Chapter 973: Exploring the Arena Again
Chapter 973 – Exploring the Arena Again
The immortal who boasted that he had gotten a lot of Corpse King Fungus was dumbfounded by the question, and he stammered for a while before saying.
“There is a hidden entrance leading to the second level of the tomb, you guys just didn’t find it.”
“Then tell me, where is that hidden entrance? If you don’t tell us clearly, it proves that you have a ghost in your heart!”
“Right, if you don’t give a clear explanation, you can’t leave today!”
The man sneered, “The hidden entrance I found, why should I tell you guys? This is Floating Jade City, who dares to cause trouble here openly? Anyway, I’m done talking, believe it or not!”
After saying that, he stood up and left the teahouse with quick steps.
The other people in the teahouse were skeptical about the fact that there was a Corpse King Fungus present in Luo Jun’s tomb.
“Corpse King Fungus is an immortal thing that grows out of the bones of Corpse Kings after they die, it is said that its growth conditions are very harsh, 10,000 Corpse Kings die and may not be able to grow one Corpse King Fungus.
But the Corpse King Fungus can cure a hundred poisons, its value is incalculable, if this item really appeared in Luo Jun’s tomb, I’m afraid that a lot of people would flock to it.”
“But don’t you all think that this matter is very strange? If someone really got the Corpse King Fungus, it would be too late to cover up the news, how could they publicize it in the teahouse? That person must have an ulterior motive.”
“But in Luo Jun’s Tomb, there are indeed many Corpse Kings no less, and Corpse King Fungus is also a product of Corpse Kings after their death, to say where Corpse King Fungus might exist, it is none other than Luo Jun’s Tomb.”
Even though many people thought that there was something wrong with that person just now, the Corpse King Fungus was too valuable, and there were still quite a few people who were moved and wanted to head to Luo Jun’s Tomb to find out what was going on.
Xu Chuniang secretly shook her head, this kind of news was known to be fake news to the discerning eye, but there were too many people who were shy and deluded enough to want to get a large amount of Immortal Crystals in one go.
Even if they know that the news is problematic, they can’t help but want to go and explore, after all, the corpse poison is not without an antidote, as long as the antidote is prepared, be careful, even if they can’t find the Corpse King bacteria, they will still be able to get out in one piece.
Xu Chuniang sat in the corner by the window, quietly drinking tea, and got a lot of news from the mouths of the teahouse crowd.
But the news about the Peacock Immortal and the fighting arena was rarely mentioned.
The entry threshold for the fighting arena was very high, and those who gathered in the lobby of the teahouse were mostly bottom-tier Immortals who didn’t even have the qualifications to enter the fighting arena.
Regarding the fighting arena, the most they discussed was that a certain Immortal they knew was desperate and had no choice but to join the fighting arena, and after earning a penny or two of Immortal Crystals, he died in the middle of the fighting arena.
“I’d rather go work as a laborer than go to the fighting ring, that’s a road of no return, although a fight can earn at least a hundred immortal crystals, but immortal crystals also need to have a life to spend.”
“There are exceptions to everything, I know an immortal friend who earned a lot of immortal crystals by mingling in the fighting arena, he didn’t choose to be promoted after a hundred fights, but left the fighting arena.
After leaving the arena, he relied on the immortal crystals he earned from the arena to impact the Earth Immortal realm, and successfully became an Earth Immortal, and is now a minor celebrity in the Second Heaven.”
The others tsked, to be able to fight a full hundred matches in a fighting arena and still not die, even at the lowest level of the arena, was enough to prove this person’s strength.
Xu Chuniang sat in the teahouse for the rest of the day, and only left the teahouse when the night grew dark and the people in the lobby had almost left.
When she left, the boy was full of smiles as he sent her out the door, and was not displeased with the fact that she had spent only three Immortal Crystals, but had sat in the teahouse for a day.
She secretly sighed with emotion, no wonder the Fusheng Teahouse could be spread throughout the entire Zong Cave Heaven, only need to spend three Immortal Crystals to be able to learn so much news, it was indeed worth every penny.
On the third day, Xu Chuniang did not go to the teahouse again, following the memory of the day before, she walked towards the fighting arena. The cultivators guarding the mountain path had changed to two sets of fresh faces, and when they saw Xu Chuniang, they once again stopped her and demanded that she show her access token.
“I would like to ask, what are the conditions for becoming a fighter?”
The two guards looked Xu Chuniang up and down, “There aren’t any conditions, as long as you sign a contract, and after signing the contract, you’ll also be able to receive the one hundred Immortal Crystals issued by the fighting arena.
However, after signing the contract, you must have fought a full hundred matches in the fighting arena before you can leave the arena, or else you will be considered to have broken the contract, and must return all the immortal crystals you won in the arena.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart was clear, what the two said matched what she had heard in the teahouse yesterday, after becoming a fighter, one had to have fought at least a hundred matches in the fighting arena.
“I’ve heard that there are many levels in your fighting arena, and that every five games you win, you will be able to move up in level once, and the higher the level, the more immortal crystals you will win per game down the line, is there such a thing?”
The two guards looked at Xu Chuniang with smiles and sarcasm in their tone, “New fighters joining the arena often don’t survive past the first three matches, instead of inquiring about these has-beens, why don’t you think about how to survive.”
“That’s right, if you ask so many questions, it’s useless if you don’t have enough strength, this is the contract, if you want to become a gladiator, just sign on it, as long as you sign on it, you’ll get one hundred immortal crystals right away, hurry up and sign it!”
Xu Chuniang took the contract and swept a glance, the contract clearly stated that all fighters entered the arena voluntarily and participated in the competition, if any accidents happened in the arena, it had nothing to do with the arena.
As for the rest, the rules that one would be able to obtain the one hundred immortal crystals provided by the arena as long as they signed the contract, as well as the rules that one had to fight a full one hundred matches before they could leave the arena, were also written in it.
As for the promotion rules, it was also mentioned in there that the default rank of all fighters who had just entered the arena was D-lower, and that they would be able to obtain one hundred immortal crystals for each win, and that they would be promoted to D-medium after winning five fights.
Fighters in Dingzhong could live to earn two hundred immortal crystals for every win, which was double the amount compared to fighters in Dingxia.
After carefully going over all the rules in the contract, Xu Chuniang returned the contract to the two.
The guard took the contract somewhat confused, “Aren’t you going to become a fighter, why don’t you sign?”
Xu Chuniang blandly said, “I do intend to become a fighter, but it doesn’t say I have to sign the contract now.”
“You tricked us?”
The faces of the two guards changed, staring at Xu Chuniang with an unkind look in their eyes; for every fighter they signed, they also had immortal crystals to earn.
The other party had said that she wanted to enter the fighting arena, but in the end, she gave her the contract and refused to sign it, so the immortal crystals that had arrived flew away.
Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the annoyed two, not panicking at all, this Floating Jade City was forbidden to fight, and the punishment for those who provoked it was severe.
After they made a move, not only could she defend herself, but there were so many of them that if she accidentally killed them, it would still be within the scope of self-defense and she wouldn’t have to bear any responsibility.
The two of them changed their color for a while, thinking that if they took the initiative to stir up trouble in the city, they would be caught by the city guards and locked up in the ice prison of the City Lord’s Mansion, so they finally endured it.
“Hmph, you’d better never enter the fighting arena, or there will be a day when you regret it!”
