I Started As the Qin Family Patriarch and Was Bound to the Selection System

bettingThe Grey-Robed Old Man looked surprised, a bright smile appearing on his face; he hadn’t expected anyone to bet on Qin Yi, as this was equivalent to giving Immortal Stones away to the Su Family Bank for free.

After quickly recording Immortal Lord Huoyun’s betting information, he handed a purple jade token to Immortal Lord Huoyun.

Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed through the eyes of the surrounding Cultivators, followed by mocking laughter.

”It’s too funny; someone is actually betting on Qin Yi, thinking that Qin Yi can take first place in the tiger ranking.”

”Indeed, they are just wasting Immortal Stones. Since Qin Yi is only a Cultivator from the Southwest Region, how could he possibly win first place in the tiger ranking?”

”I know Ziyang Immortal Palace and the Fire Cloud Immortal Sect; they seem to be factions from the Southwest Region. No wonder they would bet on Qin Yi to win first place in the tiger ranking.”

Immortal Lord Huoyun looked unconvinced and retorted, ”You don’t understand Qin Yi’s strength at all. Just wait for the Tiger Ranking Competition.”

”It will definitely give you all a big surprise.”

Some Cultivators shook their heads, thinking to themselves that the Cultivators from the Southwest Region were still too narrow-minded; although Qin Yi’s cultivation had luckily reached the Ninth Level Immortal King Realm, it was impossible for him to compete against Ninth Level Immortal King Realm experts like Zhan Tianhen.

Because the Ranks of the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills they practiced were far beyond what any Cultivator from the Southwest Region could compare to.

At this moment, Qin Yi and Hei Nantian walked in, stepping forward to the stone table.

Immortal Lord Ziyang smiled slightly and said, ”Qin Yi, you have also come to place a bet.”

Qin Yi nodded and said, ”That’s right. I learned that the Su Family Bank has opened a betting pool for the dragon and tiger ranking list.”

”So I came over, prepared to bet on myself.”

Then, he looked at the Grey-Robed Old Man and placed a spatial ring on the table.

”There are ten thousand immortal source stones in here, all bet on Qin Yi.”

The Grey-Robed Old Man’s eyes were filled with surprise. He had heard the conversation between Immortal Lord Ziyang and Qin Yi clearly; he hadn’t expected the Black-Robed Cultivator before him to be the Qin Yi who had been causing such a stir recently.

Moreover, Qin Yi was so confident, taking out ten thousand immortal source stones to bet on himself.

The Grey-Robed Old Man nodded and said, ”Very well. If you win first place in the tiger ranking, you can use this gold jade token to collect one hundred and fifty thousand immortal source stones.”

Then, he wrote down Qin Yi’s betting information and handed a gold jade token to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi held the gold jade token with a look of regret. He had only brought ten thousand immortal source stones when he left the Qin Family this time; otherwise, he could have collected even more immortal source stones after the Tiger Ranking Competition ended.

Looking at Qin Yi’s confident appearance, the surrounding Cultivators wore puzzled expressions, unable to help but think to themselves: Is this Qin Yi really that confident in his own strength? He actually bet ten thousand immortal source stones on himself.

A moment later, the Cultivators shook their heads, thinking that Qin Yi was too arrogant to even think about defeating the Ninth Level Immortal King Realm expert, Zhan Tianhen.

Suddenly, Huang Jiyun, dressed in a gold robe, walked in with large strides, followed by Huang Jiyi.

Seeing this, the surrounding Cultivators wore fawning smiles and spoke one after another, ”Greetings, Family Head Huangji.”

”With Family Head Huangji’s powerful strength, you will easily be able to take first place in the dragon ranking.”

”That’s right, Family Head Huangji has come to the Su Family Bank, surely to bet on himself.”

Huang Jiyun ignored these Cultivators and walked straight to Qin Yi, cupping his hands and saying with a smile, ”You must be the Qin Family Head, Qin Yi. You are truly worthy of being the master of the Divine Dragon Beast; you certainly have an impressive appearance.”

”I am the head of the Huangji Aristocratic Family, Huang Jiyun.”

A trace of surprise flashed in Qin Yi’s eyes. He didn’t understand why Huang Jiyun, a Sixth Level Immortal Venerable Realm expert, had taken the initiative to come over and greet him.

However, it seemed that Huang Jiyun had no ill intentions. Qin Yi cupped his hands and said with a smile, ”Family Head Huangji is too kind with the praise; I just happened to obtain ten Immortal King Realm Divine Dragon Beasts by luck.”

”As for Family Head Huangji, as a Sixth Level Immortal Venerable Realm expert, you are a renowned figure throughout the Beiming Immortal Kingdom.”

”I have also heard of your great name.”

Huang Jiyun laughed loudly and said, ”Patriarch Qin, you are too humble.”

”With your talent for Cultivation, catching up to me will be easy.”

Qin Yi did not refute this; his cultivation would soon break through to the Sixth Level Immortal Venerable Realm.

Seeing this, the surrounding Cultivators looked shocked, rubbing their eyes, unable to believe it in their hearts. Huang Jiyun had actually taken the initiative to greet Qin Yi, and judging by his attitude, he seemed to intend to befriend Qin Yi.

This was too unbelievable; Huang Jiyun, a Sixth Level Immortal Venerable Realm expert, was actually actively befriending a Ninth Level Immortal King Realm Cultivator.

As for Immortal Lord Ziyang and the others, they were shocked, thinking to themselves: When did Qin Yi become so formidable that even a Sixth Level Immortal Venerable Realm expert would come over to personally befriend him?

Huang Jiyun looked at the Grey-Robed Old Man and placed a spatial ring on the table.

”There are one hundred thousand immortal source stones in the spatial ring, all bet on Qin Yi.”

The Grey-Robed Old Man’s eyes showed confusion; he did not understand why Huang Jiyun would bet on Qin Yi.

However, he dared not delay and quickly wrote down Huang Jiyun’s betting information.

Then, the Grey-Robed Old Man looked respectful as he handed over a gold jade token.

”Family Head Huangji, this is your betting receipt.”

”If Qin Yi wins first place in the tiger ranking, you can use this gold jade token.”

”Come to my Su Family Bank to collect one million five hundred thousand immortal source stones.”

*Hiss.* The surrounding Cultivators couldn’t help but gasp, their faces full of shock.

They spoke one after another, ”What? Family Head Huangji thinks so highly of Qin Yi? He actually bet all one hundred thousand immortal source stones on Qin Yi.”

”Indeed, I thought Family Head Huangji had come to the Su Family Bank to bet on himself to earn Immortal Stones, but I didn’t expect him to bet on Qin Yi.”

”It’s too incredible. Although Qin Yi is the master of ten Immortal King Realm Divine Dragon Beasts, Family Head Huangji thinks too highly of Qin Yi.”

Qin Yi’s eyes showed surprise, and a sense of vigilance toward Huang Jiyun arose in his heart. Looking at Huang Jiyun’s confident appearance, it was as if he knew Qin Yi’s true strength and felt that Qin Yi would definitely be able to take first place in the tiger ranking.

This gave Qin Yi a premonition that Huang Jiyun had definitely investigated him in secret.

Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out.

”Huang Jiyun, you are, after all, a Sixth Level Immortal Venerable Realm expert. To actually take the initiative to befriend Qin Yi, you have truly lost face for us Immortal Venerable Experts.”

The crowd looked shocked; who could be so bold as to dare to mock Huang Jiyun?

Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw the Sect Master of the Qiantian Immortal Sect walking over, followed by three Cultivators.

Among them, two were Old Men in White Robe who were Immortal Venerable Realm experts, and the other was a middle-aged man in a white robe who was a Ninth Level Immortal King Realm expert.

Huang Jiyun’s expression turned ugly as he said, ”Qian Yuan, it is not your place to point fingers at what I do.”

”If you want to look for trouble, I will definitely make you regret it during the Dragon Ranking Competition.”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Qian Yuan’s eyes as he smiled slightly and said, ”Huang Jiyun, I didn’t come over here to look for trouble with you.”

”I am just kindly reminding you that a Ninth Level Immortal King Realm Cultivator like Qin Yi is not worth you befriending.”

Huang Jiyun snorted coldly and said, ”Qian Yuan, don’t meddle in other people’s business here. It is not up to you to decide who I want to befriend.”
