Then his expression suddenly changed and he looked at the ten taels of gold.
"Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones?"
"Are you bluffing me?"
"Can you earn so much?"
Taoist Taihua was shocked.
And Shi Liang Jin was also stunned.
But soon, he suddenly understood.
I was indeed not wrong.
Chapter 98 What? My eldest disciple wants to pay ten times the amount? Then just bet on him to lose [New Book Request Everything]
Taoist Taihua was really confused.
Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones?
Even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones?
What is this concept?
Ten taels of gold are equal to one low-grade spirit stone.
Hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones are equivalent to more than one million taels of gold.
It is not a well-known sect, but it earns only a few hundred taels of gold a year.
For a third-rank sect, an annual income of one thousand taels of gold is about the same.
For a second-rank sect, an annual income of ten thousand taels of gold is the limit.
The annual income of a first-class sect is approximately hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of gold.
In other words, if you are lucky, you can earn the annual net income of a first-class sect.
Taoist Taihua was confused.
However, there is one thing that Taoist Taihua underestimated. The first-class sects have many ways to make money, far more than these, but these sects are unlikely to reveal their specific profit amounts.
These are all guesses made by Taoist Taihua himself.
But no matter how much it is, for Taoist Taihua, hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones are an astronomical figure.
You can never spend all of it in your lifetime.
You can’t spend all of it in your lifetime.
"Cough cough!" Thinking of this, Taoist Taihua couldn't help but cough, and then looked at the Ten Liang Jin Dao.
"As monks, we must never be tainted by money, but I suddenly remembered that my eldest disciple is easy-going and kind-hearted. He cannot bear to see the sufferings of the world and likes to donate money when he has nothing to do."
"Although this behavior is in accordance with the law of nature, money and other things cannot be stolen. I have been worried about this matter these days. Tenth Shopkeeper, please tell me the overall plan first, and then I will ask my eldest disciple."
"But Shopkeeper Ten, there were gambling games like this in previous Qingzhou Sword Competitions, but most of them had extremely high upper limits. I believe you can make a few thousand or tens of thousands of taels of silver, but you are kidding me if you can make hundreds of thousands or even millions of spirit stones?"
Taoist Taihua said this without blushing or getting nervous, but he was very curious.
He knew from previous Qingzhou Kendo Conferences that there was usually a limit to the bets, so no matter how lucky you were, no one would dare to take the chance.
So Taoist Taihua was a little skeptical about making hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
Shi Liang Jin was also a shrewd man. He didn't care at all about Taoist Taihua's previous attitude towards him. To him, as long as he could make money, enduring a little humiliation was nothing.
In this day and age, if you want to get money without doing anything, do you think you are Ding Sanshi?
"Taihua Immortal, you are in the sect, so you may not know much about the outside world. This Qingzhou Sword Conference has attracted the attention of the whole country."
Shi Liang Jin explained.
"The whole country is paying attention? Why?"
Taoist Taihua was a little curious.
"Sikong Jiantian also participated in the Qingzhou Kendo Conference."
When Shi Liang Jin opened his mouth, Taoist Taihua was surprised for a moment.
"Sikong Jiantian is also coming to the Kendo Conference?"
Taoist Taihua was surprised. Who in the whole Jin State didn’t know Sikong Jiantian?
If this is true, then it is normal for the whole country to pay attention to it.
"Yes, it is precisely because Sikong Jiantian is also participating in the Qingzhou Kendo Conference that the entire Jin State is paying attention to this Kendo Conference. However, it is not only Sikong Jiantian who is the most concerned. Your two disciples are also receiving much attention."
"This time, a big chamber of commerce is the banker. If we manage it a little, it will be simply..."
Having said this, he stopped talking about the ten taels of gold.
But the meaning is obvious.
Taoist Taihua was also a smart man. He understood what the ten taels of gold meant in an instant.
In previous Qingzhou Kendo Conferences, there were people who acted as the banker, but there was a cap, so there was no possibility of fraud.
This time, because of Sikong Jiantian, the entire Jin State was paying attention to this war. With attention, there are naturally interests involved. Once there are interests involved, it will attract rich people to take charge.
If you can control winning or losing, then you will make a lot of money.
After realizing this, Taoist Taihua was completely excited.
"How should we do it specifically?"
Taoist Taihua stopped pretending and asked directly.
Everything is false now, except the spirit stone which is the most real.
What does the ranking matter? Ye Ping and Su Changyu both made it to the top eight, so wouldn’t it be more than enough for them to advance to the third rank?
In addition, Sikong Jiantian is also participating in the competition, so it is basically difficult to get first place. The best ranking is probably second place.
However, there is no difference between the second and the eighth, but if you can make a profit from it, it would be really great.
So Taoist Taihua was moved, really moved.
"Shangxian Taihua, the most controversial figures in the Qingzhou Sword Competition happen to be your two disciples. My idea is very simple. Let's make a trial bet on the quarterfinals. If your two disciples can meet in the semifinals, then we will make a lot of money."
"We will make whoever has the highest odds lose. This way, it will be a complete upset. The Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes can earn a lot of spirit stones, and we can also profit from it. It's a win-win situation. What do you think?"
Ten ounces of gold and these words made Taoist Taihua very excited.
Thinking about it carefully, it is true. He was a little worried before. After all, you have earned the dealer's spirit stones, and there is no guarantee that the other party will not investigate.
But if it's an upset, the dealer will make money, and they will make money too, and the unlucky ones will be the gamblers.
However, Taoist Taihua still felt a little reluctant and said, "If it really is an upset, then those who placed the bets will..."
Taoist Taihua felt a little bit reluctant and always felt that he owed something.
It’s just ten taels of gold, but he sneered and shook his head.
"Taihua Immortal, you are wrong about this. How many gamblers are good?"
"Even if we don't get involved, will these gamblers definitely win?"
"Even if they can win? Can they win forever?"
"Even once they win, they will want to win more. They will never stop. If they win, they want to win more. If they lose, they want to make up for their losses. Everyone is pitiful these days, except gamblers. It is indeed inappropriate for us to do this."
"But isn't that how the world is? Some people are born with plenty of food and clothing, while others are born without enough to eat a full meal."
"My Lord, I am just an ordinary person with ten taels of gold. I will give some money to poor people, but I also need to eat and survive. In this day and age, people laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes. When you are poor, your kindness and righteousness will only make you a laughing stock."
Shi Liang Jin's words were spoken in a very decisive manner.
The hesitation on Taoist Taihua's face gradually disappeared.
Because he was right.
"How do you calculate the principal?"
Taoist Taihua continued to ask.
"The principal is very simple, 40% to 60%. I'll pay 60% and you'll pay 40%. If you don't have it, I can lend it to the Immortal Master first, and we'll split the total profit 50-50."
This is what Shi Liang Jin said.
"If this can be done, then we'll split it 70% and I'll pay 30% of the capital, and you'll pay 70%."
Taoist Taihua thought about it for a while and then told him the distribution ratio.
At that moment, Shi Liang Jin pondered for a while, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "30-70 is 30-70, but Immortal Taihua must convince your two disciples. After all, if we want to earn more, we can't lose less capital. We can't afford to lose."
It doesn't matter if you put up 70% of the principal, but the premise is that there can be no mistakes. After all, the profit sharing is 50-50. It's just that the risk you bear is greater.
"I can't guarantee that, but I'll write a letter and we'll get a definite answer before we place our bets. How about that?"
Taoist Taihua was not sure whether Su Changyu and Ye Ping were willing to take this job.
If they don't want to, there's nothing we can do, after all it's a matter of personal will.
"Okay, Immortal Taihua, let's go down the mountain first and talk while we walk?"
Shi Liang Jin nodded, he wouldn't do it unless he was sure of success.
"Okay, by the way, who has higher odds of losing now?"
"Sikong Jiantian has the highest odds of losing, 20 to 1, your eldest disciple has the second highest odds, 10 to 1, and your youngest disciple has the third highest odds, 5 to 1."
"What? My eldest disciple is paying 10 to 1? What's the point of flying pigeons? Just bet on him to lose."
The voices of Taoist Taihua and Shi Liang Jin gradually disappeared in the Qingyun Mountains.
That's it.
The list of the quarterfinals appeared again, and Ye Ping, Sikong Jiantian and Su Changyu withdrew from the competition again.
The final list of the semi-finals was also announced at noon.
[Ye Ping vs. Wang Minghao]
[Su Changyu vs. Sikong Jiantian]
As soon as the list came out, the entire ancient city of Qingzhou was in an uproar.
In less than half a day, the entire Jin State was in an uproar.
Chapter 99 This person is the peerless swordsman, he must be killed! [New book request everything]
Qingzhou ancient city.
After the list of the top four contestants of the sword test appeared, the entire ancient city of Qingzhou was in an uproar.
Because all the monks were waiting for this scene.
Originally, the Qingzhou Kendo Conference was just a competition within one state, and was basically only of interest to the monks in Qingzhou.
However, with the joining of Sikong Jiantian, this Qingzhou Kendo Conference attracted attention from all over Jin State.
What’s depressing is that the three most controversial monks in the competition never did anything at all.
That is, in the first match, Ye Ping took action once, and people kept giving up the match afterwards.
Sikong Jiantian and Su Changyu didn't even make a move, which made the monks who came to watch the sword test a little depressed.
Everyone wanted to watch a battle between masters, not come here for tourism, which caused a lot of controversy for a while.
And now the Kendo tournament judges have finally done something humane.
Let Ye Ping fight with Wang Minghao.
It also allowed Su Changyu and Sikong Jiantian to fight.
The strength is evenly distributed, which just meets the needs of all the cultivators in Qingzhou Ancient City.
After all, if Su Changyu and Wang Minghao were to fight, it would be meaningless.
Although Wang Minghao won eight games in a row and was indeed strong, in everyone's mind, Su Changyu's strength was unfathomable. In the entire Qingzhou Kendo Conference, only Sikong Jiantian could compete with him.
The battle between Ye Ping and Wang Minghao also fits the bill perfectly, as both of them demonstrated impressive strength.
