Chapter 220 Las Vegas
Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, Ujina immediately realized what he meant and said, "Is this a scroll about Foundation Establishment? I did see it in the Imperial Court... ah, no, in my house! If you want to see it, I can secretly take it out for you!"
Chen Yang looked at Ujina and thought the girl was becoming more and more beautiful and adorable. He immediately said, "Okay! It's a deal!"
Ujina immediately nodded: "Yes! It's a deal! You let me follow you, and I promise I'll steal this book for you!"
Chen Yang nodded, then lowered his head to continue flipping through the "Zhongtu Daojing" in his hand!
Ujina sat quietly to the side, not daring to disturb them.
This scripture is indeed extremely obscure and difficult to understand. Even though Chen Yang has the Dao Enlightenment Tortoise Shell Book on his body, it is still very difficult for him to understand it!
Three days and three nights later.
The two carriages have been traveling day and night, covering thousands of kilometers!
Chen Yang had been studying the "Chinese Daoist Classic" inside the carriage, and at this moment he finally understood some of the clues:
The so-called Foundation Establishment Realm is indeed fundamentally different from the Golden Body Realm!
Below the Golden Fu Realm, all activities stimulate the body's own potential.
Once cultivators reach the Foundation Establishment stage, they can communicate with the elements of heaven and earth, thereby forming even more terrifying power and even condensing their own domain!
The reason there are five Taoist scriptures is that these five scriptures correspond to the five internal organs of the human body, and the energy of heaven and earth that each organ communicates with is different!
For example, if you build your foundation on the "Zhongtu Daojing", the energy of heaven and earth that you communicate with afterward will mostly be earth element, and the cultivation methods you practice will also tend to be earth attribute methods!
Similarly, the Jin Yi Dao Jing leans towards metal-based cultivation methods.
The same applies to the *Fengmu Daojing*, *Yanghuo Daojing*, and *Yinshui Daojing*!
The reason why some people choose to establish two foundations is that if they can establish their foundations at the same time, they can communicate with one more element, which will give them more choices of cultivation techniques and make their domain power stronger in battle!
Chen Yang pondered for a moment. It seemed that he really needed to make proper preparations before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage!
After all, he possesses a system, making him far more talented than those geniuses!
At that moment, Ujina yawned and opened the carriage window. She glanced back first, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no pursuers!
She then looked out the left window, turned to Chen Yang, and said, "We should arrive in Vega City in a few more hours!"
"Let's rest in Vega, take a shower, and change our clothes! Because once we pass Vega, we'll reach the real border town, Steel City! Steel City is chaotic there, and we won't have such good conditions for showering and enjoying delicious food!"
Chen Yang was surprised by Ujina's knowledge of border cities and asked, "Oh? What are some local specialties and good food in Vega City?"
Ujina immediately exclaimed, "You don't know Vega City? It's a famous gambling city!"
"Many cultivators from the Great Manchu Kingdom and the Great Ming Kingdom have gathered in the city. They're all there for gambling, so there aren't many conflicts between them!"
"Vega City is incredibly prosperous, with numerous industries centered around its casinos—such as women, fine wines, food, and extremely luxurious inns, all favored by gamblers!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately became interested and asked, "So, you can make money gambling in Viga City? Can you earn spirit stones?"
Ujina looked at Chen Yang and said confidently, "Of course! The only currency in Vega City is spirit stones! This place is a melting pot; people don't trust the currency of the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Kingdom. Only spirit stones are the most universally accepted currency!"
"If you know how to gamble, you can win thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones in an instant!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's interest grew even stronger, and he immediately said, "Let's go! To Weijia City!"
Then, he lifted the curtain and instructed the three eunuchs in front of him, "Next, we'll rest in Vega City for a day before heading to Steel City!"
Soon.
The carriage then entered the city of Viga!
The city didn't look luxurious from the outside, but once inside, Chen Yang found that, just as Ujina had said, it was very lively inside!
The street was bustling with people, especially the women from the city, many of whom were dressed provocatively. It was common to see several women surrounding a man, teasing and making fun of him, clearly indicating that they were engaged in illicit activities!
However, Chen Yang wasn't concerned about that. He turned to Ujina and asked, "Which is the biggest casino here? I can't wait to make money!"
Ujina couldn't help but laugh and said, "Chen Yang, don't worry! Let's find an inn to stay in first. We can find out about these things by asking the innkeeper!"
Chen Yang agreed!
Two carriages headed towards the most luxurious "Welcome Inn" in Viga City!
Upon arriving at the inn, the three eunuchs, Chen Yang, and Wujina jumped off the carriage one after another!
This inn is indeed luxurious, but the rooms are also incredibly expensive.
The rent for each room for seven days is one spirit stone!
You should know that in other cities, ordinary people don't need spirit stones for transactions at all. One spirit stone is enough for an ordinary person to work hard for many years!
Here, prices can be measured in spirit stones, which shows how wealthy the cultivators in Viga City are!
After settling into his room, Chen Yang immediately went downstairs to find the innkeeper and asked, "Manager, what's the biggest casino in your Viga City?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sir, I could tell you're here to make a fortune!"
"Our city of Vega has hundreds of casinos of all sizes, but if we're talking about the strongest, fairest, and most profitable, then it has to be the 'Beast Fighting Casino' in the north of the city!"
Upon hearing "Beast Fighting Casino," Chen Yang asked in confusion, "You mean, this casino is for betting on fighting monsters? Do we have to bring our own monsters in?"
The innkeeper explained, "You don't need to bring your own monster! Of course, you can bring one if you wish!"
"If you don't bring your own money, you can bet on wins and losses at the casino! In short, as long as you have a good eye, you can reap huge rewards! And it's open and fair; there's no cheating!"
"The four casino owners are from the Ming Dynasty and the Manchuria respectively. They are all cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Golden Body Realm, and they are very powerful!"
Chen Yang nodded and immediately headed straight for the Beast Fighting Casino!
For him, as a beast tamer, winning money in this kind of casino is incredibly easy!
Chen Yang originally thought these casinos were all about dice games or dominoes; if that was the case, he would have to put in a lot of effort!
Unexpectedly, this largest casino was actually a place to gamble on whether monsters would win or lose, which was exactly what he was doing!
Chen Yang chuckled, sighing inwardly, "How come I never knew there was such a good place to earn spirit stones!"
At that moment, Ujina also quietly left through the back door of the inn!
She was completely shrouded in a black robe, and walked lightly and quickly toward a small alley!
Once inside the alley, Ujina looked around to make sure no one was there, then patted the gate of a courtyard five times.
The gate opened, and Ujina went inside!
Six Golden Body Realm cultivators stood in the courtyard!
Upon seeing Ujina, the six people simultaneously knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Young Master! You've finally arrived!"
