My Master Knows It All

504: 182_1 504: 182_1 Cao Zhen loathed Star Lord Hao Yue to death.

If it were not for Star Lord Hao Yue, who publicly declared him a reincarnated Great Ability, others might guess he was a reincarnated Great Ability but would have no concrete evidence, and his betting odds would not be so low.

As a result, once the universally acknowledged reincarnated Great Ability, Star Lord Hao Yue, directly stated he was a reincarnated Great Ability, everyone believed it.

Consequently, the odds of him winning the championship dropped to a mere one to three.

How much money this would cause him to lose!

Yet he had no other choice but to place bets on himself winning first place.

“Yi Sheng, how much money do we have?

Take out all the money for your master.” Cao Zhen extended his hand toward Yi Sheng.

“Master, here are Spiritual Crystal Tickets worth a hundred thousand, and the rest are Spiritual Stone Tickets amounting to forty million.” Upon hearing his master ask for money, Yi Sheng quickly took out all the money he had brought along.

“That much?

I remember I took some money before; it really shouldn’t add up to forty million Spirit Stones, right?

Are our talisman sales really that brisk?” Cao Zhen looked at the Spiritual Stone Tickets in his hand, somewhat stunned.

Previously, through the bets on the Hundred Peaks Sect competition, he had earned a hundred thousand in Spiritual Crystal Tickets and forty-one million Spirit Stones.

However, he had since handed out quite a few Spirit Stones and spent a portion as well.

He hadn’t calculated the exact amount spent, but he was sure it definitely wasn’t as much as forty million Spirit Stones.

But the money Yi Sheng returned to him, aside from those hundred thousand Spiritual Crystals, had again reached forty million Spirit Stones.

Yi Sheng spoke softly, “Master, there’s actually some still left over.

Recently, with the discussions of the Tao and the upcoming Qiankun small epoch, for many reasons, our talisman business has been better than expected.

However, since the junior sisters and brothers also need to spend money from time to time, I have given each of them one million Spirit Stones.

Additionally, when Brother Xiang Ziyu left, disciple also gave him one million Spirit Stones to use, and then, disciple also set aside a portion of Spirit Stones for emergencies.”

“I see.” Cao Zhen took out the twenty million Spiritual Stone Tickets he had earned from gambling during the previous discussions and handed them to the shopkeeper in front of him, “Bet it all on Cao Zhen winning the championship.”

“Alright, esteemed guest, please wait a moment, I…” The shopkeeper took the various Spiritual Stone Tickets and Spiritual Crystal Tickets passed to him, pointed a finger, and instantly froze.

These Spiritual Stone Tickets, shockingly worth millions, some even worth a hundred thousand, and what’s more outrageous were the Spiritual Crystal Tickets…

“One hundred thousand Spiritual Crystals, sixty million Spirit Stones…

Esteemed guest, are you, are you sure you want to bet it all on Cao Zhen?

The Cao Zhen from Hundred Peaks Sect?”

He felt the need to confirm again, his tone of voice stuttering somewhat.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to earn this large amount of money; the main issue was the bet was so large he had to ask again.

This was a bet of a hundred thousand Spiritual Crystals and sixty million Spirit Stones.

Even for Tongbao Gambling House, the largest gambling establishment of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty in Capital City, it was his first time seeing someone bet such a huge sum at once.

It was said his predecessor’s predecessor had indeed seen someone bet even more money before.

The sum was frighteningly large.

Although he was not a cultivator, he knew well enough that not to mention those with a Golden Core, even some less experienced Earth Immortals might not be able to bring out this much money.

He recognized the person before him.

Their Tongbao Gambling House had two Immortals specifically responsible for conveying the latest news at the competition ground.

After all, for a gambling house, setting the odds is extremely important.

Should the news be delayed, incorrect odds might lead to huge losses.

The news that Star Lord Hao Yue said Cao Zhen was a reincarnated Great Ability was transmitted back by one of those Immortals through a certain Treasure, along with Cao Zhen’s imprinted image.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Zhen entered the gambling house, he had been observing him closely.

He had also thought that Cao Zhen’s arrival at the gambling house might be to place bets, but he never imagined that Cao Zhen would bet so much.

Other Golden Core cultivators didn’t have this much money, but Cao Zhen…

He was a reincarnated Great Ability; this money must have been prepared by him in advance, and then taken out for immediate use.

It must be so.

However, for him to take out so much money to bet on his own victory, he must be extremely confident!

Amazed in his heart, the shopkeeper hurriedly verified the authenticity of the Spiritual Stone Tickets and Spiritual Crystal Tickets.

After confirming they were genuine, he then tremulously wrote down the document.

As a gambling house open for business, they would allow anyone to place bets.

There wasn’t a rule that participants in the competition couldn’t gamble themselves.

Cao Zhen, after receiving the document, did not linger and turned around, heading out.

The shopkeeper, however, swiftly tidied up the Spirit Stone Tickets and Spiritual Crystal Tickets before heading upstairs.

As the competition for the assembly of Immortals had already begun, countless people would come to gamble once today’s session ended.

Hence, their boss was also constantly within the gambling house.

On the second floor, the shopkeeper opened a room to see a portly middle-aged man seated in the central position and quickly bowed and reported, “Boss, Cao Zhen has just come to place a bet.”

The boss immediately sat up and asked, “Cao Zhen?

Is it that Cao Zhen who has the second-lowest odds?” While he might not remember others, how could he not know about someone like Cao Zhen, who was among the top ten with the lowest odds.

“To the boss, yes, it’s that Cao Zhen, and moreover, Cao Zhen has bet a very large amount—there are a hundred thousand Spiritual Crystals and sixty million Spirit Stones.”
