"I heard that at least a quarter of the monks in this star guard selection are monks from the Spiritual Medicine Mountain!"
"A quarter! So many people!"
"No way! In previous years, didn't Spiritual Medicine Mountain prohibit its disciples from running for Star Guards?"
"Who knows? No wonder there are so many more people participating in the Star Guardian Battle this year."
"Hey! It is said that these monks from Spiritual Medicine Mountain were arranged by Spiritual Medicine Mountain on their own initiative this year!"
"Oh? Is this the case?"
"No wonder there are so few monks participating in the Battle of Star Guards this year!"
"Hey, this elixir mountain seems to be doing a lot of things recently!"
"How do you say this?"
"I heard that this spiritual medicine mountain intends to annex the two spiritual stone mines in the northwest giant gate!"
"What!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"
"Oh, this matter has nothing to do with us anyway. There are many people here, so don't talk nonsense!"
A group of low-level Qi Condensation monks beside Chu Chen and Liu Xiao were discussing, which reached the ears of the two of them.
"It would be great if we could become disciples of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain!"
"Oh, it can't be that simple! The people selected by the Spiritual Medicine Mountain have very sharp eyes. It doesn't matter whether you are a monk in the foundation-building stage or not, and you don't have a single-attribute spiritual root!"
"They only train monks with good spiritual talents, like us, alas!" A middle-aged monk sighed.
"Brother Xie, please don't belittle yourself. When the opportunity comes, we may also be able to form a golden elixir!"
"I hope so!" the middle-aged monk sighed, knowing full well that such words were just self-comfort.
Chu Chen and Liu Xiao were still waiting, and there was a lot of noise around them. It was about insignificant things, which made people feel irritated.
I could see that the three star guards on the tall wooden frame were still talking with the monk in white, and the battle for the star guards had not yet begun.
After a while, the monk in white finally left, and there seemed to be some commotion in the crowd somewhere. Chu Chen turned his head slightly to take a look.
"Brothers, hurry up! Director Lin of the Star Palace Chamber of Commerce has organized a betting battle for this Star Guards dispute."
"Betting war!"
"Bet on the outcome of each battle between the two monks, and you can win spiritual stones!"
"Oh! There is another thing, let's go take a look!"
Several loud shouts came from beside me, and a large number of monks flew somewhere.
Liu Xiao raised her eyebrows and curved her mouth: "Betting battle? Haha, it's interesting, let's go and see it too..."
"Well, but what is this gambling battle? Can you really win the spirit stone?" Chu Chen asked doubtfully, not understanding what the gambling battle was about.
"Hmph, not only can I win, but I can also win a lot of spiritual stones!"
Liu Xiao smiled slyly, which made Chu Chen even more confused.
"Okay, okay, you'll know when you get there." Liu Xiao smiled lightly.
"Oh." Chu Chen responded.
The two of them immediately flew towards the crowded place. I don't know where the news came from, and many monks came after hearing the news.
As soon as I saw them, they were all densely packed with monks, shoulder to shoulder, all stopping to stare at something in front of them. There were also many monks who escaped directly and looked at the scene in front of them in mid-air.
A giant wooden sign about six to seven feet high was placed right in front, which was very conspicuous.
The battle information written on it is a series of numbers, with a total of 808 different numbers, which is exactly the number of monks participating in the Star Guards Battle.
After each number, the corresponding cultivation level of the monk is indicated, as well as the match-up situation between the monks selected in the first round, all listed, for example, a pair of numbers is 808, and a pair of numbers is 807.
As for the names of the monks, they haven’t been listed yet, but they should be listed soon.
In addition to indicating their cultivation level, the numbers of the monks who were competing against each other also had the odds between the monks participating in the battle. Liu Xiao was a little surprised when he saw this.
It seems that the person behind this has been preparing for this for a long time. As for Chu Chen, naturally he doesn't understand these things. He is completely confused about what the numbers after the number represent.
Just as he was about to speak and ask questions, he saw a monk flying directly in front of him, standing in the void next to the giant wooden sign. He seemed to be someone sent by the Chamber of Commerce.
"Fellow Taoists, please be quiet first! I will explain something about this gambling war."
The sound was not loud, but all the monks here heard it very clearly, and the sound could even be heard several miles away.
Liu Xiao looked surprised. This person was only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, but his voice vibrated in all directions. He must have used some kind of highly effective transmission talisman. For a moment, it produced an effect similar to that of sound transmission.
However, what is different from the art of sound transmission is that this voice is really shouted out, of course with the help of the power of spiritual talismans, while the art of sound transmission comes from the mind, and those who can produce the art of sound transmission must be at least gold.
Dan period cultivation.
After hearing this voice, the noise suddenly stopped, and all the eyes around him turned to the monk in front of him.
"This gambling war is supported by the Star Palace Chamber of Commerce. Fellow Taoists can worry about the source of the soul stone. For the sake of convenience, the bets in this gambling war must be made with medium-grade spiritual stones. One medium-grade spiritual stone is one bet. Each game
A single bet on a battle cannot exceed one hundred bets. This is the rule. Fellow Taoists who want to make a fortune in this Star Guard battle are welcome to place bets! The odds of each battle have been marked. Please tell me.
You can decide for yourself!"
"Also, the Chamber of Commerce is about to set up multiple betting sites. The battle for the Star Guards will begin in just one stick of incense. Fellow Taoists, come and place your bets!"
After hearing this, the crowd suddenly became commotion and surrounded the observatory. There were already people from the Star Palace Chamber of Commerce setting up a rack to promote the gambling war.
Many monks have begun to rush to place bets, including the monks participating in the Star Guards Battle. For a while, the betting battle caused an uproar among the crowd.
The Star Palace Chamber of Commerce also wanted to make a fortune in the Star Guards War. With so many people involved, the bookmaker must have made a lot of money.
The main reason is that the number of star satellite selections this year is very small, so the betting battle will be much easier.
Although the monks also understood that the Star Palace Chamber of Commerce was using this move to make a lot of money from their spiritual stones, the monks were still very enthusiastic about it and started betting to smash the spiritual stones.
In this way, it looks very much like a scene in a gambling house in the mortal world.
This move attracted a large number of monks to participate, and some monks who were not interested in the Star Guards War came after hearing the news.
"What does this odds mean?" Chu Chen asked Liu Xiao in confusion.
Although he thought this gambling battle seemed very interesting, he didn't know the rules at all, which made him feel very depressed.
"Which monk has a higher probability of winning, the odds will be smaller, and vice versa, the odds will be greater." Liu Xiao explained.
Hearing this, Chu Chen nodded with an "Oh" sound. Looking at the giant wooden sign in front of him, he couldn't help but look confused again. He pointed at one place and said, "Why are your odds so high?"
"ah?"
Liu Xiao was stunned and didn't pay attention to the matchup information on his side. His number was No. 28. Liu Xiao's eyes turned to the wooden sign, which actually showed odds of 1 to 4.
The opponent was a late-stage foundation-building monk, and Liu Xiao was only in the middle-stage foundation-building stage, and he was not well-known. From the perspective of the Chamber of Commerce, this kind of odds was not unusual.
Since the Chamber of Commerce held this kind of gambling war, it was natural that all the information about the monks participating in the Star Guards Battle was found out in advance, and the odds of those stronger monks were naturally set lower.
In this way, it is considered fair, and the monks can think carefully before making a bet.
The Chamber of Commerce wants to make a lot of money through this. Generally speaking, the odds between the two sides are not much different. In this way, the bookmaker can also make money easily.
However, looking at the odds, there are very few odds that are as high as 1:4. Except for Liu Xiao, there are only two monks in the two groups whose odds are higher than or equal to 1:4.
One group also had odds of 1 to 4, while the other group had odds that were a bit exaggerated, with odds of 1 to 30! Liu Xiao was very surprised.
Who could make the Chamber of Commerce offer such widely different odds? The two people facing each other were clearly monks in the late stage of foundation building. Liu Xiao was a little curious.
But it didn't matter to Liu Xiao and he didn't think much about it. After all, the difference in odds on his side was extremely high.
This shows that the person who is fighting against Liu Xiao should be relatively strong, otherwise there would not be such a big difference in odds.
Because if the odds are one to four, it is very easy for the dealer to enter with a large number of spiritual stones. Unless he knows which side will win, there will be such high odds.
Chu Chen couldn't understand this. He looked at his own matchup information and found that the cultivation level of the monk he was fighting against was also in the late stage of foundation building, but the odds were one to one point two. The odds were not much different, but the odds on his side were
Still a little higher.
From this point of view, the strength of both of them has been greatly underestimated.
"This can make a fortune, but it's a pity that the most we can invest is two hundred middle-grade spiritual stones." Liu Xiao was happy at first, and then sighed quietly.
"Can this really win the spirit stone?" Chu Chen couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Nonsense, of course we can win. As long as we win, doesn't it mean we win the spirit stone?" Liu Xiao curled his lips and said.
"It's easy. If you win, you will get the spirit stone, right?" Chu Chen said with a smile.
"Yeah, but you won't make much money that time. I should be able to make a fortune in spiritual stones this time." Liu Xiao said softly.
It probably has something to do with the odds. Chu Chen is not stupid. Liu Xiao's odds are so high, so there must be very few monks betting on her. In this case, just the opposite, the two of them will definitely win more.
"Let's go and place bets quickly!" Liu Xiao said.
Chu Chen nodded, and the two of them flew directly into the air towards the giant wooden frame directly in front.
Beside the wooden frame, there were people from the Star Palace Chamber of Commerce taking care of the betting matters. In fact, there were not many monks who came to place bets, but a lot of them stopped and watched.
Because the names of the monks who were playing against each other had not yet been revealed, no one dared to place a bet rashly even with the odds set by the Chamber of Commerce.
They are all numbers. Who knows who is who? If the numbers of the famous players in Tianyuan City are displayed, the enthusiasm of everyone for betting will definitely increase.
Everyone is waiting for the announcement of the list of monks to face.
Chu Chen and Liu Xiao stepped forward, the spirit stones were ready.
"This fellow Taoist, I want to place a bet!" Liu Xiao was the first to speak.
"I wonder what number you want to bet and how much you want to bet?" The monk in purple clothes asked Liu Xiao with a smile. The clothes seemed to be the uniform of the Star Palace Chamber of Commerce, and there were several monks wearing the same clothes beside him.
"No. 28 and No. 126, one hundred bets each!" Liu Xiao said calmly.
Hearing this, the monk's expression changed and he looked at Liu Xiao in disbelief. He was stunned and speechless for a moment.
A group of surrounding monks who heard Liu Xiao's words also looked at them with shock. It was two hundred bets at the beginning. It was really crazy!
"What is this man's background?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it."
"You have so much money!"
There were various sounds of pointing and whispering coming from all around, but Liu Xiao's expression did not move.
"The spirit stone is here. Fellow Taoist, please hurry up and place the bet for me!" Liu Xiao couldn't help but urge.
"Oh, good! The 28th and the 126th, right? If you're good, I'll place a bet for fellow Taoist." Hearing Liu Xiao's urging, the purple-clothed monk hurriedly said.
Then he turned slightly and cast a spell with both hands on the giant wooden frame. The number "100" appeared immediately after the number 28, and the number "100" also appeared after the number 126.
