Divine War Pill Emperor

The gambling den was packed with people, all of them Martial Cultivators.

Jiang Chen even noticed that the Cultivation of some of the Martial Cultivators here was unfathomably deep.

This Gambling City was truly full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

Even the guards at the gambling den were Martial King Experts at a minimum.

”Your Highnesses, we are delighted to have you at our Golden Brilliance Workshop.”

The arrival of the three Princes immediately drew the attention of a Golden Brilliance Workshop attendant.

After all, the three Princes held an extraordinary status. Although the people running the gambling dens here weren’t afraid of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s royalty, they still had to show them some respect.

An attendant immediately gave the three an enthusiastic reception.

The three Princes all nodded in greeting.

They didn’t dare show the slightest bit of arrogance here.

Wen Shixuan scanned the crowd and said to the attendant, ”Take us to a table with open seats.”

The attendant immediately led the group toward another section.

A short while later, they arrived at Table Seven.

Quite a few people had already gathered at Table Seven.

Bursts of excited noise erupted from it from time to time.

Jiang Chen noticed that the atmosphere here was incredibly intense.

The gambling table had six seats.

Three of the seats at Table Seven were already taken, leaving three empty.

The attendant said to the three Princes, ”Your Highnesses, there happen to be three open seats. Please, have a seat.”

Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi were clearly very familiar with the place.

Without a word, they sat down in the fourth and fifth seats.

The Third Prince hesitated for a moment before taking the sixth seat.

The table was now full.

The rules here were simple.

The game used a set of thirty Jade Tokens. Each token was inscribed with dots, from one to nine. Every token was different. There were also three tokens with zero dots, which had nothing carved on them.

Three tokens were dealt, and the players would compare for the highest value.

Three nines was the highest possible hand. Three zeroes was the lowest.

The Crown Prince chuckled and said to the Third Prince, ”Third Brother, did you bring enough money this time? If not, you can always borrow from the Golden Brilliance Workshop.”

That was right. The casino lent money.

You just had to pay it back within a certain period, or you would be charged a high interest rate.

If you didn’t repay your debt, the Golden Brilliance Workshop could capture you, and how they dealt with you would be up to the casino.

The Third Prince’s expression changed slightly.

He didn’t have much money on him—only three hundred million essence crystals, which was the most he could scrape together.

He decided that if he lost those three hundred million, he would just leave.

He said, ”You don’t need to worry about me. I know what I’m doing.”

Wen Shixi also smiled. ”Third Brother, I know you’re short on cash. If you lose today, don’t worry, I can lend you some money.”

The two of them were mocking the Third Prince for his lack of funds. In truth, the Third Prince had always been weak and lacking in influence compared to his two older brothers, and his ability to amass wealth was not as great.

He truly was strapped for cash and rarely came here to play.

Despite this, he put on a brave front. ”It’s not certain who will win or lose yet.”

The other three Martial Cultivators sat in their respective seats, exuding confidence.

”Alright everyone, get ready. We’re about to begin.”

”Before we start, for the sake of fairness, our Holy Light will envelop this area. Your Cultivation will be temporarily nullified, so please be prepared.”

To prevent cheating, this place used a powerful Holy Light to cover the gambling tables.

When the Holy Light descended, a Martial Cultivator’s Cultivation would cease to exist.

This prevented anyone from using their Cultivation to cheat.

Everyone present would become an ordinary person.

Taking a deep breath, the Third Prince had just finished preparing himself.

HUM!

A golden light enveloped them, and in the next moment, all of their Cultivation vanished.

It was the same for everyone at the table.

They all seemed used to it, showing no unusual reactions.

Jiang Chen, however, was not within the range of the gambling table and was not enveloped by the golden light.

So, everything was normal for him.

Within the golden light, Jade Tokens were automatically dealt.

The Jade Tokens were dealt face down; no one could see how many dots were carved on them.

Winning and losing all came down to luck.

Perhaps it was just the Third Prince’s bad luck, or perhaps it was something else.

He flipped his first token and saw it was a zero-dot.

There were no dots on the Jade Token at all.

His face instantly clouded over with frustration.

In contrast, both the Crown Prince, Wen Shixuan, and the Second Prince, Wen Shixi, were smiling, suggesting their hands were not small.

Of the other three Martial Cultivators, one furrowed his brow slightly, while the other two remained expressionless, appearing more composed.

After the first round of tokens was dealt, the betting began.

Player One was the first to bet.

”Thirty million.”

He directly tossed in a chip worth thirty million.

The chips here were conveniently placed on the table, ready to be exchanged at any time.

This was because the Holy Light recorded the chips each person used and won.

It was practically intelligent.

Player One had already exchanged for one billion in chips.

Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi had also each exchanged for a billion.

But the Third Prince, Wen Shiren, had only exchanged for three hundred million, a clear sign of how short on funds he was.

Player One bet thirty million, which represented thirty million essence crystals. It was safe to say his hand was definitely not small.

He had started with a large bet.

Player Two hesitated for a moment.

Then he said decisively, ”I’ll call!”

”Thirty million.”

Because the first person opened with a bet of thirty million, those who followed could not bet lower, only higher.

So, Player Two also bet thirty million.

”Fold.”

Player Three folded immediately.

When it was Wen Shixuan’s turn at seat four, he flicked a fifty-million chip into the pot with a swish.

”Fifty million.”

It was clear he also had a big hand.

He was grinning from ear to ear.

Wen Shixi paused for a moment before resolutely saying, ”I’ll call. Fifty million.”

He then tossed a fifty-million chip in as well.

When it was the Third Prince’s turn, he shook his head and said, ”I fold.”

He had no choice but to fold. His first token was only a zero-dot, making it impossible to get a strong hand later. It might have been possible if the others had small hands, but from the current situation, everyone else’s hand was quite good.

The first round of betting was over.

After the first round, four people remained, all with high numbers.

Wen Shixuan had the highest.

At this moment, a triumphant smile appeared on Wen Shixuan’s face.

Player One remained composed, but Player Two’s expression had turned somewhat grim; his hand was the smallest.

Next, the second round of dealing began.

With a flash of Holy Light, four tokens were automatically dealt to Players One, Two, Four, and Five.

Player One started the betting again.

He flipped his token and glanced at it. It was another eight-dot.

His face lit up with ecstasy.

He reached out, picked up a one-hundred-million chip from the table, and tossed it in.

”One hundred million!”

The atmosphere at the scene instantly grew tense.

The stakes only grew higher in the later rounds.

The second round had jumped straight to a hundred million; every player was incredibly wealthy.

Player Two flipped his token and saw it was a one-dot.

His first token was a seven, the second was a one. No matter how high his last token was, he probably couldn’t win.

Especially seeing how aggressive Player One was.

Finally, he shook his head. ”I fold.”

Another player was out.
