Hearing the three words "Divine Beating Whip," Zhao Gongming was slightly stunned, and the anger on his face disappeared immediately.

He seemed to lose all his strength in an instant, the Golden Whip in his hand fell to the ground with a "ding" sound, and then turned into specks of gold light and disappeared into the air.

"Forget it, I'm not playing anymore, it's really not interesting."

Zhao Gongming, holding the wine pot, got up from the gambling table, pouring wine into his mouth while staggering towards the outside.

"God of Wealth, please wait!"

The manager called out from behind, and said in a deep voice: "You haven't paid for your wine yet. During these days in the gambling house, you've drunk the finest Immortal Drunk, each pot costing hundreds of Tianjin, and you've drunk seven pots, that's seven hundred Tianjin in total. Do you want to pay now, or..."

Zhao Gongming turned his head and looked at the manager, his face showing no change in emotion.

He stared at the manager for quite some time before asking, "Did your master tell you to say this?"

"That's not the case."

The manager smiled and said, "It's just that Immortal Drunk is very expensive, and I dare not make the decision myself. If it is inconvenient for you, please leave a promissory note, so I can explain properly, right?"

Zhao Gongming squinted his eyes, "What kind of promissory note do you want me to leave?"

"Let me think..." The manager pondered for a moment, clapped his hands, "Got it! Just write 'Outer disciple of Jie Sect owes Joyful Heaven Gambling House seven hundred Tianjin'. How about this?"

At this moment, the commotion here attracted the attention of many gamblers around, who gradually gathered, pointing and whispering, seemingly eager to witness the moment of humiliation of the once high-ranking outer sect elder brother of Jie Sect.

"Tsks..." Tianpeng smacked his lips, couldn't help but lament, "Who would have thought Zhao Gongming could have such a downfall of being humiliated when out of power... It seems that Divine Beating Whip is indeed terrifying!"

Yu Yuan had personally held the Divine Beating Whip before, so he knew what he meant.

The Divine Beating Whip as a Spiritual Treasure was rather ordinary in power, but if targeted at the gods of the Investiture of the Gods, no matter how advanced your Dao Xing Realm was, it would strike without fail.

Moreover, after the Divine Enthronement, if a deity listed on the Investiture of the Gods violated the heavenly decree or disrespected commands and misused force, the Divine Beating Whip would automatically strike down, and no matter how high the Dao Xing of the person being hit, there would be no resistance!

Although it was just a matter of lifting a hand for Zhao Gongming to deal with the insolent manager, the moment he dared to take action, the Divine Beating Whip would immediately strike.

Being publicly humiliated, not to mention, he would have to recover for several days before he could come out to drink again.

That's why he chose to endure.

After all, invoking the Divine Beating Whip because of a minion manipulated by others is truly a foolish act.

He knew this manager was deliberately trying to make him lose face.

If it was just his own reputation, Zhao Gongming would not have cared much, but now it involved Jie Sect, and that made things different.

Just as he was about to take the risk of being punished by the Divine Beating Whip to crush the manager, a dignified and imposing young Daoist emerged from the crowd, calmly said: "I will pay for the wine."

The manager frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Primordial One Qi Immortal, Yu Yuan!"

Yu Yuan naturally announced his title.

Everyone present looked at each other.

They had never heard of this person, where did he come from?

Seeing this scene, Tianpeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems it wasn't just me being ignorant, it's true that this Primordial One Qi Immortal isn't well-known.

Seeing that the manager was facing an unknown person, he somewhat relaxed.

He looked at Yu Yuan and asked sternly, "That's seven hundred Tianjin, can you afford that?"

Yu Yuan shook his head, "Not right now."

Then he took a small step back, reached out his hand with a light gesture, and picked up a shiny Incense Bronze from the ground, smiling, "But it looks like I'll be able to afford it soon."

The manager was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what he meant, chuckled and said, "Don't tell me you plan to win seven hundred Tianjin in this gambling house with this Incense Bronze?"

Yu Yuan also smiled, "Seven hundred Tianjin isn't enough, unless your gambling house dares not to gamble with me."

The manager's face cooled down, "Please suit yourself, I don't have time to play around with you."

Yu Yuan didn't argue but walked directly to the nearby gambling table.

Gambling, after all, is about bluffing, chance, capital, and technique.

It clearly wasn't possible to cheat now, although with his divine skills he could get any card he wanted, but since the gambling house dared to do business, they naturally had preparations for this aspect.

At least, as soon as Yu Yuan entered, he sensed that the gambling house was densely inscribed with numerous prohibitive arrays.

Clearly, a great formation specially laid down by an Array Dao expert.

Without the possibility of cheating, to win money, one had to rely on luck, capital, and technique.

Although Yu Yuan only had one Incense Bronze as capital and virtually no technique, he had luck!

He confidently took the Incense Bronze he had picked up and approached the gambling table.

Many gamblers gathered around as if watching a lively show.

Yu Yuan didn't mind at all.

He trusted his intuition and luck, and directly chose the simplest gamble—guessing big or small.

This kind of gamble had simple rules, and the winnings were not huge, but most importantly, each round was very quick!

With a loud "Final bets, no more bets," Yu Yuan casually tossed his Incense Bronze.

Unsurprisingly, his Incense Bronze doubled.

Then he placed all of his Incense Bronze into the next bet.

Moments later, his Incense Bronze had quadrupled.

He continuously placed bet after bet...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, ten rounds had elapsed, with Yu Yuan winning every time with precise predictions and lucky hands.

The other gamblers at the table were already dumbfounded.

Even Zhao Gongming's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.

Initially, he had thought that this young Daoist was arranged by the owner of Joyful Heaven to embarrass him, but it turned out that the reality seemed a bit different than what he expected.

Yu Yuan's luck seemed unstoppable, and after winning another five rounds, he had more than a hundred ingots of Heavenly Gold before him, despite having exchanged his Incense Bronze for Heavenly Gold.

At this rate, winning two more rounds would nearly be enough to gather the seven hundred ingots of Heavenly Gold needed for the wine money.

However, the dealer at the gambling table was already sweating profusely and dared not continue rolling the dice.

After Yu Yuan's consecutive wins, the surrounding gamblers started placing their bets following him.

Driven by Yu Yuan, the stakes at the entire table rapidly increased, and even though the dealer tried some tricks undercover, it still didn't change the outcome of losing heavily.

As Yu Yuan's winning streak continued, gamblers who followed his bets also made a fortune.

Seeing Yu Yuan win fifteen rounds in one breath, the manager's face darkened.

He understood that if Yu Yuan continued to gamble, the gambling house might suffer huge losses. He quickly approached, trying to stop the ongoing gambling.

However, the surrounding gamblers had already had a taste of sweetness and naturally didn't wish to stop.

For a moment, the gambling house was filled with sneers and mocking words.

"Manager, your gambling house can only win but not lose?"

"You open your doors for business, how can you prevent gambling?"

"Are there still any rules left?"

"Is your gambling house not able to afford the loss?"

...

The overwhelming mockery lingered in the hall of the gambling house, leaving the manager helpless; he had to notify the behind-the-scenes owner of Joyful Heaven while saying sternly, "It's not that we don't allow you all to continue gambling, it's just that my subordinates are overwhelmed by the grand scene and can't shake the dice cup properly. Why don't I join you for a couple of rounds?"

"It's all the same to me."

Yu Yuan smiled and said, "I've always been very lucky."

The manager eyed the pile of bets on the table, growing nervous inside.

He knew well that if he lost, the gambling house would suffer tremendous damages.

Nevertheless, open for business, he couldn't refuse such gambling.

Doing so would result in even greater losses.

The manager picked up the dice cup, held it tightly in his hand, and shook it vigorously.

Under all the watchful eyes, the manager's hand trembled slightly, and the dice inside the specially-made dice cup collided and rolled, yet no sound came out.

Finally, the dice cup landed on the table with a "bang," and the manager stared at Yu Yuan and declared: "Dice are cast, final bets!"

Yu Yuan didn't hesitate at all, placing all his Heavenly Gold on "big."

The surrounding gamblers also followed his bets.

The manager's heart immediately sank, knowing the outcome of the dice in the dice cup.

"Open! Open! Open..."

A crowd of gamblers clamored loudly.

Sweat beaded on the manager's forehead as he rapidly calculated the total amount of bets on the table.

He had a way to alter the size of the dice inside the dice cup—if the amount of the current bet exceeded a certain limit, he would risk the gambling house's reputation to win this round!

In the end, he chose to open the dice cup directly.

Immediately, an earth-shaking cheer erupted.

The gamblers went wild, looking at Yu Yuan with eyes full of excitement and anticipation. They wanted to continue betting, to keep on winning fiercely!

Just then, a deep voice sounded.

"Very good, my Joyful Heaven hasn't been this lively in a long time."
