Chapter 20 Gambling

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 spiritual stones. Two hundred and sixty is already a very outrageous price. If you are the one being taken advantage of, it is easy for other people to spy on you.

Liang Yan knew very well that wealth should not be revealed. He was just an ordinary handyman disciple, and being able to produce more than a hundred spiritual stones was already his limit. If you bid any higher, I'm afraid it will 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 didn't expect that a barrier-breaking pill would fetch such a price, and he looked beaming. After three countdowns, it was announced that the barrier-breaking pill belonged to 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 nothing to do. I can only give up in frustration 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 achievement, etc.

Although Liang Yan managed to cope with it on the surface, he was extremely disappointed in his heart. The biggest purpose of coming out this time was not achieved, and the next chance 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.

Another two months passed like this. During these two months, Liang Yan tried various methods to break through the bottleneck, even using some hearsay and heresy. But his own qualifications are like an invisible shackles that he cannot break through no matter what.

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 had failed countless times to break through the realm, and a demonic barrier had unknowingly arisen in his heart. I just feel 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 stones 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 was in green clothes and had white hair, with a rosy complexion like a teenager; the other was a tall and thin middle-aged man with a sallow face.

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 after a small flame rose. The small piece of bamboo pole was burnt into charcoal black and fell on the chessboard as a black piece.

The tall, thin middle-aged man raised his hand and took a stone from the ground into his hand. He rubbed it again and threw it onto the chessboard. It was already crystal clear and extremely white. It was a white stone.

At this moment, the chessboard is covered with black and white, and it is obvious that this game of fighting has reached a fever pitch. Both of them pondered for a long time, and it took them a long time to make a decision.

Liang Yan, who had nothing to do, also watched the battle from the sidelines. He was very smart when he was young. He once learned to play chess from the teacher in the chess academy in the town. Within two years, he defeated the teacher and completely defeated him. But after all, he is young and loves to play. He can't learn anything for a long time and often gives up halfway. Later, I found other fun things to do and put learning chess behind me.

He watched in front of the chessboard for a long time, and felt that every move made by the two of them was incredible, completely subverting his previous understanding.

In the end, the lower it went, the less he understood.

Liang Yan was always proud and did not even think about the possibility that these two people were far better than him in chess skills. Instead, he thought that these two people were probably just two bad chess players who were learning the skills halfway and playing randomly.

He frowned, and after looking at it for a while, he finally couldn't help but said from the side: "This is a mistake for Bai Zixia, because Heizi is going to kill everyone!"

As soon as he said this, he felt 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 shouldn't do such a thing that ruined the game.

Liang Yan looked up at the two people anxiously, but saw that the two of them were still looking at the chessboard in front of them with furrowed brows, as if they had not heard Liang Yan speak at all.

"Could these two people be deaf?" Liang Yan slandered, "But that's fine, since they didn't hear, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Unexpectedly, just when he felt relieved, a voice suddenly came from the side and said: "Hehe, you are laughing so hard at me, 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, with a slim figure and skin as white as snow. Especially the face and facial features, carved from pink and jade, are 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 that day at the auction.

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 looked like 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, a blush rising on her face. However, she rolled her eyes, and the gloomy look on her face disappeared in an instant, and she returned to her previous smiling look, and she said, "What? You're still not convinced after I told you a few words? Do you know who those two people are? It's you." This three-legged cat is also showing off its chess skills here."

"Oh? Could you please tell me who these two people are?"

"Listen up, these two people are Senior Brother Lei Hao, who is ranked number one among the inner disciples of our chess sect, and Senior Brother Xu Xian, who is ranked third!"

"Inner disciple!"

Liang Yan was startled and couldn't help but look at the two people. He saw that the two of them were still staring at the chessboard in the middle, as if they didn't notice the two people here at all.

"There's no need to look, Senior Brother Lei and Senior Brother Xu have entered the mental stage of chess and won't notice you."

Liang Yan couldn't help but blush when she revealed what he was thinking, but he made up his mind to hold on till the end: "Even seniors from the inner sect of chess will make mistakes occasionally. Playing chess is just about 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,

"When you say 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 call me 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 contest, but let's agree first. 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 him to refuse so simply, and she choked for a moment. However, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "It's not impossible to change the bet. Let's do this. I heard Master Lin say that you know the basics of point formation. As long as you teach me a few formations, I will change the bet to ' Just call me "Senior Sister'" three times respectfully."

"make a deal!"

Liang Yan didn't hesitate this time. He had already gritted his teeth. The so-called old and new grudges should be settled together. This time he would punish the girl severely on the chessboard.
