Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

Hearing that Ah Ying could actually absorb other people's luck for him, Li Mu was amazed.

"Yes, Master, I can absorb all the energy in the world, and luck is also a kind of energy from heaven and earth," Ah Ying replied.

"Holy crap, it can even absorb luck? That's incredible! So, if you just absorb all the luck from everyone in the city, or even the whole world, and give it to me, wouldn't I become the luckiest person in the world? And everyone else would be out of luck, and I'd be invincible just by relying on luck alone!"

"Hehehe, Master, you're only thinking good things! First of all, my ability to absorb other people's luck is limited; right now, I can only absorb luck within a radius of several hundred meters. Secondly, I can't absorb other people's luck anytime, anywhere; there are conditions!"

Ah Ying said with a smile.

What are the requirements?

"You can only absorb luck when it's active and obvious in other people. And in a place like a casino, luck is the main thing, so the gamblers' luck is more active and obvious, which is why I can absorb it. In other places, it's not so easy to absorb other people's luck."

"I see. Alright, let's go to the casino and blew him a fortune! I also want to see what happens when I absorb all the luck of others and concentrate it all on myself! Hahaha!"

Li Mu said with a smile, filled with curiosity and excitement.

"Brother Jie, Ah Yu, there's a really big casino up ahead. Want to try your luck?"

So Li Mu asked Zhang Jie and the other man.

"Gambling dens? Nine out of ten gamblers lose there. I think we shouldn't go." Zhang Jie waved his hand and said.

"Brother, I want to go! Hehehe! I think the casino must be so much fun and exciting!"

Zhang Yu, however, seemed quite intrigued.

"Um, Amu, if you really want to go have some fun, that's fine. You can take Ayu in and have some fun. I won't go. I'll go to the market nearby. Contact me when you're done having fun."

Zhang Jie glanced at his younger sister, and seeing that she really wanted to go play, he couldn't bear to stop her, so he patted Li Mu's arm and said.

Clearly, he has absolutely no interest in gambling.

"Alright, Brother Jie, we'll contact you again later."

Li Mu nodded.

Seeing that her brother had agreed, Zhang Yu clapped her hands happily, like a little girl.

In fact, Zhang Yu is indeed very simple-minded and doesn't have much experience in the martial arts world. She is somewhat lively but not very flamboyant.

The key point is that with her brother away, she can be alone with Mu Ge, which makes her even more excited.

"Well then, good luck, bro! You guys be careful too."

Zhang Jie then parted ways with Li Mu and his sister.

Actually, he also wanted to take this opportunity to create a chance for his sister to be alone with Li Mu.

He knew that Ayu had fallen for Li Mu.

But he could also tell that Li Mu didn't seem to have any feelings for his sister.

If they could spend more time alone together, perhaps they could develop feelings for each other?

Regardless, Zhang Jie dotes on his younger sister and will fully support her in whatever she likes.

"Brother Mu, do you really like gambling?"

After Zhang Jie left, Zhang Yu followed Li Mu toward the gambling house.

"I wouldn't say I like it, but I feel like I'm going to have some good luck today and want to make a fortune," Li Mu said.

"Really? Great! I'll try my luck and make a fortune too, hehe! But I've never been to a casino before, so I don't know how to play."

Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"Actually, this is my first time entering a gambling den in the cultivation world, but it doesn't matter. The games in gambling dens are usually very simple, perhaps similar to casinos in the mortal world."

As they chatted, they arrived at the entrance of the casino.

Before they entered, a burly guard with considerable cultivation approached them and asked, "Are you two fellow Daoists heading into the gambling den?"

"Yes," Li Mu nodded in reply.

"Anyone entering the gambling den must first pass through the sealing barrier at the entrance, which seals spiritual and soul power. The use of any supernatural powers or spells is prohibited inside; only gambling skills and luck will suffice. The barrier will automatically dissipate upon exiting," the guard explained.

"Yes, that makes sense." Li Mu nodded again.

He was just thinking that if cultivators opened a casino, wouldn't it become a place for everyone to compete in supernatural powers and spells?

Now I understand, it turns out that entering a gambling den means having all supernatural powers and magic sealed away.

In this way, it will be impossible to cheat using supernatural powers or magic.

Therefore, the gambling dens in the cultivation world are basically the same as the casinos in the mortal world.

To win money, you can only rely on gambling skills and luck.

Li Mu didn't know any gambling skills; he could only rely on luck.

However, there is a problem now. If spiritual power and soul power are sealed, how can we get the luck that Ah Ying absorbed from her?

Without spiritual power and soul power, there's no way to use magical artifacts, and you might not even be able to communicate with the spirits of the artifacts.

"Master, there's no need to worry about that. His weak restriction can't seal my gathering ability, but it should seal my soul sense probing. Besides, I can automatically transfer the collected luck to you. You don't need to use your spiritual power to activate me." A-Ying immediately spoke in Li Mu's mind.

"Oh? This restriction can't seal your supernatural powers? Then there's no problem."

After hearing what A-Ying said, Li Mu was no longer worried.

So he and Zhang Yu walked into the barrier at the entrance. Sure enough, after entering the barrier, the spiritual power in his dantian and the soul power in his primordial soul were directly sealed.

Of course, the concept of sealing soul power in cultivation does not mean that soul power is completely stopped, but only that soul power is restricted to a mortal state, making it impossible to use any supernatural powers or spells.

If soul power completely stops, then a person will lose even the ability to think.

Upon entering the casino, it was found to be quite crowded and very lively.

Li Mu first took a quick look around and found that the gameplay here was indeed very similar to that of ancient casinos on Earth.

Although some specific details differ, the rules of the game are largely the same.

For example, you can roll dice to guess whether a number is big or small. The dice used here are different from those on Earth, but you are still guessing whether a number is big or small.

For example, the way the wheel is played here is basically the same as the roulette wheel game on Earth where you bet on points.

There are no poker or mahjong games like those on Earth here, but there is a game somewhat similar to Pai Gow.

Of course, there are also many ways to play here that don't exist on Earth.

Overall, all the games are very simple and easy to learn, and the rules are also simple and easy to understand.

Inside the gambling den, spirit stones are exchanged for chips, which are made of jade, each a square inch in size, with different denominations engraved on them.

Li Mu exchanged one million top-grade spirit stones for chips, and A Yu also exchanged one million top-grade spirit stones for chips.

Because the Three Saints Star has a high reserve of spirit stones, prices here are ridiculously high compared to Earth.

Therefore, the stakes in casinos are naturally much higher compared to those on Earth.

The minimum threshold for exchanging chips at this casino is 100,000 top-grade spirit stones. In other words, if you want to come in and play, you need to have at least 100,000 top-grade spirit stones on you.

One hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones is an enormous fortune in the cultivation world of Earth!

"Wow! Brother Mu, it's so lively in here! There are so many fun things to do! What do you think we should do first?"

After wandering around the casino, Zhang Yu seemed eager to try her hand at gambling.

After all, she was itching to win a lot of spirit stones from some people so quickly.

In fact, this is also a huge temptation within the casino.

Seeing others win big money in the blink of an eye, feeling excited and overjoyed, who wouldn't be envious?

Some casinos even hire people specifically to act as shills, creating the illusion of being overjoyed after winning money, just to lure and encourage players to gamble.

"Well, let's start with the simplest game, guessing the numbers."

Li Mu said.

"Okay, okay! Let's go! Brother Mu, which points zone should we choose?"

Zhang Yu quickly pulled Li Mu's arm and led him to the table where the point game was played.

Clearly, she had also basically figured out some of the rules of the game.
