Chapter 67 I'm the host, taking turns, asking for recommendation votes!

  P.S: If convenient, please cast a few recommendation votes! Thank you!

  Among the heavens and earth, the wonders of stone are endless. Among them, the most common is the Ling Stone, which is formed by the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth after years of warmth and nourishment. There is also a strange stone called Crystal Stone, which is formed by the warmth and nourishment of the mysterious and wonderful energies between the heavens and earth. There are Crystal Stones with extremely heavy yin energy, such as the Xuan Yin Crystal Stone, and those with extremely heavy yang energy, such as the Pure Yang Crystal Stone. The crystal pendant that Tang Jing took out was called the Blue Life Crystal, which contained the breath of life within it.

  The essence of life is even more wonderful, not only can it connect muscles and bones, cure all kinds of injuries, but also use it to refine talismans and instruments. At the same time, after absorption, it can also be used to temper the elixir field, divine soul, etc., which is why the value of life crystals is extremely expensive.

  This thumb-sized blue topaz, although not the highest grade of life crystal, is absolutely a priceless treasure in this small Yongwang City.

  After Tang Jing passed the ninth tribulation, even his lifelong cave was blown to smithereens. Everything he wore during the tribulation was shattered and scattered, leaving him with nothing but his bare body. As for this pendant, it's said that it appeared out of nowhere in Yun Miao's cave after some inexplicable event occurred. It's possible that Yun Miao or Shangguan Ling hastily left it behind when they departed. Tang Jing only discovered the pendant when he put on his clothes, but whether it belonged to Shangguan Ling or Yun Miao remains unknown.

  He has always disliked taking advantage of others, especially women, so when he needed spirit stones, he didn't pawn them off. He planned to return them after meeting up, but using this thing to earn some spirit stones isn't bad either.

  No one expected that this seemingly ordinary Tang Jing would take out a blue crystal of life at once, such a treasure is absolutely qualified to dazzle everyone's eyes. At the moment when Tang Jing took it out, all the people in the Yi family stood up, their eyes fixed on this pendant, including Guan Ming and Meng Jingtong.

  "How much? Is this thing worth money?"

  Tang Qing sat leisurely on the long bench, with his legs crossed, eating a crazy fruit while playing with the pendant in his hand. The pendant flipped between his fingers, and everyone's gaze followed its movement.

  Luó Zǐ Mò's family was a renowned wealthy merchant in Yōng Chéng, and under the influence of his surroundings, his eyes were also extremely venomous. When he felt a refreshing breath, he immediately guessed the name of this crystal stone. Upon hearing Táng Zhēng's voice, he took a deep breath, stared straight at the Blue Life Crystal, nodded heavily, "Worth it! Absolutely worth it!" After speaking, he was afraid that Táng Zhēng would regret it, and said, "The bet has been made, can we start now?"

  Luó Zǐ Mò was already somewhat eager to get his hands on the treasure, but Táng Qíng's next sentence immediately dashed his hopes. "You think you can bet my Blue Crystal of Life with just 2,000 spirit stones? You want to learn how to gamble with such a small amount of spirit stones? Are you even capable?" Táng Qíng looked somewhat impatient.

  "You!"

  Luó Zǐ Mò originally thought that two spiritual stones for one blue crystal of life was a good deal, but he didn't expect his plan to fall through. Now he can only stare blankly ahead, because there are no other spiritual stones in his hand.

  Just then, a deep and mournful cry suddenly came from outside.

  "What a big tone! You young people don't even go out and ask around, in this Yongyan City, when it comes to wealth, who dares to compare with our Luo family."

  Responding to the voice was a middle-aged man, who was slightly fat, wearing a luxurious long gown, walking in eight-character steps, with a gloomy face, and his eyes scanned disdainfully, falling on the blue crystal of life in Tang Jing's hand, a pair of eyes burst out with greedy light.

  "Uncle!"

  Seeing this middle-aged man, Luo Zimo was overjoyed at once.

  Many people in the arena knew this man, Luo Tianbao, the second son of the Luo family. He walked slowly over, not saying a word, and directly slapped nine Easy Cards on the table. Each card was worth 1,000 Spirit Stones, adding to the 2,000 from Luo Zimo earlier, making a total of 11,000.

  Tang Qing shook his head and spat out a few pieces of chewed up Demon Fruit peel, saying faintly, "Not enough..."

  "Young man, the value of a person lies in self-awareness. This Blue Crystal of Life is precious, but it's only worth 10,000 Spirit Stones! I've already helped my nephew pay 9,000, so we have a total of 11,000 Spirit Stones!"

  Luotian Bao operates four shops in the market and naturally knows the price of this resource. There are also many businessmen inside the market who understand that Luotian Bao's words are not false.

  "One hundred thousand!"

  Tang Qing raised his hand and waved it.

  "Tang Jing, you're being outrageous! This Blue Crystal of Life is only worth 10,000, and 100,000 can buy me ten Blue Crystals of Life!!" Luo Zimo hummed coldly.

  "One million, less than one million, no gamble!" Tang Qing also didn't rush, continuing to eat the Frenzy Fruit.

  "Young man! I think you don't dare to gamble, do you?" Luo Tianbao pressed his hands on the table, leaning forward, his eyes fixed intently on Tang Qing, as if trying to see through him.

  "Are you betting or not? If not, then just stand aside!" Tang Qing popped another Crazy Devil Fruit into his mouth, his tone becoming impatient.

  Luo Tianbao didn't respond, still staring at Tang Qing. At this time, Luo Zimo whispered in his ear, "Uncle, we're sure to win this bet, what's the harm in adding another 100,000?" Luo Tianbao was also a cultivator, although only a Mahayana practitioner, but he had also come up through the ranks by struggling and striving. In his opinion, the young man in front of him had just formed his Earth Body, and hadn't even generated any true energy yet. This Earth Body was known for its defensive capabilities, but its power wasn't great. Even if Tang Qing's physical body possessed very strong power, it would still be useless, because external forces could never compare to internal true energy, just like how true energy couldn't compare to the True Origin. This was an eternal law of heaven and earth, also known as the Boundary of Realms. The disparity between a cultivator who had only formed their body and one who had condensed their spirit was insurmountable.

  So Luo Tianbao thought that Tang Qing wanted to defeat Luo Zimo, who had a great vehicle cultivation, with one move, which was simply impossible!

  But looking at this guy's expression, he seems quite calm and composed, which makes him a bit unsure of how to deal with him.

  "They don't gamble, I'll stake 100,000 spirit stones with you, how about it."

  Another sound came, and everyone looked over to see a young man with purple clothes, long hair covering half of his face, holding a long sword walking towards them from the clouds. This person was one of the five heroes of Yong City, Meng Jingtong!

  "Mind your own business! This is a bet between us, what's it got to do with you?"

  Luó Zǐ Mò had always been overshadowed by the three outstanding talents of Yōng Chéng, and had long since looked down on Méng Jīng Tóng.

  "You can't afford to gamble, are you saying I, Meng Jingtong, am not allowed to gamble?" Meng Jingtong's voice was even more arrogant and cold.

  "Master Meng is quite impressive." Luo Tianbao sneered, saying, "Is there a game in this Yongyang City that our Luo family can't afford? Ten million is just ten million!" After speaking, Luo Tianbao instructed the servant beside him to fetch his Easy Card.

  "Tang Qing! He'll bet one move with you, I'll bet three moves with you. If you can defeat me within three moves, Meng Jing will willingly admit defeat and give you 100,000 Spirit Stones!"

  "Despicable! You're a despicable person!" Luo Zimo knew that Meng Jingtong's cultivation had already entered the post-heavenly stage, but he refused to admit it. He said, "When did I, Luo Zimo, ever say that I would bet on one move with him? What I said earlier was ten moves, and it was he himself who said he could defeat me within one move!"

  "I bet myself three moves, is there a problem?" Meng Jingtong's face was half-covered, but the arrogance in those eyes was impossible to conceal.

  "Ah!" Lu Zimo gritted his teeth in anger, and then turned to Tang Qing and said, "Tang Qing! Meng Jingtong's cultivation has already entered the Post-Heavenly stage, while I've only just entered the Mahayana stage, I'm still very weak! Alright, no changes for ten moves! If you can defeat me within ten moves, then you win!"

  Meng Jingtong and Guan Ming were vying for the right to gamble, each lowering their demands. Suddenly, Tang Qing spoke up, "No need to argue, everyone will have a chance. I'll be the banker, you two take turns." He pointed at Luo Zimo and said, "First come first served, you go first!"

  "Great!" Luo Zimo was extremely excited.

  Meng Jingtong was not foolish either, he clearly knew that if Luo Zimo came first and won, then what would be the point of his own gamble? He let out a cold snort and said, "Tang Qing, it seems you only have one Azure Life Crystal?"

  "What if I win after all? So you still have a chance."

  "If you can't take out the Blue Crystal of Life after losing to me, I'll take your life. Are you daring enough to bet?" Meng Jingtong's eyes snapped open, with a fierce glint in his gaze.

  Tang Qing was taken aback and lost his smile, rubbing his chin, glanced at him and said, "What's your name again?"

  "Long live Meng!"

  Tang Jing nodded and said, "Then let's begin."

  "Hold on." Luo Tianbao suddenly said, "Talk is cheap, this time the stakes are high, in order to be fair, I think we need to find a reputable person to act as judge." Luo Tianbao was also over fifty years old, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was off about this matter. This young man with the surname Tang was too calm and composed, making him unable to grasp the situation, fearing there might be some trickery, so he made this request as a precaution.

  Just as his voice fell, a faint sound came over.

  "I don't know if I have the qualifications to be the judge of this gamble."

  It was a woman's voice, cold and clear yet with a hint of charm.
