Yang Dingkun, who was ranked in the tens on both the Heaven and Earth rolls in the Tai Ah Divine City, was considered a prominent figure.
The Li family that Li Hong was part of, was also related to the Chu royal residence, but through marriage. In some sense, Yang Dingkun was a distant cousin of Li Hong.
Today, Yang Dingkun suddenly appeared and immediately ridiculed him, making Li Hong feel upset.
“Cousin, what are you doing here?” Li Hong asked.
“Haha, I’m here to be your strategist, Cousin. I know you are tight on resources recently. If you want to borrow dragon scale runes, I can lend it to you, but…I have one condition…” Yang Dingkun pulled his words.
“What condition?”
“That is…the first three volumes of the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’. I want you to win it for me!”
When Yang Dingkun said those words, his eyes lit up!
Yang Dingkun knew that there were rules in the Tai Ah Divine City. The top cultivation techniques, like the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’, could be used as stakes, but this was seldom done in the past.
The ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ cultivation technique jade scroll was very precious and there were a limited number of copies. If a cultivator wanted to exchange dragon scale runes and glory points for the cultivation technique, they were actually renting it for ten months.
In this ten months, the cultivator who rented the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ was free to cultivate the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’, but they could not to lend the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ to other cultivators.
Unless it was lost in a gambling match.
To prevent people from deliberately handing over the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ by gambling, the Tai Ah Sacred Technique had strict rules. Once the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ was used as a bet, not losing it was alright, but once it was lost in a bet, the remaining rental period was reduced by 30%!
This is why very few people would use the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ as a stake.
Once 30% of the time was lost, many cultivators could not afford it. It might not be possible for them to learn it in ten months, what’s more having 30% deducted.
“The ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’!? You are eyeing Yi Yun’s Tai Ah Sacred Technique’!?” Realizing Yang Dingkun’s outrageous greed, Li Hong jumped. He quickly calculated what his losses would be if he were to agree to Yang Dingkun’s condition.
There was no doubt that if Yang Dingkun wanted the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’, then he had to put up something that was equivalent to the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ as a stake!
If that happened, this would be a great gamble!
