#170 - Gambling fight, Danling!
Niu Youde was honest and simple, without much guile. He didn't know much about cultivation, so he didn't feel anything was amiss.
However, Sha Luosheng was somewhat silent.
He really hadn't expected that this newly recognized junior brother of his was hiding so deeply.
Silently, he had already achieved the Celestial Realm, and even Sha Luosheng hadn't noticed.
This made him think highly of Gu Yuan.
But Sha Luosheng still didn't think Gu Yuan could win against Liu Xinjun.
Liu Xinjun had been cultivating in the Celestial Realm for nearly twenty years and had now reached the Great Accomplishment stage.
Once he took another step and broke through to Great Perfection, he could try to gather the Three Treasures, condense them into one, and forge a Golden Core!
Gu Yuan had at most only recently broken through to the Celestial Realm and was still quite a distance from the Minor Accomplishment stage. The gap in cultivation was not something that could be easily bridged.
… …
"Celestial Realm Divine Power? Good! Junior Brother Gu indeed did not disappoint me!"
Seeing that Gu Yuan shattered his condensed Qi weapon with a single sword Qi, Liu Xinjun was not angry but delighted, laughing and saying, "In that case, Junior Brother Gu, take my blade!"
Just as he was about to attack, Gu Yuan raised his hand to stop him:
"Hold on!!"
Liu Xinjun's smile remained unchanged, but his gaze sharpened: "What? Does Junior Brother Gu perhaps want to go back on his word?"
"Going back on my word is not the case."
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "You and I are just sparring, which is really meaningless. Why not add a little wager?"
"Wager?"
Liu Xinjun was a little surprised and said, "What does Junior Brother mean…"
Gu Yuan said directly: "You and I spar, each taking out something as a wager to act as an incentive. The winner can obtain the other's item."
"Since Junior Brother is interested, this senior brother naturally has no objections."
Liu Xinjun agreed very readily.
He didn't think he would lose to someone who had just broken through to the Celestial Realm.
He thought for a while, took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, and opened the stopper. A rich medicinal fragrance immediately emanated, spreading throughout the valley.
Anyone who smelled this medicinal fragrance felt relaxed, and the circulation of true Qi within their bodies accelerated slightly.
"Hmm? This medicinal fragrance is somewhat complex. It's like Jade Essence Pill, and also like Blood Spirit Pill, and there's also a hint of Marrow Replenishing Pill…"
An older middle-aged deacon who was skilled in alchemy sniffed and smelled some of the medicinal aromas. As he smelled, he was stunned:
"That's not right! Why is there also the scent of Sun Moon Azure Jade Pill in here? This is a top-grade spiritual pill that only Yin God-level ancestors are qualified to take to yangize their Yin Gods!"
He seemed extremely surprised, saying incredulously: "Brother Liu, what kind of pill is this? Its medicinal properties are so complex?"
Facing this middle-aged deacon, Liu Xinjun did not dare to be negligent, cupping his fist and saying: "Replying to Senior Brother, this is not a spiritual pill."
"Not a spiritual pill?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged deacon was stunned, muttering to himself: "Then what is it?"
"Wait, could this thing be…"
The middle-aged deacon seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly widening.
However, he didn't say the words in his mouth, which made the curious people next to him, who were as anxious as if they were being scratched by a hundred claws, couldn't wait to tear open his mouth to prevent him from deliberately keeping them in suspense.
For a time, many people cast their gazes over, some with astonishment.
Liu Xinjun used his true Qi like a thin veil to extract the thing from the jade bottle, which was a pure Yuan Qi of seven colors.
However, this group of Yuan Qi was somewhat strange and peculiar, and it could tumble and wriggle on its own, changing its state, sometimes turning into auspicious clouds, sometimes turning into small beasts, sometimes turning into Ganoderma, sometimes turning into the sun and moon…
But no matter how it changed, it could not escape Liu Xinjun's control. He said:
"That's right, this thing is a Pill Spirit."
"It is born from a trace of creation Qi inherited from countless spiritual pills and medicines. It is a semi-spiritual and semi-material existence that can absorb the power and medicinal properties of pills to survive and grow, and has the ability to distinguish the authenticity of pills."
"Some alchemy masters will try every means to seek a Pill Spirit, because this kind of spiritual object is born to sort out medicinal properties and stabilize the furnace fire, which is of great help to alchemy."
Speaking of this, Liu Xinjun put the Pill Spirit back into the jade bottle, looked at Gu Yuan, and smiled: "Junior Brother Gu, I will use this as the wager for this battle. I wonder what Junior Brother plans to use to bet?"
Pill Spirit… Gu Yuan took a deep look at the jade bottle in the other party's hand, with a few more guesses and expectations in his heart.
Then, he took out the B Wood Essence he had obtained from the Deceased Tree True Lord before:
"This thing is a B Wood Essence, condensed by a Yin God-level giant. Its value is undoubtedly high, no less than your Pill Spirit. What does Senior Brother think?"
Liu Xinjun's gaze condensed, and he looked at the B Wood Essence in Gu Yuan's hand a few times, then nodded: "This thing is of excellent quality, naturally it can!"

With the wager determined, the onlookers were also excited and perked up, the heart of gossip burning brightly.
"Junior Brother Gu, my 'Seven Kill White Tiger Blade' is a bit fierce, Junior Brother must be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of smoke emerged from the back of Liu Xinjun's head, and a white long knife flew out, its blade light was fierce and unparalleled, exuding a fierce and evil murderous aura, slashing towards Gu Yuan!
From Gu Yuan's perspective, this white long knife was clearly a bone knife, and it should have been refined from the spine of some kind of demon, fused with some other spiritual iron and strange gold.
It was a blade of slaughter, with the grade of a top-grade magic weapon, and it probably had forty or fifty layers of restrictions.
Gu Yuan had also seen magic weapons refined with bones as materials. For example, the White Bone Yin Fiend Sword that Old Freak Xuan You refined with people was made with Qian Yunfeng, who had the fate of the Three Fiend Boys, as the material.
Although Old Freak Xuan You boasted that he could eventually refine a top-grade magic weapon, after obtaining the 'Rakshasa True Scripture,' Gu Yuan knew that Old Freak Xuan You was actually bragging at the time.
Top-grade magic weapons were something that ordinary rogue cultivators could only dream of. Even if Old Freak Xuan You planned for more than ten years, it was absolutely impossible to refine it successfully.
Adding many fiend ghosts, he could at most refine a middle-grade magic weapon.
And that White Bone Yin Fiend Sword was almost the difference between soil and jade compared to the long knife in front of him, there was simply no comparison!
Clang!
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and the Silver Dragon Sword had already turned into a snow-bright and dazzling sword light flying out from the top of his head, its murderous intent piercing to the bone, no less than Liu Xinjun's blade light!
"Then this little brother will offend you!"
Gu Yuan smiled lightly, and the sword light greeted the incoming blade light.
Clang!
The sword light and blade light collided and intertwined, one silver-white and snow-bright, the other white and piercing.
The blade light was fierce and domineering, ferocious and brutal, like a white fierce tiger roaring to the sky, its murderous aura earth-shattering.
The sword light was sharp and unparalleled, captivating the soul, turning into a ferocious dragon with silver-white scales all over its body, seeming to be able to overturn rivers and seas, making a sky-shaking dragon roar!
The blade light and sword Qi collided and intertwined, clanging, like blacksmithing, deafening, and the sound spread in all directions, shaking the cliffs around the valley, all of which began to shed gravel.
