Chapter 194: The Extravagance Inside the Window and the War Outside

Lin Chen became more and more suspicious.

There seemed to be an invisible big hand behind him, controlling everything in secret.

Lin Chen helped the Righteous Alliance fight against the Demon Sect.

But at the same time, there is a force behind the Demon Sect that is constantly supporting...

This seemed to have become a confrontation between Lin Chen and that force.

Lin Chen walked to the yard, raised his head and looked at the sky at 45 degrees.

From his angle, he happened to be able to see the majestic and magnificent Daoshan Mountain.

"If you want to be a Taoist, you should wholeheartedly ask the question, regardless of the secular world, and not ask about good or evil..."

Lin Chen withdrew his gaze and sat on the rocking chair in the courtyard.

The rocking chair rocked gently, and Lin Chen kept thinking.

"No matter what, according to the current situation of the Demon Sect, we still won't be able to capture the Fog City in a short time."

"At least, it will take a year and a half to occupy the entire northern border of the Country of Mist and digest the gains..."

"And when the Demon Sect completely captures the northern border of the Kingdom of Mist, it will probably be time for the Demon Sect to officially attack the Mist City."

"At that time, the Demon Sect's strength will probably return to its peak again."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen gritted his teeth.

With his current strength, he is still unable to decide the direction of this war.

Especially after Lin Chen began to suspect that there was a more terrifying existence behind the old demon with blood pupils, he did not dare to take action easily.

"Right now, the most important thing is to break through the Nascent Soul as soon as possible..."

"As for the situation in the Righteous Alliance, there is no rush for the moment... I will rush back from Daocheng City in half a month at most. It will be too late to go back in another year."

Lin Chen planned to practice in the Taoist Sect for a while.

The entire Dao Dao City was like a huge treasure, waiting for Lin Chen to trade and explore.

Previously, Lin Chen had to be cautious when trading hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in the Righteous Alliance, always worrying about being surrounded by the Demon Sect.

But in Dao Dao City, there is no such worry at all.

Lin Chen raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was noon at this time, and Lin Chen decided to go for a stroll in the city.

"The three cities in the east, west and south mainly trade elixirs, equipment, arrays, talismans, etc... There will be plenty of time to go after this."

"Only Fangshi in the north of the city is a little different, so you can go and have a look."

Lin Chen swore that he didn't want to go to the land of romance.

Well, I'm just curious about the most prosperous North City in Daocheng.

So Lin Chen turned into a ray of light and flew towards the north city. A moment later, he appeared in the monk's square city in the north of the city.

The streets of Fangshi, which are several feet wide, are spacious and clean.

On both sides are shops with more than three floors, including brothels, gambling houses, dental shops, entertainment venues...

As far as the eye can see, there are thousands of monks lingering in this market.

Beifang City is the most prosperous city in the city, and it is also the most popular entertainment place for monks from Daocheng City.

"Tsk, tsk, the prosperity of Daocheng is indeed far beyond that of Shanfang City in Changchun... This Fangshi Street alone is several times larger than Shanfang City in Changchun."

Lin Chen walked on the street and looked around.

There were many golden elixir cultivators along the way, and Lin Chen even encountered one or two auras that were suspected to be Nascent Soul cultivators.

After wandering around for half an hour, Lin Chen walked into a gambling house.

The gambling house in Daocheng is dedicated to the enjoyment of monks, and there are many tricks.

In addition to the most basic gambling methods, there are also gambling stones that Lin Chen saw in Qingyu Town.

Even bet on fish!

What is fish gambling is to starve hundreds of fish for many days, and then apply special secret methods to activate the ferocious nature of these spiritual fish.

If these spirit fish are allowed to fight for several more days, only one fish will survive in the end.

The result of betting on fish is that the winner takes all.

The monk who suppresses the victorious spiritual fish can eat the spiritual food of all other monks.

Betting on fish has almost a 1% chance of winning, so the odds are also particularly high.

Many monks will spend a few or even a dozen spirit stones. Once they guess correctly, it will be hundreds of times the profit.

"Fellow Taoist, do you want to bet on fish?"

Not long after Lin Chen arrived at the fish gambling place, a thin monk came over and asked in a low voice.

Lin Chen looked back at him and saw him saying quickly:

"Fellow Taoist, believe me! Press number 36! I have some gossip, this fish is guaranteed to win!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen looked at the monk in surprise, nodded in a low voice and said, "Well, I'll take a look first."

The thin monk glanced at Lin Chen and hurriedly got into the crowd.

In his ears, the voice of the person in charge of the gambling house came.

"Everyone, the first round of fish betting ends in a quarter of an hour. If you want to place a bet, come quickly!"

"I'll press number thirty-six, one hundred spirit stones!"

"I'll press number 18, fifty spirit stones!"

"I press..."

As the fish gambling countdown began, the monks' voices came one after another from all around.

Lin Chen stood in the corner and looked at the hundreds of spiritual fish that were put into the pond.

"Spirit Fish No. 36, it seems that the spiritual energy in the body is not the most abundant..."

Lin Chen shook his head. The monk was good at Qi-gazing and could observe the status of the fish.

But judging from the condition, it is unlikely that No. 36 will survive to the end.

Therefore, the odds are astonishingly high at one to three hundred.

As long as the No. 36 spirit fish wins the championship, one spirit stone can earn three hundred spirit stones.

On the other hand, the one in the best condition is Spirit Fish No. 18, which is the largest and has the most spiritual energy, but the odds are only 1 to 16.

"Betting on Fish, if Third Senior Brother is here... I'm afraid he will be very interested, right?"

Lin Chen smiled, and then he also felt itchy and placed a thousand spirit stones on the fish No. 36.

After that, he did not stay any longer, but continued to wander around the market.

In the afternoon, Lin Chen walked into a teahouse and ordered some spiritual fruits and a pot of Qingxin tea.

Qingxin Tea has the effect of stabilizing the mind. It tastes slightly bitter and has a long aftertaste, and is deeply loved by cultivators.

But its price is also quite high. Just one pot of tea costs more than a hundred spirit stones.

Lin Chen sat in the private room on the fourth floor of the teahouse, leaning against the window, watching the pedestrians and scenery outside the house, basking in the sun.

He just felt that life was peaceful and harmonious.

"Alas, this is what it means to cultivate immortals! I have been in the world of cultivating immortals for fifteen years, but I have never been so relaxed."

Lin Chen smacked his lips.

This Wendao City is really a good place. As long as you have spirit stones and strength, it is a paradise for cultivators.

Cultivation resources, status, treasures, even honors, beauties... everything is available.

When it got dark, Lin Chen left the teahouse again and went to Tianxiang Tower, which was across the street.

Since he came to Beicheng, he had to enjoy it.

As soon as he entered the Tianxiang Tower, Lin Chen smelled a refreshing fragrance.

The incense in the building was neither too strong nor too weak, just right for the nose, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The hall on the first floor of Tianxiang Building was very spacious, with hundreds of cultivators sitting around a table, drinking, listening to music and enjoying food.

"Sir, are you alone?" At this time, a woman in a colorful skirt and beautiful appearance came over.

Lin Chen glanced at her, and she was at the peak of Qi Refining.

The women in Tianxiang Building all have their own cultivation, ranging from Qi Refining to Foundation Building.

Their looks are also rare in the world, and they are charming in their every move.

"Is this a practice of charm?"

Lin Chen frowned for a moment, and then relaxed again.

Charm skills, used in brothels, can be considered to be put into practice.

"Well, is there a menu? I'm a little hungry..." Lin Chen said lightly.

After seeing Lin Chen's reaction, a hint of surprise flashed across the woman's beautiful face.

Although her cultivation level was not high, her charm skills had been cultivated to perfection, and even a foundation-building cultivator would be out of control.

The person in front of her was at least a late-stage foundation-building cultivator!

Thinking of this, the woman became respectful and bowed to Lin Chen, saying:

"My name is Wan'er. Senior, would you like to go to the private room upstairs?"

"No, I think this place is fine." Lin Chen shook his head.

Soon, Wan'er handed over a menu, and Lin Chen took it and started to order dishes.

"Dragon and Phoenix Spirit Soup, 600 Spirit Stones per bowl."

"Golden Jade Fairy, 180 Spirit Stones per portion."

"Purple Smoke Chicken, 80 Spirit Stones per portion."

"Hundred-year-old Dragon Tongue Wine, 500 Spirit Stones per pot..."

Lin Chen blinked, the prices on the menu were really not cheap.

Even the cheapest cold dish costs more than 30 Spirit Stones, and a portion of expensive dishes can even reach tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Lin Chen pointed at the menu and asked:

"Why is the food in your Tianxianglou so expensive?"

The girl named Wan'er said:

"Senior, you don't know. Our food is cooked by top-notch food cultivators. From the ingredients to the cooking, they are very particular. Not only are they delicious, but eating them is also very beneficial to cultivation."

Food cultivators?

Lin Chen showed an interested look after hearing this.

The so-called food cultivators also mean the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

They are good at cooking delicious food and lock the original taste and spiritual energy of the ingredients in the food.

Eating food made by food cultivators is even as helpful to cultivation as eating elixirs.

Compared with tasteless elixirs, it is obvious that delicious food arouses more interest of cultivators.

Lin Chen nodded slightly and asked again: "Is this purple swallow chicken a delicacy from Yanlai Country?"

Wan'er was surprised when she heard this and nodded:

"Senior is really knowledgeable. This purple smoke chicken is indeed produced in Yanlai Country."

Lin Chen nodded and pointed to the menu and said:

"Give me a purple swallow chicken, a golden jade fairy... and a glass of 100-year-old dragon tongue wine."

Lin Chen simply ordered a few dishes and a glass of wine, and waited quietly in this hall.

During this period, many monks dressed in gorgeous clothes and smelling of alcohol came forward and wanted to chat with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen declined one by one and sat in the corner of this hall, eating quietly.

Tianxiang Tower is worthy of being one of the top three romantic places in Wendao City.

The purple swallow chicken melts in the mouth, is fragrant and delicious, and tastes even better than what Lin Chen ate in Yanlai City.

The other dishes are also rare in the world, better than any food Lin Chen had eaten in the past thirty years.

After eating, drink another pot of wine, the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth, making you unable to stop.

The air is filled with special aromatherapy, which makes people feel happy.

The ears are the rare piano sounds in the world, which makes people feel like spring breeze.

In front of them are fairies who are good at singing and dancing and are not covered with clothes, which makes people stare.

In the mouth are the delicacies from mountains and seas that have never been eaten before, which makes the blood surge and the appetite move.

Lin Chen sat silently in the corner, watching everything around him.

After a long time, the monks left one after another.

Either leave Tianxiang Tower, or go upstairs to prepare to talk and communicate with the fairies all night.

At this time, the girl Wan'er also came forward and asked:

"Senior, can you rest in the building tonight?"

Lin Chen shook his head, paid the money, and turned to leave Tianxiang Tower.

Before leaving, he looked at the various monks in the building, and thought of the fight between the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect.

For a moment, it was as if he was in a fantasy.

After a while, Lin Chen sighed:

"Inside the window, there is a life of luxury and decadence, outside the window, there is war..."
