Third Senior Brother, Remember to Drink More Hot Water

"Little brother, have you made your choice?" Second Uncle rubbed his hands, his eyes gleaming as he asked.

Zhou Qing immediately handed over all the Spirit Stones he had, then pointed to the cloth bag on the left.

"Just pick one randomly, this one it is!"

When he saw the cloth bag Zhou Qing pointed to, Second Uncle was clearly taken aback.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Once you choose, there's no turning back. How about you think about it again?"

"No need to think!"

"Young man, don't jump to conclusions too early. I'm giving you another chance to choose because you're my first customer. Don't cry later if you lose everything."

"I'm a bit stubborn, this is the one!"

"To pick this one, how boring!"

It was clear that Second Uncle was a little disappointed, and he directly threw the cloth bag over.

At this moment, quite a few scattered people had gathered around. After all, they had come to see these things before, but these items cost anywhere from three to five hundred to several thousand. You weren't allowed to touch them, and divine sense couldn't penetrate them. It was all based on luck, and you didn't even know if they were real or fake. Who would dare to be the sucker?

Everyone gathered around curiously, waiting for Zhou Qing to open it.

Zhou Qing, who already knew the answer, peeled it open layer by layer under Yan Xiaohu's nervous gaze, revealing a gray box inside.

As the box slowly opened, a piece of wood that was black with green streaks came into everyone's view, followed by a pure Wood Attribute aura.

"Nether Dark Spirit Wood!" Yan Xiaohu immediately exclaimed in surprise.

He quickly reached out and took it. Seeing this, the others looked on with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"This Junior Brother, I'm willing to offer five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Five hundred? How dare you say that? This Junior Brother, I'll offer eight hundred. Are you willing to part with it?"

"I'll go straight to eleven hundred. I've been looking for this wood for many years. It's a great help to my Wood Attribute cultivation technique. Please help me out, Junior Brother."

Zhou Qing looked at Yan Xiaohu.

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu was beaming with smiles. He never expected that the Fourth Child would actually gamble correctly.

Facing Zhou Qing's questioning gaze, he naturally understood the meaning.

He didn't need this item, so he could sell it easily, and the price was reasonable.

A moment later, Zhou Qing made a net profit of seven hundred and fifty Spirit Stones, which made the two of them overjoyed.

Just by taking out two hundred Spirit Stones from that, they could have a good meal and drinks at the Jade Cuisine Hall.

"Fourth Child, I've always thought you were quite smart and lucky since you were little. I'll pay for the next one, help Senior Brother choose one!"

Yan Xiaohu rubbed his hands, his gaze sweeping over the cloth bags.

Zhou Qing didn't dare. His talent skill [Daily Appraisal] could only appraise once, and besides, he understood the principle of knowing when to stop. Otherwise, what was the difference between him and a gambler?

"No, Senior Brother, let's go tomorrow and wander around other places!" Zhou Qing said.

Hearing that Zhou Qing was leaving, Second Uncle quickly said, "Don't go, your Senior Brother is right. You're having good fortune today. Hurry and press on while you're ahead. I'm not afraid to tell you, there's something in here that's worth over ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

Hearing Second Uncle's tempting words, Yan Xiaohu and the surrounding crowd's eyes immediately lit up.

Ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, that's one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, a rare High-Grade Spirit Stone!

After several interactions, Zhou Qing naturally knew that Second Uncle was telling the truth, but finding it among so many blind boxes was easier said than done.

"No, I finally made some money, I want to hold onto it for a while longer!" Zhou Qing refused with a smile, pulling Yan Xiaohu away.

At this moment, the others were also itching to try, but still didn't dare to act rashly.

Seeing Zhou Qing leave without any hesitation, they looked at each other.

Something feels wrong?

I get it, this is a shill!

Almost fell for it!

Let's go, let's go!

Looking at Zhou Qing's decisive retreating figure, Second Uncle smiled bitterly, but even more so, there was a hint of admiration.

On the path of cultivation, how many people can uphold their original intentions without giving rise to greed? If he hadn't been greedy back then, he wouldn't have been trapped in the Grotto-Heaven for so many years.

"Oh no, Fourth Child, I suddenly have a stomach ache. I must have eaten something bad this morning. You go ahead and look around, I'll be back soon!"

While walking the chicken and curiously looking at the items on the stall in front of him, Yan Xiaohu suddenly clutched his stomach, quickly said a few words, and ran off.

Zhou Qing didn't pay much attention, but quickly froze.

They hadn't eaten breakfast this morning.

Less than an Incense Stick later, Yan Xiaohu returned dejected, his face extremely pale.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Qing quickly asked.

Yan Xiaohu stared blankly at Zhou Qing: "N-nothing, I just feel a bit weak from going to the bathroom."

"Alright, remember to drink more hot water when we get back. Third Senior Brother, let's go look over there."

"Not going!"

"Why?"

"Don't want to go, I want to go home and drink hot water."

In the square, the disciples of the two sects were fighting back and forth, it was quite lively, and Zhou Qing watched with great interest while holding the Old Hen.

It was a pity that Third Senior Brother wasn't here. His stomach ache seemed to be quite serious, and he couldn't wait to return to the Mountain Gate.

That evening, Zhou Qing returned and crushed another Spirit Stone for the Old Hen. It only pecked a couple of times before stopping. He then felt its round belly, and Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.

Afterward, he continued to cultivate using the Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

Early the next morning, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Third Senior Brother standing outside with dark circles under his eyes and a look of dejection.

His hair was covered in glistening dew.

This startled Zhou Qing, who quickly stepped forward: "Third Senior Brother, did you not sleep all night?"

Yan Xiaohu didn't say anything but quickly stepped forward and fumbled around on Zhou Qing's body.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Qing quickly pushed him away.

Yan Xiaohu forced a smile and said, "Just getting some good luck. It's getting late, let's hurry down the mountain. I specifically checked the Almanac today; it's good for travel and indicates wealth."

"Didn't you used to not believe in this stuff?" Zhou Qing asked, looking at Third Senior Brother's mystical behavior with confusion.

Yan Xiaohu gave an awkward smile: "That was before, people change after all. Let's go, let's go."

After arriving at Flame Dragon City, Zhou Qing didn't expect Third Senior Brother to pull him directly in front of Second Uncle.

"Oh, Tiger cub, you're here again. Still want to buy three thousand Spirit Stones? These few are about the same price, just pick one!"

When Second Uncle saw Yan Xiaohu, his face immediately broke into a wide smile, as if he had seen the God of Wealth.

Zhou Qing suddenly looked at Third Senior Brother, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Yan Xiaohu ignored Zhou Qing, then took out the remaining seven hundred-odd Spirit Stones he had and gave them to Zhou Qing.

"Fourth Child, you have better luck. Let's pool our money for fifteen hundred Spirit Stones. If we win, we'll split it four-six!"

Yan Xiaohu eagerly handed over the Spirit Stones.

Zhou Qing looked at him and finally came back to his senses.

"What did you buy yesterday?" Zhou Qing asked.

Yan Xiaohu's old face immediately turned red. Second Uncle, who was watching the fun, laughed heartily.

"This Tiger cub is quite bold. He spent three thousand Spirit Stones and directly opened a small item worth about ten Spirit Stones. His luck is still a bit lacking!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing looked again at Third Senior Brother, who was on the verge of tears.

This is a massive loss, your gambling spirit is quite something!
