Chapter 71 Bet
Lei Ting didn’t care about the Yuan Force pills and she also had no use for them, the thing she liked was precisely this feeling of exhilaration.
Tuoba Ye could only give a bitter laugh when he saw Lei Ting’s train of thoughts.
He indeed had other informations, like the Divine Root in his body, previous life’s memories, Divine Punishment Jade talisman concealed in his body, these were secrets which couldn’t be told to others.
These secrets absolutely could not be exchanged for money.
If the information of his Divine Root spread, then he would probably be besieged by all the cultivators of the Shenwu Continent, just like in his previous life. But at present, he was unable to utilize the Divine Punishment Jade talisman so it would be impossible to deal with his enemies the same way he did in his previous life.
“My biggest secret has already been scooped out by you, what other cards can I have?” Tuoba Ye shook his head.
“You definitely have other cards, even if you don’t tell me, I will slowly figure it out.” Lei Ting held her head high, she had full confidence.
She already decided to follow beside Tuoba Ye and dig out his secrets.
“Lei Ting, there are two days before the year-end great tournament, are you participating?” Tuoba Ye changed the subject.
“It is boring, I am not participating!” Lei Ting had no interest in it.
She was clear that in case she competed, others would probably surrender before her and that kind of victory, even if she got the championship, had no meaning.
Lei Ting was young but her mind was very mature.
Tuoba Ye felt it strange: “Lei Ting, don’t you like excitement? The tournament should be able to handle your appetite.”
“Only boys like competing in tournaments, how can I like it!?” Lei Ting gave a rather far-fetched justification but it was passable.
Tuoba Ye didn’t nag about it, he guessed Lei Ting’s identity was not simple, she should be a descendant of someone with very high position in the Pill Cauldron sect. As long as he became an inner disciple, he would be able to learn it. The two didn’t speak and the atmosphere became somewhat constrained.
Right at this moment, Yang Bin quickly walked over: “Leader, people are opening betting booths for the year-end great tournament, betting on who will win the championship. Reportedly, after the lots drawing for the tournament is finished, there will be bets for every battle. Of course, when those championship favorites compete, if their opponent is too weak, then there won’t be any betting.”
He paused and continued to speak: “The bets for who wins the championship must be laid down before the tournament begins and the odds rates are already out. Leader, you are a popular figure but many clearly don’t believe you can win the championship so the odds on you are very high.”
“Oh! How much is my odds ratio?” Tuoba Ye immediately became interested.
He was worrying about insufficient Yuan Force pills, if he could win the bet then that problem would be resolved.
“Leader, the odds on you are forty to one, those people intentionally made your odds so high, I am guessing they want to take this advantage to earn more Yuan Force pills.” said Yang Bin.
“Bets are only with Yuan Force pills?” Tuoba Ye asked.
He didn’t have much Yuan Force pills; only five hundred and fifty.
If he put them all down on him winning the championship and if he really won then he could receive over twenty thousand Yuan Force pills, in a short while which was pretty good.
But, Tuoba Ye had full confidence on his victory so he naturally wanted to earn more. This kind of opportunity was rare, he couldn’t miss it.
“Bets can only be made with Yuan Force pills, seems like Yuan Force pills are cultivation world’s currency.” said Yang Bin.
“Yang Bin, you make our members get Yuan Force pills, the more the better and put them all on me winning the championship. Since miss Lei Ting created a buzz, we naturally can’t appear weak.” Tuoba Ye thought and said.
He had ten million gold coins, even if he used them all to buy Yuan Force pills, it wouldn’t be many.
Mythic group’s outer members had much better financial conditions, they could buy some Yuan Force pills.
He continued to speak: “This is voluntary, we cannot compel anyone.”
“Leader, it seems you have full confidence. I also want to put this five hundred and fifty Yuan Force pills on you.” Lei Ting said, smiling.
“Miss Lei Ting, are you not afraid of losing it?” Tuoba Ye asked.
“If lost then lost, I got it gratuitously, anyway. I won’t feel distressed on losing it.” Lei Ting smiled.
Tuoba Ye considered and spoke: “Miss Lei Ting, I know you have your channels, can you help me exchange some Yuan Force pills?”
“Of course, there is no problem.” Lei Ting agreed without any hesitation.
“Can Essence Gold be used to exchange Yuan Force pills?” Tuoba Ye asked.
If he directly took out ten million gold coins, it would be too shocking and others would quickly know he possessed interspatial artifact. With his strength, he wouldn’t be able to keep the interspatial artifact, if that happens. So, he wanted to deal with Essence Gold and think of some ways to extract Essence Gold from the gold coins, later.
“Of course. Essence Gold is much more valuable than gold coins and it is also a lot easier to exchange for Yuan Force pills.” Lei Ting said. She was somewhat curious about Tuoba Ye, how could a new outer sect disciple have Essence Gold, but she didn’t inquire.
Tuoba Ye said: “Wait a while, I will go bring the Essence Gold.”
He needed to take out the Essence Gold from his Cosmos ring and he naturally couldn’t let Yang Bin and Lei Ting know about it.
Entering the wooden cabin, Tuoba Ye took out two Essence Gold. This was a rare chance, he wanted to exchange for more Yuan Force pills and wager them.
He gave the two Essence Gold to Lei Ting and said: “Lei Ting, I brought these from my home to exchange for Spirit tool, you help me exchange them for a little more Yuan Force pills.”
Lei Ting saw the Essence Gold and said: “If you exchanged these two Essence Gold, you would at most get three hundred Yuan Force pills. I will personally go exchange them, you will atleast get five hundred Yuan Force pills.”
“Really? That is great!” Tuoba Ye was excited.
It was not only just two hundred more Yuan Force pills, if all of it was put on him and he won the championship, it would give him eight thousand Yuan Force pills.
Eight thousand Yuan Force pills were not a small number, they could be used to buy a lot of treasures.
“Leader, I will immediately go exchange them for Yuan Force pills.” Lei Ting was very energetic and immediately moved.
Yang Bin also took his leave: “Leader, I will go gather outer members and see if they can gather more gold coins for Yuan Force pills.”
“Okay but don’t force anyone.” Tuoba Ye reminded.
After Yang Bin left, Tuoba Ye went to take a look at his medicinal garden.
He was already familiar with Spirit medicines but his medicinal garden was taken care of by others and he rarely attended to it.
Looking at those Spirit medicines, his whole body felt calm.
“It seems I will have to attend the Spirit medicines myself in the future. Seems like getting close to them can purify the mind which will be beneficial to cultivation.”
He took care of the medicinal garden for a while and then proceeded with his cultivation.
Next day, Lei Ting and Yang Bin, almost at the same time, found Tuoba Ye.
“Leader, you wanted me to exchange the Essence Gold, I exchanged them for altogether six hundred Yuan Force pills.” Lei Ting took out the pills.
“So many Yuan Force pills!” Tuoba Ye was pleasantly surprised: “Lei Ting, thank you so much.”
He got more than what he expected so he, naturally, was happy.
“I also am a member of the Mythic group, so I, naturally, have to help.” said Lei Ting.
“Leader, we were also able to gather a lot of Yuan Force pills, altogether there are twenty-three hundred Yuan Force pills.” said Yang Bin.
Tuoba Ye was shocked: “How could you collect so many Yuan Force pills?”
Yang Bin smiled: “It has not been long since everyone received their Yuan Force pills and not all were used up. The Yuan Force pills are all here.”
“Yang Bin, take these Yuan Force pills and wager them personally.” said Tuoba Ye.
There was one more day before the tournament, he still wanted to cultivate and not distracted.
“Yang Bin, help me wager my Yuan Force pills too, wager them all on the leader winning the championship.” Lei Ting conveniently threw the Yuan Force pills to Yang Bin, she didn’t care even a little about the five hundred and fifty Yuan Force pills.
Yang Bin saw his hand was holding four thousand Yuan Force pills, in a short while. His body trembled a little: “You are handing over so many Yuan Force pills to me?”
“I don’t have time to go, you take several more people with you to go wager, okay?” said Tuoba Ye.
Lei Ting said: “Don’t worry, this is Immortal Clouds valley, no one will dare to meddle.”
“Leader, miss Lei Ting, are you not afraid I will leave with these Yuan Force pills?” Yang Bin smiled.
Tuoba Ye smiled: “If you run away with the Yuan Force pills, then it would be my mistake in judging people. If four thousand Yuan Force pills is enough to be clear about someone, I feel it will still be worthwhile.”
“Leader, thank you for your trust. I will immediately go wager it.” Yang Bin was grateful.
After Yang Bin left, Lei Ting said: “Leader, you are so confident that you are actually betting all the money on yourself!”
“You proclaimed everywhere that I want to fight for the championship so if I don’t get the championship, wouldn’t I be letting you down?” said Tuoba Ye.
“Letting me down, how so?” Lei Ting was puzzled.
“If I don’t get the championship, it’s true that I will be ridiculed and since you proclaimed that I am sure to win the championship, you will also be dragged down with me.” said Tuoba Ye.
Lei Ting immediately became somewhat embarrassed, she originally wanted to humiliate Tuoba Ye but he still was considerate of her, this made her feel somewhat guilty in the depths of her heart.
Seeing Lei Ting lost for words, Tuoba Ye knew her thoughts so he didn’t speak any more so as not to spill the beans.
From Lei Ting’s behavior, although she was somewhat weird but she was not a person with bad conscience, so her character could be regarded as pretty good.
“Leader, speak honestly, are you really sure in winning the championship?” Lei Ting said seriously.
“Why? You still want to add bets!?” Tuoba Ye immediately reacted.
“That’s right, those people who open the betting booths earn huge amount of Yuan Force pills every time, I just want to get back a little from them.” said Lei Ting.
Tuoba Ye said: “Lei Ting, you should know how ferocious body refining cultivators are, right?”
“Of course!”
“I have already achieved initial success in body refining field, so I will definitely win the championship, unless my opponent is a Lianqi expert. There shouldn’t be other body refining cultivators among the outer sect disciples, right?” said Tuoba Ye.
Anyway, he didn’t have any relations to those who opened the betting booths, Lei Ting wanted to profit some more, he naturally was not opposed to it.
If he had more Yuan Force pills, he would still have wanted to bet them.
“You are so young but you have actually achieved initial success in body refining!?” Lei Ting was shocked.
Tuoba Ye smiled: “Lei Ting, you must keep this confidential, otherwise, some people will especially try to get at me and maybe I won’t have a chance at the championship. Whether I win the championship or not, doesn’t matter but I can’t squander our Mythic group’s Yuan Force pills.”
“Leader, don’t worry. I still intend to put in two thousand Yuan Force pills and I also don’t want to lose my money.” Lei Ting smiled.
