Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 356 Young Master of the Star Tower, Heaven-Defying Pearl, Calamity-Destroying Finger!

Gu Jiancheng would never give Jin Zhe the chance to show off.

Someone at the second level of the Immortal Ascension Realm really doesn't have the right to be presumptuous in front of him.

Watching Gu Jiancheng and the others leave, Jin Zhe was about to explode.

Among the five major forces in Jiuli City, he is the only one who is recognized as the strongest.

But now, even a palace chief of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace dares to ride roughshod over him?

This was an utter disgrace to him.

Shi Chong and Mu Lingxi watched coldly from the sidelines.

Although they couldn't afford to offend Jin Zhe, they were secretly pleased to see him suffer such a humiliation.

"Brother Song, do you regret betting on me?"

As he came downstairs, Gu Jiancheng asked with a smile.

"Of course not, what kind of talk is that?"

“Now, I have complete confidence in Brother Gu!” Song Qingshu waved his hand and laughed loudly.

At least the jade gambling he just saw had broadened his horizons.

Although this auction offended Jin Zhe again, once you enter the Eight Desolate Domain, even people of the same clan can turn against each other, so there's no question of whether you've offended him or not.

The law of the jungle prevails; that is the rule of the Eight Desolate Realms.

"In that case, I suggest you borrow some Saint Crystals and continue betting on me. I guarantee you'll earn even more!"

Gu Jiancheng smiled mysteriously, patted his shoulder, and laughed.

"borrow?"

Song Qingshu was taken aback.

Is Gu Jiancheng really that confident?

But nowadays, it seems that the only place where I can borrow money is Qianjinlou!

"uh-huh."

Gu Jiancheng shrugged and then staked all the remaining Saint Crystals on himself.

"Manager, I would like to borrow some more. I wonder how much your chamber of commerce can lend?"

Gu Jiancheng then looked at the manager of Qianxinglou who was following behind him and asked.

"Oh? Young master, you need to borrow it too?"

The manager was taken aback.

But the next moment, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Of course it is possible, but the specific amount needs to be discussed in the side hall, young master."

"can!"

Gu Jiancheng thought about it and then agreed.

But when the group tried to follow, the steward stopped them.

"The side hall can only accommodate Young Master Gu alone."

Yun Shuiyao and the others were taken aback. The Thousand Star Tower was so powerful that they were worried about letting Gu Jiancheng go in alone.

"It's alright, my wife. You can take them back to the camp and wait for me."

Gu Jiancheng simply smiled and said.

The Map of Mountains and Rivers is now in Yun Shuiyao's hands, and his clone is also cultivating within it. Currently, no one in Jiuli City can do anything to him.

"Okay, be careful."

Yun Shuiyao gave the steward a deep look before leading everyone away.

Gu Jiancheng then followed the steward to the side hall.

Inside the main hall, only Song Qingshu remained.

"A side hall?"

"Aren't the side halls of the Thousand Star Pavilion only open to VIPs? Even the Jin Clan Chief isn't considered a VIP of the Thousand Star Pavilion, so this Gu Jiancheng..."

But Song Qingshu's expression was one of extreme astonishment.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He immediately rushed out of Qianxing Tower to borrow money; this time, he had to take a gamble.

Meanwhile, Gu Jiancheng had already followed the steward through layers of top-level ancient restrictions and arrived at a door.

The door is simple yet exquisite, seemingly carved from some kind of top-grade ancient wood, and it is also covered with densely packed restrictive formations.

Without permission, Gu Jiancheng could not enter.

Upon seeing this door, Gu Jiancheng understood that this was definitely not a simple side hall.

The reason he was brought here was definitely not to discuss borrowing money.

"Mr. Gu, please come in."

The steward stopped in front of the door, and with a wave of his hand, the door was pushed open, but it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.

"Thank you."

Gu Jiancheng smiled slightly and then slipped inside without the slightest hesitation.

Only after the ancient gate closed did the steward frown.

"This boy is truly courageous."

At this moment, the cultivator on the second floor who was in charge of hosting the auction suddenly appeared behind him.

"Yes, no wonder the young master wanted to meet this person alone. This time, the Supreme Holy Path Palace might become a dark horse!"

"Should we change our strategy regarding the betting odds?" the manager on the first floor asked.

"Hehe, you're still a bit lacking in experience."

But the presiding cultivator smiled faintly, "The betting odds in the twenty-four cities all belong to our Thousand Star Pavilion. Although we are the bookmaker, we don't have much capital. No matter who wins, Thousand Star Pavilion will make a profit."

Besides, the young master has his own plans for this decision!

"That's true!" The manager on the first floor nodded, and then the two left.

After entering the side hall, Gu Jiancheng saw the surrounding darkness gradually being illuminated.

What appeared before him was a room filled with a faint fragrance, and judging from the furnishings, it even seemed to be a boudoir!

"Young Master Gu has quite the nerve. Aren't you afraid that once you enter this door, you'll never be able to leave?"

Suddenly, a sound rang out in the space.

It seemed to come from all directions, and its origin could not be traced.

The voice was clear and pleasant; it belonged to a woman.

"Hehe, Thousand Star Tower is a top-tier power in the Outer Heavens. If they want to deal with me, they shouldn't need to go through any trouble. Why should I, Gu, have any reservations?"

"Moreover, since I dared to come, I am absolutely confident that I can leave," Gu Jiancheng said with a smile.

"Tsk tsk, as expected, Young Master Gu is really arrogant."

"Please take a seat."

At this moment, a screen appeared there, and behind the screen, a figure could be vaguely seen sitting upright.

Even with his divine eyes activated, Gu Jiancheng still couldn't see through it.

This screen, shrouded in chaotic energy, is an ancient treasure of extremely high quality!

Gu Jiancheng responded and sat down on the large chair in the outer inspection room.

"I wonder what brings you here?" Gu Jiancheng asked directly.

"Hehe, since Young Master Gu is so straightforward, then I won't waste your time. The reason I called you here is to cooperate with you."

Along with the sound, a jade slip was also released.

Gu Jiancheng accepted the jade slip, only to discover that it contained an unfamiliar map.

"This map shows a region within the Eight Desolate Domains. I hope Young Master Gu will have the opportunity to enter it and help me find a treasure. That treasure is a bright pearl with two ancient characters carved on it."

At that moment, spiritual energy gathered in the air and actually transformed into two characters.

However, these ancient characters were extremely old and complex, and even after they disappeared, Gu Jiancheng was unable to reproduce them in his mind.

"You will remember these two words when you see them again."

"If you succeed, I, Qianxinglou, will grant you one request: whatever you want."

"Hehe, such a treasure is probably deep within the Eight Desolate Domains. Among the hundred races, there are countless geniuses. Why do you think that a Saint King like me could obtain such a mysterious treasure?"

Gu Jiancheng put away the jade slip, but said...

"Young master is a true dragon among men, naturally extraordinary."

"Moreover, I have something in common with you, young master. Your eyes can see through even the most barren stones, while I can also judge people!"

The figure chuckled, then said, "Alright, enough joking."

"Because even the strongest combat power is not enough to obtain that treasure, as it is hidden among the barren rocks, and without a discerning eye, it is like searching for a needle in a haystack!"

"And there are quite a few people who want to obtain this item. I hope you will have good luck, young master."

"As for the loan, here is ten million Saint Crystals. Young Master can use it for cultivation. There is no need to continue the bet. If Young Master is confident that he can come out alive, regardless of whether he obtains the treasure or not, my establishment will give Young Master another ten million Saint Crystals."

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng's pupils shrank slightly as he looked at the storage ring that appeared in front of him.

This person has quite the grand gesture.

Even if he doesn't go looking for that so-called treasure, he can still get 20 million Saint Crystals just by going in and out!

This is a resource comparable to twenty Azure Dragon Treasure Vaults!

Although he couldn't understand why this person was so convinced that he could succeed, Gu Jiancheng had no reason not to take the benefits that were right in front of him.

He then put away the storage ring as well, stood up and said, "In that case, please wait for good news."

"No delivery."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Gu Jiancheng was escorted out of the room.

"Miss, aren't you being a bit reckless?"

At that moment, another voice, full of doubt, rang out from behind the screen.

"Heh, what do you know?"

"This person has the aura of an ancient god within him, so he must have cultivated one of the six secrets of the ancient god."

“Those who can obtain the Six Secrets of the Ancient Gods are definitely not ordinary people. Since I have encountered them in Jiuli City, I will naturally not let them go.”

"If this person helps me get the Heavenly Rebellion Pearl, I wonder if my brothers and sisters will regret it to death!"

"Moreover, even if we don't get it, befriending a potential dragon with 20 million Saint Crystals is an extremely worthwhile deal."

The screen was lifted, and a figure stepped down from it.

Her body was completely enveloped in the aura of an ancient god, except for a pair of bare, white feet that trod through the void. The next moment, she vanished without a trace, as if she had never existed.

After Gu Jiancheng returned to his post, he told Yun Shuiyao about it.

"Twenty million Saint Crystals in and out in one transaction?"

"That person is very strange."

"I suspect this woman is no ordinary person; she's likely a high-ranking member of the Thousand Star Tower."

"That bead is very likely a heaven-defying object!" Yun Shuiyao guessed the general idea after just a simple thought.

"Well, it's alright, we'll see when the time comes!"

Gu Jiancheng didn't take it seriously.

Now that he has obtained tens of millions of Saint Crystals, he can use this to attempt to reach the Immortal Ascension Realm.

Furthermore, Gu Jiancheng crushed the last piece of ancient stone, and another ancient jade slip appeared in his hand.

Gu Jiancheng had not taken it out in public before because the jade slip was extremely valuable and would cause a sensation if it were to appear in the world!

Gu Jiancheng's divine sense penetrated into it and indeed found that it contained an extremely terrifying cultivation technique inheritance!
