131. Everyone Had Broken Through~

The Snow Maiden and the Holy Son both had expressionless faces at first, but the more they lost, the uglier their expressions became.

Perhaps they themselves did not realize it, but that is indeed the case.

On the contrary, Dan Chengzi, although he also lost quite a few, was all smiles and very happy.

It's just losing a few Spirit Stone, what's the big deal?

We've made a breakthrough!

If one could comprehend the Great Dao again, or even have a sudden enlightenment like His Highness, what are mere Spirit Stone worth?!

Therefore, he was actually in the best mood of the three.

The sixteenth one...

After losing over 800,000 Spirit Stone, the Snow Maiden finally Plain Hand a draw, and everyone else had already Ready Hand, except for the Holy Son won 10,000 Spirit Stone.

Compared to the previous losses, this is nothing.

However, the moment Snow Maiden revealed her hand and shouted "I won!", she was incredibly excited, with a radiant smile on her face!

"I won! Give me Spirit Stone!"

Even she herself hadn't realized that, despite her ice-attribute cultivation technique causing her to always have a stern face like Extinction Master, she could actually smile.

Happy!

At this moment, the Snow Maiden felt happier than ever before.

For many years, she had been cultivating herself, secretly competing with Qi Zixiao, but she had not made any progress, which caused her heart to grow colder and colder.

Today, Qi Zixiao won more than a dozen rounds in a row. Although she didn't lose every round, this kind of suppression was like adding fuel to the fire and making things even worse for Snow Maiden.

Now that you've suddenly won big, how can you not be happy?

It wasn't Qi Zixiao who set the firecracker; otherwise, she would have jumped for joy.

I'm in a great mood!

The Snow Maiden was in a better mood, but... the Holy Son was even more upset.

Damn it!

Losing to Qi Zixiao was bad enough, but now he's even inferior to Snow Maiden?!

His face darkened. "So what if you won? It's just a Plain Hand, what's the big deal? Sit down! Let's play again!"

"You haven't given me the Spirit Stone yet!"

The Snow Maiden was in high spirits, and besides, as the Eldest Senior Sister, she didn't necessarily have to be afraid of the Holy Son, so she directly reached out for Spirit Stone.

The Holy Son was speechless, but he still paid the Spirit Stone first, and the game continued.

This attack...

The group became completely captivated.

From the moment Snow Maiden won her first hand, coupled with Qi Zixiao deliberately letting them win to prevent them from running away.

Next, everyone started to have both wins and losses. Although... they still lost very quickly overall, it seemed like they had won quite a few times.

Especially when Snow Maiden Nu got Qi Zixiao's hand, she jumped up with joy, completely losing her composure as the Eldest Senior Sister and her icy demeanor like the ' Extinction Master '.

Even the usually stern-faced Holy Son couldn't help but laugh out loud after winning with Dan Chengzi's hand for the first time...

Qi Zixiao, on the other hand, doesn't talk about grand principles... or reason!

Where do all those grand principles come from?

Hey, there are so many inspirational quotes and toxic quotes on Earth. Qi Zixiao has seen at least eight hundred or a thousand of them in the past few days. Why not just pick some that look high-class and modify them a bit?

Completely engrossed.

This fight lasted for more than two days.

Eat? No need!

Is it getting dark?

Their eyesight was already exceptional, and Qi Zixiao even turned on the lights at night to prevent them from leaving. The brightness of the Merit Golden Ring behind their heads was adjustable, so the darkness was nothing to worry about.

even...

If it weren't for the fact that he was about to time travel again, Qi Zixiao wouldn't have wanted to end this card game!

"Let's stop here for today; too much of a good thing can be bad!"

Qi Zixiao was still not satisfied, but she still took the initiative to say that it was time to end the meeting...

"That's it!?"

The Snow Maiden was taken aback; she was in the middle of her excitement! She'd won so many rounds already, even though they were all Plain Hand...

The Holy Son was also somewhat taken aback.

Dan Chengzi blinked...

Do you have any Spirit Stone left?

Qi Zixiao looked at the Snow Maiden.

What an innocent little girl!

She found it amusing; did he really think he had won just because he had spun so many times?

Didn't you notice that you mostly won with Plain Hand, but when you lost, you almost always lost big?

At the same time, he was also filled with emotion. "If I hadn't had those amazing experiences on Earth, I probably would have been on par with the Snow Maiden in this situation."

With her improved state of mind and her experiences on Earth, Qi Zixiao gained a lot of insights.

Holy land is wonderful!

but...

It's too peaceful.

Especially for top disciples like her and Snow Maiden, they can obtain sufficient cultivation resources without having to go through battles and conspiracies.

There are no tasks to perform, and you don't even need to socialize much...

This also means that these disciples are quite 'novice' in some aspects.

For example, in terms of interpersonal relationships.

Qi Zixiao didn't even need to think to be certain that the Ten Disciples, including himself in the past, were not even as good as an ordinary normal person on Earth in terms of their conduct and interpersonal skills.

Don't the high-ranking officials of the Holy Land know this?

Of course I know.

But even if they knew, they wouldn't care, because in the Cultivation World, strength is everything! What about interpersonal relationships?

If you are invincible, countless people will naturally be willing to accommodate you!

Qi Zixiao had previously thought there was no problem.

But now... she's more rational.

It's true that everyone will accommodate you if you're invincible, but the question is, where do so many invincible people come from?

In fact, even these top disciples don't have much combat experience!

In terms of interpersonal skills and combat experience, they are not as good as those disciples from small sects.

Perhaps understanding these things will waste cultivation time, but are these things really unnecessary?

For example, human emotions such as the seven emotions and six desires, love, hate, and grudges may seem troublesome, but in reality, they are extremely good for cultivating the mind.

How to choose?

Qi Zixiao is not clear about this yet, but... she is gradually forming her own ideas.

Faced with Qi Zixiao's question, Snow Maiden was taken aback at first, then opened her Storage Bag...

"My Spirit Stone!!!"

The Snow Maiden's exclamation, even her wail, instantly echoed throughout the entire Bright Moon Peak.

She was utterly shocked!

Where are my Spirit Stone?!

My Storage Bag is piled high with Spirit Stone —the ones I finally earned, and even borrowed a lot of, to compete for Supreme Void Refining Pill!

In an instant, the Snow Maiden was stunned.

She looked at Qi Zixiao with a deep sense of resentment.

What kind of look is that?

Qi Zixiao calmly replied, "Life is like a game of chess. You have to accept the consequences of your bets. If you're not satisfied, you can come back next time once you've gathered enough capital."

"If you are capable, even if you win all my Spirit Stone, this Saintess will have no complaints whatsoever."

Upon hearing this...

What else could the Snow Maiden say?

With nowhere to vent his resentment, he could only get up dejectedly and say, "In that case, I'll find the Spirit Stone and come back!"

The Snow Maiden was not having it!

The fact that I can win frequently proves that I am making rapid progress.

Now that we've made progress, how can we keep losing?

Impossible!

I am Snow Maiden!

As she left Bright Moon Peak, Snow Maiden was filled with boundless passion.

I'm the Eldest Senior Sister!

One day, I will win all of Qi Zixiao's Spirit Stone, become the Saintess, surpass the Holy Son, and reach the pinnacle of life!

Boom!

At this moment, the Snow Maiden's momentum surged and her confidence soared.

Then...

She suddenly realized that she had actually broken through a small realm!

Spirit Severance Initial Stage> Mid-stage of Soul Distraction!

"Hiss!!!"

"Could this be what Qi Zixiao meant by 'putting oneself in a desperate situation to survive'? I have less than 100,000 Spirit Stone left, yet I was able to break through at this moment!"

"This game called Mahjong is truly..."

"Contains the Great Dao!!!"

"Is the reason for having prizes so that people can have different insights after winning or losing?"

"Qi Zixiao...!"

"I will not lose to you."

The Holy Son stood up, his body shimmering with dazzling special effects once more, and looked at Qi Zixiao with a cold expression. "Whether it's cultivation or a game of chess!"

"We'll fight again another time!"

Boom!

He soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon in an instant, his speed leaving Dan Chengzi speechless.

Qi Zixiao secretly curled her lip upon seeing this.

"Used the Word Secret' technique? Trying to intimidate me? What a show-off..."

"Your Highness, Dan Chengzi has also taken his leave."

Dan Chengzi lost quite a bit, but he didn't really care. He was overjoyed to have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Go."

Qi Zixiao nodded slightly.

Dan Chengzi left immediately, but a question arose in his mind.

"Why is Your Highness not as enthusiastic as before?"

"Hmm... It must be because she needs to maintain a Saintess demeanor in front of others, that must be it."

"This mahjong is really interesting. Maybe I should promote it when I get back to the Alchemy Room?"

"Hiss~!"

At that moment, Dan Chengzi suddenly understood.

"Although my chess skills are not as good as Your Highness's, I am still a veteran of many battles, right? How could those senior brothers, sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters possibly be my match?!"

"Moreover, all the fellow disciples in the Alchemy Room are wealthy individuals, if..."

"That's much faster than earning Spirit Stone by refining pills!"

Dan Chengzi understood and returned to the Alchemy Room to begin experimenting.

Moreover, he even wrote down all the 'Great Dao' that Qi Zixiao had mentioned, memorizing them thoroughly to avoid revealing his ignorance later. After all, he didn't understand those Great Dao...

I can only pretend to be profound!

Snow Maiden Peak, back at her lodgings, Snow Maiden felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.

"Breaking through a minor realm and closing the gap with Qi Zixiao, I should be happy, but my Spirit Stone..."

Thinking of her Spirit Stone, she still felt heartbroken.

Nearly ten million Spirit Stone!!!

Originally intended to be used to exchange for Supreme Void Refining Pill, it now seems to have turned into exchanging tens of millions of Spirit Stone for a minor realm advancement.

'Buy experience points with Top-up '?!

The Snow Maiden naturally wouldn't understand this saying, but the principle is the same.

Loss or profit?

She couldn't explain it either, but the Spirit Stone were truly gone!

If all the Spirit Stone were her own, the Snow Maiden wouldn't be too upset. But the problem is, many of the Spirit Stone were borrowed!

What should we do?

I need to think of a way to earn Spirit Stone!

Her mind raced.

Then...

Then I thought of a card game.

"In the past two days, Qi Zixiao has won more than 20 million Spirit Stone from me, the Holy Son, and Dan Chengzi, hasn't he?!"

"If it were me..."

"Feasible!"

"If that's really the case, not only can I find a way to earn back everything I've lost, but I can earn even more?!"

Suddenly...

The Snow Maiden has finally figured it out!
