Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1754: Chapter 1346: The Bet

“Of course, besides the individual stalls, there are also several shops directly operated by the commerce association. Although the prices are slightly higher, there is no deception, and the authenticity of the Spiritual Objects is guaranteed.”

“The most noteworthy among them is the betting house! All the Spiritual Objects inside are wrapped in a special Spirit Stone, along with a Formation that suppresses Divine Sense, so even a Taoist Monarch with Great Ability cannot see through the Spiritual Objects inside.”

“Someone once bought a Daluo Spiritual Object for the price of ten Spirit Crystals, instantly gaining tens of thousands of times the profit! If you’re interested, you might as well give it a try.”

Li Zhirui’s expression didn’t change at all; he didn’t believe such sudden wealth would happen to him.

Moreover, who knows how many tricks are hidden within? Those stories of winning big with small bets might just be intentionally spread by the betting house.

“Our Chaos Commerce treats people sincerely and would never do those underhanded tricks.”

The mysterious person said meaningfully, and then continued, “Remember, you can’t make a move inside the hall, otherwise, regardless of your identity or strength, you will be expelled. If you damage any item inside the hall, you must compensate a hundredfold. If you can’t, then you must serve the commerce until the debt is cleared.”

“Well, that’s all I have to say. The rest is up to you to explore.”

Li Zhirui respectfully gave a bow and said, “Thank you, Senior Wan Zhu!”

When he straightened up, the figure had already disappeared.

In a place Li Zhirui couldn’t see, Wan Zhu stood side by side with another mysterious person.

“For a prestigious Store Manager with the surname Wan to personally entertain a mere Earth Immortal, people would be shocked and unbelieving if they heard.” The mysterious person joked.

Within the Chaos Commerce, there are four ranks: heavenly stems, earthly branches, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand, with the Wan rank being the highest.

However, the ranking is not determined by Cultivation, but by how many Spiritual Objects are sold and how much profit is brought to the commerce.

The resources and connections a Wan rank Store Manager has command respect even from a Taiyi Great Ability, yet they went to entertain an Earth Immortal Cultivator!

It’s known that there are three great Realms between an Earth Immortal and Taiyi, an insurmountable chasm crossed by only one in a million.

But the entertained Li Zhirui had no idea of Wan Zhu’s high status, merely thinking he held some position in the commerce.

“Don’t you find it interesting? Such a small Earth Immortal, yet detected by the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall.”

Wan Zhu said softly, “In the countless years since the commerce was established, how many times has this happened? And what kind of renown and accomplishments have those individuals achieved?”

Even if some perished midway, they were unparalleled geniuses while alive!

“Grasping the opportunity now requires no cost, forming a good relationship. Trying to associate later wouldn’t be as easy!”

Saying this, Wan Zhu glanced at his dazed companion, shook his head almost imperceptibly, and vanished.

Upon hearing this, the mysterious person showed a trace of regret and a bitter smile.

Over the millennia, they had overseen the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, and though both witnessed the hall’s phenomenon and saw Li Zhirui, he took no action! Even thinking Wan Zhu was busying himself with nothing.

“Alas!”

With things as they were, what else could he do but sigh?

The courtesy was already Wan Zhu’s. Going now would only be futile.

Blame lay only with his skills being inferior, paying no heed to what was obviously unusual.

Was it because of long years in retreat, even forgetting previous expertise? The mysterious person fell into contemplation.

…

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, wandering around the hall and broadening his horizons, was unaware that he had prompted reflection from a Great Ability.

Initially thinking himself well-informed, arriving here showed him he was but a frog in a well!

Throughout his journey, he saw countless Spiritual Objects yet recognized barely more than two handfuls, and those he recognized were among the lowest priced.

‘I thought the upgraded Primal Spirit Realm might qualify as first-class among the myriad realms, but it seems I’ve overestimated!’ Li Zhirui thought to himself.

Not knowing the Spiritual Objects or their effects or uses, and without Spirit Crystals on hand, he could only look, not purchasing any.

Li Zhirui wanted to earn some Spirit Crystals, but compared to those Spiritual Objects, what he had couldn’t even reach the market; they might not sell, after all.

‘What a pity!’ He sighed inwardly, stepping into this treasure land but leaving empty-handed in the end!

Yet he was unwilling, pondering that the only things he could offer were the “Earth Spirit Tao Record,” the “Five Viscera Hidden Secret Technique,” and using his Purification Principle to help others remove or dispel impurities and toxins within.

The first Cultivation Technique was what Li Zhirui practiced, certainly not to be sold, and no one would be interested in an Earth Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique anyway. Who among them isn’t above his Realm?

However, he could separately sell the Methods to open the internal world, enhancing their strength.

The second Secret Technique was supplementary, helping the internal world perfect and stabilize quickly, though still not perfect.
