Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 194: The Glory of the World Inside and the War Outside

Lin Chen became more and more suspicious.

There seemed to be an invisible big hand behind him, controlling everything in secret.

Lin Chen helps the Righteous Alliance fight against the Demon Sect.

But at the same time, there is a force behind the Demon Sect that is constantly supporting it...

This seems to have become a confrontation between Lin Chen and that force.

Lin Chen walked into the yard and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

From his angle, he could just see the majestic and magnificent Wendao Mountain.

"The Daoist sect is devoted to the Dao, not caring about worldly matters, not asking about good and evil..."

Lin Chen withdrew his gaze and sat on the rocking chair in the yard.

The rocking chair rocked gently, and Lin Chen was constantly thinking.

"In any case, according to the current situation of the Demon Sect, it will not be possible to capture the Fog City in a short period of time."

"At least, it will take a year or so to occupy the entire northern border of the Mist Country and digest all the gains..."

"And when the Demon Sect completely occupies the northern border of the Mist Country, it will probably be time for the Demon Sect to formally attack the Mist City."

"By then, the Demon Sect's strength will probably return to its peak again."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen clenched his teeth.

With his current strength, he is unable to decide the direction of this war.

Especially after Lin Chen began to suspect that there was an even more terrifying existence behind the Blood-Eyed Demon, he did not dare to act rashly.

"Right now, the most important thing is to break through the Nascent Soul as soon as possible..."

"As for the situation at the Righteous Path Alliance, there is no rush for now... It will take me at most half a month to get back from Wendao City. It will be in time to go back in a year."

Lin Chen plans to practice in the Wendao Sect for a period of time.

The entire Wendao City is like a huge treasure, waiting for Lin Chen to trade and explore.

Before, Lin Chen had to be very cautious when trading hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in the Righteous Alliance, as he was always worried about being surrounded and attacked by the Demon Sect.

But in Wendao City, there is no such worry at all.

Lin Chen looked up at the sky. It was noon, so he decided to go for a stroll in the city market.

"The three cities of East, West and South mainly trade in elixirs, equipment, formation plates, talismans and the like... There will be plenty of time to go there later."

"Only the market in the north of the city is a little different. We can go and take a look."

Lin Chen swore that he didn't want to go to the place of romance.

Well, I’m just a little curious about the most prosperous North City in Wendao City.

Then Lin Chen turned into a beam of light and flew towards the North City. A moment later, he appeared in the cultivator market in the north of the city.

The streets in the market are several meters wide, spacious and clean.

On both sides are shops with more than three floors, including brothels, gambling houses, pawnbrokers, and entertainment venues...

Looking around, there were thousands of monks lingering in this market and reluctant to leave.

The market in the north of the city is the most prosperous and is also the most frequented entertainment place for the monks in the Dao City.

"Tsk tsk, the prosperity of this Wendao City is indeed far beyond the Changchun Mountain Market... This market street alone is several times larger than the Changchun Mountain Market."

Lin Chen walked on the street, looking around.

There were many Jindan cultivators along the way, and Lin Chen even encountered one or two auras that looked like those of Yuanying cultivators.

After walking around for half an hour, Lin Chen walked into a gambling house.

The gambling houses in Wendao City are for the enjoyment of monks and offer many kinds of entertainment.

In addition to the most basic gambling method, there is also the gambling on stones that Lin Chen had seen in Qingyu Town.

Even betting on fish!

What is fish gambling? It means starving hundreds of fish for many days, and then using special secret methods to activate the ferocious nature of these spiritual fish.

If these spirit fishes were allowed to fight for several more days, only one fish would survive.

The result of betting on fish is that the winner takes all.

The monk who hits the winning spiritual fish can eat all the spiritual food of other monks.

Betting on fish has almost a one percent chance of winning, so the odds are particularly high.

Many cultivators would spend several or even dozens of spirit stones. Once they guessed correctly, they would make hundreds of times the profit.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to bet on fish?"

Not long after Lin Chen arrived at the place where fish were gambled, a thin cultivator came over and asked in a low voice.

Lin Chen looked back at him, and saw him quickly say:

"My friend, trust me! Bet on number 36! I have inside information, this fish is guaranteed to win!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen looked at the monk in surprise, nodded in a low voice and said, "Well, I'll take a look first."

The thin monk glanced at Lin Chen and hurriedly disappeared into the crowd.

The voice of the gambling house manager came to my ears.

"Everyone, the first round of fish betting ends in a quarter of an hour. Come quickly if you want to place a bet!"

"I bet on number thirty-six, one hundred spirit stones!"

"I bet on number 18, fifty spirit stones!"

"I press..."

As the countdown for the fish betting began, the voices of the monks could be heard all around.

Lin Chen stood in the corner, looking at the hundreds of spirit fish that were put into the pond.

"Spirit fish number 36, it seems that the spiritual energy in its body is not the most abundant..."

Lin Chen shook his head. The cultivator was good at qi-reading and could observe the state of the fish.

But judging from his current condition, it is unlikely that No. 36 will survive to the end.

Therefore, the odds are as high as an astonishing one to three hundred.

As long as Spirit Fish No. 36 wins the championship, he can earn 300 Spirit Stones for one Spirit Stone.

On the other hand, the one in the best condition is spirit fish number 18, which is the largest in size and has the most spiritual energy, but the odds are only one to sixteen.

"Betting on fish, if Third Senior Brother were here... I'm afraid he would be very interested, right?"

Lin Chen smiled, and then he couldn't help but bet one thousand spirit stones on fish number 36.

After that, he did not stay any longer but continued to wander around the market.

In the afternoon, Lin Chen walked into a teahouse and ordered some spiritual fruits and a pot of Qingxin tea. Qingxin tea has the effect of stabilizing the mind. It tastes slightly bitter at first, but has an endless aftertaste, and is deeply loved by monks.

But its price is also quite high, just a pot of tea costs more than a hundred spirit stones.

Lin Chen sat in a private room on the fourth floor of the teahouse, leaning against the window, looking at the people passing by and the scenery outside, and basking in the sun.

I just feel that life is peaceful and harmonious.

"Alas, this is what it means to cultivate immortality! I have been in the world of cultivating immortality for fifteen years, but I have never felt so relaxed."

Lin Chen smacked his lips.

This Wenda City is really a good place. As long as you have spirit stones and strength, it is a paradise for cultivators.

Cultivation resources, status, treasures, even honors, beauties... everything is available.

When it got dark, Lin Chen left the teahouse and went to Tianxiang Tower, which was across the street.

Now that we are in North City, we must enjoy ourselves.

As soon as he entered the Tianxiang Tower, Lin Chen smelled a refreshing fragrance.

The incense burning in the building is neither strong nor weak, just right when it enters the nose, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The hall on the first floor of Tianxiang Tower is very spacious. Hundreds of monks sit around a table of three or five people, drinking, listening to music and enjoying delicious food.

"Sir, are you alone?" At this time, a beautiful woman in a colorful skirt came over.

Lin Chen glanced at her and saw that she was at the peak of Qi Refining.

The women in Tianxiang Tower all have their own cultivation levels, ranging from Qi refining to perfect foundation building.

Her appearance is rare in the world, and she is charming in every move.

"Is this a technique for practicing charm?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly for a moment, then relaxed again.

The charm skills can be used in brothels and can be considered as putting them to good use.

"Well, is there a menu? I'm a little hungry..." Lin Chen said lightly.

After seeing Lin Chen's reaction, a look of surprise flashed across the woman's pretty face.

Although her cultivation level was not high, she had perfected her charm skills, and even a foundation-building cultivator would lose their composure.

The person in front of him is at least a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage!

Thinking of this, the woman became respectful and bowed to Lin Chen and said:

"My name is Wan'er. Senior, would you like to go to the private room upstairs?"

"No need, I think this place is fine." Lin Chen shook his head.

Soon, Wan'er handed over a menu, and Lin Chen took it and started ordering.

"Dragon and Phoenix Spirit Soup, six hundred spirit stones per bowl."

"Golden Jade Immortal, one hundred and eighty spirit stones per portion."

"Purple Smoke Chicken, eighty spirit stones each."

"Hundred-year-old dragon tongue wine, five hundred spirit stones for a pot..."

Lin Chen blinked. The prices on the menu were indeed not cheap.

Even the cheapest cold dish costs more than thirty spirit stones, and a serving of expensive dishes can even cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Lin Chen pointed at the menu and asked:
"Why is the food at your Tianxianglou so expensive?"

The girl named Wan'er said:
"Senior, you don't know. Our meals are all prepared by top-notch food cultivators. They are very particular from the ingredients to the cooking. Not only are they delicious, but eating them is also very beneficial to your cultivation."

Food repair?

After hearing this, Lin Chen showed an interested look.

The so-called food cultivation also means cultivating the hundreds of arts of immortality.

She is good at cooking delicious food and can lock the original flavor and aura of the ingredients into the food.

Eating food prepared by cultivators is very helpful for cultivation, just like taking elixirs.

Compared to the tasteless elixir, the delicious food obviously arouses more interest of the monks.

Lin Chen nodded slightly and asked again: "Is this Purple Swallow Chicken a delicacy from the Yanlai Kingdom?"

Wan'er was surprised when she heard this and nodded:

"Senior, you are truly knowledgeable. This Purple Smoke Chicken is indeed produced in Yanlai Country."

Lin Chen nodded and pointed at the menu:
"I want a serving of Purple Swallow Chicken, a serving of Golden Jade Fairy... and a glass of Century-old Tenderloin."

Lin Chen simply ordered a few dishes and a glass of wine, then waited quietly in the hall.

During this period, many monks dressed in fancy clothes and smelling of alcohol came up and wanted to chat with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen declined all the offers and just sat in the corner of the hall, eating quietly.

Tianxiang Tower is worthy of being ranked among the top three romantic places in Wendao City.

The purple swallow chicken melts in your mouth, is fragrant and delicious, and tastes even better than what Lin Chen ate in Yanlai City.

The other dishes were also rare in the world, better than any food Lin Chen had eaten in the past thirty years.

After eating, drink a pot of wine, the lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth will make you unable to stop.

There is a special aroma floating in the air, which makes people feel happy.

There is a rare sound of piano in the ears, which makes people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze.

In front of you is a fairy who is good at singing and dancing and has scanty clothes, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

There are delicacies from land and sea that I have never tasted before in my mouth, which make my blood boil and my appetite grow.

Lin Chen sat quietly in the corner, watching everything around him.

After a long time, the monks left one after another.

Either leave Tianxiang Tower, or go upstairs to have a long and in-depth chat and communication with the fairies all night long.

At this time, Miss Wan'er also stepped forward and asked:

"Senior, can you rest in the building tonight?"

Lin Chen shook his head, paid the money, turned around and left Tianxiang Tower.

Before leaving, he glanced at the various cultivators in the building, and thought of the fight between the Righteous Alliance and the Demonic Sect.

For a moment, it was as if I was in a fantasy world.

After a while, Lin Chen sighed:
"Inside the window there is a life of luxury and decadence, outside the window there is war..."
