Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

14. When undertaking great tasks, cherish your life; when faced with petty gains, forget your life.

Although there are still 98 pages left in the Book of a Hundred Deaths, the path to immortality is long and arduous, and this is his only reliance, so Ren Qingshan will not waste it easily.

The current gains aren't big enough!

Let's take another look.

……

The next day, before the five arenas even began, the place was already packed with people.

Newcomer Zhou Rong became the absolute focus of attention today after instantly killing Xiao Wanjian.

His opponent in his second battle was also a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining.

Zhou Rong's odds are 1x, while his opponent's odds are 2x.

As everyone tentatively placed their bets and the market closed, the battle began.

In the blink of an eye, the outcome was decided.

Zhou Rongsheng!

The opponent's consciousness was shattered, blood gushed from all seven orifices, and his spiritual energy dissipated, leading to his death.

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

Zhou Rong's fighting style was truly simple and brutal, without any fancy techniques; he could kill someone in one move.

If the audience blinked even once, they wouldn't even see him make a move, and the outcome of the battle would already be decided.

in the crowd.

Ren Qingshan watched silently.

Although he had been here for a month or so, Ren Qingshan had never placed a single bet.

The time isn't right!

Each arena has ten matches per day.

The second match began immediately after the first match ended.

Zhou Rong chose to rest.

On the arena were two ordinary criminal cultivators, both with odds of 1:1. They fought for about half an hour before a winner was finally decided.

To the surprise of many gamblers, Zhou Rong took the initiative to fight again in the third round.

According to the rules, each sinner must fight at least one battle per day. If they win, they can have a bye to conserve their energy.

Zhou Rong's decision to continue fighting today demonstrates extraordinary confidence.

And in this match, he once again won with ease, as if it were a piece of cake.

Then he gestured... Continue!

This arrogant act immediately ignited the gamblers' emotions, and more and more people gathered under the five arenas.

Another victory in the fourth game!

Zhou Rong's odds immediately dropped, which means that more and more people are optimistic about him!

Next, Zhou Rong won the fifth, sixth, and seventh matches... his momentum was unstoppable.

His odds kept getting lower and lower, but the bets placed on him kept getting bigger and bigger.

Even though the odds are low, such players have a very high chance of winning, resulting in stable profits.

at this time.

Ren Qingshan's unease grew stronger.

Could this be the next Xiao Wanjian?

Clearly, quite a few people on the field were thinking the same thing, starting to get a little nervous about winning...

In the eighth game, betting enthusiasm noticeably decreased.

However, Zhou Rong remained extremely steady and won again.

Then, Zhou Rong won the ninth and tenth matches.

They achieved a nine-game winning streak in just one day!

Such a record has not been seen in Zhenbei City for many years; it is almost legendary!

……

Day two.

Zhou Rong fought again, during which he voluntarily opted to have four byes, and only played six matches, winning them all!

The voices that were previously pessimistic are becoming fewer and fewer.

However, there are still many voices of doubt.

They played nine games yesterday, but only six today, so their stamina is a concern.

The group argued incessantly.

……

Day three.

Zhou Rong changed the arena.

Choose the third arena, challenge the reigning champion, and win!

They then played five more games, winning all five to finish the season!

The betting odds in the city, as well as many gamblers, finally couldn't hold back any longer and began to gamble against their own mentality, offering extremely high odds in hopes that his winning streak would be broken.

……

Fourth day.

Zhou Rong fought four more matches and won them all!

He even defeated a formidable opponent with a 21-game winning streak and similar odds.

The losses on overseas markets are enormous!

Many of the viewers who won the bet were overjoyed.

These past few days of winning streak are like a windfall.

"Zhou Rong will win" has become an unwavering belief for many winners.

……

Ren Qingshan has been observing the situation for the past few days, but has not yet made a move.

He quietly went to the pawnshop in the city and exchanged all his earnings from the journey, as well as what he had earned during this time, for spirit stones.

Unfortunately, the principal was too small.

After selling everything, there were only thirty-seven spirit stones left.

Ren Qingshan then went to the loan shop run by the Liang family in the city to inquire how much he could borrow using himself as collateral.

The shopkeeper gave an estimated value of 500 spirits.

My cultivation level of one level of Qi Refining is only worth this much.

If they can't repay the debt, they'll have to work like slaves for the Liang family for the next ten years.

……

On the fifth day, Zhou Rong, riding high on his twenty-five-game winning streak, fought again.

His odds are already extremely low.

Meanwhile, the opponent's odds have been soaring, from single digits to double digits, and now to over sixty times in this match.

However, even with high odds, it's useless if you can't win.

These past few days, those who stubbornly refused to bet on Zhou Rongsheng's short positions, hoping to win high odds, have all suffered heavy losses.

Today, Zhou Rong finished the season with eight consecutive wins!

……

Over the course of a few days, he became the absolute focus of attention on the field.

According to Ren Qingshan's estimate, about 20% of the gamblers in the arena had placed bets on his bets.

Those who win all benefit, no matter how much.

Those who lose will suffer a complete defeat!

Another phenomenon Ren Qingshan observed was that the shops in the city where the Liang family was responsible for lending money saw a more than five-fold increase in foot traffic!

The audience's emotions gradually turned into fervor.

……

"Young Master, we...we...we want to tell you something."

On the evening of the fifth day.

Back in the rented, simple wooden cabin, Ren Qingshan saw Linglong and Ruyi looking embarrassed and stammering.

"Hmm? Speak."

"Today... today the two of us met a senior who has the cultivation of the fourth level of Qi Refining. He admires us quite a bit and wants us to follow him."

"Ruyi and I initially thought it was a joke and just went along with it. Unexpectedly, he asked us to name our price, saying he wanted to marry us and the dowry was up to us."

"I joked, two hundred spirit stones."

Without saying a word, he just handed it over without any fear of renege on the debt. He told us to come back and explain, and then we went to find him.

"Young Master, what... what should we do?"

Linglong carefully placed the heavy bag of spirit stones on the table.

It made a rustling sound.

Full of inspiration.

Hearing this, Ren Qingshan looked at the two calmly and smiled, "Great! What a wonderful thing! My two sisters are getting married into a higher social class. Of course, I have no reason to stop them. Go! Follow me. I know you've suffered a lot these past few days."

The two were completely taken aback by Ren Qingshan's words, and were filled with a mixture of surprise and delight.

The guilt in my heart was comforted and healed.

"Then...then shall we go?"

"These spirit stones, these spirit stones, consider them compensation for the young master, to redeem the two of us from our servitude."

Ren Qingshan looked at the two beautiful women, still maintaining his dignified demeanor, and waved his hand with a smile: "Alright, I wish you both a bright future."

"Take half of this bag of spirit stones as part of your dowry, so you won't be looked down upon if you go with us."

Those who have abandoned me, the days of yesterday cannot be retained!

Now that they have made their decision, Ren Qingshan will absolutely not try to stop them.

Cherish what you have and don't force relationships. Along the way, we've accumulated a lot of affection, and it's hard not to feel a little reluctant to part ways. But things have come to this point, our connection is coming to an end, and we each have our own futures.

As for the additional one hundred spirit stones, it's alright; poverty doesn't diminish one's spirit.

Taking half for myself is already considered fair.

Moreover, my path to wealth is just around the corner!

Most people in the world are foolish!

When undertaking great tasks, one should cherish one's life; when faced with petty gains, one should disregard one's life!

Like those gamblers who are still gloating, and like these two beautiful maids who are heading towards higher positions!
