Half a quarter of an hour later, Chao Zhao looked at his eldest brother working busily in the blacksmith shop, and finally understood what his second brother meant.

The blacksmith shop owner was still cursing inside: "You old gambler, you lost again this time? I told you to work in my shop honestly, and now your debt has piled up even higher!"

In her mind, the senior brother, who was taciturn, calm and reliable, lowered his head after hearing the scolding, and his iron-forging movements became faster.

Zhao Zhao: “.........”

She didn't believe it and came to the door of the blacksmith shop.

The owner of the blacksmith shop saw that there was a customer, and he was too lazy to scold Wen Qingyan, and hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Sir, what would you like to order? This shop is definitely the best blacksmith shop in Yujing! If you have enough budget, I recommend you to go to the second floor."

Chao Zhao shook his head and looked at Wen Qingyan who was working silently in the innermost part: "I'm here to find my senior brother."

"Oh?"

The blacksmith looked over suspiciously, "Are you the junior sister of that gambler? Why, you came to redeem him?"

Chao Zhao took a breath of cold air.

She asked cautiously, "How much does my senior brother owe?"

"He owes the casino spiritual stones. I estimate that it is more than 100,000 spiritual stones."

The blacksmith shop owner stroked his chin and thought, and finally added, "They are all top-grade spiritual stones."

"???"

Chao Zhao’s eyes went dark.

In front of her, there is the second senior brother who is so expensive that Chao Zhao dare not ask the price, waiting for her to redeem him; behind her, there is the eldest senior brother who is heavily in debt and a gambling addict, waiting for her to rescue him.

Is there any hope for their sect?

With only a few low-grade spirit stones on him, Chao Zhao gave the blacksmith shop owner an awkward but polite smile: "...I just came to see him, and then I'll leave."

"Oh."

The blacksmith smiled back in kind.

He turned around and shouted, "Gambler, your junior sister is here!"

Wen Qingyan: “?”

He looked up and saw Chao Zhao greeting him with a stiff smile.

Wen Qingyan looked down at the work in his hands and the scrap metal piled up next to him. Remembering what his junior sister had said last time, he carefully selected a stone that looked the most pleasing to the eye and walked out.

The blacksmith shop owner was still communicating with Chao Zhao.

"Your senior brother is a badass. I've advised him so many times, but he just won't believe it... If it weren't for his good blacksmithing skills and the fact that so many customers were vying for him, I wouldn't want to take him in!"

"Oh, yes, yes...thank you, boss, for taking me in!"

Seeing that Wen Qingyan had come out, Chao Zhao quickly ended the conversation with him.

The blacksmith shop owner waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys can chat."

"Junior sister, here you go."

Wen Qingyan skillfully handed the piece of unknown mineral mixed with coal ash in his hand to Chao Zhao, and then Chao Zhao's hands were successfully stained black again.

"..."

She wiped the dust off her hands without changing her expression and took a deep breath, "Thank you, Senior Brother, but you don't have to bring me a gift next time."

Wen Qingyan nodded silently.

Chao Zhao looked at him calmly: "I heard from the boss that you owe a lot of debts?"

"Junior sister, do you believe in fate?"

The eldest senior brother suddenly asked her with a serious face.

Chao Zhao was stunned and answered subconsciously: "Don't believe it?"

"I don't believe it either."

The eldest brother still maintained the demeanor of a taciturn master, "So when the divination showed that my luck in this life was extremely bad, I ran away from home."

Leave, home, go out, run away.

Before Chao Zhao recovered from the shock of these four words, she heard her senior brother's next words, "I have been trying to prove myself over the years. Although I have been defeated time and time again, my fate is in my own hands!"

"???"

Chao Zhao almost fainted.

The future sword master was actually a middle school boy who ran away from home at the first moment when he disagreed with something. Chao Zhao vaguely knew why he turned evil in the later period.

Because in his control group, Chao Zhao’s former senior brother, Long Aotian who took the upgrade route, was obviously a son of destiny favored by heaven!

She owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in gambling debts. If a lucky guy appears in front of her and easily wins hundreds of thousands of dollars in jackpot, Chao Zhao will definitely turn evil.

Although the reason for his evil transformation is outrageous and uncool...but when Chao Zhao thinks about the true situation of their sect, he has become numb to it.

Chao Zhao was so tired and said: "Big Brother, let's add each other as friends in Xuantian Order."

"it is good."

Wen Qingyan nodded, took out the Xuantian Order and added Junior Sister as his friend. He was staring at Junior Sister's name on the Xuantian Order when he was caught off guard and heard Junior Sister's words.

"Don't worry, big brother. When I become the richest man in the cultivation world, I will definitely come back to save you!"

"?"

Wen Qingyan stared at the word "pie in the sky". Although he had no idea what it meant, it was no different from being stopped by a weird old man on the street and being told that he would teach him peerless martial arts.

But thinking of his master's instructions, Wen Qingyan paused: "...Okay."

The little junior sister was raised crooked and has a bad brain, so he should just obey her.

Chao Zhao, who had made a bet with his two senior brothers within one day, went to the nearby Sanjin Pavilion with satisfaction.

Before entering Sanjin Pavilion, she took the Shape-shifting Pill as instructed by her second senior brother to change her appearance and voice.

......

There was only one shopkeeper on duty at the counter of Sanjin Pavilion. He had a calm aura and looked like just an ordinary cultivator, but Chao Zhao inexplicably had a hunch that this man's aura had long been integrated with the entire Sanjin Pavilion.

"Sir, what do you need, intelligence or rare items?"

"How much do you want to pay for these pills?"

Chao Zhao transformed himself into the appearance of a young boy and placed the bottles of pills on the counter.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sanjin Pavilion rarely accepts consignment business, but——"

He picked up one of the bottles and placed it on his nose to sniff it, his tone slightly stiffened, "But what you presented is of top quality, Sanjin Pavilion is happy to serve you."

Chao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace: "What's the bid?"

The shopkeeper took an abacus and placed it in front of him. A crisp knocking sound suddenly rang out. He calculated while muttering to himself: "Miss, although these pills have a strong smell and abundant spiritual energy, I think the efficacy will definitely be good, but this smell is really-"

This means lowering the price.

Chao Zhao kept smiling: "Boss, have you ever heard that 'good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease'? If you can't even bear this little bitterness, then there's no point in continuing on this path of cultivation."

The shopkeeper choked.

"...Five bottles of elixirs, worth a thousand high-grade spirit stones. What do you think, young master?"

"make a deal."

Chao Zhao didn't expect that this elixir was so valuable. She had thought that it would be great if she could exchange it for a few hundred spirit stones.

But when she thought about the cost of a cup of tea in Yujing City, which cost one high-quality spirit stone, her thousand... didn't seem like much.

Especially when the ransom money for his two senior brothers was added, Chao Zhao sighed heavily.
