Chapter 176 – The Gamble
”No bet! Never bet again, do you think I would fall for the same kind of trick twice in a row?” Master Li shook his head like a rattle drum and balked.
”No bet? Master Li’s vision is so high that even the inner dan of the demonic beast Bloodline Jiao can’t enter his eyes?” The Taoist priest made a startled, unbelievable appearance.
However, how Han Li looked at it, he felt that it was very false.
”Bloodline Jiao’s inner dan!” Master Ancestor Li, who had originally planned to never get involved with the Taoist priest again, suddenly changed his expression once he heard the name of this object, and his voice trembled a bit as he spoke.
”Isn’t that so! I heard that for the sake of this object, Master Li had stayed at the perilous beach of the Panglong River in Yuanwu Kingdom for more than thirty years, but he still left with regret. That’s why this time, the poor Taoist spent a large sum of money to specially seek it for the mage!”
The Taoist monk said in an unhurried manner, becoming leisurely, with an air of being certain of the other party.
”Impossible! This Bloodline Jiao that is so easy to catch, not to mention preserving the inner elixir. It’s not just a lie to tease me, is it?” Master Li snapped out of his excitement and revealed a skeptical look.
”The poor Taoist is a monk and doesn’t play tricks? The monk can take a look for himself.”
The Taoist monk did not want to bother explaining more, and with a flip of his hand, a white, blood-covered orb appeared in front of Master Li’s eyes, causing his eyes to light up as he looked at it, itching to snatch it up with one hand.
”If the monk’s Silver Armored Horned Python serves this Dan, and dives into cultivation for a decade or two, I think it will definitely leap from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to the late stage, and then cultivate hard for a hundred years or so, that is, to enter the JieDan Stage, which is not out of the question.” The Taoist priest’s words were full of temptation.
Master Li snorted coldly at his words and kept a stern face, seemingly unimpressed, but his flickering eyes revealed the inner turmoil.
”Such a rare bet, the Shi Master has to hesitate for half a day, could it be that he is really so unfavorable to the strength of your valley’s disciples?” The Taoist priest skimmed his lips and used a provocative method.
”Our Yellow Maple Valley’s disciples, it’s not your turn to judge the Qingxu Sect.” Master Li wore an unpleasant look on his face.
Then he swept a few glances towards the group behind the Taoist priest, and immediately had a rough idea of the strength of the disciples of the Clear Void Sect. It should be about the same strength as all the Yellow Maple Valley disciples.
”Fine, I’ll bet on it! However, which of my treasures do you have in mind instead?”
After pondering for a while, Master Li felt that the number of winners and losers of this bet should be in a 50/50 split, and coupled with his extreme desire for that inner elixir, he finally nodded his head and agreed, but was in a prudent state and casually asked.
”Hehe, the poor Taoist is not interested in the Shi Shi master’s other treasures, only want to after the gamble fluke win, hope that the Shi Shi master in the next twenty years, and then give the poor Tao refining two pieces of the same size of the iron essence only. The purity of Li Shi Master’s true fire is renowned amongst the seven great sects, so I’m sure this is a trivial matter!” The Taoist monk squinted his eyes and smiled, but there was a hint of treachery hidden in his words.
”Two more pieces of the same iron essence?” Master Li’s face was so ugly that he almost immediately jumped up.
”Niubizi, you’re planning to make me a laborer!”
”How come? As long as you win, you won’t need to do so, that’s the inner elixir of a rank four demonic beast! It’s equivalent to the early stage of our cultivator’s JieDan, it’s definitely worth the price!” The Daoist shook his head and said.
Ancestor Li’s face clouded over for a while before he finally slowly extended a palm and coldly asked.
”Still following the same rules as last time? Firstly, we’ll see who collects the most spirit medicines, secondly, we’ll see how good the quality is, and finally, we’ll see the number of people who come out of the forbidden land alive!”
”Of course, everything is as usual!”
The Taoist priest was overjoyed and hurriedly extended a palm as well, to strike a blow against the other party, even if it was to set up the bet.
”Snap!” A crunching sound came out.
The Taoist did indeed strike with a certain palm, but his expression did not have a hint of joy, instead, he cried out.
It wasn’t Ancestor Li’s outstretched palm that he struck on, but another dirty hand that appeared out of thin air, a hand that bizarrely appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the two of them, full of grease and dirt that hadn’t been cleaned for an unknown amount of time!
The disciples of the two sects who had been paying attention to the conversation between their sect masters and grandmasters looked dumbfounded at this ghostly scene.
”Elder Dome!”
The Daoist and Master Li, with green faces, shouted at the same time.
”What senior? I wouldn’t dare to be one, I’m at the same JieDan stage realm as you guys, I’ve only entered a few years earlier!” A lazy voice resounded in the middle of the duo, and then a person dressed in an odd costume gradually revealed himself there.
This person wore a blue shirt with several puddings, had a head of short hair that was several inches long, and had a white-washed green cloth bag clipped to his waist, and seemed to be a person who loved cleanliness extremely much. However, his face was full of grease and a large black patch, so that even his real face could not be seen.
”A few years? It’s hundreds of years that’s right!”
After seeing the person’s appearance clearly, Master Li and the Taoist priest laughed bitterly in their hearts, and did not dare to show the slightest bit of disrespect after letting out the emotion of “It’s really this person”.
This strange man is not only the age of the frightening, one foot into the Yuanying stage, and its original invisible recluse method is even more shocking cultivation world, even the nearby countries of the cultivation of immortal sects, have heard of its name.
I do not know whether because of the imminent deadline, but has not been able to fully enter the YuanYing stage of the reason, its temperament in the last hundred years, more and more hair odd, very like to tease the jiDan stage of the cultivators, almost seven factions of the few dozens of high-ranking cultivators, have been teased by its woeful.
But these usually in the door, have always been as a grandmaster for the cultivators, but take him no way.
On the deep magic power, this person in the JieDan stage cultivators is the first; on the background background, it is the seven sects in the strongest strength of the cover the moon sect of people; to find the door of the YuanYing stage of the “high people” to teach him a lesson, but most of these “high people” with their acquaintance, that is, do not know a few people, but also do not want to do anything for him, but he is not willing to do anything for him. However, most of these people know each other, and even the ones who don’t know each other don’t want to get into trouble for such a trivial matter!
As a result, he became a “bully” and a “scoundrel” among the top echelons of the Immortal Cultivation World, and basically, anyone who saw him was at his own peril! I hope he was in a good mood that day, otherwise a little teasing and suffering is inevitable!
The sudden arrival of such a “senior”, how can not let Li Zu and the Taoist priest was surprised, full of apprehension! The two of them had suffered from it before!
”Since it’s a bet, wouldn’t it be too cold for just the two of you, even if I’m a bad old man!” This dome senior seemed to be in a good mood, but said something that made the two of them scream in agony.
”Elder is joking, how can our two disciples be compared to the high disciples of the Moon Covering Sect, surely it is a quasi-loss without a win, no need to bet, we will just dry up and pay our respects!” The Taoist priest forced a smile and laughed with him.
Ancestor Li’s lips were tightly closed, but the look on his face showed that he agreed with this one hundred and twenty times.
The old man dome smiled coldly a few times, rolled his eyes, and said strangely, “Would I do such a deceitful and underhanded thing? Don’t worry about it, as long as your two families’ scores add up and exceed this clan’s, then it will be counted as my loss, and then the two of you will then split the winners and losers.”
”Fruitful?”
The Taoist priest couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, although this person was temperamental and laughed and cursed as he pleased, but what he said was indeed decisive and never reneged on his promise. In that case, this bet was considered fair, and even the two of them had slightly taken advantage of it.
”These three talismanic treasures of invisible needles were refined for fun when I had nothing to do, anyway, I don’t have any descendants, so let’s make it a bet this time!” This old man raised his hand and revealed three talismans with seven-colored needles drawn on them, and with a shake, he put them away again.
Seeing this, Ancestor Li and the Taoist priest couldn’t hide the astonishment on their faces, and couldn’t help but glance at each other, both seeing a bit of greed in each other’s eyes.
