Chapter 1897: Qin Baili and Jin Ge (2/2)

Even though the treasures were tempting, life was even more precious.

There was no room to get into the shrine right now. All the spectators were crowding together for the fun show.

The stars were no one else but Jin Ge and Qin Baili. Only characters like them would cause such a commotion.

At this time, there was a table on top of piles of gold. On one side was Qin Baili and the other, Jin Ge. Their appearance together here attracted all the spectators.

They were both famous as supreme geniuses in Pure. Even though Qin Baili had lost before, this didn’t diminish his fame. As for Jin Ge, he was someone who was about to become a Grand Emperor. Thus, he was destined to be in the spotlight.

Of course, their bet commanded even more attention. The two of them prepared a table here in order to have a contest.

Remember, many would be on guard after entering the Golden Shrine. The place itself wouldn’t attack anyone but a single strand of greed would guarantee death.

Who wouldn’t have a greedy urge while surrounded by gold and treasures? No one would dare to claim to have control over their dao heart in this scenario.

Because of this incapability, no one dared to stand inside the shrine unless they have made up their mind after risking it all for the treasures.

At this moment, the duo was sitting calmly in the shrine. Just their decisiveness alone was worthy of admiration.

Ultimately, one was about to become an emperor while the other had immeasurable potential. Other geniuses wouldn’t take this risk but the two of them were deep in there.

They had a very special compet.i.tion going on. It was a test of vision and will about the treasures here.

They would each pick an item in the shrine then compare the items. The better picker would win.

In the beginning, they started with the scattered gold before moving to rarer and better treasures, including divine artifacts and Buddhist relics!

As long as one was only appreciating the treasure without greed, they would be fine in the shrine. However, the first greedy intent or the slightest palpitation from wanting to take something away would definitely end in death.

The two were from imperial lineages and have seen numerous imperial treasures before, ordinary treasures wouldn’t be able to get into their sight, let alone shaking their dao heart.

Nevertheless, the treasures here were quite amazing, not inferior to any imperial treasury. It was one thing to take a glance over yonder, but a close inspection would certainly incite greed. This was a suicidal endeavor.

“Bang!” Qin Baili placed a golden cup on the table while Jin Ge chose a precious pearl.

The two of them carefully looked at each other’s choice. Jin Ge started the conversation: “Brother Qin, your cup must belong to a supreme Buddha since it has an eternal essence. It might even be from the legendary other sh.o.r.e. My pearl was incubated by a heavenly dragon and has reached a great level but it is indeed inferior compared to an item from the other sh.o.r.e. You win this round, Brother Qin.”

“Gulp.” After Jin Ge finished his a.s.sessment, many spectators swallowed their saliva. Both the cup and pearl were priceless treasures. They would be dead right now if they were inside the shrine.

However, both Jin Ge and Qin Baili were fine. This showed that these items didn’t tempt them.

“I’m just lucky, that’s all.” Qin Baili smiled and said: “We have both won three rounds, do you wish to continue, Brother Jin Ge?”

“We’re both here already, might as well enjoy ourselves.” Jin Ge smiled and said.

“Very well, I’ll entertain you then.” Qin Baili laughed freely in response.
