Chapter 504: Chapter 240 The real invincible?_1
In the small courtyard, under the Stone Pavilion.
The Carefree Monk spoke with a calm demeanor.
However, Luo Changfeng didn’t easily believe the words of the Carefree Monk before him.
“Really, this time I was just bored and decided to swing by your place,” he said.
“Besides, I wanted to see what kind of situation your Qingshi City Luo Family will be in during the upcoming chaotic battle.”
Seeing that Luo Changfeng was somewhat incredulous,
the Carefree Monk couldn’t help but speak up again.
This time, Luo Changfeng, sitting quietly under the Stone Pavilion, couldn’t help but fall silent.
If what the Carefree Monk said was to be considered…
then it did seem somewhat credible.
After all, the Qi-Blood Elixir was his original creation.
The Bloodgrass of the Other Shore, known as one of the top ten divine-level Spiritual Roots on the Xuanyuan Continent, could only be obtained through him.
If, due to this struggle, he, the Ancestor of the Qingshi City Luo Family, were to fall all of a sudden,
wouldn’t the inheritance of the Qi-Blood Elixir be severed?
Therefore, to put his mind at ease,
the Carefree Monk had chosen to come and see for himself, which was a rather reasonable explanation.
“Why, you still don’t believe me?”
Seeing Luo Changfeng silently looking down,
the Carefree Monk couldn’t help but ask again.
“Believe, believe…”
Luo Changfeng sighed, speaking in a low voice.
He silently lifted the cup of tea from the stone table to his lips and slowly began to drink.
“As long as you believe…”
The Carefree Monk silently nodded.
Afterward, he also began to savor the wonderful taste of his tea, which had already cooled down.
For a time, the atmosphere in this small courtyard
grew even quieter.
“Shall we play a game?”
“I’ve played quite a bit of Go recently, and I feel my skills have greatly improved.”
“Surely, facing you today should be enough…”
After he finished his tea,
the Carefree Monk calmed himself for a moment before
Suddenly speaking up to Luo Changfeng across from him.
“So confident?”
Luo Changfeng slightly narrowed his eyes but didn’t choose to decline the Carefree Monk’s request.
The game of Go tests one’s skills.
A match is just a match.
He was curious to see just how much the Carefree Monk had improved since his last crushing defeat.
…
Time passed.
In the small courtyard, under the Stone Pavilion.
The game of Go between Luo Changfeng and the Carefree Monk was still going on.
On the surface, it seemed that the match between them was still in a fifty-fifty state.
But in reality, a closer look would reveal
that the Carefree Monk’s situation was slowly digging itself into a trap set by Luo Changfeng.
“It’s about time.”
“Time to end this game.”
Luo Changfeng murmured quietly, lifting his gaze to look at the Carefree Monk in front of him.
Then, he casually picked up a chess piece
and placed it in a very critical position on the board.
“This move is the finishing blow…”
After Luo Changfeng made his move, he folded his hands in front of his chest, a slight smile on his face as he watched the Carefree Monk.
With his retreat cut off by this finishing blow,
the Carefree Monk’s face twitched slightly.
His previously calm face, even with a smile, now showed a hint of frustration.
He hadn’t seen that move coming.
He had miscalculated, and this round indeed caught him off guard.
Otherwise, the outcome of this game of Go wasn’t necessarily determined.
As the Carefree Monk thought so to himself, he couldn’t do much apart from an exasperated sigh.
Having nothing better to do at the moment,
the Carefree Monk, after losing the first game, started a second game of Go.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard the Carefree Monk tried,
the outcome was still just a crushing defeat, over and over.
During that time, let alone glimpses of hope for victory,
he couldn’t even see a potential advantage in the game.
“To be honest, how much longer do I need to play before I can beat you?”
Feeling dizzy from his consecutive defeats,
the Carefree Monk finally raised his head and asked Luo Changfeng.
“Want to beat me?”
“Difficult…”
Luo Changfeng shook his head silently, speaking quietly.
In truth, if he were to be completely honest,
he would have said it was almost impossible.
But such an answer was somewhat cruel,
so Luo Changfeng chose to leave the Carefree Monk with some hope.
“Fine then,”
“No more about chess.”
“There is something that has piqued my curiosity, what exactly is going on between the Wan Dan Sect and the Divine Elixir Sect?”
“And the Shou Family of the Alchemist Families in the Nanhuang Divine State,”
“has actually gone so far as to take over the elixir market in Nanhuang Divine State outright.”
“Isn’t this a bit too audacious for the Shou Family?”
While the Carefree Monk spoke, he also began to gather the chess pieces on the board.
“The Wan Dan Sect and the Divine Elixir Sect?”
Hearing this, Luo Changfeng first took a sip from his cup of tea to moisten his throat.
Then he began to explain slowly, “Within the Wan Dan Sect, there were originally three great Alchemist Families. However, for some unknown reason, one of these families, the Qin Family, chose to separate from the Wan Dan Sect. And upon their departure, the Qin Family not only established the Divine Elixir Sect but also took nearly a third of the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect, along with a massive amount of resources.”
