"As everyone knows, in addition to the Chamber of Commerce, there is also a black market in the major county towns. Things that can and cannot be bought in the Chamber of Commerce can be bought in the black market. However, the prices in the black market are very expensive..."
"And the biggest feature of the black market is the life and death fighting arena!"
"The life and death fighting arena is open to everyone, but once you step on the stage, it's a fight to the death. Either your opponent dies, or you die!"
"All the warriors on stage will receive corresponding rewards for every victory they receive over an opponent. The rewards include points, elixirs, medicinal herbs, gold coins... In short, the more you win, the richer the rewards!"
"For someone like me who has a low level of cultivation, I can only fight once at most, and the rewards I get are not much, not enough to buy spiritual medicine. Therefore, I can only 'bet' before going on stage, and mortgage the Mysterious Pearl Grass to the Life and Death Arena to challenge people with more points than me. If I win, the Life and Death Arena will return the Mysterious Pearl Grass and reward me with another Mysterious Pearl Grass... Of course, if I lose... I can only lie dead on the arena and die on the spot..."
"It's really a fight for life..." Lou Qianxue nodded: "This black pearl grass is yours, but how do you get to the life and death fighting arena?"
"Miss, are you really going to..."
Lou Qianxue nodded nonchalantly: "Well, I haven't seen it before, I want to see it for myself."
"Well... Well, miss, I'll take you there. But that kind of place is not fun. You might regret it if you go there."
"Let's go."
The two walked towards the life and death fighting arena.
Halfway through, I saw a group of people gathered together, seemingly watching something and pointing and talking.
"There are many people who come to Lingxi County to participate in the alchemy conference, and many of them have grudges against each other, but it is rare to see people gamble their lives like them."
"Yes, yes, I wonder if the man named Ye Zhuixun will accept the challenge."
"Again, gambling with life..." Lou Qianxue and the middle-aged man passed by here, and after hearing this, she couldn't help but shook her head. In the Tianxuan Continent where the strong are respected, human life is like an ant.
but…
"Hmm? Ye Zhuixun? Same name? Or... is he really my cheap apprentice?"
Lou Qianxue paused slightly.
"Ye Zhuixun, what, you don't dare to gamble? Hahahaha, you coward! But it's true, no matter what, you are just a dog beside Miss Su! A dog is a dog, how can it live like a human? How dare you compete with me in alchemy?"
"You!" The voice was filled with anger and trembled slightly.
“… It’s really him! But… is someone bullying my disciple?” Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes and walked towards the crowd.
"A dog, you still want to participate in the alchemy conference? How ridiculous, Ye Zhuixun, are you worthy? Humph, I really don't know how you, a dog slave, deceived Miss Su in the past. Today, I will take care of you on behalf of Miss Su who was deceived by you!"
Lou Qianxue walked into the crowd and saw Ye Zhuixun, who was pale, clenched his fists and trembling all over. She also saw the fat man opposite Ye Zhuixun, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a greasy face.
That fat guy... With Ye Zhuixun's cultivation, he could crush him with just one finger! But why did Ye Zhuixun allow himself to be humiliated and not take action
Seeing that Lou Qianxue was interested, the middle-aged man who led the way quickly explained: "Miss, in our medicine capital Lingxi County, except for the life and death fighting arena, people never fight with martial arts, but with pills."
"The alchemy competition is to make elixirs on the same stage. The one with higher purity of elixir wins, and the one with lower purity loses. The alchemy competition is like a life-and-death martial arts arena. It is a fight to the death. The loser dies."
"I see." Lou Qianxue nodded, her eyes falling on Ye Zhuixun: "It seems that I will have to stay in Lingxi County for a few more days..."
However, she didn't know that something happened to the younger generation of the Lou family in the imperial city two days ago...
