escape the Young Master's eyes. There are indeed a few places worth visiting."

Seeing the curious looks from Ji Wuchang and Cai Ping, Tian Shuang explained, "Jianghe City is very famous in Jiangchuan State, and there are two places that are particularly special!"

"The first is naturally the Jiang Chuan Saber Academy. Inside, there is a saber that is a top-grade Spirit Weapon, but it has developed sentience."

"The Jiang Chuan Blade King once said that whoever can pull out that saber, he would give it to them."

"So many years have passed, and still no one has been able to do it."

"Of course, the cultivator who pulls the saber has cultivation restrictions; anyone below the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Realm can try."

"You three also went there just after registering, but perhaps because the Yunchuan Academy is recruiting, it is temporarily closed to the public."

Hearing this, Ji Wuchang was somewhat uninterested, but Cai Ping’s eyes lit up, clearly very moved.

Ji Wuchang glanced at Tian Shuang and smiled, saying, "Old Tian, tell us about the second one!"

Tian Shuang smiled slightly, then said, "The second is the Jianghe Statue."

"In Jianghe City, there is a special statue. This statue sinks to the bottom of the Jianghe River, but it automatically floats up on the night of every full moon."

"When the statue floats up, one can sit cross-legged on the bank and communicate with the statue using their Divine Soul."

"It is said that within this statue are contained special Battle Techniques and Cultivation Techniques. If one is lucky, they can receive a special Legacy from the statue."

"This is not just rumor; it has been verified by others."

"The old dean of Yunchuan Academy obtained a Battle Technique from that statue!"

"I tried a few times back then, but unfortunately, I didn't gain anything!"

As soon as Tian Shuang finished speaking, the eyes of Ji Wuchang and Cai Ping lit up!

"The night of the full moon, isn't that the day after tomorrow?"

Cai Ping muttered to himself, then looked at Ji Wuchang.

Ji Wuchang naturally understood Cai Ping's meaning and laughed heartily, saying, "We happen to have time, let's go check it out the day after tomorrow!"

Tian Shuang smiled slightly, then nodded, saying with a smile, "I also noticed the timing was just right, which is why I mentioned it to the Young Master."

"Tomorrow, Young Master can also visit Jianghe Heaven Paradise Street, a place known as 'One Thought Heaven, One Thought Hell'."

As soon as Tian Shuang finished speaking, Cai Ping asked with a smile, "Senior Tian, what is sold on Heaven Paradise Street?"

Tian Shuang smiled slightly, then replied, "Heaven Paradise Street is, strictly speaking, a place for Stone Gambling."

"During the process of mining Spirit Stone veins, many large Raw Stones are encountered."

"These Raw Stones are massive; some are so large that several people are needed to embrace them."

"The reason they are so large is that something else is sealed inside every Raw Stone."

"For such a large volume, the spiritual energy is inferior to Spirit Stones, being roughly equivalent to one-tenth of a Low-Grade Spirit Stone, and the spiritual energy is extremely impure."

"But precisely because the spiritual energy is impure, it causes the Raw Stone to exhibit a hazy color, making it impossible to see the situation inside from the outside."

"Furthermore, due to the unique structure of the Raw Stone, the Divine Soul cannot penetrate it, so no one knows what is hidden inside."

"As a result, Jianghe City developed a special industry, which is called Stone Gambling."

"There are quite a few treasures inside these Raw Stones; some can even yield top-grade Spirit Weapons."

"Of course, most of them are empty or contain some useless junk."

"Here, it is one thought away from heaven, and one thought away from Hell."

"Some people can make a fortune, but most people lose miserably."

"Young Master and Young Friend Cai may not have experienced Stone Gambling before; if you are interested, you can go check it out tomorrow."

"Among the three states of Bo Yun State, Bei Ta State, and Jiangchuan State, only Jianghe City has this industry."

"I have been to other prefectures before, and I never found this industry of Stone Gambling!"

As soon as Tian Shuang finished his introduction, Ji Wuchang and Cai Ping exchanged glances and both nodded, clearly attracted by Tian Shuang's description.

In his previous life, Ji Wuchang had indeed heard of Stone Gambling but had never participated. This time was a good chance to try it out.

Thus, the itinerary for the next two days was settled.

After traveling continuously for so long, the three of them felt somewhat fatigued, so after chatting for a while, they returned to their rooms to rest.

Ji Wuchang comfortably took a hot bath, felt refreshed, and then began to Cultivate the "Purple Qi Burning Heaven Art"!

Once he achieves a Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm, the Battle Technique within the Purple Qi Burning Heaven Art will unlock, and he will have another killing move to master.

Reborn into a new life, Ji Wuchang placed even greater importance on his trump cards. The Hundredfold Sublimation Instant Kill Technique was his ultimate trump card.

But relying on just this trump card was not enough; he needed to prepare more.

The mere thought of being targeted by a Supreme expert who wanted to Possess him to become his Clone made the scalp of Ji Wuchang tingle slightly.

He wasn't afraid of Possession, but he was afraid of the supreme realm!

He hadn't grown strong enough yet. If the enemy's main body came out, merely releasing a trace of Aura could crush him to death.

Yaoyao was a Primordial Spirit body and dared not confront a Supreme possessing a Supreme Vengeful Spirit Soul; otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, everything depended on himself.

"Yaoyao, I promise you!"

Ji Wuchang suddenly spoke.

The moment he spoke, Ji Yaoyao's Divine Soul emerged from the Storage Ring, a look of joy in her eyes.

It turned out that half a month ago, Ji Yaoyao had asked Ji Wuchang to join the Ji Family, but Ji Wuchang had never made up his mind.

Ji Yaoyao's conditions for him were very lenient: Ji Wuchang would not be bound by the Ji Family's various rules, but if he became powerful enough in the future, he must assist the Ji Family if they faced trouble.

Ji Yaoyao naturally looked down on the current Ji Wuchang, but she was investing in the future Ji Wuchang.

Ji Yaoyao believed that as long as Ji Wuchang did not perish, he was destined to be one of the people standing at the very peak in the future.

To this end, she even offered the Ji Family's top-tier Battle Technique, the "Great Sun Divine Fist," to tempt Ji Wuchang.

As long as Ji Wuchang agreed, she would make an exception and pass the "Great Sun Divine Fist" on to him!
