Although Liang Yan was very eager for this Barrier-Breaking Pill, he couldn't help but hesitate at this time. You must know that the value of a Barrier-Breaking Pill is between eighty and ninety spirit stones. It is already very outrageous to reach two hundred and sixty.
The price is too high. Not only is it being taken advantage of, it can also easily attract other people’s prying eyes.
Liang Yan is well aware of the principle of keeping wealth secret. He is just an ordinary handyman disciple. Being able to produce more than a hundred spiritual stones is already the limit. If he bids higher, he may attract the attention of interested people.
And the most important thing is that the woman in white has been indifferent since just now, as if she is saying: "You bid whatever you want, I will lose if I don't increase the price." How could this not make Liang Yan gnash his teeth in hatred.
After much hesitation, Liang Yan finally made no bid. The black-faced man obviously did not expect that the Barrier-Breaking Pill would fetch such a price, and looked beaming with joy. After counting to three times, he announced that the Barrier-Breaking Pill was back.
Owned by the woman in white.
The bidding for this Barrier-Breaking Pill was like an episode, causing everyone in the audience to talk about it, and at the same time it also pushed the atmosphere of the auction to a small climax.
Unfortunately, Liang Yan no longer had any interest at this time. He glanced at the woman, and although he was a little reluctant, he had no choice but to give up and leave alone.
The next day, Liang Yan followed Lin Fei back to the sect. Lin Fei was in a good mood. He praised Liang Yan profusely along the way, saying that his formations were truly extraordinary and that there were no mistakes in the auction, so he would be credited with a great contribution, etc.
Although Liang Yan managed to cope with it on the surface, he was extremely disappointed in his heart. The biggest goal of coming out this time was not achieved, and the next opportunity may have to wait until three years later.
After returning to the sect, Liang Yan entered the selfless cultivation mode again, working and reading during the day and practicing all night at night.
Two more months passed like this. During these two months, Liang Yan tried various methods to break through the bottleneck, even using some heresies he heard from hearsay. However, his own qualifications were like an invisible shackles, which prevented him from doing so no matter what.
Unable to break through.
That afternoon, after Liang Yan completed his mission as a formation disciple, he did not go to the library to read for the first time. Instead, he wandered alone in the valley without any purpose.
He has failed countless times in trying to reach the realm, and a demonic barrier has arisen in his heart unknowingly. He only feels that the great road of heaven and earth is really ruthless. No matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to fight against this destiny.
Liang Yan was full of thoughts and unknowingly walked into a bamboo forest. He wandered around without knowing where he was.
Suddenly he heard the sound of pebbles colliding deep in the bamboo forest. Driven by curiosity, Liang Yan followed the sound and walked deeper into the forest. When he found the source of the sound, he found two people standing there, one with green clothes and white hair, with a ruddy complexion.
He looks like a young man; the other is a tall and thin middle-aged man with a sallow complexion.
On the ground between the two of them, there were straight scratches like knives, nineteen vertically and horizontally, which turned out to be a Go board.
The young man in green stretched out his hand, cut off a small section from the surrounding bamboo poles, rubbed it in his hands, and then threw it towards the chessboard on the ground. The small section of bamboo pole was burnt to charcoal black and fell on the chessboard.
, for Heizi.
The tall, thin middle-aged man raised his hand and took a stone from the ground into his hand, rubbed it again, and when he threw it onto the chessboard, it was already crystal clear and extremely white. It was a white stone.
At this moment, the chessboard was covered with black and white, and it was obvious that the fighting in this game had reached a fever pitch. Both of them pondered for a long time, and it took them a long time to land a piece.
Liang Yan had nothing to do, so he also watched the battle. He was very smart when he was young. He once learned how to play chess from the teacher in the chess academy in the town. Within two years, he defeated the teacher and defeated him. But he was still young after all.
When I was young, I loved to play, but I couldn’t learn anything for a long time and often gave up halfway. Later I found other fun things and forgot about learning chess.
He watched in front of the chessboard for a long time, and felt that every move made by the two men was incredible, completely subverting his previous understanding.
In the end, the lower it went, the less he could understand it.
Liang Yan was always arrogant and did not even think about the possibility that these two people's chess skills were much better than his own. Instead, he thought that these two people were probably just two bad chess players who learned the skills halfway and played randomly.
He frowned, and after looking at it for a while, he finally couldn't help but said to the side: "This is a mistake for Bai Zixia, because Heizi is going to kill everyone!"
As soon as he said this, he felt that it was inappropriate. It is said that "a true gentleman watches chess but does not speak." Although he thought he was not a gentleman, he should not do such a thing that ruined other people's chess.
Liang Yan looked up at the two people anxiously, only to see that the two of them were still looking at the chessboard with furrowed brows, as if they hadn't heard Liang Yan speak at all.
"Could it be that these two people are deaf?" Liang Yan slandered, "But that's fine, since they didn't hear, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Unexpectedly, just when he was relieved, a voice suddenly came from the side and said: "Hee hee, you are laughing to death, where is this mountain boy who doesn't know how to pretend to understand here?"
The voice was clear and sweet, but it was a female voice.
Liang Yan looked back and saw a girl in white standing not far behind him. She was slim and graceful, and her skin was as white as snow. Especially her face and facial features, carved in pink and jade, were like a peerless treasure.
The girl looked at him with a smile on her face, but Liang Yan could see an obvious look of ridicule on her smiling face.
"Why does this voice sound so familiar?"
Liang Yan was confused and suddenly thought of something. "That's right! It's her!"
It turned out that this girl was none other than the masked woman who stepped in and stole Liang Yan's Barrier-Breaking Pill at the auction that day.
The girl seemed to recognize him and said with a smile: "So it's you, the poor boy who overestimated his ability and competed with me for the Barrier-Breaking Pill that night."
From the moment he met this girl, she was a wild boy on the left and a poor boy on the right. Even though Liang Yan was embarrassed, he became very angry and couldn't help but retaliate: "Who did I think she was? She turned out to be a village woman, but now
A country woman also knows how to be arty and imitate others in watching chess?"
"You!" the girl scolded, and a blush appeared on her face. However, she rolled her eyes, and the gaffeful look on her face disappeared in an instant, and she returned to her previous smile, and she said: "What? I said you
Are you still not convinced with these two sentences? Do you know who those two people are? Even you, a three-legged cat, are showing off your chess skills here."
"Oh? Could you please tell me who these two people are?"
"Listen up, these two are the top-ranked senior brother Lei Hao among the inner disciples of my sect's chess discipline, and the third-ranked senior brother Xu Xianxu!"
"Inner disciple!"
Liang Yan was startled and couldn't help but look towards the two people, only to see that they were still staring at the chessboard in the middle, as if they hadn't noticed the two people here at all.
"No need to look, Senior Brother Lei and Senior Brother Xu have already entered the mental game stage of chess and will not notice you."
Liang Yan couldn't help but blush when she revealed what he was thinking, but he was determined to hold on till the end: "Even seniors from the inner chess sect will make mistakes occasionally. Playing chess is just a matter of talking about it.
The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear?"
After hearing this, the woman in white couldn't help laughing, stroking her belly and laughing,
"By bystander, do you mean you, the bad chess player?"
Liang Yan's face turned livid when she laughed, and he said angrily: "You don't understand anything, why do you think I'm a bad chess player?"
The woman in white finally stopped laughing, and then said: "Okay, since you said I don't understand anything, how about you and I playing a game of Go?"
Liang Yan was stunned. He didn't expect that she would actually challenge him. However, it was a matter of dignity. Of course, he couldn't back down. He immediately raised his chest and said, "It's a competition, but first, let's talk about it. What's the stake?"
"If you win, I will give you the barrier-breaking pill, but if you lose, you have to kowtow three times and call me aunt three times!"
"No!" Liang Yan refused without thinking. It was about the dignity of his family members, and Liang Yan couldn't agree to it.
"You!" The woman in white didn't expect that he refused so simply, and she choked for a moment. But she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "It's not impossible to change the bet. How about this? I heard Master Lin say, you know
The point formation method is superficial, as long as you teach me a few formations, then change the bet to 'respectfully call me senior sister three times'."
"make a deal!"
Liang Yan didn't hesitate this time. He had already gritted his teeth. The so-called old and new grudges were being settled together. This time he would deal with this girl severely on the chessboard.
