Chapter 352 The Gamble Escalates

“I can wager three cultivation techniques against ‘Spatial Shock’, and I’m interested in participating. I’ll bet 100,000 mid-grade spirit crystals.”

Yun Youzi said he was betting 100,000 mid-grade spirit crystals, but the pile on the ground was actually high-grade spirit crystals.

"Oh dear, why did you have to take out high-grade spirit crystals?" Yun Youzi raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat guilty, and then continued, "Since you've already taken out high-grade spirit crystals, then let's bet another 100,000 high-grade spirit crystals."

The air was filled with gasps of astonishment. One hundred thousand mid-grade spirit crystals were beyond their comprehension, yet Yun Youzi actually said he wanted to bet another one hundred thousand high-grade spirit crystals.

Even major sects couldn't produce 100,000 high-grade spirit crystals, yet Yun Youzi casually produced them—it's unbelievable.

"Big brother, my heart aches so much."

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"It hurts so much that I am not Senior Yun's son, it hurts so much that I am not Senior Yun's disciple, it hurts so much that I am not Zheng Qian."

"Brother, how about we team up and recognize Zheng Qian as our father? That way we'll never run out of spirit crystals."

Everyone present looked at Zheng Qian with envy. With such a wealthy master, even someone with mediocre talent could be transformed into an unparalleled expert.

Yun Youzi's operation was not yet finished. With a wave of his hand, two bright and shiny mountains appeared, and the Seven Linked Mountains were filled with spiritual energy.

One city and one mountain are worth 100,000 mid-grade spirit crystals, and one mountain is worth 100,000 high-grade spirit crystals.

Everyone's heart pounded. Their figures were projected onto the two hundred thousand spirit crystals, their expressions varied—greed, madness, envy, and so on—but not a single person dared to snatch them.

Yun Youzi's ability to instantly release 200,000 spirit crystals is a technique beyond their comprehension. And since Yun Youzi dares to offer his money, he has no fear of anyone trying to steal it.

Wu Chengming's lips twitched. Three hundred years ago, they lived in Yun Youzi's shadow, unable to withstand even three moves when they were at the same cultivation level. Yun Youzi's cultivation level has stagnated for three hundred years, and may even have regressed. The money he casually produced was still a wealth that Wu Chengming could never possess.

That's right, Wu Chengming didn't have that much money. It wasn't that he was poor, it was that Yun Youzi was too wealthy.

Even if Wu Chengming wanted to suppress Yun Youzi with his cultivation level, he still couldn't do it. Even if Yun Youzi gave him three hundred years, he wouldn't dare say he could defeat Yun Youzi.

The difference between a prodigy and a genius is obvious.

"Haha, how can a gambling game be complete without me, the Eastern Gambling King?" Another hearty yet aged voice rang out, and an old man reeking of alcohol, with hair like dry straw and a full beard appeared.

"Old beggar, you're still alive?" Wu Chengming perked up instantly. The newcomer was Dongfang Gambling King, a prodigy from the older generation of the Dongfang family and a good friend of his from his youth.

The Eastern Gambling King, true to his name, had almost never lost a gamble in his life. Wu Chengming felt incredibly confident at his arrival.

"Hehe, I'll live another three thousand years and gamble for another three thousand years." The Eastern Gambling King was very proud. There weren't many people of their age left, and it was a miracle that three of them were here today.

“Yun Youzi, I don’t have that many spirit crystals, but I have three 8,000-year-old Kong Baicao. Would you be willing to mortgage your spirit crystals?” Dongfang Gambler took a swig of wine and looked at Yun Youzi with a mocking expression.

Wu Chengming couldn't help but blink. Kong Baicao was a treasure. Although Yun Youzi's money could buy ten 8,000-year-old Kong Baicao, it was extremely rare and hard to find. It was sold out as soon as it appeared.

When one reaches the True Core Realm, a core will be generated in the dantian. After the core, a domain will be generated, and the domain is the foundation for reaching the False God Realm. The False God Realm also relies on the domain to exert combat power.

And Kong Baicao is the sacred medicine for governing the region.

Yun Youzi remained calm. In three hundred years, he had traveled to the ends of the earth. Not to mention the human realm, he had traversed countless places in the demon realm. Kong Baicao was a treasure to Dongfang Duba and Wu Chengming, who only stayed in the Southern Region and the human realm, but it was not a treasure to Yun Youzi.

Seeing Yun Youzi's expression remain unchanged, his face full of smugness and mockery, Dongfang the Gambler was dumbfounded. "Brother, this is Kong Baicao, the Kong Baicao that can heal your injuries! How can you be so calm?"

Wu Chengming's heart skipped a beat. It seemed Yun Youzi didn't care about Kong Baicao at all. If the two of them were to compete in wealth today, Yun Youzi was going to completely crush them.

To everyone's surprise, Yun Youzi didn't care at all and said indifferently, "It's just a little bit of spirit crystals, no big deal. Just calculate it as three spirit crystals."

Dongfang the Gambler chuckled. He and Wu Chengming still had treasures, but they were reluctant to take them out. Since Yun Youzi had said to calculate the price at three per tree, he would use his old face to get a bargain.

"I still have some here..." Yun Youzi wanted to increase the bet, but Dongfang Gambling King hurriedly shook his head.

"Oh dear, it's been centuries since we last met. Let's just have some fun. Win or lose, I'll treat everyone to drinks today." The Eastern Gambler finally realized that he would never gain an advantage over Yun Youzi in his entire life.

Yun Youzi smiled faintly. He didn't care because he trusted Zheng Qian.

Dongfang the Gambler waved to Dongfang Yifeng, and Dongfang Yifeng obediently ran to Dongfang the Gambler and bowed.

"Ancestor."

"Perform well, the patriarch believes in you." Dongfang the Gambler's meaning was very clear: he wanted Dongfang Yifeng to participate in the challenge.

Dongfang Yifeng looked puzzled. He hadn't participated in the challenge because it was a matter between the Nan Ye Ji Sect and the Tian Mai Sect. As the strongest Dragon Shaping Realm figure in the Dongfang Family, he naturally understood the principle of not arbitrarily participating in the struggles of other forces.

Unexpectedly, the gambling tycoon from the East not only took the initiative to participate, but also made him participate as well, which puzzled him greatly.

"Zheng Qian is a man of great fortune. If you defeat him, you will cut off his fortune and elevate your own. This will allow you to go further on your path of cultivation." The voice of Dongfang Gambling King echoed in Dongfang Yifeng's mind. Dongfang Yifeng was the successor chosen by Dongfang Gambling King, which was why he took the initiative to appear and wager three Empty Hundred Herbs on Yun Youzi.

The Eastern Gambler also had another reason for his decision: his cultivation level had been stuck at a bottleneck, unable to break through, due to the immense pressure Yun Youzi had exerted on them in the past. If he could defeat Yun Youzi just once, his mind would be at peace, and perhaps he could break through his current cultivation level.

Dongfang Yifeng looked at Dongfang the Gambler in disbelief; he couldn't see that. However, since the patriarch had said so, he nodded seriously and joined the team challenging Zheng Qian.

"Is there anyone else?" Zheng Qian asked loudly. There were already more than 500 people, and he was still challenging them to a fight.

The Eastern Gambling King knew that defeating the monster would grant him good fortune, and so did Zheng Qian. Although good fortune is an ethereal and intangible thing, it does exist in reality.

Putting everything else aside, defeating a genius in battle brings a sense of peace and makes one more confident, motivating one to work harder on the path of cultivation and break through bottlenecks in one's realm.

"Zheng Qian is too arrogant, I'll join too."

"Yes, since he wants us to participate so much, let's all participate."

Zheng Qian repeatedly challenged them, and the geniuses couldn't resist joining the challenge team one after another.

The Demon Radiance Sect's Dragon Shaping Realm geniuses were wiped out and unable to participate, as were the geniuses from the fifty kingdoms who were brothers with Zheng Qian. The Heavenly Vein Sect also wouldn't participate, because Zheng Qian was their grandmaster; even if they wanted three hundred mid-grade spirit crystals, they wouldn't fight Zheng Qian.

The team of over 500 people quickly grew to over 700, with members from the Demon Radiance Sect, the Fifty Kingdoms, and the Heavenly Vein Sect all participating in the challenge.

"Haha..." Zheng Qian laughed and bowed to the Eastern Gambling King.

"Senior, I'd like to make a bet with you."
