Chapter 284: Billion-Dollar Gamble
"I'll let you be arrogant for a while. When you lose the bet, the 1 billion Nine Ding Pills will all be mine!"
Master Mu thought excitedly, his eyes becoming more greedy.
The wealth of 1 billion Nine Ding Pills is now within Master Mu's reach. How can he not be excited?
"Why, have you taken all the things?"
Seeing Master Mu stop, Chu Fengmian couldn't help but curl his lips and said.
"These rare things, I will give you 700 million Nine Ding Pills at most, and you still need 300 million."
"Master Mu can't afford only 1 billion Nine Ding Pills."
"Boy, don't be arrogant! 1 billion Nine Ding Pills, of course I can afford it!"
Hearing Chu Fengmian's ridicule, Master Mu was even more anxious. This was the best opportunity for him to get 1 billion Nine Ding Pills at once.
If he flew away like this today, he would really be in tears.
He must collect 300 million Nine Ding Pills.
"Mr. Zhao, you can't lend me 300 million Jiuding Pills first."
In desperation, the only person Master Mu could think of was Zhao Duanqiao who was standing next to him.
"As long as you lend me 300 million Jiuding Pills, I will return double to Mr. Zhao after I win. How about 600 million Jiuding Pills?"
"This..."
Hearing Master Mu's words, Zhao Duanqiao's expression suddenly became silent.
He didn't speak for a long time, which made Master Mu even more anxious.
"Mr. Zhao, don't you trust me? I promise that even if I lose today, I will return all to Mr. Zhao."
Master Mu said anxiously. His most urgent task now was to collect 1 billion Jiuding Pills to gamble with Chu Fengmian.
Zhao Duanqiao's hesitation now made Master Mu even more anxious.
"Master Mu, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but that I don't have 300 million Jiuding Pills."
Zhao Duanqiao hesitated for a while before he could only speak helplessly.
"I don't have any valuable treasures, so even if I want to lend it to Master Mu, I can't do it."
Borrow 300 million and return 600 million. This is definitely a pie in the sky for Zhao Duanqiao.
He still trusts Master Mu's ability to appraise treasures, otherwise he would not have spent a lot of money to invite Master Mu to come out, but now he can't take out the remaining 300 million Jiuding Pills.
Hearing Zhao Duanqiao's words, Master Mu's face turned pale for a while, but soon he thought of something and whispered to Zhao Duanqiao.
"Don't you have the thousand-year-old dragon blood grass in Mr. Zhao's hand? As long as you take out the thousand-year-old dragon blood grass, it will be enough to pay for the 300 million Jiuding Pills."
Master Mu said excitedly.
On Zhao Duanqiao's body was the thousand-year-old dragon blood grass bought from the Twilight Pavilion.
"But, this thousand-year-old dragon blood grass is what my father wants. I only asked my father to go to Twilight Pavilion to buy it once. If I can't get this thousand-year-old dragon blood grass back, I'm done." Zhao Duanqiao said hesitantly. Although he is extremely arrogant, he is just like a chicken in front of his father Zhao Wudi and never dares to speak. Zhao Wudi specifically asked him to buy this thousand-year-old dragon blood grass. If he didn't buy it back, what kind of punishment would he have? Zhao Duanqiao didn't even dare to think about it. "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. I am sure of victory. This thousand-year-old dragon blood grass is just pressed on, and I will get it back in the end. After the matter is done, I am willing to give 500 million Nine Ding Pills to Mr. Zhao, how about it?" Master Mu said hurriedly. "Five hundred million Nine Ding Pills..." Zhao Duanqiao was silent for a while, and finally spoke. "Okay, then I will trust Master Mu this time."
Zhao Duanqiao carefully took out a red spiritual medicine from the empty ring. The red spiritual medicine looked inconspicuous, but the faint dragon power it exuded was enough to show its extraordinaryness.
"It is indeed the thousand-year dragon blood grass."
Seeing the thousand-year dragon blood grass, Chu Fengmian's eyes lit up. What he needed most was the thousand-year dragon blood grass.
This time, Chu Fengmian's design and coercion were also intended to force the thousand-year dragon blood grass out. Now it seems that Chu Fengmian's plan was successful.
Zhao Duanqiao really took out the thousand-year dragon blood grass.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."
Master Mu took the thousand-year dragon blood grass, thanked him quickly, and walked directly to Chu Fengmian and pressed the thousand-year dragon blood grass on him.
"Boy, this time is enough."
Master Mu roared. He was almost mad at Chu Fengmian, and now he could finally let out a sigh of relief.
"The thousand-year-old dragon blood grass is worth about 250 million Nine Ding Pills, but Master Mu can't come up with anything valuable, so let's just let it go. I don't care about the half a billion Nine Ding Pills."
Chu Fengmian glanced at the thousand-year-old dragon blood grass and said calmly.
This sentence almost made Master Mu gasp for air, as if Chu Fengmian had given him a gift.
"Boy, I wonder how long you can be so arrogant! See how ugly you will cry when you lose!"
Master Mu roared in his heart, but pretended to be very calm.
"Now that the stakes are set, the bet will start, but someone should be a witness."
Master Mu looked at Chu Fengmian and said coldly.
"I think, how about letting Mr. Zhao be a witness? As the second son of General Zhao, the Grand Marshal of the Army, there is no problem for him to be a witness."
"Zhao Duanqiao as a witness? He is not worthy. I can't trust him. What if he runs away?"
Hearing Master Mu's words, Chu Fengmian curled his lips and said disdainfully.
Chu Fengmian's eyes swept across the people around him, and suddenly spoke to the crowd.
"Why don't you let Pavilion Master Mu be the witness now?"
"Oh? Do you want me to be the witness?"
A generation of old laughter sounded, and Pavilion Master Mu walked out of the crowd at once.
"That's fine. It's an honor for me to be a witness to this billion-dollar gamble."
A billion-dollar gamble is probably something that only happens once every hundred years in the entire Qinhuang Kingdom. Pavilion Master Mu now wants to join in the fun.
"Okay, Pavilion Master Mu will be the witness, and I agree."
Master Mu nodded. With Pavilion Master Mu's identity, he is indeed qualified to be the witness.
"Boy, the conditions are now clear. Let's guess the true identity of this strange object. That's right. Whoever wins will get the billion Nine Ding Pills."
Master Mu looked at Chu Fengmian and said fiercely.
"Don't wait until someone loses and refuses to admit it."
"One billion Nine Ding Pills are not a big number for Chu. If you lose, you lose. It doesn't matter. Chu will naturally not regret it."
Chu Fengmian said calmly.
"Let's get started. Don't waste time."
The fourth update today.
Thanks to him, Banchengyanhuo and Banchengshang for their rewards.
