Of course, none of this is important. What is important is that he was once Zhang Sanfeng's sword boy, holding the true martial sword for Zhang Sanfeng that wiped out the demons and suppressed the world.

No one would think that Zhang Sanfeng’s sword-holding Taoist was a simple person.

The battle between Zhang Sanfeng and Sandu on Wudang Mountain that day has been rumored to be magical. This old Taoist priest is now no different from a god in the hearts of warriors all over the world.

"How can Taoist Mu have the leisure to watch the duel between Lord Ye City and Lord Ximen?!"

The person who spoke was Yan Yu, the wind-chasing swordsman of the Qingcheng sect.

Mu Taoren smiled and said, "Old Taoist priest, he has no great achievements in martial arts, but his swordsmanship is quite passable. The showdown between Lord Yecheng and Lord Ximen is also extremely rare in the world. Looking back, only the swordsmanship is passable.

The battle of Dongting Lake between Master Mo and Hero Lang is about to begin, how can we, the swordsmen, miss it?!"

Twenty-three years ago, the sword fight between Lang Fanyun and Mo Guanlan in Dongting Lake is still remembered by the older generation of masters.

Today's duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue is as grand as it was back then.

"Is the market open yet!?"

Amidst everyone's pleasantries, there were still people who kept urging Tianji Building to open.

"Okay! Today, Tianji Tower will be the dealer. The betting method is also very simple. Just bet on the outcome of the duel between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng. The things to bet on include but are not limited to gold and silver, magic weapons, medicinal materials, antiques, and secret books.

, calligraphy and painting... We at Tianjilou will have a dedicated person evaluate it to ensure the reasonableness of the price."

"If you win, the amount of silver you can win will be the base amount, and you can exchange it with Tianji Tower for the needed antiques, calligraphy and paintings, secret books, etc."

Then Deacon Chen, who was in charge of handicapping, opened the gambling table that was covered with black cloth in the middle. The top of the gambling table was half red and half blue.

"The heroes who beat Ximen Chuixue can place bets on the red table; the heroes who beat Ye Gucheng can place bets on the blue table."

The impatient Sea Whale leader from before immediately took out a stack of paper.

"I have one hundred and twenty sea-going ships under the Sea Whale Gang. I'll go all-in on Ximen Chuixue to win! I'd also like to trouble Deacon Chen to give me an estimate of the price of these sea-going ships!"

These boats of the Sea Whale Gang are not small fishing boats running on the river, but large sea-going ships, and each one is worth a lot of money.

Under the instructions of Deacon Chen, a shopkeeper of Tianji Tower took the ship deed from the hands of the Sea Whale Gang leader, and then started counting.

"There are eighty large ships and forty large sailing ships. The price of a ship is 6,000 taels, and the price of a sailboat is 4,500 taels. The total price is 660,000 silver. Is the Sea Whale Gang leader satisfied with this price?!

"

The leader of the Huanjing Gang nodded. Relatively speaking, this price is already very fair. If you go to a bank to mortgage it, you may only get half of the 660,000 taels.

"Okay! Tianjilou is generous, and I, Lao Xie, am not a stingy person, so I will pay this price!"

"And me! I'll beat a Ganoderma lucidum plant that's four hundred years old! I'll beat Ximen Chuixue to win!"

"I will produce a painting by Wu Daozi, and I will win over Ye Gucheng!"

"If you have a piece of porcelain from Ru Kiln, I will win over Ximen Chuixue."

…

As the leader of the Sea Whale Gang set the pace, more and more people began to place bets.

Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are both people who are loyal to the sword, and neither of them is short of money. They will not use water for some small money.

And judging from the experience of the two fighting against others, the loser will die under their sword, if they are really waterproofing for the sake of making money.

That's really a life to make money, but no life to spend!

Deacon Chen looked at this scene with a calm expression on his face, and he was already happy in his heart.

It looks like Tianji Tower can make a lot of money from this decisive battle.

Of course, the profits from this are not something that the Tianjilou family can absorb. Behind the banker of this gambling game is the Tiandi Bank.

This is a bank exclusively owned by the Da Zhou royal family, and today the Holy Emperor is one of the largest individual shareholders of the Da Zhou Tiandi Bank.

With the emperor's endorsement, Tiandi Bank's credibility is unmatched by other banks.

The biggest profiteer in this gambling game is naturally Tiandi Bank, and no one else can control the situation.

But even if Tianji Tower can only get 20% of the profit, it is enough for them to make a profit.

And their profit is not only from this, but also from inns and restaurants.

In Dazhou, there are two largest chain catering service groups, one is Wudang Group Co., Ltd. and the other is Tianjilou Group Co., Ltd.

The catering and accommodation industries brought about by this duel have greatly increased the input of Tianji Tower. These martial arts people are basically generous. As of now, Tianji Tower's income is no less than two hundred thousand taels.

This amount alone is enough for Tianji Tower to earn.

Although the current Tianji Tower is neutral in the world, it is actually an organization that cooperates closely with the Zhou royal family.

Just as everyone was counting chips and placing bets, a voice came from downstairs.

"I bet 800,000 taels on Ye Gucheng to win."

Everyone suddenly smelled a strange fragrance of flowers, and then saw six girls with black hair hanging down their shoulders and clothes as white as snow, carrying baskets full of yellow chrysanthemums, spreading them all the way up the building, and spreading the bright chrysanthemums on the stairs.

Got a piece of tapestry.
