Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 430 "Enlightenment in the Casino"

Proud to come to the country.

Changsheng Casino.

"big big big!"

"Little little!"

The sounds of gamblers betting rose and fell, their enthusiasm high, their attention completely focused on the gambling table, oblivious to everything else.

Several burly men from the gambling den kept an eye on the casino to prevent any trouble, while also watching the Taoist priest and the female gambler who were huddled in the corner with their heads in their hands, occasionally letting out a cold laugh.

"Pah, such a big mouth, it really startled this old man."

The burly man who had just been thrown by the Bodhi Taoist spat and said disdainfully, "So he's just a poor Taoist priest. Humph, he's trying to act like a chivalrous hero and save lives..."

At this point, he glanced at the ordinary-looking female gambler and swallowed the last word.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that?"

Before Bodhi Daoist could say anything, the woman next to him, who called herself Xiaoyun, couldn't help but speak up: "Old, cough, when I came here, you all surrounded me and treated me with utmost respect. Now that I'm broke, is this how you treat me?"

Hahaha... Upon hearing this, the Taoist couldn't help but smile, but he quickly pursed his lips to suppress it and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Finally, he even raised his hand to cover his mouth.

Well, to be fair, someone with that kind of looks would be chased away even if she only had a piece of fruit in a brothel.

Xiaoyun immediately turned her head and glared fiercely at Bodhi Daoist.

The burly man sneered, "That's right, the gambling den's doors are open on both sides. If you don't have money in your pocket, don't come in. If you have money, we'll even call you grandma. If you don't have money, hmph, you two should think about how to pay off your debts!"

Bodhi quickly stood up and said, "Good believer, do you think we can discuss this? We can leave this fellow Daoist here while I go out and raise the money to ransom her, shall we?"

Regardless of who this woman was, he thought she was out of her mind, and all he wanted to do now was run away.

He only wanted to make a good connection with them since they were just strangers, not to get himself involved.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyun jumped up and said unhappily, "Why can't I leave you here while I go out to raise money?"

"Squat down! I told you to stand up!"

The burly man raised his stick, as if to strike: "You two, now you'd better squat down properly. We'll talk about how to deal with you when our manager comes back."

The Taoist priest's gaze sharpened as the stick was pointed at him: "Try pointing at me again... Ouch!"

The burly man was intimidated by his gaze and subconsciously took two steps back, but then he saw the woman kick the Taoist in the shin.

Instantly, the young Taoist priest's legs went weak and he squatted down, turning his head angrily to look at the female gambler who had quickly squatted down.

The burly man scoffed, "You're too weak to fall over with just a light kick from a woman. Why don't you renounce your vows and join us? We'll teach you how to be a real man."

Bodhi's face darkened, looking as if he had swallowed a fly.

A gentle kick?
You bunch of people who only see the tires with your naked eyes don't understand the weight of that kick. Your Aolai Kingdom sank the moment it landed, understand?

I saved all of you, do you understand?

"Alright, alright, let's wait for the shopkeeper to arrive before we talk about it."

Xiaoyun quickly smiled apologetically and coaxed the big man to leave before letting out a sigh of relief.

Bodhi said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist, I saw you were in trouble and helped you pay off your debt out of kindness. Well, even though you didn't pay it off, you can't repay kindness with enmity and make a kind person feel disheartened, can you?"

He possesses immense magical power and supernatural abilities, but he's completely restrained by this eccentric and eccentric guy beside him, unable to unleash them.

Honestly, he's almost itching to self-destruct this 82nd clone of Dongzhou, and then have a nearby clone take over the follow-up.

Xiaoyun patted the Taoist on the shoulder with a smile and said, "I said, it's better to meet by chance than to meet by plan. A chance encounter is fate. Since you want to make a good connection, why not finish what you started and be a good person to the end?"

I regret it so much... Bodhi didn't say anything, looking at the bustling gambling hall in front of him, and then at himself squatting on the ground, he couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, these people would never have imagined, even if they racked their brains, that the person they were guarding had such an astonishing identity in the outside world.

Not only could they not have imagined it, but even in the world of cultivation and alchemy, those great immortals and deities would never have imagined such a thing could happen.

The mortals watched the two powerful immortals like cats watching mice.

As for the combination of the Taoist priest and the female gambler...
At this moment, however, each of them had their own thoughts.

If these people are giving false identities, then who are they?

A thoughtful look flashed in their eyes as they looked at each other.

Bodhi Daoren was deep in thought, his brows furrowing into deep wrinkles.

Although he was only an avatar, his true form was so powerful that even ordinary immortals would not be able to discern his identity, let alone render him powerless to fight back.

This is a great deity, at least at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. As for who it is... although there aren't many experts at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level in the prehistoric world, there are definitely quite a few.

This "woman" could be anyone.

He did not narrow down the scope to goddesses just because Xiaoyun was a woman, because when life reaches the level of the Great Luo, gender has no meaning to them.

Even though his master has countless incarnations, who can be sure that he doesn't have a few female incarnations?
But the name Xiaoyun... wasn't in his mental database, yet he felt something was vaguely off.

Wait a minute!
Suddenly, Bodhi's eyes flashed, and when he looked at the woman again, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

Xiaoyun read it backwards, could it be...that person?
His expression immediately turned strange. The name "Xiaoyun" read backwards is...Yunxiao?!

He's practically worn out of using this kind of trick—reversing names or replacing them with homophones—cough cough, he's all too familiar with it.

"I saw her on the Three Immortal Islands last time, and besides, why would Yunxiao come to the mortal world to play this game?"

Bodhi Daoist glanced at the woman beside him with some hesitation, shaking his head inwardly, unwilling to believe the outcome.

It should be noted that among the Three Immortals of the Clouds, Bixiao and Qiongxiao are impulsive and reckless in the original Investiture of the Gods. They even dare to confront and attack their master without giving him any face.

Yunxiao, as the eldest among them, is mature and steady, acts with discretion, and possesses great supernatural powers. In the Investiture of the Gods, she was forced to take action against the Twelve Immortal Leaders.

After witnessing Yunxiao's extraordinary and peerless beauty at the Heavenly Peach Banquet, I became even more certain... Yunxiao was right!

The mistake was that Lu Ya, the sixth brother, used the Seven Arrows of Nailhead to plot against Lao Zhao.

The secret technique was provided by Lu Ya, the operation was carried out by Jiang Ziya, and the consequences were borne by the twelve great vengeful spirits.

Regardless of whether it was in his past or present life, the original self had a very good impression of this fairy and a particularly high opinion of her. Therefore, the original self has always felt regretful that Yunxiao was sent to the Investiture of the Gods.

But now you're telling him that this female gambler is Yunxiao?

No, no, no! Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
It was already outrageous enough that one of his younger sisters was addicted to brothels and the other was a master of poison making, but he simply couldn't believe that his eldest brother had also "collapsed."

only……

Bodhi Daoist sighed. Why was it that the more he doubted it, the more likely it was that person?
Perhaps I was too emotional to make a calm judgment... Bodhi Daoist's eyes flashed, and he immediately began to connect his thoughts to Zhongnan Mountain No. 1.

He was going to use the Honghuang brand "Yuquanshan Gold Medal Lecturer" communicator to conduct the analysis.

The system inside is his primordial spirit, containing almost all of the original body's memories, but with emotions erased, allowing for the most rational analysis.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyun, who was standing next to her, was not idle either.

Who is the owner of this clone...? Xiaoyun frowned. Although she was able to tell that this was just a clone, she also discovered that this person's clone technique had been practiced to an incredible degree.

It was so unbelievable that she was speechless!
The clone technique also contains extremely subtle variations, and if she hadn't been at a high enough level, she might not have been able to see through it.

Even more outrageous, she discovered that there was a restriction deep inside this clone.

Once subdued, and someone uses the ability to return to the origin to find the original body, this clone will trigger the restriction and self-destruct. Even she is not confident in stopping it.

She really left me speechless.

What?! Seventy-two percent chance... Suddenly, Bodhi, who was standing next to her, was stunned by the result, which drew Xiaoyun's surprised look.

Bodhi immediately composed himself and pretended to be nonchalant. Well, 72% is still a bit low.

It seems I need to gather more useful keywords… The two exchanged a glance and thought to themselves.

“No, fellow Daoist, I still don’t quite understand why you, a great immortal, would be so obsessed with these things?” Bodhi asked.

Xiaoyun raised her chin and pointed to the lively scene, smiling slightly, "Did you see that? How's the atmosphere here?"

Bodhi then looked closely and saw that the lavishly decorated hall was filled with laughter, and every man and woman had a smile on their face. In addition, the rich aroma of wine mixed with the scent of perfume, and dice were rolling wildly in the bowl, while coins clattered and made a series of crisp sounds.

Bodhi frowned: "Chaos!"

Immortals all prefer stillness to movement, and purity to turbidity!
This is why most of them are in the mortal world, in heaven, overseas, or in sacred mountains and lands.

Xiaoyun smiled and said, "You can't achieve the Great Luo Dao Fruit by just sitting in meditation and seclusion."

A glint of light flashed in Bodhi's eyes: "What do you mean by that?"

Xiaoyun closed her eyes and smiled, "Did you hear that?"

"what?"

"The sound of dice hitting the bowl, the clatter of coins... almost no sound in the world can compare to it. I love listening to these sounds." Xiaoyun finally opened her eyes and looked at Bodhi.

The Bodhi Taoist remained silent in thought.

"What are your hobbies, fellow Daoist?" Xiaoyun asked.

Bodhi pondered and said, "Cultivate, comprehend the Dao, and climb to the highest peak of the immortal path."

Let's leave aside brothels and massage parlors; it's best not to discuss them with anyone who isn't a fellow enthusiast.

Xiaoyun continued, "What happens after you climb to the peak of immortality? You should know that there will always be a limit. What will you do when you reach that limit and can no longer step into a higher realm?"

Bodhi said, "Then you can go on a trip with two or three close friends, or sit and enjoy tea and discuss philosophy."

Simply put, it's about getting together with friends to go out for a stroll or have some tea after staying home for too long.

Xiaoyun shook her head: "Although immortals live a carefree and long life, being an immortal is also very tiring and boring. Not only are there countless tribulations, but over the long years, one has to look down on all things in the world to grow old, get sick and die. After a long time, one will lose oneself... This is also a great tribulation."

Bodhi frowned: "The calamity of losing me?"

Xiaoyun smiled and said, "So sometimes it's not a bad thing to take off all the constraints and enjoy the luxuries like most ordinary people in the world."

Bodhi coughed lightly, "Alright, I do indeed quite enjoy it."

Who says that someone who has cultivated immortality their whole life can't enjoy life?
"And the most luxurious enjoyment is gambling. Here, you are not a high and mighty immortal. You are not burdened by the burdens of being an immortal. The great way is simple. You do not need magic or supernatural powers to compete with mortals in the simplest form of luck and obtain the ultimate enjoyment..."

Bodhi noticed that Xiaoyun's eyes were shining when she said this.

Enlightenment in a casino?

Bodhi Daoist's lips twitched slightly, revealing that this fellow Daoist had a genuine love for 'gambling' from the bottom of his heart.

Bodhi pondered for a moment and asked, "How long have you been involved in this field?"

Xiaoyun smiled mysteriously: "What, are you getting interested?"

"No, I'm just curious, how come you owe so much money to mortals after enjoying yourself for so long?"

Bodhi glanced at Xiaoyun and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you, fellow Daoist, are destined to lose every time you gamble?"

Xiaoyun immediately objected: "How is that possible? Let me tell you, my technique has reached an unparalleled level."

In the past, I would dominate the game and come home with a huge winnings, then distribute the money to the poor. This way, everyone was happy, and it was considered a good deed.

Those who lose money aren't happy... Bodhi asked, "What about this time?"

Xiaoyun coughed lightly: "But you also know that fortunes change, and sometimes skill is no match for luck, so it's inevitable that things will not go well, like... this time."

Bodhi said speechlessly, "So what exactly do you want this time to let me leave?"

Xiaoyun, beaming, stretched out her hand and said, "This fairy has never suffered such a big setback before. Take out your other valuables and exchange them for some money so I can get my revenge first."

"No, no, look at my whole body, what's worth anything?" Bodhi shook his head like a rattle drum.

Xiaoyun sighed, "Really? That's such a pity. I was planning to help you cultivate to the Great Luo Dao Fruit this time, but it's a shame. You can go now."

"Well... I can search your person."

Bodhi hesitated upon hearing this before speaking, and then began to search his body.

A moment later, Xiaoyun looked at the jade hairpin, the string of jade beads, the whisk, and the sword in Bodhi's hand, and her expression became uncontrollably sour.

This guy……

He had been complaining about being so poor that he couldn't afford anything, but when he heard about the Great Luo Dao Fruit, he didn't hide anything and took it all out.

No, not necessarily all of them, because...

Bodhi asked somewhat uncertainly, "Is that enough? If not, I'll take two more."

Xiaoyun said with a dark face, "If it's not enough, say more!"

Bodhi then said, "By the way, with your cultivation level, you must have accumulated quite a fortune. How come you've fallen into such a predicament and need help from an outsider like me?"

Xiaoyun waved her hand: "This... naturally it's inconvenient for relatives and friends to know. Asking for your help is just because we met by chance. You don't know me and I don't know you."

Bodhi nodded slightly.

Just as the two were discussing this, someone came into the casino.

Everyone here is gambling, their attention is on the gambling table, but when this person comes in, everyone can't help but look up, a hint of envy in their eyes.

Because this person is Jia Tianyuan, the manager of this gambling den!

It is said that this gambling den is an enterprise under a major immortal sect surrounding Aolai Kingdom, and this Jia Tianyuan is an outer disciple of the immortal sect.

Even the Qi cultivators in the immortal sects need to eat, and supporting the operation of an immortal sect naturally requires a lot of industry support.

Don't underestimate this Manager Jia just because he's an outer disciple. He's already reached a level that they can't even begin to comprehend. His flying sword technique has killed many sore losers who cause trouble.

Jia Tianyuan, a man of noble bearing, was dressed in fine silk clothing. His slightly greasy, chubby face wore a smile as he walked straight toward the two men with his hands behind his back.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Xiaoyun? What kind of bastards are you doing?"

Jia Tianyuan gave his burly men a good scolding before stepping forward with a forced smile and saying, "I'm really sorry, Boss Xiao, these clueless guys have ruined your fun. How about you take a break for now?"

Xiaoyun stood up and said calmly, "Wait a minute, this time I invited a friend to help me recoup my losses."

Jia Tianyuan looked at Bodhi Daoist, his smile undiminished: "This Daoist is quite unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"

Bodhi nodded slightly and tossed the jade bracelet in his hand: "Enough of the small talk, I'll bet 300,000 Aolai coins on this, is that alright?"

This is… Jia Tianyuan took the bracelet, his expression immediately changed, and he quickly said seriously, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”

A short while later, Xiaoyun excitedly joined the gambling table.

This gambling den is quite well-equipped, with dice, dominoes, and some other games.

Xiaoyun was not exaggerating; her skills were indeed superb. The dominoes seemed to come alive in her hands.

It can take any shape you want.

"The Goddess of Gamblers of the Primordial Era..." Bodhi was somewhat surprised. At this moment, Xiaoyun had sealed off her divine abilities and was just a mortal, while this was a pure technique she had cultivated.

Hua Lihu, cough cough, absolutely brilliant.

With such skills and techniques, even without divine intervention, one can win a fortune and earn the title of God of Gamblers by cheating.

Half an hour later, Xiaoyun asked Bodhi for help, but she lost all of the 300,000.

"Cheating is not allowed? I see they've all cheated." Bodhi handed over the jade hairpin with a hint of heartache.

Xiaoyun patted his chest and said, "I already said enjoy it. Enjoy the process. Is it glorious for a celestial being like you to cheat against a mortal and win? I'm going to gamble on Sic Bo."

But losing would be even more embarrassing!
Uh, so that's why he changed his identity and started using a pseudonym... Bodhi helplessly covered his face.

I never expected to encounter such a weirdo on my first time being a sponsor.

Fine, he'd put up with it for the sake of the Great Luo Dao Fruit, but after watching for a while, he really couldn't muster much interest in these 'enlightenment in casino' games.

He doesn't have Xiaoyun's lofty mindset!

When it comes to playing games, he's very competitive. His goal in playing is to win, and he'll criticize anyone who messes up. If he didn't care about winning or losing, he'd rather not play at all.
