The Heaven's Chosen Assembly is actually just a gathering.

The conference venue is located in Chaos City, at the absolute center of the geographical location of the Five Great Powers.

The content of each conference is different.

Sometimes we'll practice together, sometimes we'll do tasks together, and sometimes we'll just have meetings, chat, or go on trips together.

In any case, if your skills aren't up to par, you'll definitely lose face.

The Dao Alliance's prodigies are selected and gathered once every five hundred years. However, the seventh prodigy has not been selected in the last five hundred years, which is why it has been delayed until nearly six hundred years.

Just then, the world-shaking Flamefree City incident occurred in Dongfu District. Xiao Ran performed exceptionally well, and with his Master being Lingzhou Yue, he barely managed to secure this position.

Huangfu Qun paced back and forth, finally stopping in front of Xiao Ran, his gloomy eyes never showing any sign of sunshine.

"There's less than a month until the Heaven's Chosen Assembly. I've heard that several candidates who were close to being selected because of you are very dissatisfied. Perhaps before the Heaven's Chosen Assembly, some of them will come to visit you, looking for an excuse to spar with you. If they are just Golden Core cultivators, you can give it a try, but if Nascent Soul cultivator comes, you must not impulsively accept the challenge."

Xiao Ran wouldn't be foolish enough to accept the challenge casually.

"Good."

Huangfu Qun then walked to Chuyan's side.

"Now that you Sword Succession the sword, you must also cultivate diligently with your Master and Grandmaster. If your Master were to perish one day, you would be the one to take his place."

Xiao Ran:

"..."

Chuyan suddenly straightened up and raised her voice.

"Yes!"

The meeting has ended.

Amidst the adoring gazes of the inner disciples, Xiao Ran and his two disciples departed the Main Peak in grand style.

Traveling under the stars and moon, swords in hand, the three flew swiftly towards Sword-Wielding Mountain.

Xiao Ran rubbed Chuyan's head again, messing up her hairstyle while simultaneously using Resonance, itch-relieving scratching motion that made her scalp feel very comfortable, making it difficult for her to resist.

"Disciplinary Elder asks you a question, just answer yes. Why are you answering so loudly?"

Chuyan flashed her feet and shook off Xiao Ran.

"You are young and impulsive, easily broken. I am nearly a hundred years older than you, much more stable, and a backup plan for the sect."

Impulsiveness leads to breakage...

The way you say it just doesn't feel right.

Xiao Ran thought to himself, "If my Master weren't here, I would have given you a few words of advice."

Lingzhou Yue sat cross-legged on her sword, her face as beautiful as a painting illuminated by moonlight, but because she had no wine in her hand, her demeanor appeared somewhat decadent.

"Has the wine been taken out of the cellar yet?"

Xiao Ran said, "We can leave once we return to the mountain."

Lingzhou Yue suddenly perked up, her cheeks flushing red.

"That's good. Tonight I'm going to drink three hundred cups of wine, and you all have to drink with me."

Chuyan suddenly straightened up and raised her voice.

"Yes!"

Return to Sword-Wielding Mountain.

A new batch of warmed wine has been produced.

To ward off the badger, Xiao Ran dug three zhang (approximately 10 meters) into the ground and unearthed a large hidden wine barrel.

We ran out of yeast and Flame Fungus, so this time we used a larger quantity and brewed a full thousand catties of wine.

This time, Xiao Ran did not intend to give the wine to his Master for free as a way of showing filial piety.

With 500,000 Spirit Stone in hand, Master is now a rich woman, while he needs Spirit Stone to order a batch of high-grade seeds, yeast, and Flame Fungus from East Floating City.

After digging out the wine barrel, Xiao Ran immediately put it into his System Space.

"You can have wine, but you have to pay for it. One hundred Spirit Stone per pound."

Lingzhou Yue was taken aback.

"One hundred thousand Spirit Stone? You're trying to rob me?"

Xiao Ran said, "Half of your 500,000 Spirit Stone are thanks to me. What's wrong with taking 100,000?"

Lingzhou Yue was impatient.

"I am your Master, and I must keep your share of the credit. Quickly, bring me some wine!"

Xiao Ran had a sudden inspiration.

"How about this, we'll settle this with Fight the Wraith. If you want the wine, let's see if you have the skills."

Lingzhou Yue suddenly got excited when gambling was mentioned.

After all, what you win tastes much better than what others give you.

How to decide the winner?

Xiao Ran said, "Let's do it at a ratio of one hundred Spirit Stone per jin of wine. If you win the game, I'll give you the wine; if I win, you'll give me the Spirit Stone."

Lingzhou Yue raised an eyebrow.

"You want to challenge your master?"

Xiao Ran smiled.

"I'm sorry, I'm the master when it comes to gambling skills."

After saying this, Xiao Ran, without blushing or skipping a beat, immediately spent 5 Filial Piety Points to purchase the max-level Gambling Skill from the system Shop.

[Congratulations, host, you have mastered the maximum level of gambling skills! 5 Filial Piety Points consumed, remaining Filial Piety Points 404.]

Xiao Ran was startled when he saw the ominous balance number.

After careful calculation, the remaining 184, plus the 37 from the Netherworld Wraith Spring, plus the 188 from the 500,000 Spirit Stone reward, minus 5...

It really is a 404 error!

Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, then his mind went blank for a moment before he was suddenly enlightened.

In an instant, his Sea of Consciousness became as clear as the starry sky.

Soon, all sorts of ingenious gambling techniques came to mind.

In addition to being proficient in various gameplay styles, he also enhanced his logic and memory, and even included cheating techniques.

Although both are gambling games from the True Spirit Continent, and neither involves Three People Fight the Wraith, the logic, memory, and cheating techniques are largely the same.

Lingzhou Yue suppressed the urge to drink, her complexion cold and her beautiful face bearing the arrogance of a gambling freak.

"You want to be the master of my gambling monster Lingzhou Yue? You're a million years too early!"

Xiao Ran spread his hands.

"Then let's give it a try."

"Let's give it a try!"

Lingzhou Yue was full of momentum, but she felt inexplicably uneasy. She secretly sent a divine thought to Chuyan, "Let's team up and trick him today!"

Chuyan was startled and quickly replied with her hidden divine sense, "Isn't this cheating?"

Lingzhou Yue suddenly uttered a soft, melancholic remark.

"Do you want to be a senior sister?"

Chuyan suddenly straightened up and raised her spiritual power.

"That bastard touches my head every day, preventing me from growing taller. There's no point in talking about chivalry with him, let's all go for it!"

Xiao Ran looked up at the night sky and realized that it was already covered with dark clouds.

Chuyan also looked up, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"It's going to rain soon, where should we go to play?"

Xiao Ran said, "It's too tiring to put up rain covers on Sword Plaza. Why don't we go to the Hot Spring Cliff, put down a stone bench, and play there? It's shaded by Bamboo Forest and the water is warm. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Stone bench?

Chuyan:

"..."

"You wish!"

Lingzhou Yue kicked Xiao Ran in the buttocks, sending the kick flying towards the Disciple Quarters.

"Let's go play on the big bed!"

Xiao Ran remained silent.

Isn't it even more beautiful now?...

The rain was pouring down outside the window, making a continuous, loud crashing sound.

Above the eight-square-meter bed, a simple blue spiritual seal was engraved on the ceiling.

Like a crystal chandelier radiating bright light, illuminating the large bed as clearly as daytime.

"I can't afford to accept the three demands."

"One-on-one, on the front."

"The flying sword has wings."

"Shoot the flying sword!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Are you deaf? My combined Nether Blast is aimed at your flying sword!"

"..."

The next day at dawn.

After holding it in all night, Xiao Ran decisively ran to the toilet and relieved his flying sword.

Lingzhou Yue and Chuyan lay sprawled on the bed like two dead fish, arranged in two large "X" shapes.

Both of them suffered severe brain damage, their foreheads were burning hot, and fine sweat clung to their hair; they looked like they had been thoroughly played with.

Chuyan cried.

"It was clearly two against one..."

"Why is it that even you are no match for me?"

Lingzhou Yue hadn't had a drop of wine all night, and her body was nearing its limit. She said weakly, "..."

"I even cheated by switching cards and stuffing the Bamboo Tile into my chest. After all, this kid was honest enough not to peek around. How did I lose when he was being rammed by flying swords like that?"

Chuyan turned around and said, "He invented this game himself. Who knows what secrets he left behind?"

Xiao Ran was in the bathroom, resisting the urge to turn on the 60-inch color TV to check the video recordings. He obediently emptied his bladder and returned to the master bedroom.

Seeing him sprawled on the bed, Xiao Ran almost rolled himself a cigarette and took a puff afterwards.

To everyone's surprise, even with the two women working together and cheating, he still managed to defeat them.

With 100,000 Spirit Stone in hand, enough to buy high-grade seeds, so—

"I've thought about it. You guys are still far behind in gambling skills, but Master is still Master, and we can't neglect the proper respect. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

As he said this, Xiao Ran presented a large wine barrel weighing over a thousand catties.

Upon smelling the aroma of the wine, Lingzhou Yue, who had been holding back for so long, almost burst into tears of joy. She jolted awake and saw that Xiao Ran was about to cry as well.

A notification popped into Xiao Ran's mind.

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 28 Filial Piety Points!]

Giving wine also gives Filial Piety Points? Isn't it only given when you drink? Xiao Ran wasn't sure if this was because of his Master's unexpected joy, or because the amount of wine this time was too large, so he got extra Filial Piety Points. The next moment, Lingzhou Yue teleported and appeared in front of him.

His figure was slender and imposing, sharp as a sword, and with a stern face, he snatched the wine pot from Xiao Ran's hand.

He tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp!

It has a bit more flavor than the last time.

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 1 Filial Piety Points!]

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 1 Filial Piety Points!]

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 1 Filial Piety Points!]

[Congratulations...]

After drinking, Lingzhou Yue's eyes shone with the light of the lake, and her mind became much clearer. She stared directly at Xiao Ran and asked, "Did you leave a secret door for cheating in the Bamboo Tile?"

There is a hidden door, but it's not for cheating; it's for the sake of great art! "It's Graphics Card; I added Graphics Card to my computer."
