Chapter 970 – The Fighting Ground
Xu Chuniang put away her token and walked in the direction of Jade Spring House.
Although it is night, hanging high in the sky a lot of stars, and the brilliant lights of the Yu Chun building, looks even more lively than the day a few points.
Just entered the Jade Spring Building, there will be a boy to welcome up, “This fairy, our Jade Spring Building is the biggest restaurant in the floating jade city, all kinds of delicious food all kinds of delicious food, fairy want to order what?”
“I’m looking for someone, heavenly character number two elegant room.”
Learning that Xu Chuniang was a valued guest in the Tian Zi No. 2 elegant room, the boy immediately looked at her with a different look, his attitude even more respectful and humble.
“So fairy already had an appointment long ago, Tian Zi No. 2 elegant room is on the top floor, fairy this way please.”
Under the guidance of the boy, Xu Chuniang smoothly entered the elegant room.
When she arrived, Gong Lao was listening to the music in the compartment behind the screen, and when he saw her coming, he waved his hand to drive away the other people in the room and so on, and walked to the case to sit down.
“Here you are, I’ve been waiting for you for a while, sit down.”
Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the furnishings in the room, only to realize that none of them were unrefined or beautiful.
The food and delicacies placed on the table were even more colorful and flavorful, and just looking at them was pleasing to the eyes.
As a famous restaurant in Floating Jade City, this Jade Spring Restaurant really lived up to its name.
She sat down opposite of Elder Gong, “You called me over, but is there something wrong?”
“Didn’t you summon me to ask me what the fighting arena was? I was thinking of explaining it to you when I return, but yeah.”
Gong Lao looked at her with a smile on his face, “It so happens that someone invited me to a banquet at Jade Spring House, and as it was almost time for the banquet to begin, that person had something to do and couldn’t come.
This table of food I eat alone is also boring, so I called you over, eat while talking.”
Hearing Elder Gong’s words, Xu Chuniang didn’t rush to move her chopsticks, “You know, I’m new to the Immortal Realm and I don’t have many Immortal Crystals on me.”
Gong Lao breathlessly rolled his eyes and lightly tsked.
“I don’t know how poor you are, since I’m the one who asked you to come over for dinner, there’s naturally no reason to make you pay out of your own pocket.
Besides, today’s order has already been bought by someone, otherwise I wouldn’t have spent this wasted money to come to Jade Spring House.”
The Jade Spring Building’s heavenly elegant room was really not cheap, although Gong Lao was not poor in immortal crystals, he also refused to spend his money on matters of pleasure.
He could have to work hard to save up Immortal Crystals and strive to break through the Earth Immortal Realm one day, he could not delay his cultivation because of hedonistic pleasures.
Xu Chuniang smiled, not caring about Gong Lao’s attitude, “Now can you tell me what the fighting arena is?”
“The fighting ground, as the name suggests, is naturally a place for fighting.”
Gong Lao hummed lightly and put a chopstick of vegetables into his bowl, “I’ll ask you first, you’ve been around this city for a day, have you gained anything?”
Xu Chuniang nodded lightly, showing a rare look of gravity.
“In recent years, the Immortal Realm has been very peaceful, and underneath that peaceful exterior lies a deeper crisis.
The ascenders who came first occupied most of the resources in the Immortal Realm, and those who came later want to gain a foothold, they have to put in ten times a hundred times the effort, the method of earning Immortal Crystals is firmly grasped by those who came first, while those who came later are being exploited and oppressed, and the Immortal Crystals that they earn are not enough to cover the expenses, not to mention cultivation, even the most basic survival has become a problem.”
Gong Lao gradually put away the smile on his face, he did not expect that after only one day, the other party would be able to see this matter so thoroughly. He let out a dark sigh as a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes.
“You are right, in the long run, even if there are no external enemies, there will be a day when there will be chaos within the Immortal Realm, and when it really comes to that, there will be more than just one ZongDongTian in chaos.”
Xu Chuniang was silent for a moment, “Even I, a person who just ascended not long ago, can see the problem, it’s impossible that those Immortal Kings can’t see it, and for so many years, they’ve just been letting it go?”
“In the Zongdang Heaven, Immortals will have a battle of interests, and the same thing will naturally happen in the other several heavens. Unless the five Immortal Emperors step in ……”
Speaking of this, even Elder Gong felt that it was unlikely, the five Immortal Emperors ruled over the entire Immortal Realm, and were also responsible for the safety and security of the Immortal Realm, so how could they possibly care about such trivial matters?
With this thought, Gong Lao took the initiative to digress.
“Let’s not talk about this, aren’t you interested in the fighting arena? In fact, to put it bluntly, the fighting arena is no different from this Jade Spring Building, both are places for people to enjoy themselves for pleasure, it’s just that the threshold to enter the fighting arena is even higher than the Jade Spring Building.”
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly, some sort of speculation arising in her heart.
“You just said that the fighting arena is a place for fighting, and now you’re saying that there’s no difference between the fighting arena and the Jade Spring Building, could it be that the people who enter the fighting arena do so by watching people fight for fun?”
“Not bad, and all the Immortals in the fighting arena who come down to participate in the fights have signed a contract before participating in the fights, even if they die in the fighting arena, no one can hold the fighting arena responsible.
But as long as they win, they will be able to obtain a large amount of immortal crystals, so even if the number of people who have died in the arena is countless, there are always people walking into the arena one after another.”
You can obtain a large amount of immortal crystals if you win?
Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred, “How many immortal crystals can I obtain if I win a match in the fighting arena?”
Elder Gong saw Xu Chuniang’s intention and warned.
“Don’t be impulsive, the money in the fighting arena isn’t that easy to earn, there are many people who entered the fighting arena with the same idea as you and ended up dying in the arena.
In the fighting arena, all kinds of opponents can be encountered, there was once a peak Human Immortal realm powerhouse who won many matches, encountered an Earth Immortal level Dream Tapir, and was trapped in the dream realm that the Dream Tapir wove, never waking up again.”
Xu Chuniang was also clear that the immortal crystals of the fighting arena were accompanied by killing and blood, and were not that easy to get.
However, this was the only method that could quickly obtain a large amount of immortal crystals.
As a later ascender, the resources of Zongdang Heaven were all pretty much divided up, and the only few dangerous places were also controlled by the great powers in Zongdang Heaven.
Not only did one have to pay a large amount of Immortal Crystals when going in, one might not necessarily be able to reap the rewards.
Even the commissioned missions had been snatched up by people, thus showing that today’s Zongdang Heaven was not friendly to them, the latecomers.
“But without Immortal Crystals, our time will be consumed endlessly, ten or eight years might not be significant, but what about a thousand years and a hundred years?”
Xu Chuniang looked towards Elder Gong, her tone firm.
“Ascending to the Immortal Realm doesn’t mean living the same life as heaven and earth, Immortals also have five declines and three robberies, even if they stay at home and don’t go out, once they encounter the robberies, there’s still a possibility that they will fall.
I’m not willing to waste my time on things like digging mines, raising golden feathered pheasants and doing labor.”
Seeing her resolute attitude, Elder Gong could not be persuaded any further.
In fact, back then when he first came to the Immortal Realm, he found that the real Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Realm he imagined existed greatly different, and had also lost his mind for a long time, and moved to go to the fighting arena to earn Immortal Crystals.
However, at that time, although it was difficult to mix with Zong Dongtian, it was still quite a bit better than it is now, and in the end, he didn’t choose the fighting arena in the end, but instead gritted his teeth and did the labor for twenty years.
