Peerless Taoist

However, in Lu Yu's eyes, it was as if countless paths had appeared in front of him, leading to the depths of the grand formation.    

Lu Yu walked and stopped, changing directions from time to time. Finally, everything in front of him became clear, and a green mountain and green valley appeared in front of him.    

This place was very quiet and serene. As soon as he stepped in, he felt a wave of dense Spiritual Qi assaulting his face.    

In the open space of the valley, there was a stone pavilion.    

On top of the stone pavilion, a white-haired old man sat in the stone pavilion. In front of him was a chessboard.    

The chessboard was carved on the stone table. The stone was covered with traces of time. It was obvious that it was very ancient.    

On the other side of the chessboard, Tan'er was playing chess with the old man.    

Looking at Tan'er's expression, she was already extremely focused. Her pretty face was already flushed red.    

Lu Yu walked forward, but found that the game was approaching its end.    

Tan'er's pieces had been mostly eaten. It was only a matter of time before she lost.    

Tan Er was startled when she saw Lu Yu.    

"Why are you here? Hurry up and leave!" Tan Er said anxiously.    

She was already overwhelmed by the game and had no time to pay attention to Lu Yu.    

If she could not break the game laid down by the old man in front of her, Tan Er would not be able to obtain the Dragon Stabilising Sword.    

However, Tan Er had already lost seventy-nine games.    

The old man seemed to be very patient. Every time Tan'er lost the game, he could replay it.    

However, Tan'er was burning with anxiety because every time she played chess, she would need to consume a large amount of spiritual energy.    

Tan'er had already rested a few times, but she still felt a little dizzy. She saw that the game in her hands was about to lose.    

Smack!    

At this moment, the old man suddenly placed a piece.    

When this piece landed, Tan'er's situation had already been completely reversed. She had already lost.    

"One more round!" Tan Er's eyes were red.    

The reason why she was chosen by Northern Chill as a disciple was because of her young talent, displaying extraordinary wisdom at a very young age.    

Very few people were able to defeat her in terms of intelligence.    

However, from the old man, Tan Er suddenly felt a sense of despair.    

At this moment, a hand was placed on Tan Er's shoulder. Lu Yu walked forward and said faintly, "You are too tired. Rest for a while."    

"You don't need to interfere here. Go to the side and wait for me." Tan Er was a little impatient.    

She was still unconvinced in her heart. If she lost to the old man on the chessboard, she would definitely not be convinced.    

Lu Yu shook his head. He could already tell that Tan Er was already at the end of her rope.    

Without wasting any time with her, Lu Yu attacked her directly. He struck Tan Er's body with a spell, causing her to fall unconscious.    

Although a cultivator's mental energy was much stronger than a mortal's, the continuous high consumption of mental energy was also a huge damage to her soul.    

Putting Tan Er lightly on the side of the pavilion, Lu Yu looked at the white-haired old man.    

"Come, let's play chess."    

The old man's voice was calm, without any hint of hostility.    

Lu Yu did not hesitate. He sat in front of the old man and placed the chess piece in his hand.    

Seeing that Lu Yu did not ask anything, the white-haired old man was slightly surprised.    

However, this surprised expression only paused for a moment before it was immediately attracted by the chess game in front of him and continued playing.    

Very quickly, a trace of seriousness appeared on the old man's face.    

The speed at which the two of them played chess was very fast. Each time they placed a piece, it was as if they did not think about it.    

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, a loud rumble suddenly came from the chessboard.    

A crack appeared on the surface of the chessboard.
