Chapter 211: Chapter 0196: Dare You Look Down On _2 Chapter 211: Chapter 0196: Dare You Look Down On _2 In order to verify the accuracy of his theory, Qi Tian had to test his judgnt. If it’s correct, it would essentially be a tily help for him, as he could then use this to make bets. He may not always get it right every ti, but making so profits in cultivation resources wouldn’t be a problem.
The Heavenly Dao Engine quickly made its judgnt. Qi Tian then watched the fight at ease. Soon, the results were out, exactly as the Heavenly Dao Engine anticipated. The one that elicited the strongest reaction from the Heavenly Dao Engine ended up winning the fight.
Next was the subsequent round. At this point, Qi Tian realized that before the start of each official fight, the two competitors would make a round around the field to showcase themselves, in an attempt to attract audiences to bet on them.
At these tis, the competitors would move very close to the protective railing. This was the best ti for the Heavenly Dao Engine to sense them.
Qi Tian patiently tested two more rounds. The results were still the sa. The outcos of these two matches were exactly the sa as the predictions made by the Heavenly Dao Engine – there wasn’t any difference.
Qi Tian felt reassured. As the next round started, he began to gamble his cultivation resources, using middle-grade spirit stones for betting. In the Imperial Master Mansion, middle-grade spirit stones might be conspicuously valuable but here, there were so many people using them to bet. Qi Tian even saw soone using a Foundation Establishnt pill to bet, which spooked him.
After placing the bet, Qi Tian watched the fight. As expected, the cultivator that he bet on won. Qi Tian bet ten middle-grade spirit stones and ended up earning fifteen.
Then ca the next round. Qi Tian once again used the Heavenly Dao Engine to make a judgnt, followed by placing a bet. He won again.
Over the next few days, Qi Tian practically lived in the martial arena. He bet on almost every round, usually placing not so huge amounts of middle-grade spirit stones on the line – as few as ten and as many as fifty, but never exceeding this limit. He didn’t win every ti; sotis, even though the Heavenly Dao Engine sensed a strong energy in a person, the fight unbelievably ended with that person’s defeat.
Qi Tian didn’t find this strange. After all, he’d seen many rigged matches and dishonest refereeing back on Earth. It was normal to encounter such things in Wanjie City.
The outco of a single round didn’t matter. What Qi Tian pursued was consistent profit.
In fact, the results were quite satisfactory using the Heavenly Dao Engine to make betting decisions. Within a few days, he had earned almost 5000 middle-grade spirit stones in the martial arena. That’s a lot of money. When he was in the Lianying Realm, he had strained himself considerably but the final harvest, when converted to middle-grade spirit stones, did not even touch one thousand. Now he was sitting on five thousand; one could imagine how huge an amount it was.
The martial arena had a substantial daily turnover. Qi Tian winning a few hundred middle-grade spirit stones daily didn’t really matter. However, Qi Tian knew the aning of ‘quit while you’re ahead’. After winning the five thousand stones, he imdiately withdrew from betting. He did not know how tily this retreat proved to be. If he had waited for two more days, he would definitely have caught the attention of the arena masters and they would have stripped him of his winnings, right down to his underwear.
In these few days at the arena, besides winning a large number of middle-grade spirit stones, Qi Tian also gained so valuable information. So of this would be very beneficial for his subsequent cultivation. Qi Tian planned to cultivate for a while, and then take action based on this information.
Qi Tian ca to the safe zone and found a publicly run Cultivation Ground. They provided all kinds of Cultivation Rooms. As long as you could afford it, they even had Cultivation Rooms of a higher grade than that of Huang Liuyan’s Cultivation Chamber. Moreover, cultivating here, you don’t have to worry about external disturbances as the Cultivation Room guarantees the safety of every custor.
With the masses of wealth he now possessed, Qi Tian still had so middle-grade spirit stones left, along with so big chunks of uncut middle-grade spirit stones, not to ntion the five thousand spirit stones he won. He could easily afford to rent a Cultivation Room here for a year of cultivation.
When Qi Tian arrived at the Cultivation Room business hall, ready to rent the highest-level Cultivation Room, he found it was a bit busy. A brutish-looking middle-aged cultivator was slamming his hand on the table and glowering at a young girl at the desk, while quite a few cultivators stood by to enjoy the spectacle, none willing to intervene.
At the feet of the middle-aged cultivator lay the corpse of a demonic beast. There were several holes in it, making it look quite terrifying. However, no blood was seeping from the wounds, indicating that it had been thoroughly drained beforehand.
“Miss, take a good look. This is a One-hoofed Mad Bull at the Foundation Establishnt Peak. I want to exchange it for a day of cultivation in a first-class, top-grade cultivation chamber. Why can’t I?” the middle-aged cultivator shouted while banging on the table.
The young girl didn’t even bother to lift her eyes and said, “This is not a junkyard. True, the beast you brought is a One-hoofed Mad Bull, but its demon core has been dug out, the blood has been drained, it has so many holes in its hide, and the horns on its head are gone. Its valuable parts are all gone. What’s left is worthless flesh. Don’t even talk about a day in a first-class top-grade cultivation chamber, even for a first-class, low-grade one, I would consider it inadequate. Quickly take it away, don’t hinder business.”
The middle-aged cultivator’s face flickered. For sure he knew the condition of this One-hoofed Mad Bull. He had initially hoped to swindle a day’s use of the cultivation chamber, but it looked like there was no chance. As he turned his gaze to the crowd, preparing to leave with the body of the One-hoofed Mad Bull, he spotted Qi Tian.
Though there were many people in line, a youngster like Qi Tian with such low cultivation was definitely a rare sight. Smirking, he walked over to Qi Tian, carrying the body of the One-hoofed Mad Bull, and tossed the corpse at Qi Tian’s feet. “Hey, kid, never seen a Foundation Establishnt Peak demonic beast’s corpse before? Here it is. I’m selling it to you.”
“I… Can I say no?” stamred Qi Tian.
The middle-aged cultivator’s eyes bulged as his Qi Cultivation Stage cultivation was revealed. “What? You dare to look down on ? You don’t want this beast’s corpse?”
Qi Tian shrank back and said, “Senior, don’t, I’ll take it, I’ll take it, okay? How much?”
“Ten middle-grade spirit stones!” the middle-aged cultivator barked.
Qi Tian retorted, “The young lady just now said your beast’s corpse is worthless. I’ll give you one middle-grade spirit stone. If you sell, I’ll buy it as food for my mount. If not, let’s forget it.”
“You say what? One… ” Just as the middle-aged cultivator was about to intimidate Qi Tian, a voice floated over from the girl behind the counter.
“Those who threaten custors or resort to violence in our Cultivation Grounds will have their arms and legs broken and will be thrown out.”
The middle-aged cultivator instantly went silent. He could only glare maliciously at Qi Tian and say, “One it is then. Bring it.”
Qi Tian hurriedly took out a middle-grade spirit stone with a show of fear and handed it to the middle-aged cultivator. Once the cultivator received the middle-grade spirit stone, he left, needing to figure out how to gather more spirit stones.
With a wave of his hand, Qi Tian stored the body of the One-hoofed Mad Bull away. Onlookers shot him sympathetic glances. The body of the demonic beast was practically worthless, and if it could be sold for five or six low-grade spirit stones, it would be considered a good price. Qi Tian buying it for one middle-grade spirit stone was undoubtedly a loss. But despite knowing this, no one tried to warn Qi Tian. After all, they were complete strangers and Qi Tian was just a young Qi Cultivation stage cultivator, so no one wanted to stick their nose in his business.
