Chapter 3240

A strange expression appeared on Xiao Hua's face. He didn't dare to give Liu Yi too many spirit fruits and only gave him the lowest grade spirit jujube. Firstly, it was to let him eat until he was full. Secondly, it was to let him experience the spiritual items of Daoism. Xiao Hua didn't place too much hope on the spirit jujube.

However, Xiao Hua still underestimated the spirit jujube in his space and also underestimated Liu Yi's aptitude. Just this one spirit jujube was enough for Liu Yi to grasp the spirit jujube as a "small foot".

"En, you should first experience it and don't do anything else!"

Xiao Hua thought for a moment and instructed, "My Daoism's divine abilities all rely on the spirit jujube of heaven and earth. If you can't experience the spirit jujube of heaven and earth, just relying on these spirit fruits … it's impossible for you to step onto the path of Dao!"

"Yes, this little one understands!" Liu Yi was very happy. He took another bite of the spirit jujube and closed his eyes to experience it.

Looking at Liu Yi's excited appearance, Xiao Hua inwardly sighed. Liu Yi's aptitude was indeed not bad. Not only was he able to comprehend a Qi Refining cultivation method that he had never cultivated before, he was also able to keenly sense the faint spiritual energy within the Spirit Jujube. This was absolutely impossible for the previous Xiao Hua.

Unfortunately, Xiao Hua was even more clear that if Liu Yi couldn't sense the spirit jujube of heaven and earth, it would be impossible for him to step onto the threshold of cultivation. Without the spirit jujube of heaven and earth, all of Daoism's cultivation was just a castle in the air.

After entering Jia Sa Country, other than encountering the Black Armored Army led by Dia Wu at the bridge, there were no other unforeseen events. The caravan of Xun Hai Trading Company moved forward in an extremely orderly manner. When night came, someone led them to a spacious mountain ridge to rest.

The caravan was prepared. Not long after, Qi Jin led two people and brought some food to Xiao Hua and the others. What made Xiao Jian depressed was that other than his own stomach being hungry, Liu Yi and Yuan Ya didn't feel hungry or thirsty at all. They didn't even drink a mouthful of water.

Compared to Xiao Jian's depression, Qi Jin was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth!

Otherworldly ah … What does this mean?

This means that the immortal in front of me is really an immortal ah!

As for the Taoist priest who took his silver coins … he was just like him, a layman!

After Qi Jin left, Xiao Jian gnawed on a stewed pig trotter. Although the pig trotter was very fragrant, Xiao Jian's eyes were filled with hidden bitterness as he looked at Xiao Hua, who was cultivating with his eyes closed.

His mouth was tasteless!!

Xiao Hua ignored him and seemed to have fallen asleep.

After the meal, a bonfire was lit in the middle of the group of carriages. The escorts and some of the workers from the trading companies took out food and wine, and even gambling equipment. They started to make a ruckus.

Seeing this lively scene, the eyes of Xiao Jian, who had been silent all this time and felt somewhat out of place with Xiao Hua, suddenly lit up. He glanced at Xiao Hua from the corner of his eyes and quietly walked over.

However, he had only taken a few steps when Yuan Ya hurriedly got up and followed him out. When they reached the shadow of a carriage, Yuan Ya hurriedly caught up with Xiao Jian and said in a low voice, "Master, for you!"

"What?"

Xiao Jian was stunned. When he saw Yuan Ya carefully take out a Spirit Jujube wrapped in an oil bag from his bosom, his face turned cold. "Pa!" He slapped the oil bag away and said, "This old man doesn't need the pity of others!

This old man has eaten a lot of these spirit fruits in the past! "

After he finished speaking, he ignored Yuan Ya and quickly walked away.

The embers of the bonfire gradually extinguished in the night wind. Xiao Jian happily walked back while humming a tune. He lay down near the carriage and quickly fell asleep.

In the night, Xiao Hua opened his eyes and indifferently swept a glance at everything that was somewhat messy. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of ridicule. The Taoist's divine sense was actually used by Xiao Jian in gambling … I'm afraid that if the Dao Sovereign above the Ninth Heaven knew, he would fly down in anger to punish Xiao Jian right?

On the second and third days, they didn't encounter the bandits that Qi Jin was worried about. Everything was normal. Moreover, there were more carriages on the road. Not only were there bodyguards from the Xun Hai Trading Company, there were also bodyguards from other trading companies. It seemed that even if bandits came out, there was no need for Xiao Hua and the others to make a move. These bodyguards could handle it.

Qi Jin and the other managers of the trading company were happy, but on the other hand, Xiao Jian couldn't be happy!

His divine sense was originally weak. On the first day, it was exhausted. This divine sense won him a lot of money.

However, on the second and third day, there were more bodyguards participating in the gambling. Xiao Jian no longer had any means to cheat. He didn't know if it was because of bad luck or other reasons, but Xiao Jian lost again and again!

At the beginning, Xiao Jian wanted to withdraw in time. Unfortunately, he won too much on the first day. How could the bodyguards who lost money let him go?

After he lost all the money he had won in the past to others, even with Qi Jin's reminder, the red-eyed Xiao Jian simply couldn't listen. He even said that he would get angry with anyone who didn't allow him to gamble!

This kind of gambling behavior was the favorite of all gamblers!

The gambling continued until dawn. Under the morning light, Xiao Jian walked to the front of the carriage, somewhat tired. In the distant shadows, a group of bodyguards and some shop assistants who participated in the gambling secretly poked their heads out. They were afraid of the otherworldly Xiao Hua, and even more afraid of Yuan Ya who was more ferocious than a beast. However, they couldn't let go of the vitality stones that Xiao Jian lost to them!

Losing a game wasn't scary. What was scary was: The more you bet, the more you lose, and the more you lose, the more you gamble!

On the third night, no one came to wake Xiao Jian up. However, as he looked at the bustling scene around the bonfire and heard the bets being placed, Xiao Jian felt as if there was a pair of small hands clutching at his heart, making it impossible for him to fall asleep and calm his heart.

Finally, Xiao Jian resolutely walked to the side of the bonfire …

Looking at Xiao Jian's long shadow in the bonfire, Xiao Hua seemed to have understood something.

Xiao Hua felt that he understood, but in reality, what he understood was still too little. When the moon was high in the sky, Xiao Jian came back and took away the last portion of the vitality stones.

However, Xiao Jian didn't come back to rest. He followed his own vitality stones to the bonfire. This time, Xiao Jian didn't stay for long. Soon, the bonfire was abnormally noisy!

Xiao Jian staggered back. Although the darkness of the night was a very good layer of protection, Xiao Hua could clearly see that Xiao Jian's face was bruised and swollen. When Xiao Hua's divine sense swept over, he already understood everything. Xiao Jian … actually began to cheat after losing all his primeval stones!

If you want to cheat, you can cheat, but you were discovered by others!

If it wasn't for Xiao Hua and Yuan Ya behind Xiao Jian, this guy would have been beaten to a pulp by a group of bodyguards!

Perhaps one could see true feelings in difficult days, but one's true nature would never be seen.

Perhaps only when one was comfortable and relaxed could one see one's true nature.

How many loving couples could help each other when they were in poverty, but when they were rich, they couldn't help each other!

This was what people often said, being able to share hardships but not happiness!

When Xiao Jian didn't have money, he could bring Yuan Ya along. No matter if it was divination or running a training hall, he was able to keep his loneliness. However, when he was comfortable and his life was secure, the bad side in his heart immediately revealed itself. No matter how much he pretended, it couldn't hide it.

The morning wind blew, blowing away the darkness of the night. Everyone stood up in high spirits, their faces filled with smiles as they faced a new day.

That's right, how could a few boxes full of vitality stones be compared to ordinary gold and silver?

But it was Xiao Jian who lost it all. Everyone who received vitality stones was abnormally happy. This was something that they couldn't even dream of. Even if they went home now, in this lifetime, no, several lifetimes … they wouldn't be short of money!

This world was like this, there was only so much happiness. If you were happy, others wouldn't be happy. If you weren't happy … others would take away your happiness.

Xiao Jian was like this. Others completely robbed him of his happiness, leaving him with only bitterness!

Other than frowning, he was listless. Yesterday at dusk, he still had wealth comparable to a rich man. Today at dawn, he had become a pauper, with nothing left.

However, contrary to the expectations of Xiao Hua who was coldly watching from the side, after the carriages had left for half an hour, the dejection on Xiao Jian's face had already disappeared. It was as if he didn't go to the bonfire gambling house, and even more so, as if he didn't receive any vitality stones at all.

"Hehe … how interesting!"

Xiao Hua looked at Xiao Jian who was in a good mood, he really didn't understand. He was very clear about the value of those spirit stones. If he lost those spirit stones, Xiao Hua would definitely not forgive himself, and would definitely be heartbroken.

"Oh?

There are interesting things every year, but it seems like there are a lot of them this year! "Xiao Hua's gaze had just moved away from Xiao Jian, and immediately looked at a few tall mountains in the distance.

Those tall mountains surrounded the main road, and it was unknown when the main road under their feet started to narrow. The weeds on the side of the road were also lush, it was as if it was a barren place. Perhaps the huge gambling house from before made these escorts' sense of smell become dull. Only when they saw the tall mountains did they become alert, and immediately sent a few escorts to rush into the mountains to investigate.

Including the carriages that joined the carriages later, there were already dozens of carriages in the Xun Hai Trading Company. There were also close to 95 escorts from different escort companies. They waited for a moment, but still didn't see any signal, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

At this moment, Qi Jin came again. The pitiful Qi Jin was now knocked out by Xiao Jian's vitality stones. Those were immortal stones ah, Qi Jin who had traveled extensively had long heard of it. His own home also had a lot of immortal stones, but seeing Xiao Jian lose more immortal stones than he had collected in his lifetime, he really didn't dare to put Xiao Jian, who had taken his money, together with the current Xiao Jian.

He had already regarded Xiao Jian as an otherworldly expert. Even though this expert had been beaten up by many escorts, he only regarded this otherworldly expert as someone who was playing in the mortal world. Seeing Xiao Jian impatiently waving his hand, and then looking at Xiao Hua who was sitting cross-legged on a horse with his eyes closed, Qi Jin confidently returned to the carriages.

At this moment, the escorts who entered the mountains also sent a signal that it was safe …
