Chapter 2423 Gambling

"Why is this witch here too?" Zhang Ruochen said to himself.

The figure disguised as a man, wearing a blue layman's cloth and holding a string of rosary beads, did not look particularly outstanding and did not attract the attention of many monks.

Although she used the secret technique of transformation and deliberately restrained the demonic energy on her body, Zhang Ruochen was still aware of the unique aura of death that was emitted invisibly.

This woman is none other than Gu Shejing from Luozu Yunshan Realm.

Zhang Ruochen met her once at the engagement party. She was one of Luo's close friends, and her cultivation was unfathomable.

Zhang Ruochen just stared at her for a moment, but she noticed it, cast her gaze over, and looked at Zhang Ruochen for a moment. Zhang Ruochen immediately looked away, pretending that he had just seen her accidentally.

Gu Shejing fiddled with her rosary beads with her five jade fingers on her sleeves. A look of confusion flashed through her enchanting eyes. She didn't take another look at "Blood Cry" and walked straight into the depths of the Goddess Tower.

"The Goddess Tower tonight is really unusually lively."

Zhang Ruochen said to Xue Tu, "Go and investigate and see what's going on in the Goddess Building?"

After separating from Xue Tu, Zhang Ruochen walked through the Jie Yin Hall alone and walked toward the extremely luxurious palaces.

Han Yunge could tell that he was Zhang Ruochen based on the fact that Xuewei was not in the Destiny Realm, and other well-informed powerful monks could naturally guess it too.

You must change your identity.

"Click."

After walking through a place with darker lighting, Zhang Ruochen's body swayed and instantly changed into a different look.

He is tall and thin, with slender arms. He is not handsome, but he still has an attractive heroic spirit.

The Goddess Tower has nine palace groups, each with dozens of palaces, arranged with cloud towers, moon boats, and flower platforms. After passing through the Jieyin Hall and walking along a water stone road, the front becomes more lively and the lights are brighter and brighter.

There is the largest group of palaces in the entire Goddess Tower, called "Yushan Palace".

Yushan Palace is built on an island made of sacred bones. The main body is the shell of a supreme holy camel turtle, which rises more than 800 meters high. Palaces with strange shapes are built around the mountain, with sacred fire sky lanterns hung on the eaves of the palaces.

The group of palaces in Yushan Palace is the main body of the Goddess Tower, including the gambling city, the martial arts platform, the wine pool and the meat forest... It has everything you need. More than 90% of the monks can only stay here.

The other eight temple complexes each have their own characteristics and charge extremely high fees. Not ordinary monks can go there.

Fengwei Wan is located in another palace group, "Yiyuan Palace", very close to Yushan Palace and connected by a water stone road.

Zhang Ruochen did not go to Fengtiao Palace immediately, but wandered around Yushan Palace, secretly observing which other strong men were coming, while waiting for news of the bloody massacre.

Passing by a three-foot-tall black ice jade platform, I saw twelve graceful and stunning girls dancing on the platform.

Some of them are fox girls, sexy and charming, with swaying tails; some are dragon girls, with double horns on their heads and a cold temperament; some are elves with pointed ears, smart and beautiful.

They were obviously carefully trained and danced beautifully, which even Zhang Ruochen found pleasing to the eye.

The other monks from the hell realm did not have the demeanor of the powerful men in the holy realm. They shouted and threw holy stones or holy pills on the stage from time to time.

A great sage from the corpse tribe climbed directly onto the Xuanbing Jade Platform, held a fox girl in one hand, and headed straight for a bustling palace, making countless monks in the hell world envious.

In the Goddess Tower, only the Great Sage dares to do this.

It is a special treatment from the Great Sage.

Zhang Ruochen went to Jiuchi Roulin again and tasted a fine wine called "Wangxin". It was indeed a good wine, comparable to the wine made by a wine madman.

The martial arts platform is built on the top of Yushan Palace and can be seen at a glance no matter where you stand in the Goddess Tower.

At this moment, on the fighting stage, two great saints of the Immortal Realm were fighting fiercely.

One is from the Hades and the other is from the Dead.

The two seemed to have a big grudge, and they fought fiercely. In the end, the great saint of the underworld was superior in skill and cut off the head of the great saint of the dead, which attracted the cheers of countless monks.

Passing by a castle-like building, Zhang Ruochen sensed Yan Zhexian's aura and suddenly stopped and looked up.

The castle is built of black stone, five stories high and large in scale. The top of the gate has three words stacked with bones, "Gambling City".

"What does Gambling City mean?" Zhang Ruochen said to himself.

Next to him, a nine-step holy king wearing chainmail with a human body and a gluttonous head said, "You don't know about Gambling City. Is this your first time coming to the Goddess Tower?"

"It's really the first time that you got me right."

Zhang Ruochen stepped forward and walked into the castle.

After stepping through the door, the lights inside were much dimmed, but the noise was louder and more noisy.

"This is definitely an ancient weapon comparable to a king's holy weapon. I will give you 90 million holy stones."

"This ring contains a strong aura of the Great Sage, and its value is definitely not low."

"I will give you three million holy stones."

…

In the hall on the first floor of the castle, there are ten gambling tables.

On each gambling table, there is a vessel wrapped by a layer of light.

Around the gambling table, there were a large number of crazy monks, judging the value of the utensils and placing bets.

The cultivation level of these monks is generally not high, and it is difficult to see the Holy King.

The Taotie Nine-Step Saint King walked up to Zhang Ruochen, glanced at the ten utensils in the mask, shook his head and said, "The first level is just a low-end game, and you can't see any good things. The things above are the real value."

They walked towards the second floor.

Zhang Ruochen asked, "Is this a place for selling utensils or a place for gambling?"

"All of them!"

The Taotie Tou Nine-step Holy King said, "The Goddess Tower can not only sell the utensils, but also extract money from the gambling. It can be said to be a profit on both ends."

The second floor has arrived!

On this level, almost all of them are monks in the Holy King Realm. However, the realm is low and it is difficult to see the figure of the Nine-step Holy King.

Arriving on the third floor, the Taotiou Jiubu Holy King arrived at his destination and walked towards the hall.

There are only six gambling tables in the hall. Almost all the monks gambling here are high-level holy kings, and there are even great saints.

The Taotiou Jiubu Holy King came to the bottom of the No. 1 gambling table. His eyes widened and he carefully observed a rusty war hammer on the table. His breathing became rapid.

Instantly enter the state of gambler.

Zhang Ruochen glanced at the war hammer and saw that although the war hammer was rusty, wisps of black brilliance were escaping from the cracks in the rust, and the tyrannical aura of the great sage escaped through the light shield.

The aura of the Great Sage was so tyrannical that it reached the level of Qian Wen Realm.

"It's actually a great holy artifact. It really contains something good."

He quietly released his mental power and wanted to explore the war hammer.

When the mental power comes into contact with the light mask, the light mask immediately bursts out with dazzling brilliance, and thunder and lightning appear.

"Where do these ignorant people come from to use mental power to investigate?"

"It's bad luck, you bet, I won't bet here anymore!"

"Cang Jie, the person you brought?"

…

The monks below the gambling table let out a series of curses and glared at Zhang Ruochen angrily.

Gamblers are very irritable when they gamble.

The Taotie-headed Nine-step Holy King named "Cang Jie" quickly apologized to them and said, "This is my friend's first time coming to the Goddess Tower. He doesn't understand the rules here. Please forgive me and don't share the same experience with him."

After being appeased for a while, everyone's anger calmed down.

However, a few monks chose to leave and did not continue gambling here.

Cang Jie sent a message to Zhang Ruochen, "The vessels here are covered with light masks. The monks can only judge their value based on the breath they emit. They cannot use mental power to detect them."

Zhang Ruochen said, "I'm afraid it's difficult to judge this!"

"It's just that it's hard to judge, that's why it's called gambling." Cang Jie said.

Zhang Ruochen thought it was quite novel and asked, "What kind of gambling method?"

Cang Jie said excitedly, "Two or more monks bid on the vessel together. If the final price is lower than the original value of the vessel, then the one with the highest bid will be the winner. Not only will he get the vessel, but he will also get the sacred treasures of all bidders. stone."

"If the final price is higher than the original value of the vessel, then the one with the lowest price becomes the winner and gets the vessel and the holy stones of all bidders."

Zhang Ruochen said, "Winner takes all?"

"That's right! Is it exciting enough?" Cang Jie said with a smile.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "I took a general look from the first floor to the third floor. All the utensils placed on the gambling table are quite special. They seem to be ancient utensils dug out of tombs. I'm afraid It’s the value of these vessels that is not so easy to judge.”

Cang Jie said, "You don't know something. The Goddess Tower and the Hall of the Dead work closely together. The Hall of the Dead travels all over the world and specializes in excavating large tombs. Their main purpose is to find powerful corpses and bones and sell them to the Corpse Clan and Bone Clan at high prices." A big force. However, a lot of ancient artifacts were unearthed by the way, and most of them were sent to the Goddess Tower!"

"Have all the really good things been picked up by the Hall of the Dead first?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Cang Jie shook his head vigorously and said, "The value of the vessels dug out from the tomb is difficult to judge because of their long history. Some of them seem to exude powerful auras, but in fact, they are already rotten inside. Use the Holy Power to activate them, and instantly Turn into dust.”

"Especially the ancient artifacts of divine relics, which are stained with the power of the gods and have divine patterns inside. Even spiritual power cannot detect them. Only after they are sacrificed can the value be judged."

"So, the utensils in these tombs are usually sealed as soon as they are unearthed and sent to the Goddess Tower or other gambling houses, and the monks themselves bet on their value. In this way, the Temple of the Dead and the Goddess Tower are guaranteed to make a profit. deficit."

As long as the vessels have been used by the Great Sage, they are ancient vessels of the Great Sage.

As long as the utensils have been used by the gods, they are ancient artifacts left by the gods.

However, there are grades of utensils, and there are also levels of preciousness. The wine cups and soldiers used by the same great sage may exude the same strong aura of great sage, but the value of the two is not the same.

If you make a mistake in judgment, you will definitely lose everything.

Under the gambling table, there are seven monks who have already placed bets.

Four of them bid 100 million holy stones.

The other three bid respectively for 1.2 billion holy stones, 800 million holy stones, and 2.1 billion holy stones.

Beside the gambling table, a person in charge of the Goddess Palace said, "This vessel exudes a strong aura of the Great Sage, and it is a war hammer. It is probably a soldier of the Great Sage. Are there any monks who want to increase the price?"

Cang Jie laughed loudly, sat down next to the gambling table, and said, "Based on the aura of the Great Sage emanating from this war hammer, it can be determined that its former owner was the Great Sage Qianwenjing. The soldiers of the Great Sage Qianwenjing, at least It should be at the level of a sacred weapon of the Dual King. How can a sacred stone measure its value? In my opinion, it is worth at least eighty sacred stones."

Eighty sacred stones are equivalent to 80 billion sacred stones.

The three monks who had already placed their bets all looked at Cang Jie as if they were idiots.

If it is a war hammer, it must be a warrior of the Great Sage Qianwenjing?

Even if it is a warrior of the Great Sage Qian Wenjing, judging from its rusty appearance, it is most likely a useless weapon.

The value of scrapped utensils varies depending on the degree of scrapping.

It may be worthless, or it may be that some of the weapon refining materials obtained through tempering still have a certain value.

Obviously, the vast majority of monks feel that the war hammer is a useless weapon.

In particular, the four monks who offered 100 million holy stones decided that the war hammer was worthless and wanted to make a big difference with a small amount. If it weren't for this gambling table, the lowest bid was 100 million holy stones, maybe they could come up with a lower price.

If the war hammer is really worthless, the four of them will win and can divide the holy stones produced by the other three monks, and each of them will make a billion holy stones.

For the Nine-step Holy King, one billion holy stones are an extremely huge wealth.

Of course, if the interior of the war hammer is intact and it is a great holy ancient artifact at the level of a binary king's holy artifact, then the winner will be the monk who bids 2.1 billion holy stones.

Not only did he win all the holy stones, but he also got a great holy artifact worth dozens of holy stones, which was a huge profit.

Of course, this probability is extremely low.

With the strength of the Goddess Building, it is still possible to judge the value of a great holy artifact. It is really an intact holy weapon of the dual king. Even if the probability is only 20 to 30%, it will definitely be sent to the fourth floor of the casino. How could it appear here.

This kind of gambling relies half on luck and half on eyesight.

The person in charge of the Goddess Palace stared at Cang Jie, narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "How many holy stones are you prepared to deposit?"

"I'm poor, so just bet 100 million holy stones!"

Cang Jie took out a red crystal card and threw it on the gaming table.

There were boos all around.

The guy who boasted so fiercely just now turned out to be a guy who was planning to take advantage.

The four monks who had previously staked 100 million holy stones all showed displeasure. If one more person bets and wins, each of them will receive less Holy Stones!

The person in charge of the Goddess Palace asked, "Are there any monks placing bets?"

There were many monks watching, but none of them placed any bets.

After all, 100 million holy stones is not a small amount, it is enough to bankrupt some holy kings.

The person in charge of the Goddess Palace stared at the eight monks who had placed bets and said, "Do you still want to increase your bets?"

The monk who bet on 1.2 billion holy stones hesitated slightly, but in the end did not increase the price.

Although he cannot use mental power to detect it, nor can he use holy energy to inject it into the vessel, Zhang Ruochen has a heart of truth, and a mere mask of light cannot block his induction.

Previously, Cang Jie helped him speak and explained to him the doubts about Gambling City. He had a good impression of this person and planned to give him a chance.

So, Zhang Ruochen secretly sent a message and said, "The price will be increased to 2.2 billion holy stones."

Hearing Zhang Ruochen's voice, Cang Jie was surprised and couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

Zhang Ruochen nodded to him.

Of course Cang Jie would not think that Zhang Ruochen was the secret supporter of the other people, but he did not believe in Zhang Ruochen's ability.

Two and two billion holy stones are not a small number.

Does he think that the value of this war hammer is more than 2.2 billion holy stones?

"Brother, are you able to do it? If I lose the 2.2 billion holy stones, I will have nothing, and all my savings of hundreds of years will be gone!" Cang Jie asked via voice transmission.

Zhang Ruochen patted his shoulder with his palm and said, "Trust me."

With this shot, a powerful and unparalleled sage energy poured into Cang Jie's body.

"It turns out...it turns out to be a senior sage..."

Cang Jie has seen the might of the great sages in battle, but those great sages in the Immortal Realm and Hundred Flails Realm are still far behind this brother... no, the senior behind him.

Could it be that the senior is a great sage from the Qianwen Realm?

Cang Jie took a breath of cold air, excited and enthusiastic at the same time, "I, Cang Jie, finally met my own opportunity and was able to get the guidance of Senior Qianwenjing Great Sage. Will I still lose? Maybe I can win today. A big one.”

The person in charge of the Goddess Palace asked for the third time, "If you are determined not to raise any more bets, I will open the mask now to test the value of the war hammer."

"Wait a minute."

Cang Jie stood up and tried hard to control his excitement, but his hands still couldn't help but tremble, and said, "I bet... I bet 2.2 billion holy stones."

Under the gambling table, all the monks were stunned.

Someone laughed, "This stupid glutton is too greedy. Does he think this war hammer is really the intact sacred weapon of the king?"

"A nine-step holy king gambles with 2.2 billion holy stones. I wonder if he will cry after losing the bet."

"What a profit, a big profit! With an extra 2.2 billion holy stones, the four of us can each earn an additional 550 million holy stones."

…

The great sage of the ghost clan, who had bet 2.1 billion holy stones, his face darkened, and he threw two red crystal cards onto the gambling table, increasing the price to 2.3 billion holy stones.

"I have the support of my seniors, so am I afraid of you, a great sage from the ghost clan who is in the immortal realm?"

Cang Jie rolled up his sleeves and threw out eight crystal cards in succession, betting three billion holy stones.

The great sage of the ghost clan was obviously not rich. Although he was filled with anger, he did not continue to bet in the end. He snorted, "Very good, you are courageous, but I don't know if you will be able to get so many holy stones after losing."

"Old senior, just take care of yourself. I am confident that I will win the game." Cang Jie said arrogantly.

"The Taotie clan is too greedy. Just wait and see, he will definitely cry later."

"The number of holy stones in this round has reached 7.7 billion holy stones. It's really a big gamble. I don't know who can win."

…

The person in charge of the Goddess Palace said, "Since there are no monks to continue raising bets, I will turn on the light shield now. Whoever wins and who loses, each will be determined by his destiny."

The person in charge of the Goddess Palace formed a seal with his hands, two lines of blood appeared on his palms, and pressed them against the light mask.

The mask gradually faded and finally dissipated.

In the hall, other onlookers gathered, holding their breath, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

The most nervous person is Cang Jie.

Although the senior behind him has advanced cultivation, who can make a 100% correct judgment without using mental power to detect?

Three billion holy stones. Once he loses the bet, he will not only have to sell off all his properties, but even sell himself to the Goddess Tower as a slave in order to repay it.

But once you win the bet, you can win a lot just from the Holy Stone.

Cang Jie pressed his hands on the gaming table, his eyes were as red as blood, he was biting his sharp teeth, his whole body was trembling, he was excited, nervous, and his blood was boiling.

As soon as the light shield opened, streams of spiritual power surged towards the war hammer.

"Snapped!"

Unable to withstand the impact of chaotic mental power, a gap opened on the surface of the war hammer.

The gaps gradually increased and became as dense as a spider web.

Moreover, the aura of the Great Sage flowing out of those gaps also dissipated into the space, getting thinner and thinner, and seemed to be lost.

Anyone can see that this great holy ancient artifact has long been corroded by the power of time, and all its essence has been drained away. It is probably impossible to refine some rare materials from it.

A piece of junk!

The four monks, who had only deposited 100 million holy stones, were so excited that they burst into laughter.

"I won, haha, I won. Let me do the math. I won at least 1.8 billion holy stones."

"That stupid Taotie is still interesting enough. He produced three billion holy stones."

…

The other monks who placed bets all had grim expressions on their faces, sighed, and walked away from the table.

As if struck by lightning, Cang Jie lost all his strength. His strong and tall body slid to the ground. He only had one thought in his mind: "It's over, it's over!"

He doesn't blame Zhang Ruochen, after all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

After all, he is the one who makes the decision.

I only blame myself for being too greedy. I lost this time and didn’t even have a chance to stand up!

The four monks who bet 100 million holy stones began to collect the crimson crystal cards on the gambling table under the eyes of countless pairs of envy, jealousy, and greed.

One piece represents 100 million holy stones.

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Ruochen took a step forward, tapped the gaming table with his fingers, and said, "Who said you won?"

Several gamblers who had planned to leave all stopped.

Are there any variables?
