Chapter 122 Two Money-Grubbing Old Fools
"Uncle Qinghe arrived early as expected. We must not let him steal it!"
Xingchen Daoist whispered in Shen Rugo's ear, and then increased his speed again.
In an instant, they found themselves in a spacious, secret room.
Shen Rugo looked around and her eyes widened immediately.
The huge secret chamber was filled with piles and piles of spirit stones, like small mountains.
The dazzling light illuminated the entire dark, secret room, making it radiant and beautiful.
"You've finally arrived! Look, we've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!"
As the two entered, Qinghe Daoist reached out and grabbed them, tossing them high into the air, catching them, and tossing them up again.
Catch it, toss it up, catch it, toss it up.
Amidst the deafening laughter, Xingchen Daoist and Shen Rugo were like two rag dolls, tossed and caught by Qinghe Daoist.
"Uncle-Master, stop! My eyes are blurry, I can't take it anymore!"
"Uncle-Master, please give me some face, okay? I am, after all, the sect leader!"
All that could be heard was Shen Rugo and Xingchen Daoren screaming.
"Uncle-Master, I'm so happy! I've never seen so many spirit stones in my entire life. Not to mention seeing them before, I've never even dreamed of them. Now our Star Palace is rich, and we've truly risen to prominence."
Under the earnest pleas of the two men, Qinghe Daoren finally stopped what he was doing and put them on the ground.
"My spirit stone!"
The moment the two landed, they rushed toward the pile of spirit stones at top speed almost simultaneously.
Daoist Xingchen grabbed handfuls of spirit stones and rubbed them incessantly in his hands.
As for Shen Rugo, she had long since rolled into the spirit stone and was buried underneath it.
This secret chamber is the safest and most confidential place in the Star Palace. No one except the Star Palace Master and Daoist Qinghe can enter. It is surrounded by numerous arrays and traps.
The three of them cheered and jumped for joy for a long, long time before they gradually calmed down.
"Uncle-Master, how many spirit stones are here exactly?"
The Star Daoist asked, trembling.
"How much? I don't know the exact number either."
"It must be at least tens of billions, right?"
"More or less, probably, definitely."
"With so many spirit stones, what should we do with them?"
"How should we handle it? Of course, it's all ours, it all belongs to the Star Palace!"
"But besides the three of us and the sect betting on Ruge, those five brats and eight peak masters have also bet on Ruge. We don't even know if anyone else has bet on Ruge. Are we just going to leave it to them?"
"What's there to divide? Those brats are all family."
Besides, these spirit stones will ultimately be used on them anyway, so what's the point of dividing them?
Seeing so many spirit stones, Daoist Qinghe and Daoist Xingchen began to discuss them.
As expected, he was blinded by greed and completely lost his rationality for money.
Money is the root of all evil.
After her initial excitement subsided, Shen Rugo listened quietly to the exchange between Qinghe Daoist and Xingchen Daoist, her heart filled with contempt for the two of them.
Their intention is to keep all the spirit stones for themselves and not share them with the bettors.
Of course, "owned" here refers to the property belonging to the Star Palace.
"How did that old man disappear after arriving here? It's like he vanished into thin air?"
Although Chen Tianba was fast, he ultimately couldn't catch up with Xingchen Daoren.
They finally managed to break into the inner sect and enter Star Peak, but they could no longer find the Star Daoist.
Before long, Xiao Changkong, Lu Haoran, and the other three also arrived at the foot of Star Peak.
"We've been here countless times. Could there be some secret or formation hidden here that we don't know about?"
Lu Haoran looked around.
"You're not just stating the obvious, there's definitely a secret, there's definitely a formation involved. Otherwise, how could that old man have vanished into thin air!"
Chen Tianba said angrily.
"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you? Third brother was just telling the truth!"
Ye Xinghe said coldly.
"Second brother, do you think you're so tough now? Getting itchy?"
Chen Tianba's eyes widened as he looked at Ye Xinghe.
"Fourth Brother, why are you so irritable? That's our master. Do you think he would betray us?"
Xiao Changkong suddenly shouted.
Because Chen Tianba now is like a firecracker, ready to explode at the slightest touch.
"Senior Brother, do you think Master won't betray us?"
Chen Tianba opened his eyes wide.
“Master would never betray us.”
"Senior Brother, how come you've become so childish too?"
Don't you all know what kind of person Master is, that greedy old bastard? How could he not rip us off?
I'm really worried that he's currently lying in the pile of spirit stones, counting them and stealing all the spirit stones that belong to us for himself!
"Fourth junior brother, that's our master. Even if he's a bit greedy and took a few of our spirit stones, so what? You don't need to be so furious."
Besides, you've always been the richest person in the world; I don't even know how many times you've helped me out. Why are you suddenly so obsessed with spirit stones?
Xiao Changkong remained calm as he looked at Chen Tianba.
"How many of our spirit stones are being taken?"
"Senior Brother, do you know what the odds Junior Sister mentioned are? Do you know how many times our money in spirit stones we can earn?"
Chen Tianba suddenly looked at Xiao Changkong as if he were a fool.
"Fourth brother, what kind of look is that? This is our eldest brother."
Ye Xinghe was furious again.
Of the five fellow disciples, he respected Xiao Changkong the most, even more than his master.
What kind of look is that?
That's how I look at a fool, and that's exactly how I look at you, you fool!
Chen Tianba showed no mercy.
"Are you itching for a beating? I'll peel it off right now and give you a good scratch!"
Ye Xinghe was furious and raised his hand to strike.
"Stop fooling around, Fourth Junior Brother. Do you know something? Do you know how many times we can multiply our profits and how many spirit stones we can earn?"
Lu Haoran suddenly stepped between the two, raised his hand to block Ye Xinghe's hand, and asked.
"If it were less, would I be in such a hurry, chasing after that old man so recklessly?"
Chen Tianba glared at Lu Haoran again.
"Could it be that the odds can really reach 100 times? Our 1,000 top-grade spirit stones can become 100,000 top-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to 100 million low-grade spirit stones?"
Lu Haoran, Ye Xinghe, Xiao Qiushui, and even Xiao Changkong couldn't help but shout.
They expected to make a fortune if they could achieve ten times their initial investment, earning 10,000 top-grade spirit stones each – a huge sum of money.
With so many spirit stones, I can buy all sorts of cultivation resources for myself, such as spirit treasures, magic weapons, pills, runes, and so on.
"A hundred times? What's a hundred times? I did a rough calculation, and it's at least five hundred times, maybe even a thousand times!"
Chen Tianba sneered loudly.
"Five hundred times, a thousand times?"
Upon hearing Chen Tianba's words, Xiao Changkong and the other three were instantly dumbfounded, frozen in place like statues.
A 500-fold increase means they can earn 500,000 top-grade spirit stones or 500 million low-grade spirit stones.
"What are you little rascals doing standing here like idiots? What happened?"
Just as the four were dumbfounded, a question suddenly came from afar.
In the blink of an eye, figures rushed over.
