Chapter 1143 - Psyche (continued)

It was not a secret in the cultivation world that the Jun Shan Dao Ancestor of the Western Mountain Madame Yang Family loved to play chess. However, there were not many people who knew that he loved to play chess because she wanted to deduce the path of array formations.

However, by relying on Yang Junshan’s extraordinary status in the Yang family, the previous reason was enough for the entire Madame Yang to go down.

There were many people in the Yang family who liked to play chess, and there were even more who knew how to play chess. There were even some chess competitions in the Yang family, and they were all organized by some senior cultivators who liked to play chess.

“However, my son’s chess skills are quite good. He was once able to beat a Martial Realm Cultivator in the family in a game of chess.” Yang Lijun had just scolded his son a few times before he started praising him again.

Yang Junshan was startled upon hearing this, the important thing about chess was that the player had to know the way, and because the Martial Realm Cultivator had opened his mind, he had a natural advantage in chess calculations. No matter how talented a child was in chess, it would still be interesting if he could win against a few mortal experts.

A neighbor who knew his place immediately mocked him, “You’re not bad at chess, but you’re basically playing chess. How much money did you win from our children with your chess skills?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Wasn’t the chess game that he won against Yang Liqin because he was drunk?”

“Ha, I heard that your son, Yang Li Qin, had bet fifteen stone coins on fifteen Jade Coins s, and in the end let him win all of a sudden. Liu Lang, your cultivation has also risen to the fifth stage of the Mortal Realm, don’t you think that you have benefited from your son’s fifteen Jade Coins s?”

Yang Lijun’s face turned red as he said, “You are all bullsh * t. Yang Liqin wasn’t drunk.”

When everyone heard this, they burst out into laughter. Yang Lijun had only said that Yang Liqin wasn’t drunk, but he didn’t dare say that his cultivation was not related to his son’s victory over the fifteen Jade Coins.

As for him repeatedly saying that Yang Liqin wasn’t drunk, the others didn’t believe him. Even if they weren’t cultivators, each of them were mortals with close relationships with cultivators, and even if they didn’t have enough experience, they weren’t unfamiliar with cultivation. No one believed that an eight or nine year old child could win over a Martial Realm Cultivator who had opened his spirit sense.

Yang Lijun might not be able to see it, but Yang Junshan’s gaze had already passed through the bustling crowd in the plaza and saw that on a ground far away, there were a few children gathering to play chess. One of the children had a square face withree parts of an ear, a simple and honest look on his face, but his eyes were extremely spirited, while the youth sitting opposite to him scratched his ears and cheeks, looking like he was on fire.

“Aiya, this time, it’s Uncle Qin Yan’s turn to be the master of the family’s skill transfer hall!”

Yang Lijun’s soft shout once again attracted Yang Junshan’s attention.

Yang Junshan looked up and saw a few cultivators dressed in the robes of the elite disciples and core disciples walking out from the stage in the center of the plaza. The first two people he recognized were Yang Qin Cong, who had reached realms of life.

On the other hand, a cultivator in his thirties that followed behind him looked a little familiar to Yang Junshan, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen him before.

However, following Yang Lijun’s soft exclamation, many of the surrounding parents who were waiting for the spiritual cavities test began to discuss among themselves.

“What, do you have any objections to this cultivator Yang Qinyan becoming the child’s master?” Yang Junshan asked somewhat curiously.

Yang Lijun had a complicated look on his face as he said: “It’s not that I have any objections, but this uncle clan’s reputation among the clan’s several teachers is rather complex.”

“Oh, this reputation is either good or bad. How did it become complicated?” Yang Junshan’s interest was immediately piqued.

Yang Lijun explained, “This uncle has been working aeacher for the past few years in the Technique Hall, and among the disciples that have come out under his command, the percentage of them that have become the elite disciples of the family is the highest.”

Yang Junshan heard and said: “Hey, isn’t this good? It means that this professor’s disciple is very skilled.”

Yang Lijun shook his head, and said: “If only it was like that, all these years, with this uncle as the master, he had at least twenty elite disciples under his command, but among these disciples, not a single one was a core disciple!”

Yang Junshan was startled for a moment, and said: “It can’t be that there’s some sort of scheme, could it be that this person who offended some kind of high ranking official in the family has gotten himself involved with his disciple?”

This is something I have never heard of before, but there iumor circulating around the family’s Technique Hall, saying that this uncle is good at teaching disciples with low aptitude, he is usually able to train some of the originally highly regarded disciples into surprising elite disciples, but those disciples with outstanding aptitude and good comprehension have lost their original spirituality after being taught by him for two years. This way, the Technique Hall has a saying that Uncle Qin Yan is not good at teaching genius disciples.

This time, even Yang Junshan did not know what to say.

“Speaking of which, in the past, this uncle also had a period of glory in the clan!” Yang Lijun said with a sigh.

“Oh, how so?” Yang Junshan casually asked.

“It is said that in the past, this uncle was first in the family’s elite disciples competition and became a core disciple of the family. Foime, he was in the limelight. Do you know who was the one that was suppressed by him all those years ago?” Yang Lijun had an encouraging look on his face.

Yang Junshan would naturally not disappoint anyone, and asked: “Who is it?”

Yang Lijun let out a “heh” and said: “That year, in the elite competition, the one who was ranked second was called Feng Yuankun, and his teacher was the clan’s elder, the Adept Zhou Yi. That is a Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivator! Right now, Feng Yuankun is already a Adept Realm Cultivator! ”

“Oh!” Yang Junshan of course knew Feng Yuankun.

“But do you know who’s ranked third?”

This time, Yang Lijun did not use Yang Junshan to reply, and directly said: “If I say it, I will scare you to death!”

“The third person is called Su Changan. He is the eldest disciple of the clan’s ancestor, the Daofather Jun Shan. He is now even more so a Astral Transformation Realm cultivator!”

Yang Lijun did not care about the expression on Yang Junshan’s face, and said excitedly: “Think about it, what kind of existence was it that was suppressed by Senior Master Qin Yan that year? But today, he has advanced into the realms of life one after another, or even become the head of a town, while he is still staying in the Cultivation Hall as a small teacher. Even those cultivators of the same generation that have entered the Artifact Forging Hall, Talisman Forging Hall, and Pill Refining Room back then are all doing much better than him. ”

Later on, someone said that it was not because of his high aptitude that Uncle Qin Yan was able to obtain the first place among the elite disciples, but because he was the oldest and had trained for the longest period of time, and even after he became a core disciple, he was quickly left behind by others. Amongst the cultivators who were similar in age, he was always at the bottom of the ladder, and even his current cultivation of the fourth stage of the martial arts realm was stuck at the bottleneck two years ago.

Yang Junshan nodded his head, his gaze passing through the crowd on the plaza and landing on the younger generation disciple who had left some impression on him. He remembered that there was a magical equipment called the “Little Western Mountain Seal” on his body.

But Yang Lijun just let out a “heh” sound and said: “What are you thinking about, that kid of mine hasn’t even tested his immortal spiritual cavities yet, who knows what talent he has? From my grandfather’s perspective, my family has grade four and five talents, and moreover, the location of the Spiritual Aperture is not that good either. It would already be good if I had a Spiritual Aperture on me, could it be that I can measure a level one or two talent, or that the Spiritual Aperture will appear in my internal organs or something of importance? ”

At this time, Yang Junshan laughed, and said: “Brother Yang, you can line up first, and I will not hide it from you. I am also a good chess player, after listening to what you have to say, I can’t help myself, there are a few chessboards over there, I’ll go and enjoy myself first.”

Yang Junshan immediately took his leave, and Yang Lijun’s voice came from behind: “Brother Yang, please do not bet with your children!”

As Yang Xuanji picked up the chess pieces from the chessboard that were full of holes, he also picked up the five stone coins that were thrown down from the opposing side. Just now, when Yang Xuanji picked up the chess pieces from the chessboard, he had also picked up the five stone coins that was thrown down from the opposing side.

In the past two years, he had risen in the board by too much, and he had often dropped people in mid-game. It was hard to avoid his expression as he crushed a few pieces, and when he used his strength to press down on the board when he was playing chess, it was nothing out of the ordinary. Even though playing chess was a very pleasurable and heavenly thing, but all he could do was let the anger of this group of people burn him.

Just as he was cleaning up the chessboard, a figure was already seated across him.

Yang Xuanji did not even raise his eyelids, and said: “If you want to come down with me, be ilate of five stone coins from your clan, or a plate of ten stone coins from people with another surname.”

Yang Junshan was startled, but soon after, he became awkward: Stone coins? How could he have that on him?

Yang Xuanji didn’t hear the person opposite him speak and couldn’t help but raise his head to take a look. He saw a young man around the age of twenty and couldn’t help but be startled. Let’s talk about the ten Jade Coins s first. If you have the Spiritual Awareness, then I will only give you ten stone coins if you lose. ”

Yang Junshan was still embarrassed, he did not have any Jade Coins on him.

His eyes finally lit up as he said, “How about this, look at how badly damaged your chess board is, and how many pieces of chess are broken. If you can beat me in a game, how about I give you a good chess board and two jars of chess pieces?”

Noticing Yang Xuanji’s suspicious look, Yang Junshan added: “It must be harder than your game. It won’t be broken into a complete mess after just a few pieces of chess.”

Yang Xuanji glanced at him, picked up a black piece and placed it on the Go board, saying: “You are intelligent, and older than me, you have to go first!”

Even though there were three sets of formation arrays used to test the Immortal Spirit Aperture, perhaps due to the host, the process of the examination was not hurried nor slow. However, the parents who were waiting in line at the back were not anxious, who would not want their children to stay in the formation for a while longer, not to mention that Yang Qinyan, who presided over the examination, was known for being extremely slow and meticulous.

When it was Yang Xuanji’s turn, he heard Yang Liqin shouting at the side of the plaza for him to quickly participate in the exam.

But at this moment, Yang Junshan was looking at Yang Xuanji, who was sweating profusely and was tightly grabbing onto a few black pearls.

“It’s the middle dragon slaying again. Weird, why is it the middle dragon slaying again. Moreover, it’s almost the same every time, so what’s wrong with it?”

Yang Junshan swept his hand across the Go Board and the Go Board instantly fell into chaos.

“What are you doing!”

Yang Xuanji was enraged, he extended his hand to grab onto Yang Junshan’s hand, but how could he hold on to that hand?

“Child, it’s time for you to go test your immortal spirit cavities.” Yang Junshan said warmly.

Yang Xuanji looked at the Go board in front of him, then turned to look at Yang Lijun who was a little anxious. A look of nostalgia surfaced in his eyes, but he still started to count the stone coins from his waist pocket.

In just half a day’s time, he had actually played three games of chess with Yang Junshan. Every time they had just arrived at the middle of the game, he would become a dragon and would lose miserably, but every time, he felt helpless and could only sit by and watch himself walk down the old path.

It had to be known that even if he won a great match with someone, it would be impossible for him to complete three rounds of chess in such a short amount of time. This could only mean that the gap between him and the opponent was too great, to the point where he believed that it was impossible for the opponent to even allow him to win two words.

After offering the thirty stone coins that he had won over the past two days, Yang Xuanji did not even care about the pain in his heart. Right now, his mind was filled with the three pieces of chess that had just been oppressed by the other party.

Yang Junshan kept the thirty stone coins, looked at the Go board, which had a few more holes in it, and a few more chess pieces that had been smashed into pieces. He then took out a blue stone board from his sleeve, and two black and white chess pieces, and said: “Son, I’ll give this to you.”

Yang Xuanji’s gaze was scattered, obviously still in a state of unease. However, he still shook his head instinctively and said: “I’ve lost, there’s no reason for me to take your Go board anymore.”

Yang Junshan laughed and raised the chess board that was just playing, causing it to break into pieces and he said: “Look, your chess board has been broken for a long time, this piece is for you as compensation, your father is already anxious for you, quickly go over there, that’s right, remember to play chess with your teacher, you must remember this!”

“Oh,” Yang Xuanji unwittingly replied. When he turned his head to see that his father was already panicking, he directly carried the Go Board and walked towards the plaza: “Alright, thanks!”
