But compared to Wang Ye, it was still far too lacking.

The match between Ji Ru Yu and Wang Ye ended in failure for Ji Ru Yu.

Mo Xu looked at Ji Ru Yu with a tinge of regret in his eyes.

In fact, as a Third Rank Sorcerer, Ji Ru Yu's level of observing rough stones had already reached the pinnacle among Third Rank Sorcerers. If he were to compete with any other Third Rank Sorcerer, Ji Ru Yu might not have been defeated.

But Ji Ru Yu faced Wang Ye.

Wang Ye, who had already found his path and was formally advancing from a Third Rank Sorcerer to a Second Rank Sorcerer.

Ji Ru Yu took a deep breath, stepped to Wang Ye's side, cupped his hands respectfully, and said with a solemn tone, "Friend Money Leopard, I lost this match."

"Next, during the meeting at the Sorcerer's Headquarters, I will honor our promise and help Lord Money Leopard secure three votes."

Ji Ru Yu knew, this would be difficult.

But so what?

Since he had promised, no matter how difficult it would be, he had to give it a try.

"Hmm."

Wang Ye's demeanor seemed rather unconcerned, as he lightly said to Ji Ru Yu, "You don't need to specially tell me. I only need to wait for the result during the meeting at the Sorcerer's Headquarters."

Ji Ru Yu was slightly stunned.

Soon, a word escaped from Ji Ru Yu's throat.

"Alright."

Ji Ru Yu, having lost to Wang Ye, didn't stay long. After exchanging a few words with Wang Ye and greeting the master of the Divine Stone Workshop and Mo Xu, he left directly.

The onlookers were just about to say something.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop signaled to the staff in the workshop with a glance.

The staff immediately understood the master's intention.

They approached the sorcerers who had gathered to watch, and said to them:

"At the beginning, in the competition between Wang Ye and Ji Shen, you all bet on Ji Shen. But since Ji Shen lost, you must hand over your wagered money."

In the Divine Stone Workshop,

it wasn't necessary to hand over property upfront.

The people only needed to place their bets.

This stemmed from the confidence of the Divine Stone Workshop.

Even if among these people, someone intended to maliciously default, the ability of the Divine Stone Workshop ensured they couldn't possibly succeed.

Hence, these onlooking sorcerers needed to pay up afterwards.

It would also leave a deeper impact on their minds.

These sorcerers, who were just about to discuss and reflect, upon hearing the statement from the staff of the Divine Stone Workshop, the smiles that graced their lips moments ago stiffened instantly.

They really forgot.

After all, today's competition between Wang Ye and the others was so thrilling, it made these onlooking sorcerers forget about these details during the excitement.

But it's alright.

Although these sorcerers forgot, the helpful staff at the Divine Stone Workshop certainly did not.

Instead of the discussion that should have been about the stone betting match between Wang Ye and Ji Ru Yu, suddenly there were howls of lamentation.

"Ah! If only I hadn't bet on Ji Shen! I've wagered all my money!"

"Right, I initially bet on Ji Shen because he was a Second Rank Sorcerer, so I really trusted him. Who would've thought that this worthless Ji Shen would lose to a Third Rank Sorcerer."

"I was somewhat thankful that even though I lost money at the Divine Stone Workshop, I quickly restrained myself and saved some. But now, it seems there's truly nothing left."

A few sorcerers were directly surrounded by the staff of the Divine Stone Workshop.

The reason was simple.

They had wagered more money than they had on them.

In the eyes of these sorcerers, they only needed to report their wagered amount. Once Ji Shen won, they could directly profit from the difference.

But they hadn't anticipated.

Ji Shen lost.

Wang Ye watched the scene, exchanged glances with Hui Hui beside him, smiles appearing on their faces.

Especially Hui Hui.

Wang Ye didn't really care about these people's discussions, but Hui Hui did.

Seeing those who were mocking Wang Ye moments ago now looking this way due to losing money, Hui Hui felt a great satisfaction inside.

And Wang Ye cast a glance towards the master of the Divine Stone Workshop.

Wang Ye understood that the master was having his staff collect money at this time just for him to see.

Wang Ye wouldn't fuss over these people.

The master didn't need Wang Ye to bother with them either.

It would be beneath him.

Given the circumstances.

Only letting Wang Ye watch these people in discomfort was enough.

Without losing status.

And it felt good.

...

Dragon Heart Pavilion.

Located halfway up Nine Dragon Mountain, with a trajectory resembling a giant dragon, Dragon Heart Pavilion was built precisely at its heart.

Not just a mere name.

But according to feng shui in the art of sorcery, the location of Dragon Heart Pavilion indeed had its significance.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop poured a cup of tea for Wang Ye, glanced at Mo Xu holding a cup, waiting expectantly, and said to Mo Xu:

"Friend Money Leopard is here for the first time, so I serve him tea. You've been here so many times, do you still expect me to serve you? Pour it yourself!"

Mo Xu pouted, while Wang Ye took the teapot from the master, filled Mo Xu's cup, and then poured one for the master.

Even though he was at the level of a First Grade Peak Cultivator, capable of easily defeating the two present, he was, after all, the junior and needed to serve tea to the two seniors.

Moreover.

This was Nine Dragon Mountain.

A place to discuss sorcerers.

Thus, sorcerers' accomplishments were prioritized.

On Hui Hui's side, the master extracted a jade bottle, dropping a single drop of water into Hui Hui's cup.

Only.

The drop of water turned into a cup of tea the moment it touched Hui Hui's cup.

Hui Hui, previously composed, suddenly widened her eyes, mouth agape watching the tea. She felt the scene was like magic, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Amazing, truly amazing!"
