Film and Television: Starting with Using AI to Solve the Rare Chess Puzzle

"Master Uncle, my master passed away more than a year ago after passing on his skills to me. It was my own choice to come to you, Master Uncle. I want to learn the Pure Yang Supreme Skill and the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand."

Lu Ming replied respectfully, his eyes filled with a hint of sadness.

He had no intention of hiding his purpose. For someone as domineering and self-centered as Tong Lao, deception and concealment might displease her, while honesty would earn her her appreciation.

"What did you say?! Wu Yazi is dead... Why?! With the Beiming True Qi he had accumulated, he could easily live for another ten years. Why would he pass on his power to you?!... Tell me, did you use the Beiming Divine Art to drain his power?!"

Upon hearing that Wu Yazi was dead, Tong Lao broke down emotionally and lost her mind. She rushed forward in two steps, grabbed Lu Ming's arm tightly with both hands, and said viciously, her eyes filled with a fierce light that seemed to want to devour Lu Ming.

"Master Uncle, please calm down!"

Lu Ming let out a low shout and used the Soul Searching Technique to probe the Child Granny with his spiritual power.

Tong Lao felt a sharp pain in her head, and her mind cleared up a little. She released Lu Ming's hands, took two steps back, and her expression was somewhat complicated.

"Yes! If Wuyazi is unwilling, even if you master the Beiming Divine Art to perfection, it will be of no use given his cultivation level. ... Tell me, why did your master seek death?"

She sighed softly, having already figured out the key to it.

Not reconciled!

She had waited for so many years, and Wu Yazi had long become her obsession. This sudden news had truly overwhelmed her.

The Northern Darkness Divine Art can absorb internal energy for cultivation, but it can only absorb energy from those with lower levels of power. Forcibly absorbing energy from those with far greater power than oneself will only result in severed meridians and death. Given Lu Ming's age, there is no way he could surpass Wu Yazi.

Therefore, the only possibility is that Wu Yazi deliberately sought death, passing on his true energy to Lu Ming.

"Uncle-Master, this matter dates back to when you told Master about the affair between Uncle-Master Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu. Back then..."

Lu Ming led Tong Lao to an open space not far away. Family scandals should not be aired in public, so he used the secret method of telepathy to tell her about what happened back then. He went to catch Wu Ya Zi in adultery, but was poisoned by Li Qiu Shui and Ding Chun Qiu and fell off a cliff, becoming paralyzed. He lived in seclusion on Lei Gu Mountain for more than 30 years. Finally, he took Tong Lao as his disciple and handed over the position of sect leader to him, telling him everything.

"That damned bitch, she actually dared to collude with outsiders to plot against my junior brother, leaving him paralyzed for years. No wonder we haven't heard from him all these years. ...And that Ding Chunqiu, once I recover my cultivation, I will grind those two scoundrels to dust, cut them into a thousand pieces, and make them unable to live or die."

Granny Tong gritted her teeth, wishing she could immediately grab Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu and torture them severely.

"Uncle-Master, now is not the time to talk about these things. You are currently in the period of dissipating your cultivation, and you must seize the time to recover your strength. I will personally protect you to prevent Uncle-Master from causing trouble."

"You're right. Only by killing that bitch with my own hands can I vent my hatred."

The old woman's eyes were filled with hatred, and her gaze unconsciously fell on the demons and monsters beside her, or more precisely, on their necks, her eyes filled with longing.

The Eight Desolations and Six Directions Supreme Skill is an improvement on the Pure Yang Supreme Skill by Tong Lao. It mainly attacks the Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian. Because the Qi is too strong and too much, far exceeding the corresponding blood in the body, Qi is Yang and blood is Yin. If there is no blood Yin to balance the Yang Qi, it will lead to death due to excessive Yang and deficient Yin.

There are many ways to replenish blood, but the old woman uses the extreme method of sucking fresh blood, which is chilling.

"Boss Wu!"

Seeing through Tong Lao's thoughts, Lu Ming turned to look at Wu Laoda, who was still slapping his thigh in regret, and said coldly.

"Please...please give your instructions!"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's voice, Old Wu scrambled to Lu Ming's feet, head bowed low, his voice trembling.

"For the next three months, you will each send one person to Lingjiu Palace every day to assist your master in his training. Rest assured, I will not take your lives. Once your master's strength has recovered, I can decide to give you a two-year supply of life-suppressing talismans."

Lu Ming wasn't a bloodthirsty person, but he couldn't quite accept watching Tong Lao directly suck people's blood to practice her skills like a vampire. So he opted for a gentler method.

He could accept it if these people simply gave him some fresh blood to practice his skills every day.

"Thank you for sparing my life, young hero!"

Boss Wu immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and the other demons and monsters also knelt down and shouted.

"Hmph! Such womanly compassion!" Granny Tong sneered disdainfully.

"Senior Uncle, I'm not you after all, and I can't quite accept your methods of replenishing blood!"

Lu Ming chuckled. There are many ways to replenish blood, the gentlest of which is to eat herbs that replenish qi and blood. However, this method is too slow to take effect, and Tong Lao is an impatient person, which is why she chose the blood-drinking method.

Granny Tong turned her head away with a disdainful look, but she didn't say anything. Right now, she still had to rely on Lu Ming.

"Senior Uncle, let's go! Let's return to Lingjiu Palace first!"

Lu Ming stepped forward, carried Tong Lao on his back, and with a slight push of his feet, rushed towards the Misty Peak of Tianshan Mountain. In a few breaths, he disappeared from everyone's sight. As for Wu Laoda and the others, presumably under the control of the Life and Death Talisman, they dared not make any unnecessary moves.

"I'm so damn stupid! I missed such a great opportunity..."

Seeing the two disappear, Old Wu started pounding his chest and stamping his feet again, wishing he could go back a few days and kill the version of himself that brought Tong Lao out.

……

Piaomiao Peak is one of the peaks in the Tianshan Mountains. It is not high in altitude and unlike other mountains that are covered with ice and snow, there is no ice and snow here. Instead, it is often shrouded in fog. For half the year, the mountain's appearance cannot be seen clearly, hence the name Piaomiao Peak.

The Tianshan Mountains are rich in snow lotus, and even starting from Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak, climbing to the top of the snow mountain to collect snow lotus is a difficult and dangerous journey.

Inside Lingjiu Palace, most of the people from the Nine Heavens and Nine Departments had gone out to search for the whereabouts of Tong Lao, leaving only the four trusted confidants Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, as well as the Juntian Department to stay behind. Therefore, Lingjiu Palace was somewhat deserted at the moment.

"Your subordinate is incompetent; I did not even notice that Your Majesty had disappeared. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

As soon as Lu Ming arrived at Lingjiu Palace via the iron chain, he was spotted by several people guarding the palace gate. These people originally wanted to draw their swords, but when they saw the person on Lu Ming's back, they all knelt down on one knee to pay their respects.

"Qing Shuang, where are the rest?!"

The old woman dismounted from Lu Ming's back, turned around to look at her surroundings, and found that only the people from the Juntian Division were there. She frowned and asked in a cold voice.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, after your disappearance, disciples from all departments descended the mountain to search for Your Excellency's whereabouts. The Haotian Department went east, the Yangtian Department went southeast, the Chitian Department went south, the Zhutian Department went southwest, the Chengtian Department went west, the Youtian Department went northwest, the Xuantian Department went north, the Luantian Department went northeast, and my Juntian Department guarded this palace."

"Send someone to bring them back, and tell them that I, the sect leader, have returned!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
