Chapter 519 How to Be a Gambler

The noise soon attracted all the demons’ attention, mainly because Li Ye took out more and more fierce beasts’ bodies and their strength was from the Qi-refining Stage to the Real Immortal Realm. It was able to meet the demands of all demons at different levels.

In the end, Li Ye requisitioned half of the campsite and asked the members of the Killing Hands to help him sell them. Only then did he hold the scene.

The price given by Li Ye was indeed very low and he charged only about 70% of the normal price. That was a great bargain for the demons.

For example, you used two low-ranking Magic Treasures to exchange for the fierce beasts’ bodies. After you refined them—even if you did not refine them, you could sell them somewhere else. Then you could gain three Magic Treasures at the same class-ranking. It meant that you gained a Magic Treasure for free.

Who could resist such a bargain?

The demons of Macaque Mountain thought that Li Ye was selling the fierce beasts’ bodies at such low prices because he was drunk, so they did not want to miss this opportunity, lest they could not take advantage of it after Li Ye sobered up.

Four hours later, Li Ye sold 70% to 80% of the fierce beasts’ bodies and got more than 800 Magic Treasures and magic tools.

As a territory under the Macaque King’s jurisdiction, there were many demons on Macaque Mountain and several thousand demons came to attend the banquet tonight. Thus, less than one-third of the demons could buy fierce beasts’ bodies. In the end, they had to bid for them.

When Li Ye sold almost all the fierce beasts’ bodies, he already had more than 1,100 various Magic Treasures and magic tools in his storage bags.

“Although there are very few high-ranking Magic Treasures, I have gained many Magic Treasures in total. They are enough to upgrade the Luke Sword to the nonpareil Magic Treasure.” Li Ye was very satisfied. There were no rankings among the nonpareil Magic Treasures. After all, there were a few of them. All the Magic Treasures at this class-ranking had unsurpassed powers.

Although the fierce beasts’ bodies were all sold at low prices, Li Ye did not feel it was a loss. After all, the fierce beasts’ bodies were provided by the cultivators of the demon clan. He did not go to great efforts to get them and he did not even collect them personally.

As long as the Luke Sword could be upgraded to the nonpareil Magic Treasure, he would not suffer a loss.

While Li Ye was selling the fierce beasts’ bodies, the other cultivators of the demon clan, who came with him, also wanted to sell their fierce beasts’ bodies. But the price given by Li Ye was too low for them to compete with him, so they had to give up.

Seeing the demons of Macaque Mountain holding the fierce beasts’ bodies as treasures, Li Ye held them in disdain and looked at them with sympathy.

If what the Flood Dragon Demon King said was right, the beast tide would break out on a large scale in the territory of the demon clan. Then, before long, as the supply of fierce beasts greatly increased, the value of their bodies would depreciate completely.

At that time, it was uncertain whether seven or eight fierce beasts’ bodies could be exchanged for a Magic Treasure at the same level or not. After all, it would take a lot of time to refine a fierce beast’s body and it would not be easy to monetize it.

Back then, the Big Master of the Killing Hands spent a very long time in refining the Magic Treasures in seclusion.

Therefore, before the beast tide completely broke out, the key was to sell off all the fierce beasts’ bodies.

Although the fierce beasts’ bodies were sold out, the demons of Macaque Mountain still had many Magic Treasures. After all, more than a thousand Magic Treasures and magic tools were not many compared to several thousand demons. According to the number of demons, each of them only contributed about a quarter of his Magic Treasures, far below Li Ye’s expectations.

So Li Ye played a new trick.

“After drinking so much wine, we should play some games. This is called dice. It has six sides, and each side is engraved with a different number of points.” Li Ye began to play dice with the demons of Macaque Mountain. It had been played on the earth for a long time, but Li Ye had never seen it in this world. Now he took it out to gamble with the demons.

Then Li Ye took out three well-made dice and a bamboo tube. He explained the game to the demons. It was very easy, so they understood as soon as they heard it. “You are not allowed to use cultivation power. Guessing is all a matter of luck. Does anyone want to gamble with me? If someone wins, this middle-ranking Magic Treasure will be his!”

Li Ye did not say what would happen if he won. He wanted the demons to feel that they could take advantage of him at the beginning.

As a Great Cultivator who had cultivated to the Yang Spiritual Master Realm on the earth, Li Ye often used it to kill time with the other cultivators during the long years when he had no prospects of promotion to the Immortal Realm. Although he did not have top skills, it was enough to deal with a group of novices.

“I will gamble with you!” A demon in the Ground Immortal Realm took the preemptive opportunity. He stared covetously at the middle-ranking Magic Treasure and regarded Li Ye as a sucker. Tonight, Li Ye sold the fierce beasts’ bodies at such low prices and now he wanted to gamble. Everyone thought that Li Ye was drunk and looking for fun.

Li Ye picked up the bamboo tube and shook it for a long time. Then he put it on the table. He stared at the demon and asked, “Big or small?”

The demon struggled for a long time. He really did not know. With so many demons present, he could not cheat and use his cultivation openly, so he could only guess randomly in the end. “Big!”

He was lucky. It was indeed big. The demon jumped up and cheered happily. Then he grabbed the middle-ranking Magic Treasure. He stared at Li Ye and said hesitantly, “Your Highness, you will not go back on your word, will you?”

Li Ye waved his hand. “Of course not. Just take it!”

“Thank you, Your Highness!” After getting the Magic Treasure, the demon was so excited that his face turned red. He held it in his hands and looked at it happily.
