Chapter 223 Steal the Ring Too
next moment.
Xu Ren finally realized what was happening!
He waved his arms wildly and roared, "We won! We won! 10x odds, we won!"
All eyes in the room instantly focused on Chen Yang and Xu Ren!
But Xu Ren was so excited that he forgot himself and completely ignored the stares around him—his mind was filled with the thought that he had bought 200 spirit stones and would receive a reward of 2000 spirit stones!
Inside the secret room, Han Xiong's face turned deathly pale upon witnessing this scene!
He turned to look at his father, Han Penglei, and saw that his father's face was also ashen!
Han Penglei didn't know how the big yellow dog won, but he knew better than anyone else that if the big yellow dog won, the casino would have to pay out 100,000 spirit stones!
Even for the biggest casino like theirs, it would take half a year to earn back the loss of 100,000 spirit stones!
Moreover, the profits from running a casino are not solely the property of the Han family!
Han Penglei stood silently in place, without saying a word!
Han Xiong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Seeing that his father remained silent, he immediately shouted, "Activate the great formation! Someone is cheating!"
The command should be transmitted quickly!
The next second, a seven-colored protective array suddenly rose up around the arena, enveloping the entire area!
Chen Yang glanced at the surrounding array and frowned slightly: "As expected, taking 100,000 spirit stones from this largest casino won't be so easy!"
However, he remained completely unperturbed—with his current strength, why would he fear such petty tricks?
Xu Ren finally realized what was happening and immediately jumped to a higher position, loudly demanding, "What do you mean? We won, but you activated the great formation. Are you planning to renege on your debt? Are you not letting us leave? Or are you going to kill us to silence us?"
"Thousands of gamblers are watching. I'd like to see if you dare to openly renege on your debts!"
At this moment, Han Penglei also realized what was happening. He let out a cold roar, glared at his son, and shouted, "Remove the formation! This kind of thing can only be done in secret!"
Then, Han Penglei leaped from the secret chamber onto the high platform of the arena, laughing heartily as he said, "Fellow Daoists, you've misunderstood! We just activated the formation to celebrate a distinguished guest winning 100,000 spirit stones!"
"Everyone, don't be nervous, it's just a celebration! After all, a bet of 100,000 spirit stones is unprecedented in our casino! Congratulations to our distinguished guest!"
Upon hearing the words "100,000 spirit stones," the people in the arena instantly erupted in cheers, erupting like they had been injected with adrenaline!
"Holy crap, someone actually made 100,000 spirit stones!"
"Damn, from now on I'll never have to worry about the source of cultivation again."
"One hundred thousand spirit stones! That's enough for an entire family to cultivate."
Chen Yang smiled slightly and walked straight towards the counter!
He nodded slightly to Han Penglei on the platform and said calmly, "No need to celebrate, bring the spirit stones!"
The staff looked at Han Penglei, and seeing him nod slightly, they quickly ran to the basement, obediently retrieved 100,000 spirit stones, and handed them to Chen Yang with both hands!
Xu Ren, who was standing next to him, also took the opportunity to squeeze over and received a reward of 2000 spirit stones for winning the bet!
In addition, because his own dog, Dahuang, won, he also received an extra 1000 spirit stones as a winning bonus!
Chen Yang didn't want the thousand spirit stones; he gave them all to Xu Ren.
Xu Ren was overjoyed, holding the three thousand spirit stones, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter!
Chen Yang patted Xu Ren on the shoulder: "You go first!"
Xu Ren felt a little embarrassed, but he was also a smart man and knew that staying here would only cause trouble—Chen Yang was obviously a big shot and certainly not afraid of trouble, but he couldn't afford to be messed with!
He took three thousand spirit stones, led Big Yellow by the hand, and quickly left the casino!
Chen Yang put away the 100,000 spirit stones, cupped his hands in greeting to Han Penglei, and then strode away!
Han Penglei watched his retreating figure, his mood so gloomy it could drip water, and the smile on his face was extremely awkward!
Soon, Han Penglei returned to the secret room!
Han Xiong was extremely anxious and asked, "Father, are we really going to let him take away 100,000 spirit stones?"
Han Penglei sneered, "That kid is no simpleton, but the spirit stones in our casino aren't so easy to get."
"Don't worry, I've already sent people to find out where he lives! Tonight, we'll snatch him and the storage ring from his possession!"
Upon hearing the word "storage ring," Han Xiong's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately said, "Father, I'll personally lead the operation tonight. I... I really want to improve, I really want a storage ring."
Chen Yang didn't take the casino's conspiracy to heart at all!
He returned to the inn with 100,000 spirit stones.
Recalling the formation in the arena, Chen Yang frowned slightly: "It seems this formation is indeed very important!"
He glanced at the number of spirit stones he had left—he now had more than 27 spirit stones!
Chen Yang sighed softly, "We should upgrade the formation first; it will come in very handy at crucial moments!"
Without further hesitation, he immediately chose to consume spirit stones to upgrade the Qi Clan Formation!
[Ding! Your Qi Clan Formation has been upgraded to the minor completion stage, costing 1 spirit stones!]
[Ding! Your Qi Clan Formation has reached the Great Perfection stage, costing 2 spirit stones!]
[Ding! Your Qi Clan Formation has been upgraded to its peak stage, costing 4 spirit stones!]
[Ding! Your Qi Clan Formation has reached the perfect level after consuming 8 spirit stones!]
A series of system notifications rang in his mind, and at the same time, a massive amount of incredibly complex knowledge, patterns, and runes flooded into Chen Yang's consciousness!
Even with his formidable mental strength, he was almost overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, causing his head to explode!
"The knowledge of formations is indeed vast and complex!"
Chen Yang covered his head and squatted on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably!
It took him a full hour to finally fully digest all the knowledge!
The moment I opened my eyes, a powerful confidence emanated from within!
At this moment, Chen Yang finally understood that the ancestral Qi Clan formation that Qi Yue had given him was actually so powerful!
Most importantly, the highest level of the Qi Clan Formation was originally only at the peak level, but he used the system to forcibly upgrade it to the perfect and supreme level!
This also made his understanding and application of formations far surpass those of the Qi family's ancestors!
He understands formations better than the person who wrote them.
Chen Yang exhaled a breath of stale air and couldn't help but laugh: "An array, truly amazing!"
Moreover, Chen Yang was secretly glad that his mental strength was strong enough!
Otherwise, forcibly increasing one's knowledge of this formation might directly burst one's consciousness and soul, turning one into an idiot!
"It seems that future upgrades will have to be done step by step. Array formations and pills are far beyond the comprehension of ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators, and even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. Strong mental power is the foundation for understanding them."
Chen Yang felt joy and confidence.
He looked at his panel again. After the array upgrade, he even wanted to upgrade the pill level as well!
Unfortunately, upgrading the formation just now consumed 15 spirit stones, and we don't have enough spirit stones left!
That evening, Chen Yang sat in his room, leisurely flipping through the "Chinese Daoist Scripture"!
In the room on the left, Ujina was taking a bath in a rosewood tub, enjoying the warm water and the fragrance of flowers; the three old eunuchs on the right were already asleep!
Chen Yang was immersed in contemplating the Daoist scriptures—even with the aid of the Daoist comprehending tortoise shell scripture, it was still difficult to even begin to understand them!
No wonder so many cultivators have reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm, but very few have actually begun Foundation Establishment. Besides the limitations of Foundation Establishment Pills, it's also very difficult to fully comprehend the Foundation Establishment Dao Scripture.
Just as he was engrossed in reading, Chen Yang suddenly looked up, his eyes turning cold!
He clearly sensed that there were 28 clueless guys around him who had already crept towards their three rooms!
At this moment, Ujina was still soaking in the huge wooden tub in the room, completely unaware of the danger that was about to befall her!
She splashed water with her arm, letting it trickle down her beautiful chin and land on the droplets.
Outside, Han Xiong personally led his men to completely surround the three rooms!
He glanced at the ninth-level Golden Core Realm cultivator beside him.
These people are all assassins in the casino; not only are they highly skilled, but their actual experience in killing enemies is unparalleled.
Han Xiong nodded, signaling everyone to launch an attack simultaneously!
Facing Chen Yang, a cultivator who could readily offer ten thousand spirit stones, Han Xiong naturally dared not be careless.
Chen Yang frowned—of course he wasn't worried about the safety of those three eunuchs!
Although these three are effeminate and appear kind, they are all at the ninth level of the Golden Body Realm! Moreover, they have been stationed on the border, so their strength is formidable.
Chen Yang jumped up, raised his hand, smashed the wooden board on the wall with a "bang," and strode into Ujina's room!
Ujina was enjoying her soak when she suddenly saw Chen Yang break through the wall and enter. Startled, she froze and instinctively screamed, "Ah—!"
