Thinking of his original decision, Mr. Gong felt somewhat complicated.
Judging from the strength Xu Chunniang has shown in recent days, she is stronger than other human immortals who have just ascended.
But anyone who has the confidence to enter the arena must have some real skills. The immortal crystals in the arena are not so easy to obtain. Almost every victory requires the price of blood.
But this is someone else's choice after all, and he has already advised them, so it is not good to interfere too much.
"Since you have made up your mind, I won't say much. I can only wish you all the best."
Seeing that Mr. Gong had a serious expression, as if she had walked a path of no return, Xu Chunniang pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't worry, I won't die easily.
I still owe you a lot of immortal crystals, and I have to return them to you no matter what."
Old Gong shook his head speechlessly. "If you chop down cedars with me, you can earn a few thousand immortal crystals a year. If you work hard for a few years, you can get out of Zhangwei Mountain. Why take the risk
Like me now, I have already achieved the status of a terrestrial immortal, and I have a well-paid job, and I can also earn some immortal crystals on the side, isn’t that great?”
"I know that Master Gong advised me for my own good, but I want to become stronger, settle down in a place with immortal veins, and continue to learn formations."
Xu Chunniang's eyes showed desire and expectation. "These all require a large amount of immortal crystals. How can a little bit of immortal crystals be enough? I am not afraid of risks, I am only afraid of not having the opportunity."
"Okay, I know what you mean. If you keep talking the food will get cold. Let's eat."
Xu Chunniang just smiled and said nothing, without exposing what Mr. Gong said.
There is a formation on the eucalyptus table in Yuchun Tower, so the dishes will not get cold even if they are left for days and nights. Old Gong said this deliberately, only because he was unhappy that he could not persuade her.
Although she was grateful to Mr. Gong, she had different ideas about whether to enter the fighting arena.
Among the nine realms of immortals, the human immortal realm is only the lowest realm. Even if one relies on cutting down snow-covered pines, raising golden-feathered pheasants and doing work for thousands of years, one cannot accumulate many immortal crystals, let alone use them to practice and reach a higher realm.
The two of them stopped talking and had their meal in peace.
After eating and drinking, Mr. Gong left Yuchun Tower, touching his bulging belly and squinting his eyes in satisfaction.
"In the past, I always laughed at my old friends who spent all their immortal crystals on food and drink. Today, I know that they have not lived in vain and their ascension journey is worthwhile."
Xu Chunniang nodded in agreement. The banquet at Yuchun Tower was indeed good. She ate a lot and it was indeed the most delicious thing she had ever tasted.
"If Mr. Gong likes it, I will invite you again when I earn some immortal crystals."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gong couldn't help but glare at Xu Chunniang.
"Just the table just now cost nearly 500 immortal crystals, which is almost as much as my monthly salary. Even if you are rich, you shouldn't spend it like this.
If you make money in the fighting arena in the future, you must not squander it casually... burp!"
Xu Chunniang smiled and said, "I've taken note of what Mr. Gong taught me. Please watch your way and don't fall into the pond."
"Hey, even though I drank a lot of wine, I'm sober! This is my first time in Fuyu City. You must have broadened your horizons, right? Come on, I'll take you around Fuyu City at night!"
Unable to resist Mr. Gong’s enthusiasm, Xu Chunniang had to follow him and walked in the brightly lit streets again.
Mr. Gong was really a little drunk. He always drank in moderation, but perhaps the wine from Yuchun Tower was too mellow, which made him lose his composure without realizing it. He drank a little too much and accidentally got himself drunk.
He pointed to a bright and magnificent shop and said with regret.
“When I first came to Fuyu City, there was nothing here. Later, Fuyu City underwent several expansions and gradually evolved into what it is today.
If I had known this, I should have spent money to buy these places. Alas, what a loss! "
Old Gong looked extremely distressed, as if he had lost hundreds of thousands of immortal crystals.
This place is far away from the immortal vein. When he was still a human immortal, no one wanted this area at all. The price was very low, and it could be bought with a few hundred immortal crystals.
Unfortunately, Mr. Gong could not predict what would happen thousands of years later and missed a great opportunity in vain.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the shop in front of her, not knowing what to say to comfort Mr. Gong.
But Mr. Gong did not need her comfort. He pointed at the shop and spoke a lot with heartache, then continued walking forward.
When he arrived at the Commissioned Hall, he looked at the bustling scene in front of the hall and shook his head in grief and indignation.
“When I first ascended, the Commission Hall had just been established and there were even many rewards for becoming a Commission Hunter... But I thought these commissions were too troublesome and the rewards were too low, so I gave up.
If I had held on until now, I would have been able to stay in the Second Heaven, and even have a chance to go to the Third Heaven."
Old Gong felt so regretful. Looking back, he realized that he actually left them with quite a few opportunities when he had just ascended.
But unfortunately, he didn't seize any of these opportunities. After living for 10,000 or 20,000 years, he is still a small earthly immortal.
Xu Chunniang coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Gong, since the past is over, let it go. There is no need to dwell on the past."
Old Gong was immersed in regret and completely refused to listen to Xu Chunniang's words. Wherever he went, he would sigh and lament the unfairness of fate.
"Heaven, since you approved of my path and allowed me to ascend to this fairyland, why did you let me live such a difficult life in the first half of my life?"
Thinking back to the hardships of these years, Old Gong felt as if he was holding his breath. If an earthly immortal wanted to break through to the realm of a celestial immortal, he would need many, many immortal crystals.
In order to save up immortal crystals, he really paid too much.
Originally, hundreds of years ago, he had the opportunity to reach the realm of celestial immortal.
But he somehow offended a certain "big shot" and was not only exiled to Zongdongtian, but in order to keep the peace, he also had to pay a large sum of fairy crystals as compensation.
Old Gong was very angry, but the situation was stronger than the person. Although the person he offended was only a terrestrial immortal, he had a celestial fairy sister who lived in the third heaven. To confront the other party head-on was like hitting a rock with an egg.
“The fighting arena is certainly dangerous, but danger also brings opportunities and benefits. In the Three Heavens, many famous celestial beings have also survived countless life-and-death battles in the fighting arena.
As long as you can come out of the fighting arena alive, you will be wooed by many powerful forces and have a bright future. "
Old Gong patted Xu Chunniang on the shoulder with a melancholy tone.
"I didn't enter the fighting arena that year because I was afraid. I was afraid that I would die silently in the fighting arena without anyone to collect my body. I am no better than you!"
Xu Chunniang sighed softly, "Mr. Gong, you are drunk."
"Are you drunk? Maybe, haha."
A trace of confusion appeared in Mr. Gong's eyes, which was soon replaced by pain. He had worked diligently and hard over the years, but the results were not satisfactory...
