Chapter 292 - A Heavy Wager



Chapter 292 A Heavy Wager

In the following period of time, Master Zhao Qiankun reprimanded everyone and finally said solemnly.

“Do you know why I value Li Xuan so much?”

“Why?” The fifth elder immediately asked, still feeling indignant in his heart.

“It’s because Li Xuan is also a Spiritual Talisman Master like me,” Zhao Qiankun said faintly. “What? Spiritual Talisman Master? Li Xuan is also a Spiritual Talisman Master? How is that possible?”

Everyone was shocked and looked at Master Zhao Qiankun in disbelief. One had to know that a Spiritual Talisman Master had a high status and was respected wherever he went.

How could such a person stay in this small city and even join a small commerce chamber? This was really surprising.

“There’s no need to be surprised. Li Xuan’s attainments in talismans are extraordinary. His ability to change and draw Spiritual Patterns is simply unconstrained. He is unique. He must be a Spiritual Talisman Master.”

Zhao Qiankun spoke with certainty, and his expression was extremely solemn.

“This…”

Everyone was astonished, but at the same time, they heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they had not offended him previously. If they had caused trouble earlier, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

At this moment, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Even the fifth elder frowned and could not help but ask Zhao Qiankun.

“Master, since Li Xuan is also a Spiritual Talisman Master, who is more powerful if he is compared to you?”

“Do you even need to ask? Of course, my teacher is more powerful. My teacher is a Spiritual Talisman Master who has been famous for a long time. Although Li Xuan has a wild imagination, he is at most a beginner Spiritual Talisman Master.”

The scholarly man immediately spoke up and defended his teacher.

When Master Zhao Qiankun heard his disciple’s words, he nodded his head in satisfaction and smiled confidently. “You’re right. There’s a high chance that Li Xuan has just a beginner Spiritual Talisman Master. Compared to this old man, he still needs to work hard.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Everyone came to a sudden realization and immediately looked at Master Zhao Qiankun with even more respect. Each and every one of their attitudes became more and more respectful.

Zhao Qiankun looked at these people’s attitudes and nodded his head in satisfaction before continuing.

“Don’t worry, I will look for Li Xuan in a while to exchange my insights with him. As for the management of the branch, I will inform Li Xuan. I will not let the branch run out of business.”

“Thank you, master!” The elders hurriedly looked at Zhao Qiankun with gratitude.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Zhao Qiankun nodded in satisfaction. He liked this kind of method of teaching his subordinates. Especially when he saw the gratitude in his subordinates’ eyes, Zhao Qiankun felt very good.

With a satisfied mood, Zhao Qiankun left. He brought the scholarly man and a deacon to look for Li Xuan to exchange their insights.

The elders watched Zhao Qiankun leave and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they cursed Zhao Qiankun in their hearts. It was a pity that none of them dared to say it out loud. They did not even dare to show any disrespect.

Time passed. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The elders woke up early to handle matters in the branch. However, when they realized that Master Zhao Qiankun had not returned after three days, they could not help but frown.

“Why hasn’t he returned after three days? Could something have happened?” The fourth elder asked worriedly.

“It can’t be. Master Zhao Qiankun’s status is extraordinary. No one dares to touch him easily. Otherwise, he would definitely incur the wrath of a Gold Rank expert. This is something that no one can bear.”

“But he hasn’t returned for three days. This is too long. Why don’t we go over and take a look?”

“There’s no need. Deacon Liu is by the master’s side. If there’s anything, he will definitely inform us immediately.” The first elder shook his head.

“Alright, then we’ll wait.”

While everyone was talking, Deacon Liu rushed back. When he saw the elders, he hurriedly said.

“Greetings, elders.”

“Mmhm. Deacon Liu, how are things at Master Zhao Qiankun’s side? Why have you been gone for three days?” The third elder immediately asked.

“It’s like this. Master Zhao Qiankun and Master Li Xuan had a pleasant conversation and shared many insights…”

“However, when they talked about Spiritual Patterns today, they didn’t give in to each other and felt that their thoughts were correct. Thus, they had a conflict and decided to have a competition…”

“However, Master Li Xuan hasn’t come into contact with many spirit patterns. For the sake of fairness, Master Zhao Qiankun asked me to come back and take the Spiritual Pattern Codex for Master Li Xuan to see.”

Deacon Liu immediately explained and did not dare to hide anything.

“Spiritual Pattern Codex? That’s our guild’s important information. How can we let others see it?” The fifth elder frowned and said.

“That’s what I told Master Zhao Qiankun. However, he said that it doesn’t matter. He also said that the Spiritual Pattern Codex doesn’t have the core Spiritual Pattern, so it doesn’t matter,” Deacon Liu continued to explain.

“Although it’s not a core Spiritual Pattern, the Spiritual Pattern Codex is still very precious. After all, this is a codex that records thousands of spirit inscriptions. It’s really painful to give it to others like this,” the fifth elder said reluctantly.

“That’s right. The guild has passed down its heritage for many years, and the Spiritual Pattern Codex is of utmost importance. It’s true that we can’t give it to others so easily.” The first elder also frowned, his heart aching.

“Cough, cough. Elders, I said the same thing back then. However, the master has made a bet with Li Xuan to see who can produce the most powerful Spiritual Talismans. There’s even a bet…”

“The bet between them is very heavy. That’s why they want to take the Spiritual Pattern Codex,” Deacon Liu continued to explain.

“The bet is very heavy? How heavy?” Everyone was curious, and they could not help but ask.

“The bet is that if Master Zhao Qiankun loses, he has to take out the guild’s Core Spiritual Pattern Treasured Book…”

“Core Spiritual Pattern Treasured Book? Why would Master Zhao Qiankun make such a bet? This is an extremely precious Core Spiritual Pattern Treasured Book. This is absolutely not allowed.”

Everyone immediately interrupted Deacon Liu’s words and shook their heads to indicate that it was not possible.

“Everyone, don’t be anxious. Let me finish.” Deacon Liu took a deep breath and continued.

“What I said just now was that Master Zhao Qiankun lost. If Master Li Xuan loses, he will have to join the Spiritual Talisman Guild for the rest of his life. At the same time, he will have to take out five million Spirit Stones.”

“Five million Spirit Stones?!”

The elders’ pupils contracted as they looked at Deacon Liu in disbelief. They asked probingly.

“Is it really five million Spirit Stones? Did you mishear it?”

“I didn’t mishear it. It’s five million Spirit Stones. You don’t know the scene at that time. Master Li Xuan waved his hand and the entire room was filled with spirit stones. That scene was simply too extravagant.”

When Deacon Liu thought of the scene just now, his eyes were filled with shock.

“Oh my God, this Master Li Xuan is too rich. He actually has so many Spirit Stones. More importantly, he has to join the Spirit Talisman Guild for the rest of his life. This bet is worth it,” the fourth elder said in shock.

“But can Master Zhao Qiankun really win? If he loses, we will suffer a huge loss. That is the Core Spiritual Pattern Treasured Book.”The second elder was extremely worried.

“With Master Zhao Qiankun’s ability, his chances of winning are very high. Don’t forget that Master Zhao Qiankun said that Li Xuan is only a beginner master. Master Zhao Qiankun is a veteran master, so the difference in knowledge is huge.”

“Right, right, right. We will definitely win. As the saying goes, those who are famous are worthy of their reputation. Master Zhao Qiankun is so famous, so he will definitely not lose. The one who will lose is Li Xuan.”

“I think so too. Li Xuan will definitely lose.”
