Wan Minsheng spoke very seriously, as if he had foreseen that Zuo Xiaoduo would achieve great things and that the Spirit Race would anger Zuo Xiaoduo for some reason.
Zuo Xiaoduo could only smile bitterly. "Elder Wan, you really think too highly of me. Are you so sure that I can reach such heights? Is there a need to be so cautious and nip the problem in the bud? "
"I can't be sure, but I don't need to be sure either."
Wan Minsheng said.
"Then why? … "
"There's always a need to invest in advance. Timely help is always more important than adding flowers to a brocade."
Wan Minsheng smiled bitterly. "What you said just now is exactly what I'm thinking now. I'm taking precautions."
Zuo Xiaoduo couldn't help but laugh: "Aren't you too far-sighted? This is basically a bet. It's not a good habit! "
Wan Minsheng smiled. "A bet is also a bet. Gambling was not a good habit, but since ancient times, no one had been able to escape from this word. As long as you're born as a human, you'll have to gamble in your life. "
Zuo Xiaoduo said, "As far as I know, there are many people who don't gamble in their lives. If they don't gamble, they won't lose."
"This bet is different from that."
Wan Minsheng chuckled. "The bet you're talking about is a bet of wealth, but the bet I'm talking about is a bet of life."
"A bet of life? How? " Zuo Xiaoduo said, "If everyone has to gamble with their lives, then wouldn't the entire world be a bunch of desperadoes?"
"Not really."
Wan Minsheng knew very well that Zuo Xiaoduo was rambling.
Zuo Xiaoduo was a rare genius. Having cultivated to this level, he also knew very well that his luck could not be replicated. No one in the entire continent could be luckier than him.
Zuo Xiaoduo's intention was very clear. He did not want to be tainted by this karma.
Because this was bound to be a burden in the future.
Whether he could do it or not, it would be a problem. It might even be a huge problem!
The promise involved an entire race, not just one or two people!
Not being able to do it was also a hindrance. Although it was easy, it was a flaw in the state of mind. Others asked me to do something after I became the mayor, but I didn't become the mayor in this lifetime … It was too depressing.
Therefore, Zuo Xiaoduo did not want to accept it. Even though he knew that there were huge benefits in front of him, and there was a high chance that he would not be able to fulfill his promise, he still did not want to get involved in this karma.
Wan Minsheng understood Zuo Xiaoduo's mentality very well. He was probably the person who valued promises the most. Naturally, he knew the stakes involved.
Therefore, he could only try his best to convince Zuo Xiaoduo.
To accept this karma.
"Young friend, the word 'gamble' plays a huge role in a person's life. No one can avoid it. Often, when a person's fate is determined, at the most important turning point in life, everyone needs to gamble! "
"Since ancient times, life has always been a gamble, and there are always bets! Even to the point that everyone is gambling their life and betting at every moment. "
"Ordinary people need to gamble. At the critical juncture of life, if you choose the left, you may be rich and safe. If you choose the right, you may be consigned to eternal damnation and be poor for life."
"High officials and rich people need to gamble. At the critical juncture of life, if you choose the left, you will have a meteoric rise. If you choose the right, you will be consigned to eternal damnation."
"Nobles, generals, and ministers also need to gamble. If you choose the left path, you will have a foundation for eternity. If you choose the right path, you will lose all standing and reputation, and not even your bones will be left! "
"And martial artists need to gamble even more. Looking at the life of a martial artist, they really need to gamble too many times. What they bet on is life and death."
"This is gambling."
"As long as you are alive, you need to gamble. You must gamble! Winning a bet and losing a bet, the results are different, but in fact, the root cause is the same. "
"Ordinary people gamble. If they lose, they still have a chance to turn things around. But the higher the status of a person, once they lose a bet, they will be consigned to eternal damnation. If a martial artist loses a bet, it is even more obvious that he will die. "
"Young friend, you are now facing such a juncture. Whether you accept my bet or not is also a gamble for you."
Zuo Xiaoduo murmured, "It is also a gamble for me?"
"That's right."
Wan Minsheng said, "My chips are the benefits that you can see at the moment. For example, this infinite vitality. Even Connate Spiritual Treasures do not have so much vitality. You can use it however you want!"
"Also … I see that you have a Paradise Unique Treasure that can control the flow of time. I can help you perfect it, perfect it to the point that even a Half-Saint will not be able to detect it!"
"Previously, you said that your progress in the Witch Fire Cultivation Method is a little slow. I can do my best to help you cultivate Zu Wu Zhu Rong's Legacy Fire. In this aspect, in the entire world, in all the races in the universe, unless Zu Wu Zhu Rong comes back to life, no one can understand the secrets of Zhu Rong's Primordial Fire better than me."
"If you still think it is not enough, I promise that I will owe you another favor. I will not refuse any request."
"Yes, you can use all the Heavenly Treasures in this forest as you wish … This is not included in the benefits that I will give you."
Zuo Xiaoduo could not help but be moved when he heard this.
These conditions were really too good. It was too hard to refuse.
Infinite vitality.
Perfect the Void Destruction Pagoda.
Cultivate the Legacy Fire.
And a favor from a Half-Saint. It could be any favor that he wanted!
And all the Heavenly Treasures that were not considered benefits!
Oh my god …
For Zuo Xiaoduo, who valued wealth as much as his life, this was simply an itch to him.
Although he knew that if he agreed, it might be super troublesome in the future.
But … he really could not refuse such a temptation!
In the Void Destruction Pagoda.
The Wahuang Sword was vibrating with all its might. "Say yes! Say yes! You must say yes! You must say yes! That is a Half-Saint, a Half-Saint! "
Xiao kept jumping. "Say yes! Say yes! "
In the Divine Sense Space, Bai and Jiu were jumping crazily. "Mama! Say yes! Mama! Say yes! "
Zuo Xiaoduo raised his head and rolled his eyes.
He really wanted to say yes.
He had already wanted to blurt out and say yes several times!
But …
There is still the most important one, Xiao Long. I did not ask for his opinion, but this guy's obsession with benefits is no less than mine. His answer is obvious.
But I'll still ask. First, I'll test the respect that I have for my companions!
"Xiao Long, do you think I should say yes?" Zuo Xiaoduo was very modest and asked very seriously.
Although the greed in his heart had already risen so high that it blotted out the sky, if Xiao Long really said no, Zuo Xiaoduo would still choose to refuse.
Because although Xiao Long was also very greedy, and sometimes the characteristics of Nine Feet Higher Sky were not inferior to his, this kind of spiritual creature that was formed by pure luck was often sensitive to the future or some fate to an extent that ordinary people could not imagine.
Xiao Long hesitated and said, "Boss, I really want to tell you not to say yes. But you can't refuse the benefits offered by this old man. Once you refuse, it will be a great hindrance to your future achievements. If you lose today's opportunity, even if you still have great achievements, it will be delayed for a long time. But now is the time to seize every second. "
"In the end, there will only be returns if there is effort! But … the troubles in the future, besides being unavoidable, will also not be small. There will only be returns if there is effort, and vice versa! "
Zuo Xiaoduo's lips twitched.
Your words are equivalent to not saying anything. Isn't that why I'm hesitating …
"Boss, you should make the decision yourself!"
Xiao Long said apologetically, "It's just a thought to make a choice. Right now … I'm still too weak … The change in front of us, or the choice you made in the future, is a matter of fate. I'm still far from reaching such a high level …"
Zuo Xiaoduo became more and more conflicted.
If Wan Minsheng was only talking about a few people or a certain part of them, Zuo Xiaoduo would not need to ask for any conditions at all and would directly agree.
If it was someone else who said this to Zuo Xiaoduo, Zuo Xiaoduo would have already agreed, regardless of whether he could do it or not.
Zuo Xiaoduo had not done things that he could do but not do. It was not the first time that he went back on his word. When the time came, he would just go back on his word …
But in the face of such a respectable old man, Zuo Xiaoduo did not want to deceive him in any way.
If he agreed, he had to do it.
If he did not agree, he had his own considerations.
Moreover, Zuo Xiaoduo had another understanding. That was, Wan Minsheng, a powerful person with such a high cultivation level, took the initiative to make this bet with him and placed such a heavy bet. This meant that Wan Minsheng must have foreseen something or confirmed something.
At the very least, it was highly possible for him to reach that step.
There was no doubt about this.
Otherwise, Wan Minsheng would not have brought up this matter so seriously.
There were some things that the other party saw but he did not. This was a great injustice for the current situation.
But this was a loss that he would have to suffer in silence.
Because Wan Minsheng would never explain the reason behind it.
What Xiaolong said was that only with effort would there be rewards, and vice versa. This made Zuo Xiaoduo ponder deeply. With so many benefits, his cultivation base and strength would definitely improve greatly, and it would greatly shorten the time he needed to improve his strength. Now, wasn't he lacking time?!
Could it be that he was destined to jump into this trap?!
Wan Minsheng looked at Zuo Xiaoduo seriously. Looking at his increasingly complicated expression, he said apologetically, "Young friend, I'm indeed forcing you to do something you don't want to do, and I even suspect that I'm threatening you. But I'm the only one left in the Spirit Clan in this world, and the only one who can be involved in karma with you at this stage … This bet is imperative!"
"Just like in the past, Wu people, Gonggong and Houtu, the two great Zu Wu, came to the Spirit Clan and made a promise with me to cut off a chance of survival for all living beings!"
"I understand Elder Wan's considerations."
Zuo Xiaoduo took a deep breath and said seriously, "This bet, this karma, I'll take it. I agree!"
"Thank you for your help, young friend."
Wan Minsheng's eyes were full of gratification and joy.
He looked like he had put down a huge burden in his heart.
