"Most people in the Divine Realm should know about this, especially the students who have signed up for the trial," Zhao Yuanyuan said.
Feng Yuqin sighed helplessly. "I really didn't know about this."
"You might have been so focused on cultivation that you didn't pay attention to these things," Zhao Yuanyuan automatically found a good excuse for Feng Yuqin. "Actually, there are always students from the Mountain and Sea Academy participating in the trial every year, so many people place bets on it."
Zhao Yuanyuan briefed Feng Yuqin on the betting and the trial, and Feng Yuqin listened attentively.
Dong Yaxian chimed in from time to time to fill in the details Zhao Yuanyuan had missed.
When Zhao Yuanyuan finished speaking, Feng Yuqin said, "It's a pity I didn't know about this earlier. Otherwise, I could have placed a bet."
"You want to place a bet?" Zhao Yuanyuan asked. "Who do you think will win?"
"Who will win?" Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows. "Of course, it's me."
"You... yourself?" Zhao Yuanyuan looked at Feng Yuqin and then at the people far ahead of them. "You're not joking, are you? Given our current situation, can we win?"
"As for you..." Feng Yuqin paused for a moment. "I don't know, but I will win."
The determined tone and confident expression left Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian speechless for a moment.
However, they didn't stay silent for long and spoke up again. "Actually, you can still place a bet. You just need someone to help you."
"Then I'll give you spirit crystals. Can you find someone to help me?" Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows.
"Master, if people didn't know better, they'd think you were poor," Xiao Ying said speechlessly from the space.
"Spirit crystals are never too much. After all, they can be used for cultivation. I've heard that in the Divine Realm, people use spirit crystals for cultivation. Why not?" Feng Yuqin replied.
"Are you sure you want to bet? What if you lose?" Dong Yaxian had a psychological shadow from losing every bet she placed.
Zhao Yuanyuan was slightly better, but not by much. So she still lacked confidence.
"Shall I find someone to help you?" Zhao Yuanyuan asked. "Are you sure you want to place a bet?"
Feng Yuqin thought for a while. "Can I use spiritual herbs?"
A new batch of spiritual herbs had grown in her space. Instead of using spirit crystals, she wanted to get rid of the stagnant spiritual herbs in her herb field.
"I may need to discuss this with my family," Zhao Yuanyuan said. "Anyway, we can contact people outside in this gravity stage. It'll be almost impossible after we pass this stage."
"Okay, go ahead and contact them. I have quite a few of these spiritual herbs," Feng Yuqin said as she took out some spiritual herbs, all of which were over a hundred years old.
Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian were stunned when they saw these spiritual herbs.
Not only were they stunned.
People outside were also shocked when they saw this scene.
Since they had heard the previous conversation, they thought Feng Yuqin might be a bit unreasonable. Did she want to get something for nothing? What if she lost?
But when they saw Feng Yuqin take out spiritual herbs over a hundred years old, they were envious.
Before Zhao Yuanyuan could say anything, Uncle Zhao from the Zhao family, who was watching the trial, immediately contacted Zhao Yuanyuan.
Feeling the vibration of the communication jade, Zhao Yuanyuan took it out curiously and answered it. Before she could say anything, Uncle Zhao's voice came from the other end. "Yuanyuan, agree to her. No matter how much she wants to bet later, I'll bet the same amount for her as long as she has enough spiritual herbs."
When Feng Yuqin took out several kinds of spiritual herbs and said she had quite a few, many people present were excited.
To be precise, those outside who could see Feng Yuqin and the others were all excited.
Even the Dong family actively contacted Dong Yaxian.
They asked Dong Yaxian to offer to bet for Feng Yuqin.
After Dong Yaxian and Zhao Yuanyuan finished talking to their respective family members, they looked at each other helplessly.
"So... there's no problem, right?" Feng Yuqin heard the attitudes of the two families and asked with a smile.
"No... no problem," Zhao Yuanyuan stammered.
His uncle was very strict.
Since his father was always busy, his uncle had almost always taken care of his affairs.
After all these years, it was the first time his uncle had spoken to him in such a tone.
Dong Yaxian's situation was a bit better than Zhao Yuanyuan's, but her expression at the moment was also a bit... indescribable.
She didn't know what expression to use to face Feng Yuqin.
Feng Yuqin stuffed the spiritual herbs directly into Dong Yaxian's hands.
Then she took out more and evenly distributed them to Zhao Yuanyuan. "These spiritual herbs are for you. Ask your family members to place bets for me. I'll give these spiritual herbs to you later."
Anyway, these spiritual herbs were a burden to her current situation.
But spirit crystals were what she needed.
"All... all for us?" Zhao Yuanyuan was stunned.
Dong Yaxian's pupils also shrank sharply. "What if... you lose?"
"I won't lose," Feng Yuqin said calmly. "Even if I lose, I won't take back these spiritual herbs."
As soon as she said this, the Zhao and Dong families outside were excited.
"Go and place bets for her immediately," Uncle Zhao immediately asked someone to estimate the value of these spiritual herbs and then doubled the amount to place a bet for Feng Yuqin.
The Dong family was sitting with the Zhao family. Since the two families were good friends, they almost did the same thing. They doubled the original amount and placed bets for Feng Yuqin.
Zhao Yuanyuan took the spiritual herbs and calmed down. "They should have gone to place bets for you. Don't worry."
Dong Yaxian also nodded. "My brother came to watch my trial, so he should be placing bets for you now."
Feng Yuqin nodded and continued to walk forward slowly.
The onlookers outside were not calm.
"Was I just dreaming?"
"Is this Feng Yuqin really not a fool?"
"Yeah, who would give away so many spiritual herbs at once? Does she think spiritual herbs are as common as grass?"
What these people didn't know was that the spiritual herbs Feng Yuqin had just taken out were really as common as grass to her.
Because Xiaojin was so good at taking care of the herb field.
There were a lot of spiritual herbs in the space now.
Some spiritual herbs could be replanted in the soil.
The ones she had just taken out were at most over a hundred years old. At least that was the situation in her space at present.
It was impossible for them to grow any older.
Since they had stopped growing, their medicinal effects would not increase either when refined.
So instead of letting these spiritual herbs take up space in the space, it was better to exchange them for spirit crystals for cultivation.
"What should I do? I really want those spiritual herbs."
"Yeah, Feng Yuqin just said that she won't take them back even if she loses. It's almost like giving them away for free. Why can't I have such a good opportunity?"
