Chapter 620 How to Fight in the Sect Competition
Li Xi looked at Jiang He in surprise:
"Were you the first female cultivator to throw herself entirely into the Xiaoyao Sect's pool that day?"
Li Xi realized he had let something slip and shouldn't have revealed a customer's privacy in public.
Li Xi secretly regretted it.
Jiang He didn't mind; she nodded gently.
"You have a good memory."
Li Xi didn't expect Jiang He to answer him. He smiled, realizing that this was no longer a matter of memory.
Anyone who has always had a smooth life will have their impression deepened if they suddenly guess the wrong outcome, not to mention that Li Xi was the only person in his career to give advice twice, and both times he was wrong.
The same thing happened during the university competition. It was only afterward that Li Xi learned that the person who came to the Venus Exchange specifically to bet on Wan Jue Academy was actually Jiang He, a freshman that year.
He watched the entire match where Jiang He led Wanjue Academy to a thrilling victory, and could only say that heaven is jealous of talent.
As for the second time, anyone would be shocked by the information Jiang He placed on the bet.
Jiang He's betting slip at the time was very clear:
"Long Aotian, the number one sword cultivator on the Heroic List of the Free and Unfettered Sect"
Second on the Sword Cultivator Heroes Ranking: Redwood of the Free and Unfettered Sect
Bai Zhizhou, ranked first on the Array Cultivation Heroes List
Number one on the Danxiu Elite Ranking...
......"
Li Xi remembered discussing it with a colleague who had left the company last month, and the two of them were shocked.
Unexpectedly, in this sect competition, the cultivator named Hongmu from the Xiaoyao Sect swept all six top spots.
Li Xi was puzzled as to why this cultivator had voted for Hongmu's name at the top of the other popular groups on the Heroes Ranking, but Long Aotian's name was the only one on the Sword Cultivator Ranking.
After watching the match, Li Xi was once again shocked. It turned out that the trade was so clever that it resulted in a draw between Hongmu and Long Aotian.
Therefore, Long Aotian is also at the top of the sword cultivator ranking.
Li Xi knew that the company had made a lot of money from the exchange this time. Because there was no shady dealing or manipulation in the Elite Ranking, many of the rankings could be predicted based on past experience.
What you can clearly see isn't gambling; everyone treats this transaction as an investment. Investing a little money guarantees a profit, sometimes with interest rates as high as 12%, much more than bank deposits.
In previous years, the company also made a profit, but not this much, so there were no bonuses or anything like that.
This year, the company, which is notoriously stingy, surprisingly gave them bonuses.
Li Xi predicted that the company would make a big profit from this year's pool of funds.
Countless gamblers have lost their wives and children, and their families have been destroyed.
While Li Xi sighed, he took a closer look at Jiang He's face.
These people from the Free and Unfettered Sect didn't follow the usual path, especially Jiang He, who placed the first bet and made a fortune.
Jiang He withdrew the money and left.
I just said last time that I was going to retire from the business.
I'll have to be more careful next time. This stuff makes money fast, but you have to rely on yourself.
After finishing with Jiang Hezhen this time, she decided to stop, forced by the necessities of life.
Jiang He removed the connector and arrived at the conference venue just in time.
The venue for the grand assembly after the Heroes Ranking was huge; Jiang He walked several hundred meters without encountering a single cultivator from the Free and Unfettered Sect.
The conference was held in the evening, and the venue was unlike the artificial star that had been set up inside the science and technology city.
However, many glowing stones were also suspended in mid-air.
Jiang He glanced up briefly before looking away.
This is neither an ordinary stone nor some high-tech product; it is a unique, everlasting stone found only in this secret realm.
Long-lasting stones are rare and non-renewable, mostly found underground. Thousands of years ago, the cultivators who discovered long-lasting stones immediately mined up all the available mines within the empire and then sold them at high prices.
Everlasting stones are often used for lighting in the Ginza sect or for powerful beings to construct secret realms.
One of them is worth a lot of money.
With tens of thousands of Changming Stones floating densely overhead, Jiang He couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be rich."
They were so extravagant that they could place a long-lasting stone, similar to Earth's gold, directly above the venue.
Hengxing Technology is truly impressive.
Jiang He's gaze always lingered upwards.
After causing a scene and being publicly humiliated by Jiang He, Qiongmo toned down his behavior. During the meeting, neither the Xiaoyao Sect nor Jiang He saw any Lingyun Sect members causing any trouble.
But.
Upon hearing about tomorrow's sect competition, Jiang He's gaze immediately drifted towards the location of the four major sects.
It is certain that the Lingyun Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect are in conflict.
Even if there are reasonable cultivators in Lingyun Sect, most of them have formed grudges with them. In addition, if Lingyun Sect wants to win first place, they will definitely have to step over their dead bodies to get there.
As for who stepped on whose corpse, it's hard to say.
Jiang He had always wanted to be the one to trample, but she didn't know if there were any cultivators in the Grand Competition who pretended to be weak while actually being strong, just like in the Academy Grand Competition.
Therefore, we still need to be careful.
The four major sects are all fiercely independent and there is no concept of forming alliances among them. This could be a breakthrough for Jiang He.
After all, the Lingyun Sect had always looked down on their sect, which suited Jiang He's plan.
Lingyun Sect has established a strong reputation among sects and likes to join forces with smaller sects to launch a preemptive attack on a particular sect, or to begin by eliminating smaller sects.
In previous sect competitions, whenever a point-based system was adopted, Lingyun Sect often saw the fastest increase in points.
Blood Alliance disdains forming groups, and almost every commander adheres to strict principles.
The commander considers all aspects of the situation and has a broad perspective.
The Hehuan Sect is like a weather vane, refusing to side with whoever benefits them most.
They will always stand on the weaker side, implementing their alliance strategy to near perfection.
The last of the four major sects to be analyzed is the Divine Sect.
The cultivators of the Divine Cult prefer to be alone; even members of the same sect often travel alone.
Of course, the Divine Cult also has small groups. What makes it special from other sects is that these small groups are like two independent entities. Unless a general leader gives the order, they often act separately. Many times, the cultivators of the Divine Cult do not look like a unified whole.
Of all these, the sect that the Free and Unfettered Sect should be most wary of is the Divine Sect.
Regardless of the complex internal power dynamics within the cult, just that person alone...
Jiang He thought of Pei Ci.
He is the Son of God; his identity as commander has been confirmed.
Whether he has a light spiritual root or is a demonic cultivator, it's a bit of a dilemma.
Jiang He raised her wine glass, just enough to cover her face.
The red liquid in the glass sloshed and shimmered.
She raised her glass and swallowed the liquid, her eyes constantly scanning the monks in the arena through the glass.
Just like the university competition, she was memorizing.
Every cultivator's magical artifacts, their walking movements, their standing postures...
In summary, they are all unique individuals.
Amidst the clinking of glasses and lively conversation at the conference, Jiang He sipped her freshly replaced mulberry juice.
"The Free and Unfettered Sect has really been making headlines these past few days."
A monk moved with light, graceful steps, yet the liquid in his wine glass remained perfectly still.
She swayed as she approached Jiang He, her voice low, so that only Jiang He could hear it.
Jiang He was familiar with the visitor; he had seen him several times, the first time being six years ago…
