Chapter 924 Rare Treasures
His biggest reliance, the Thunder Yuan Pearl, met its nemesis.
If the Thunder Yuan Pearl could not work, with his current real strength, he would be slightly inferior to the cultivators in the late stage of fusion. In the subsequent competitions, his opponents would become stronger and stronger, and it would be a luxury to be in the top five.
Lin Mu tried his best to calm himself down and not panic, but his heartbeat accelerated a lot.
If there was no bet, he would lose in the subsequent competitions.
Even if he lost all the games, he had already achieved his initial goal. His current record had ensured that he could be in the top ten and had the qualifications to choose his own mines.
But he himself could not resist the temptation of the spirit stone. At Gu Zhenhao's suggestion, he immediately agreed to the bet, and in order to make the cultivators bet as high as possible, he set the odds at a hundred times!
This was tantamount to digging a big hole for himself, not pitting others, but pitting himself.
The opponents at the end of the top ten all have nearly transparent beads that can restrain him. The cultivators at the top have stronger strength and background. It is very likely that they can borrow this treasure from this opponent and use it specifically to deal with him.
If the Thunder Yuan Pearl cannot work, he will almost certainly lose when he encounters the top masters!
Not to mention being in the top five, the final result is probably the bottom of the top ten.
When thinking of this consequence, Lin Mu could no longer remain calm.
Without any joy after winning, he hurriedly flew to Gu Zhenhao.
"How many spirit stones did you collect today?" Lin Mu came to Gu Zhenhao and asked immediately.
"More than 3 billion spirit stones." Gu Zhenhao smiled and transmitted, "This is just the beginning. They will definitely bet more later. After the whole competition, it is expected to earn hundreds of billions of spirit stones! Even far more than this number!"
Lin Mu heard this, not only did he not feel any joy, but his face became more solemn.
This is just the beginning, and he has received more than 3 billion spirit stones. If he loses and fails to make the top five, he will have to pay more than 300 billion spirit stones with a 100-fold odds!
This is simply killing him!
For this mere 3 billion spirit stones, he lost more than 300 billion. If he adds up all his assets, he may be able to collect so many spirit stones, but he will definitely become penniless.
The ten mineral veins this time, combined, will hardly have 300 billion spirit stones in a hundred years.
Too cruel.
One misstep, almost falling into the abyss.
Lin Mu's heart was in a fierce struggle.
Should this bet be stopped immediately?
If it was stopped now, if he lost, he could still barely afford to pay more than 300 billion spirit stones.
Just thinking about it, Lin Mu felt extremely unwilling.
Because of these 3 billion spirit stones, he almost lost everything.
This mining conference, including the thousands of hard work and boundless loneliness in making the jade slips, was all in vain.
Everything has to start from scratch.
Such a thing must never happen!
He has no way out.
In the following competitions, he can only win, no matter what, he must be in the top five!
Otherwise, there is no difference between losing 300 billion and losing 600 billion, both are falling into the abyss, and it is difficult to turn over.
There is only one way to go now.
Give it a try!
In the following competitions, every game is regarded as the most important battle, and no relaxation is allowed.
This bet will continue.
As long as he can win, he can still earn tens of billions of spirit stones.
Perhaps the situation will become more and more difficult in the future, and the number of cultivators participating in the bet will increase sharply, and the stakes will become larger and larger. It is possible to earn hundreds of billions of spirit stones.
If you win, you will have a flourishing future, and a bright future. If you lose, you will fall into the abyss and the darkness is endless.
There are two completely different worlds and two extremes between winning and losing.
Lin Mu has no other way to go, he can only win!
But when he thought of the almost transparent bead, his mood became heavy again.
Sitting and waiting for death is not his character.
Knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Lin Mu decided to learn about the origin and function of this bead first.
Although it can restrain the Thunder Yuan Pearl, he still won with the Thunder Yuan Pearl just now.
It can be seen that having this bead does not mean that the opponent will be able to suppress him.
If he can find the weakness of this bead, he will be more targeted next, and his chances of winning will be greatly increased.
Although he is not inferior to the late stage of fusion in terms of strength, he is not inferior to the fusion cultivator in terms of knowledge due to his limited lifespan.
Fortunately, Gu Zhenhao's cultivation is close to the middle stage of fusion, and he is knowledgeable, so Lin Mu hurriedly asked him for advice.
The two did not delay here and immediately returned to Yuelai Inn.
"Today, when I was detonating the Thunder Yuan Pearl, the other party suddenly sacrificed a nearly transparent bead, and the chaotic spiritual energy of heaven and earth was quickly restored to its original state." On the way back, Lin Mu took the initiative to ask, "What kind of treasure is this? It's so magical?"
"There is such a thing?" Gu Zhenhao was also surprised.
The bead was almost transparent. In the flashing lightning, few cultivators in the audience noticed it. He was busy collecting storage bags and naturally had no time to take care of it.
But it was obvious that Lin Mu had few means to deal with this opponent, and could only rely on the Thunder Yuan Pearl to gain an advantage.
This time, he detonated a wave of Thunder Yuan Pearls at the beginning, but was resolved by the opponent.
Then he detonated a large number of Thunder Yuan Pearls, which was a sharp victory.
It was precisely for this reason that many cultivators thought that Lin Mu had run out of ideas and no longer had any powerful trump cards and means. After all, the number of Thunder Yuan Pearls was limited. The opponents in the later competitions became stronger and stronger. Lin Mu could only lose one game at most. This possibility was too small and almost impossible.
After all, the strength gap between the top cultivators was not large. They were all extremely powerful and difficult to match.
With a hundred times odds, everyone wanted to take a gamble.
Gu Zhenhao fell into deep thought, and the two of them were silent all the way.
It was not until he returned to Yuelai Inn that Gu Zhenhao suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I remembered that the nearly transparent beads you mentioned should be Dingluanzhu!"
"Dingluanzhu?" Lin Mu shook his head with doubts on his face. He had never mentioned such a treasure.
"In fact, if you think about it, you will understand." Gu Zhenhao explained, "The most proud and greatest reliance of the fusion stage cultivators is the ability to mobilize the power of heaven and earth. At certain special times or places, someone will deliberately disrupt the power of heaven and earth, so that they cannot exert their true strength. There are treasures in the world, and one thing can defeat another. Naturally, there are some rare treasures that can restore the power of heaven and earth to peace."
"Is Dingluanzhu effective?" Lin Mu seemed to understand.
On the battle stage, in the ancient ban, the fusion stage cultivators were restricted from mobilizing the power of heaven and earth. However, as both were fusion stage cultivators, it was fair to both sides and could reduce the destructive power, so as not to defeat the battle stage or hurt the onlookers.
Lin Mu knew very well that his appearance was equivalent to breaking this balance.
This kind of thing happened very rarely before, but it is impossible that it has never happened.
It didn't happen on the battle stage, but it might happen in other special places.
It is reasonable that some cultivators find or refine treasures that can restore and stabilize the power of heaven and earth.
"I think the speed of this Dingluan Pearl to restore the power of heaven and earth is not fast." Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as I act fast enough, the opponent will still not be able to react in time."
"It's hard to say." Gu Zhenhao suddenly frowned and said, "Dingluan Pearls also have different grades. The nearly transparent Dingluan Pearl you mentioned is obviously the most ordinary. The truly powerful Dingluan Pearls are completely transparent. Some of the top Dingluan Pearls are so invisible that you can't even see them. It's difficult to detect their location with your spiritual sense. In an instant, they can restore the power of the surrounding heaven and earth to its original state."
In an instant, it was restored to its original state.
Lin Mu's face suddenly became ugly.
This time he really met his nemesis!
