Chapter 19 It seems that the only ability is to increase the money

After memorizing the map of the martial arts tournament venue, the two returned to Yuanbao Sect's stall.

"Oh, all of them are 1 to 2, Mr. Meng, the odds you set are really bad!"

The odds offered by Yuanbao Sect are to bet on who will get which treasure, and the probability of this is much lower than simply betting on the ranking.

"It's only 25 to 1 if you collect all ten treasures. When did you become so stingy?" Lin Xiao lost interest as soon as he saw the odds listed by Yuanbao Sect.

"There's nothing we can do. Money can attract people's attention! If we dare to offer a 1:250 compensation, what if you guys put your faces in your pockets and join forces to do something big? Even if we add the underwear of our sect leader, it won't be enough to compensate!"

In the entire Chongming world, the only people who would make fun of their own leader are weirdos like Yuanbao Sect.

The main reason is that the upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked. It is said... just said, the leader of Yuanbao Sect has a fierce Zhang Fei-like appearance, but his personality is extremely strange. Sometimes he is generous and sometimes he is extremely stingy, just like a schizophrenic patient. When he is "extremely stingy", he will even classify the money that he has given away as loans, and go to the door to collect the debts one by one. It is not enough to just pay back the principal, but also add an interest that is comparable to usury.

After his personality changes, he will feel extremely regretful and go to everyone's house to apologize. He will also return the money that has been recovered, and he will not refuse to accept it. This will go on and on like this, and no one can stand it.

Such extreme sides led outsiders to speculate that it was a defect in Yuanbao Sect's martial arts or inherited martial arts. This man, who was known as the strongest since the founding of Yuanbao Sect, also had the most serious character flaws. This man also played a decisive role in Yuanbao Sect's ability to withstand the pressure from Ruyi Sect.

"You guys really think that the face you bring to our house is too worthless!"

"As businessmen, any risks must be taken into consideration. Otherwise, you may be prosperous today, but your entire sect may have to sleep on the street tomorrow." Meng Laocai said casually. As businessmen, they often seem out of tune with these pure warriors, and as warriors, they also seem very different among businessmen.

"Wouldn't you two like to play a little trick?"

"Who is the most popular one right now?" Jiang Yi was also very curious. The situation in the martial arts conference changes rapidly, and the betting situation should not be taken seriously. Maybe it is a smokescreen deliberately released, so just listen to it as gossip.

"Of course it's Tang Ling from Honghu Peak of Wuhen Sect. In order to support the crown prince of Baoshu Dynasty, he was very high-profile. He bet heavily on himself with three treasures, and the disciples of Baoshu Dynasty and Wuhen Sect followed suit."

"Three items? Humph, I thought he was going to buy them all!" Lin Xiao chuckled.

"Bag it all? Brother Lin, you're joking. A person who can crush his peers like this hasn't appeared in Chongming Realm for hundreds of years. Besides, the reputation of Jueshui Lu family can't attract such a person." As he said that, Meng Laocai took out the betting table recorded on cloth, and there were names written under the ten treasures.

The reputation of the Jueshui Lu family is indeed not enough to make those chosen ones condescend to it. For example, the strongest Lin Xiao of the Mengshen Sect is only the second seat in the Jingtao Hall. In the entire sect, he is not even good enough!

"Why are there so many of you here?" Lin Xiao took a quick look and immediately found something wrong. The betting list was densely packed with hundreds of people, and the faction they belonged to was marked behind each name.

Too much!
You have to know that those who appear here are all first-class strongmen. Even if there are many duplicates, there are more than a hundred. With the influence of the Lu family, in addition to the Dream God Sect, only the forces of the three states around Jueshui City will come to celebrate the birthday of Lu Patriarch. Normally, the visitors like the Three Saints Sect and the Wuhen Sect will be led by a deputy hall master like the Dream God Sect, plus three or four first-class disciples of the younger generation. The face of the Lu family is only worth this much!

Just this betting table alone says a lot!

The younger generation didn't know about this, so it made no sense that Deputy Hall Lan didn't know either! Didn't the Lu family explain this to the Dream God Sect in advance? Impossible. As the biggest backer of the Lu family and the last resort, they would avoid even the slightest hidden danger that might cause the Dream God Sect to misunderstand them.

In other words, the top leaders of the Mengshen Sect knew about Lu's plan, but due to various reasons they were unable to resolve Lu's current predicament. They were probably here more to serve as witnesses.

But the embarrassing thing is that they are few in number, and it is easy to attract siege from other forces at the martial arts conference, which makes it even more difficult for Jiang Yi to take the red gold orb. "Since we are close, there is nothing to do, so we can just take it as a chance to see the world."

Even a retard wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense!
"Forget it. No matter how big the fuss gets, it has nothing to do with me." Lin Xiao glanced at Meng Laocai and did not continue to hold on to this issue. Since Deputy Hall Lan did not explain to them, it meant that they did not need to know.

At this point, I think the sect will not force them to fight for glory in this martial arts conference. It's impossible.

Lin Xiao took out a blood-red ore as big as an adult man's fist from the storage bag hanging on his waist, threw it on the table, and pointed at the magic sword among the ten treasures as a bet. No matter what, he would rather lose the battle than the person.

"The price is fifty thousand!"

This is a top-grade blood stone. Meng Laocai gave a price after careful identification. This thing is considered a high-level currency in the world of warriors. It is formed by the flesh and blood of powerful beings that have fallen over countless years. Although it cannot be considered a non-renewable resource, it is not far off.

The formula of the Blood Qi Pill was improved and optimized step by step, and it kept getting closer to the effect of the Blood Qi Stone. It eventually became the hard currency of the warrior class. After all, this kind of thing that can temper the body and strengthen the blood and qi is needed by all warriors, and the amount is very large. For example, when a second-grade warrior regenerates a broken limb, each time his own blood and qi are seriously depleted, and even the root is injured, it is not an exaggeration to lie down for half a year. The Blood Qi Pill or Blood Qi Stone can directly make up for this deficit.

In fact, most of the injuries of warriors can be solved in this way. Although it is not the right treatment, as long as the warrior has strong qi and blood, the powerful self-recovery ability alone is enough to ignore many problems.

The higher the quality, the better the effect. The difference is that pills are better standardized, while the size and shape of the blood stone after being mined cannot be guaranteed.

"Of course I support my brother!" Jiang Yi took out a pill bottle and took out ten top-level blood qi pills from it, which was exactly equivalent to 50,000 ordinary ones.

As for betting on yourself?
Knowing that he would be besieged, he still exposed himself in advance. Isn't that stupid? After all, the realm he announced to the public was the second level. As long as he didn't bet on himself at this time, no one would be on guard against him in the battle for the ten treasures at the martial arts conference, which would give him a better chance of success.

"Junior brother, you won't be my escort?" The two walked out of the Bafang Building. Lin Xiao glanced at Young Master Jiang beside him. Compared with this unknown strength, his behavior seemed so incompatible with that of a warrior.

Warriors use their will to control the laws, so they all have a kind of self-centered mentality. Don't be fooled by his calm and nonchalant appearance, and never try to steal the limelight from others, but this is only his external appearance, while Young Master Jiang is more internal.

"Senior Brother Lin, if there is a chance, I hope you can help me. I will prepare a thank you gift afterwards. If it is you who gets the red gold pearl, I am willing to buy it at twice the price." Jiang Yi did not explain, but went straight to the truth.

He is determined to get the red gold orb. If he can't get it by force, he will use krypton gold to get it!

Even if he doesn't have enough gold in his purse, it's easy. He can just let Lu pay the bill and ask Lao Jiang to pay it back when he gets back. Although this behavior goes against Lao Jiang's way of educating his children and he will be blamed, he will still help pay the debt. At most, he will give Erwa an equal amount of resources afterwards to ensure that both sides are treated equally. This is the greatest fairness a father can achieve.

"It's just a mission. Since you like this gem so much, I will naturally lend you a helping hand." Participating in the martial arts conference is a mission, and Jiang Yi is also a mission for him. He has no interest in guessing Jiang Yi's thoughts. He went to Jueshui City just as a formality, and then he would be thrown into the battlefield of mountains and seas. He is not the kind of person who wants to control everything.

After separating from Lin Xiao, Jiang Yi contacted Lu Chong and Pei Hongyu again. Neither of them refused. After all, whether the matter would be successful or not was still uncertain. Putting aside the thank-you gift, it was still nice to get a favor for free.

What a pity! If we had known this in advance, it would have been better. It’s already on display now, and it was replaced midway... The Lu family also has some dignity to show for themselves.

However, judging from the fact that the pearl was passed from Liuli Wu Zun to the Lu family, and now that the Lu family is taking it out as a reward for the martial arts competition, even if it is finally obtained by disciples from other forces, it should not be too difficult to buy it back.
