How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

The big blue ox's eyes lit up, and it squeezed through the crowd to the front of the accountant's office, staring at the accountant in the silver robe and banging hard on the table.

He speaks fluent and resonant language, with a voice as loud as a bell.

"100,000 spirit stones, bet on Li Muyun to win the championship!"

These words immediately silenced the bustling Tian Gambling Pavilion. Just a moment ago, the Tian Gambling Pavilion was as noisy as a marketplace, but now it was completely silent because of the big green ox's words, and all eyes turned to it.

Everyone turned to look at the large, shimmering blue ox that had spoken.

The accountant, dressed in a silver-white robe, raised an eyebrow, then frowned and scolded as if shooing away a fly.

"Nonsense! Where did this beast come from? This is the sacred grounds of the Heavenly Gambling Pavilion! Do you think this is some kind of village playground?!"

Before the accountant could urge the big blue ox away again, a sly glint flashed in the ox's eyes, and it exhaled a heavy breath, then pulled a golden round ring from its stomach.

He slammed his hand down on the accounting desk.

"Damn it, you're looking down on people. When your grandpa was rolling in money, you weren't even an embryo."

The golden ring in the big blue ox's hand shone brightly, and his face was full of arrogance as he looked at the accountant with disdain.

Upon hearing this, everyone became interested and looked on with amusement, as if watching a show.

This green-headed bull demon is really interesting. He throws out 100,000 spirit stones as if they're nothing but dirt on him, and he even insults the accountant of the Heavenly Gambling Pavilion.

It's foreseeable that this unlucky bull demon will most likely end up being either braised or stir-fried.

To everyone's great surprise, the accountant's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets the moment he saw the golden ring appear, and he immediately adopted a humble and respectful attitude, saying solemnly.

"Senior Divine Ox, I was blind to your true nature and acted presumptuously. I sincerely apologize to you. 100,000 spirit stones to bet on Li Muyun to win the championship, is that right? Alright, I've noted it down."

The accountant looked reserved, and the white abacus in his hand shone brightly. It had been directly used as collateral for 100,000 spirit stones, which showed the power of this golden ring.

Seeing this, the big blue ox snorted twice in annoyance, shook its hair, and the crystal-clear, top-quality raw stones fell from its hair, piling up into a small mountain on the jade slab. The reflected light illuminated the entire pavilion as bright as day.

In just a short while, Li Muyun's bet skyrocketed, directly rising to first place with a bet of 100,000 spirit stones, a truly rare occurrence.

But this is just a small-scale, early-stage market activity; the real big players haven't personally entered the fray yet.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads. They never expected that in this world, a seemingly ordinary big blue ox could casually pull out 100,000 spirit stones.

Li Muyun's lips twitched as he looked at the smug, boastful blue ox in the distance, his face full of black lines. He hadn't even had a chance to place a bet yet, and the blue ox had already made its move first.

If everyone bets on themselves like this, even if they win, the odds will probably drop.

Big Blue Ox's move undoubtedly brought the atmosphere to its peak, and the other gamblers all placed their bets.

Previously incredibly expensive spirit stones were now scattered out like rain, turning into betting funds and being invested in the rankings on the field.

A girl in a pale yellow dress peeked out from behind the beaded curtains of a private room on the second floor, watching the large blue ox and Li Muyun below with great interest.

With her arched eyebrows and bright eyes, she stared blankly at Li Muyun below for a moment before finally pursing her lips.

"Hmph, what's so good about it? It's not worth betting 100,000! I'll add another 3,000 spirit stones to bet on Zhuge Danqing!"

As she spoke, the golden bell on her wrist jingled, and her attendants immediately understood, carrying a carved wooden box containing three thousand spirit stones into the accounting office.

Meanwhile, inside the private room, a swordsman shook his head, his gaze fixed on the celestial mirror, displaying an air of self-assurance amidst a world of drunkenness.

"They're still arguing. I'll add another 10,000 spirit stones to Huo Polu. Last month in the East Sea, he single-handedly killed a dragon beast! I saw it clearly."

After saying that, he quickly looked around to make sure that no news had been leaked, and then triumphantly gave Huo Polu another 10,000 spirit stones.

Among the top contenders for the championship, there are none other than the descendants of the three marquises and kings, plus the somewhat low-profile Zhao Tianming. As for Li Muyun, there is too little information available, so he is not included in this list.

The people of the Tang Dynasty naturally favored their own cultivators, while the cultivators of the other three great empires were few and far between.

Just as the atmosphere was getting more and more heated and the stakes were rising, a loud voice came, and the twelve-sided celestial mirror suddenly shone brightly, and two more names appeared on the list.

Breaking news! The Crown Prince and His Highness the Prince of Qin will also participate in this year's imperial examination!

The light screen on the twelve-sided celestial mirror dispersed in bursts, revealing two names: the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and His Highness the Prince of Qin.

Everyone who was placing bets was stunned and stared at the list above in disbelief!

"This is... the Crown Prince? Why is the Crown Prince participating in the imperial examinations? This year's examinations are truly remarkable!"

"Your Highness, the Prince of Qin? Your Highness is simply not fond of fighting, but if Your Highness were to take action, this gamble would be a death sentence!"

The appearance of His Highness the Prince of Qin and the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace caused a huge uproar throughout the entire Tian Gambling Pavilion.

After a brief period of shock and discussion, countless hesitant gamblers rushed to the front of the stage.

The names of the Crown Prince and His Highness the Prince of Qin resounded far and wide.

Even those who had already placed bets changed their bets and put their bets on the King of Qin or the Crown Prince.

"My brother, the King of Qin, is participating?!"

The girl in the pale yellow dress in the other room widened her eyes in surprise and exclaimed repeatedly. She hurriedly dismissed her servants and changed the bet. The spirit stones that had been placed on Zhuge Danqing were all transferred to His Highness the Prince of Qin.

The swordsman above was also greatly shocked. He hurriedly jumped down from the side room and quickly took 10,000 of the 13,000 coins that had been placed on Huo Polu and placed them on the Crown Prince.

The shadow of a famous tree.

Today, the Tang emperor holds absolute power, suppressing the entire Tang Dynasty. But if the Tang emperor were to pass away a thousand years later, the two most likely successors would undoubtedly be these two.

Both the King of Qin and the Crown Prince rarely made a move, but what is certain is that, given the Tang Emperor's unparalleled martial arts skills, cultivation level was naturally a factor in his selection of a successor.

The strength of these two individuals has always been considered unfathomable.

Once it makes a move, it will be earth-shattering, sweeping away the level of its peers.

Now that the two are gambling, everyone naturally flocks to them.
