She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 132: Breaking the impasse, weapon spirit, and looking for seniors

Xie Lian could vaguely hear bursts of noise coming from Xia Wuji's direction.

"There are quite a few people watching. Could it be some gambling house or something like that?"

Xie Lian shook his head, becoming more and more certain that Xia Wuji had gambled with someone on chess.

But having said that, the opponent who played against Xia Wuji was really good at chess.

After four games of chess, it had reached the point where Xie Lian needed to take the situation a little more seriously.

"Not bad, not bad. The fifth set has some new ideas."

Xie Lian looked at the fifth chess game in front of him with a smile on his face, muttering to himself, “It seems that I was right to help Xia Wuji out of weakness today. Otherwise, where else would I meet such an interesting opponent in normal times?”

Xia Wuji placed a piece down, the black chess piece disappeared, the chess slave shattered, and a white light lit up.

As usual, there were bursts of low cries around me.

"The fifth game of the Nine Deaths Chess Game was also cracked"

"Hiss. This kid is really a monster."

Ever since Xia Wuji solved the fourth round of the Nine Deaths chess game, many cultivators felt that there was no hope and had completely given up on this test, and all came to watch his chess game.

I have to say, it’s really wonderful.

Although it was just a game between chess pieces, the onlookers saw the danger of a battle of swords, the collision of great ways, and the flow of the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

Every move made by both sides has unspeakable mysteries hidden behind it, which always makes people tremble with astonishment and applaud.

At this time, the fifth stroke had appeared on the black jade plate in Xia Wuji's hand.

It looks like it should be the starting stroke of the character "生".

It is not difficult to guess that if the nine-death chess game is completely cracked, this black jade plate will completely reveal the word "no life".

By then, an amazing opportunity will be waiting.

It was really difficult for Tantai Qingyin to connect the radiant figure sitting beside the chessboard with her impression of Xia Wuji, the third prince of Daxia.

From his appearance, you would never guess that Xia Wuji is such a talented person.

He even cracked five of Emperor Wusheng's nine-death chess games. It's really hard to imagine.

But Tantai Qingyin always felt something was wrong.

She always felt that the person sitting at the chessboard and easily solving the game must be an extraordinary hermit who was like a banished immortal.

Instead of being like Xia Wuji, who shows his emotions on his face and is so proud that he almost loses his composure.

It’s just a simple feeling—Xia Wuji, he doesn’t deserve it!

Tantai Qingyin didn't know why she had this feeling. There was no reason, but it was extremely strong.

"perhaps."

Tantai Qingyin had a complicated expression and murmured, "I have a preconceived notion and prejudice against Prince Xia. He is a man of real substance..."

"Wow—"

On Yu Xuanji's side, the fourth game of chess was also won.

Old Xiao put down the chess piece and stood up with a complicated expression, as if he no longer had the heart to continue.

"Miss, this is my limit."

Old Xiao glanced at a shining figure not far away and said helplessly, "It was only because of this person's moves that I was inspired to crack the fourth game. It's really shameful.

In the fifth game, there was really nothing I could do.”

"Just do your best, Mr. Xiao."

Yu Xuanji didn't seem to care, and her beautiful eyes never left Xia Wuji who was sitting beside the chessboard.

Seeing that Yu Xuanji had been paying attention to the other party, Old Xiao could not help but say, "This man's chess skills are the best I have ever seen in my life, and seeing that he looks relaxed, he probably still has some strength left.

It is truly astonishing that he has achieved such accomplishments at such a young age."

Yu Xuanji seemed to have realized something: "The Great Emperor Wusheng entered the Dao through chess, and the Dao of chess contains the Dao. The first few games of the Nine Deaths chess game are fine, but the future will involve the perception and understanding of the Dao of heaven and earth.

"Mr. Xiao, this man has such a high level of attainment in chess. Given time, do you think he can become the second Wusheng Emperor?"

Old Xiao took a deep breath, his expression was shocked, but he nodded and said: "If he can really crack the Nine Deaths Chess Game completely, it may not be impossible."

Yu Xuanji nodded and said, "Then my Wanbao Pavilion must do its best to win over such a person."

"It's to win over."

Mr. Xiao agreed.

But Yu Xuanji showed a playful smile on her face, staring at the figure, and said softly: "But when I saw this person playing chess, although his eyes were always fixed on the chessboard, his mind never really seemed to be on the chessboard. Instead, every time he made a move, he would look up at the fairy Tan Tai from the Fanyin Holy Land. It was really interesting.
If it wasn't that his chess attainments were really high enough that he could break a dead end chess game without taking it seriously, then... Hehe."

When Mr. Xiao heard this, his face was filled with shock, and he cried out in a low voice: "Miss, are you saying that the one who really broke the deadlock was not him, but someone else?!"

Yu Xuanji's eyes sparkled with light. She smiled slightly and waved her folding fan gently, like an elegant and graceful young man in troubled times. She gave a faint order: "Mr. Xiao, have someone investigate this person's identity and background as soon as possible. The more detailed the better."

"Yes."

Mr. Xiao looked solemn and hurriedly retreated.

The sixth game, broken!

The seventh game, broken!

Game 8
Game after game, the chess slaves around the chessboard kept breaking apart and reuniting.

The huge valley was completely silent, and the many monks watching were almost numb from the shock.

"It's the ninth inning."

Someone murmured.

Yes, it’s the ninth inning already!
The word "Wu Sheng" on the black jade plate is only missing the last stroke.

As long as the young man with the golden elixir in front of him can break one more game, the nine-death chess game of Emperor Wusheng will be completely solved!

The chess game that was said to be able to trap and kill immortals was actually cracked by a young cultivator at the Jindan stage. If this were to get out, it would have caused a sensation in the entire southern cultivation world.

"puff--"

A chess player dressed in secular clothes stared at the chessboard and suddenly turned pale, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and was dying.

A cultivator next to him glanced at him and sneered disdainfully: “My cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage has made me dare not watch any more since the beginning of the fifth game of chess, for fear that my Dao heart would be shattered.

You are just a mortal, and you dare to covet the Supreme Dao? You really don't know how to live or die."

Indeed, many monks in the field felt the same way.

From now on, this chess game of nine deaths is no longer an ordinary chess game, but a trap of heaven and earth, and a killing array of the great way.

People with lower realms would have their spiritual hearts broken after looking at it a few more times, let alone ordinary people. He was lucky that he didn't die on the spot due to exhaustion.

This is also why all the monks truly admire and are shocked by the person who broke through.

"If this person is not born with immortal talent, then he must be the reincarnation of a great being. Otherwise, it is impossible for a person at the mere Golden Core stage to possess such a terrifying Dao Heart realm."

"That's right. Given time, he might become another peerless figure like the Wusheng Emperor."

Xia Wuji, who was sitting in front of the chessboard, already had layers of halo and mystery in their eyes.

"Miss, here's what you wanted."

Old Xiao came to Yu Xuanji and respectfully handed her a jade slip.

Yu Xuanji took it and started to examine it.

"Xia Wuji, the third prince of the fifth-level cultivation country Daxia in the Suzaku Continent, is sixty-three years old. He is in the middle stage of the golden elixir cultivation and has dabbled in chess, but his performance is mediocre..."

Yu Xuanji quickly browsed through all the information in the jade slip.

Only the all-powerful Wanbao Pavilion could collect such detailed information about a cultivator within half a day.

"Miss, is there really something fishy going on with this person?"

Mr. Xiao asked curiously.

Yu Xuanji shook her head and replied calmly: "Let's see if he can solve the ninth game first..."

"Yes."

The black and white chess pieces are scattered all over the place, as if containing the supreme truth and the ultimate principle of heaven and earth.

All the onlookers almost held their breath, all looking forward to the outcome of this final game.

Finally, as Xia Wuji's last move fell, the large number of black pieces held by the chess slaves disappeared, and the chess slaves and the chessboard, which was completely condensed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, also shattered.

The black jade plate rose into the air, and the last stroke appeared quietly, with the word "Wu Sheng" appearing on it.

Broken?!
The legendary chess game of nine deaths that could trap and kill an immortal has been completely broken? !
All the monks in the audience were stunned, and then they all showed expressions of helplessness and disbelief on their faces.

A legend that has been circulating in the world of cultivation for a long time was now broken right under their noses. How could it not make people feel like they were in a dream?

Everyone's eyes were focused on the figure in gorgeous clothes.

At the moment the chess game was solved, Xia Wuji himself was a little stunned, as if it was a little unexpected.

Then there was immense excitement and ecstasy.

broken!

Senior Xie really cracked the Nine Deaths Chess Game of the Wusheng Emperor? !
Doesn't that mean Senior Xie is even more powerful than the Wusheng Emperor? Even if it's not that exaggerated, they are at least on the same level.

Xia Wuji worshipped Xie Lian prostrate himself.

"Senior...Senior"

He called out in his heart, unable to stop his excitement.

Xie Lian's always calm and gentle voice rang out.

"it's over?"

"Uh-huh!"

Xia Wuji nodded frantically in his heart, "My admiration for you, Senior, is like a surging river..."

"Alright alright..."

Xie Lian's voice was somewhat helpless. "Since it's over, I'll leave first. I'll come back to get your Two Realms Pearl when I'm done. Oh, and remember, this won't happen again."

"Yes."

Xia Wuji nodded respectfully in his heart.

Xie Lian casually threw the Two Worlds Pearl aside and stretched lazily.

She had been helping Xia Wuji play this game for too long.

However, her opponent was quite strong, which made her enjoy the game very much.

Of course, there is still a big gap between his strength and my own, but such an opponent is also very rare.

"When can I ask Xia Wuji to introduce me to you? It would be nice to have a chess friend of mine..."

Xie Lian muttered to himself, then stood up and walked into the house.

She had been sitting for too long, so she went to drink some water.

Here, Xia Wuji experienced the most glorious moment in his life.

The focus of everyone's attention, shining brightly.

His heart was filled with excitement and joy that almost overflowed, and the first thing he wanted was for Tan Tai Qing Yin to witness his heroic appearance at this moment.

"Fairy Tantai, I succeeded."

Xia Wuji tried his best to act in what he thought was the most cool and charming manner, and smiled at Tan Tai Qingyin.

Tantai Qingyin simply said to him calmly: "Congratulations, Prince Xia."

Xia Wuji was a little confused. Fairy Dan Tai didn't have this attitude towards him just now. Why was she so distant now?

Tan Tai Qing Yin just felt a little disappointed.

The person she expected was not the same person as the one in front of her.

"Hehehe"

Yu Xuanji looked at Xia Wuji, who was surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Miss.."

Mr. Xiao on the side was a little puzzled.

Yu Xuanji covered her face with a folding fan, revealing only a pair of crescent-shaped eyes. She pointed at Xia Wuji and said to Old Xiao with a smile, "Old Xiao, look at this brilliant figure. Does he look like a monkey who has gotten carried away by his pride now?!"

Mr. Xiao was stunned for a moment, then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, all the chessboards and chess slaves on the field shattered, turning into white spiritual energy that rolled back to the entrance of the cave.

The black jade token in Xia Wuji's hand, the jade token in Yu Xuanji's hand, and the jade token in Tan Tai Qingyin's hand broke free and flew up at the same time, hovering in the air.

A white light lit up at the entrance of the cave, and all the cultivators on the scene were suddenly excited and expectant, and all looked towards the entrance of the cave.

The test is over. Is the cave of the Wusheng Emperor finally going to be opened?
Tan Tai Qingyin's black jade token flew up first.

There is only one picture on the jade card, which means that Tan Tai Qing Yin only cracked one game.

The black jade plate flew towards the cave and was sucked in. Then, a ball of white light flew out from the crowd and flew straight towards Tan Tai Qingyin.

An ancient and exquisite jade box is wrapped in white light.

Tan Tai Qing Yin reached out and gently grasped it, then opened the jade box, and a ray of light immediately bloomed out.

A pure white pill lay quietly in the jade box.

"The elixir energy turns into clouds, and the clouds turn into five colors. It is a top-grade elixir!"

The people in the field were all knowledgeable Nascent Soul cultivators, and someone immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Many people cast passionate glances at the jade box in Tan Tai Qing Yin's hand.

The top-grade elixir that can turn the elixir energy into five-colored clouds is a very precious item even for cultivators in the Dharma Realm. Taking one pill can save at least a hundred years of hard training. How can they not be envious?

"I understand. As long as you can solve the chess game and obtain the black jade token, you have passed the test to a certain extent, and you will receive the reward from the Wusheng Emperor's cave.
Not surprisingly, the more chess games you solve, the richer the rewards will be.”

A monk suddenly spoke up.

As expected, the next thing to be absorbed into the cave was Yu Xuanji's black jade token.

Relying on the chess skills of her subordinate, Old Xiao, Yu Xuanji won four games in a row. The word "Wu" on the black jade plate was almost fully drawn, with only the last stroke left to be completed.

After the second black jade plate was absorbed, a larger ball of white light came out.

The white light contained a green short sword with a smooth spine covered with pine patterns, which looked quite beautiful.

The pine-patterned short sword suddenly broke through the white light, making a clear sword sound, circled in the air, and then flew in front of Yu Xuanji, emitting green light.

The sharp aura that leaked out like a silver bottle suddenly appearing made the hearts of all the cultivators in the field tremble.

"Mysterious weapon! With such a sharp edge and such spirituality, it must be at least a top-grade mysterious weapon, or even a top-grade one!"

The monks in the field were so envious that their eyes almost turned red.

That is a top-grade mysterious weapon.

There are countless cultivators in the Fuyao realm who don’t even have a single Xuan weapon in their hands, let alone a top-grade Xuan weapon.

But even though they were envious, they could do nothing about it, as they hadn't even solved a single chess game.

I can only blame myself for my lack of strength. Even though the opportunity is right before my eyes, I am unable to grab it.

After both rewards were distributed, all eyes in the field were focused on one person.

Xia Wuji. The black jade plate in front of Xia Wuji has the words "Wu Sheng" engraved on both sides, a total of nine strokes, perfect.

Solving one chess game will reward you with a top-grade elixir, solving four games will reward you with a top-grade mysterious weapon, and solving all nine dead chess games will reward you with a top-grade mysterious weapon.
Then what kind of reward should he get from the Wusheng Great Emperor's cave? !

Everyone is looking forward to it.

And Xia Wuji is the one who is most looking forward to it.

He stared at his own black jade token, watching it fly into the cave, and was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.

The place was completely silent, with everyone staring at the cave entrance.

Soon, the void at the entrance began to ripple slightly.

There was white light coming out of it.

Then more and more, brighter and brighter.
"boom--"

Endless white light, like a pouring galaxy, gushed out from the void.

A ball of dazzling and piercing white light slowly floated out from the cave, and it was as if a small sun suddenly appeared in the field. The strong light made it almost impossible for many people to open their eyes.

The momentum of this appearance alone is a thousand or even ten thousand times greater than that of the previous top-grade mysterious weapon-level pine-patterned dagger.

what is it? !

What on earth is inside?!

Faintly, hidden in the thick white light, there seemed to be an object with a square outline.

Is it a magic weapon?

Everyone tried to open their eyes wide to see clearly.

The strong white light finally dissipated after lasting for nearly a cup of tea. Everyone focused their eyes and finally saw clearly.

It was a chessboard.

A grey chessboard.

The surface was almost completely covered with black and white chess pieces, except for in the very middle, where two large, powerful characters slowly emerged from the criss-crossing lines.

——Mystery.

Mysterious chessboard!

As the white light dissipated, a terrifying aura so powerful that it was almost despairing spread from the chessboard.

All the cultivators were trembling under this aura, and the Nascent Souls in their bodies seemed to be shaking.

too frightening.

Yu Xuanji stared at the chessboard closely, his eyes were shocked, and he murmured to himself: "Xuanji chessboard, this is one of the magic weapons that Emperor Wusheng carried with him.

He ascended to the upper realm, but he didn't take it with him. Instead, he left it in the cave. It's unbelievable."

"Yes, this is the mysterious chessboard of the Wusheng Emperor, a pseudo-immortal-level magic weapon!"

Some monks in the field also recognized him and screamed in surprise.

"His-"

There was a sudden sound of people gasping for breath on the field.

Fake immortal weapon!
A fake immortal weapon actually appeared in the inheritance reward of Emperor Wusheng!

In an instant, countless people's gazes became hot and their faces twisted, wishing they could rush up and take it into their pockets right now.

Xia Wuji was so excited that his whole body couldn't stop shaking.

Fake immortal weapon!
He actually got a fake immortal weapon!

It’s unimaginable, just like a dream.

Xia Wuji was knocked unconscious by the huge pie that fell from the sky, and a bright smile involuntarily broke out on his face.

He could almost foresee how, once he got hold of this pseudo-immortal weapon, he would soar to the sky, rise to prominence, become a master, and dominate the world of cultivation.
But at this moment, the gray chessboard suddenly trembled slightly.

Invisible waves appeared on the chessboard. In the center of the chessboard, at the position of the word "Xuan Ji", a human figure slowly emerged.

It is a sleeping woman.

Her long snow-white hair fell to her ankles, wrapping her body like a piece of clothing.

Her face was extremely delicate and her skin was as smooth as the finest porcelain.

She slowly opened her eyes, her pupils were pitch black, and she looked extremely weird and strange.

From the moment the woman appeared, an extremely terrifying aura enveloped the entire world. Everyone froze and stared blankly at everything in front of them. Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The enchanting white-haired woman raised her eyes and scanned the entire room, finally her gaze fell on Xia Wuji.

She walked towards Xia Wuji step by step on the void, and the Xuanji chessboard followed closely behind her, like a shadow.

The woman came in front of Xia Wuji, looking down at him with indifference.

The woman looked at Xia Wuji and spoke slowly.

It's like the crisp sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard.

"Tell me, where is the person who plays chess with me?"

At this moment, the whole place was shocked, and everyone's face showed expressions of great surprise and astonishment.

Only Xia Wuji's expression was extremely wonderful.

Mysterious and clever!

The identity of the enchanting woman who emerged from the Xuanji Chessboard was undoubtedly the spirit of the Xuanji Chessboard, a pseudo-immortal weapon.

But the meaning of the strange woman's words shocked all the monks present.

The person who played against him before and defeated all the deadly chess games wasn't Xia Wuji? !

This news was too shocking. If it weren't for the terrifying power emanating from the mysterious chessboard that shocked everyone and no one could speak, there would definitely be a lot of discussion in the field at this time.

Everyone stared at Xia Wuji, and Xia Wuji felt his scalp tingling.

No, it's impossible. How did she know that it wasn't me playing chess, but someone was guiding me from behind?
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Xia Wuji's mind in an instant. The aura of the enchanting woman made him tremble, but with the fake immortal weapon in front of him, Xia Wuji was reluctant to give it up.

This is a tremendous fortune, a supreme opportunity, which is right within reach.

And, the key is
There were so many people present, and Fairy Tan Tai was also watching him. If everyone knew that he was a despicable person who was cheating to gain fame, then the reputation of himself and the royal family of Daxia would be completely lost.

Xia Wuji dodged his gaze and replied hesitantly, "The person who played chess with you, no...no, it was me."

After hearing this answer, there was no emotion on the face of the strange woman, she still looked cold and without a trace of human emotion.

"In that case..."

The enchanting woman said calmly: "Play another game with me. If you win, I will recognize you as my master..."

Xia Wuji's breathing suddenly became faster.

"..If you lose, I will kill you."

The enchanting woman said the next sentence lightly, and in an instant, a bone-chilling murderous intent locked onto Xia Wuji, like a cold wind blowing from a glacier that had existed for thousands of years, almost freezing the golden elixir in his body.

Xia Wuji was completely dumbfounded.

It’s over, it’s over, this is completely screwed!

Xia Wuji wanted to cry but had no tears. He tightly grasped the Two Realms Pearl in his right hand, which was hidden by his sleeve, and called out frantically in his heart: "Senior! Senior, save me! Senior, please help me play another game of chess!"

The calls were like falling into the sea, with no response.

Senior Xie had specifically asked him before whether it was over, and he said it was. I guess Senior Xie must have put the Two Worlds Pearl aside and is busy with other things now.

Locked in the cold murderous intent of the enchanting woman, Xia Wuji was almost crying in anxiety. He could only place all his hopes on the Two Worlds Pearl and call out persistently, hoping for a miracle to happen.

It seemed that Xia Wuji's sincerity moved God, and a miracle really happened.

The silent Two Worlds Pearl trembled, and it seemed that someone on the other end heard his call.

A huge hope suddenly rose in Xia Wuji's heart. He was overjoyed and called out hurriedly, "Senior, is that you, Senior Xie?"

After a while, there was finally a response.

"ah!"

There was a short, crisp scream, as if it was from a girl.

It seemed like someone muttered a few more words, and then there was a "click", and there was no movement at all over the other side.

Xia Wuji's hope and expectation were frozen on his face, and his whole body seemed to be weathered, standing still.

From a big up to a big down, then back to a big up, and then to a big down again, it's like riding a roller coaster.

Xia Wuji seemed to have all his strength drained away in an instant. He lowered his head in frustration and slowly stretched out his right hand, revealing a round two-world bead.

He said helplessly and bitterly: "I admit it, it was not me who broke the situation before."

After he said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Tu Shanyue fiddled with the two-world beads on the table. The sudden sound that came from her paw just when she placed it caught her off guard.

She quickly slapped the thing aside, muttered a few words angrily, and still feeling unsatisfied, she bared her teeth at it and made a fierce look.

However, Tu Shanyue's face soon showed a thoughtful look.

The voice coming from inside seemed to be the boy who came to her for help before. He sounded quite anxious. Should she call her over?
Tu Shanyue was thinking about it when suddenly footsteps were heard behind her.

A pair of bare hands picked her up.

“So you are here?”

Xie Lian held the little white fox in his arms and glanced around casually. Seeing the two world beads being messed up, he rubbed the little white fox’s head and said with a smile, “This is not your toy!
Let’s go to the mountain and dig some bamboo shoots.

Someone sent us a large piece of pickled wild boar meat today, and we will make bamboo shoots and salted pork stew tonight."

When she heard that there would be delicious food in the evening, Tu Shanyue's ruby ​​eyes suddenly lit up, and she jumped out of Xie Lian's arms, looking impatient.

This caused Xie Lian to laugh.

As for the cry for help coming from the Two Worlds Pearl, Tu Shanyue had long forgotten it.

"Where is that person?"

The strange woman asked calmly.

“She’s here.”

Just as Xia Wuji was about to point in a direction, the enchanting woman reached out and gently grabbed his collar.

"Forget it, just take me there."

After saying that, with a "swish" sound, the two of them disappeared out of thin air on the spot.

"Huhu."

Without the enchanting woman and the mysterious chessboard, the terrifying aura that enveloped the entire place finally disappeared. All the cultivators were finally able to regain their freedom and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then various discussions arose.

"I never thought that the person who cracked the Nine Deaths Chess Game was not this guy, but someone else?!"

"I was wondering, how could this person, who is so young, possess such terrifying talent and realm!"

"Hiss. The person who is behind this kid and directs him is the real scary one. He is behind the scenes, making plans and using other people's hands to break the chess game of nine deaths cleanly.

He is truly a rare senior master!"

"I didn't expect that there is such a person in our southern border... Oh, I really want to follow him and see what kind of peerless appearance and demeanor this person who solved the nine-death chess game of Emperor Wusheng has..."

"Two Worlds Pearl, haha, I knew it"

Yu Xuanji waved her folding fan, with an expression of "as expected" on her face, and a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth. She immediately turned around and quickly ordered: "Go check which store under my Wanbao Pavilion Xia Wuji bought this set of Two Realms Beads from, and find out where the other one is as soon as possible..."

"Miss."

Old Xiao showed an embarrassment on his face, and whispered: "After all, it is a magic weapon that has already been sold. This may not be a good idea."

Yu Xuanji sneered and said, "Not good? Compared to the trace of a person who can crack the Nine Deaths Chess Game, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Don't tell me you can't track it. I remember that everything sold in Wanbao Pavilion has a mark on it."

This mark is unique to Wanbao Pavilion and was left behind specifically to prevent anyone from counterfeiting the Wanbao Pavilion's reputation. If there is a problem with the magic weapon, it can also be used to recover and destroy it.

There is a reason why Wanbao Pavilion has been able to make such a big business in the world of cultivation.

Mr. Xiao nodded helplessly: "I understand, Miss."

Yu Xuanji nodded with satisfaction and immediately stepped onto the flying boat.

It’s definitely not him!
Tan Tai Qingyin was surprisingly not surprised by the result that Xia Wuji was not the one who actually cracked the chess game. Instead, she felt it was expected.

There was no other reason, she just felt that Xia Wuji was far from the image in her mind of a man who could solve a nine-death chess game and had amazing talent.

Yet, her intuition was correct.

"I just don't know how Xia Wuji got to know such a great man. I really want to see him with my own eyes."

Tan Tai Qing Yin muttered to herself.

Not only her, all the cultivators in the field were curious about the identity of the mysterious master. It was a pity that Xuan Ji moved too fast and disappeared instantly with Xia Wuji, making it impossible to track him.

Tan Tai Qing Yin felt a little regretful, but there was nothing she could do.

Although the inheritance of Emperor Wusheng's cave residence had undergone sudden changes, it was a complete success for her.

At least she got a top-grade elixir, so the trip was worthwhile.

Tan Tai Qing Yin glanced around, her eyes fell on Master Zhu Zhao, and she walked towards him.

He had already discussed the cooperation with Master Zhuzhao in advance. After all, the other party was also a Dharma-Appearance cultivator. Tan Tai Qingyin had to give him some compensation and not let him make a wasted trip.

Master Zhuzhao frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Zhu Zhao Lao Zu"

Tan Tai Qing Yin called out softly, and Master Zhu Zhao finally came back to his senses with a strange look on his face.

"Thank you very much for the help this time, Master Zhuzhao."

Tantai Qingyin was about to be polite to Master Zhuzhao, but was interrupted by Master Zhuzhao's words.

"Fairy Tantai, do you want to meet the peerless master behind Xia Wuji?"

Tan Tai Qing Yin was stunned, and suddenly a surge of excitement rose in her heart. She blurted out subconsciously: "Does Ancestor Zhu Zhao know who it is?"

Master Zhuzhao nodded and said word by word: "If I am not mistaken, it should be that person."

As he spoke, an expression of deep admiration and awe unconsciously revealed on his face and in his eyes.

Xia Wuji only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he reappeared he was already at the door of a small shop.

The shop door was slightly closed, and the four mysterious characters "Lian Yue Shop" on the sign were very familiar to him.

“It’s right here.”

Xia Wuji said tremblingly to the mysterious spirit beside him.

The enchanting woman transformed by the mysterious spirit remained silent, as if silently observing everything in front of her.

The cold aura emanating from the enchanting woman made Xia Wuji feel cold all over and filled with extreme fear.

He took two steps forward, knocked on the door, and called out, "Senior, is Senior Xie at home?"

I shouted twice, but no one responded.

Xia Wuji's calves were trembling, and he turned to the strange woman with a sad face and said, "He's not at home, but...but I swear, the person who instructed me to play chess with you behind my back really lives here."
