Chapter 159 - The Fearful Jianglu!
Chapter 159: The Fearful Jianglu!
Jianglu looked at the chessboard again. He was still shocked.
The black and white chess pieces were unfathomable in every move.
From the initial layout to the battle in the middle to the final ending, they were all extremely exquisite, making Jianglu admire them greatly.
If it were any other time, Jianglu would definitely be extremely interested in studying that chessboard to improve his chess skills.
However, he didn’t have the mood at the moment.
He was attracted by the Sun and Moon Chessboard on the table and couldn’t calm down at all.
Was that chessboard the Sun and Moon Chessboard that he had seen before?
Didn’t he see an immortal-level chessboard in the inner hall just now?
Could it be that Senior had two immortal-level chessboards?
It was very likely.
Jianglu recalled that when he had visited that Senior before, that Senior had thrown that Divination Chessboard into the backyard like it was trash.
It was obvious that that Senior did not care about the pseudo-immortal item at all.
It turned out that that Senior had two immortal item chessboards!
The possibility was very high.
Jianglu thought that if the Sun and Moon Chessboard in front of him was really the chessboard that enlightened the Carefree Grand Sage, then Senior Liu’s background was very unusual.
10,000 years ago, he was able to enlighten the Carefree Grand Sage into the Dao in the upper realm by entering a dream. This meant that Senior Liu was a big shot in the immortal realm 10,000 years ago.
10,000 years had passed. How terrifying was Senior Liu’s identity now?
Furthermore, this big shot could be considered the teacher of the Carefree Grand Sage. He was half the master of the Carefree Grand Sage and the ancestor of the Dao Constellation Palace.
Jianglu once again verified his guess.
His emotions became even more complicated.
Jianglu picked up the tea and was ready to taste it.
Jianglu once again brought the cup to his mouth.
His expression changed drastically.
Something was wrong.
This cup of tea…
Was actually an immortal artifact-level treasure.
Jianglu came from the Dao Constellation Palace, so he was very sensitive to the aura of immortal artifacts.
He didn’t expect that even the cup of tea was an immortal artifact, which made Jianglu sigh with emotion.
This was the life of a peerless expert.
Even the cup of water was of a higher level than their Dao Constellation Palace’s Divination Chessboard.
Jianglu was shocked by this discovery. His mind went blank, and he felt as if his spiritual altar was about to be lost.
He then looked at the teapot. That teapot was actually an immortal artifact as well.
And such teacups, teapots, and other supporting tea sets were neatly arranged on the table in a complete set.
“Hiss.”
This Senior Liu could use an entire set of immortal artifacts to brew tea. Then, how noble was his status?
Jianglu took a sip of the tea with trepidation.
The tea was mellow and fragrant, and there was some sweetness to it.
After just a sip, Jianglu felt some Dao rhythm gushing out of his body.
Was this the power of an immortal artifact?
It could let cultivators easily obtain rare Dao rhythm.
One had to know that Dao rhythm was not common.
And cultivators who had a Dao rhythm would have twice the result with half the effort.
When they broke through, the interference from the inner demons would also be greatly reduced.
Not only that, the Dao rhythm would also increase the cultivator’s comprehension ability.
There were many benefits of the Dao rhythms, and they were not all the same.
After Jianglu drank a mouthful of tea, he began to observe the small courtyard.
He had a bold assumption:
This small courtyard itself was also a huge immortal artifact.
Or perhaps it was an immortal array.
In any case, it was definitely not an ordinary small courtyard.
Jianglu’s gaze landed on the little girl sitting opposite Liu Changgong.
The aura that the little girl emitted was extremely terrifying.
Jianglu deduced from the little girl’s aura that the little girl’s strength was probably much stronger than even their Dao Constellation Palace’s sect master.
When he took a closer look, there was a snow-white little fox lying on the little girl’s thigh.
Jianglu and the others were all dumbfounded.
Such a thick Heavenly Fox bloodline aura…
It was at least a Seven-Tailed Heavenly Fox!
In the Central Plains, Jianglu had never seen more than Six-Tailed Heavenly Foxes.
Wait, the old peach tree behind the little girl had also become a spirit! It looked like it was just not old enough, and it could still not transform.
Jianglu looked at a branch on the old peach tree.
That branch was obviously not a peach tree. It looked like it had been grafted on by other branches.
That’s right, that was a parasol tree branch.
Jianglu recalled the pattern of the parasol tree branch that he had seen in the secret manual of the Dao Constellation Palace.
The branch in front of him was almost the same as the one he had seen in the secret manual of the Dao Constellation Palace
The parasol tree branch that he had seen in the secret manual of the Dao Constellation Palace.
Could it be that that branch was the parasol tree branch of the Li family?
Since there was a parasol tree branch, then the little red bird that was perched on the parasol tree branch must be a phoenix.
Jianglu had just looked at the little red bird when he saw a pair of cold and indifferent eyes.
Jianglu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his body began to tremble violently.
Then, Jianglu immediately lowered his head and drank his tea obediently, not daring to make any other movements.
He had seen the real phoenix!
According to the legends, that Senior had led a phoenix down to the world.
Hearing others say it was completely different from seeing it with one’s own eyes.
Seeing it with one’s own eyes was even more shocking.
Jianglu was almost scared silly. This courtyard was full of big shots.
There were immortal artifacts everywhere in the courtyard.
Jianglu felt as if he had entered the Immortal World.
Although he was very excited, it was more shock and fear.
Under the effect of this emotion, Jianglu couldn’t even drink his tea steadily.
At this time, Jianglu envied a careless person like Lou Hongzhi.
He didn’t care about anything. There was nothing else in his heart other than the sword, so he didn’t have to be afraid because he found out the shocking secret.
When Jianglu was about to finish his tea, Liu Changgong said calmly, “I know that you must be dissatisfied because you lost a few treasures to Miss Hongye.”
Jianglu was stunned and looked up at Liu Changgong.
What treasure? Was it the Sword Immortal’s inheritance of the Startling Rainbow Valley?
That was what Yu Hongye deserved.
At most, Yu Hongye used the calligraphy to snatch the Sword Immortal’s inheritance from Lou Hongzhi.
However, they couldn’t say anything if their skills were inferior.
Besides, they were here for Senior Liu. Jiang Liu and Lou Hongzhi didn’t care about that bullshit inheritance.
Jianglu was about to say that he didn’t care about the treasure when he heard Liu Changgong continue:
“How about this? In order to compensate you, I’ll give you a piece of calligraphy.”
Jianglu confirmed in his heart that Senior Liu was talking about the Sword Immortal’s inheritance.
However, when he heard that Senior Liu wanted to give it to him, Jianglu had other thoughts.
That was Senior’s calligraphy. Jianglu hadn’t reached the point where he wasn’t even moved by Senior Liu’s calligraphy.
However, Jianglu still spoke politely.
“Senior, you must be joking. That was originally what Miss Yu deserved.”
Jianglu played a little trick, but he didn’t directly refuse. Instead, he hinted that he and Lou Hongzhi had no intention of coveting the Sword Immortal’s inheritance.
At the same time, he also left a good impression on the Senior.
That inheritance was already in the hands of the Senior. Could it be that they dared to snatch it back from the Senior’s hands?
“There’s no need to decline. I don’t want you to come all the way here and go back empty-handed.”
Liu Changgong noticed that Jianglu had been looking worried ever since he entered the small courtyard.
