Because Enlightened One Tianhuo had initiated the wager, the other Enlightened Ones joined in with great enthusiasm and bet on their disciples to win.

The content they were betting on was simple: the scores apart from innate talent. The stakes were not small either; each bet was around 100,000 Immortal Crystals, totaling about ten million Qian Gold.

This was more in line with what a Cultivator of Shen-tong realm should posses. Otherwise, stakes that were too high could cause serious injury upon a loss, and stakes too low wouldn’t make the gamble exciting.

Among the thrilled Enligtened Ones, only Wang Shouzhe remained calm as usual, sipping his Spiritual Tea without any intention of participating.

“Master Shouzhe, won’t you join in the fun?” Enlightened One Mingcheng had bravely placed a bet of 100,000 Immortal Crystals on Luo Qiu with a spirited demeanor, “If one were to win alone, you could earn over a million Immortal Crystals~”

“I’d rather not participate. Our Wang family does not promote gambling.” Wang Shouzhe replied with a smile and a bow, “As long as you Enlightened Ones enjoy yourselves.”

At home, it was just Ruolan and the others who occasionally played Mahjong and poker among themselves for fun without caring much about winning or losing. It was only Ruolan who once taught Emperor Longchang a lesson by winning a few times harshly against him.

“Shouzhe, could you advance me 100,000 Immortal Crystals for wages?” Just then, Enlightened One Tianhe approached and asked, “I’ve had to use all the money I previously made to pay off debts, and I’m really short on cash.”

Having lived to his age, Enlightened One Tianhe was quite shameless and didn’t feel embarrassed at all when making his request.

What’s wrong with being a worker? I’m proud to work for my disciple~ Besides, even the Great Emperor is working for the Wang family, so what’s there for him, a mere Shen-tong realm cultivator, to be embarrassed about?

Wang Shouzhe put down his tea cup upon hearing this and cheerfully pulled out a bundle of Immortal Crystal notes to hand over: “Enjoy your game, Enlightened One. If you lose, I’ll cover it.”

“Since the Family Head is being generous, I won’t stand on ceremony then.” Enlightened One Tianhe immediately went off to place his bets overjoyed.

He was fully confident in his disciple Li Yao; even if they set aside innate talent and only assessed on five aspects of qualities, she would certainly not disappoint.

“Shouzhe… I’d also like to borrow 100,000 Immortal Crystals.” Enlightened One Yunyang hurried over too, a bit embarrassedly, “I’m personally not good with financial management; Lici handles all the money at home.”

“Enjoy your game, Enlightened One. I’ll cover it if you lose,” Wang Shouzhe also swiftly handed him 100,000 Immortal Crystals.

Supporting Lici had cost Enlightened One Yunyang much… he was a friend, and a mere 100,000 Immortal Crystals really wasn’t much.

“With Shouzhe’s generosity, I am sure to count you as my friend, Yunyang.” Moved, Enlightened One Yunyang then took the money and quickly ran off to gamble.

Nearby, Enlightened One Mingcheng stared wide-eyed at this scene, feeling deep emotion, “Now I understand why Shouzhe doesn’t participate in the bets.”

It was just that his family and business were too large to care about mixing in with these poor cultivators of the Shen-tong realm.

“I heard that to help Luo Qiu purchase a Level Eight Immortal Pill, you even paid a good amount from your own pocket.” Wang Shouzhe pulled out another 100,000 Immortal Crystals, handing them to Enlightened One Mingcheng, “Consider that bet mine as well.”

A Level Eight Immortal Pill was extremely expensive, costing hundreds of millions of Qian Gold, and Glass Bright King’s Hall lineage was traditionally not skilled at making money. In order to help Luo Qiu pursue Grade A talent, they really had taken quite a hit to their Vital Energy.

“Well, how could I possibly accept this?” Although Enlightened One Mingcheng was indeed very tempted, he couldn’t quite bring himself to do it, as he and Wang Shouzhe were not very close.

“Luo Qiu is my sister,” Wang Shouzhe said sincerely, “I should express my thanks for your care, Enlightened One.”

“Very well then, I’ll accept it without further ado,” Enlightened One Mingcheng happily accepted the Immortal Crystals, warming considerably to Wang Shouzhe, “Since my disciple Wang Lingzhu is also of the Wang family lineage, strictly speaking, our lineage at Ming Wang Hall can be considered family with you, Shouzhe. Feel free to ask for any help in the future.”

100,000 Immortal Crystals wasn’t a large sum, but for impoverished cultivators of the Shen-tong realm, it was an important resource.

“Shouzhe…” Qing Song, the Enlightened One from Green Emperor Valley, also looked over eagerly, “Our Green Emperor Valley has nearly bankrupted ourselves for Green Fern, I’ve even thrown in my personal life savings.”

“That…” Wang Shouzhe’s cheek twitched slightly, “Green Emperor Valley has substantial resources and business, this small amount of money from me wouldn’t matter much anyway.”

“You can’t just ignore this, you and Green Fern’s matter is well known to everyone,” Qing Song said with a look full of mysterious implications.

“That’s not true. Please don’t believe the rumors, Enlightened One,” Wang Shouzhe firmly denied.

As their conversation grew lively, other Enlightened Ones from various sects also joined in, joking and chatting with Wang Shouzhe. He managed to respond to each one effortlessly.

In no time, they were all in high spirits, becoming more and more harmonious with each other.

Not far away, Jiang Zhencang watched with furrowed brows.

Was Wang Shouzhe really starting to treat the Sacred Land like his personal business? Precisely calculated, at least three out of the Nine Veins of the Sacred Land already considered him one of their own. With his capabilities, it wouldn’t take much longer to win over the majority of the Nine Veins.

Once Jiang Zhencang finally passed away, this Sacred Land, it truly might end up carrying the Wang surname~

While people outside cheerfully watched and discussed, on the giant Crystal Stone screen the performances of various Saint and Saintess candidates were continuously switched and displayed.
