Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 1173: Big Gamble to Make the Country Rich
Three days before the Xuanwu Empire's medicine selection competition, a small but not small episode spread among various forces.
The ghost catcher of the Gui family and the genius boy who refined the top-grade medicine liquid in the Linshan County City Medicine Selection Competition competed in the Empire's highest competition arena.
This news was like a big stone thrown into a deep pool. Not only did the surface surge, but even the mud and fish and shrimp below were stirred up. For a while, it became the topic of discussion in the entire Xuanwu Empire.
All kinds of restaurants, teahouses, restaurants, and brothels regarded this topic as the most fashionable topic of conversation, and many people were sought after because they could understand the inside story.
There was no shortage of mutual competitions and fights in the martial arts arena of the imperial capital. After all, if too many grievances were not fought fiercely in the imperial capital's competition arena, they would often be endless for a long time.
However, the highest competition arena of the empire was not so lively. After all, those who could make the empire issue an edict to allow competitions still had to have considerable identity and status.
"Have you heard that this time the duel is between the ghost catcher and the young genius named Shen Feng."
"Hey, is this a new thing? My ears are almost callused by this news, and you are still showing it off."
"Tsk, you only know one side of the story, but you don't know that the boy is only more than 17 years old, and it is said that he is not even 18 years old."
"What, are you serious about this? Don't use any fake news to deceive me."
"The news is absolutely true. The question is whether you have anything equally real to exchange."
"Look at what you said. Aren't my wine and dishes real? I'll treat you to this meal today. Just order whatever you want."
"Tsk, this news came from the family that initiated the challenge. If you don't bring out some "dry goods", you can't exchange for my most "real" news."
"Okay, tell me your news. If it is really useful to me, Xiao Liu from Yicui Tower will let you sleep in bed tonight."
After this exchange, there was a series of obscene laughter. Then the person who started talking said slowly, "I heard that Shen Feng is not only young, but also a battle maniac. When he was in Tushan City, he was chased by the Qingtuan but he was able to escape alive. Later, the monster siege in Linshan County was the most ferocious one in the past hundred years. The kid even fought several level 2 and 3 monsters alone."
"Is this true? If you trick me and make me lose money, I will ask you for the stuff in your crotch to drink with me."
"Look at what Brother Ren said. How dare I use this kind of news to deceive people? This was said by a manager of the painter after he was drunk. I heard that the seventh master of the painting suffered a great loss at the hands of that kid."
Similar conversations and similar content are spread in many places. The two people in front of them deliberately lowered their voices when they talked, but the people at a table not far away from them heard it clearly while concentrating and calming down.
"Brother An, I didn't expect that we would encounter such a fight when we came to the imperial capital this time. I heard that the highest fighting field in the imperial capital allows betting, and there is no upper limit. In addition, the dealer has already challenged the next party. No matter how big the bet is, you can place it at will. Do you want to invest some money to play?
We have come here from afar. If we can win a lot of money, we can buy some good things at the large auction after the selection."
The conversation between the two people at the next table has been clearly heard here. One of the middle-aged men touched the big man next to him and said casually.
The big man has a full beard and a strong body like a bear. Although he is not in the main position, his own cultivation is very good and has reached the fourth level of the Qi Sensing Stage.
If Zuo Feng is here, he will definitely recognize that this person is An Xiong, the lord of Yancheng. Zuo Feng and An Xiong had an intersection at the beginning, but in the end, some cracks still appeared between the two.
The incident with Zuo Feng taught An Xiong a lesson, and also allowed him to re-examine himself. I don't know if it was because of the change in his mentality or some other reason, but after Zuo Feng left, his cultivation, which had stagnated for a long time, began to improve continuously.
In the past six months, he has gone from the early stage of the second level of the Sensing Qi Stage to the peak of the fourth level of the Sensing Qi Stage, and he is about to have the strength to break through again.
At this moment, An Xiong has a slightly different temperament than what Zuo Feng saw at the beginning. At the beginning, An Xiong was broad-minded but narrow-minded, but he had to pretend to be generous.
Now it seems that An Xiong is much calmer, as if the incident with Zuo Feng has also changed him from the inside out.
After listening to the words of the people around him, An Xiong's face did not show any expression changes, but he was thinking secretly in his heart.
During this period of time, various messages were spread in the imperial capital. Although they had just arrived not long ago, it happened that because of this duel, many people's attention was focused on the ghost catcher and Shen Feng.
In this way, it became much easier to get the news about Shen Feng. An Xiong is now 70% sure that the young man he saw at the beginning should be the Zuo Feng he knew.
Although the other party's appearance and appearance have changed a lot, he still deduced from some clues that the young man is Zuo Feng.
He has a good talent in alchemy and has excellent qualities in fighting. In all his stories that seem like legends, true or false, we can see the figure of the young man who walked out of Zuojia Village at the beginning.
The reason why 30% of them are still uncertain is that after Zuo Feng left Ye Lin, he did not go straight to the imperial capital, but chose to go from the junction of Ye Lin and Gu Huang to the large area of the remnant of Tianping Mountains.
Zuo Feng encountered the powerful forces of Gu Huang Empire there and killed several of their training disciples. Naturally, he concealed this matter if he could.
Later, although the people of the Kang family knew about the things in the chaotic land, they wisely chose to help him conceal it. So the things before participating in the competition to select medicine children in the Xuanwu Empire were actually fabricated by the Kang family to help Zuo Feng.
Others may not have doubts, but An Xiong deliberately combined his understanding of Zuo Feng and some of Zuo Feng's experiences in the Xuanwu Empire, so he was 70% sure to confirm that Shen Feng was the original Zuo Feng.
After listening to the words of the people around him, An Xiong was thinking about why Zuo Feng was entangled in the internal affairs of the Xuanwu Empire.
This time, Ye Lin's team came here not for the medicine contest, but because they wanted to participate in the trial after the contest to find out the details of the Xuanwu Empire.
But An Xiong himself had some plans of his own. His daughter Anya had been poisoned for more than half a year, and he was of course very anxious as a father. But he was the lord of a city in the empire after all, and it was impossible for him to abandon Yancheng and his family and run to the Xuanwu Empire to find an antidote.
He thought that this action of the Ye Lin Empire was an opportunity, and he would help his daughter find a way to get the antidote no matter how difficult it was. He did not put all his hopes on Zuo Feng, after all, he was just a young warrior, and even if he had many means and secrets that he could not understand, the possible amount was limited after all.
If this Shen Feng was the Shen Feng he knew, then he might be participating in the medicine contest for his daughter's antidote, but what was going on with the Gui family and the painter, and what was going on with this contest, he had no idea for a while.
Found that the middle-aged man who had just spoken was looking at him with sharp eyes, he said helplessly: "Listening to what those people said, I think this guy called Shen Feng has a better chance of winning. If you want to bet, bet on this kid."
The middle-aged man who spoke before frowned unconsciously, looked at An Xiong with a look like a fool, and said: "Brother An, your cultivation has improved so fast during this period that even I have to admire you. But you have to sharpen your eyes, otherwise no matter how much property you have, you can't stand such a toss."
An Xiong was not surprised, but showed an expression of "what do you mean", looking at the other party with a smile.
"Don't you think about it? The ghost catcher is the leader of the younger generation of the Ghost Family. The painter's painting level 7 is not something that the painter can reach. Moreover, the ghost catcher has been famous for a while. Under the special skills of the Ghost Family, his cultivation level is two levels higher than that of Shen Feng. There is no suspense in this fight."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man looked around and finally said: "This fight is between the two super families of the Ghost Family and the Painter, and this challenge was also initiated by them. If everyone is overwhelmingly betting on On the ghost catcher, how can you think they can make any profit?
You see these people occasionally leak some information to others during their chat, but I see that they are clearly sent by the two families of Huagui to spread the news, in order to make those who are not aware of the situation, put their money on Shen Feng without knowing it.
This small bet can be entertaining, but big bets, big bets can make a country rich, rich enough to rival a country! "
The middle-aged man smiled, and patted An Xiong on the shoulder like a junior educating a junior.
An Xiong smiled and shook his head, saying: "But I think that this guy called Shen Feng has a better chance of winning."
When these words came out, the other people at the same table couldn't help but look at him, as if they were looking at a fool.
All kinds of news spread everywhere, and those various performances of Zuo Feng in Tushan Town, Tushan City, and Linshan County City were spread by people adding fuel to the fire. Originally just a genius in alchemy, now he has become a martial arts fanatic with amazing fighting power among the new generation.
But at this moment, Shen Feng, who was said to be extraordinary, was sitting in the training room with a bitter face, and his cultivation had regressed to the level of the initial stage of bone refining.
