Chapter 404 The Most Enjoyable Ancient Cultivator

Xu Hengliang: "I said let me pinch you, not let you pinch me."

Nangong Wanyu rolled her eyes at him.

"I won't let you pinch me, I'd rather you pinch me."

Now you're certain that all of this is true.

However, Wanwan's warship needs a lot of spirit stones, so Wanwan can keep these spirit stones. Let's go find some usable rare and precious materials, preferably some spiritual treasures or the like.

Xu Hengliang nodded.

"Now that you mention it, it's true. Junior Uncle, please keep this. If we encounter danger in the future, using the warship will consume the most spirit stones. Giving you these spirit stones can save our lives."

Jiang Wan stroked her chin.

"I'm thinking, if we can pry off the top-grade spirit stones on these, wouldn't the main hall collapse if we took away these four pillars?"

Xu Hengliang and Nangong Wanyu exchanged a glance.

"That's true, but it's alright. We can take it when we leave. Let's leave it here for now. Hopefully, no other cultivators will be so clever as to take it."

Jiang Wan felt it was hard to say, but taking it away now would be risky, so she released Xuanwu to keep watch over the area.

"Let's go. I'll release Xuanwu here. If anyone tries to take these pillars, Xuanwu will stop them."

If his strength is insufficient, Xuanwu can also store these four pillars into the space within his body.

Dongchen nodded.

"That's indeed a solution. Let's take another look inside."

As the group entered, they found that even the floor beneath their feet was made of fine white jade.

"Could the senior of this cave dwelling be someone's spoiled brat?"
So extravagant?

The white jade on the ground looks like the best quality; I even wanted to pry it off.

So compared to the owner of the cave, we're practically penniless!

Jiang Wan finally understood. The system must have thought she was too poor, so it gave her a map of a wealthy cave.

The system really put a lot of thought into this!

system:【……】

As Jiang Wan and her group entered, a huge chessboard appeared before them, covered with black and white pieces. The white pieces in front of them were even taller than Jiang Wan herself.

Leaping onto the chess piece with ease is like climbing a small mountain.

Xu Hengliang cried out.

"These aren't just white jade chess pieces, they're clearly old mine ice jadeite! No wonder I can't put this thing in my storage ring!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wan tried it herself, and indeed the chess piece could not be put away, and she even moved it.

"Hey, why is this chess piece moving?"
Are they playing chess?

Who is the player wielding the pieces, and who are the pieces?

Lu Zhiyi, who was usually quiet, couldn't help but speak up.

"We are now on the chess pieces, so who do you think is a chess piece?"

Xu Hengliang steadied himself and was led aside by the chess piece.

Then he used his spiritual power to change the direction of the chess piece.

"Hey, now we're the ones holding the pieces, and the direction of the pieces can be changed."

"Hey, Dongchen Little Sword Immortal, move your white stone three steps to the left."

Upon hearing this, Dongcheng immediately activated his skills and moved three spaces to the left.

"You know how to play chess. How good are you at it?"

Xu Hengliang: "I don't know how to play, but it just so happens that the few of us are all together."

Dongchen: My silence is deafening.

Jiang Wan: "...I don't know how to play chess either. Who among you knows how to play chess?"

Nangong Wanyu couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm only a few years old. I'm busy cultivating all day long. I don't have time to learn how to play chess."

Oh no, what should we do?
"We're all just kids, none of us know how to play chess well or are particularly skilled. I'm afraid we can't beat the black pieces on the other side, can we?"

Xu Hengliang sat down on his chess piece. "It's over. Needless to say, we definitely can't beat them. One is focused on alchemy, and the other is focused on swordsmanship."

"We two know absolutely nothing, Junior Uncle,"

Jiang Wan: "Don't call me, I don't know either. This isn't something you can just know how to do; you have to be an expert."

"As for playing Gomoku normally, forget it."

"What should we do?
We can't just let this unknown force take us by the nose, can we?

Could they be leading us astray?

I wonder what the punishment will be if we lose.

Jiang Wan glanced at him speechlessly.

"You seem quite excited about it."

Since none of us know how to play, let's just ignore it and control our pieces to charge forward!

Nangong Wanyu immediately moved the chess piece to Jiang Wan's side.

"Okay, that's a good idea."

Jiang Wan took the lead, and the group rushed forward together, ignoring the direction the black-clad figures were taking. Their main strategy was to charge recklessly without any strategy.

Their moves infuriated the person in control of the game.

"A bunch of brats, how dare you run around like this! If you can't play chess, get out of here!"

The voice was powerful, but Jiang Wan took the lead and broke through the formation, leading the four behind her to the black side.

He also casually reached out and collected all the black pieces.

The spirit manifested by that voice was actually a handsome man with an air of otherworldly elegance.

The man stood with his head bowed, looking at Jiang Wan and the others.

"I have waited a thousand years, but what comes in are just some children."

"However, you little ones, how come you are so talented at such a young age?"

Jiang Wan: "Because we are the chosen ones of the Eastern Fence Continent!"

"What good things do you have, elders? What do you want to pass on? Whoever is suitable to inherit it can do so, so they can leave in peace."

Jiang Wan really wanted to say that. The old man opposite her glanced at them and knew that Jiang Wan had the highest cultivation level, but his gaze fell on Xu Hengliang.

“This child is worthy to inherit my mantle.”

Xu Hengliang immediately knelt on the flag and kowtowed.

"Master, please accept my bow."

The spirits laughed when they saw him like that.

"You don't even know what my legacy is, yet you kneel down so readily. You'll have to learn from me properly from now on."

Xu Hengliang immediately made a promise.

"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely study hard."

"Hahaha, good, I have finally found a successor. You may take the rest yourself."

It's unbelievably simple.

Xu Hengliang: "That's it?"

The old man's spirit flew to Xu Hengliang's side.

“This chess game is my legacy. I see that you have a pure mind and are quite skilled in formations. You are very suitable to learn my exquisite chess game.”

Xu Hengliang tilted his head, looking at the chess game?

The old man could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

"You think this game is just a simple game? If it weren't for you little guys who came today, they would have all studied it carefully and become completely lost in the maze."

Who would have thought that you little rascals would charge straight at us like that? You're just using brute force to break through all laws.

Not to mention that this little girl's cultivation level is as high as her father's. After thinking about it, I realized that I don't have much time left.

Secondly, the chances of being able to deal with her are slim, so it's better to skip the complicated procedures and directly pass on the mantle.

Jiang Wan: This is truly the most enjoyable ancient cultivator and cave dwelling owner I've ever encountered through my own exploration.
