My name is Luo Yang, I am seventeen years old, and I come from the Ice Heaven royal family.
I was one of the heirs to the throne. Coincidentally, the Immortal Sect was holding a ceremony to ascend to immortality. I was fortunate enough to be noticed by an immortal, and I joined the Immortal Sect!
This is the Immortal Sect!
As long as one can join the Immortal Sect, they can become an immortal!
None of my brothers and sisters were not envious!
The immortal who noticed me said that my talent was called Sword Child, extremely high, and rare in a thousand years!
Looking at the immortal's expression, he seemed very excited, but... isn't this normal?
As a chosen one, is it wrong to have extremely high talent?
But as soon as I joined the sect, a second Sword Child appeared!
What is going on?
Didn't that immortal say that Sword Child is rare in a thousand years? How can there be two!
Even if there are two, why is there one existence more monstrous than the Sword Child!
Is this the world of cultivation?
Even if you have high talent, you will still encounter someone with higher talent than yourself. There will always be someone above you, this feeling is really...
Great!
I've been tired of seeing people bow down to me since I was a child!
I want to see stronger people appear, and then... defeat them! Crush them! Only then can my uniqueness be highlighted!
As a chosen one, why fear challenges?
I must work harder!
My father gave me a lot of spirit stones before he left to nurture me. Since that's the case, I'll go to the secluded cultivation room first and improve my strength!
After eleven days of secluded cultivation, I finally broke through to the second level of Qi Refining. However, most of the spirit stones were used up. Who knew that as soon as I went out, I saw an outer disciple.
Gambling?
For a chosen one, isn't this just giving away money!
Luo Yang looked at Senior Brother Xiao in front of him, his eyes like he was looking at a god of wealth: "How do we gamble?"
"Simple!"
Senior Brother Xiao opened the cloth bag in his hand, revealing a thousand spirit stones inside: "Here are a thousand spirit stones. I will find someone at the sixth level of Qi Refining to fight you. If you win..."
Hey, why are you leaving!
Luo Yang turned his head and looked at the other person as if he were an idiot: "I am only at the second level of Qi Refining, and you want me to fight someone at the sixth level of Qi Refining?
I'm not stupid."
Second level of Qi Refining?
Senior Brother Xiao was stunned. This person is not Yun Ze, but Luo Yang?
But it's the same!
Let's deal with him first!
He quickly recovered and quickly changed his words: "Hey, I haven't finished speaking! Up to ten people can challenge. You can find nine more people. As long as they are new disciples of this batch, they can participate!
But no matter how many people, I will only offer a thousand spirit stones. Do you dare to gamble?"
Up to ten people?
Luo Yang's mind immediately flashed with the figures of those two.
If they were added together, a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator could be taken down!
Although he would eventually crush them under his feet, a temporary cooperation didn't seem impossible.
Just as Luo Yang was considering, three figures walked out of the secluded cultivation room again.
Yun Ze, Wei Lanshu, and a sullen old woman following behind them.
A hint of joy flashed in Luo Yang's eyes, while Senior Brother Xiao frowned.
Why are these two together?
When they first entered the sect, didn't Yun Ze sneak attack this one? Why are they coming out of the secluded cultivation room together now?
No!
If that legendary figure makes a move, let alone keep the spirit stones, I might not even be able to keep my life!
Let's observe first!
Senior Brother Xiao was about to retreat, but unexpectedly, the young man in front of him directly grabbed his arm and shouted towards the two:
"Brother Yun! Fellow Daoist Wei! Come quickly!"
"You... what are you doing! Let go!"
Senior Brother Xiao panicked. He wanted to shake off Luo Yang, but he didn't dare to use his spiritual power.
He is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the other party is only at the second level. If he accidentally injures this Sword Child, he will provoke the Punishment Hall!
Those guys will suck you dry, and it won't be solved by a thousand spirit stones!
"Hey, Senior Brother, didn't you say it's fine as long as it's not more than ten people?"
Luo Yang retorted with a look of innocence: "Even if we add ourselves together, it's only three people."
Are you three people?
It's clearly two little lambs leading a big dragon!
"Don't worry about it, we're not gambling anymore!" Senior Brother Xiao just wanted to escape the scene.
"Hey!"
Luo Yang held on tightly: "What's wrong with you, I was about to agree to the bet you proposed, why are you running away now?"
"I..."
Senior Brother Xiao uttered only one word before closing his mouth.
The man and the woman had already walked over and were standing in front of the two.
It's not easy to escape now. If he escapes, Senior Brother Chen's plan will be difficult to continue, so he can only brace himself and make something up!
"Luo Yang?"
Yun Ze looked at Senior Brother Xiao with some surprise: "Who is this..."
"He's setting up a gambling stall."
Luo Yang quickly explained Senior Brother Xiao's bet. Both Yun Ze and Wei Lanshu's eyes lit up!
Especially Yun Ze.
He leaned forward and asked Senior Brother Xiao with excitement: "Senior Brother Xiao, it's possible to participate alone, right?"
Sixth level of Qi Refining is nothing!
With my current Qi Sea capacity, plus that sword energy, I can easily fight across realms!
Why not take this free spirit stone? Why share it with others?
Wei Lanshu next to him also nodded repeatedly, waiting for Senior Brother Xiao's reply.
Seeing this, Luo Yang tilted his head and suddenly couldn't speak. He could only turn to Senior Brother Xiao and say: "Do we need at least two people?
If so, can I gamble twice?"
"This..."
Senior Brother Xiao paused.
What is going on?
Are the new disciples so bold now? They want to challenge alone?
However, since this is the case, why not go with the flow!
"Cough cough, of course you can participate alone."
Senior Brother Xiao coughed twice and introduced the bet in detail, especially explaining that if they lost, they would not have to pay spirit stones, but only swallow a silence pill and be unable to speak for a month.
"Then I'll go first..."
Before Yun Ze could finish speaking, Wei Lanshu behind him stepped forward, raised her hand to stop him, and signaled with her eyes for her to go first.
"You first?"
Yun Ze wanted to confirm first.
Wei Lanshu nodded.
"Alright."
Yun Ze took a step back and stood behind Wei Lanshu.
It would be good for her to test the waters first.
"Hey! Don't rush!"
Luo Yang saw this and became anxious, and quickly said: "Two fellow daoists, I have a way to earn more spirit stones!"
As soon as he said this, Yun Ze and Wei Lanshu both turned to look at Luo Yang.
Luo Yang then let go of Senior Brother Xiao's hand and asked him: "Senior Brother, if it's one-on-one, it counts as one bet. Then do two-on-one and three-on-one count as new bets? Can I participate multiple times?"
"Hmm?"
Senior Brother Xiao instinctively wanted to refuse.
After all, he knew the strength of that legendary figure. If it only counted as one bet, it would only cost a thousand spirit stones at most to complete this plan. But if it included two-on-one and three-on-one, it would cost at least three thousand spirit stones!
Even Senior Brother Chen might not be able to afford it.
"Of course not..."
Before Senior Brother Xiao could finish speaking, Luo Yang took a step forward, leaned close to his ear, and said in a voice only they could hear: "Senior Brother Xiao, if you refuse, I have a way to prevent Brother Yun from participating in this bet. Then... it will be difficult for you to report back, right?"
Senior Brother Xiao's pupils trembled!
"You!"
"Don't ask me how I know."
Luo Yang continued: "I come from the royal family, so I naturally know who you are targeting.
Of course, I can ignore all of this, but the premise is that you must agree to my plan.
Otherwise, don't blame me for telling Brother Yun directly!"
"...Okay! We can do as you say!"
Senior Brother Xiao frowned and had to agree, but the next moment he pointed at Wei Lanshu: "But she cannot participate!"
Wei Lanshu tilted her head, clearly not understanding why.
"Junior Sister Wei, we have long heard of your legend."
Senior Brother Xiao simply relented: "With your strength, let alone the sixth level of Qi Refining, even a Foundation Establishment stage senior brother would be defeated. I really dare not accept your bet."
He wasn't so generous as to give away three thousand spirit stones!
Wei Lanshu frowned and remained silent, looking at Yun Ze, her face full of unhappiness.
"Hey, look, I can't help it, they won't accept it."
Yun Ze spread his hands helplessly.
Heaven knows what this young lady is thinking. A noble lady from a prominent family, why is she still greedy for such small favors?
Isn't it just a thousand spirit stones?
"Senior Brother!"
Luo Yang spoke again, blocking Yun Ze and saying to Senior Brother Xiao: "If you don't let Fellow Daoist Wei participate, then none of us will participate!"
With one less person, it means two fewer matches, and that's a loss of spirit stones!
"Then there's no need to fight!"
Senior Brother Xiao said and was about to walk away.
His capital was only two thousand spirit stones, and he couldn't afford to lose!
After losing these two thousand spirit stones, the second match might not even start, and the plan would be ruined.
It's better to retreat now and find Yun Ze when he's alone.
Judging by this guy's attitude just now, he seemed very eager to challenge alone.
Then he could make a plan!
But as soon as he took a step, a voice sounded from the depths of the forest.
"Yo, isn't that Old Xiao?"
Yun Ze frowned upon hearing this voice and looked in the direction of the sound. At a glance, he saw that familiar figure.
Chen Xiao!
Why is he here?
"Senior Brother Chen."
Senior Brother Xiao cupped his hands and bowed to Chen Xiao: "What wind brought you here? Have you made another breakthrough in your cultivation?"
"Not at all, not at all. I was just worried that my little neighbor had disappeared for so many days and something might have happened, so I came to look for him."
Chen Xiao looked at Yun Ze with a kind smile: "Little Yun, where have you been these past few days?"
"Senior Brother Chen."
Yun Ze cupped his hands, also with a smile on his face: "I had a feeling recently and went into seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough. However, it's a pity that my cultivation did not improve, but rather regressed significantly.
Now I have fallen to the early stage of the third level of Qi Refining."
"Nonsense!"
Chen Xiao walked over slowly and said jokingly: "You clearly ate the Qi Casting Pill to expand your Qi Sea. What level is your Qi Sea at now?"
Yun Ze did not answer, but just smiled.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao stopped asking and turned to Senior Brother Xiao: "Old Xiao, what are you looking for my junior brother for?"
Senior Brother Xiao was stunned and quickly explained the whole story.
"So that's how it is."
Chen Xiao nodded and looked at the three of them: "You want to fight together as three, right?"
"Yes!"
Luo Yang didn't know the details and thought Chen Xiao was here to support him, so he immediately said: "Otherwise, we won't gamble!"
Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed: "Fighting together as three is also possible, but..."
"But what?" Luo Yang pressed.
"Do you dare to bet against me?"
