Somewhere in the Ancient Desert, there were two teams of men and horses engaged in a gambling battle, one of which was led by Zhang Zijin, the grandson of the Supreme Elder of the Demon Refining Sect, and the other team was from the Yin Corpse Sect, led by Ji Gaoyang, the youngest son of the Great Elder of the Yin Corpse Sect.

Each of the two teams has a cultivator in the early stage of the transformation of the gods, Zhang Zijin and Ji Gaoyang are respectful, in order to protect their safety, the two sects each sent an elder to guard them all the way.

"Brother Zhang, in half an hour, if no one joins your team, you will lose, the eighth-order magic weapon that your grandfather gave you has been coveted for a long time, haha. Ji Gaoyang smiled triumphantly, a second ancestor like him didn't lack high-level magic weapons at all, he just wanted to lose face in the Demon Refining Sect.

The Demon Refining Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect have a long tradition of sending young disciples to the Ancient Desert for trials, and later, with the intensification of the competition between the two sects, the two trial teams also joined the gambling battle, and the content of the gambling battle was agreed by both parties on the spot.

The first battle between the two trial teams this time was to see who could get more monks to join their team before noon, whether it was coercion or inducement, both sides only looked at the results, regardless of the means.

"Brother Ji, don't be too happy, there is only one place between us. Zhang Zijin said unadmittedly, although he was tough, he still couldn't help but be anxious in his heart, he boasted in front of his grandfather that he wanted to win glory for the sect in this trial, because the Demon Refining Sect had not won a gambling battle for ten consecutive years.

A quarter of an hour passed, and at this moment, the figures of Lu Chen and Mu Qing appeared in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Zijin and Ji Gaoyang rushed in front of Lu Chen and Mu Qing almost at the same time, Lu Chen saw that the two were only mid-Yuan Infant monks, and there was no panic on his face, but Mu Qing beside him nervously sacrificed the magic weapon, with a cautious look.

"Two fellow Daoists, don't be nervous, in the Lower Yin Corpse Sect, I would like to invite you two to join our trial team. Ji Gaoyang showed a humble smile, in the past, like Lu Chen and Mu Qingyuan, the early monks couldn't enter his eyes at all, but he would be so polite when he needed to gamble today.

"I'm sorry, we still have to hurry, and we are not interested in the trials of your sect!" As soon as he heard that it was the Yin Corpse Sect, Mu Qing had no idea of joining.

Seeing the other party's lack of interest, Ji Gaoyang suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to mention the remuneration.

"Two fellow Daoists, if you have any conditions, please join the trial team of my Yin Corpse Sect. Ji Gaoyang invited again, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, obviously Mu Qing's ignorance had made this person angry.

"Two fellow Daoists, in the Demon Refining Sect Zhang Zijin, I also invite you to join our trial team. Zhang Zijin was afraid that Lu Chen and Mu Qing would agree to Ji Gaoyang, so he hurriedly spoke.

Mu Qing originally wanted to beckon Lu Chen to continue his journey, but when he heard that the other party was a cultivator of the Demon Refining Sect, and as soon as he heard the name of this person, he was still the grandson of the noble Supreme Elder Zhang Taihe, so he changed his mind, the Mu family was attached to the Demon Refining Sect, and now the main sect needed help, as a child of the Mu family, he naturally had an unshirkable responsibility.

"Meet Senior Brother Zhang, down there is Mu Qing, a disciple of the Mu family in Fengdong City. Mu Qing hurriedly saluted Zhang Zijin respectfully.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Mu, no need to be polite!" Hearing that the other party was a disciple of the Mu family in Ten Thousand Demon City, Zhang Zijin was determined in his heart, with Mu Qing's joining, he would be able to draw with Ji Gaoyang.

"Senior Brother Mu, I don't know who this Taoist friend beside you is?" Zhang Zijin turned his gaze to Lu Chen and asked.

"Senior Brother Zhang, let me introduce you, this is Lu Chen's fellow Daoist of the Southern Regions Lingyun Star Sect. Mu Qing said.

"I've seen Lu Daoyou!" Zhang Zijin said.

"I've seen Zhang Daoyou!" Lu Chen returned the salute.

"Brother Lu, since you are a friend of Senior Brother Mu, I will also tell the truth, our Demon Refining Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect are engaged in a gambling battle, more than who has recruited more team members here, if you can help, I am grateful. Zhang Zijin said politely.

Zhang Zijin's tone was kind and smooth, and his attitude was extremely sincere, which made Lu Chen inevitably glance at him, just now Mu Qing had already privately transmitted a message to him, and the true identity of this person was the grandson of the Supreme Elder of the Demon Refining Sect.

"Since it was Brother Zhang's invitation, Lu is willing to join your sect's trial team. "Although participating in the other party's trial will delay some time, Zhang Zijin has a special identity, and when this matter is over, he will be able to find Ji Yingying's whereabouts through the Demon Refining Sect.

Hearing that Lu Chen was willing to join his side, Zhang Zijin was immediately overjoyed.

"Thank you, Brother Lu, keep it in mind!" Zhang Zijin said with a solemn expression.

"Lu Daoyou, Ben Shao hopes that you can change your mind, no matter what the request, our Yin Corpse Sect is willing to meet you!" It was originally a tie situation, but with the addition of Lu Chen, the number of team members recruited by the Demon Refining Sect will be overtaken and win the first bet. In order to make Lu Chen change his mind, Ji Gaoyang immediately said that he was willing to meet any request made by Lu Chen.

"This fellow Daoist, I'm sorry, Lu has already joined Brother Zhang's team!" Lu Chen refused.

"Fellow Daoist, you really don't want to sell me a face? My father is the Great Elder of the Yin Corpse Sect!"

"Since he has promised Brother Zhang, Lu will naturally not change his ways. Lu Chen said firmly.

After another moment, it was finally noon, because of the addition of Lu Chen and Mu Qing, the number of people who joined the Demon Refining Sect's trial team surpassed it, and Zhang Zijin won the first gambling battle.

"Brother Ji, concede!" The victory in the first battle couldn't help but make Zhang Zijin overjoyed.

"Hmph!" Ji Gaoyang took out the eighth-order magic weapon that was originally used as a bet from the storage ring and threw it to Zhang Zijin.

Zhang Zijin caught the magic weapon and played with it in his hand, this is an extremely beautifully crafted shield, this thing can resist any attack below the god monarch, for the Yuan infant monk, it is already a rare treasure.

"Brother Lu, our Demon Refining Sect can win the first bet, it all depends on your great help, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and please accept this shield. After speaking, Zhang Zijin handed this eighth-order magic weapon to Lu Chen.

"Brother Zhang, Lu Mou is just a gesture, but he doesn't deserve your gift. Lu Chen declined with a smile.

Zhang Zijin saw that Lu Chen resolutely did not accept it, so he had to put away the magic weapon, but he couldn't help but be curious about Lu Chen's identity in his heart, although this person only had the early cultivation of the Yuan Infant, but he was not moved by the eighth-order magic weapon at all, just now, Zhang Zijin found that Lu Chen's gaze swept over the magic weapon, and he didn't stop at all, and he didn't even take another look.

"The surname is Lu, today's account, Ben Shao wrote it down. After throwing down a sentence fiercely, Ji Gaoyang led the team to continue walking into the depths of the desert.
