The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

The female Gu cultivator dared not delay, quickly tossing three dice into the dice cup and shaking it vigorously.

Before long, the Ninth Young Master called to stop, and the female Gu cultivator finally set the cup down on the table, then lifted it.

The three dice displayed a result of 6-6-5, just one short of the highest possible score of eighteen.

For the God of Gambling to win, he would need to roll an eighteen.

But what are the odds of rolling an eighteen?

Seeing a total of seventeen on the table, the Ninth Young Master laughed aloud, glancing at the God of Gambling, saying, "Ha! I scored seventeen this time; let's see how you beat that!"

The God of Gambling ignored him and looked at the female Gu cultivator, calmly instructing, “Roll the dice.”

The female Gu cultivator placed the three dice back into the cup and began to shake it.

As usual, she had barely started shaking when the God of Gambling called to stop.

At his command, she put down the dice cup and lifted it, revealing three sixes for all to see.

The crowd collectively gasped.

It was eighteen points, again. That made it eight consecutive wins.

There had to be something supernatural at work; no one would believe otherwise.

“How is this possible?”

The Ninth Young Master’s face contorted with rage as he shouted, unable to hold back, and stood up abruptly.

His eyes were wide, bloodshot, staring in disbelief at the dice’s result on the table.

Finally, he slumped back into his seat, his eyes vacant as if his spirit had left him.

At this point, he was certain the game was rigged, and he could not keep gambling.

Even though he had lost a massive amount of treasures, he maintained his composure, with no gambler’s impulse to try to recoup his losses.

He planned to leave immediately after the God of Gambling collected his winnings, to escape from the table as quickly as possible.

“Ha-ha, well played! Well played! Another win for me!”

“It seems my luck today is truly extraordinary!”

The God of Gambling glanced at him with a smile and said, “Now I’ll collect the winnings; be prepared!”

With a smirk, he clapped his hands, and the treasures within the Ninth Young Master’s storage ring began to disappear in waves.

This time, however, it was different: all the treasures in the Ninth Young Master’s storage ring vanished completely.

And that was not all.

After the treasures emptied, the large storage ring itself disappeared into thin air.

Immediately after, the integrity Gu he had placed on the table also vanished, as did his insects-rearing bag.

Even his fine clothes disappeared in an instant.

The Ninth Young Master was dumbfounded and roared, “What on earth are you doing?”

“I still had enough treasures to keep betting at least ten more rounds, so why take everything from me?”

“In the past seven rounds, you only took treasures equivalent to five golden toads. Why now take all my treasures?”

“Even if your golden toad’s value increased, it shouldn’t go up like this!”

Standing shirtless amidst the crowd, the Ninth Young Master wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

It was a complete disgrace; when had the esteemed Ninth Young Master ever suffered such humiliation?

The God of Gambling looked confused, feigning innocence as he said, “I’ve always taken treasures worth five golden toads. I haven’t changed a thing.”

“Oh! Right, I forgot to mention, my God of Gambling Gu detected that you own numerous shops.”

“So, the God of Gambling Gu prioritized taking treasures from your stores. The first seven rounds only claimed a small portion from your storage ring.”

“But during the eighth round, your stores were emptied entirely, so the God of Gambling Gu had no choice but to take everything on your person.”

“And since it still wasn’t enough, you’ll need to borrow more from your clan to cover the debt.”

Hearing that all his shops had been emptied by the God of Gambling, the Ninth Young Master opened his mouth wide, entirely unable to stay calm, shouting in disbelief:

“What? You’ve emptied all my stores?”

“Are you kidding me?”

“Do you even know how wealthy I am, or how many treasures those stores contained?”

“I’m not exaggerating; if I used those assets to bet with you, I could gamble with you a thousand times without issue!”

“But now, after just eight rounds, you’re taking everything from me?”

The Ninth Young Master howled in fury, on the verge of going mad.

As a candidate for the head of the Qian Chamber of Commerce, he oversaw an entire region’s businesses.

The wealth of an entire region was massive, and it was all family property. He merely managed it—how could he gamble it away?

He could imagine the consequences awaiting him once his clan learned he had lost the wealth of an entire region.

At this moment, the Ninth Young Master’s face was pale, his eyes reflecting a growing sense of despair.

The God of Gambling gave him a look of bewilderment and said, confused:

“Didn’t I tell you from the beginning? My rules are the same as your Qian clan’s treasure merchants.”

“To trade with me, you must present items of higher value for exchange.”

“Oh! I forgot to mention, the value of items varies by region.”

“I come from the Divine Realm, so I meant the prices in the Divine Realm.”

“Apologies for the misunderstanding!” The God of Gambling wore an apologetic expression.

“You... F**k!” The Ninth Young Master pointed a finger at him, unable to contain himself, and cursed.

“Pfft!” Unable to withstand the shock any longer, the Ninth Young Master spat out blood and collapsed to the ground.

“Ninth Young Master!”

“Ninth Young Master!”

……

The Qian Clan's Gu cultivators scrambled in a chaotic rush forward.

"Sigh! Carry him away! Next!" The God of Gambling declared smugly.

Long Xuan's mouth twitched; he was utterly shocked—was this even possible?

Through the records in Long Ziyan's book, any part of the Gu World compared to the Divine Realm was like a remote backwater.

The Divine Realm was a thousand times richer than the Gu World.

In that place, spirit stones and treasures were everywhere, making wealth almost trivial.

If the God of Gambling was referring to the Divine Realm's prices, it was no wonder that Ninth Young Master lost all his assets in just eight rounds.

Long Xuan had suspected this God of Gambling would be sly, and sure enough, he was.

He was truly cunning, deliberately avoiding any mention of prices. He only moved a small amount of treasure from Ninth Young Master’s storage ring with each win, lulling him into complacency.

Then, he proceeded to plunder the countless stores that Ninth Young Master managed in distant lands.

Once he'd emptied every last shop, he bared his final fangs and delivered a fatal blow.

In the end, he even acted innocent, with a puzzled expression. His performance was incredible!

He was reaping benefits while acting innocent—what a shameless person!

Long Xuan now had a clear understanding of this God of Gambling's insidious nature.

But Ninth Young Master's shops were incredibly far from here.

For this God of Gambling Gu to empty out all the stores at such a vast distance—this ability was nothing short of extraordinary.

With such a loss to the family, Ninth Young Master’s status as a clan head candidate was likely doomed.

Long Xuan couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for him.

"Didn't you say you'd help me get that Repair Insect? This God of Gambling is so cunning; I’m curious about how you plan to beat him."

Long Xuan glanced over at Di Xin, asking through soul transmission.

Di Xin immediately responded through soul transmission, "You should understand that no gambling game has a 100% chance of winning."

"Every person who's gambled against him so far has felt supremely confident, certain they'd win. And the result?"

"So don’t get too cocky. If you want to obtain his treasure, the best approach is not to gamble with him."

"My previous idea was to kill that Repair Insect and let it respawn randomly in the world. I have a way to find its new location."

Hearing this, Long Xuan was taken aback. So this Di Xin planned to kill the God of Gambling’s Repair Insect right under his nose.

She really didn’t regard this God of Gambling at all!

What kind of hidden cards did she have, to be so confident she could destroy his possession and leave here unscathed?

Wasn't she a bit too bloated?

Long Xuan gained newfound respect for her audacity.

Well, it made sense. She’d regularly plundered treasure vaults protected by Gu Kings and always escaped unscathed—what wouldn’t she dare to do?

"Don't cause any trouble, just stay calm."

"I don't need your help on this; I have a way to handle him."

Long Xuan, now alarmed, quickly tried to stop her from acting rashly.

Di Xin gave him a sidelong look. Was he doubting her strength? With a sly smile, she replied, "So confident? You have a way to handle him? I’d like to see how you deal with this God of Gambling."

As the two conversed, yet another bold challenger stepped forward, smiling at the God of Gambling.

"My game is simple: guess how many toes are on my right foot."

Qin Kai looked at the God of Gambling with a confident expression, sneering inwardly.

If this God of Gambling guessed anything other than five, he’d lose.

If he guessed there were five toes, Qin Kai would have a Gu insect hidden in his shoe eat one of them.

No matter what the God of Gambling guessed, he would be wrong. Qin Kai was certain he’d win this round.

Seeing such an inventive game, the God of Gambling chuckled and said, "I’ll take on this gamble. So, what do you want, and what are you willing to stake?"

Qin Kai's eyes burned with greed as he stared at the God of Gambling, exclaiming madly, "I want to wager for your God of Gambling Gu. Since you claim everything can be gambled, surely the God of Gambling Gu isn't exempt?"

Upon hearing this, the God of Gambling’s smile grew even wider.

"My, what a grand appetite—you even dare to set your sights on the God of Gambling Gu."

"I’ve said it before; everything can be gambled, and that naturally includes the God of Gambling Gu."

"If you want to wager for the God of Gambling Gu, you’ll have to stake something of equal value."

"You probably have no idea what kind of existence the God of Gambling Gu really is."

"Let me be blunt: even if your entire wealth multiplied a hundredfold, it would still be impossible for you to match the value of my God of Gambling Gu."

"So you’d better pick something else—you don’t have the assets to wager for the God of Gambling Gu."
