The liver is a late bloomer!

"Ru Hai, don't think so much."

"I'm doing this so that we can do something big in the future."

"You go fight, I'll stay behind and bet against those big powers. We'll both earn a huge amount of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals," Mu Chunlei transmitted his voice.

"You might earn it, but will you live to spend it?"

During this time, Xu Chen has gradually come to understand some of the rules of the Dark Dao Network. Although it is impossible to detect cause and effect within it, identity information is absolutely confidential.

However, if enough information is revealed within the Dark Dao Network, it is inevitable that their identities in the real world will be discovered.

Upon hearing Xu Chen's words, Mu Chunlei revealed a meaningful smile.

"Just tell me, do you want to or not?"

"Then how will the profits be divided?"

“Of course, it’s a 50/50 split,” Mu Chunlei said immediately.

"I'm fighting for my life in the world of combat, and I want to take 80%."

"Too much, 60%!"

"Seventy percent. If it doesn't work out, then forget it." Xu Chen said, getting up to leave.

"Seventy percent, seventy percent," Mu Chunlei said through gritted teeth.

"I'm only responsible for fighting, I don't contribute any funds."

After listening to Xu Chen's conditions, Mu Chunlei hesitated for a moment before nodding and finally stating his own conditions.

"But I need to know your combat strength level."

Xu Chen recalled the combat strength of the seventh elder's nephew from Shenmu Academy.

"Barely made it into the list of 100,000 prodigies."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chunlei's eyes immediately lit up.

When is your next battle?

"Still three days from now," Xu Chen said.

"Cancellation is up to me."

"I can make you at least 500 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals in one game!"

"Then add my bet to the total."

"can."

Xu Chen immediately found the manager of the gambling arena to cancel the match scheduled for three days later and retrieve the Dao Origin Immortal Crystals he had won.

A bustling restaurant within the Dark Dao Network.

The table full of delicious dishes made Mu Chunlei feel extremely distressed.

“Everything is expensive in the Dark Dao Network. This meal is worth more than a dozen meals for the Divine Clan,” Mu Chunlei said.

"Since it's so expensive, we should really enjoy it."

As Xu Chen began to savor the food, Mu Chunlei followed suit and started eating as well.

“With your strength, if we’re careful, you can get at least 100 million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals,” Mu Chunlei said while eating.

"Is that all?" Xu Chen was not satisfied with the number; these Dao Origin Immortal Crystals were only enough for him to cultivate for more than three hundred years.

"Isn't this enough? Are you trying to buy an innate spiritual treasure?" Mu Chunlei said with a sneer.

"Can I buy it?" Xu Chen's eyes lit up.

"Of course you can't buy it among the Divine Race. In the Dark Dao Network, this thing requires the Great Dao Divine Source."

"However, if you become stronger and reach the middle of the 100,000 Prodigies Ranking, I might risk taking out that innate spiritual treasure embryo to gamble," Mu Chunlei said expectantly to Xu Chen.

"You think too much~"

Xu Chen felt the nourishing power of the dish within his body and once again marveled at the magic of this dish.

"Once I find you a worthy opponent, you can come and fight. Then we can both benefit from this."

As Mu Chunlei was leaving after the dinner, he made sure to say something to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen returned to his temporary cave dwelling and prepared to rest for a few days.

The next day, just as Xu Chen was thinking about which restaurant to try, a message came from the Dark Dao Network.

In the arena, Xu Chen looked at Mu Chunlei, frowned, and asked, "With your speed, you didn't just find me any random opponent, did you?"

"How could that be? I've been in the gambling arena for millions of years, how could I possibly find you just any opponent?"

"With your abilities, you could easily crush them, but you still have to put on an act."

Xu Chen nodded to indicate that he understood.

Half a day later, in the eighty-sixth battle world, Xu Chen saw his opponent.

A young man from the God-King Clan with an ordinary appearance, but he exuded a rich life force and had a compassionate expression on his face.

The young man from the Divine Race gently waved the green staff in his hand, looking calmly at Xu Chen.

"You are strong, but I will not lose."

Outside the battle world, Mu Chunlei and another elder of the God Clan were facing off.

"Little Lei, you dare to gamble against me? Be careful you don't lose your life savings." The old man from the Yushen Clan looked at Mu Chunlei with disdain.

"The situation is still undecided, so it's best not to make any harsh statements. Besides, we're just betting for fun, so let's not ruin our relationship."

"Come, come, have some tea."

Mu Chunlei skillfully set up a tea table and began brewing tea.

In the battle world, accompanied by the sound of battle starting, a rich life force suddenly erupted on the battlefield.

The young man from the Divine Race, wielding a pair of giant hammers, transformed into a colossal spirit.

That rich life force transformed into a special world of life, where the giant spirit's true form would be immortal as long as it remained within it.

"A body-refining expert who specializes in the path of life." Xu Chen had seen such Golden Immortal realm experts among the human race, but he had never fought against them.

"I've seen the light and shadow of your battle; such a pure swordsmanship master is rare indeed."

"Today, let's fight to our hearts' content."

The young man from the Divine Race suddenly shook the void with his twin hammers.

In an instant, the entire battle world centered on the young god-like figure began to slowly shatter.

That immense life force began to penetrate deep into the void.

A newly acquired spiritual treasure sword appeared in Xu Chen's hand, and the sword intent and Dharma image behind him were faintly visible.

"I'm coming~"

As the young man from the Divine Race spoke, the true form of the Giant Spirit swung its twin hammers and smashed them towards Xu Chen.

Using brute force to break through magic, the immense power carried by the swinging of the double hammers was something Xu Chen dared not underestimate at this stage.

"Sword kills seven lives, giant sword annihilates spirits!"

Xu Chen also transformed into his sword avatar, which was the same size as his real body, and wielded his giant sword to directly clash with the opponent's.

With the blessing of the Great Dao of Life, Xu Chenzhen, in his sealed state, had no good means to deal with the situation and could only use his own powerful origin to forcibly deplete the young man of the Divine Race.

"The kid you found is very clever, but unfortunately, he can't win," the old man from outside the battle world said with a chuckle.

"That's not necessarily true. Your subordinate has already made four or five appearances. If you're not confident, I'm willing to bet against you," Mu Chunlei retorted, not to be outdone.

"We'll have to wait and see. He specializes in swordsmanship; I don't believe his own innate talent is that strong."

In the battle world, Xu Chen's sword dharma form has begun to overwhelm the giant spirit's true form.

Although the young man from the Divine Race had no solution to the Dao of Life, he was clearly a notch weaker than Xu Chen in terms of combat experience.

For every sword strike Xu Chen wielded, the young man from the Divine Clan had to consume his own life force to repair it.

By the third day of the battle, the young member of the Yushin clan could no longer help but show signs of fatigue.

Upon seeing this, the elder of the Yushin clan in the audience immediately told the young man to admit defeat.

After the battle ended, Xu Chen, who had left the battle world, looked at Mu Chunlei and asked curiously.

"Can you admit defeat?" "Of course not in a normal battle, but there aren't so many rules when the two sides are betting. As long as you pay a certain price, admitting defeat is not out of the question."

"What price?"

"100 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals".

"That's okay."

Compared to killing him, Xu Chen felt that the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals were more worthwhile.

"Come on~"

Xu Chen reached out his hand to Mu Chunlei.

"Keep it with me, and I'll place the bet for you later."

"Let me see how many there are first."

"Including your bet, the total is 1032 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, which is more than expected."

Mu Chunlei took out a spatial treasure chest and handed it to Xu Chen.

After examining it with his divine sense, Xu Chen directly stored it in his spatial treasure.

“Let’s continue our cooperation. Next time, I’ll just place my bets directly in the arena,” Xu Chen said with a smile.

"We've been working together so well, and you're actually wary of me," Mu Chunlei said, heartbroken.

"Compared to our relationship, I trust the arena more," Xu Chen said before leaving the arena.

Inside the temporary cave, Xu Chen looked at the more than 1000 million Dao Origin Immortal Crystals and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Sure enough, shady ways are the fastest way to make money."

"Once I've gathered 1 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, I'll stop and go to the Myriad Dao Sacred Hall to cultivate."

"Let's continue in a few hundred years."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he put away the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystal.

In the following six months, Xu Chen fought five battles under Mu Chunlei's arrangement, obtaining a total of 130 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

Xu Chen originally planned to bet as much as he won, but Mu Chunlei told him that if the stakes were too high, they wouldn't accept the bets.

Inside a luxurious restaurant in the Dark Dao Network.

“Perfect timing. You can cultivate for a few hundred years, and then we can continue.”

"Having your opponent concede defeat in five consecutive battles has already attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the gambling arena. If this continues..." Mu Chunlei paused here.

"What will happen if we keep fighting? Will the arena send a strong fighter to battle me?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"Highly likely, and the expert they send will most likely be able to defeat you," Mu Chunlei said.

"Why is this so?"

"It cannot be said; you will naturally know in time."

"Alright, let's contact each other again in 500 years." Xu Chen nodded slightly.

"it is good."

After exiting the Dark Dao Network, Xu Chen left his temporary cave dwelling and teleported to the Outer Realm Main World.

Inside Da Xu's cave, as usual, Da Xu was refining components for a postnatal spiritual treasure.

"Judging from your appearance, you must have made good progress. Are you about to start cultivating?" Da Xu asked after glancing at Xu Chen.

"I've earned 130 million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals. This time, I'm going to cultivate in the Myriad Dao Holy Temple for 400 years and see how much I can improve." Xu Chen was somewhat eager to try.

"Um, could you give me 20 million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals?" Da Xu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Why so many all of a sudden?" Xu Chen was taken aback.

"I suddenly had a better idea. I wanted to add more parts to the Spirit Treasure Factory. The materials needed are very expensive among the Divine Race."

“If we stop to earn the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, it might take a thousand years,” Da Xu said seriously.

"How much will the power increase after adding that component?" Xu Chen asked after a moment's hesitation.

"It can increase the power by 20%, making the refining of acquired spiritual treasures faster. In addition, over time, it can also absorb the great light emitted when the acquired spiritual treasure is successfully refined, and the power will become stronger and stronger over time."

"Perhaps it can automatically advance to the level of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure in the future," Da Xu said.

"for you."

Xu Chen took out two treasure chests and handed them to Da Xu with some reluctance.

"Don't worry, Master. Your efforts will definitely pay off. Once the Spirit Treasure Factory is successfully completed, refining acquired spirit treasures will be as easy as refining immortal artifacts."

"At that time, we will still be afraid of lacking the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals."

Xu, who was refining a postnatal spiritual treasure, waved his hand and put away the two treasure chests, without delaying the refining of the postnatal spiritual treasure at all.

"You continue with your work, I'm coming over."

I originally wanted to chat with Da Xu, but with 20 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals missing, my enthusiasm for chatting has waned.

In the Hall of Myriad Paths, Xu Chen successfully entered the single Heavenly Dao world.

Within the Pure Yang Heavenly Dao World, Xu Chen sat cross-legged, feeling the rich Yang Dao, slowly absorbing and comprehending it, constructing his first Dantian World.

Thirty years later, within the world of the Yin Dao, Xu Chen continued his comprehension.

Then, the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) were used to comprehend each Heavenly Dao world for thirty years.

After comprehending all these Heavenly Dao worlds, Xu Chen quickly returned to his temporary cave dwelling and released the remaining pure essence of the Great Dao.

Xu Chen synthesized his insights from these Heavenly Dao worlds and began to construct his first Dantian world.

The vast dantian world expanded rapidly, frantically absorbing the primordial energy of the Great Dao.

A century later, the first Dantian world expanded to eighty million zhang.

Xu Chen stopped cultivating and felt his own strength growing.

"The first dantian world has grown by more than ten million zhang, which translates to more than sixty million jin of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals. If you calculate it that way, it's not bad."

"continue."

Xu Chen added some of the remaining Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, which supported him in cultivating in these Heavenly Dao Worlds for another round.

But this time, the first dantian world only expanded by eight million zhang.

"I never imagined that the Dao insights required after the initial expansion of the dantian world would be so numerous."

Xu Chen stroked his chin, feeling that his plans needed to be changed.

"We should also cultivate the second and third dantian worlds later, as this will be more cost-effective."

In the dark web of gambling, Mu Chunlei, who was gambling for fun, was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

"You've used up all the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals?" Mu Chunlei looked Xu Chen up and down, a smile appearing on his face.

"It's a little later than the agreed time, but it doesn't matter."

"Let me teach you something. In a casino, all information is transparent, including which Dao Origin Immortal Crystals you have obtained."

"If you're going to use these Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals for cultivation, it's best not to make it too obvious in terms of time. Otherwise, if too much time passes, some powerful figures in the arena might find you," Mu Chunlei grinned.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen thought for a moment, then ordered a pot of immortal tea and invited Mu Chunlei to drink it as a token of his gratitude.

"Actually, even if you're discovered, it's fine as long as your identity isn't that sensitive."

"But if it's a different race, they might be targeted," Mu Chunlei said with a smile, sipping his immortal tea.

"Let's continue cooperating and plan the battle."

"How much can we make this time?" Xu Chen silently remembered what Mu Chunlei said.

"We'll get about 100 million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals from these two matches," Mu Chunlei said.

Xu Chen was startled when he heard the number.

"Why so many?"

"Because your strength assessment has improved, once you enter the level of the 100,000 Prodigies Ranking, every bet will attract a lot of attention."

"Between the betting, acting as the bookmaker, and after deducting the gambling arena's cut, it's normal to earn this much." (End of Chapter)
