Compared to what he had comprehended, the mere ten thousand low-grade immortal crystals were not so important. After all, immortal crystals could be earned again, but it was not so easy to improve one's strength.
As long as one's strength improved, why would they worry about not being able to earn immortal crystals? Although Chen Binyue guessed that the gambling outside might have something to do with Lu Xiaotian, he couldn't blame the other party. He took the initiative to challenge. It wasn't Lu Xiaotian who forced him to come over with a saber.
"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Dongfang." After his defeat, Chen Binyue was not angry like most people thought he would be. Instead, he was sincerely convinced and looked at Lu Xiaotian with a grateful expression.
"Strange, he lost and paid the price of ten thousand low-grade immortal crystals. He actually thanked others. It can't be that he secretly discussed it." Chen Binyue's actions immediately made some of the immortals watching the battle below the stage whisper secretly.
"Who knows?"
"It can't be. Profound Wind Saber Chen Binyue is also quite famous. How could he do such a thing? It's very likely that he thanked Pill Sage Dongfang for stopping at the end and not hurting him. "Someone guessed.
In addition to these people who guessed, there were also a few True Immortals who saw something. They guessed that Chen Binyue might have benefited a lot from this battle. Otherwise, even if Lu Xiaotian won, Chen Binyue shouldn't be so respectful to him. Although the threshold of ten thousand low-grade immortal crystals to fight with Lu Xiaotian was not low, if he could improve in the battle, the ten thousand low-grade immortal crystals would be worth it.
Immediately, one or two powerful True Immortals were also tempted, but they didn't have so many immortal crystals on hand, so they had to go back and gather more.
"Haha, it's really satisfying. Brother Dongfang, this is yours. Take the change to those guys who passed the message. "As soon as the matter was over, Cheng Santong kept his word and came to Lu Xiaotian to distribute the gains. As for Xiao Yu and the other people Cheng Santong pulled in, they naturally had to discuss it.
Twenty-one thousand low-grade immortal crystals, Lu Xiaotian was surprised after receiving it. The benefits of opening a gambling house were much greater than the benefits he got from fighting on the stage.
"Don't be surprised. This is just the beginning. There will only be more and more." Cheng Santong chuckled.
"Brother Dongfang, if you were able to end the battle within 30 moves, we would have earned a few thousand low grade immortal crystals."
"Let's wait until we fight a few more matches. If we reveal so much of our strength all of a sudden, the people who place bets will become even more cautious," Lu Xiaotian said.
"You're right. But even so, he probably won't be able to fight many battles. There aren't many True Immortal Realm experts who are more powerful than Chen Binyue, "Cheng Santong said with some pity.
"Let's see how many rounds they can fight first. If one person doesn't dare to go up on stage, two or three people can challenge at the same time. With such a huge profit, there will definitely be people who want to try. "
"That's true. Brother Dongfang, your brain is too good." Cheng Santong clapped.
"Go ahead. I'll walk around for a bit before heading back to cultivate." Lu Xiaotian smiled.
"Alright, alright. Brother Dongfang, take care of yourself." Although Cheng Santong did not earn as much as Chong Xiaotian, he still earned close to 10,000 low grade immortal crystals after distributing some benefits to the others. At that moment, he was grinning from ear to ear. Just as he was looking forward to fighting a few more matches, the immortal crystals would come rolling in.
After this battle, they had earned over 30,000 low grade immortal crystals. Although this could not last for too long, as long as it could last for a while, it would be enough to make up for their previous losses.
Cheng Santong minded his own business. After all, he had to spread the news to even more True Immortals to place bets. He even had to find partners from other Immortal Army camps and have them accept the bets. All of this required a great deal of effort.
Otherwise, with just this Immortal Army camp, even if they were fighting in the Illusionary Swamp, the Immortal Army's monthly salary would be more than double. After doing this a few times, he would not be able to squeeze out much. Only by starting with other Immortal Army camps would he be able to earn more.
Now that the situation had just begun, Cheng Santong had many things to take care of. Lu Xiaotian walked around on his own. After familiarizing himself with the Immortal Army camps, Lu Xiaotian was able to move about much more than before due to his relationship with Cheng Santong.
At that moment, Lu Xiaotian just so happened to overhear a private conversation between two True Immortals.
"Oh no, we've lost everything this time. Part of it was even borrowed using the True Immortal level werewolf as collateral. Without the immortal crystals to return it, I'm afraid Old Man Meng won't return the True Immortal level werewolf's corpse to us. What are we going to use to report to Si Zheng?"
"What … what should we do?" The other True Immortal, Dark Brawny, was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.
"You said you've never asked for the corpse of a True Immortal level wolfman before, but now you keep asking for it. Not only did we kill the wolfmen, we even have to snatch the corpse back. Just because of this? The wolfmen on the battlefield were about to lose, but when they saw our actions, they went crazy again. We watched as the wolfmen turned the tide of victory. Even if they didn't, we still lost a lot of people for no reason. This is forcing the wolfmen to be irreconcilable with us. "The fat and round True Immortal said resentfully.
"We were already irreconcilable with each other. It's just that the wolfmen are going all out now. I was quite curious before. I have a Senior Apprentice Brother who knows a lot. I heard that these wolfmen's corpses are used to refine Poisonous Wolf Gu. I heard that the wolfmen of the Demon Realm are most afraid of these things. It's just that the Poisonous Wolf Gu is extremely difficult to cultivate. However, the wolfmen are truly too powerful. The Immortal Army of several Immortal Domains was almost wiped out. In the past, it was even harder for us to resist the wolfmen's attacks. Now that we have the Poisonous Wolf Gu, our killing power has increased by quite a bit. "
"It's just that under the wolfmen's crazy counterattack, our casualties are even greater than before. It seems the higher-ups want to use our lives to trade for the wolfmen's. "
True Immortal Dark Brawny's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction. "Logically speaking, there shouldn't be that many wolfmen in the Illusionary Swamp. Our Heavenly Court should've sent over more Immortal Army, as well as a few Celestial Immortal realm seniors. Why did it take so long? "
"That's not entirely the case. When the other Immortal Army arrives, even if they manage to wipe out the wolfmen in the Illusionary Swamp, the immortal crystal mine here will be taken over by someone else. In addition, it's easier to invite a god than to send them away. Now that we've invited them over, it won't be so easy to send them away. Who knows, they might even continue to plant their roots here."
"That's the higher-ups' plan. Even if they take over the immortal crystal mine, they'll benefit greatly. Even if we fight with our lives on the line, we won't necessarily be able to gain much."
