Chapter 59: The Phoenix Mountain Dao Discussion Platform

"Little brother, I have an urgent matter at home, so I'm selling a ticket. The highest bidder gets it!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent for a moment.

Then, a loud commotion erupted.

"100 spirit stones, little brother, give me the ticket!"

"100? Brother, that's a bit too low, I'll offer 101!"

"Ha, a bunch of paupers. I'm just late, that's all. 150, I'll buy the ticket."

"160, how about that, Dao friend? That's not a small amount."

"170!"

"180, I can't go any higher. Kid, I advise you to take it while you can. There are disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect watching over there."

In the center of the crowd, Luo Chen looked troubled.

"If it weren't for the urgent matter at home, I really wouldn't want to miss this grand event. Ah, well, 180 once, 180 twice, 180—"

"200!"

Whoosh!

Two rhombus-shaped crystals flew over and then floated quietly in front of Luo Chen.

Medium-grade spirit stones!

This wasn't just 200 low-grade spirit stones; on the black market, they could fetch a premium of several low-grade spirit stones.

Luo Chen looked up and saw a towering man, over two meters tall and as strong as a bear, walking over.

He said nothing, just reached out and took the jade token from Luo Chen's hand.

This time, Luo Chen didn't pretend; he obediently handed it over.

He was simply too afraid.

Even if he had called out a price, no one else would have dared to bid higher.

Just because this man exuded the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, looking like a humanoid beast.

After getting the ticket, the man walked into the passage under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

As for Luo Chen, he was envied by many early-stage Qi Condensation cultivators.

Just by reselling it, he had earned 100 spirit stones.

There was actually such a good deal in the world.

Luo Chen bowed and said nothing, squeezing out of the crowd.

After a while, once he was sure no one was paying attention, he quietly walked to the entrance of the passage.

"Can I go in with the Iron Token of the Mountain Breaking Gang?"

The ticket seller was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who stared at Luo Chen with a cold gaze.

His Foundation Establishment spiritual sense scanned the iron token, confirming it was a free family ticket, and then waved his hand.

"Go in!"

Luo Chen lowered his head and ran in like a flash.

What kind of manners are these!

Just because you're a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you're just a ticket seller now. Shouldn't you be polite to customers like me?

No professional ethics at all, this Dao Discussion Platform will eventually go bankrupt.

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen activated the Way of Freedom and the Wind Control Technique, speeding forward.

This passage is really too long!

The transparent, glass-like passage was wide and long.

When Luo Chen emerged from the passage, it felt like he had run from the outskirts to the city center.

However, when he saw the scene of the Dao Discussion Platform, his mouth dropped open in amazement!

"Is this the Dao Discussion Platform?"

In his line of sight, a high platform stood in the center of the venue, with a massive stone stele towering behind it, reaching a hundred zhang high.

The stele was enormous and emitted a powerful aura, as if it could capture souls and spirits.

A magical treasure!

That stele was clearly a magical treasure!

"List of Heavenly Pride?"

Luo Chen blinked and looked around.

On both sides, like platforms carved into the mountain walls, stone seats were arranged in rows, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Among them, ten places were at the highest position, isolated by walls and formations, making it impossible for outsiders to see inside.

A familiar feeling washed over him.

"Isn't this just an enlarged football stadium?"

"No, it's more like a cultivator version of a gladiatorial arena."

The Jade Cauldron Sword Sect must have hollowed out the entire Phoenix Mountain to create such a large space for the Dao Discussion Platform.

After complaining a bit, Luo Chen looked around and ran towards the east platform.

There were many spectators on the way, mostly from other regions.

Local cultivators had limited spending power, so they probably only consumed a thousand tickets at most. The main audience was still the wealthy from other regions.

When he passed a platform, Luo Chen quickened his pace and said nothing.

Because this platform was the gathering place for the members of the Great River Gang.

"When is the match starting? Brother Gao will definitely crush that guy with the broken sword."

"Speaking of Min Longyu, who is he? Is he one of our Great River Gang? Can he beat the Heart Devouring Tiger Han Dang?"

"Who knows, I only know that Yang Rusheng is very strong, a well-known independent cultivator in the Heavenly Leaf Market."

"Hope he wins, I bet 200 spirit stones on our Great River Gang winning."

A bunch of scoundrels!

They'll end up losing everything!

Luo Chen cursed under his breath and was then stopped by someone.

"Dao friend, this is the platform for the Mountain Breaking Gang. Please go to another place to watch."

Luo Chen remained calm and took out the iron token.

The man looked at it and exclaimed.

"Turns out it's the token of Warden Wang. When did he take on a little brother?"

After carefully examining Luo Chen, he said, "Follow me!"

Luo Chen was a bit nervous but followed closely behind.

Walking up the path, they soon reached the highest point.

"Leader, this person seems to be a member of our gang, holding Warden Wang's token, but I've never seen him before."

Uncle Mi Shuhua looked over, his kind eyes falling on Luo Chen.

Luo Chen didn't hesitate and handed over the iron token.

This was the token that Wang Yuan had personally delivered to his first home.

He had said that from then on, Wang Yuan would protect him.

"It's Little Luo, you've joined the Mountain Breaking Gang too?"

Speaking was Murong Qinglian, who was sitting nearby.

Luo Chen chuckled, "Wang Yuan is my big brother, I forgot to tell you before."

Uncle Mi Shuhua checked the token and nodded.

"Sit next to Qinglian!"

Luo Chen nodded repeatedly and sat next to Murong Qinglian.

After sitting down, he was quite curious, looking at the sea of people, feeling quite excited.

Next to him, not only was Murong Qinglian, but there was also a young man with a fair complexion.

"Are you Wang Yuan's little brother?"

A cold voice came, with a hint of hostility.

Luo Chen was taken aback. Big brother, if you have a grudge with Brother Wang, don't drag me into it!

I don't like being involved in such entanglements.

"Ke Yue Lin, be polite to Little Luo!" Murong Qinglian scolded.

To his surprise, the young man dared not disobey.

"I just wanted to get closer to him, I didn't know he was related to you and Big Sister."

Murong Qinglian said calmly, "He is your sworn brother's little brother and also our neighbor. In the future, you should indeed get closer to him in the gang."

A sworn brother of Qin Liangchen?

This thought flashed through Luo Chen's mind.

At the same time, a gentle voice whispered in his ear.

"Ke Yue Lin is now the hall master of the Seven Tigers Hall of the Mountain Breaking Gang, inheriting the Broken Jade Tiger title from Old Qin."

"Originally, he was supposed to participate in this event, but your big brother Wang Yuan rose quickly and took his spot, so he might be a bit unhappy."

"But don't worry, with me and Old Qin here, he won't dare to do anything to you."

It was Murong Qinglian's voice.

Luo Chen looked at her gratefully and nodded.

Turns out, I have a high status in the Mountain Breaking Gang without even realizing it!

Big brother Wang Yuan is a warden.

My neighbors also seem to have a high status in the gang.

Just as he was thinking about these things, a mist began to rise from all directions in the venue.

The cold, clear temperature seemed to soothe everyone's restless thoughts.

Then, a clear and melodious sound of a zither echoed through the mist.

Suddenly, a graceful figure in a wide-sleeved flowing fairy dress floated out of the mist.

Luo Chen's eyes widened. Isn't that Gu Caiyi?
