Ye Futian looked around. Other than the geniuses of the top forces he had seen before, there were many people he did not know. They were probably from the top forces of the Western Region.
In the southwestern region, Alchemy City was the largest main city. Other than that, there was also Burning Sky City, which was extremely powerful. Further west was a terrifying Fire Mountain that radiated to an endless area. As such, there were many top forces that specialized in fire-elemental powers in this area.
Alchemy City's armorers, the City Lord Office's people, the Sacred Fire Sect's people, and the Fire Emperor Palace's people were all proficient in fire-elemental powers.
As for the Ice Temple in the southernmost region of the Barren State, they were probably more proficient in water-elemental powers.
It seemed that it would not be easy to take away these top level ritual implements.
"Haha …" At that moment, a hearty laughter was heard. The elder from the day before brought his people over again. Looking at the mighty ones who had gathered from all over, a smile was seen in his eyes. As he had expected, he had prepared seven top-notch sage ritual implements. He did not believe that these people would not come to fight for them.
The geniuses of the top forces were all extremely confident in themselves. Moreover, they rarely clashed with each other. They had only gathered in Alchemy City because of the Alchemy Conference. How could they miss such an opportunity? Naturally, they had to bring out the ritual implements to exchange for treasures that the top forces had. In addition, the information they had gathered was more complete. They had already made an assessment of the strength of these people. This way, they could set up bets and make a lot of money.
"It is my honor to have all the geniuses of the top forces gathered here at the Alchemy Casino." The elder smiled and cupped his hands. "Yesterday, I already introduced three ritual implements. Today, there are four more. This sword is the Ghost Shadow Sword, which was once used by Senior Ghost Sword. It is as thin as a cicada's wing and can cut through metal like mud. It contains terrifying sword will."
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Futian's group. Ghost Sword's disciple had entered the Holy Zhi Palace to cultivate and was still here. With this sword, he did not believe that he would not want it.
In addition, Hua Jieyu would definitely fight for the Telekinesis Bead. The disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace would have to show up even if they did not want to.
"This is a Sun Crown. It contains a wisp of fire from the Sun Divine Bird, the Three-legged Golden Raven. Feel its power yourself." The elder pointed at another magic treasure. The Sun Crown floated in the air, releasing an incomparably terrifying sunlight. Many experts who cultivated in the power of fire wanted to fight for it.
"This Wolf Teeth Mace weighs thousands of kilograms and is a Martial Artefact. The spikes on the Wolf Teeth Mace are indestructible and have the ability to tear through spells and Martial Artefacts.
"There's also this golden cauldron. It spits out rays of golden light and transforms into countless golden cauldrons to suppress everything. It can even shatter the mental energy of others. It contains a double attack." The elder pointed at a huge golden cauldron. The seven magical treasures were all extremely powerful and were top-notch sage ritual implements.
"Now, I will bring these seven treasures to the battle arena. Anyone who wants treasures can participate in the battle." The old man smiled and said, "Please."
Everyone's eyes flashed. Today, seven magic treasures appeared together.
The crowd walked towards the battle platform. It was a magnificent sight to behold.
"Is the Ghost Shadow Sword your master's?" Ye Futian asked Zui Qianchou.
"When I met my master, his cultivation had already been destroyed and his sword was gone, so I've never seen him. But since the Alchemy Casino said so, it must be true." A strange look flashed in Zui Qianchou's eyes. Of course, he wanted his master's sword back.
"The Alchemy Casino is the number one casino in Alchemy City, and it's also the place where the two major ritual implements are traded. The most important rule here is honesty. There's no deceit. Whatever you say goes. It's the same for us. If you agree to the battle and don't give us the treasures, no matter who you are, don't even think about leaving the casino," Zhong Li said.
Ye Futian nodded lightly. "I must get the Ghost Shadow Sword. The golden cauldron is suitable for Zhong Li, and the Sun Crown Phoenix should be suitable. As for the Wolf Teeth Mace, it should be suitable for Yuan Zhan."
"…"
The group looked at Ye Futian with strange expressions. These were all top-notch sage ritual implements. There were so many of them, so there was nothing that wouldn't suit them.
"You're not really planning to take them all, are you?" Xu Que looked at Ye Futian with a strange expression.
"Isn't it the same for others? Why waste it? "Ye Futian looked at Xu Que and said.
"That makes sense." Xu Que nodded.
"It's just that Yu Sheng defeated Yan Jiu yesterday. The Alchemy Casino should have a new estimation of our strength. They won't let us get what we want so easily. The opponents they choose will definitely not be weak," Zhong Li said.
"Since the Alchemy Casino lured us here, it's obvious that they want us to bet on the battles. They won't ask for battles that are too harsh. After all, if it's the same as yesterday, the Alchemy Casino will choose geniuses from top forces as our opponents. That way, no matter who wins or loses, they'll just be exchanging their ritual implements for another treasure. As for the strength of the two sides, they'll be considering how to open the bet," Ye Futian said.
Zhong Li and the others nodded. That was indeed the case.
Seven ritual implements floated in the air on the battle platform. They were very attractive.
The elder looked at the crowd and said, "Since the Alchemy Conference is about to begin, the geniuses of all forces in the Barren State will be gathered here. Today, the casino will take out seven ritual implements for everyone to participate in the battle. If anyone wants these seven ritual implements, please stand in front of the ritual implements and I'll arrange a battle for you. Of course, the condition is that you all agree to it.
"As expected." Many people's eyes sparkled. This battle was specially arranged for the geniuses of top forces. These people were the most eye-catching.
Many people stepped onto the battle platform. Bing Yi came before the Hailstone Scepter. Although they didn't know who would fight for it, they had to fight for it before that.
"Bing Yi, Virgin of the Mortal World," someone said.
"Yan Jiu, the Sword Saint Villa lost yesterday. It seems that you're not satisfied." Yan Jiu walked out of the crowd and came before the Ghost Shadow Sword.
"Xie Ji of the Sacred Fire Sect." Another person walked out. Xie Ji walked before the Sun Crown.
Li Futu and his wife from the Fire Emperor Palace walked out at the same time. One walked before the Sun Crown and the other before the brilliant ritual implement armor. Clearly, they wanted two treasures.
Su Hongxiu from the Goddess Pavilion walked before the Telekinesis Orb. Yu Ming walked there as well and said, "Hongxiu, I'll fight for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Yu." Su Hongxiu's voice was extremely gentle. It was as if she could drown people in it.
"What about the geniuses of the Holy Zhi Palace?" the elder asked Ye Futian's group.
Today's setup was to let the geniuses of the Holy Zhi Palace participate in the battle. Naturally, they couldn't be left out. Now, even Li Futu had walked out.
"We want all seven ritual implements," Ye Futian looked at the elder and said.
The elder was stunned. Then, he smiled. This was for the best.
"What a big appetite." Di Zhou glanced at Ye Futian. The Emperor Family had a share in the Alchemy Casino. Ye Futian was really arrogant. He actually wanted all seven ritual implements. Could he swallow them all?
"If that's the case, we'll have to think carefully about the arrangements for the battle," the elder said with a smile.
"Why go through so much trouble? Since we want all the ritual implements, we'll naturally take out treasures of equivalent value. Senior, you only need to find seven people who can take out treasures of equivalent value to participate in the battle and arrange a battle. Seven battles is too troublesome," Ye Futian said.
Many people's hearts tightened. Their eyes shone brightly.
What a big appetite. He wanted to swallow them all in one battle?
"You mean, a group battle?" The elder looked at Ye Futian and asked.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. "We can take out seven people. It's not a problem."
"Interesting." Di Zhou smiled. "Then, count me in. I also want to experience the strength of the Holy Zhi Palace's disciples."
With that, he stepped out onto the battle platform. He wanted to participate as well.
"Count me in." Nan Hao from the Nantian House also stepped out upon hearing Ye Futian's words. Ye Futian actually wanted a group battle. How could he miss such a battle?
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the battle platform. At the moment, there was a terrifying lineup on the platform.
Li Futu and his wife, Yu Ming, Xie Ji, Yan Jiu, Nan Hao, Di Zhou, Su Hongxiu, and Bing Yi. Nine strong cultivators.
The elder looked at the people on the battle platform and said, "There are only seven ritual implements. If you would like to participate in the battle, you will have to choose the ritual implement you wish to participate in."
"Hongxiu, leave this to me," Yu Ming said. Su Hongxiu nodded and said, "Thank you, Young Master Yu."
With that, he left the betting platform. Then, Nan Hao walked to the golden cauldron, while Di Zhou walked to the mace that no one had chosen. However, there was one more person. Li Futu and Xie Ji both wanted the Sun Crown.
"Xie Ji, don't fight with me. You can't win," Li Futu said emotionlessly to Xie Ji.
Xie Ji's eyes hardened. He was indeed no match for Li Futu.
"Alright, I won't fight for the ritual implement, but I'll join in the fun. I'll also participate in this battle. Do you have another ritual implement?" Xie Ji asked the elder.
"Of course. Then we'll bet on a superior ritual implement. If you win, you can choose one. If you lose, you'll have to pay the price of a superior Sage ritual implement," the elder said. "How about a verbal agreement?"
"Alright." Xie Ji nodded.
"Everyone's conditions are the same. Do you agree?" The elder looked at Ye Futian.
"Sure." Ye Futian nodded.
"If that's the case, what will you all bet for this battle?" the elder asked again.
"The Nine-fingered Guqin Demon's Soul Fright Guqin, Mesmerizing Song, my ritual implement Polearm of Divine Destruction, and two techniques, the Sun Scripture and the Moon Scripture," Ye Futian said.
"Anything else?" the elder asked, smiling.
"The Ghost Sword Technique," Zui Qianchou said. Zui Qianchou said. The Ghost Shadow Sword that he wanted was in this wagered battle, so he naturally had to put up some stakes.
"A Phoenix Elixir made by my master," Phoenix also said. The elder's eyes flashed. The Phoenix Elixir made by the Undying Old Man was extremely precious.
"That should be enough, right?" Ye Futian asked the elder.
"Alright, it's enough." The elder smiled. He was very satisfied with the wager. Then, he looked at the people on the platform. They all reported their wagers and the elder's smile grew brighter.
On the other hand, the surrounding people were shocked. This wagered battle had cost a lot.
