Chapter 477: Fanning the Flames!
“You guys…”
Dharma Protector Hou Changming looked at Guardian Wang Tianbao and Guardian Zhu Changgao with disdain, his expression becoming unpleasant.
“Could it be that Dharma Protector Hou has suddenly lost confidence in his own disciples? A top-grade intermediate-level pill, worth only ten high-grade intermediate-level pills, yet you’re not daring enough to bet on it?” Wang Tianbao chuckled provocatively.
Normally, one mid-grade star-ranked elixir couldn’t even begin to compare with ten high-grade dragon-ranked elixirs, let alone one hundred or one thousand.
However, Guardian Wang Tianbao was confident and wanted to challenge Dharma Protector Hou Changming’s proud demeanor.
If the disciples that Hou Changming accepted could ultimately climb up to Spirit Sword Peak and rank among the sixty-eight, it would be nothing short of a miracle.
One must understand that, even with so many direct disciples, only sixty-eight would have the opportunity in the end.
For an outer disciple to ascend, there had never been such a precedent within the Divine Sword School!
“Come, ten middle-grade celestial pills! I bet you ten high-grade celestial pills. Do you dare to gamble with me, Dharma Protector Hou?”
Dharma Protector Zhu Changgao was more straightforward and directly took out several medicine bottles, dangling them in front of Dharma Protector Hou Changming with a smile on his face.
“Zhu Changgao, you…!”
Dharma Protector Hou Changming glared at him.
“How about it, scared? It seems the disciple Dharma Protector Hou accepted isn’t very impressive either. Hehe.”
Dharma Protector Zhu Changgao laughed.
“Okay, let’s bet then!”
Dharma Protector Hou Changming gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and snatched the medicine bottle from Dharma Protector Zhu Changgao’s hand. His action was aggressive, even though he knew his own disciple wasn’t particularly outstanding. But he had already accepted that disciple, and even if he wasn’t great, he was still Hou Changming’s disciple. As a master, he had to stand up for him.
Dharma Protector Zhu Changgao was momentarily stunned, not having recovered from the shock. It seemed that Hou Changming had actually dared to gamble.
But soon, Dharma Protector Zhu Changgao snapped out of it, and a smile appeared on his face. Ten middle-grade star-rated elixirs were already a valuable commodity to him, worth most of his assets. The thought that Dharma Protector Hou Changming couldn’t possibly win made him feel like he would be getting those ten high-grade dragon-rated elixirs for free, which made him quite happy.
“So, it turns out Dharma Protector Hou only gambles when he sees elixirs. Well, I happen to have ten mid-grade star elixirs right here, so I’ll bet them against ten high-grade celestial elixirs.”
Dharma Protector Wang Tianbao smiled and immediately took out several medicine bottles, not wanting to miss the opportunity to acquire ten high-tier dragon-grade elixirs.
“Alright, let’s bet today!”
Dharma Protector Hou Changming gritted his teeth and took the medicine bottles from Dharma Protector Wang Tianbao’s hand.
“All you Dharma Protectors, don’t you want to take a gamble? Dharma Protector Hou has great confidence in his disciples!”
“Haha, let’s all bet together! It seems Dharma Protector Hou has absolute confidence in his disciples!”
Wang Tianbao and Zhu Changgao, the two Dharma Protectors, immediately cheered.
“Hehehe…”
“I will also place a bet. This is precisely a Star-grade Middle Tier Pill!”
“Dharma Protector Hou, I also lend my support and offer ten pills of high-grade intermediate-level elixir in aid.”
“…”
Such a bet may seem like Dharma Protector Hou Changming would gain a great advantage. However, everyone knew very well that he had no chance of winning at all.
How could they be willing to miss out on the opportunity to pick up ten high-tier dragon-grade pills for free?
For a moment, the protectors were very enthusiastic and eager, vying with each other to present the ten Star-grade Middle Tier Pills to Dharma Protector Hou Changming.
Some Dharma Protectors didn’t have as many intermediate-level elixirs with high-grade stars. They immediately asked other Dharma Protectors for a few to make up the difference.
This kind of opportunity to pick up Dragon-grade High Tier Pills for free was so rare that missing it would be a regretful loss.
Dharma Protector Hou Changming was stunned, his face twitching…
“What’s the matter? Is Dharma Protector Hou afraid to accept?”
“Is it possible that Dharma Protector Hou looks down on other Dharma Protectors?”
Wang Tianbao and Zhu Changgao, the two Dharma Protectors, incited and fanned the flames, eager to see how Hou Changming would handle this and whether he would remain stubborn despite the outcome.
“Hmph, just accept it then.”
With gritted teeth and in a fit of anger, Dharma Protector Hou Changming collected all the medicine bottles.
Although Dharma Protector Hou Changming knew in his heart that, unless a miracle happened, it was impossible for his disciple to make it into the top 68 and enter Spirit Sword Peak, he couldn’t help but hold on to the hope that the Heavenly Stairs themselves were a miracle. Who could say for sure that another miracle wouldn’t happen again?
“Hehe…”
Thus, other Dharma Protectors smiled inwardly, rejoicing greatly.
Ten high-grade pills were like picking them up for free. With Dharma Protector Hou Changming’s temper, they were sure he would suffer.
Inside the mysterious space, the energy of heaven and earth was rich. Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, Wang Fan, and others were dazzled.
As time passed and Su Yi didn’t return, the crowd could only sit cross-legged and cultivate their breathing exercises.
Only when Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and the others absorbed the energy of heaven and earth in this space did they realize what a precious place it was.
The energy here was so rich that it had never been seen before, and it also had the effect of cleansing both the soul and the body.
“Clang-clang…”
Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and the others were all enveloped in radiance, shining brightly and emanating an intangible, ancient aura.
If given enough time, it was likely that everyone would undergo another transformation.
Feeling the benefits, Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and the others couldn’t afford to miss out and devoted themselves to cultivation.
Situ Muyang had also taken the Spiritual Essence to heal his injuries and refine his breathing.
As the Spiritual Essence spread through his body like a warm current, Situ Muyang realized its true value and the benefits it had brought him.
In the ancient forest, the vast expanse was surrounded by silence.
In front of the huge divine bird skeleton, a figure sat cross-legged, with a red light pervading his body and a flame-like glow enveloping him.
At this moment, the bare skin of the figure was crystal clear, with a faint red light shimmering and constantly rippling.
In Su Yi’s consciousness, he sensed the divine expression, and his entire being was fully immersed in it.
At this moment, Su Yi seemed to have traversed through time and returned to ancient times, transformed into a divine bird, spreading his wings and soaring into the skies.
In that drop of essence blood, there was immense richness, containing many mysteries that constantly circulated.
“Heavenly Demon Figure is the figure of the heavenly demon, which is also the figure of all beasts and the figure of creation. The figure of creation represents heaven, earth, and humans… The great simplicity lies in the profound, and the five elements transform into all things… The innate energy is formless and intangible… All beasts are present yet illusory, with existence yet non-existence. Real Yin and Yang are the true existence, whereas the illusory and non-existent are… the inner and outer paths merge, as heaven, earth, and humans join, and the demon figure manifests from the void. Heavenly Demon Figure shakes the heavens and earth and moves ghosts and gods…”
Su Yi was contemplating that drop of essence blood, deciphering its mysteries…
