Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1785 Easy Earning

In the first Spatial Plane, Lin Mu waited to observe the fight first. After all, he needed to see the actual performance of the cultivators first. If he targeted someone, that was suddenly showing strange actions, there were bound to be people that found it strange.

And with the increased surveillance from the temple recently, there was always a chance they might investigate further than just diviners. Wanting to avoid it, Lin Mu decided to be more careful for now.

After a few minutes of observation, Lin Mu had a grasp on the capabilities of both contenders and picked one that would be more conducive to the use of the sutras. It would just seem like he was angered and cause the audience to find it exciting instead.

”Alright, bet on him.” Lin Mu pointed to the contestant.

”How much should we put?” Luo Liqin asked.

”Hmmm…. Four thousand high grade immortal stones.” Lin Mu stated directly.

”Done.” Luo Liqin moved quickly.

He might have hesitated in the past when amounts as big as this were involved, but having seen Lin Muʼs method, he was a lot more confident now.

Ming Aolian and Ming Dandan watched the fight and saw how the fight was changed as soon as Lin Mu started interfering. In just five minutes, the fight was close to its end.

”Itʼs over…” Lu Xu muttered, seeing the fight that had been in a stalemate end quickly.

”How much are the profits from that?” Ming Dandan asked.

”We made a profit of two thousand high grade immortal stones.” Luo Liqin replied after seeing the change.

”So easy…” Qian Wen couldnʼt help but mutter. ʼIf it was this easy earning immortal stones, everyone would be rich.ʼ

”Letʼs move to the next one.” Lin Mu said in a hurry.

After all, both the fights were running simultaneously and if the other ended while Lin Mu was working on the first, it would be a potential loss of their benefits.

”How long will it take you to enter it?” Ming Aolian inquired.

”Not long for this one.” Lin Mu replied.

Since he was already in the spatial plane, all Lin Mu needed to do was withdraw partially and simply pick a new route for the second spatial plane.

It was a lot easier than entering the spatial plane from the start. As such, it only took him five more minutes to enter the second plane.

”And Iʼm in.” Lin Mu spoke.

”Wait! The odds just changed.” Luo Liqin informed. ”They lowered it for him,” he said, pointing to the cultivator that seemed to be winning.

”Works in our favor. Time to turn the weaker contender into the winner then.” Lin Mu replied. ”Bet on him. Same amount.”

”Sure.” Luo Liqin nodded his head.

Lin Mu got to doing his magic, and ten minutes later the fight turned out just as expected.

”And there we go.” Lin Mu said, withdrawing his immortal sense from the spatial plane.

”We… just made a total profit of about five thousand immortal stones from the two fights.” Luo Liqin confirmed.

”Good… weʼre just getting started.” Lin Mu said with a smile.

With the four fights of the first cycle over, Lin Mu reckoned it wouldnʼt take long for them to announce the next cycle of fights.

And sure enough, just half an hour later, the next series of fights were announced.

”Iʼm in the next cycle.” Ming Dandan announced.

”Me too.” Qian Wen added, his expression serious.

”So two of you.” Lin Mu muttered before looking at the formation screen that was also showing the contestants for the next cycle.

It was now that his eyes stuck to one of the names.

”Yao Changying…” Lin Mu saw that she was up against none other than Qian Wen.

~Sigh~

”Looks like Iʼll be ending my journey here.” Qian Wen spoke. ”Of course, after weakening Yao Changying.” He added.

”Itʼs not the end. Youʼll be with us after that too. After all, weʼre all invested into the bets.” Lin Mu said with a smile.

”Indeed.” Lu Xu nodded his head.

”How will we be going about this, Brother Mu Lin?” Ming Aolian asked. ”Dandan and Qian Wen both will have fights at the same time.”

Lin Mu thought about it for a bit before looking at the competitor of Ming Dandan.

”If youʼre able to hold on for some time, Iʼll be able to help you secure a victory.” Lin Mu replied. ”We can study your opponent and make a strategy against him.” He added.

Ming Dandanʼs opponent was a Fourth Tribulation stage immortal and would be a tough opponent for her.

”Iʼll do my best!” Ming Dandan nodded her head.

”My fight should be over soon anyways.” Qian Wen replied. ”I just have to fight long enough so that I can use the tool that Crown Princess Shang gave us.” He spoke.

”Indeed. Iʼll give you an opportunity for that.” Lin Mu said.

”How?” he asked.

”I should be able to stop Yao Changying from moving. Itʼll be for a very short time, though. In that time, you will just have to reach her and use the tool.” Lin Mu answered. ”After that though… itʼs best you withdraw. It wonʼt do well for you to get injured. Especially now that we know she has some other motives.” He suggested.

”Yeah, that does seem like the best.” Qian Wen agreed. ”Iʼm content having come this far. My superiors in the army will be pleased.”

”Haha! Wonʼt it net you an easy promotion?” Lu Xu seemed to know more.

”Most likely.” Qian Wen chuckled. ”They do give incentives to those that do well in the tournament. Reaching top 64 would already be enough for a promotion of someone of my ranking.” He explained.

”Thatʼs good then. That, in addition to the rewards and immortal stones, should make you even stronger later.” Lin Mu reckoned.

”Thatʼs a given.” Ming Aolian chimed in.

”Well then, letʼs get to work on studying your opponent shall we?” Lin Mu said to Ming Dandan.
