Shen Yuan Ring

Chapter 155 Gambling Showdown

Despite feeling uncomfortable with the mocking and sarcastic glances from outsiders, Ji Daoyi remained calm and composed, just like a still lake, as he thought about the sea of ​​consciousness he had already opened and the cultivation he had reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Why would Ji Daoyi lower himself to the level of those Body Refinement Realm cultivators who are like ants?

It should be noted that the gate to the Divine Realm has already opened for Ji Daoyi. Now he only needs to continuously accumulate Yuan Power like a sponge absorbing water. Once the Yuan Power liquid in his dantian reaches 100%, he can directly advance to a Divine Realm expert like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Rather than wasting precious time arguing with others about these meaningless honors, it's better to let time prove everything. Besides, the more he's misunderstood, the safer he'll be.

If other families or forces were to find out that he had reached the Nascent Soul Realm in just one year of cultivation, he would be caught in a storm of assassinations.

On the surface, all the major powers appear to be on good terms, but in reality, they are constantly vying for power.

Nobody wants to be outdone by the other; if someone else is doing poorly, it's as if you're doing well.

"Since none of us have received Qi Wei's inheritance, let's have a competition to see whose junior has the greatest opportunity. That way, we can determine the winner!" As the initiator of the bet, Yan Yi naturally had to take the lead and carry this matter through to the end.

As for the fact that Sun Puyu of the Ji family had just obtained the sword inheritance, he didn't mention it at all, because if he admitted that it was true, then Ji Hai would directly win and get four gambling items for free.

Ji Hai said, "Is there any need for a competition? My Ji family's Sun Puyu has received Master Qi Wei's swordsmanship inheritance, so it's only natural that I won this bet." Then he stretched out his right hand, his intention quite clear.

“Patriarch Ji, you’re wrong. These are all your son’s own accounts, and we don’t know their veracity.” Tie Shixin naturally didn’t want to hand the things over to Ji Hai so easily.

"Patriarch Ji, I'm sorry! Although my Yuyao received care from your juniors in the secret realm, kindness is kindness, and a bet is a bet. I cannot take your side in this contest."

Yao Xinghe first bowed to Ji Hai to apologize, after all, the younger generation of the Ji family had helped his people in the secret realm.

"Elder Shi Xin is right. Your Sun Puyue wasn't even there. How do we know if she truly received the sword dao inheritance or if she's already dead inside? If our junior also fabricates an inheritance and claims that our junior is receiving it in the secret realm, how can this duel even take place?"

Ji Hai was helpless when he saw that the others didn't want to lose the treasures they had brought out in the bet to him. He also knew that it would be difficult to make them accept defeat willingly.

"So how do you want to judge this bet?"

"Of course, as we agreed before, we will have our juniors who participated in the secret realm compete to see who is better and what they have gained in this secret realm. As long as his growth and gains are convincing to all of us, then he will be the winner of this bet."

Yan Yi has just investigated his family's younger generation and has made quite a harvest this time. He has dozens of spiritual herbs for refining the Breakthrough Pill, hundreds of other spiritual herbs, and a large amount of demonic beast materials. His chances of winning the bet are very high.

As for the Ji family and the Yao family, in his opinion, although the two families had a lot more people who survived by sticking together, there were too many monks and not enough porridge, so how many would actually get their share, unless they encountered something like a medicinal garden.

"agree!"

"agree!"

All those who had reached the Divine Realm expressed their agreement and had great confidence in their successors.

Before long, they had collected all the spoils their younger generation had obtained in the secret realm.

When Ji Hai received their haul from Ji Zihan, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

A centuries-old purple ginseng king, a golden dragon fish, and countless miraculous herbs.

He looked at the several storage bags and couldn't believe that they had obtained them in the secret realm. If you told him that Ji Daoyi and his group had robbed a merchant guild, Ji Hai would probably believe it.

(I have so much stuff, let's see what you say now. What's mine is mine, the elixirs, the magical artifacts, the meteorite iron, and the stone mother are all mine!)

Ji Hai was like a general who had victory in his grasp, his heart filled with confidence. With these treasures, winning the bet would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.

The other cultivators at the Divine Realm level accepted the storage bags handed to them by their juniors, their expressions like a spilled palette of colors—some overjoyed, others utterly helpless…

"Let's begin! Who wants to go first?"

Yan Yi's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears. The others seemed to be frozen in place, looking at each other, none of them willing to be the first to try something new.

Seeing that everyone was cowering like turtles and dared not step forward, Ji Hai said loudly, "Since none of you dare to be the first to come, then I will be the one to throw out the first brick to attract the jade!"

Ji Haiyun said to the four of them in a calm and casual manner: "These are spiritual herbs that they obtained from a hidden medicinal garden. Among them is a purple ginseng that has withstood hundreds of years of wind and rain. As for the other spiritual herbs, although there are many, there are only a few thousand of them. I have countless other refining materials, so I won't introduce them one by one. You can go and find out for yourselves."

The other four cultivators at the Divine Realm were struck dumb upon hearing this. Clearly, Ji Hai's words were hard for them to believe, and they couldn't wait to extend their spiritual power to explore the storage space.

After looking at the storage bag provided by Ji Hai, the group fell silent.

Meanwhile, they were all secretly cursing Ji Hai for not throwing out a brick to attract jade, but for showing off to them, and they could only swallow their anger.

At this moment, Yan Yi was in a terrible mood, because compared with the Ji family's gains, his little bit of stuff seemed like nothing at all.

He had just been so confident that he could win this bet, and even if he couldn't, he wouldn't lose so badly.

"Gentlemen, how is it? Do you have any objections to what I just said?" Ji Hai wanted to laugh out loud when he saw their expressions, but after being the head of the family for more than ten years, he could only hide his joys and sorrows in front of outsiders.

"No...no objection!"

Ji Hai put the storage bag away and did not immediately return the items to Ji Zihan. The others were not surprised. Giving such a valuable item to a junior would be a disservice to him; it was better to keep it safe for him.

"Gentlemen, why don't you also share the gifts from your juniors, so everyone can give your opinions?" Ji Hai added, delivering another jab.

"I surrender! This bottle of Cleansing Spirit Pills is yours!" Yao Xinghe said, tossing the pills to Ji Hai.

"I'll admit defeat too!"

"The younger generation of the Ji family is not simple. I admit defeat!"

Ji Hai was secretly delighted by their acquiescence. "Hmph, before you only lost things in the bet, but now you'll not only lose your bets, you'll also lose face."
