Chapter 353 Call Me the Gambling Saint!
"Ok?"
But when everyone saw Gu Jiancheng enter, their expressions changed slightly.
"What are you doing? Can't you see my senior brother is gambling on stones?"
"Get down quickly!"
The cultivators of Yunshui Minggong were immediately shocked and enraged, and they all cursed.
Today, within this Thousand Star Tower, only Shui Yuntian is allowed to display his brilliance; no one else is permitted to disturb him.
"What? Doesn't Thousand Star Pavilion do business?!"
But Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow and scoffed.
"Of course we're open for business, but sir, the stones here are quite expensive!"
"Moreover, without experience, I'm afraid..."
The steward was taken aback, but before he could finish speaking, Shui Yuntian looked over and sneered, "Let him gamble!"
Now, he actually thinks that having the head of the Supreme Holy Path Palace as his stepping stone is not bad.
"I paid for the stones he bought!"
Shui Yuntian continued to sneer, "However, you want to compete with me!"
"Dare you?"
"No need!" Gu Jiancheng refused outright.
"Hahaha, you don't dare?"
Shui Yuntian was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter with all the aquatic cultivators.
"I'll pay for the stones myself, but if you want to gamble, I'm happy to oblige!"
But the next moment, Gu Jiancheng said arrogantly.
This caused the laughter to suddenly cease.
This Gu Jiancheng actually dares to accept the challenge!?
At this moment, even Song Qingshu and the manager of Qianxinglou couldn't help but look at Gu Jiancheng, their expressions changing drastically.
Competing with Shuiyuntian in jade gambling!?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
This person has just awakened his Spirit Eye, so in this Nine Li City, whose jade gambling skills can rival his?!
"Brother Gu!?"
Song Qingshu was even more anxious.
He had clearly informed Gu Jiancheng beforehand.
If they lose to Shui Yuntian, Gu Jiancheng and the Supreme Saint Dao Palace will become a laughing stock in Jiuli City!
"Don't worry, it's just gambling on stones, my husband won't lose!" Ke Yunshuiyao said with a light laugh.
She had experienced Gu Jiancheng's skill in gambling on stones when she first married him.
Shuiyuntian is the one who is bringing shame upon himself!
"oh!?"
"Heh, you've got some nerve!"
"So, if you lose, you'll voluntarily give up your qualification to compete among the hundred races and get out of Jiuli City. Do you dare?" Shui Yuntian sneered.
Gu Jiancheng actually dared to gamble with me, he's really asking for death!
Upon hearing this, Song Qingshu's heart tightened. If Gu Jiancheng lost because of this, he would be bankrupt!
"Why don't you dare?"
Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow and sneered, "If you lose, you don't need to give up your qualification to compete in the Hundred Races Tournament, but you have to give me ten times the value of the treasures I obtained!"
"Do you dare?"
He doesn't need this guy to get out of Jiuli City.
In Gu Jiancheng's eyes, this person was already doomed. If he didn't enter the Eight Desolate Domain, how could he kill him?
Therefore, it wouldn't be bad to let them lose everything before they even enter the Eight Desolate Domains!
"Hahahaha!"
"Ignorance is bliss!"
“Of course I dare. It’s settled then. Please be the manager and bear witness!” Shui Yuntian said to the manager of Qianxing Tower.
"Of course!"
The manager looked at Gu Jiancheng, shook his head and sighed, and then agreed.
Today, the head of the Supreme Holy Path Palace is likely to lose all face.
It could even jeopardize the chance for all races to compete.
But since both sides have already agreed, there's nothing he can change.
"In that case, let's begin selecting stones. To be fair, each of you may choose three ancient stones."
"Win two out of three!"
After all, these stones are of very high quality; even Shui Yuntian couldn't bet on them every time.
Therefore, dividing it into three parts is the fairest method.
Upon hearing the sound, the two immediately began to move through the rocks.
Gu Jiancheng had already made his selections before entering the venue, and now he simply raised his hand and took the three stones he had chosen into his own hands.
The choice was made in the blink of an eye?
So fast?
But this scene left everyone stunned.
Inside the main hall, many of the people were seasoned veterans of the jade gambling area.
Even so, I have never seen such a gambling on stones before.
Gu Jiancheng clearly doesn't know anything about gambling on stones, which is why he chose one randomly!
Upon seeing this, Song Qingshu's vision went black.
Although Yun Shuiyao and the others showed no sign of worry, he felt that this was simply because the cultivators of the Supreme Saint Palace had no idea how terrifying these ancient stones from beyond the heavens were!
Playing like this, how can you not lose!
But looking at Shui Yuntian, his expression became increasingly solemn.
Even though he had activated his divine eye, his divine sense felt like it was sinking into a quagmire once his gaze penetrated these ancient stones!
Not only could he not truly see everything inside the ancient stone, but his divine sense seemed to be being devoured by a frenzy!
He had never encountered such an ancient stone before!
Therefore, after looking at just a dozen or so items, his spiritual energy was almost completely depleted.
Finally, even suppressing his dizziness, he randomly picked three stones that looked decent and backed out.
"Eldest brother?"
At this moment, the group of aquatic cultivators seemed to notice the strange expression on Shui Yuntian's face and quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Get back!"
But Shui Yuntian glared at everyone, took a deep breath to suppress the dizziness, and stood steadily in front of them.
Even if these stones are really strange, in his opinion, he only needs to gamble on one stone to win!
He had never taken Gu Jiancheng of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace seriously.
If you rely on luck when gambling on jade, you're guaranteed to lose!
"In that case, which of you two will go first?" the manager of Qianxinglou asked with a smile.
"I'll go first, so you can see the difference between you and me!"
Shui Yuntian sneered, then raised his hand and crushed all three of his stones!
hum!
The two ancient stones in front shattered one after another, producing billowing smoke and flying debris, but no treasures appeared.
This caused a slight change in the expressions of the aquatic cultivators.
Is Senior Brother really going to lose this time?
If that's the case, Yunshui Ming Palace will lose all face.
hum!
But at that moment, the third ancient stone exploded, and a dazzling light burst forth from the dust and smoke!
A dazzling light!?
A treasure has been found!
In an instant, exclamations of surprise erupted throughout the hall!
The fact that one out of three stones from Shuiyuntian is a treasure shows that there's a story behind this Spirit Eye Stone Gambling!
The manager of Qianxing Tower quickly looked over and discovered that the light was a deep blue color. A seven-leafed ancient grass swayed in the light, and an ancient charm spread out like ripples.
This item is absolutely extraordinary!
"This seems to be the ancient elixir, the Seven Star Enlightenment Grass!"
Finally, the manager of Thousand Star Tower exclaimed excitedly, "Young Master Yun Tian, this herb has reached the upper-middle grade of the Ascension Realm!"
"Worth 100,000 Saint Crystals!"
One hundred thousand Saint Crystals!?
At this moment, even Shui Yuntian himself was taken aback, and then overjoyed.
This is absolutely the most precious treasure he has ever found in his jade gambling career!
You should know that the cost of three ancient stones is only 50,000 Saint Crystals, so this one ancient herb is equivalent to him making double the profit!
Moreover, he's definitely going to win this bet!
"Kid, it's your turn. You can't possibly not even afford these three ancient stones?"
At this moment, Shui Yuntian looked at Gu Jiancheng and sneered.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Gu Jiancheng.
Ancient grasses have sprouted in the water and clouds, and victory seems to be assured.
If Gu Jiancheng loses the bet, he will be the first tribal leader to leave Jiuli City!
Gu Jiancheng just scoffed, thinking that Shui Yuntian's luck was actually quite good.
But these so-called ancient herbs are actually just things he discarded.
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng raised his hand and took out 50,000 Saint Crystals, throwing them to the steward.
He still has 100,000 Saint Crystals in his pocket, so he can afford to take out 50,000.
"Can I start now?"
Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Of course!"
The manager of Qianxinglou nodded quickly.
Saint Crystals are a unique currency of the Outer Heavens, and even the wealth of the Saint Dao Palace is definitely not much.
But to my surprise, Gu Jiancheng was actually able to produce so many Saint Crystals.
What's frightening is that these 50,000 Saint Crystals represent the entire fortune of the Supreme Saint Dao Palace.
Losing money like this can only be considered a lesson learned.
"Heh heh, I'll just watch you cry for a bit!"
Shui Yuntian sneered.
Even now, Gu Jiancheng is still pretending?
Song Qingshu's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of his chest.
Gu Jiancheng simply raised his hand and shattered the first stone.
boom!
But even though stones flew everywhere and dust billowed, not a single glimmer of precious light emerged from it.
Just as Shui Yuntian had guessed, the stone was completely empty!
Gee!
Suddenly, a commotion arose inside the hall.
Sure enough, this scene was exactly what everyone had expected.
The head of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace was visiting Jiuli City for the first time and had no idea how deep the waters of jade gambling were!
"Hahaha!"
"You mere Saint King Palace Chief dares to gamble with me!"
"I advise you to get out of Jiuli City as soon as possible!"
Shui Yuntian seized the opportunity to mock him.
But Gu Jiancheng remained unmoved, and with a wave of his hand, the second ancient stone shattered!
hum!
But this time, a dazzling, ancient golden light suddenly burst forth from the ancient stone!
The ancient, overwhelming pressure swept across all directions like a giant tidal wave!
For a moment, all the cultivators in the hall were so alarmed that they all retreated.
This oppressive force was so overwhelming that even cultivators at the Immortal Ascension Realm couldn't withstand it!
The manager of the Thousand Star Tower hurriedly raised his hand to suppress the impact and stared intently ahead, but the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted!
"No, this is impossible! You... you actually obtained a mid-grade magic weapon!?"
At this very moment, what appeared on the shattered ancient stone was a small, simple folding umbrella!
The ancient umbrella exuded a desolate and ancient aura, and its grade had definitely reached the fourth level of the Immortal Ascension Realm!
The value of this treasure is immeasurable; it could even be auctioned at the Thousand Star Tower.
But no matter what, its value is definitely above that of the ancient grass that blooms in the Water Cloud Heaven!
In other words, Gu Jiancheng doesn't even need to open the third stone to declare victory!
In an instant, everyone's astonished gazes once again focused on Shui Yuntian.
"No, how is this possible!?"
At this moment, Shui Yuntian was completely dumbfounded.
As the strongest junior of the aquatic race, and even after awakening his Spirit Eye, he still lost to the Palace Master of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace!?
