At this very moment, the instant Lu Yang emerged from his secluded cultivation grounds and came face-to-face with Immortal Lord Qing Yang, cultivators on the sixth layer and below had already gone mad.
The exchange rate, which had originally soared to 854, suddenly began to plummet.
844, 830, 800, 750... More and more people began selling the Carefree Talismans in their hands, though there were also those whose eyes had gone red and chose to hold on desperately.
"The fight hasn't even started yet."
"Even a Heretical True Lord might not necessarily lose to an orthodox Immortal Lord. As long as he can hold on and force a draw, the price of the Carefree Talisman will rise again!"
"Hold the line!"
"As long as True Lord Minghe can win, everything will be fine."
"Trust me. The Carefree Talisman's price drop isn't a crisis—it's a perfect window to buy the dip. As long as we seize it and buy in heavily now, once True Lord Minghe wins, even if he merely doesn't lose, the Carefree Talisman will immediately soar, and our assets will multiply several times over!"
For a time, countless gazes converged.
Throughout the Celestial Court, cultivators from the first to sixth layers stared wide-eyed at Lu Yang and Immortal Lord Qing Yang. The Images born from this nearly covered the heavens.

Not only had he recouped all the losses from the Flame-Treading Immortal Talisman and Lesser Yin Immortal Talisman in one stroke, he had also pushed his savings to an outrageous figure.
