C26 Earning Opportunities

If he was too honest, he would be at a disadvantage. This was a lesson Ox King had learned a long time ago.

Having experienced five years of North Wilderness's worth of survival, he was well aware of the crafty ways Cultivation World's bottom line, and as a result, could also adapt to camping in this kind of environment. On the other hand, Ding Qian and the others did not seem to have that much experience, and it was just like that. They wasted half a month of time for nothing.

Fortunately, this time wasn't irreparable. As his roommate and without competition and interests, Ox King didn't mind passing on some of his experience to them.

Ding Qian and the others were relatively ignorant about it, but that did not mean that they did not have enough intelligence.

After hearing Ox King explain how to do it properly, the three of them were suddenly enlightened. Ding Qian and Eagles even directly said that it was no wonder that Manager was so indifferent towards them, it was because these joints were obstructing them. After realizing this, not only the two of them, even Qiu Shuitian couldn't sit still anymore. He didn't even bother to drink with Ox King anymore and just left in a hurry.

All three of them possessed Level 3 of Qi Refinement and Cultivation Level s, so they didn't lack those two or three Spirit Stone s.

The truth was the same. After they left for around an hour, they returned. Among them, Ding Qian and Eagles were beaming with joy, showing that the matter had been settled. Although Qiu Shuitian still had a cold expression, from the corner of his eye, one could still see a hint of joy.

At this time, Ox King had only drunk about half of the first jar of wine. After the three of them got into a good mood, they came over and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Drink!" Even Qiu Shuitian drank half a bowl of wine under Ding Qian's persuasion.

It was impossible for four people to get drunk from such a pot of wine. On the other hand, they were in high spirits after drinking it. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity, they invited the few of them to the night market in the sect to take a look. Perhaps, they could even get some good items. This suggestion was immediately agreed upon by Ding Qian. Along the way, he also pulled Ox King and Qiu Shuitian, and directly ordered everyone to go. If they were to find good things, everyone could gather Spirit Stone and buy them.

Because Ox King had been on a mission all this time, he had never heard of a night market, so he asked.

Although Ding Qian didn't receive any sect contribution points for the past half month, he had collected a lot of information. After hearing Ox King's question, he said, "This night market is something that appeared 200 years ago. At that time, it was organized by the Servant Hall disciples to facilitate the exchange of resources. After that, as time passed, all of the outer disciples of the Alkaid Peak participated in it, and it continued to this day. "

"All outer court disciples are participating?!" Ox King was stunned and said, "This scale is not small at all!"

"That's right!" Eagles replied: "The Controlling Beast House has fifty thousand cultivators and forty thousand outer disciples. You can imagine how lively this kind of market is. I've been there twice, and the scene is no different from the medium-sized cultivation market outside. "

"Alright then, let's go take a look!" Wu Tie nodded and also invited Qiu Shuitian along the way. The four of them then went to the night market.

Just as Eagles said, the school's night market was indeed very lively.

Moreover, this night market was not in the open like the ordinary markets of cultivators outside. Instead, it used the broad artificial basement provided by the sect. This underground room was 300 feet high and three or four miles wide. It was so long that one couldn't even see the end of it. Although this could be due to the large number of people moving and blocking their line of sight in the night market, this kind of magnificent building showed off the magnanimity and magnanimity of a big sect.

That's right, it was not with the power of the Controlling Beast Sect, who could sustain such a unique trading market, and not to mention the light lighting array in the basement, I estimated that the consumption rate would be more than a few hundred Spirit Stone every night.

One had to say, the trading night market within the sect had left a deep impression on people.

Ox King was also able to clearly see the surrounding scene, causing his heart to tremble slightly. Only after a moment did Ding Qian urge him to go in, only then did he come back to his senses, and said: "This night market, what items do we usually trade?"

"Items!" Ding Qian smacked his lips and said, "That's great!"

"Yeah, there are trades for all kinds of items." Eagles also followed: "For example, Talisman s, magic tools, Spirit Beast s, pill s, these cultivation mainstream consumables, are basically all available for sale. If he happened to run into one, he would also find some rare items such as formation plates. I also heard that there were people selling cultivation techniques last time. However, it was said that the elders of the sect interfered, and the cultivation technique was taken away by the sect. Of course, they provided some Spirit Stone to the seller. "

"So it's like that." Ox King nodded and said, "It looks like it's about the same as the normal market outside."

"Under normal circumstances, it's indeed about the same." Ding Qian smiled and said, "But there are also some activities that have characteristics of the sect. For example, every tenth day, there would be a collection of Spirit Beast s, or Spirit Beast eggs for sale. The competition for the seven Spirit Beast s and seven Spirit Beast s is even more exciting! "

"Spirit Beast battle?!" Ox King was startled and said: "It's like fighting a chicken or a dog, letting the Spirit Beast fight?!"

"That's right!" Eagles continued: "Today just happens to be seventeen, and in a little while, there will be a competition of Spirit Beast. Senior Ox, if you're interested, you might as well go and take a look, and try using your hands to pressure others, maybe you can even earn some Spirit Stone flowers! "

"You can still bet?" Ox King's eyes lit up and he said, "The limit?"

"Of course not." Eagles scratched his head and said: "But we outer sect disciples, especially the Service Hall disciples, don't have a lot of Spirit Stone. Usually, everyone would only have one or two pieces, with the most Spirit Stone suppressing them, so winning or losing was not a big deal. Only the disciples who were personally led by the elders of the Hundred Herb Hall would make a big move. And the battles between Spirit Beast s are often the ones that attract their attention. "

"So it's like that …" Ox King nodded and did not inquire further.

In fact, this much information was more than enough for him. He was actually betting on Spirit Beast s in the Controlling Beast sect, which made him quite interested. Because in a battle of pure Spirit Beast, if one wanted to win with a bet, the most important thing was one's eyesight. And judging from the Spirit Beast's eyesight, although he didn't have much, an existence like the Controlling Beast could definitely be called a heaven defying level.

With the help of Controlling Beast, would it still be difficult to win against Spirit Stone?!

After a brief pause, the corner of Ox King's mouth curled up. After the battle at Luoying Mountain, it was not easy for him to amass some wealth, and he even lost track of his pants. Later on, in order to hatch the Spirit Devouring Worm, he smashed out all of his remaining Spirit Stone s. Although he sold a piece of Jade Plate and got another one hundred and twenty Spirit Stone, but look at his pitiful possessions in the Storage Bag …

There were one hundred and seventeen Spirit Stone, four Golden Bell Barrier Talismans, eight Energy Recovery Pills, two bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills, twenty-four pellets, a low-grade magic tool, Sharp Gold Flying Knife, and a bottle of Earth Yellow Pellets that he was temporarily unable to use.

Just thinking about it made him feel weak, and he had no confidence at all.

Thus, ever since Ox King entered the Controlling Beast Sect, he had been thinking about how to obtain some things. However, he had been on a mission for the past half month, and he hadn't had the time. Now that he had suddenly discovered a way to make money, he was naturally overjoyed.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ox King then strolled around with Ding Qian and the others, and it was about time for the Spirit Beast fight.

The place where Spirit Beast fought was on the side of the basement, in another wide hall. Even though it was only a quarter of the size of the night market, it was quite spectacular. Other than the Spirit Beast Arena that had a circumference of three hundred meters in the center of the room, the rest of the viewing platforms could accommodate fifteen thousand people at the same time. In addition, the ceiling of this basement, including its surroundings, was inlaid with low-grade Darksteel.

Although Ox King and the other three had rushed there earlier, it was not too early either. When they arrived, there would be at least a thousand people in the battle arena.

Moreover, the thousand plus people were divided into two groups, each surrounding a cage made of black iron on either side of the arena, and evaluating the Spirit Beast in the cage. It was obvious that they wanted to judge the upcoming competition between the Spirit Beast s.

Ox King looked at them a few times and realized that the Spirit Beast on both sides had the level of level two Lower Grade. The only difference was that one was a giant tiger, while the other was an ice snow leopard.

Amongst these two Spirit Beast, many people were clearly more optimistic about the Wind Fire Great Tiger. After all, this was a relatively rare dual attribute Spirit Beast, and the two attributes were able to borrow each other's strength. Moreover, the Wind Fire Tiger was also as big as the Ice Snow Leopard, and its roars of rage were even more imposing. Although that snow leopard looked calm and collected, it looked a bit weaker no matter what. It didn't have much of a chance to win.

After a while, the sect also gave a payout rate.

The Fire and Wind Tiger, 1: 1.2.

Frost Leopard, 1: 1.7.

Such a payout undoubtedly gave the person who was optimistic about the Firestorm Way more confidence.

Although one to one to two, a bet of five Spirit Stone could only be made to win one piece, as long as one could get the word "win", no one would dislike it. Thus, after a quarter of an hour, the betting stakes for the Firestorm Way Tiger's victory had already reached more than six hundred Spirit Stone s. As for the Ice Snow Leopard, there were quite a few cultivators who bet against them, but this was, after all, a small minority. At the same time, the number of bets announced was only a pitiful hundred or so Spirit Stone.

The huge difference between the two sides also affected the people that came after. When the stage was sealed, the Spirit Stone s on both sides had already become more than 1,700 and 400, respectively.

The difference in the number of people betting on had actually reached as much as one thousand three hundred Spirit Stone.

Ox King was speechless at the amount of bets. According to the ratio given by the dealer, no matter which side won, they would be able to earn money without losing anything. The only difference was that if the Wind Fire Great Tiger won, the manor would only earn them a few dozen Spirit Stone. However, if the Ice Snow Leopard blew up, that would be a huge profit of over a thousand Spirit Stone. No wonder the sect didn't ban gambling, but instead made a lot of money out of it.

Thinking about it for a moment, Ox King started to despise the Zhuang family.

Outer sect disciples, especially those from the Servant Hall, had already had a difficult life. The fact that someone from the sect was still sucking in blood was truly something that people could not get used to!

However, even if he despised them in his heart, when Ding Qian and the others asked Ox King if he wanted to play a game … This guy's face immediately became serious, and after pondering for a while, he resolutely said, "Of course I have to gamble." But a small gamble was meaningless. Even if he won, he wouldn't be able to earn much Spirit Stone. If you want to play, then go ahead and play, all thanks to your wealth, twenty Spirit Stone s have won against the Wind Fire Giant Tiger! "
