Chapter 3: The Calm before the Storm

With the money, Wei Di was still short of money as the Pill Altar and the pill ingredients were extremely expensive. So he came up with an ingenious plan to bet himself on the tournament in the gambling house owned by the City Lord's family Clan. Given that Wei Di was the least likely to win, the payout odds for him to win was around 600 to 700 times the bet amount. This way he can kill two birds in one stone by punishing the City Lord's son and yet win a large sum of money.

With three more weeks before the tournament, Wei Di immediately went into cultivation every day and even skipped school. All including the teacher thought he had given up on the competition.

Before the night of the competition, while Wei Di was cultivating in his room, there was a knock on his door.

"Wei Di! Your third uncle is here to see you!". The cross-legged WD opened his eyes and stopped his cultivation. He came down from this bed and invited his third uncle to come in. While many shunned from WD, his third uncle often dotes after him as WD is an orphan.

Wei Di's mum passed away from birth while his father died while fighting at the border. His third uncle casually mentioned "Ahem! I happen to have an extra internal boost pill here that is about to expire and needs to be consumed soon…" WD knew that the pill was not cheap and he must have spent his own salary to secretly purchase behind his wife's back. Wei Di emphatically looked at his uncle and hugged his uncle while shouting playfully "Third uncle is the best! In the future I will repay you back" His third uncle covered Wei Di's boy with his huge warm palm and softly whispered," Ssssshh quiet down You trying to get me into trouble?!?!!"
