Le Tian's mask-like smile made him look like a well-tempered casino owner.
The "innocent" Li Qingshan, who looked like a teenager, was the standard ignorant teenager in the story who was walking on a path of no return. He even blinked his eyes seriously.
"Senior Brother Le, since it's a bet, we should have a target!"
"Yes, ten years it is!"
Hearing this, Li Qingshan didn't react, but the other true disciples all had different expressions.
Ruan Yaozhu said angrily, "Senior Brother Le, I can't just ignore you bullying people like this!"
Others might not know, but as a true disciple, she knew very well how difficult it was to become a true disciple of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect.
In theory, as long as one had enough merits, even if one's cultivation wasn't high enough, they could still slowly become a true disciple. However, if one wasn't a Human Sovereign who had undergone five Heavenly Tribulations, it was very difficult to accumulate merits. A Human Sovereign completing one or two important tasks might earn more merits than a Nascent Soul cultivator could accumulate in ten years.
Unless Li Qingshan could quickly undergo five Heavenly Tribulations, but he was only at the third Heavenly Tribulation. Becoming a Human Sovereign within ten years was simply a pipe dream.
Ren Aoyou also said with a smile, "Hey, Le Tian, this bet is a bit too much. It's not your usual style."
Le Tian was known for his love of gambling, and he won more than he lost. The reason why other people were willing to gamble with him was because he was always very fair. He would never resort to trickery and trickery. Even if the loser was not convinced, they would still find a way to get back at him instead of never gambling with him again. Taking advantage of Li Qingshan's ignorance of the Myriad sect and making a completely unfair bet was definitely not his style of doing things.
"It's just a joke." Le Tian scratched his head. "I don't know why, but even if it's ten years, I still feel a little uneasy."
"Senior Brother, you think too highly of me. Please forgive me for not accepting such a bet."
Li Qingshan said seriously. He seemed a little dissatisfied, but he was inwardly rejoicing. He was already considering whether or not to bet with Le Tian. Although he didn't know much about the Myriad Phenomenon Sect, he knew that the so-called True Disciples were those who had gone through five Heavenly Tribulations!
It wasn't that he didn't have any confidence that he could survive five Heavenly Tribulations in ten years.
Right now, he was only half a step away from the fourth heavenly tribulation. If he cultivated the Ape Demon Transformation to the fifth layer, he would be able to immediately restore the Ox, Tiger, Turtle, and Phoenix Transformations to the fifth layer. He reckoned that he would not be far from the fifth heavenly tribulation.
"Okay, okay, I was just joking." Le Tian hurriedly said, "Then fifty years it is. With your talent, you should have a high chance of success in fifty years."
However, most Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't overcome the fifth or even the fourth heavenly tribulation in five hundred years. They were forever stuck at the bottleneck until they died. Otherwise, they would have been turned into ashes by the tribulation lightning. But based on Li Qingshan's performance in the Origin Magnetic Mountain, this time limit could already be considered fair.
Li Qingshan was absolutely willing. Based on the current situation, if he couldn't survive five heavenly tribulations in fifty years, he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself. What was the point of ascending to the Nine Heavens and fighting Qiong Qi?
But the expression on his face was very hesitant, as if he had considered it carefully. He bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Le. I still don't think gambling is very good! "
After saying that, he walked toward the ship. Ruan Yaozhu smiled. Not all men were like Le Tian.
Le Tian was a little surprised. Based on his understanding of Li Qingshan, with fifty years, Li Qingshan would bet with him no matter what. But he actually refused!
He blocked Li Qingshan's path and sized him up.
"What do you want? Do you want to extend the time limit? You should know that even for people like us, fifty years is very long. If the progress of the gamble is too slow, it will be very boring. I can increase the odds! "
Li Qingshan sighed and said, "But I don't have anything to bet!"
Le Tian immediately said, "I can lend it to you!" How could a casino owner not lend money?
Li Qingshan sighed again. "Sigh, it's so long! I can't stand the interest. "
"You little brat, so you want me to lend it to you for free? If you die during the tribulation, who will I ask for compensation? "
"It's gambling, so it's inevitable to take some risks. I agree with what Senior Brother Le said. If the gamble is too long, it will inevitably be boring. I also don't want to increase the odds and take advantage of you. How about this! "Li Qingshan smiled and said," Thirty years, one to one! "
He had cut the fifty years limit by nearly half. Such confidence, or rather, arrogance, made the few true disciples look at him. In a mere thirty years, a disciple had become a Successor Disciple. There had never been such an example in the history of the Myriad Nature Sect.
In comparison, it was easier to cultivate a Nascent Soul to a Yang Spirit. But even a peerless genius would need the support of a large amount of resources and hard work to have a chance. During this process, there would be absolutely no time and energy to complete the sect's tasks.
Ruan Yaozhu wanted to persuade him, but when she saw Li Qingshan's high-spirited appearance and thought of all the things in the Yuan Fused Mountain, she bit her lip and shook her head gently.
Ren Aoyou smiled and said, "Kid, I think I'm crazy enough, but I didn't expect you to be even crazier! Do you know how much risk there is in this? "
Li Qingshan also smiled and said, "Even if I lose, I won't lose my life. It's not a risk, and getting some resources in advance is always beneficial to my cultivation. Of course, it's better if Senior Brother Le is willing to lend it to me. "
Pi Yangqiu couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "Beautiful!"
With that, he had turned the tables on Le Tian. If Le Tian was only willing to lend a very small number of green jade lots, it would be nothing to someone like Li Qingshan in a few decades. If he borrowed a lot, then he could immediately convert it into a large amount of resources and quickly improve his cultivation. Even if he lost in the end, it might not be a loss.
In a situation where he had an absolute advantage, if Le Tian didn't dare to gamble, then he would lose face. So now he had to lend it to him even if he didn't want to.
The smile on Le Tian's face became even wider, and his narrowed eyes flashed with sharpness. "How much do you want to bet?"
This kid is indeed worthy of being the gambler that I like. Unknowingly, the gambling had already begun. If he wanted to regain the upper hand, he had to raise the stakes of this round to a level that would make his opponent fearful. He had to crush his opponent's psychological defenses and make him waver.
This was the most common and useful trick in gambling, and as a Human Sovereign, he had an absolute advantage in this aspect.
Li Qingshan said, "How much do you dare to borrow?"
At this time, even the calm and stern Leng Yuan was moved. He realized that this joking gambling would probably turn into a shocking gamble.
Le Tian also didn't expect this. He had originally lost to Li Qingshan and couldn't help but want to get back at him. He didn't expect that he would be forced to do so by Li Qingshan.
The handsome man in front of him was no longer a small gambling stake for them to gamble with. Instead, he was the gambler standing on the opposite side of the gambling table, sitting on the same level as him, and even looking at him condescendingly.
If you have the guts to lend me, I will dare to bet with you. Come, let me test your guts!
"Interesting, this is really interesting!"
Le Tian laughed heartily, and he even started dancing with joy. He seemed extremely delighted.
Li Qingshan stood with his arms crossed, and Le Tian's face suddenly approached him. He raised a finger and said, "One thousand!"
Ruan Yaozhu was stunned. She had won against Le Tian and the other three almost at the same time, but the green jade lots she had won were still less than one thousand. Even for a true disciple, a green jade lot was very precious, not to mention that Li Qingshan was just a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Li Qingshan stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me!"
"If you lose, you have to pay two thousand on the spot. Otherwise … "Le Tian used his finger to lightly draw a line on his neck." No one can owe me a gambling debt! "
Li Qingshan grinned and said, "If I don't pay, I will be at your mercy!"
Mosquitoes don't bite when there are too many of them. There was no need to worry when one had too many debts.
Two thousand green jade lots might be a terrifying number to others, but to Li Qingshan, it was just not enough. It was not that he was really confident that he could become a true disciple of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect in thirty years. Until now, he knew very little about the rules of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect.
However, according to Luo Hou Xiaoming's calculations, the 500-year agreement between him and Demon God Qiongqi was about the same time limit in the human realm.
Either he defeated Demon God Qiongqi, then he would not have to worry even if he lost the bet, or he was defeated by Demon God Qiongqi. What kind of bullsh * t is Senior Brother Le Tian? If you have the guts, come to Qingqi Mountain and find me, you bastard!
Heh, even the Myriad Phenomenon Sect's sect master did not have the guts to do that. It could be said that this bet was a great help to him in his bet with Demon God Qiongqi.
It was not that Le Tian was stupid, but that Li Qingshan was clever. Who would have thought a measly Soul Nascent cultivator would actually become involved with a Demon God, and he was even saddled with a bet that was basically impossible for him to win?
Therefore, people should have great ambitions, even if it would bring them great trouble. However, when you have a big trouble, a small trouble is no trouble. If you can solve a big trouble, a small trouble is nothing. If you can solve a big trouble, a small trouble is also nothing.
Le Tian patted the Three-legged Golden Toad, and it spat out a thousand green jade lots. He handed them to Li Qingshan personally. Looking at Li Qingshan, who was happily counting the green jade lots, as if he had already won the bet and was counting how much he had won, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
As a gambler, he knew how scary this feeling was, but at the same time, he became more and more excited. A gamble that could not make people feel this way was not a gamble at all. It was just a boring game!
Li Qingshan counted the green jade lots carefully twice and asked Ruan Yaozhu to help identify if there were any "fake notes" in them. Only then did he put the green jade lots into his sumeru ring with satisfaction.
"Le Wuyou knows his destiny, gambling with life and death!"
Le Tian sang loudly and returned to the Three-legged Golden Toad's back. With a croak, the Golden Toad jumped into the sea.
"Hahaha, kid, I hope you can win!" Ren Chuyou laughed three times and flew away.
"You're on your own," Leng Yuan warned and left as well.
Pi Yangqiu went up and patted Li Qingshan's shoulder. "We will meet again."
In the blink of an eye, only Li Qingshan, Ruan Yaozhu, and the nine-colored deer were left on the beach.
Ruan Yaozhu scolded, "You shouldn't have gambled!"
Li Qingshan shrugged his shoulders. "I already did."
"Men!" Ruan Yaozhu sighed slightly. "It will take a long time to get to the Nature Sect by boat. I will give you a ride!"
