I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 93: Gambling! (Subscribe)
"Brother, the specific reason is..."

At this moment, Li Qingzhou's voice echoed in this simply decorated room.

The heads and elders of each peak of Taixu Taoist Sect, as well as the supreme elder, gathered together and looked at him.

Among them are Xiao Huang, the leader of Taixu Taoist Sect, Sun Daofu, the head of Danfeng Mountain, Pang Kuan, the head of Linxun Peak, and Fang Hua, the head of Qimen Peak.

As well as the Monster Catching Hall Elder Cao Abao, the Book Mountain Elder Xiang Shaoyang, the Martial Arts Hall Elder Cha Yuansheng and the Law Enforcement Hall Elder Zhuansunyou.

There were also two old men with haggard faces, sitting silently behind Xiao Huang.

"The reason why the adults at the Taizhou Mountain battlefield made such arrangements is because the demons proposed to have a gambling fight with our human race."

At the end, Li Qingzhou looked much more serious and his tone was a bit heavy, as if these words were weighing on him like a mountain.

Gu Tiangang couldn't help but ask, "Junior brother, what kind of gambling fight was that?"

Li Qingzhou knew that others were also confused, so he continued to explain:
"The bet was between ten people from our human race and ten from the demon race. The side with the most victories wins."

"It doesn't matter if it's like this. The three previous gambling fights, the adults knew what was going on."

"But this time, the demons proposed to limit the age of these ten people to under 30 years old."

Li Qingzhou paused, glanced around and said, "That is, the newcomers who have just entered the Taizhou Mountain battlefield will gamble and fight."

After hearing this, even those present who had high levels of cultivation and extraordinary experiences all had their expressions slightly changed.

"What's the point of a newcomer competition?" Sun Daofu pondered, "Those are ten juniors with top talents."

Pang Kuan pulled at his hard stubble and frowned, saying, "Old Sun is right. If those ten people make a mistake in the duel, it will affect the conquest for the next hundred years."

"This matter should have both advantages and disadvantages, and the risks are the same for the demons as well." Cao Abao pondered.

Hearing this, Xiao Huang raised his hand to signal for silence, looked at Li Qingzhou and asked, "Junior brother, is there any other hidden story?"

"If there hadn't been some kind of incident on the battlefield, I don't think those adults would have agreed to such a bet."

Li Qingzhou nodded, then shook his head.

"There is indeed a secret hidden in it, but only those adults know the details. I'm sorry I can't answer you."

Everyone looked at each other and stopped talking.

They all knew the rules of the Taizhou Mountain battlefield. They could say what they could say, and they could not say a single word that they could not say.

What's more, most of the people here cannot enter that battlefield, and knowing too much will only add to your troubles.

"what about others?"

"The second resolution was also related to the gambling fight, but it was made eight years later."

"Once Tianyuan Continent has selected ten people to participate in the gambling fight, the adults will open the secret realm."

Li Qingzhou smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "How much they can improve depends on their luck."

Xiao Huang's expression slightly changed, and he also laughed: "If that's the case, then my disciples of Taixu Dao Sect should work harder."

"That's right..."

Gu Tiangang watched them playing charades and felt as uncomfortable as if he was being scratched by a cat.

"Can you two be more straightforward? I know you are qualified to enter Mount Taizhou, but there is no need to show off now, right?"

Xiao Huang and Li Qingzhou smiled at each other, and it was Xiao Huang, the clan leader, who explained:

"That secret place has the ability to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, which is beneficial to their cultivation and improvement of skills."

"If you are lucky enough, it is not impossible to directly obtain a magical power."

Supernatural powers...

The faces of the masters and elders present were indeed filled with joy.

"As Senior Brother Xiao said, our Taixu Dao Sect naturally cannot fall behind in this competition."

Pang Kuan laughed, his dark face and two rows of shiny white teeth formed a sharp contrast, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed a hint of smile.

“Strength and luck are both indispensable. Just do your best and leave the rest to fate.” Shushan Elder Xiang Shaoyang sighed.

"That's right, we will do our best to teach you." Sun Daofu thought for a moment with a smile on his face.

His disciples from Danfeng Mountain were not good at martial arts fighting, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t fight.

Otherwise, there would be no alchemy cultivators and formation cultivators on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, and everyone would be cultivating sword cultivators and physical cultivators.

Xiao Huang also smiled and said, "It just so happens that Junior Brother Li has returned to the mountain. You must teach those disciples of Jianfeng Mountain well."

"Brother, are you referring to Chen Yi?"

Li Qingzhou knew that his disciples were relatively old, and no matter Zhan Hongxiu, Lu Cheng or Ning Xue, they would not be able to participate in the gambling fight.

It was only before he left that he asked Gu Tiangang for help, a person who possessed an extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, which was worthy of Xiao Huang's special reminder.

"That's right." Xiao Huang nodded, "Junior brother, you don't know that when Junior Brother Chen went down the mountain to travel ten years ago, he killed Wen Renhong of the God Worshiping Sect with one sword."

"From then on, the name 'Little Sword Immortal' became known to everyone in the martial arts world."

Gu Tiangang echoed, "Junior brother, you probably don't know about his cultivation and progress in swordsmanship, right?"

"I'd like to hear the details." Li Qingzhou silently chanted 'Little Sword Fairy', with a slight smile in his heart.

Even on the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain, the title of "Sword Immortal" is rare.

Even for him, it is difficult to bear such a title.

That not only represents strength, but also represents endless troubles, and will attract the demons' spying, calculations, and siege.

"Chen Yi's cultivation has now reached the fifth level of Baodan. His swordsmanship has been perfected and his sword intent is complete."

"Are you serious, brother?"

"Junior brother, Chen Yi's cultivation has improved a lot in the past ten years, which is quite fast. But his swordsmanship is the same as it was ten years ago."

Seeing his impatient look, Gu Tiangang felt much better and said with a smile, "We have not yet tested his swordsmanship."

"I think I am not far from reaching the state of swordsmanship where the heart of the sword is clear and bright."

After Li Qingzhou calculated silently, a slight smile appeared on his face and he was completely moved.

The sixteen-year-old's swordsmanship was clear, and compared to him, his progress was incredible.

If we can go one step further and achieve...

Wouldn't that ensure that the bet won't be lost?
"My fellow uncles and brothers, this is all Qingzhou wants to say."

"Regarding the subsequent selection of the Wei Dynasty, Senior Brother Xiao will have to take care of it. Please discuss the detailed rules with the Taoist, Buddhist, and academic sects as soon as possible."

Li Qingzhou finished speaking quickly, stood up and said, "I just returned to the sect and have some things to deal with."

"When I'm done, I'll invite you all to Jianfeng Mountain for a gathering."

"Slow down." Seeing that he was about to leave, Xiao Huang guessed what he was thinking and raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. Junior Brother Chen Yi is on Jianfeng Mountain. It won't be too late for you to go back after the discussion is over."

Having said that, Xiao Huang did not wait for Li Qingzhou to refuse and continued:

"The rules for selecting the younger generation in the Wei Dynasty have not yet been determined, but the selection of our Taixu Dao Sect can proceed first."

"It just so happens that the sect's ten-year small test will be held soon. I would like to take this opportunity to determine the best of the younger generation of my Taixu Dao Sect."

"Detailed rules..."

……

At night, a cool breeze blows.

I don't know when the snowflakes started to fall from the sky, gradually covering Jianfeng Mountain, leaving behind a thin layer of white gauze.

However, the slight cold did not affect the mood of Chen Yi and others. They still sat around the campfire, eating the barbecue on the grill, talking and laughing.

Several wine lovers clinked their glasses from time to time.

That is, Zhan Hongxiu, Wang Yongnian, Du Yanqing, and the two "chivalrous men" Hua Youxiang and Li Mingyue.

There is no need to say much about Zhan Hongxiu, the senior sister of Jianfeng Mountain. She has loved drinking since the first time Chen Yi saw her.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is addicted to alcohol. After Wang Yongnian grew from a fat boy to a big fat boy, he also learned to drink.

However, in his words, he did not take the initiative to drink, but was influenced by many of his fellow disciples on the Linxun Peak.

The only two hobbies of those physical cultivators are to hone their bodies and drink.

They even claim that drinking alcohol will help the medicinal bath absorb and make their bodies stronger.

Over time, Wang Yongnian learned it.

As for Du Yanqing, the prince of Zhenbei, he also had legitimate reasons for drinking.

It's funny.

Ever since Chen Yi's trip to Jiangnan Prefecture, Wei Letian and others naturally would not forget him when they were making friends with other talented fellow disciples.

However, he did not want to have close contact with Wei Letian, and after several refusals, the twelfth prince gave up the idea.

This made Du Yanqing suffer.

Because they were both on Taixu Peak, Wei Letian often invited him to be his guest.

Due to his noble status and friendship as a fellow student, Du Yanqing could not refuse.

It was then that he learned to drink and recite poetry.

As for Hua Youxiang and Li Mingyue, they were both taught how to drink by Zhan Hongxiu.

However, after the incident with the compensation at Danfeng Mountain, they seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.

When they run to other mountains to play, they will also be careful not to destroy any flowers or grass, so as not to cause trouble to Jianfeng Mountain.

But most of the time, they stayed on Jianfeng Mountain, receiving instruction from several senior brothers and sisters.

There has been a significant improvement in both the progress and cultivation of swordsmanship.

Hua Youxiang was particularly impressed. In the past ten years, she not only raised her cultivation from the ninth level of the mundane realm to the lower part of the sixth level of the return to origin realm, but also achieved minor success in swordsmanship.

Although she is still far behind Chen Yilai, she seems quite satisfied with herself and even said something like "My hard work is worth it."

However, Chen Yi had seen her look lonely several times, and he knew in his heart that she was probably only optimistic on the surface.

Not to mention that compared with him, Junior Sister Erhua's progress is also much slower than her two sisters, Hua Xianzi and Hua Yourong.

In the past ten years, Flower Fairy has already reached the fourth level of spiritual enlightenment, and her progress is almost the same as Lin Xueru's.

Hua Yourong's personality became a little softer, but with the guidance of the Flower Fairy and the help of elixirs, her cultivation also reached the fifth level of Baodan realm.

Therefore, Chen Yi could understand Hua Youxiang's thoughts very well.

However, he had no way to solve the problem of "limited talent", and could only see if he could have the opportunity to help his fellow disciples in Jianfeng Mountain in the future.

At this time, Du Yanqing raised his wine glass high, his face flushed as he said, "Everyone is in high spirits today, how about letting me recite a poem?"

"It's better not to do that," Du Yan glanced at him, "I'm afraid that your poem will spoil everyone's interest."

At this time, Du Yanqing and his sister both looked a bit like the King of Zhenbei.

Du Yanqing was seen wearing a silver-white cloak. He was slightly taller than Chen Yi, with a square face, and his eyebrows, eyes and nose were very vivid, showing his majesty.

The little princess was well-groomed. Although her appearance could not compare to Lin Xueru and Xiao Xuanzhen, she could still be considered pretty.

Especially since she was an expert in formations, her aura was hidden and not revealed, which made her seem somewhat mysterious in the eyes of outsiders.

"Eh?" Du Yanqing blinked. "Your brother is very talented in writing. Senior Brother Letian even praised me."

"You? So talented in writing?"

The young princess Du Yan covered her forehead with her hands, looking in pain.

After a while, she was too lazy to continue listening to Du Yanqing's nonsense, so she simply made a hand gesture and set up a formation to trap him.

After doing all this, Du Yan clapped her hands and hummed, "Okay, it's much quieter now."

Seeing this, Chen Yi and others laughed.

Only Du Yanqing didn't notice it. He stood up as if he was praised and seemed to be reciting a poem.

However, in Du Yan's formation, he couldn't even make a sound, which made everyone laugh even louder.

Even Ning Xue, the usually quiet and elegant senior sister, couldn't help but smile.

If we were to ask who knows the friendship between Chen Yi and the others best, in the entire Taixu Taoist Sect, besides her, the only person is Gu Tiangang who was once exiled to Kyoto Prefecture.

Perhaps because of that teaching experience, every time Ning Xue saw these people gathered together, she would feel warm in her heart.

It feels like seeing your own child grow up healthily. Besides being happy, there is also a sense of accomplishment.

Compared with her, Zhan Hongxiu doesn't have much self-awareness.

Over the past ten years, she would go down the mountain every once in a while to carry out missions for the Monster Catching Hall.

Occasionally, when she encountered a difficult task, she would think of Chen Yi.

It’s just that because of the mission in Jiangnan Prefecture, Chen Yi, who ranked first on the “Heavenly Pride List·Earthly Pride List”, will be in trouble once he leaves Taixu Taoist Sect.

Therefore, after considering it several times, Zhan Hongxiu chose to give up this plan.

The advantage of not having Chen Yi's assistance was that her sword intent had reached perfection five years ago.

Before that, her cultivation had been successfully upgraded to the third-grade Tianhe realm.

What puzzled her was that she did not receive any call-up to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield after that.

Even though she asked the sect leader Xiao Huang, she still didn't get any response.

To the point that Zhan Hongxiu would occasionally have wild thoughts.

Could it be that something went wrong on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield?
It was not until nearly midnight that everyone got up and dispersed.

"Brother Yi, next time there is a gathering like this, please don't call me sister."

Du Yanqing, who had lifted the restrictions of the formation, looked resentful and whispered to Chen Yi quietly.

Unfortunately, Du Yan, who had been paying attention to him, saw through his thoughts, came up, twisted his ear, and walked down the mountain.

"Brother, Yan'er has something to tell you."

"It hurts..."

Seeing the Zhenbei King brother and sister walking away lovingly, Lin Xueru and Chen Yi looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing, Lin Xueru blinked her big eyes, and her eyes seemed to be telling something.

"Brother Yi, Senior Sister Xiao and I are back too."

Chen Yi looked at her, smiled and nodded: "It's dark and the road is slippery, be careful on the road."

"You're the one who should say that?" Xiao Yan snorted gloomily, "If anything happens to me, I won't let Junior Sister Xueru get hurt."

It was not known whether she was upset because she lost the fight during the day or because Chen Yi had only given instructions to Lin Xueru.

In short, she was in a particularly bad mood at the moment.

Chen Yi glanced at her and said, "That's better."

"You bad guy, I..."

"Senior Sister, let's go back and talk about it when we get back."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Lin Xueru quickly grabbed Xiao Xuanzhen's hand and ran down the mountain.

Only when they were farther away did she turn around and look at Chen Yi, who was still staring at her, and waved from afar.

Then, she turned around and continued to go down the mountain with Xiao Xuanzhen.

"Junior sister, you are too nice to that bad guy. Be careful that you will be bullied by him in the future."

"Senior sister, that's not the case. Brother Yi is the best."

Seeing them walking away, Chen Yi couldn't help but chuckle.

After so many years, I am glad that the little girl's mind remains the same, which is very good...
