Yun Sheng did as Qi Gubian said and wore the magician's badge on her magic robe. Only then did the eagle simulated by the time and space array withdraw its gaze.

Yun Sheng, Gu Feng, and Qi Gubian walked into the magic array in turn.

Yun Sheng didn't know about Qi Gubian but she and Gu Feng were both experiencing a teleportation array for the first time.

It felt like her body was jerked violently, and the lines of the magic circle began spinning around them.

It was as if her feet were stepping on cotton. After her sight had returned, she saw a brightly lit hall.

This was the fourth floor of the Wanlong Gambling House.

Wanlong Gambling House was truly worthy of having the largest gambling stone banquet in Yujing City. It was mysterious and well-hidden. After using the teleportation array, no one knew whether they were still in the Wanlong Gambling House or tens of miles away from it.

Unlike the other three floors of the Wanlong Gambling House, the one in front of them was rectangular and incomparably wide, four or five times the size of the first floor.With huge magical crystal lamps hanging in the very center of the hall, beneath it was a fountain of ice and fire.

Snowflakes and flames sprayed out from the fountain non-stop, creating a dreamlike and beautiful scenery comparable to fireworks.

In addition to the fountain, the hall also contained a few tables cut from crystal, with plates full of exquisite and delicious small cakes, tea, and wine from all around the world for the guests to enjoy.

Yun Sheng and the other two didn't come too early, there were already many warriors and magicians waiting in the hall.

"Yun Sheng, look." Gu Feng whispered. Not far away, there was a woman with robes that were somewhat different from an ordinary magician's.

She wore a ring on her finger, which Yun Sheng immediately recognized as a summoner's ring.

A summoner! A summoner has appeared on the fourth floor of the Wanlong Gambling House.

It was a female summoner. She was scantily clad, only wearing a short armor that exposed her navel, a tuft of white fur on her chest, and a pair of leather pants that outlined her curvy lower body.

The female summoner was flanked by a two-meter tall burly man with two hammers weighing at least dozens of kilograms, a warrior with a good cultivation.

Judging by the aura around the warrior,Yun Sheng believed that among the warriors she knew, only Feng Kuo was slightly stronger than him.

"That must be her familiar, I've heard that summoners have familiars besides them who are responsible for guarding them while they are summoning." Gu Feng watched with enthusiasm. They saw a true summoner today, even if he didn't find a suitable Soulstone, it would have been worth it.

The surrounding magicians and warriors were wary and fearful of the summoner and warrior duo.

Judging from their dressing style, they didn't seem to be people from the Great Zhou Empire. It was unknown what they were trying to do at the Wanlong Gambling House tonight.

Yun Sheng put away her curiosity, she was more interested in the upcoming gambling stone banquet.

For only one gold coin, Yun Sheng was able to find out some details about the Gambling Stone Banquet from the enthusiastic casino staff at the side.

The so-called gambling stone banquet was different from what Yun Sheng knew of from her previous world.

There wasn't a single gemstone, only Soulstones would be used.

Soulstones were extremely precious to magicians, warriors, and even to summoners, they could be used to replenish the consumed magic power and douqi. as well as be inlaid into magic weapons and scepters. And among them, the Soulstones from hunted beasts were the most precious.

For every gambling banquet, the Wanlong Gambling House would provide ten demon beasts, most of which had lost their ability to fight back, had died, or were about to die. But their time of death wouldn't be more than 24 hours prior. The Soulstones in them were the freshest.

Their ranks were unknown, and the quality of their Soulstones was also uncertain.

The Wanlong Gambling House would not inform the guests in advance about the specific rank of demon beast,and would not even guarantee that every beast possessed a Soulstone.

The guests who came to the gambling banquet would first take turns viewing the beasts, and then they would choose the beast they wanted to buy. Only if they successfully acquired the beast through the auction would it belong to them.

After hearing this explanation, Yun Sheng, Gu Feng and Qi Gubian were surprised. They didn't expect the gambling stone banquet to be like this.

"Then in case one misjudges the grade of the beast and spends several times or even hundreds of times the price on a beast without a Soulstone, wouldn't that be a huge loss?" Gu Feng was the least likely of the three to gamble, and heal so felt that this auction was way too risky.

"That's the fun about the gambling feast, if you evaluate each Soulstone like in a magic application shop and price it accordingly, then there wouldn't be any fun about gambling anymore. It's either win big or lose horrible because of your bad eyesight and luck." the staff laughed.

The stronger the person was, the more arrogant they were. They always thought what they believed was the truth.

The people who were able to enter the fourth floor of the Wanlong Gambling House and participate in the gambling stone banquet were all warriors and magicians of the Great Zhou Empire or Yujing City and belonging in the privileged groups.They don't really care about the Soulstone, they mostly just wanted to flaunt their money and skills.

From what the casino stuff said, the win/loss of the gambling stone banquet was much bigger than on the other three floors downstairs. This was the real source of income for the Wanlong Gambling House.

In addition, the annual gambling stone banquet even also auctioned Soulstones of ninth rank or higher.

Using only tens of gold coins to buy a peak sixth-rank demon beast, someone got rich overnight at the gambling banquet. Not to mention the Soulstone, just the beast's fur, bones, and blood made him earn a fortune.

But there were also people who spent all their possessions to buy a presumed seventh-rank demon beast. But in the end, it was just an ordinary beast that didn't even have a Soulstone.

All sorts of stories, from overnight riches to losing one's fortune, added a special expectation to the Wanlong Gambling House, attracting more and more magicians, warriors,and even summoners.

Yun Sheng's group was considered the most unremarkable among the attending magicians.

All three of them were only young Magicians, with almost no background, let alone fame. The powerful people waiting in the hall, including the female summoner, didn't put them in their eyes.

"Yun Sheng, how about we go back now?We at least got a look." Gu Feng smacked his lips. The few of them were only junior students of the Magician grade who had never participated in an outdoor activity. Also, only the intermediate students of the Royal Magic Academy could attend a special course on beast identification.

In Gu Feng's eyes, demon beasts weren't much different from ordinary beasts.

"There's no rush, we'll decide after the beasts are sent out." Yun Sheng only came here tonight to find a suitable Soulstone for Gu Feng.

And now she unexpectedly encountered such a unique gambling stone banquet. She wanted to see what kind of beasts would appear in the banquet later.
