Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven – Everyone Is Troubled (2/2)

The odds of Zuo Mo winning had been one to three hundred. Zuo Mo had wagered three hundred pieces of third-grade jingshi. In other words, his earnings was ninety thousand pieces of third-grade jingshi.

Holy f***!

Zuo Mo felt countless jingshi were floating above his head. His soul was floating.

Ninety thousand pieces of third-grade jingshi. One fourth-grade jingshi was worth five hundred pieces of third-grade jingshi, then it was one hundred and eighty pieces of fourth-grade jingshi!

Heavens!

This was a gigantic sum!

Supposedly, when Li Ying Feng had gone to take out this enormous sum, she had asked Eldest Shixiong to protect her the whole way. Luckily, Zuo Mo had told her to spread the wagers out, so no one had been plotting after it. But the worker at the casino that Wei Sheng had gone to wager at had a special expression when he saw Wei Sheng.

When Li Ying Feng handed the jingshi to Zuo Mo, her hands were shaking.

What Kun Lun introductory jade scrolls? All of that was thrown to the back of Zuo Mo’s mind. One hundred and eighty pieces of fourth-grade jingshi. What couldn’t he buy? Holding such a great sum, Zuo Mo did not need to fight at all. Wasn’t it just the Kun Lun introductory jade scroll? He only needed to notice who had picked this jade scroll and buy it from him.

One hundred and eighty pieces of fourth-grade jingshi. Not just the Kun Lun beginner jade scroll. Zuo Mo felt that even if it was a normal Kun Lun fourth-grade spell, he could buy it.

He made a lot! A lot!

He had never been so wealthy before. At this time, Zuo Mo had just become an upstart, wanting to run to Dong Fu immediately to start shopping. Possessing such a great sum, he could almost sweep clean all the talisman and material shops in Dong Fu. Along with him, the casinos had also earned a lot. They were wishing that a battle like that would occur a few times each day.

In Wu Kong Hall, a cloud had formed.

“It’s over!” Yan Le’s face was full of helplessness, “Now the boy has made such a big amount of jingshi. Not just cultivating the sword, I’m suspicious that he would just start eating and waiting for death from now on.”

“How about we take the jingshi from him?” Shi Feng Rong said hatefully. She hated Zuo Mo’s lack of ambition and grieved over her unluckiness!

“That’s not proper!” Pei Yuan Ran shook his head, “He earned it properly. If we take it away, how would we be different from robbers? By that time, we might force him into another sect.”

The three were frightened.

Right, any sect would compete for a disciple that was as talented as Zuo Mo. If nothing else, if they crossed the line, it would be reasonable that they could force Zuo Mo away. Even a strong person like Tian Song Zi who was on good relations with Wu Kong Sword Sect wouldn’t give up on him.

“What should we do now?” Shi Feng Rong’s face was full of worry. Before, they had been discussing the possibility of bribing Zuo Mo since he was so miserly. But Zuo Mo had received such a fortune. Even Pei Yuan Ran and the others were jealous of such a large amount of jingshi.

Without a doubt, Zuo Mo had become the richest person in Wu Kong Sword Sect!

To bribe him with Wu Kong Sword Sect’s thin assets, it was not possible.

Pei Yuan Ran couldn’t help but start rubbing his throbbing brow again.

In the next few days, Zuo Mo floated as he walked. It was like he was stepping in cotton. There was only one question in his mind.

How to spend this much jingshi?

However, he didn’t have time to consider that problem anymore because it was time for Wei Sheng Shixiong’s match. Wei Sheng Shixiong’s opponent was a sword xiu called Zuo Lin. He was a strong sword xiu, halfway up in the various rankings.

Having had a taste of gambling, Zuo Mo wanted to pull Li Ying Feng along to make some bets. But a frightened Li Ying Feng shook her head. She felt that her heart couldn’t tolerate wagering like this. Without any other way, Zuo Mo could only take Xiao Guo along to go bet at the big casinos.

Zuo Mo had become famous in Dong Fu. The employees at the casino instantly recognized him.

After going to two casinos, Zuo Mo could only let Xiao Guo go make the bets.

If Zuo Mo was asked who he was most confident in, then it definitely would be Wei Sheng Shixiong! So he did not hesitate in his wagering. To avoid being detected, he was very subdued. However, he pulled Xiao Guo along to bet at every casino in Dong Fu, all for Wei Sheng Shixiong winning.

However, the payout rate at every casino for Wei Sheng to win was very low. Everyone felt that Wei Sheng would win. Since the casinos were opened by those local factions, they all knew that Wei Sheng had caused an apparition when he entered zhuji.

As expected, Wei Sheng Shixiong crisply defeated Zuo Lin and won.

In this match, people had noticed that Wei Sheng was clearly more powerful than his opponent. After this fight, Wei Sheng was rocketed up in the rankings, easily getting into the top ten and became a candidate for winning.

Even though the payout was not high, Zuo Mo had invested a lot. In this match, he had made a little profit of ten pieces of fourth-grade jingshi.

As expected, if one had jingshi, it was easier to make jingshi. Zuo Mo sighed.

Wei Sheng Shixiong had won and he had no further interest in the following matches.

Even though his wounds had not fully healed, he was still trying to think of ways to spend the jingshi!

Translator Ramblings: Zuo Mo doesn’t care but his lack of knowledge did him a disservice with his sword essence. Of course, he really doesn’t have that much talent so his hopes of actually progressing with the Ice Dragon Sword Scripture is not very high unless he is very motivated.

Also, 180 pieces of fourth-grade jingshi!
