Xuanqing and the others entered the First Jade Tower, planning to follow the "Stone Gambling Immortal", Jieyin, and play a few rounds of gambling on mystical stones.
Actually, this stone gambling is quite simple; it's basically equivalent to paying for a mystery box.
What you can unveil depends entirely on skill and luck.
"Subhuti Daoist, I'll also give it a try!"
The Stone Gambling Immortal Jieyin glanced at Xuanqing, seemed to recognize him, and nodded slightly.
Endless dazzling light flashed by, and a strange stone sparkling like stars appeared in front of Xuanqing.
"Please go ahead, Daoist."
After paying a hefty sum of Innate spiritual materials, Xuanqing carefully picked from the Seven Treasures Strange Stones provided by Jieyin.
"Let's go with this one." Xuanqing chose a Glazed Glass Strange Stone.
Jieyin expressionlessly sliced open the Glazed Glass Strange Stone.
In that instant, the air was filled with flowing lights and a plethora of marvels, as a bamboo stalk, resembling emerald, drifted out.
Wafting waves of fragrance spread out, seemingly curling around the hearts of all the immortals, evoking a sense of tranquility and peace.
But this moment of calm was soon shattered by the commotion of the immortals.
"Six Roots Pure Bamboo?!"
"The Innate Spirit Root was really unveiled! The Stone Gambling Immortal does have stuff!"
"How come I opened six hundred and forty-eight strange stones and not even a hair came out?!"
"Damn it, are you acting as shills?!"
"There must be a trick! Definitely a trick!"
"I can't believe it, it's fake, all fake! This must be an illusion!"
At the sight of Six Roots Pure Bamboo, many of the unlucky gambling 'dogs' among the immortals' defenses crumbled.
They'd rather believe it was an illusion than accept it as true.
"There must be some powerful being blending in with us, making the fake look real, influencing my luck!"
"Fellow Daoist, calm down. You wouldn't want to be hung up by Turtle Shell Binding, would you?"
Compared to the explosive crowd of immortals, Xuanqing was much more composed.
He reached out and stored the Six Roots Pure Bamboo into his sleeves.
Jieyin also maintained order with an unperturbed face.
As if losing an Innate Spirit Root wasn't a big deal.
Of course, it wasn't a big deal.
This Six Roots Pure Bamboo wasn't that top-notch Innate Spirit Root, but a thing cultivated from a cut branch.
It belonged to the Innate category and could be used to forge Innate Spiritual Treasures.
But for Jieyin, it was just the matter of cutting a piece of bamboo.
The happiness of the Daoist is what truly matters.
"We'll also try our hand at this!" Jing Yao, dragging Yu Chen, went to gamble on stones.
It soon caused another sensation.
Jing Yao, the Upper Venerable, unveiled a lotus seed of Merit Golden Lotus.
Daoist Lord Yu Chen unveiled a Fishing Drum.
The former was a seed of the top-notch Innate Treasure, one of the four Lotus Platforms, the Innate Merit Golden Lotus, capable of growing a third-grade Merit Golden Lotus.
The latter was an authentic Innate Spiritual Treasure.
"Hehe, Daoist, this is quite embarrassing."
As Jing Yao, the Upper Venerable, said he was embarrassed, he had already pocketed the Golden Lotus Seed, planning to go back and refine a good Elixir.
Like the Merit Golden Pill, for example.
Jieyin nodded slightly to him: "Daoist, rest assured, I've accepted so many of your elixirs."
Seeing this, Daoist Lord Yu Chen also took the Fishing Drum.
He thought about how, after the stone gambling conference ended, he could custom-make a set of Arrays for the Stone Gambling Immortal at half price.
Mutual benefits, everyone's happy.
~~~
After Xuanqing and his party finished walking around the First Jade Tower, the Ginseng Fruit Tree had already secured hundreds of orders with Zhenwu.
"I'm good brothers with the Array Immortal, and you're also good brothers with the Array Immortal."
"Round it up and we're all good brothers too!"
Zhenwu was exceedingly warm to Xuanqing and Jing Yao: "Come, come, come, giving two brothers a Immortal Binding Rope."
"Don't be too quick to refuse. What I'm giving you is the proper version, one's called Golden Cloth Rope, the other Binding God Rope."
"Take it, don't be polite, we're all brothers!"
Daoist Lord Yu Chen looked at the not-so-serious Zhenwu and felt a bit out of place.
This wasn't how it was in Biyou Heaven, was it?
Unable to decline Zhenwu's enthusiastic offer, Xuanqing and Jing Yao had no choice but to accept.
They both also gave a Spirit Treasure and a gourd full of Elixirs to Zhenwu.
"This is called the Dragon and Snake Life-Protecting Pill, and the side effects are like this..."
Jing Yao Venerable, rarely being so serious, detailed the side effects of the elixir.
The Spirit Treasure given by Xuanqing was proper, so he didn't specifically explain.
"Let's go, let's continue our visit!"
With two more guests, the Ginseng Fruit Tree was too happy to be bothered.
He then took them to the Second Heaven City, the Third Heaven City...
---
Basically, they had toured through the entire White Jade City.
Xuanqing also met with Qiankun Immortal, Inverted Immortal, and the Immortal Who Doesn't Die.
When he found out that the Immortal Who Doesn't Die was The Queen Mother of the West, and that she was pretending to be a Flat Peach Tree, Xuanqing really didn't know what to say.
"This Primordial Era, it's getting more and more unserious."
He even bought a few Spiritual Treasures from the Qiankun Immortal.
"The Qiankun Cauldron is in his possession, so does that mean he's the Qiankun Demon God?"
Xuanqing would remember the scenes he witnessed during his enlightenment.
The Qiankun Cauldron, an Innate Treasure, possessed the effect of refining acquired essence back to its innate state.
With this item, one could essentially become an Innate Spiritual Treasure wholesaler.
Of course, one surely shouldn't recklessly refine Innate Spiritual Treasures, there must be some price to pay.
"How's everyone enjoying themselves? Are you all having a good time?"
After Xuanqing and the others finished touring White Jade City, Hong Jun and Yang Mei appeared at the right time.
Especially Hong Jun, who kept watching Xuanqing as if afraid he would slip away.
"Not bad!"
"The only pity is that the Innate Spiritual Treasures crafted by Qiankun Immortal are too proper."
Xuanqing had a face full of sighs, as if lamenting that the Qiankun Cauldron had gathered dust and truly followed the wrong master.
Hearing this, Yang Mei actually nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's a pity."
Hong Jun walked up to Xuanqing and stretched out his hand.
"Daoist, have you finished maintaining my Spiritual Treasure?"
"Actually, it's not quite complete..."
"Hm?"
"But it'll do."
Xuanqing took out the Pangu Banner from his sleeve and handed it to Hong Jun.
Hong Jun examined it carefully.
"No switched, it's the real deal!"
Xuanqing was rather displeased, feeling that Hong Jun was not trusting him.
After Hong Jun finished confirming, he finally showed a smile: "Does Daoist have any suggestions for us in White Jade City?"
Obviously, he was still pondering the previous words of Xuanqing.
Because Hong Jun had extrapolated some things!
The corners of the Xuanqing's mouth lifted slightly.
You've been fishing for me straight on, now it's my turn to fish for you.
"I do have a suggestion."
"But, well, I have a request."
Hong Jun pondered for a moment before asking, "What request?"
"If it's not too difficult, I might be able to fulfill it for Daoist."
"This includes what you mentioned before, hundreds of Innate Spiritual Treasures!"
What?!?!!
Yang Mei, Qiankun, Yin Yang, and Inverted - the four great Immortals were all shocked.
Do you regard Innate Spiritual Treasures as wild grass?!
Giving away hundreds in one breath?
Even Qiankun Immortal was a bit scared.
"This old Daoist, he wouldn't be planning to make a move on me, would he?"
Can the Qiankun Cauldron produce hundreds of Innate Spiritual Treasures?
Yes!
But it would be lethal!
Extremely lethal!
Refining hundreds of Innate Spiritual Treasures, Qiankun Immortal felt he should go and select a Feng Shui treasure land from the Grilled Immortal, Nanhua, in advance.
Xuanqing said with a smile: "The request is very simple, I don't need your hundreds of Spiritual Treasures."
"I just want to borrow one Spiritual Treasure from you, White Jade City."
Hong Jun frowned: "Which one?"
"The Tai Chi Diagram!"
"No way!"
Yin Yang Daoist immediately appeared and firmly refused.
"Don't be stingy, I'm borrowing!"
Xuanqing insisted confidently: "What's borrowed will be returned, and I guarantee it will!"
"Didn't I just return the Pangu Banner?"
