An hour later, the golden crow hung high in the sky, making the surface of the street golden and elongating a thin shadow.
Su Li stopped and looked at the familiar gate of the Huangxing Chamber of Commerce.
"Guling Gambling Battle …"
Her eyes flashed with a hint of interest.
Xuan An didn't explain clearly in the message. She happened to be in Tianyi City and didn't leave. It was okay to go in and have a look.
After that, she stepped up to the crowd of casual practitioners in front of the gate. She waved her hand and pushed the crowd away insensibly. Soon she squeezed to the front.
"Fellow practitioners in the cultivation circle, the venue of the Guling Gambling Battle is full. It's useless to wait any longer. It's better to leave."
The serious guard of the chamber of commerce responded coldly, but it couldn't extinguish the enthusiasm of many casual practitioners.
"Let us go in!"
"Even if I have to stand and watch, I am willing to!"
"…"
Seeing that the situation was gradually out of control, the guard's face changed slightly and he retreated to ask for instructions. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Our lord said that if you want to stand and watch, you can. But you have to pay an entrance fee of 10,000 high-grade spiritual jades! "
"What?!"
"Isn't this bullying? I am standing and watching. Why should I be charged ten times the entrance fee? "
"Your Huangxing Chamber of Commerce is too much!"
"Yes!"
The guard was scolded, but he was not annoyed and continued, "Our lord also said that the space on the third floor is limited, and we can't force you. There are only 1,000 standing tickets. If you don't want to leave, we Huangxing Chamber of Commerce never force you to buy or sell. "
As soon as he said that, everyone immediately stopped talking. The next moment, countless spiritual stones were thrown to the guard.
Seeing this, Su Li didn't bother to use other means. After handing in the spiritual jades, she mixed into the crowd and entered the third floor of the Chamber of Commerce. The messy discussion suddenly reduced by 90%, and many practitioners who had just reached Jindan Realm showed horror.
"The pressure of nature's test …"
Su Li's eyes flickered, and she saw the acquaintances sitting in the first place of the VIP seats, including Xuan Jingzhou who was resting with his eyes closed.
"The lord of Jiguang Sect …"
Su Li glanced at Xuan An, who was also sitting in the VIP seat. She quickly retracted her gaze and looked at the seats of other sects.
At this moment, a dignified voice echoed throughout the hall. "Cultivators, please take your seats. For those cultivators who haven't managed to buy a seat, our Chamber of Commerce has already prepared a cushion. Follow the guiding light to find your seat."
Then she saw a weak suction from the jade rune she got from the guard. She immediately let go of the jade rune and let it float to a futon on the stairs not far away.
Seeing this, she disregarded the gazes of the surrounding cultivators and sat down slowly.
But before she could settle down, she heard a young man's voice, which was extremely soft and almost crying, coming from beside her ear.
"This … big sister, can you exchange places with this little brother?"
Su Li turned her head and saw a young and extremely beautiful teenager looking at her for help. His thin figure was held in the arms of a fat female practitioner with a ferocious face. His skin was rolling, and the love and possessiveness in his eyes made Su Li feel goosebumps even though she was in a stable state of mind.
Sensing Su Li's gaze, the fat female practitioner suddenly turned her head and showed a fierce look.
"Bitch, what are you looking at? You dare to peep at my boy toy. I will dig out your eyes! "
Su Li's eyes were indifferent. She turned her head and ignored him. Even if the little boy looked very pitiful, she did not have the slightest pity.
The cultivation circle was cruel, and she … was not a saint, not even a kind person. She didn't have so much time to meddle in other people's business.
Seeing Su Li's indifferent performance, the teenager's eyes were watery. Tears slipped down his little face, and his soul also trembled slightly …
Huh?
Su Li suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him. In the fierce female practitioner's eyes, she pointed at the middle of the teenager's eyebrows.
The more familiar soul fluctuation came, and Su Li was slightly surprised.
This teenager was Tang Lei in the Reincarnation Mirror.
Her memory of Tang Lei was not strange at all, and could even be said to be profound.
The first time they met in the Reincarnation Mirror, he was bullied by many childes in Yunjing. His body was smeared with shit-smelling herbs, and he was also poisoned by his brothers. He was fat. Later, he was cured by Su Li, and he even persuaded his grandfather to rebel.
"Your bone age is fifty-eight. You have reincarnated, but your memory is gone."
Su Li's eyes were complicated. She had met many old friends since her rebirth, but it was the first time that she had reincarnated.
The teenager only felt a coolness between his eyebrows. Although he did not recall all kinds of things in his previous life, his mind was extremely clear. When he heard Su Li's words, his eyes widened, "Do you know me in my previous life?"
The teenager's first thought was that it was absurd.
Even though he knew a lot of things about the cultivation circle under the indoctrination of the fierce female practitioner, he always felt that many of those things were deceptive.
"By the way, Master!"
The teenager suddenly panicked. He raised the heavy arm on his shoulder and shook it off fiercely. When he looked back, he saw the fierce female practitioner giggling and nodding to him.
"She has no chance to bully you anymore."
Su Li's gentle voice came, which made the teenager's heart tremble. Then he saw the ordinary-looking sister stand up and point to the rush cushion. The ugly female practitioner naturally stood up and made way for her. She sat on the rush cushion and bowed her head without saying a word.
"This …"
The teenager was stunned and suddenly understood. He looked at Su Li with tears instantly. His lips trembled, and his hands grasped Su Li's sleeves tightly. He was so excited that he did not know what to say.
"Since you have the opportunity to come in, you can see the grotesque and dazzling cultivation circle. It is much more wonderful than you think."
Su Li did not comfort him, but said in a calm tone.
The teenager had endured for decades under the fierce female practitioner, but he could still maintain his state of mind and was not so unbearable. After a moment of adjustment, he quickly calmed down, but the gratitude in his eyes was so strong that it could hardly be dispersed.
Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, the teenager glanced at the practitioners around him who seemed to be unaware of it, and then glanced at the many VIP seats who did not notice the change at all. Finally, he understood what kind of practitioner he met.
He worded it in his mind for a moment, and finally only said cautiously, "Little brother … Tang Li, sister … do you really know my previous life?"
Su Li smiled slightly, "You are still surnamed Tang. You look much better now than in your previous life."
Tang Li blushed, scratched his head, and whispered embarrassedly, "Really? I was caught by my master at the age of fifteen and became like this after eating a lot of things. Besides … I have not grown taller for decades, and I have always maintained the appearance of a fifteen-year-old. Otherwise … I should look the same as I did in my previous life, right? "
How could Su Li not see that Tang Li's body had been deliberately modified? Although he was forcibly promoted to Jindan Realm and had a long life, he had no strength to truss a chicken. His foundation was completely destroyed. Even if she wanted to cure him, it would take a lot of energy.
Fortunately, Tang Li was only fifty-eight years old, and she had enough time to save him.
Seeing Su Li thinking, Tang Li, who had learned to observe people's expressions, suddenly quieted down. He looked at the extremely spacious arena in the center of the field, and a person appeared.
It was Yin Jue, the First Elder of the Huangxing Chamber of Commerce!
A big shot!
His eyes widened slightly, and he watched the bustle freely for the first time. He had only heard of such a person from his original master, but he had never seen him.
"Guling Gambling Battle, the five-year agreement, starts today!"
Yin Jue glanced at the audience, and his steady voice came into everyone's ears. It was short and powerful, gentle and dignified.
"I don't think I need to say more about the reason of the gambling battle. This battle is about life and death! The winner will get the immortal poisonous insect 'Sound Acquaintance'! "
As he said this, he waved his sleeve, and a black shell suddenly appeared on the round stone platform at the highest point of the arena.
"Wow —"
There was a small discussion in the venue.
"It turns out to be an immortal poisonous insect. No wonder the five major sects are fighting for it!"
"No, this immortal poisonous insect is unpopular. Although its effect is magical, it can't attract the five major sects!"
"I know! It's that year … "
"…"
Tang Li didn't know what an immortal poisonous insect was, but he clearly felt that his sister beside him stopped breathing for a moment when she heard these three words.
"My sister is very concerned about the immortal poisonous insect, Sound Acquaintance …"
Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and his eyes turned. He searched for the rumors he had heard from the vicious female practitioner over the years. He had been groveling for decades, and he had long been accustomed to pleasing others. Even if the sister was by no means the original master, he did so subconsciously.
"Sound Acquaintance, Sound Acquaintance …"
Suddenly, Tang Li's eyes brightened. He pulled Su Li's sleeve and whispered, "Sister, I know. But the original master once said that this matter is of great importance, and it can't be heard by others!"
Su Li heard the intermittent noises around her, and her mind was fluctuating. Seeing that Tang Li's words didn't seem to be false, she waved her hand to open a miniature Bounded Domain, and said softly, "Go ahead."
Tang Li immediately poured out everything he knew.
"It's related to a secret force in the cultivation circle, 'Linli Building'! No one knows who founded the Linli Building, but many holy sects are very afraid of it. They hate it very much, but they dare not to act rashly. I heard from the original master that Sound Acquaintance is an opportunity to draw the snake out of the hole. If the Linli Building doesn't snatch the poisonous insect, it means that everything is … Uh … If the poisonous insect falls into the hands of the Linli Building, uh … "
Tang Li scratched his head when he said this, "I just follow the words of the original master, and I'm not very clear about some things."
"That's enough."
Su Li smiled, and Tang Li couldn't help but feel cold in his heart when he saw the smile.
"You tell me."
Su Li said again. Tang Li was confused, but he saw that the "original master" sitting on the rush cushion next to him turned her head obediently and continued in a low voice, "The Linli Building reappeared in the world, and holy sects were frightened and afraid. They took this opportunity to set up 'Sound Acquaintance' to test the authenticity of the Linli Building. After all, the owner of the Linli Building … has been dead for many years."
"Hahaha …"
When Su Li heard this, she laughed softly, which made Tang Li's blood freeze again.
"Little Xuanan, Little Xuanan, you really helped me a lot."
