Chapter 131 Are you surprised or not?
Chen Tianba's shout caused almost everyone's expression to change drastically.
When Xingchen Daoren broke through from the late Nascent Soul stage to the Great Perfection stage, he must have consumed a massive amount of resources.
He broke through at the exact moment of the spirit stone distribution, which undoubtedly meant he used a large number of spirit stones.
This made everyone's hearts bleed, and they all stared intently at the Star Daoist.
"You brat, stop thinking about your little bit of spirit stones. How could your master take advantage of a junior like you? I don't even have enough spirit stones to use up."
Daoist Xingchen remained expressionless and spoke coldly.
"You have more spirit stones than you can use, so you're using your own share?"
Chen Tianba looked on with suspicion. He knew his master's character all too well.
"This is not the place to talk. Come with me into the hall."
With a wave of his long sleeves, Daoist Xingchen brought everyone to his main hall in an instant.
After all, the mountain he was on was Star Peak, the main peak among all the peaks.
When the group arrived at the main hall, they saw Qinghe Daoist casually wave his hand, and with a whoosh, a mountain of spirit stones appeared in the hall.
Low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade spirit stones were piled up, gleaming with dazzling light, making the entire hall shine brightly.
"We actually earned so many spirit stones?"
"All these spirit stones are ours?"
Upon seeing this, the eight peak masters exclaimed in surprise.
They were used to being poor in the Star Palace and had never seen so many spirit stones before.
"Master, are all these ours?"
"We actually made so much money?"
As the eight peak masters cried out in surprise, Lu Haoran spoke first, followed by Ye Xinghe.
Although they didn't know exactly how much there was in this huge pile, Chen Tianba had told them the approximate number.
Since all eight peak masters were exclaiming in surprise, they naturally had to follow suit, so as to appear as if they were also completely unaware.
"Haha, happy, aren't you? Excited, aren't you! These are all ours, we earned them!"
"Our Star Palace is rich! We're incredibly rich! We're no longer that dirt poor sect!"
Star Daoist sat in the main seat, laughing heartily with a smug look on his face.
"Sect Leader, with so many spirit stones, could you please tell us the total number?"
One person stepped forward, took a deep breath in front of the piles of spirit stones, and picked up a top-grade spirit stone to play with in his hand.
"Well, I have all the records, not a single one is missing."
This time, all the spirit stones bet are here. Look!
As Xingchen Daoist raised his hand, a piece of paper flew to the man's face.
Upon receiving the paper, the man exclaimed in surprise, "Nine hundred and eighty-nine thousand eight hundred top-grade spirit stones?"
His shout caused everyone else to gasp in shock. "Nine hundred and eighty-nine thousand eight hundred top-grade spirit stones?"
"Nine hundred and eighty-nine thousand eight hundred top-grade spirit stones?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianba felt a chill in his heart. Just as he had suspected, Daoist Xingchen had indeed done something wrong.
Lu Haoran and Ye Xinghe shook their heads as they looked at the pile of top-grade spirit stones, as it seemed to be far from what they had originally expected.
However, knowing their master's temperament, they knew there must be something shady going on, so they had to keep quiet and not reveal a word.
"Keep reading, how many high-grade spirit stones are there? How many mid-grade spirit stones are there? How many low-grade spirit stones are there?"
The seven peak masters shouted in unison and stepped forward.
The man nodded vigorously, swallowed hard, and loudly proclaimed again, "Three million four hundred and fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones?"
"One hundred and eighty-nine million seven hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones?"
"Six hundred and sixty-seven million five hundred and eighty thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
With each number the man uttered, the peak masters were shocked once more, while Daoist Xingchen secretly gloated to himself.
However, he quickly sensed something was wrong and turned to look at the five personal disciples hiding to the side. He saw that although the five were nodding, their expressions were indifferent, especially Chen Tianba, whose face was full of anger.
"Did these kids find out something?"
Xingchen Daoren's heart stirred.
He didn't even contribute one-thirtieth of it.
However, if Chen Tianba really knows something and leaks it, he will not hesitate to suppress him.
We absolutely cannot let the peak masters become suspicious.
Shen Rugo looked at the eight peak masters and shook her head repeatedly. These guys were being sold out and they were still happy about it.
He also noticed the reactions of Chen Tianba and the others, and with a thought, he looked at them.
As he looked up, he happened to see Xiao Qiushui looking at him, her eyes full of doubt and expectation, and she almost asked a question.
Shen Rugo quickly averted her gaze.
She really felt bad about keeping this from her unreliable master and her fellow disciples, since they had been so good to her.
Before their master even agreed to take her in, her fellow disciples had already accepted her.
Lu Haoran then looked at Shen Rugo and, seeing her expression, understood what was going on.
However, over the past few days, he has also figured out the situation regarding Star Palace's betting on Shen Rugo.
Besides the sect, there were his five fellow disciples, his master, Shen Rugo, and the eight peak masters.
In other words, apart from their own people, the eight peak masters placed the most bets, totaling more than 8,000 top-grade spirit stones, which accounted for a significant portion of the total.
If Chen Tianba's original calculations were correct, with odds reaching a thousand times, the eight peak masters would earn eight million top-grade spirit stones.
This is an astronomical figure, clearly far exceeding what Master has presented at this moment.
If this were revealed, the eight peak masters would likely be thrown into chaos.
When the eight peak masters were in disarray, the Star Palace fell into chaos.
The Star Palace must not be thrown into chaos. The Star Palace must rise again and restore its ancient glory. This is everyone's goal.
Lu Haoran then lowered his head and gently tugged at Chen Tianba and Ye Xinghe.
These two have the most volatile tempers and are most likely to leak information.
"Sect Leader, our Star Palace has really struck it rich this time! We're really going to rise to power!"
The peak master of Putuo Peak looked at the spirit stone and shouted with great joy.
"Our Star Palace has struck it rich! We've finally escaped poverty! We're finally going to rise up!"
The other seven nodded repeatedly and burst into laughter.
"Haha, fellow junior brothers, I'm just as happy as you are. Our Star Palace has finally escaped poverty, and we can finally make a big splash."
With so many spirit stones, we can purchase various cultivation resources and provide the best cultivation conditions for our talented disciples.
However, while all of this was made possible by the efforts of our Star Palace, the most crucial factor was our youngest disciple, Shen Rugo.
It was this child who came up with this brilliant plan. It was this child who, despite his own humiliation, endured physical and mental torment, and even suffered numerous injuries, accepted more than twenty challenges in a row before finally getting those people to hand over all their spirit stones.
Therefore, our Star Palace should thank Ru Ge, for it is this child who has brought good fortune to our Star Palace..."
The Starry Sky Daoist went on and on, praising Shen Rugo effusively.
"The sect leader is right, the greatest contributor this time is Shen Rugo!"
"Our Star Palace cannot treat this child unfairly. This child has earned so many spirit stones for us, he must be rewarded handsomely!"
"That's right, we must reward this child with a large amount of spirit stones!"
