Mortal Cultivation: Portable Space
#1783 - The miserable Xiahou Jian
“Fairy, you wouldn't have tampered with this thing, would you?”
Even though Huangfu Sheng had already released his divine sense to check and confirmed that the bamboo tube had the effect of shielding divine sense, he still asked worriedly, while staring intently at Madam Yan.
At this moment, Xiahou Jian and Gongyu Gan also frowned and looked over.
Wu Fan, on the other hand, looked calm and composed, watching with his arms crossed.
“Hmph! If Fellow Daoist Huangfu doesn't believe me, then feel free to check. I believe everyone can see that this thing is not a magical artifact, it cannot be refined, so how can I take advantage of it? As for its ability to shield divine sense, that is simply the inherent effect of the 'Concealed Spirit Bamboo' itself.”
Madam Yan was instantly angered by these words, and she said coldly. She wasn't afraid of Huangfu Sheng; she naturally wouldn't give him a pleasant look if he dared to question her.
“Hehe, that's how it is, but what if the fairy has tampered with the bamboo sticks?”
Huangfu Sheng also acknowledged this, but when he glanced at the section of bamboo stick protruding from the bamboo tube, he raised his eyebrows and smiled strangely.
The four bamboo sticks looked identical, but he couldn't be sure if this woman had a way to see through them.
At this moment, Xiahou Jian and Gongyu Gan nodded secretly. After all, this woman was being a little too proactive. If Wu Fan had taken out the bamboo tube, they wouldn't have suspected anything.
“You…!”
As expected, Madam Yan's face turned ashen with anger, and she pointed at Huangfu Sheng, wanting to say something, but she was interrupted before she could speak.
“Alright, alright, it's simple, just let Madam Yan choose last!”
These words were spoken by Wu Fan, as he really didn't want to waste time.
“Oh, that's a good idea, that way we don't have to worry.”
These words made everyone's eyes light up, and Gongyu Gan immediately agreed.
Then, they all looked at Madam Yan, waiting for her to express her opinion.
“Hmph! I have no problem!”
Seeing that everyone had said so, Madam Yan couldn't refuse even if she was unhappy, and she nodded with a cold snort.
“Okay, let's begin then!”
Wu Fan reached out, picked up the bamboo tube, shook it to thoroughly shuffle the bamboo sticks, stretched out his arm, and looked at everyone with a smile.
“Alright, I'll go first!”
Gongyu Gan took the lead, walked to Wu Fan's side with a smile, and randomly drew a bamboo stick to look at it.
As a result, the next moment, his face turned bitter, and he threw the bamboo stick on the table with a mournful voice.
Looking closely, the lower end of the bamboo stick had a blood-red character "C" written on it.
This meant that he would be the third to choose a treasure.
No wonder he was in a bad mood. After all, the later you go, the less valuable the treasures you get, but at least he wasn't the last one.
On the other hand, the other three, except for Wu Fan, had smiles on their faces.
“Then I'll go second!”
After a slight hesitation, Huangfu Sheng decisively went to draw a bamboo stick. These things that rely on luck are the same whether you draw them early or late, there's no need to wait.
Therefore, Xiahou Jian didn't stop him.
However, the next moment, laughter suddenly came.
“Haha, it's A, sorry everyone.”
Staring at the blood-red character "A" on the bamboo stick, Huangfu Sheng's face flushed with excitement, and he said loudly with a smug look.
On the other hand, Madam Yan and Xiahou Jian's faces darkened.
The two of them were already exasperated, and after hearing these words, they became even more angry and gritted their teeth, immediately avoiding the other's smug gaze.
Gongyu Gan also had a sour look on his face, and glared at him obscurely.
“Um, Fellow Daoist Huangfu shouldn't choose the Spirit Surge Pill, right? You're already in the late stage, that pill is useless to you.”
After a slight hesitation, Xiahou Jian still asked worriedly.
Madam Yan also immediately looked over, her eyes filled with anticipation.
“Don't worry, I'll leave that pill to you two, I want this 'Cloud Piercing Sun Chasing Bow'!”
Huangfu Sheng glanced at the two of them with a smile that wasn't a smile, and immediately turned around and put away the box containing the longbow.
Obviously, he had already decided what he wanted. However, this was normal, besides Wu Fan taking away those two treasures, only this longbow was the best. Unless there was a sword cultivator here, they would choose the Qingxuan Sword of the same level.
However, this scene relaxed Madam Yan and Xiahou's minds.
But soon, the two of them became nervous again, staring at the only two remaining bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube, and couldn't help but clench their fists.
“Okay!”
Xiahou Jian took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, gritted his teeth, and randomly chose one from it.
At this moment, Madam Yan's heart was also in her throat, and she hurriedly widened her eyes to look.
As a result, the next moment, Xiahou Jian's face turned black, and a cursing voice came.
On the other hand, Madam Yan giggled excitedly, her body trembling non-stop.
That's right, this was a "D" stick!
For a moment, Xiahou Jian was extremely annoyed. In a fit of anger, he brutally broke the bamboo stick in half. But soon, he lowered his head in dejection and fell silent, but the disappointment and unwillingness in his eyes were clear to everyone.
This was all fate, there was no way. For him, this life would end here, after all, there was only one Spirit Surge Pill here.
“Giggle, sorry Fellow Daoist Xiahou, I choose the Spirit Surge Pill!”
Madam Yan was not polite at all, as if she was afraid that the treasure would be snatched away if she spoke late, but unfortunately the pill was in another room, and she was too embarrassed to delay others' time to retrieve it.
“Then I wonder what Brother Gongyu will choose!”
After Wu Fan glanced at Xiahou Jian with pity, he looked at Gongyu Gan and asked. After all, this brother of his had drawn "C", so Xiahou Jian could only be last.
However, after saying this, Wu Fan still took out the last bamboo stick in the bamboo tube that should have belonged to Madam Yan, and shook it in front of everyone, letting them see clearly that it said "B".
Doing so was mainly to reassure everyone and prove that Madam Yan had not cheated.
As a result, everyone glanced at it and then withdrew their gaze, no one said anything.
On the other hand, Gongyu Gan's face showed a look of struggle, staring at the Qingxuan Sword and pondering in silence.
“I, I, I…, forget it, I'll choose the Core Formation Pill!”
After hesitating for a while, he sighed and said.
Hearing this, Wu Fan and the others were not surprised. The Qingxuan Sword was indeed the most valuable thing at the moment, but for a Supreme Elder of a sect, the Core Formation Pill was the most valuable. After all, there were three pills in total, and if used well, they could add three Nascent Soul stage cultivators to the sect, which was not something a magic weapon could compare to. Of course, if it was a rogue cultivator, it would be a different story.
“Brother Xiahou, it's your turn!”
Wu Fan's voice soon came again.
“Heh! Do I have a choice? It's the Qingxuan Sword!”
Xiahou Jian raised his head gloomily, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, putting away the box containing the Qingxuan Sword.
If outsiders saw this scene, it would be interesting. Normally, obtaining a high-level ancient spiritual weapon should be a happy thing, but looking at Xiahou Jian's appearance, it was as bitter as eating Coptis chinensis, without a trace of joy!
