Daoist Tai Hua was really dumbfounded.
'Hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones? '
'Hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones? '
'What kind of concept is that? '
Ten taels of gold were equivalent to one inferior-grade Spirit Stone.
More than a hundred thousand inferior-grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to more than a million taels of gold.
The annual income of a low-grade sect was hundreds of taels of gold.
The annual income of a third-grade sect was about 1,000 taels of gold.
The annual income of a second-grade sect was about 10,000 taels of gold.
The annual income of a first-grade sect was about 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of taels of gold.
In other words, if they were lucky, they could earn the net income of a first-grade sect for a year.
Daoist Tai Hua was dumbfounded.
However, Daoist Tai Hua underestimated one thing. There were many ways for a first-grade sect to earn money, but they couldn't reveal the exact amount of profit.
Those were all Daoist Tai Hua's own conjectures.
However, no matter how much it was, to Daoist Tai Hua, hundreds of thousands of inferior-grade Spirit Stones was an astronomical figure.
He wouldn't be able to spend it all in his lifetime.
He wouldn't be able to spend it all in his lifetime.
"Ahem!" At the thought of this, Daoist Tai Hua couldn't help but cough and look at Shi Liangjin again.
"We cultivators must not be tainted by the stench of money, but I suddenly thought of my eldest disciple who is easy-going and compassionate. He can't stand the suffering of the world and likes to donate taels of silver when he has nothing to do."
"Although this action is in accordance with the laws of the world, money cannot be stolen. These days, I have been worrying about this matter. Tenth shopkeeper, tell me about the overall plan first. When the time comes, I will ask my eldest disciple about it."
"However, Ten Managers, it's not that there weren't such bets in the previous Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet, but most of them have extremely high upper limits. I believe you can earn a few thousand taels of silver, but hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones? Are you fooling me?"
Daoist Tai Hua said with a straight face, but he was very curious.
He knew about the previous Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet. There were bets, but there was usually an upper limit. Even if one was lucky, no one would dare to take over.
Hence, Daoist Tai Hua didn't believe that he could earn hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.
Shi Liangjin was also a shrewd person who didn't care about Daoist Tai Hua's previous attitude towards him. To him, as long as he could earn money, he didn't mind being bullied.
Do you think you're Ding Sanshi if you want to take money while standing?
"Immortal Taihua, you live in the sect, so you may not know much about the outside world. The entire nation is paying attention to the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time."
Shi Liangjin explained.
"The entire nation's attention? Why? "
Daoist Tai Hua was curious.
"Sikong Jiantian also participated in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet."
Shi Liangjin's words immediately shocked Daoist Tai Hua.
"Sikong Jiantian came to the Sword Dao Meet too?"
Daoist Tai Hua was shocked. Everyone in Jin Nation knew about Sikong Jiantian.
If that was the case, then it was normal for the entire country to pay attention to it.
"Yes, it's also precisely because Sikong Jiantian is also participating in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet that the entire Jin Nation is paying attention to it. However, Sikong Jiantian is not the only one who is getting the most attention. Your two disciples are also getting a lot of attention."
"This time, we have a big Chamber of Commerce as the banker. If we do a little work, it will be …"
When Shi Liangjin said this, he didn't continue speaking.
But the meaning was clear.
Daoist Tai Hua was also a shrewd person, and he immediately understood what Shi Liangjin wanted to express.
In the past, there were also bankers in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet, but there was a limit. Hence, there was no fraud.
This time, because of Sikong Jiantian, the entire Jin Nation was paying attention to the great battle. Since there was attention, there would naturally be interests involved. Once there were interests involved, rich people would be attracted to be the bankers.
If they could control the outcome, it would be a huge profit.
After figuring that out, Daoist Tai Hua was completely excited.
"What exactly should we do?"
Daoist Tai Hua stopped pretending and asked directly.
Everything else was illusory except for the Spirit Stones.
What was the point of ranking? Both Ye Ping and Su Changyu had entered the top eight, so advancing to the third-rank would be more than enough.
Besides, Sikong Jiantian had also participated in the competition, so it would basically be difficult for him to get first place. The best he could do was probably second place.
However, there was no difference between second and eighth place, but if he could profit from it, it would be great.
Hence, Daoist Tai Hua was really tempted.
"Immortal Tai Hua, the most controversial people in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet now happen to be your two disciples. My idea is very simple, let's try to place bets in the top eight. If your two disciples can meet in the top four, we'll make a huge profit."
"We'll let whoever has the highest odds lose. In that case, there will be a complete upset and the behind-the-scenes chamber of commerce will be able to earn a large number of Spirit Stones while we can also profit from it. It'll be killing two birds with one stone. What do you think?"
Shi Liangjin's words made Daoist Tai Hua tempted.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was true. Initially, he was a little worried. After all, he had earned Spirit Stones from the banker and it was hard to guarantee that the other party wouldn't investigate.
However, if there was an upset, the banker would be able to make a profit too. The gamblers would be the unlucky ones.
However, Daoist Tai Hua still couldn't bear it and said, "If there's really an upset, wouldn't the people who bet …"
Daoist Tai Hua couldn't bear it as he felt that he owed them.
However, Shi Liangjin shook his head with a sneer.
"Immortal Tai Hua, you're wrong about this. How many of the gamblers are good?"
"Even if we don't get involved, will these gamblers definitely win?"
"Even if they win? Will they be able to win forever? "
"In fact, once they win, they'll want to win more and they'll never stop. After winning, they'll want to win again. These days, everyone is pitiful, but gamblers are the least pitiful. It's indeed inappropriate for us to be doing this."
"But isn't this how the world is? Some people are born with no lack of food and clothing, while some don't even have enough to eat."
"Immortal, I, Shi Liangjin, am just a mortal who will give some money to pitiful people, but I also have to eat and survive. These days, we laugh at the poor but not the prostitutes. When we're poor, being benevolent and righteous is just a joke."
Shi Liangjin's words were firm and decisive.
The hesitation on Daoist Tai Hua's face gradually disappeared.
Because he was right.
"What about the principal?"
Daoist Tai Hua continued to ask.
"The principal is very simple, 40-60. I'll pay 60% and you'll pay 40%. If you don't have it, I can lend it to you first and we'll split the total profits 50-50."
Shi Liangjin said.
"If this can be done, we'll do 30-70. I'll pay 30% of the principal and you'll pay 70%."
Daoist Tai Hua pondered for a while before stating the distribution ratio.
At that moment, Shi Liangjin pondered for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "30-70 it is, but Immortal Tai Hua, you must convince your two disciples. After all, if we want to earn more, we can't afford to lose too much."
It didn't matter if they paid 70% of the principal, but the premise was that they couldn't make any mistakes. After all, the profits were 50-50 and they just had to take on more risks.
"I can't guarantee that, but I'll write a letter and we'll place our bets after we get a definite answer. How about that?"
Daoist Tai Hua wasn't sure if they were willing to take on the job or not.
If they were unwilling, there was nothing he could do. After all, it was up to them.
"Okay, Immortal Tai Hua, let's go down the mountain first, shall we talk on the way?"
Shi Liangjin nodded. Anyway, he wouldn't do it unless he was 90% sure.
"Okay, by the way, who has the highest odds to lose now?"
"Sikong Jiantian has the highest odds of 1: 20, your eldest disciple has the second highest odds of 1: 10, and your youngest disciple has the third highest odds of 1: 5."
"What? My eldest disciple has the odds of 1: 10? What's the point of sending a pigeon? Just bet on him to lose. "
The voices of Daoist Tai Hua and Shi Liangjin gradually disappeared in the Qingyun Mountain Range.
Just like that.
The list of the top eight appeared again. Ye Ping, Sikong Jiantian, and Su Changyu's opponents gave up again.
The final list of the top four was also announced at noon.
"Ye Ping vs. Wang Minghao"
"Su Changyu vs. Sikong Jiantian"
As soon as the names were announced, the entire Qingzhou Ancient City was in an uproar.
In less than half a day, the entire Jin Nation was in an uproar.
