Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 149
Chapter 149 All In!
Su Bai had been waiting for this moment!
When the Heavenly Dao Sect’s odds rose to 10 to 1, that was already the limit.
The match was about to start, and once it began, no more bets could be placed.
Ten to one…
That was more than enough!
Su Bai made his move!
“I’m betting 100,000 Spirit Stones on the Heavenly Dao Sect to win!”
His words instantly grabbed everyone’s attention.
Someone actually dared to bet on the Heavenly Dao Sect?
Who would be foolish enough?
“Betting on the Heavenly Dao Sect? Are you out of your mind…”
A Nascent Soul Old Man muttered disdainfully as he looked over, but the moment he saw Su Bai, he froze in shock.
Damn!
That was the Venerable from the Heavenly Dao Sect!
“Venerable, I’m sorry for my earlier disrespect… I didn’t recognize you,” the Nascent Soul Old Man quickly lowered his head in apology.
At the same time, everyone else bowed respectfully.
No matter which faction a Venerable came from, they simply couldn’t afford to offend one!
The Divine Transformation Elder of the Dominating Heaven Sect was also slightly taken aback and asked, “Venerable, are you sure you want to bet on the Heavenly Dao Sect to win?”
“Do I need to say it a second time?” Su Bai replied coolly.
“Uh…” The Dominating Heaven Sect Elder hesitated, then gritted his teeth and said, “If the Heavenly Dao Sect loses, Venerable, you can’t blame us, alright?”
“I can afford to lose. What I don’t know is whether your Dominating Heaven Sect can afford to lose,” Su Bai continued calmly.
The elder forced a smile and said, “Venerable, you must be joking. Since our Dominating Heaven Sect dared to set this trap, we definitely have the strength to pay up.”
“Fine, place my bet on the Heavenly Dao Sect to win.” Su Bai waved his hand and tossed a Storage Ring in front of him.
“One hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, right? Got it, we’ll arrange that right away.” The elder from the Dominating Heaven Sect cheerfully picked up the Storage Ring.
However, when he scanned inside with his Divine Sense to check the number of Spirit Stones, he immediately gasped sharply inwardly.
This is no ordinary one hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones!
This was clearly one hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones!
In addition, there were millions of intermediate-grade Spirit Stones and more than a billion lower-grade Spirit Stones!
This amount of Spirit Stones was equivalent to the output of a medium-grade Spirit Vein over three hundred years!
All of this was accumulated from the high-grade Spirit Vein of the Heavenly Dao Sect over three years—Su Bai had just gone all in!
Even a powerhouse like the Dominating Heaven Sect, one of the nineteen strongest Immortal Alliances, didn’t have a single high-grade Spirit Vein in their entire sect—only a dozen medium-grade Spirit Veins and a few hundred lower-grade ones!
High-grade Spirit Veins are the kind of resources possessed only by Heavenly Venerable-level forces ranked among the top ten Immortal Alliances across the entire Continent. Even if one appeared in Southern Xuan Prefecture, no faction would dare to encroach upon it.
These Spirit Stones alone equate to more than twenty years’ worth of the entire output of the Dominating Heaven Sect’s Spirit Veins! Taking into account daily consumption and the portion remitted to the Heavenly Palace, this amount corresponds to almost a century’s worth of Spirit Stone accumulation by the Dominating Heaven Sect!
But that’s not all—the current odds for the Heavenly Dao Sect to win are ten to one. If, and this is a big if, the Heavenly Dao Sect really wins, then the payout would require covering…
A millennium of the Dominating Heaven Sect’s reserves!!!
The Divine Transformation Elder trembled all over, nearly dropping the Storage Ring in his hand.
This was an astronomical fortune!
He definitely didn’t have the authority to accept such a bet and could only look up to the Venerable Xuan Ba in the sky for help.
“Heh, I wonder just how much you bet on the Heavenly Dao Sect’s victory?”
Venerable Xuan Ba sensed something was off when he arrived and took the Storage Ring from the Divine Transformation Elder.
“You’ll understand as soon as you look,” Su Bai said indifferently.
With a sweep of his divine sense, even Xuan Ba’s composure wavered slightly.
The amount of Spirit Stones was ridiculously excessive!
If Su Bai weren’t a Venerable but merely a Divine Transformation cultivator, Xuan Ba would have already sentenced him to death in his mind!
“So, the great Grand Venerable power ranked among the top twenty Immortal Alliances can’t even handle this small wager?” Su Bai smiled.
Xuan Ba steadied himself and cast his gaze toward the Sacred Tiger Sect’s lineup.
Every outstanding disciple of the Sacred Tiger Sect was at least in the late-stage Golden Core realm, with peerless geniuses who had reached the Nascent Soul level after just decades of cultivation.
The Heavenly Dao Sect’s disciples simply could not win!
As long as the Heavenly Dao Sect lost, these Spirit Stones would become a huge fortune for the Dominating Heaven Sect!
A high-stakes gamble!
A gamble that would determine the Dominating Heaven Sect’s fortune for the next several hundred years!
No, it wasn’t just a gamble!
If the Sacred Tiger Sect won, these Spirit Stones would rightfully belong to the Dominating Heaven Sect.
But taking a step back—if the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect really did win…
A ruthless gleam appeared in Venerable Xuan Ba’s eyes. At worst, they could just skip out on paying!
Su Bai—would he still dare to go to the Dominating Heaven Sect’s headquarters to demand it?
The Dominating Heaven Sect had Fusion Grand Venerable Old Ancestors; he didn’t believe Su Bai had that kind of nerve!
“Heh, do you think the Dominating Heaven Sect can’t cover it?” Venerable Xuan Ba smiled knowingly, already having made up his mind.
Hearing this, Su Bai also revealed a faint smile that was almost imperceptible.
A moment later, Venerable Xuan Ba took out a piece of Contract Paper and handed it to Su Bai.
Su Bai accepted it. Each detail was clearly written on the Contract Paper:
Bet placed on the Heavenly Dao Sect winning!
Odds: 10 to 1!
Spirit Stones: 100,000 High Grade, 10 million Intermediate Grade, 1 billion Lower Grade.
Betting party: Heavenly Dao Sect
Payout party: Dominating Heaven Sect
“Heh, the Dominating Heaven Sect has been the house for thousands of years. We still have some integrity.”Seeing Su Bai examine the contract carefully, Venerable Xuan Ba chuckled.
“Please also press your fingerprint up there and add a clause that payment must be settled within three days, so I won’t have to wonder who to chase later,” Su Bai said with a sly smile.
“Uh…” Venerable Xuan Ba was momentarily stunned, a flicker of doubt briefly crossing his mind.
Could it be that the Venerable of the Heavenly Dao Sect was really this confident? Could they actually win?
But he quickly shook off the thought.
What a joke—how could the Sacred Tiger Sect possibly lose?
Cultivating disciples depends on more than just one Venerable!
Immortal Techniques, divine powers, spirit veins, innate talent…
Not a single element could be missing!
The Heavenly Dao Sect was just a force that had emerged in the Southern Ridge in recent years. Even if they unified the entire Southern Ridge, what kind of genius disciples did they really have?
Even if there were any, it was far too late for them to have matured at this point!
“Alright!” Venerable Xuan Ba took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.
After signing the contract, Su Bai turned and left.
Back to back, both men showed a faint smile in their eyes at that moment.
They’ve taken the bait!
