Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Unicorn Arrives
Wang Xiaoran got the bye number ball again, which made many people feel uncomfortable, with only one exception, that is, Mo Wentian, the head of the Fairy Sword Sect who won the bet.
"Haha, it seems that the goddess of luck not only favored this disciple, but also favored the deity, so she is reckless, don't hurry up to fulfill the gambling contract, and hand over the piece of mixed yuan gold crystal in your hand to me. Mo Wentian looked as if he had eaten stool, and his ugly face stretched out his hand and laughed.
"Hmph, it's shit luck. He muttered unhappily, and reached out to throw a palm-sized transparent crystal at Mo Wentian.
Mo Wentian grabbed the transparent crystal that Li Jiun threw over, and then carefully received it into his inner world.
The sect leaders sitting around all looked at Mo Wentian with envy, but in this envious expression, there were a few people mixed with a trace of jealousy.
"Hmph, Mo Lao Wei, do you have the courage to continue to gamble with me?" Li Jiru, who had just lost the bet, was a little unhappy and invited Mo Wentian again.
"How do you want to bet?" Mo Wentian did not say whether he would bet or not, but directly asked Li Jiun how he wanted to bet.
"You also know how deep the grievances between my Ancient Poison Sect and your Immortal Sword Sect are, and because of this, not only is there no communication between our two sects on weekdays, but even the various cultivation resources that will help each other improve their strength are firmly in their own hands, and they will not trade with other sects.
In this way, let's make a big bet this time, just bet on where this disciple will go in the end? Whoever guesses is counted as the winner, if he doesn't guess correctly, then whoever guesses closer will be counted as the winner, the bet is five hundred heaven-level cultivation materials, and the losing party is allowed to ask for it?"
This time, the gambling contract made all the people in power present unable to calm down, the Heavenly Rank cultivation materials, as the name suggests, are cultivation resources that are useful to all masters of the Heavenly Realm cultivation, and the entire cultivation world can't find too many such things, Li Jiru actually pressed five hundred pieces of a gambling contract, and he couldn't help but feel that these people in power were not calm.
"Li Jiru, are you sure you're not talking nonsense? Five hundred pieces of Heaven Rank materials is not a small number, even if you are the Sect Master of the Ancient Poison Sect, you don't have the right to call it, right?"
The cultivation materials in the cultivation world are roughly divided into four grades, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, which just correspond to the four major cultivation stages of the cultivation realm, the mortal realm, the spiritual realm, the divine realm, and the heavenly realm, among which the yellow rank is the worst, and the heavenly rank is the best, and each grade is divided into four levels: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and best grade.
In addition to these four grades, there are also two grades, one is the mortal rank and the other is the immortal rank.
Needless to say, the mortal rank is nothing more than a good thing in the eyes of some ordinary people, and for cultivators in the cultivation world, its usefulness can almost be said to be zero.
As for the immortal rank, it is another grade above the heaven-level materials, and most of the immortal-level materials are produced in chaos, so every immortal-level material will have a mixed word in its name, and the mixed yuan golden crystal is one of the immortal-level materials.
Immortal-level materials seem to be much more precious than heavenly materials, but the number of immortal-level materials is extremely small, and among the immortal-level materials found, only Liao Liao can be used by people, and more of them are still lying quietly in the hands of those cultivators who collect them like a waste product.
And the heaven-level materials are different, although the heaven-level materials are also rare, but there is still a certain inventory in each sect, these are the heritage of the sect, and all the uses of the heaven-level materials in all aspects have basically been excavated, it can be said that these heaven-level materials can be maximized as soon as possible in the hands of any sect.
Five hundred pieces of heaven-level materials are not only available to the Immortal Sword Sect and the Ancient Poison Sect, but every sect present can take them out, but at the same time, it also hollows out the family foundations of the major sects, and the heaven-level materials in these sects are all emergency materials used in case of emergency, which is not enough on weekdays, let alone used as a bet.
It was only the Immortal Sword Sect and the Ancient Poison Sect that had always been incompatible that there were so many useless Heaven Rank materials hidden in them, and because of this, the overall strength of the two sects could only be ranked at the upper middle level in the cultivation world.
No sect has a large amount of useless top-level materials hidden inside, but if it is not digested for a long time, it is impossible to quickly improve the strength of its own sect, and the overall strength of the two sects of the Immortal Sword Sect and the Ancient Poison Sect can still be maintained at the upper middle level in the cultivation world, and most of the reason lies in the two people in power.
If it weren't for the fact that the strength of these two powerful people was firmly in the top ten among the cultivators who had reached the Heavenly Realm, in terms of the overall strength of the rest of their two sects, they would be on par with those middle-strength sects at the bottom.
Originally, the other sects were very happy to see the status quo of the two sects, the Asking Immortal Sword Sect and the Ancient Poison Sect, but now the sect leader of the Ancient Poison Sect was going to make such a big bet with Mo Wentian, the head of the Asking Immortal Sword Sect, with five hundred pieces of heaven-level materials, which made the heads of these sects present feel a little uneasy.
No matter which side wins this bet, they will get five hundred required Heaven Rank materials from the hand of the losing party, and after the winning side has digested all the five hundred Heaven Rank materials they won, the strength of their sect will definitely be one or two steps higher, which is definitely not a good thing for other sects.
At the same time, this incident also reminded other sects of the awakening, that is, the heaven-level materials required by these sects are already extremely rare in the cultivation world, and they may have to eat their old books from one day in the future, but the Immortal Sword Sect and the Ancient Poison Sect are different, many of the heaven-level materials they need are controlled by the other sect, in case the two sects communicate with each other one day, then the materials required by these two sects are not only not scarce, but can even be regarded as abundant.
With abundant resources, the overall strength of these two sects will surpass the major sects present in a short period of time, and the cultivation world will very likely become the world of their two sects at that time.
"It can't be that the ancestors of these two sects have long expected that there will be such a day and deliberately discuss such a way to accumulate resources for each other, right?"
After all, the reason for the disagreement between the two sects is still a mystery, and this idea also holds up to a certain extent, and when they think of the credibility of this idea, the heads of the sects present can't help but shiver involuntarily, and they are invisibly wary of Mo Wentian and Li Jiru.
"Don't worry, I don't have any other abilities, when it comes to talking about words, I think that there are few people in the entire cultivation world who can catch up with me, so you just say bet or not?"
"Okay, since your Gu Great Sect Master has said so, if I don't dodge it again, won't I be ridiculed by others in the future.
It's just that the bet is a bit big, don't show the bet, just say with empty teeth, I believe that neither of us can trust each other, why don't we take out the bet and hand it over to the owner of the hidden door for safekeeping, and after the gambling contract is over, how about the owner of the hidden door hand over the bet to the winner?" Mo Wentian agreed to the gambling contract proposed by Li Jiruo, and at the same time, he also put forward his own requirements by the way.
This request is reasonable to the ears of those in power present, such a big bet, no one will bet on the other party's character, absolutely to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
In this place, the only one who can truly be fair is the master of the Hidden Gate, after all, this is in the Hidden Gate, even if the stakes of this bet are so big that it is heartwarming, for the face of the Hidden Gate, and for his reputation as the first person in the cultivation world, the Master of the Hidden Gate will never make any moves that damage the Hidden Gate and his reputation.
"Okay, it's up to you. Li Jiluo nodded without any opinion, and decisively reached out to the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the first row of Taishi's chair and threw out a ring.
At the same time, Mo Wentian also threw a ring towards the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the first row.
The middle-aged man's eyes were on the Sendai of the competition from beginning to end, but at the moment when Mo Wentian and Li Jiun threw out the ring at him, he stretched out his right arm and slashed a semicircle in the air, and the two rings obediently fell into the hands of the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is the number one master in today's cultivation world, the master of the hidden door, no one knows if the middle-aged man's current appearance is his true face, according to rumors in the cultivation world, the master of the hidden door has a total of three appearances in front of everyone, one is a young face, one is an old face, and the other is the current middle-aged face.
"The bets of both of you are in my hands, I took a general look, there are about three thousand Heaven Rank materials in each of these two rings, and after the bet is over, the winner's side will inform me of the five hundred Heaven Rank materials they need, and I will take them to him. The master of the Hidden Gate put away the two rings that Mo Wentian and Li Jiun had given him, his face was calm, and his lips moved slightly.
"Whew! Three thousand pieces of heaven-rank materials!"
The words of the master of the Hidden Sect set off a burst of sighs from everyone present, they had already guessed that the two sects of the Immortal Sword Sect and the Ancient Poison Sect had a large number of Heaven Rank materials required by the other sect, but they never thought that this amount would be so amazing.
Originally, Li Jiru's proposal to bet on about 500 Heavenly Rank Materials had already made the people in power panic, which was already equivalent to more than half of the total amount of Heavenly Rank Materials collected by their sects, and even some weak sects did not have so many materials.
And the three thousand pieces of Heaven Rank materials are already equivalent to the sum of the internal collections of four or five sects, that is to say, if the two major sects of the Immortal Sword Sect and the Ancient Poison Sect exchange the three thousand pieces of Heaven Rank materials in their hands, these two sects will be able to use the Heaven Rank materials to improve the strength of the sect in the next few decades or even a hundred years.
This is simply a fatal temptation for those of them who now have to make various calculations every year on how to use the Heavenly Rank materials in the sect and live a tight life, if it weren't for the fact that the Hidden Sect Master, the number one master in the cultivation world, is sitting here, plus Mo Wentian and Li Jiluo themselves are extremely powerful, maybe they can't help but join forces to seize this cultivation resource of a total of 6,000 Heavenly Rank Materials.
"Hehe, since the bet has been established, then let's not procrastinate, let's say what we think of this disciple, I think this disciple is also lucky, luckily advanced to the top thirteen, and finally being able to achieve the thirteenth place is already his dream ranking. Li Jiqi was the first to express his opinion.
This view is not to say that it is unruly, anyone in power present can see it, and no one expected that Li Jiun would be so cunning, and take the lead to tell the fact that Wang Xiaoran's final ranking is thirteenth.
Li Jireo has already said that Wang Xiaoran's final ranking is thirteenth, of course, Mo Wentian has no way to set Wang Xiaoran's ranking at the thirteenth place like Li Jiruo, in this case, this bet is meaningless, and, judging from the relationship between Mo Wentian and Li Jiruo, Mo Wentian will not only not set Wang Xiaoran's final ranking at the thirteenth place, but it is even very likely that Wang Xiaoran's final ranking will be positioned in the top few rankings.
"I think that this disciple's final ranking should be in the top five, as for the specific number of places I can go to, I can't be sure, anyway, he should at least be able to reach the good ranking of fifth place. Sure enough, Mo Wentian not only did not say Wang Xiaoran's final ranking, but directly set it in the top five.
"Haha, I said Mo Lao Wei, you can't have drunk too much last night and haven't come to your senses until now, right? At least fifth, did you take into account the gap in cultivation between him and the other disciples when you said this? In addition to him, the cultivation of the other twelve disciples in the top thirteen is at least at the realm of the early stage of Huadan. Li unruly and confidently mocked Mo Wentian.
In the few minutes they were talking, the first twelve disciples who were going to compete on Sendai had already stood on them one after another, and with the great power and strength of their Heavenly Realm, they could clearly feel the strength of these twelve groups of disciples who were competing with a sweep of their eyes.
The third round of the competition is more sufficient, in this round of the competition, there are a total of three groups of disciples who are in the early stage of Huadan, one of them is still the tenth place of the top ten Tianjiao Zhou Sikai and the duel between the eleventh Han Qi in the past, this competition can be described as the most exciting competition before the final ranking match.
In other words, although Li Jiluo mocked Mo Wentian very confidently, but when he saw the smile inadvertently revealed at the corner of Mo Wentian's mouth, Li Jiun couldn't stop drumming in his heart.
As old rivals for many years, the two can be said to know each other well, when he proposed this bet before, he never thought that Mo Wentian would agree, in order to ridicule Mo Wentian after refusing, but who thought that Mo Wentian would unexpectedly agree to the bet he proposed, at that time, Li Ji's heart was a little uncertain.
However, at that time, Li Jiluo thought that Mo Wentian would be the same as himself, and he was ready to make a time difference and tell the result of Wang Xiaoran's thirteenth place before himself, so he preemptively said his opinion at the moment when the master of the Hidden Gate had just accepted the heaven-level materials handed over by himself and Mo Wentian.
Now it seems that Mo Wentian had a certain idea of Wang Xiaoran's final ranking in this big competition from the moment he agreed to his bet from the beginning, otherwise he would not have said the top five so surely, after all, this statement is too fantastical.
"No, there must be something I haven't noticed, there must be!" The more Li Jiun thought about it, the more he felt that he had neglected some important clues, and his originally confident mentality slowly became unconfident.
What Li Jiluo didn't notice was that not only did Mo Wentian have a confident smile on the corner of his mouth when he accepted the bet, but even the master of the Hidden Sect had a slight change in his face after Mo Wentian said the idea that Wang Xiaoran would enter the top five.
This side is betting on where Wang Xiaoran will go in the end, Wang Xiaoran's face is uncertain Looking at the Sendai where the three groups of early stage disciples of the Hua Dan compete, the difference in strength between the three groups of early stage disciples of the Hua Dan is very small, and no one dares to say that they will win.
This is not the main problem, the main problem lies in the strength shown by these three groups of disciples in the early stage of Huadan, it may be that these disciples who can break through to the realm of Huadan in three years are all true geniuses, and they are very quick to start cultivating in all aspects, especially the exercise cheats in attack and defense, and they are even more suitable for their own exercises to cultivate to the perfect realm at their fingertips.
These cultivation to the consummation realm of the practice cheats, in their hands can be big or small, it is just a matter of how much energy is consumed, according to the degree of the opponent's shot, the use of energy is completely under their control, there will be no waste of excess energy.
Controlling the energy in your body to avoid wasting is not to ensure your endurance during battle, but to ensure that the energy in your body is sufficient at all times, which is enough to allow you to hit the biggest blow of the exercise cheats.
The power of this kind of maximum blow, which was played by a cultivator in the Huadan realm, was basically comparable to the ordinary attack of a mid-stage cultivator in the Divine Realm, and if it was combined with some special means, it could even be comparable to the ordinary attack of a cultivator in the early stage of Divine Fusion, but this kind of maximum blow required a lot of preparation time, and they would not easily do anything.
The three groups of early stage cultivators who were now competing, firstly, were not sure that their biggest blow would win, secondly, they did not have enough time to prepare, and thirdly, they did not want to do their best because of this competition, so that they could not conduct the next competition.
Therefore, the early stage cultivators of these three groups of Huadan accurately controlled their every move and style, not allowing themselves to waste a little bit of energy, and at the same time, they paid attention to the opponent's movements, hoping to find out the flaws in them and win in one fell swoop.
"Boy, how is it, don't you have any confidence to defeat them?" Just when Wang Xiaoran was constantly estimating in his heart what kind of means he had to support these disciples of the Huadan realm, after all, only by ensuring that he was undefeated could he think about how to win, a familiar voice came from Wang Xiaoran's right shoulder.
Immediately after, Wang Xiaoran felt that his shoulders sank, and a strange creature the size of a rabbit, with a unicorn body and a dragon's tail lay on Wang Xiaoran's shoulder.
"Unicorn beast?" Wang looked at the strange creature lying on his shoulder, and let out a surprise sound.
