In a "fair" gamble, any gambler with a limited amount of money would lose it all one day as long as he continued to gamble for a long time. This was the famous "Gamblers Lose Everything Theorem." What's more, there weren't many bets in the world that were truly fair.
However, he was in urgent need of obsidian essence.
It was as if the owner of the voice knew that he needed it.
Lu Zhou turned around and faced the towering tree. He said, "Since you want to bet, you should come out and meet me."
"I don't like sunlight." Her voice was like water.
"You're the White Tower's Master, Lan Xihe," Lu Zhou said.
"Not only are you not weak, you are also very smart."
After a short silence, Lan Xihe said, "Are you willing to accept this bet? “
A cool breeze blew.
Lu Zhou said.
"Ye Tianxin is my disciple. Do you think I would use her as a wager?"
Lan Xihe:
"Bets are just a form of pleasure for people to enjoy. There's no need to worry too much about it. I know you are looking for obsidian essence everywhere … This thing is extremely rare, my White Tower has some. If it's possible, we can cancel the bet and I'll take Ye Tianxin away. You're her master, so I'd like to ask for your permission. "
Lu Zhou was not in a hurry to express his opinion.
"What do you want from Ye Tianxin?"
Through his sniffing divine art, he determined that the master of the White Tower already had the breath of the Great Void. So what was her motive? Perhaps Lan Xihe already knew about the existence of the seed and was not satisfied with the aura of the Taixu, so he wanted to take it for himself?
"I admire her very much. She has the qualities of a high-ranking person," Lan Xihe said.
He didn't understand.
Lu Zhou continued to ask.
"You didn't answer my question."
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards her." Lan Xihe's voice was very calm.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "I'll judge for myself whether they bear ill will or not. Since she is this old man's disciple, this old man naturally needs to know your intentions. "
As always, Lan Xihe said patiently and seriously, "If I had malicious intentions, would I still come to you?"
Lu Zhou nodded.
With Lan Xihe's cultivation base, he could easily take Ye Tianxin away when she was unprepared.
This also reminded him to be careful of some villains in the future, such as the Black Tower's sowing dissension. Right now, the forces on the surface were afraid of his strength and did not dare to make a move. However, that did not mean that no one would try to trip him up in the dark.
"80 portions of Obsidian Essence," Lu Zhou said calmly.
The forest fell silent.
It could be seen that even the White Tower would have to consider carefully when faced with 80 portions of Obsidian Essence.
Even someone like Lan Xi would hesitate.
After a brief moment of silence, Lan Xihe said, "Greed is one of the characteristics of human progress … Ye Tianxin is worth this much. Eighty servings then. "
The reason why he wanted 80 was because he already had 26 of them. There were still 10 portions in Chen Wuwang's hands. If he didn't keep his promise, he wouldn't be able to gather 100 portions.
Lan Xihe continued,
"The bet is set. We'll meet again in five days."
Lu Zhou said, "Wait."
"I don't like people who go back on their word," Lan Xihe said.
Lu Zhou said.
"I'll give you a piece of advice."
"Go ahead."
"Based on my years of experience, those who rely on luck when it comes to gambling don't end well. They might even end up with their families ruined," Lu Zhou said.
Lan Xihe smiled.
Her laughter was like that of a fairy in the forest.
It was pleasant to the ears.
After the laughter subsided, Lan Xihe said, "But, you still fell into the trap."
After saying this, there were no more sounds from her.
Lu Zhou sensed a faint fluctuation of Primal Qi. His curiosity was piqued. He moved forward at lightning speed and arrived at the foot of the towering tree.
There were only traces of Primal Qi left on the tree trunk. There was no trace of it at all.
He recited the sniffing technique.
Lu Zhou followed the aura and moved toward the mountains.
He used his grand technique several times, but he still could not catch up to Lan Xihe.
In the end, he landed on the peak of a mountain and looked down at the black lotus domain.
She was like a statue as she surveyed her surroundings.
At this point, her aura disappeared.
Lu Zhou was puzzled. 'What method did she use to conceal her aura and evade the Heavenly Writing's power?'
Then, he used his hearing to cover an area of 10 miles. Apart from the sounds of the beasts in the forest, the waterfalls, and the rivers, he could not detect Lan Xihe's presence.
"She vanished into thin air?" Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
Either Lan Xihe was very cautious and concealed her aura, or she vanished into thin air.
Lu Zhou pushed away from the ground and shot into the sky.
It was as if the entire earth was under his feet.
Apart from a trace of aura left on the peak, there were no other traces.
Lu Zhou descended again.
He did not continue his search and returned to the small town.
…
In the inn of the small town.
When Lu Zhou returned, Shen Xi, Yu Zhenghai, and Zhao Hongfu greeted him respectfully.
Zhao Hongfu said,
"We need to know the runic patterns of the destination for the runic passageway. Now, we can only pass through the Red Lotus first. Then, we can let the people from the Golden Lotus carve the runic patterns. That way, we can pass through the entire passageway."
Yu Zhenghai said.
"I'm afraid not. They don't know how to carve rune passages. Only you can do it. "
"None of them?" Zhao Hongfu asked doubtfully.
"That's right. You're the red and golden lotus domain's most skilled runemaster," Yu Zhenghai said.
"Me?" Zhao Hongfu wasn't confident.
She stayed in the Rune Academy every day, so the people she came into contact with were naturally proficient in runes. Whether it was the teachers or the students, they all understood runes. He wasn't used to putting himself on such a high pedestal all of a sudden.
"Be more confident. Everyone in the Evil Sky Pavilion has their strengths," Shen Xi said with a smile.
"Alright, so I'm that powerful. However, if that's the case, we'll have to fly back across the ocean, "Zhao Hongfu said.
"There's no need for that."
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "We can use the black lotus' passageway for now."
"…" Zhao Hongfu.
Shen Xi and Yu Zhenghai nodded.
"You may leave."
"Understood."
The three of them left.
Lu Zhou used the Heavenly Writing power to observe Ye Tianxin. When he saw that she was unharmed and cultivating on her own, he stopped using the power. At the same time, he observed Yu Shangrong's condition. Yu Shangrong had returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion with the Birth Chart Heart. He seemed fine.
Lu Zhou stopped using the power. He activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic and cultivated.
…
Meanwhile.
In a secluded corner of Sichuan where the black tower was located.
"Lord Duan, we've injured Shen Xi … We've also planted mortals in the town as spies. Based on Old Villain Lu's temper, he'll probably come looking for trouble with the black tower. "
Duan Xihua said.
"Are you sure Old Villain Lu will come?"
"Uh …"
The man said with uncertainty, "Most likely … Our men know about his past. He's a vengeful person in the red lotus domain. He's narrow-minded and short-tempered. Many people in the red lotus domain refer to him as Old Villain Lu as well. It's even more exaggerated in the golden lotus domain. Master and disciple are notorious, and they've committed all sorts of crimes. However, people in the golden lotus domain refer to him as Old Villain Ji. His reputation has improved in recent years. It's a huge contrast. He's a weirdo. "
