The liver is a late bloomer!

"Basic explanation of the Dao of the Sword, 5 Dao Origin Immortal Crystals per person."

"The Dao of Spatial Blade is transmitted, the Dao of Soaring Grand Venerable is transmitted, and each person receives 300,000 Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals."

There were tens of thousands of such messages on the light screen. Xu Chen was interested in some of them, but he only glanced at them.

After leaving the Xuanhuang Dojo, Xu Chen arrived at the place where he had once bought the immortal supernatural powers of the Nebula Clan.

Inside a mysterious space, a mechanical voice rang out as soon as one entered.

"Distinguished guest, what do you need?"

"I want the strongest cultivation techniques and immortal abilities among the top ten races with Saint Venerable experts around the God Clan."

All the previous Dao Origin Immortal Crystals were used for cultivation. Now that I have 500 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, I can finally buy what I need.

When Xu Chen was a child attending classes in the human race, his teachers taught him that if he were to become a strong person in the future, he should first record his observations of the ruling class of the powerful alien race when he encountered them outside the human race's territory, and secondly, try to obtain their cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities and bring them back to the Human Emperor Temple.

Before reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm, all the races Xu Chen encountered were alien races that had already been included in his records. Apart from some rather secret information, he didn't need to worry about the others.

But upon arriving in this territory of the Divine Race, everything was brand new, and Xu Chen felt it necessary to acquire more special products, cultivation techniques, and supernatural abilities to take back to the Human Emperor Temple for research.

Ten light screens instantly appeared in front of Xu Chen, each marked with the top-tier cultivation techniques and immortal supernatural abilities of the alien race.

"Buy all 80 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals."

Xu Chen looked at the descriptions of the techniques and supernatural abilities on each light screen and felt that although these techniques were not as good as those of the human race, there were still some aspects that were worth learning from. After taking them back, the Human Emperor Temple could deduce several more techniques and supernatural abilities suitable for human cultivation from them.

"Buy!" Xu Chen took out 80 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

"Let's wait a few thousand years, and after Da Xu finishes refining the spiritual treasures in the factory, we'll go to the gambling arena for the final battle," Xu Chen planned in his mind.

In the main hall of the seventh branch of Shenmu Academy.

The Seventh Elder looked at Xu Chen's clone below the stage.

"Tell your true form to stop hiding from me. If you don't want to leave any bloodline behind, then forget it. My promise still stands." The Seventh Elder's leisurely voice echoed throughout the main hall.

"The main body is currently in seclusion. I will notify you after the seclusion is completed."

"I have come to see the Seventh Elder with good news."

"My student Yue Wuyou has made rapid progress in alchemy recently and has already made initial contact with the realm of a Saint-grade alchemist." Xu Chen's clone smiled, but cursed the Seventh Elder in his heart.

There's no need to preserve our bloodline; we might just lose our lives here.

Recently, he heard a piece of news that the family of the Seventh Elder had obtained a recipe for a divine-grade pill. The name of the divine-grade pill was the Spirit Lamp Divine Pill. Its function was to extract the three lamps from the body of a living being, using the true spirit of the living being as a guide, and then refining it with many spiritual treasure-level materials.

When a true spirit below the Immortal Path consumes the Spirit Lamp Divine Pill, one of the three lamps within its body will ignite; the specific type depends on the type of all the spirit lamps within the true spirit's body.

This is the news that Xu Chen's clone heard from his students.

"Excellent. With the training of three Saint-grade alchemists, your true form can now embark on the journey home." The Seventh Elder nodded slightly, his expression full of satisfaction.

If his branch school produces many Saint-level alchemists, he will be rewarded by the clan.

At this moment, Xu Chen was in his temporary cave dwelling looking at the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities he had purchased. He was preparing to select a few immortal supernatural abilities to learn.

Within the territory of the Divine Race, Xu Chen did not want to reveal his cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities.

At this moment, Xu Chen received a message from his clone within his soul.

"Huh? They're starting to plot against me!" Xu Chen exclaimed in surprise.

If one were to use one's own clan's most outstanding talents to refine such an evil elixir, it would be an unforgivable crime.

However, if it is a different race, then it is a contribution to one's own race.

Many of the human alchemy formulas incorporate ingredients from other races. Xu Chen didn't think much of it when he was looking at the formulas, but now, looking at them from the opposite perspective, he suddenly felt a sense of wickedness.

"If they were after my life, they certainly wouldn't make a move in the outer capital world."

"But I'll be passing through the Star Chart Tower when I leave. If they want my life, they'll probably have to wait until after the teleportation is complete." Xu Chen stroked his chin, deducing the possible actions the Seventh Elder might take.

"Let's not rush. Let's see how the Seventh Elder reacts first. He'll probably try to appease me and give me something when I leave. Shouldn't we take precautions?"

Thinking of this, Xu Chen sent a message to Da Xu.

"That's easy. Give me 30 million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, and I'll refine a medium-sized trapping array."

Da Xu replied very quickly, so quickly that Xu Chen felt a little sorry for him.

Xu Chen handed over 30 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals to Da Xu through the Dao Network.

"It's really convenient to send things, but unfortunately the human race can't build this network yet."

When Xu Chen was chatting with the all-knowing shopkeeper, he mentioned the Dao Network. He thought it would be a very secretive matter, but to his surprise, the shopkeeper directly revealed the fundamental structure of the Dao Network.

Six supreme treasures of the heavens, three supreme treasures of the soul, and one supreme treasure of the dream path.

The ten innate treasures left Xu Chen speechless with shock.

"I still have 400 million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals on hand. I'll keep them for now and not spend them recklessly. Otherwise, I might have to go to the gambling arena twice to collect them."

"Continue your training~"

Cultivation knows no time. Xu Chen cultivated for another three thousand years in his temporary cave. During these three thousand years, he used up all the Dao Origin Space Pearls he brought out from his inner world, and the eight dantian worlds in his body all grew by a million feet.

"At this level, a thousand years is considered a minor cultivation."

Xu Chen put away his eight dantian worlds, preparing to exhaust the pent-up energy within his body before heading to the gambling arena for his final battle.

Now that the Seventh Elder is no longer pressing him, Xu Chen feels he has more time and enough patience to deal with the manager of the gambling arena.

In the dark online gambling arena, Xu Chen quickly found Mu Chunlei.

"Ruhai, you've finally come!!" Mu Chunlei grabbed Xu Chen's hands as if he were seeing a long-lost relative.

You have no idea how I've lived without you.

"This is so agonizing!"

There seemed to be tears in Mu Chunlei's eyes.

"Senior, there's no need for that."

"Come on, there are some things we need to discuss." Xu Chen pulled his hands away, revealing an awkward but polite smile.

"Come on, I'll take you to a secluded place!"

Mu Chunlei immediately took Xu Chen away from the gambling arena and went to a restaurant.

In a secluded private room, Xu Chen directly explained his current situation.

“At your level, 30 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals is indeed a bit too little.”

"Moreover, your next battle will definitely be against someone much stronger than Ye Ying. You might even be matched with a powerful enemy ranked 20,000th on the list of 100,000 geniuses."

"You're trying to play hard to get, and the casino manager probably thinks the same way."

Since both of you are like this, why not just say it outright?

"Tell me what price you're looking for first?" Mu Chunlei asked Xu Chen.

"A single event yielded 200 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals."

Xu Chen figured it was the last match anyway, so he'd just leave after it was over.

"This price... are you out of your mind?" "You're offering a 1 billion catty of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals as your appearance fee, and the gambling arena is willing to accept it, but to balance out that appearance fee, the opponents you face will be quite different."

"It's alright, as long as we can get it." Xu Chen's eyes gleamed slightly, thinking that they would be able to gather a billion catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

"If you ask for an extra tens of millions of catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals as an appearance fee, then it's hard to say."

"But if you want 200 million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, they can agree immediately, since you can only take them if you win. But the opponents they arrange are ones you can't beat."

"You have to think carefully."

Mu Chunlei looked at Xu Chen intently. He still planned to rely on Xu Chen to turn the tide, and deep down he didn't want Xu Chen to come into contact with such a strong opponent, so as not to affect his judgment.

"Once you've thought it through, tell me what you want to do."

"In that case, there's no need to go through all that trouble. Just go directly to the manager of the gambling arena and tell him."

"it is good."

Inside the gambling arena, Xu Chen approached the manager and directly offered an appearance fee of 200 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

Upon hearing Xu Chen's offer, the gambling arena manager was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation, telling Xu Chen to go back and wait for news.

The plaza below the 38th battle world.

Xu Chen accompanied Mu Chunlei in a small gambling session for fun.

"Senior, what do you think my opponent will rank this time?"

"If the appearance fee is 200 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, your opponent is at least within the top 20,000."

"The opponents at this level are actually far stronger than ordinary Golden Immortal Realm experts."

"To put it bluntly, even I would have to flee in terror if I encountered a Golden Immortal realm genius of this caliber."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen looked at Mu Chunlei, feeling that if he were to unleash his full strength, he should have no problem wearing down this powerful expert at the Great Luo Realm.

Feeling Xu Chen's gaze, Mu Chunlei's heart tightened.

"Ru Hai, don't even think about messing with me. Although I'm not strong in combat, I'm a master at escaping," Mu Chunlei quickly said.

"Senior is joking."

Xu Chen continued to watch the battle.

For the rest of the time, Xu Chen followed Mu Chunlei around, gambling a little for fun.

In half a year, he also earned a lot of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

This made Xu Chen realize that Mu Chunlei's judgment was indeed excellent, consistently maintaining a winning rate of 8 out of 10 bets.

Today, Xu Chen was watching the 12th battle world, where two Golden Immortal Realm experts, who could be ranked on the Top 100,000 Prodigies List, were dueling.

"Who do you think will win?" Mu Chunlei asked.

"It's hard to say, but I'll just bet with you anyway," Xu Chen said.

"You're so easy to deal with."

Just then, Xu Chen received a message from the manager of the gambling arena.

"The battle has been scheduled for six months from now," Xu Chen said.

Mu Chunlei suddenly looked at Xu Chen.

"You still have six months. Do you need me to gather some information for you?"

"No need, just deal with it naturally."

During the 3000 years that Xu Chen was in seclusion, he didn't just cultivate continuously. He also spent several hundred years learning the immortal techniques of the ten major clans.

"How can you expect to handle this naturally? Wait for me!"

After Mu Chunlei finished speaking, he left the Dark Dao Network and did not contact Xu Chen again until three months later.

At this moment, Xu Chen had already arranged everything before his departure. He was just waiting to receive the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals he had won to buy the necessary spiritual mineral materials before he could leave.

In a specially opened secret realm, Xu Chen watched the figure of a Golden Immortal genius of the Divine Race fighting.

"This is the list of 100,000 prodigies. The Golden Immortal prodigy, Long Shi, ranked 19432, is shown here in his battle animation."

"I spent a lot of money to obtain the battle light and shadow of ten Golden Immortal Realm geniuses ranked within the top 2."

"The lowest ranking is this one, and the highest ranking is Yuan Sheng Qi Xuan, who is ranked 7,000."

Xu Chen reached out and touched the light source to pause the process.

"My opponents will come from these ten Golden Immortal Realm prodigies."

"I don't have that much ability. I just want you to see the combat strength of those who are ranked relatively high, so that you can be mentally prepared."

"In addition, the Golden Immortal Realm geniuses ranked within the top 2 are all highly regarded. As soon as they make a move, I can guess the identity of your opponent."

"Unfortunately, I cannot send you messages while in the battle world," Mu Chunlei sighed.

"Even if you know the answer, you can only take precautions in advance, and it won't have much impact on the outcome."

The light and shadow continued to play, and Xu Chen carefully observed the combat power of the Golden Immortal Realm prodigies within it.

After watching the last beam of light and shadow, Xu Chen felt that apart from the last one, Yuan Sheng Qi Xuan, who was a bit troublesome, he could defeat the others using his disguised combat power.

"The maximum combat power of this alias should be 8,000. If I hadn't learned the Great Immortal's Word Technique before, my combat power wouldn't be much stronger, and I could at most enter the top 2000."

Thinking of this, Xu Chen couldn't help but recall the sense of superiority he used to have in front of the smaller clans.

The difference in strength between two beings with equal talent, but who receive different inheritances from childhood, is like the difference between the bright moon in the sky and the beast on the ground.

A powerful member of a large clan can easily crush an opponent of equal talent from a small clan.

"So, are you confident?" Mu Chunlei couldn't help but ask, looking at Xu Chen who was deep in thought.

"No problem. I'm just wondering if a mere 7000-plus people can have such combat power, then what must the top ten Golden Immortal Realm experts be like in battle?"

Thinking of this, Xu Chen suddenly looked at Mu Chunlei.

"Are we confident we can obtain the battle visual effects of the top 10 Golden Immortal Realm prodigies?"

"Don't even mention the top ten, not even the top one hundred, geniuses of this caliber will not appear. These are the seeds of future Saint Venerable Realm experts," Mu Chunlei said, shaking his head.

"Okay." Xu Chen nodded slightly.

"No problem at all, senior, you can rest assured and make a fortune with me," Xu Chen assured him.

"Alright! I'll bet everything I have this time!" Mu Chunlei said, taking out the embryonic innate spiritual treasure once again.

"Why doesn't the senior have someone refine it into a primordial spiritual treasure?"

"The profound spatial meaning contained in this innate spiritual treasure embryo, combined with the escape technique mentioned by the senior, is a perfect match," Xu Chen joked.

"Like the sea, my only passion in this life is gambling."

"I feel uncomfortable if I don't gamble for a day, but my fate is very strange. I win small bets and lose big bets."

"After dozens of ups and downs and big gambles, I have never won."

"I'm unwilling to accept this, so I've kept this innate spiritual treasure embryo, my trump card, just to try and break my fate and win this gamble!" (End of Chapter)
