Chapter 5: The Banquet (Part 1)

  Heavenly Tyrant Earth Conqueror

  Underneath Wang Yu's body was a small spiritual vein, what puzzled him was why there would be such a spiritual vein in the bustling Imperial City? Wang Yu thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an explanation, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Looking at the time, Wang Yu decided to exit his seclusion and seek a breakthrough point.

  The stone gate of the quiet room opened with a loud bang, and Wang Yu, dressed in purple robes, walked out. Looking at the warm sunshine and the trees swaying in the wind, Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh: "After all, the air outside is better." Then Wang Yu returned to his own mansion, only to find that one of his servants was anxiously waiting for something outside the door. When he saw Wang Yu, he suddenly revealed a look of surprise and said: "Master Wang, please hurry up and save my young master!"

  "What's going on?"

  "My family's young master and Hu's young master, Qian's young master went to find trouble with Li Yuangong at the Wanjin Casino. They gambled but didn't expect to be cheated by Li Yuangong until they were left with nothing, not even a single penny. They even pawned their clothes, jade, and other items, leaving them with only one undergarment on their body, and..."

  "What's more!"

  Moreover, Zhou Shao lost all the tokens of his engagement to Miss Zhao, and Li Yuangong said that if Wang Gongzi didn't arrive at Wanjin Casino within half an hour to take them away, he would strip them naked and parade them through the streets!

  "What!!! The Li family is too deceitful!!! Alright, isn't it just to let me go gamble? Someone, prepare 100,000 taels of silver for me and I'll go meet this Li Yuangong."

  The slave who didn't dare to be named looked embarrassed and said, "Young Master Wang, isn't this amount of money a bit too little?"

  "Less? Haha! Don't mention 100,000 taels, even if it's just one tael, he won't be able to take it away." Wang Yu said confidently and domineeringly.

  As he spoke, he led the way out of the mansion and rode on a prepared precious horse, galloping all the way, and soon saw the outline of the casino.

  "Haha! I knew Wang Shao would definitely keep his promise." said a young man with a gentle and beautiful face.

  "Hmph! Cut the nonsense, where's my man?!"

  "King Shao, don't worry, as long as you can win, we not only can take away your people, but also the money you can take away together." A young man beside Li Yuangong said with a joke.

  "Then let's wait and see!" Wang Yu said coldly.

  "Please!!!"

  Wanjin Casino is the largest casino in Tiandu, and it has the backing of two of the eight major families in Tiandu, the Li and Zhang families, so any force will give them a little face.

  As soon as they entered the casino, everything was glittering with gold, luxurious and grand. Even the waitresses serving tea and wine had a bit of charm to them. The moment Wang Yu and his group stepped into the casino, they immediately caught the attention of all the gamblers. "Isn't this the infamous Young Master Wang Yu? I heard he was beaten half to death by General Zhen Nan a few days ago and was recovering at home, how could he possibly be here?"

  The casino was in an uproar, with everyone discussing Wang Yu. Li Yuangong said from the front, "Wang Yu, our stake is inside."

  Inside a luxurious private room, the carpet is made of tiger skin and bear skin, the cushions are made of feathers from various birds, and the walls are inlaid with agate diamonds. The central gaming table in the private room is made of hundreds of years old agarwood, this one private room alone is worth tens of millions of silver taels. This place is specially for receiving wealthy businessmen who are worth tens of millions.

  "I wonder how much silver Wang Shao brought this time! I'm afraid Wang Shao won't have enough to lose, and in the end, he won't even have clothes to wear! Hahaha!" Li Yuangong's words instantly made the young people around him laugh uncontrollably.

  "Is that so? This time I've brought 100,000 taels, I wonder how much Li Shao can win!" Wang Yu replied with a faintly elegant smile.

  "Less talk, let's see the real thing. Let's start with a small bet to warm up. One round, 20,000 taels." Eight rounds... eight rounds had passed, and Wang Yu hadn't won a single one. But Wang Yu wasn't in a hurry, as he had been familiarizing himself with the rules of the dice. For a cultivator, this wasn't difficult at all. Wang Yu now only had 20,000 taels left in his hand, and he had also learned the technique of throwing the dice. So Wang Yu said to Li Yuan Gong, "Playing like this isn't very interesting. Why don't we make it more exciting? Let's each take out our most valuable item and play a big round?" As he spoke, he took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant. Seeing this object, Li Yuan Gong and the others exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and agreed to do so. A sharp, low-grade treasure sword, a blood-colored warm jade, a silver note worth 10 million taels from the Tongyuan Money House, an extreme-quality yuanqi dan, and a fire-element magic stone (fire-type spirit stone)... seeing this object, Wang Yu's eyes lit up. "Come on, let's compare sizes and decide victory or defeat with one sentence."

  Li Yuangong confidently walked out, picked up the dice and shook them vigorously, then placed them on the table with a loud "thud". When he opened them, he saw that he had rolled 17 points. To surpass this score, one would have to roll a leopard (18 points). Wang Yu saw Li Yuangong's score but was unmoved, picked up the dice and gave his wrist a flick before placing them on the table and opening the lid. Li Yuangong and the others turned pale with fright, involuntarily taking several steps back. "I concede! Haha, let's take our spoils of war back to the manor, Brother Li doesn't need to send us off anymore."

  Li Yuangong's face was filled with venom as he gazed at the departing Wang Yu and others, muttering in a low voice: "Wang, next time I meet you, I'll chop you into pieces!" Li Yuangong turned his head, revealing an eerie smile. "Big Brother will be out of prison soon, I wonder how long you little brat can survive! Hehehe~~~"

  Wang Yu returned from the casino, holding his spoils of war and admiring them. He picked up a sharp Xuanji treasure sword and frowned, saying: "It barely meets the standard of a low-grade spiritual instrument, I thought it was some kind of treasure, but when it came out, it hurt so much, turns out it's just trash. Let me take another look at this jade pendant."

  The jade pendant was smooth to the touch, like sheep's fat. The internal blood vessels of the jade pendant were spreading, and it often had a calming effect when worn on the body. Wang Yu couldn't help but pick up the fire spirit stone and start meditating with his legs crossed. Three hours passed, and Wang Yu found a breakthrough, then used the thick spiritual energy of the fire spirit stone to break through the initial three stages of Qi Refining and reached the middle four stages of Qi Refining. When Wang Yu opened his eyes, he looked at the fire spirit stone in his hand, which had already turned into powder, and regretfully said: "What a pity! If it were a medium-grade spiritual stone, maybe I could reach the peak of the fourth stage!" This silver note is... one million two... gold!!! Haha! This is too generous, this amount of money can buy me a set of spiritual medicine. The medicinal pill was very rich in five-elemental aura! It seemed to be something his father used to refine his body, but it would cause some harm to the body. Better use it sparingly.

  One night, Wang Yu's nights were usually spent in cultivation. In the morning, the first ray of sunlight passed through the window, and Wang Yu stretched comfortably. After washing up, Wang Yu was boredly looking at a chess manual in the backyard when he inadvertently saw a girl in a Luo shirt, with lotus-like jade arms, delicate facial features, phoenix eyes, cherry lips, and a small nose. Her figure was almost perfect, with a slender waist that seemed to be grasped by one hand. It was truly a devilish figure with an angelic face. The curves and contours were perfectly proportioned, reaching the extreme of perfection.
