High in the sky, a spaceship shimmering with purple light was flying silently.
Inside the flying boat, Wang Chen and Zuo Xiaomo were playing chess.
This purple electric flying boat was seized by Wang Chen from Taoist Xuanyi. It was of a very high grade, so he used it as a means of transportation back to the sect.
Although the interior space of the flying boat is not large, it is very luxuriously decorated and is extremely comfortable for two people to ride together.
Wang Chen and Zuo Xiaomo were playing Tianji Chess, which is very popular in this world.
This kind of chess has a total of 365 pieces, corresponding to the 365 stars in the sky. The gameplay is similar to the Go game played by Wang Chen in his previous life, but it has its own unique set of rules, which tests your brain power.
Since playing chess has nothing to do with the realm of cultivation, theoretically speaking, it is possible for a minor Qi practitioner to defeat the Nascent Soul Immortal on the chessboard.
But in fact this is simply impossible.
There is only one big difference between Wang Chen and Zuo Xiaomo. He is a novice in chess, while the latter has a family background. Therefore, both sides win and lose, and the fight is evenly matched.
"Falling Star."
Wang Chen made a move and sealed Zuo Xiaomo's star bureau and swallowed up most of the latter's stars.
Zuo Xiaomo shook his head, dropped the chess pieces in his hand and admitted defeat.
Wang Chen's progress was really fast. He could basically win at the beginning, but after Wang Chen became familiar with the rules and mastered some skills, his chess ability suddenly increased greatly.
"No more playing."
He smiled bitterly and said: "If you play again, you will lose."
Wang Chen laughed dumbly.
Zuo Xiaomo's character is quite good, and he also has a certain talent for cultivation. However, perhaps because of his superior family background, he does not work hard in cultivation and is a bit happy-go-lucky.
This time I took part in the external examination, mostly because I was forced to do so.
After thinking for a while, Wang Chen took out a copper bell from his storage bag and handed it to the other party: "This is the Five Dragon Flame Shield. You can sacrifice it and take it to the underground palace for self-defense."
Wang Chen became Zuo Xiaomo's protector and had the responsibility to protect his safety during the assessment process.
However, the environment of the Kowloon Underground Palace is extremely complex, and it is impossible to predict what will happen inside, and Wang Chen is not 100% sure that he will be safe and sound.
Therefore, he decided to temporarily lend this protective spiritual weapon to Zuo Xiaomo for use.
"Is this a spiritual weapon?"
Zuo Xiaomo was a good judge and was shocked when he saw the Five Dragon Flame Mask.
Wang Chen nodded: "I have erased the seal inside, you can try it out."
Zuo Xiaomo is a high-level qi-training monk. It is impossible to fully control this high-level spiritual weapon, but he can still barely do it if he only uses the five dragon flame shield to protect himself.
All he had to do was stand up when he was in danger and buy time for Wang Chen to rescue him.
"Senior Brother Wang..."
Zuo Xiaomo was moved to tears.
This is a spiritual weapon, and it is a very high-grade spiritual weapon, and its value is extraordinary.
Wang Chen actually lent it to him like this.
If Zuo Xiaomo had been born a girl, she would probably have given her life to her on the spot.
"Needless to say."
Wang Chen, however, was given goosebumps by the look in his eyes, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "I just lent it to you."
Of course Zuo Xiaomo knew that Wang Chen lent it to him.
Despite this, the gratitude in his heart was beyond words, and he felt that knowing Wang Chen was the greatest luck in his life.
....In order to live up to Wang Chen's care for him, Zuo Xiaomo concentrated on practicing and becoming familiar with the Five Dragon Flame Shield during the rest of the journey, and was determined to pass this assessment.
Only by becoming a formal disciple and working hard to break through the body and join the inner sect can he possibly repay Wang Chen's kindness!
In order to give Zuo Xiaomo more time, Wang Chen deliberately slowed down the speed of the purple electric flying boat.
The purple electric flying boat can be driven by the controller's mana or spiritual stones. The latter requires medium-grade spiritual stones, just like Wang Chen's BBA in his previous life, which requires higher-grade gasoline.
Although Wang Chen seized a large number of medium-grade spiritual stones this time, he was reluctant to take some out for traveling.
He was happy to move forward at a low speed and use his own magic power to support the movement of the airship.
This continued for several days, until the last part of the journey, before Wang Chen activated the magic circle in the flying boat.
This high-level spiritual boat instantly turned into a stream of purple light and flew towards the core hinterland of Zhongzhou.
…
The first day of April, Chen hour.
Three hundred miles south of Wanling City is Xucheng, the ancient capital.
The morning light shines on the huge ruins, covering the ruins with a pale golden coat. The mist that shrouds the ruins gradually dissipates, revealing its true appearance of vicissitudes of life.
Thousands of years ago, this place was once the capital of an earthly fairy kingdom, which was then destroyed in an earth-shattering war.
After the Xihai Sect established its sect in Xihai, it eliminated the evil spirits entrenched in the ruins.
And the Kowloon Underground Palace was excavated.
The Kowloon Underground Palace is actually a very large secret realm, because special restrictions are placed inside. The higher the monk's level, the greater the suppression he will receive in the underground palace.
Therefore, it has become a place of trial and mission for Xihai Sect disciples.
However, for hundreds of years, the Xihaizong's exploration of the Kowloon Underground Palace was still limited to a part, probably not even a tenth.
The deeper areas are still shrouded in fog.
Perhaps in order to speed up the progress of development and exploration, the Xihaizong did not regard the Kowloon Underground Palace as a forbidden place. Outside casual cultivators only need to pay a sum of spiritual stones to explore.
So when Wang Chen and Zuo Xiaomo arrived at the ancient capital city, the place was already bustling with people.
Especially at the entrance of the underground palace, a large number of outer disciples of the Xihai Sect gathered in a dark place.
And the monks from Zifu!
Apparently they were all disciples who had come to take the external examination, as well as their guardians.
Wang Chen noticed that not all the assessment disciples were accompanied by guardians, and there were also many who were alone.
This is actually quite normal. Those who can afford or hire monks from the Purple Mansion to serve as guardians are basically the children of aristocratic families, or the second generation of immortals.
If you have no power, no power, and no spiritual stone, then you can only risk your own life to fight for a bright future!
And when Wang Chen and Zuo Xiaomo appeared in front of the underground palace, dozens of strange eyes immediately fell on the two of them.
Surprise, doubt, resentment, gloominess...
This guy is quite capable of drawing hatred!
Wang Chen thought secretly.
"Senior Brother Zuo."
At this moment, a clear and sweet voice suddenly came from the side.
"Junior sister Lingshan!"
Zuo Xiaomo looked at the pretty girl who appeared in front of him in surprise: "Why are you here?"
The girl's pretty face turned red: "I, I came to see the excitement."
Clearly insincere.
Wang Chen calmly took a few steps back, leaving space for the other two.
This girl is obviously the daughter of the Lu family who fell in love with Zuo Xiaomo. It is said that she has a high talent for cultivation and is regarded as the seed of the golden elixir, with an unlimited future.
The number of unkind glances from the surroundings increased several times in an instant!
