Hell Emperor.

Chapter 524 Ye Jie - Gambling
Qingdi City.

With Fairy Yunxiao being captured and Qinglian Palace withdrawing its troops, the city also ushered in a brief period of peace.

Ye Jie was flipping through the stitching pages in his hand. As he was promoted to the Six Dings and Six Jias, his own cultivation also reached the peak of the third transformation. After that, he only needed to be promoted once more to enter the fourth transformation realm.

On the stitched page, the cold ink appeared again:

[The positions that can be promoted to Immortal Officials are as follows:]

[Profitable Immortal Official: Three rivers gather treasures, five roads attract silver. The lowest rank is limited to the early stage of the fourth revolution, and promotion requires 540 merits of the fourth revolution or a large gold ingot. ]

[Four-valued Gongcao: The Great Dao is invisible, but Gongcao has a presence. The lowest rank is limited to the middle stage of the fourth revolution, and promotion requires one thousand and four revolution merits or four Gongcao documents.]

[Cangming Fishing Saint: Fishing in the cold river, a basket of big fish. The lowest rank is limited to the late fourth revolution, and the required promotion is 5,000 fourth revolution merits or a basket of fish. ]

After reading the message on the stitching page, Ye Jie understood.

"If you want to continue to advance, you have to collect gold ingots. The ingots made from smelting earthly gold can certainly meet the promotion requirements, but they cannot unlock the unique power of the immortal official... You must collect the extremely precious gold ingots."

Ye Jie had already deeply realized the power of the immortal officials.

After being promoted to the Six Dings and Six Jias, with the power of Tiangang, which symbolizes the Yang God, and the power of Shensha, which symbolizes the Yin God, he defeated the Fairy Yunxiao, whose cultivation was far superior to his, by relying solely on his authority without using any power.

However, Ye Jie couldn't help feeling embarrassed about his future promotion.

This big gold ingot is not a magic weapon, how can we identify its preciousness? Can an ingot made of spiritual stone still be called a gold ingot?
When he was in trouble, Ye Jie was inspired by his previous experience of being promoted to the Six Dings and Six Jias.

"The Liuhe Treasure Mirrors used for advancement were all taken from the Six Dings and Six Jias themselves. Those immortal officials all carry this unique magical instrument that symbolizes their status... I remember that the Lishi immortal official was holding a large gold ingot in his hand. Maybe we can find a way from him."

While Ye Jie was thinking, the report from his subordinates also woke his attention.

"Palace Master, the Jiawu God General is seeking an audience outside the city."

Ye Jie nodded and said, "Let him come to see me."

Soon, the Jiawu divine general dressed in red armor was brought in front of Ye Jie.

"Palace Master Ye, we meet again." Upon seeing Ye Jie, the Jiawu God General spoke slowly.

Ye Jie smiled and said, "The last time we met was on the battlefield. We parted in a hurry and I haven't thanked the Jiawu God General for his help. If the God General hadn't taken out the Liuhe Treasure Mirror, I'm afraid the outcome of this battle would be hard to predict."

The Jiawu God waved his hand and said, "Palace Master Ye, why should you be so modest? I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for Palace Master Ye risking his life and using the power of the Golden Dragon Shears to cut off the red thread of my marriage, I'm afraid I would have been trapped by this for countless years to come."

Ye Jie was a little curious: "By the way... have you seen General Ding Si since that battle?"

The Jiawu God General shook his head: "After that day, the people in the Qinglian Palace blamed me for the failure and forbade me to accept missions in the palace. I haven't seen her since. But it doesn't matter. With the identity of a God General, I will not have to worry about not getting missions in the future. At most, the reward will be a little less."

Hearing this, Ye Jie couldn't help but wonder: "The God General is an immortal official appointed by the Heavenly Court. Why doesn't he report to the Heavenly Court, but instead keeps accepting employment from human forces? Won't this have any impact?"

General Jiawu smiled and said, "Palace Master Ye, you don't know that it's not as practical to earn extra money by going out and earning a fixed salary in the Heavenly Palace. Besides, one day in Heaven is one year on Earth. I only need to show my face in the Heavenly Palace every few decades, and no one will be blind enough to investigate anything. You must know that the one who directly commands the twelve of us, the Six Dings and Six Jias, is the True Martial Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable. Even the Northern Sacred Beast, the Black Tortoise, is his mount."

Hearing this, Ye Jie couldn't help but take a breath.

The entire Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, including the cave master, are descendants of Xuanwu who inherited Xuanwu's blood. Their strength is not even as strong as Xuanwu's. Xuanwu is even the mount of Zhenwu Dangmo Tianzun. No one knows how powerful that existence is.

After learning this news, Ye Jie couldn't help but become interested. He had seen the strength of Jiawu God General. Although he was not as powerful as Pan Tianxun, he was more than enough to deal with ordinary immortals:

"In that case, can I hire a divine general and let him defend me against the enemy?"

To Ye Jie's disappointment, General Jiawu said regretfully, "I'm very sorry... Beiming Sword Sect has already hired me. I heard that there are some unusual movements there, and they need me to go and check it out. I came here to say goodbye to Palace Master Ye. Maybe we can have a chance to cooperate again in the future."

Although Ye Jie felt regretful, he could only let it go since things had come to this point. He suddenly remembered something and said, "Maybe I will go to the North Sea to explore soon, and I will definitely visit the God General then."

General Jiawu agreed with a smile, said goodbye, and finally left Qingdi City.

The figure of the Jiawu God General was also seen by other partners, and they talked about it endlessly for a while.

Hua Xiaomei was secretly shocked and couldn't help but sigh: "Can the fate of the world be cut off by a pair of scissors? The power of the second-grade artifact is so terrifying..."

Xie Xinyu subconsciously took a few steps back, away from Nan Linghe who was holding the golden scissors: "Don't come near me, I don't want the red thread of marriage to be cut off."

Nan Linghe smiled innocently. She held the scissors with both hands and made two hard cuts. The scissors became bigger and bigger in her hands.

Yao Yin glanced at this scene, and there was a hint of reminiscence in the depths of her bright eyes: "Marriage... Many years ago, I also had a marriage."

Beside her, Su Miao blinked her eyes, showing curiosity: "Sister Yaoyin actually has a marriage partner? How come I have never heard of this? I wonder which family's ideal husband can be favored by Sister Yaoyin."

Yao Yin shook her head and refused to talk about it: "That happened a long time ago, so long ago that I almost forgot about it. You were not even born at that time, so it's better not to mention it."

Su Miao pouted her lips with a look of dissatisfaction. Yao Yin's words had aroused her curiosity, but no matter how she asked, Yao Yin remained silent, which drove her crazy.

After the Jiawu God General left, before Ye Jie could have a chance to rest, several distinguished guests arrived outside the city.

It was indeed true that he was a distinguished guest. When I looked closely, I found that it was actually the God of Wealth.

If this kind of good thing happened to other people, they would be so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, but in the eyes of the people in Qingdi City, they were just on guard as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Palace Master, the Immortal Officer of Profit and the Heavenly Lord of Treasures request to see you."

Ye Jie looked serious. The God of Wealth coming to his house had a special meaning. To reject the God of Wealth was to cut off one's own financial resources. No one would be stupid enough to do that.
"I was just wondering how to find the God of Wealth, but I didn't expect him to come to my door. But, there are not just one, but two Gods of Wealth? I want to see what tricks they have to make them come to see me."

Soon, the two gods of wealth came to Ye Jie. Compared with the last time, the Immortal Officer of Profit had not changed much. He held a copper abacus in his left hand and a gold ingot in his right hand, with a fake smile on his face. Beside him, the Heavenly Lord of Treasures held a jade ruyi and a treasure bowl in his arms, with his eyebrows raised, looking intimidating without even being angry. "You are the one who captured the Great Elder of the Green Lotus Palace? Why don't you release Fairy Yunxiao quickly!"

As soon as they arrived, Zhaobao Tianzun shouted harshly, and the pressure from the God of Wealth enveloped them, making the space as heavy as if it were real.

Ye Jie looked calm: "Fairy Yunxiao is my captive now. If you want me to release her, you need to give me a satisfactory compensation."

"you!"

Zhaobao Tianzun was about to get angry, but Lishi Xianguan took the initiative to stop him:

"Okay, harmony brings wealth, why are you quarreling right away?"

Under his persuasion, Zhaobao Tianzun stopped talking, and he looked at Ye Jie again:

"Master Ziwei, I think you already know the purpose of our trip. We beg you to release Fairy Yunxiao. We will give you corresponding compensation. What do you think of 10 billion Yinde?"

Ye Jie shook his head repeatedly: "A mere 10 billion? Do you think you are sending away beggars? Don't think I don't know that the Yin merchants in the Qinglian Palace are all very rich. Any one of them has billions of Yin virtues. Since you are so insincere, I think there is no need to talk anymore. Unless you bring the main account of the Qinglian Palace, I will not release Fairy Yunxiao."

Zhaobao Tianzun was furious: "What a Ziwei Palace Master! You actually don't want the good karma given to you by the God of Wealth. I think you are refusing to accept my offer. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Ye Jie looked calm: "So what if you don't want it? You can cut off the financial resources of humans and ghosts, but can you cut off the financial resources of Shura?"

As soon as the words fell, Shura's cold murderous intent was released. The biting murderous aura was like the cold winter, and even the two gods of wealth were shocked.

The wealth controlled by the God of Wealth is all about merchants who make money through harmony. As for Shura, he is totally involved in murder and robbery. The one we should worship is not the God of Wealth, but the Lord of the Mara Palace!

Li Shi Xianguan quickly said, "Palace Master Ziwei, there is no need to be angry. No matter how harsh the conditions are, there is always room for negotiation. I believe that in the end, we will get a satisfactory answer for both parties."

After a pause, the Lishi Immortal Official spoke again: "Regarding the release of Fairy Yunxiao, in addition to the previous conditions, I have another suggestion. I hope that Master Ziwei will consider it carefully."

Ye Jie nodded: "Why not tell me about it?"

"I have met the Purple Star Palace Master once before in Wanshou Country. That time in the gambling house, the Purple Star Palace Master found some talented people and defeated me head-on in a gambling fight. I was really unwilling to accept this, so I might as well take this opportunity to compete with him again. However, this time it was not me who came out to gamble, but Zhaobao Tianzun who was beside me."

"A gambling fight? It sounds interesting." Ye Jie spoke slowly.

Seeing that Ye Jie was interested, the Li Shi Immortal Officer continued, "If he wins, please ask Palace Master Ye to release Fairy Yun Xiao as punishment for losing the bet."

Ye Jie asked again: "What if he loses?"

"I will lose? Hahaha..." Zhaobao Tianzun laughed out loud, as if he had heard the funniest joke. Ye Jie must be the first person who dared to question the God of Wealth's gambling skills. "I think you don't understand how powerful the God of Wealth is!"

Ye Jie looked calm: "Since it is a bet, there must be corresponding stakes. Without stakes, this bet is not valid at all. Let me ask again, what if he loses?"

The Li Shi Xianguan took a deep breath and confirmed with Ye Jie: "If he loses, we will give out 10 billion Yin De."

Hearing this, Ye Jie couldn't help but sneer, and said to Zhao Bao Tianzun: "Aren't you sure that you won't lose? Why don't you dare to use the Qinglian Palace Master's account as a bet? Don't you dare?"

Zhao Bao Tianzun widened his eyes: "Do you think I'm afraid? Anyway, I'm sure to win, so I'll..."

Before he finished speaking, the Immortal Officer Li Shi interrupted him: "Palace Master Ziwei, you don't know that the account of Palace Master Qinglian is not in our hands, but in the hands of the God of Wealth. As one of the Gods of Wealth, we will certainly not promise a bet that we cannot afford... I hope that Palace Master Ziwei will change the bet. As long as it is something we own, it can be used as a bet."

Ye Jie's mouth curled up. He was waiting for this sentence: "In this case, I don't want anything else. I just want the big gold ingot in your hand. What do you think?"

"This……"

The Immortal Official of Profit was a little hesitant. This big gold ingot, like the abacus, was a symbol of his being the God of Wealth. If he lost it, many of his magical powers would be impossible to use.

"What is there to worry about? Don't you trust me?"

In the back, Zhaobao Tianzun's constant urging made Lishi Xianguan hesitate. He gritted his teeth and finally chose to trust his companions. He said to Ye Jie:
"Since this is the request of the Purple Star Palace Master, I will use this big gold ingot as a bet. If we win, the Purple Star Palace Master will release Fairy Yunxiao. If we lose, this big gold ingot will belong to you."

"It's a word."

Ye Jie agreed immediately.

Obviously, Fairy Yunxiao's value could not be exchanged for the account of the master of Qinglian Palace. Ye Jie said this just to ask for a sky-high price. Being able to use Fairy Yunxiao as a bet equivalent to the big gold ingots has already made Ye Jie very satisfied.

"How do we bet? Should I propose it?"

Ye Jie asked, with Nan Linghe around, he was not afraid of the God of Wealth who had amazing gambling skills.

Zhao Bao Tianzun spoke slowly: "You can propose it, but for the sake of fairness, the rules of the gambling game require the consent of both parties. As long as one party disagrees, we have to change the rules."

Ye Jie nodded, it sounded very reasonable, and then he called Nan Linghe over.

Upon seeing Nan Linghe, Li Shi Xianguan recalled some bad memories and quietly reminded Zhao Bao Tianzun: "If she wants to count the stars, you must not agree."

"Counting stars? What does that mean?"

Zhaobao Tianzun frowned, not taking the reminder into consideration at all, and turned to look at Ye Jie:

"Since you are the Lord of Yama Palace, let's gamble on someone's death!"

"What? How do you bet like that?" Ye Jie frowned, not understanding what this meant.

Zhaobao Tianzun looked up and slowly explained the rules: "There are people dying every moment in this world, and their ways of death are different. Let's bet on how many people will die of old age in Northern Juluzhou until midnight tonight!"
