Chapter 1801: I have a surefire move

“Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated?” The corners of Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s mouth twitched.
This pillar of light zigzagged, and landed on Copper Trigram. Even a blind person would be able to tell that there was something wrong with this situation. Clearly, Loose Immortal Xiaoyao was manipulating the Wealth Distribution from behind the scenes.
Face or treasure?
Hmm…
Face was a very important thing, but when the time came to abandon it, you could just temporarily do so, and try regaining it in the future, couldn’t you?
“Actually, since the very beginning, Senior Xiaoyao reminded us that he liked the number 6.” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber handsomely stroked his long hair. “Wasn’t he practically telling us to shout 666 for him? It’s just a single line, so what are you all waiting for?”
Thrice Reckless was ready to frantically shout 666 for Senior Xiaoyao.
“There’s no need to hurry,” Soft Feather said softly. “That senior also said that there are four different types of prizes. Since that’s the case, then we should wait for the first- and second-grade prizes.”
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said, “What if you’re lucky and manage to win the first- or second-grade prizes after the fourth-grade prizes?”
Soft Feather shook her head. “From what happened to Senior Copper Trigram, we can see that although it is a random, lottery-type selection… Senior Xiaoyao can influence the results from behind the scenes. I think that unless the manner in which you shout ‘666’ is just too good, the chances of you winning first- or second-grade prizes after having won fourth-grade prizes is too low.”
Soft Feather was simply too witty.
Anyway, she was right. Although it was a random, lottery-type selection, that did not stop it from being affected by actions behind the scenes.
Soft Feather said, “Although there’s a large number of treasures on the first three floors, they aren’t that valuable to us. At most, they could be used to fill up a treasure trove. Perhaps those seniors who have sects or forces to take care of can give it a try.”
After all, with how many members there were in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, they couldn’t all get the first- or second-grade prizes. Moreover, even if all of them did try to go for the first- or second-grade prizes, they might still all end up with nothing.
“Shouting six six six, huh?” Song Shuhang pinched his chin.
He kept on feeling like this lottery was tailor-made for him. In the entire universe, if one were to discuss styles of shouting 666, he should land somewhere among the top 10.
After all, he had a surefire move at hand.
So according to Soft Feather’s assumptions, he should wait and fight for the first-grade prize.
The fourth-grade prize would have the treasures from the first to the third floor split equally among six people. As such, the following three prizes could only be better, right?
At this moment, a loud roar came from somewhere nearby. “Six six six, Senior’s gesture of distributing wealth is truly exquisite!”
It wasn’t a member of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, but rather a Sixth Stage mage wearing mage robes. He should have immediately realized what had happened after hearing Immortal Master Copper Trigram shout, and followed quickly.
However, when he finished shouting, no pillar of light settled on him.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said, “Eh? Nothing happened?”
“Perhaps it will only work once every time. After all, since there are only six pillars of light, they can’t all be controlled from behind the scenes. Among the six pillars, it’s likely that only one or two can be affected,” Immortal Master Copper Trigram guessed. “When it’s time for the third-grade prize, make sure to be the first one to shout, and make sure to shout something good. I have a feeling that using the same lines won’t make Senior Xiaoyao happy.”
While he was speaking, the six pillars of light had all come to a stop.
A pillar of light had moved over, and enveloped Venerable Yellow Mountain.
“Eh?” Venerable Yellow Mountain was stunned.
He didn’t shout six six six, as he had to maintain the dignity of a ‘senior’. Moreover, he rather disdained the treasures on the first three floors.
Unexpectedly, he, who had no desire for the fourth-grade prize, won it.
Song Shuhang said, “With this, two people in our group won the fourth-grade prize. Senior Yellow Mountain, Senior Copper Trigram, you have to give us some gifts after you go out.”
Venerable Yellow Mountain smiled. “When we meet up for the banquet that little friend Shuhang has arranged for us, I’ll definitely give everyone a gift.”
A voice suddenly sounded. “Mama Yellow Mountain is the best.”
Everyone involuntarily turned to look at Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang hurried to wave his hand. “It’s not me, it wasn’t me. I didn’t say it!”
Everyone turned around, but they couldn’t find who had said ‘Mama Yellow Mountain’.
Venerable Yellow Mountain felt so tired.
Besides the two members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, two of the remaining four pillars of light enveloped Celestials—in the Throne of Wealth Distribution, the Celestials made up over half of the total number of guests.
As for the last two pillars of light, one settled on a Fourth Stage loose cultivator. When the time came, if this Fourth Stage cultivator was able to smoothly take away all of the treasures meant for him, he would become a rich man among his peers. At the very least, he would have no need to worry about cultivation resources before the Fifth Stage.
The last pillar of light fell on a middle-aged man covered in armor, a Holy Knight.
After the lottery was completed, each of the six pillars of light turned into a token, which then fell into the hands of the winners.
At the same time, on the first three floors, the treasures that were not picked up were evenly divided into six portions, disappearing.
Loose Immortal Xiaoyao’s voice resounded in everyone’s ears once again. [The draw for the fourth-grade prize is complete. Congratulations to the six winners. With the token in your hands, you can take your rewards at any time and from anywhere. In addition, you need not worry about the tokens being snatched from you as they are bound to you.]
The Fourth Stage loose cultivator tremblingly grabbed the token. After looking around, he immediately rushed out of the Throne of Wealth Distribution.
As soon as he left the throne, he took out his flying sword, and escaped at the fastest speed.
Song Shuhang noticed that when the Fourth Stage loose cultivator left, there were several figures that followed him outside the Throne of Wealth Distribution.
Su Clan’s Seven said slowly, “Great wealth always attracts greedy people.”
Fairy Lychee said, “I hope this fellow daoist does not end up meeting with mishap.”
Instantly, many loose cultivators felt somewhat uneasy. If they were to obtain the first- or second-grade prizes, how were they supposed to protect their fortune?
After thinking about it, the most suitable method seemed to be asking a noble and respectable senior to protect them, and then share the fortune equally with that senior…
Immediately, many loose cultivators turned their attention to Song Shuhang and the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Tyrannical Song was suspected to be a Tribulation Transcender, and had a group of Eighth Stage Ancient Sages with him. If one was to be asked who was the strongest among those present, the answer should be Senior Tyrannical Song’s group, right?
They only wondered whether Senior Tyrannical Song was easy to talk to.
Although these loose cultivators were afraid of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, they still had a favorable opinion of him.
First, Tyrannical Song appeared on TV once a month, so they were familiar with him. As long as one wasn’t familiar with someone due to extremely negative news, their impression of this person would be better than that of strangers.
Second, Tyrannical Song gave the impression that he was on the side of good, and from his appearance, he looked to be someone who was reliable.
Third, maybe, just maybe, Tyrannical Song would protect them because they had been impregnated by him?
At this moment, Loose Immortal Xiaoyao’s voice sounded again. [Please, don’t worry. All the fellow daoists who receive the token will be protected for a certain period of time. Those who try to snatch the reward token because of greed will get their dues.]
This service was top-notch. After winning the lottery, they would get protected for a time, and the evildoers would even get punished!
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said, “A person like Senior Xiaoyao is one I’d definitely make friends with!”
Immortal Master Copper Trigram tossed the token in his hand. “Why do I keep on getting the feeling that Senior Xiaoyao’s character is somewhat similar to Senior Yellow Mountain’s?”
It wasn’t due to his hobby of distributing his wealth, but rather due to certain details, such as Senior Xiaoyao being very thoughtful—just like a mother, he was very meticulous.
Loose Immortal Xiaoyao’s words made all the loose cultivators that were participating in the Wealth Distribution feel at ease.
❄️❄️❄️
Loose Immortal Xiaoyao’s voice sounded again. [Then let us move on to the next round. There will be three winners for the third-grade prize. The prize this time will be the treasures from the fourth to the fifth floor. Are you ready?]
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber waved his hand, transformed into a monkey, and said loudly, “Senior, we were born ready. Can I be your friend, Senior? Your gesture of distributing your wealth is truly amazing. Are you still lacking any accessories on your thighs, such as a cute monkey?”
[Thanks.] Loose Immortal Xiaoyao actually replied to Thrice Reckless Mad Saber.
Then, three pillars of light appeared.
After the three pillars of light went around in a circle, one of them quietly landed on Thrice Reckless Mad Saber.
The members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were speechless
It seemed that Thrice Reckless’s flattery just now happened to capture Loose Immortal Xiaoyao’s heart.
Was this senior who loved distributing his wealth a bit out of touch with the times? So much such that he would even take a fancy to Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’s low-level flattery?
