Disciple of the Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer

"After hearing your words today, Family Head, I, Chang Lao Si, realize that I've lived in vain. No wonder people say comparisons are odious; compared to someone like you, Family Head, I, Chang Lao Si, have truly wasted half my life. My whole life, I, Chang Lao Si, have lived by gambling. To follow my master and learn gambling skills, I broke off two of my own fingers as an apprenticeship gift when I was eight years old, but I've never regretted it because I'm obsessed with this line of work. My master told me that the path of gambling is endless, but unfortunately, I, Chang Lao Si, have never been able to comprehend it."

"My master said that gambling isn't just about winning or losing; it's a very sacred thing, a career worth striving for our entire lives. But I've been working hard, even to the point of making Chang Le Gambling House one of the three major gambling houses in Jade Capital City, but I still can't change anything, let alone reach that level. After hearing Family Head Ren's words today, Chang Lao Si has no regrets in this life. If Family Head Ren didn't have this status and position, I, Chang Lao Si, would be willing to shorten my life by thirty years, leaving only twenty years of life, to become your disciple and learn from you."

"It's just that Family Head's identity is special, and Chang Lao Si doesn't dare to aim too high. I only ask to follow you and work diligently to create the glory of this gambling industry. As long as I can see this glory in my lifetime, I, Chang Lao Si, will not have lived this life in vain." As Chang Lao Si spoke, he respectfully knelt down and performed a grand salute, instead begging Ren Jie.

At this moment, for Chang Lao Si, nothing else mattered.

Damn! Fatty Gao Ren's eyes were spinning as he watched. This works?

But thinking about it, if there really was someone in alchemy who could amaze him so much, someone who showed him a future he could hardly imagine, he would follow them at all costs.

Gao Ren was also obsessed with alchemy. In the future, he wanted to become the most powerful Spirit Alchemist, even surpassing the legendary top Spirit Alchemist.

So at this moment, he could understand Chang Lao Si's actions, but looking at Ren Jie, he felt very strange, too damn strange.

For so long, how did he not know that he had so much in his head? He used to be taken advantage of by many people, and it was only with his help that he won a few times. He had never won before.

And for Chang Lao Si, who was obsessed with gambling, it was like a believer seeing a god. One could imagine how firm that belief was; nothing else mattered anymore.

Yes!! Ren Jie also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Before making this request to the Fang Family, he had sorted out from his original memories that this Chang Lao Si was a gambling fanatic. He didn't just run a casino; he wasn't just doing it for profit.

Now it seemed that he was right. What this kind of person wanted wasn't just making money. Just like an Artifact Refiner without ambition or dreams, it would be difficult to become a top Spirit Artifact Refiner if they were only in it for the money. In any field, there are people who are obsessed with that field. This motivation has surpassed their pursuit of money and other things; it is their faith.

Originally, Ren Jie had prepared many things to persuade Chang Lao Si to achieve his goal, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't have to say anything himself. The effect was so good that even Ren Jie was surprised.

"I believe you should be able to see, Lao Si, that if I fully support and promote this, once this matter is successful, even if I only give you half a share, what you own will be more than ten times what you have now, and..."

"No!" Before Ren Jie could finish speaking, Chang Lao Si said excitedly, "If I were only in it for the money, with my cultivation, I could dominate an area outside of Jade Capital City and earn ten times more money than I do now. And with my gambling skills, I can roam the world freely; there's no need for me to be in Jade Capital City like this. Because of the cultivation technique I practice, I entrust my emotions to gambling. To break through, I must also make a breakthrough in gambling. Whether it's for my dream or to break through to the Yin Yang Realm, I must stay in Jade Capital City to fulfill my dream. That's why I created the Chang Le Gang."

"After hearing Family Head Ren's words today, I, Chang Lao Si, have been enlightened. I can even feel that if I can truly sublimate gambling to this level, then I will definitely be able to reach a higher level, both in gambling skills and in strength. Family Head Ren doesn't need to give me anything. As long as Family Head Ren needs it and doesn't mind, the Chang Le Gang will be yours from now on, including all my private property." What did these properties and gang power count for?

Chang Lao Si was a Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer figure. Just with this cultivation, he could look down on ordinary princes and nobles, not to mention his gambling skills. As he himself said, if he was willing, he had too many choices, each of which was better than what he had now.

One had to know that Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer was a true powerhouse, just one step away from surpassing the limits of human power. Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer's power was strong to the limit, but it would not increase lifespan. The reason why the Yin Yang Realm was different was because once one stepped into the Yin Yang Realm, lifespan would begin to extend, so this was a watershed.

And Chang Lao Si reaching Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer at this age was already shockingly amazing. This was also why ordinary people were unwilling to provoke him easily, and why the Chang Le Gang could become one of the top ten gangs in Jade Capital City, and why all the major forces wanted to win him over.

If at this moment, those who wanted to win over Chang Lao Si discovered that he was kneeling down and begging Ren Jie to accept his property and gang, and to follow Ren Jie, those people would probably think they were dreaming and would be frightened.

"No need." Ren Jie waved his hand and said, "Listen to me first. I won't give you too much, but I won't give you too little either, and you must accept it, not just for yourself, but for your subordinates and your descendants. In the future, I will own 70% and control everything, Lao Si, you will own 10%, your brothers will share 10%, and the remaining 10% will be used for relief. This kind of relief is not donating to others, but to be put into practice. You can disbelieve in all the gods and Buddhas, but you must believe in your conscience, do things with your conscience, and seek a clear conscience. Ten percent is not much, but not little either. These 30% of yours will never change. In the future, all investments or expansions will be made from my 70%. Long-term accumulation is also very terrifying."

If it really reached the level Ren Jie said, 10% would definitely be very terrifying, and this 10% was a free ride. There was no need to invest, but one could get income as the scale expanded. This 10% income was really terrifying.

Others didn't understand, but Chang Lao Si, who had always had this as his dream and even used it as a breakthrough to the Yin Yang Realm, understood it too well.

"Keep listening to me." Chang Lao Si was excited and wanted to speak, but Ren Jie directly stopped him and continued, "And I will say it even if you don't, because due to my special status, there are times when it is inconvenient for me to come forward, so you have to do everything."

Chang Lao Si nodded sharply, nodding vigorously. Ren Jie didn't let him speak, and he was expressing his feelings in this way.

"So I won't let you suffer either. I won't be like Fang Yan and the others, just looking at your strength and wanting to use you because you can make money. When the time comes, I will publicly accept you as my disciple. As the Ren Family Head, I can also teach you some things. It's not an exaggeration to accept you as a disciple, using the saying 'the accomplished are teachers'. At that time, you will be my, Ren Jie's, disciple, and the entire Ren Family will be your backing, definitely not that kind of secret support. Also, I only said that earlier to make you not have so much resistance in your heart. It was me who proposed to the Fang Family to let them spend money to buy your Chang Le Gambling House. I probably don't need to say much else." Ren Jie knew that this kind of thing had to be dealt with quickly.

The Fang Family wanted to take advantage of this matter to subdue Chang Lao Si and the Chang Le Gang once and for all. Adding to the previous events, if Chang Lao Si only followed him, Ren Jie could imagine how long Chang Lao Si could live. They would not allow the Fang Family to have another Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer expert. With his age, he even had the opportunity to impact the Yin Yang Realm.

Fang Qi and Fang Yan would retaliate even more. They didn't dare to directly attack him, so the Chang Le Gang and Chang Lao Si who had joined him would be miserable. Originally, Ren Jie was still thinking about what to do. Just now, when Chang Lao Si mentioned the matter of accepting disciples, Ren Jie was happy in his heart. That's fine, then he would accept a disciple.

But before accepting a disciple, Ren Jie also had to make things clear. Ren Jie didn't want to deceive his own people. At the beginning, it was just a little bit of negotiation tactics to prevent Chang Lao Si from being resistant and not listening to his words. Now that he was going to accept him as a disciple, Ren Jie also had to lay his cards on the table.

"This..." Chang Lao Si simply couldn't believe it. In fact, after he heard Ren Jie's words just now, knelt down, and said that he would follow Ren Jie, he had already thought about being involved in the struggle between the two great families, and might even become a sacrifice.

But he also knew that he would not give up even if he died.

But he didn't expect Ren Jie to be so considerate, to have thought of this. This was to protect him.

As for Ren Jie's last words, Chang Lao Si was stunned at first, but then his heart warmed, because Ren Jie didn't need to say these words at all, but the fact that he said so only showed one thing: he really wanted to treat him as his own person and didn't want to deceive him. Although this matter was provoked by Ren Jie, it was obvious that the Fang Family had been planning to annex his Chang Le Gang for more than a day or two, so this was why such a thing happened. Chang Lao Si immediately understood the key.

"What's wrong? Could it be that what you said just now wasn't sincere, and now you don't want to worship me as your master? Or do you think I lied to you before?" Ren Jie said jokingly.

"Bang... Bang... Bang..." Chang Lao Si heavily kowtowed three times, saying excitedly, "Disciple Chang Si greets Master."

It's over, this is really over.

Crazy, everyone's gone crazy.

The fatty was already speechless, grabbing his hair hard, wishing he could pull it all out.

Because all of this was simply too, too, too unbelievable.

Ren Jie actually accepted a Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer disciple in such a short time. Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer, a powerhouse that even the Emperor wanted to recruit, and who also had the potential to impact the Yin Yang Realm and become a figure who could independently support a powerful family for a hundred years.

Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer, enough to establish a sect and start a school, sufficient for a small sect. If one reaches the Yin Yang Realm, then they are definitely a hegemonic figure, not easily provoked even by the Five Great Families.

Now... to actually... become a disciple just like that, this is too crazy.
