Chapter 67: The Arena of Fighting Spirits!

  A faint light emanated from the pattern disc's diagram, and Yi Chen placed one of the soul stones on it, whereupon the light intensified.

  "Bang." Unfortunately, a dazzling light burst out, and the Soul Spirit Stone and the map disappeared together.

  "It actually failed." Yi Chen was slightly stunned, but failure was also a common occurrence when drawing and identifying pictures. He shook his head secretly and re-drew the picture to continue identifying it.

  The subsequent appraisal failed once again, but all the others were successful. Adding to the two one-star Soul Spirit Stones obtained in the previous two appraisals, Yi Chen now had thirty appraised Soul Spirit Stones.

  Two three-star Soul Spirit Stones were left, and the appraisal was also very successful, without a single failure, which made Yi Chen extremely satisfied.

  "Hiss." He put both the Soul Spirit Stone and the Pattern Disk into his storage ring, and Yi Chen didn't continue to mine. After handling the scene, he left the Armory Pavilion.

  Walking on the bustling street, Yi Chen arrived at the southern location of the commercial square, which was the territory of Gu's family.

  There was a place for bartering underground here, but Yi Chen didn't go there. Instead, he came to the front of a shop with a sign that read 'Dou Ling Chang'.

  "Yesterday, a certain card master successfully drew ten cards in the arena and won all of Carlo's young master's underwear."

  "No real skills, who dares to enter the Dou Ling arena? Sometimes with just a bit of bad luck, one can lose everything." Several middle-aged men walked out of the Dou Ling arena, discussing among themselves.

  Yi Chen came to Gu's territory this time, just to fight in the spiritual arena. This is a gathering place for magic mirror masters and also a betting venue.

  Demon Refiners and Demon Refiners use spirit stones as stakes, then engage in a wager by identifying the spirit stone, with the winner possibly taking away the opponent's soul spirit stone.

  "It's such a waste if you don't have fun in this old house."

  The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and Yi Chen didn't rush in. Instead, he bought a black conical hat from the surrounding shops and then came to the bartering venue.

  There were countless stalls here, and Yi Chen wandered around inside, exchanging the thirty identified one-star Soul Spirit Stones for ten unidentified two-star Soul Spirit Stones.

  The remaining two 2-star Soul Spirit Stones were exchanged by Yi Chen for three unappraised 2-star Soul Spirit Stones, bringing his total to thirteen unappraised Soul Spirit Stones.

  Yi Chen was very satisfied with this exchange and put all of them into his storage ring, returning to Dou Ling's arena.

  Without any hesitation, Yi Chen directly entered the Dou Ling arena and found it to be extremely lively, with countless small tables, each one having a Magician engaging in a gamble.

  "There are so many magic appraisers." Yi Chen glanced around and found that the number of magic appraisers gathered here was probably no less than two hundred, among whom there were about twenty three-star magic appraisers.

  "It seems that the Empire has a considerable number of Demon Mirror Masters, they just rarely come out. With the look of surprise gone from his face, Yi Chen strolled around the Arena of Fighting Spirits."

  He wasn't very familiar with this place either. After wandering around for half a day, he learned that Dou Ling had two ways of fighting, one was "official fight" and the other was private fight.

  Official matches are held at the Douluo Arena, which is run by the Gu family, while private matches are private duels witnessed by members of the Gu family, but require a certain amount of gold coins as a fee.

  As for the betting method, two magic mirror masters simultaneously appraise spirit stones of the same star level. The successful party wins and the losing party loses.

  If both parties successfully identify at the same time, then it depends on who used the shortest time, and the one with the shortest time wins. If both parties fail to identify at the same time, it is considered a draw.

  "It's interesting." After fully understanding it, Yi Chen was completely absorbed in it and had a feeling of eagerness to try.

  "Little brother, are you here to fight the spirit?" Just then, a middle-aged man with two small mustaches blocked Yi Chen's path, his face wearing a smile.

  "Two-star Magic Inspector." Yi Chen glanced at the right side of the other's chest and found a medal hanging there, with two star-shaped patterns engraved on it.

  The higher the star level of a magic appraiser, the better the treatment they receive. The only place where the star level can be identified is the Magic Appraisers Association, and as long as it is certified there, one can obtain the badge that belongs to the magic appraiser.

  Yi Chen did not have a star-rated identification badge on his chest, so the other party might have thought he was a rookie and specifically came to him.

  "What's wrong, are you going to duel with me?" He quickly withdrew his gaze, and Yi Chen's mouth slightly hooked up, intentionally using a hoarse tone.

  "If little brother doesn't mind, we can have a spar." Cai Wei's eyes gleamed with cunning as he stroked his small mustache.

  Yi Chen shrugged and followed Cai Wei to an empty table.

  "A fair one-time payment of two gold coins." A guard from the ancient house stood in the middle of the table, expressionlessly saying this sentence.

  This was the rule of the Dou Ling Arena. Yi Chen didn't say much, flipped his palm, and two gold coins appeared in his hand, which he casually tossed to the guard.

  "The little brother's move was quite refreshing." Two gold coins were not a lot for the cultivator, but enough for an ordinary family to spend in a year. Cai Wei's face flashed with a strange color, and then he also took out two gold coins.

  "How many Star Souls do you want to bet?" Yi Chen asked in a soft voice, his face expressionless.

  "For the first exchange, two one-star Soul Spirit Stones." Cai Wei's face was full of smiles as he took out two Soul Spirit Stones and tossed them onto the table in the middle.

  "Cai Wei that shameless guy is going to swindle people again, that little rookie is going to be unlucky."

  Although Yi Chen wore a bamboo hat, he was still just a young boy in terms of physique, and attracted the attention of many people, among whom not a few cast jealous glances.

  "Just one star will do." Yi Chen smiled faintly and handed a two-star Soul Spirit Stone to his guard, saying, "Exchange it for a one-star Soul Spirit Stone."

  The guard nodded and put away the two-star soul spirit stone, then handed Yi Chen three one-star soul spirit stones.

  "Can we start?" He casually picked it up and tossed two of them onto the middle of the table.

  Cai Wei, opposite him, saw Yi Chen's movement and a strange color flashed in his eyes. The two-star soul spirit stone is not something that ordinary cultivators can possess. The young man in front of him might be a big fish!

  However, Cai Wei did not reveal his thoughts, took out the needle and thread plate, and placed them on the table.

  "Two-star patterned disk, two-star soul device." When he saw Cai Wei's patterned device and disk, Yi Chen narrowed his eyes, the disk and device each had two stripes, which was exactly the mark of a two-star!

  "Made little brother laugh, come on."

  Feeling Yi Chen's astonished gaze, Cai Wei felt a sense of pride in his heart. He had gone to great lengths to get these two things.

  He shrugged and casually pulled out a tattoo machine and ink pad, placing them on the table.

  "A single-starred embroidery and embroidery disk." Many people gathered around to watch, and when they saw the embroidery and embroidery disk that Yi Chen took out, their eyes couldn't help but flash with disdain.
