A rather large number floated on the formation screen above them. novelbuddy.com

"Still… Sixty thousand… Over Sixty Thousand High Grade immortal stones!" Ming Dandan exclaimed unable to hold back.

No one had expected the number to reach such a terrifying level.

According to the calculations that Lin Mu and the rest had done, their earnings should have at most hit thirty thousand or less. But now, it had gone beyond that greatly.

It was a number that most immortals wouldn't be able to earn in their lifespan. A majority would die out before even earning half that amount. And yet, they had made that much in the span of a single round.

Of course, while this amount was going to be divided into six among them, it was still a significant amount. And not to mention, this was just the first bet that they had made.

There were still more rounds to go and a lot more to earn.

Plus with the amount they had gotten now, if they reinvested it into a bet again, the amount they would earn would increase again!

"We should distribute it according to our original ratio." Lin Mu spoke, breaking the silence.

"Are you sure Brother Mu Lin?" Ming Aolian said with concern.

"Yeah, won't it be unfair to you?" Lu Xu asked.

"Brother Mu Lin did affect our odds the most. We wouldn't have made this much without you." Qian Wen chimed in.

"It's fine." Lin Mu shook his head. "I'll just take fifty percent of this." He said firmly.

"Brother Mu Lin is truly generous." Ming Dandan almost had stars in her eyes.

With thirty thousand high grade immortal stones divided five ways, the amount was still pretty high. Six thousand high grade immortal stones were good enough to buy a lot of cultivation resources and one could even buy strong immortal weapons and tools.

In fact, they could even commission Immortal tool refiners to make them a custom weapons if need be.

"Well then, let's split it." Luo Liqin said after seeing that everyone had come to a conclusion.

Originally they were supposed to deduct what Lin Mu had spent on them in the form of pills and other resources, but that amount turned out to be negligible after seeing the massive profit. This was also why Lin Mu simply ignored it and let it be split as decided before.

"Honored guests, may we come in?" With the Immortal stones divided, the food also arrived.

"Yes," Lin Mu called out.

The door slid open and the servants walked in with tens of food platters. There were nearly a hundred dishes in total with more to arrive.

"This… is a lot for us." Lu Xu said after seeing it.

"Yeah, we won't be able to finish it." Ming Aolian said feeling intimidated.

"You guys eat as much as you want, don't worry about the rest." Lin Mu spoke.

"Are you sure?" Ming Dandan replied.

"Yeah." Lin Mu said. "I'll add another mouth to help in eating." He spoke before a figure materialized beside him.

~Mew~

Little Shrubby let out a cry as he looked at the feast in front of him.

"Ah, Little Shrubby's here too." Ming Aolian's eyes glowed as she watched the kitten.

"Sure, let him eat too!" Ming Dandan was happy seeing the cute beast.

"Well then, lets eat!" Lin Mu stated.

They all started eating and didn't even realize that the dishes were being gobbled up by the minute.

By the time the five had finished eating a single dish each, Lin Mu and little Shrubby had finished about thirty!

"Huh?" Luo Liqin looked at Lin Mu's side of the table and found it to be barren.

His eyes couldn't help but wander over to the man and beast who were eating similarly. Lin Mu's mouth moved like a blur and chomped on food nonstop.

The kitten did the same and was finishing food the size of his body every minute. One could only imagine where all that mass was going as it seemed unnatural.

To the two, it didn't matter whether the food was tough or not. Hard bones were crushed and swallowed and soft tofu was slurped up.

While they had seen Lin Mu eat at the Banquet before, it seemed like he was still a bit reserved back there.

'Is this was a true body cultivator eats like?' Luo Liqin couldn't help but wonder.

He knew that body cultivators often consumed more food than Qi refining immortals, but Lin Mu seemed to be higher than them.

'Even Ting can't eat this much…' Ming Aolian thought to herself.

Ming Dandan on the other hand was trying to estimate the cost of the food that Lin Mu had consumed within minutes. She was only done counting halfway done when her head started to heat up.

'So many immortal stones gone… and it hasn't even been an hour…' Ming Dandan felt her head getting woozy. 'This'll give me a Qi deviation at this rate…' She simply decided to stop counting, as it was too much for her.

Even if she had obtained a large number of the High Grade Immortal stones, the way Lin Mu was consuming them simply felt unreal.

Little Shrubby sprawled on the ground, after having had his fill. The beast hadn't eaten food like this for a few weeks now and was pleased.

Lin Mu was also happy with the meal and could feel his condition returning to the peak. After all, he had expended quite a bit of immortal Qi in the round.

"That was a good meal." Lin Mu said as he put away the final plate.

"I-indeed…" Lu Xu didn't know what to say.

The rest became silent for a bit before Luo Liqin spoke.

"I… better head to the betting pavilion again. They will be updating the odds later. I'll keep you all informed." Luo Liqin informed.

"Ah yeah, that's good." Lin Mu nodded his head. "Tell us when the odds are ready so we can decided on the amount to bet."

In the coming rounds, there would be several different contestant fighting, thus they would need to adjust their bets accordingly. Plus there was still a week's time, thus there was a chance that the odds would continue to fluctuate a bit.

"Sure, I'll be prompt." Luo Liqin said before taking his leave.

"We should go too. I need to talk to master." Ming Aolian spoke.

"Yeah, we should tell her of our progress." Ming Dandan nodded her head.

"I'll go look around the city. See what's happening concerning the delay in the tournament." Lu Xu stated.

"Hmm yeah…" Lin Mu said. "Also look for information about diviners, will you?" he added.

"Diviners?" Lu Xu was confused but nodded his head nonetheless. "I'll try… though it might be a bit risky." He added.

"Nothing too severe. Just keep an eye out for any diviners that have arrived or left the Rust Sky world." Lin Mu replied.

Even if he knew that the temple would be investigating it all too, Lin Mu reckoned it was best to have multiple sources.

"Sure, I'll try." Lu Xu agreed.

"Do you want me to ask around too? I might be able to get some information from the army side." Qian Wen offered.

"If you can, then it's good." Lin Mu didn't put any pressure on them.

With the tasks divided, they were all ready to leave.

"What will you be doing, Brother Mu Lin?" Ming Aolian felt curious.

"Will you be cultivating?" Ming Dandan asked.

"Perhaps… though I also have a few people to meet." Lin Mu replied vaguely. "We don't have that long to cultivate anyways."

"Ah yes. Good luck to you anyways." The Ming sisters said before taking a leave.

Lu Xu and Qian Wen left as well, while Lin Mu paid off the bill downstairs.

The servants were quite pleased and bid him farewell with wide smiles. They couldn't help but want Lin Mu to visit everyday.

"Are we going back to the courtyard?" Little Shrubby asked while sitting on Lin Mu's shoulder.

"Not yet." Lin Mu denied it.

"Where then?" the beast asked.

"We'll go meet the crown prince first… If there's anyone that'll know more it'll be him." Lin Mu said.

"Did something happen?" Little Shrubby was unaware of the things that had happened since he was in the Sleepscape all this time.

Lin Mu quickly gave him a rundown of the events which Little Shrubby understood rather quickly.

"We'll go meet him then. The red lady also gives good snacks. I wanna see her again." Little Shrubby replied.

"The red lady?" Lin Mu raised his brows. "Ah, you mean the Crown princess."

"Yep, her!" Little Shrubby nodded his head.

"I don't know if she'll be there, but I guess we can see…" Lin Mu said as he started to walk towards the Palace grounds.

The distance was decent and it would take them an hour to reach there. But when they did get there, Lin Mu saw a rather large crowd waiting outside.

"What's going on here now…"
