Zhou Yang complained endlessly in his heart. It turned out that the deacon just asked him to play chess. This would not delay things.
"Well, my little friend is out of shape today! What, is there something on your mind?" The two of them played dozens of moves back and forth. Cheng Yidao clearly felt that Zhou Yang's chess style was very different from the previous one, so he frowned and asked.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Zhou Yang said hurriedly.
"Oh. Then just concentrate on playing chess."
"yes."
It was already noon when the game of chess was finished.
"Hahaha, so happy, so happy! My little friend, today's game has made me feel suddenly enlightened and I have benefited a lot." Cheng Yidao laughed, very happy.
"My lord's chess skills are extraordinary, and I admire you very much."
"Come on, although you are no longer in good condition, but when it comes to Yidao, you are far above me, so stop flattering me!" Cheng Yidao waved his hand and said freely.
"My lord is humbled."
"My little friend, my chess skills are low and obviously not as good as yours. I am naturally open-minded, so I am not competitive."
Zhou Yang was confused for a while, wondering what he meant by these words.
"This game of chess is just like life. If the difference in strength is too big, you will know that you will lose. Of course, people who understand will know how to choose to protect themselves, don't you think?" Cheng Yidao used chess as a metaphor for people, which seemed to be telling a truth.
"What your Excellency said is absolutely true." Zhou Yang heard something in his words, but didn't understand the meaning. He could only nod in agreement.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. We, the people in this realm, have no appetite for food, but today, when my little friend comes here, I should treat him with good food and wine. It can be regarded as a little bit of my heart, ah, haha."
"You're welcome, sir. I'd better not disturb you anymore, junior!" Zhou Yang stood up and declined.
"Hey, let's settle down as we come. You and I are talking about chess. We've hit it off so well that we can be considered good friends. I'm going to have a few big drinks today!" Cheng Yidao waved his hand for Zhou Yang to sit down.
"Then thank you for your affection and hospitality." Zhou Yang had no choice but to sit down again.
Not long after, a table full of delicacies was placed, including everything from flying in the sky, walking on the ground, and swimming in the sea.
Cang Beast Palace is worthy of being the gate for raising spiritual beasts. The meat on the table cannot be made in other sects.
The banquet was served, but Cheng Yidao still sat in his original position, chatting with Zhou Yang without any intention of serving it.
"Oh, an old friend will be here soon, let's wait a moment." Cheng Yidao put down the tea cup and said.
"Yes." Zhou Yang suddenly realized that he was waiting for someone.
"Lao Cheng, please wait a long time, hahaha!" Not long after, hearty laughter came from outside the door.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open and a burly man stepped in.
This man was over ten feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, fine eyebrows and round eyes, a full beard, and a loud voice that shook your eardrums.
Zhou Yang felt a shock in his heart. This guy obviously didn't have much cultivation, but the pressure he exerted on people was too strong!
"Haha, Sikong, if it's a little later, we'll have enough to eat and drink!" Cheng Yidao stood up and said with a smile.
"Who cares about your fair share of meat and wine? We've long been tired of it. By the way, this is your little chess friend?" The big man must have a good relationship with Cheng Yidao. He speaks openly and straight to the point.
"Yes, he is Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang, this is my good friend, Sikong Dou of Juding City." Cheng Yidao introduced.
"I've met Senior Sikong!" Zhou Yang saluted hurriedly.
"Sit down, sit down!" Sikong Dou waved his hand and sat down in the middle with a golden sword.
"I won't drink anymore, let's get straight to the point." After Cheng Yidao and Zhou Yang sat down, Sikong Dou came up and said.
"Hey, Sikong, why can't you change your short temper? You have to drink a glass of wine to wash yourself off!" Cheng Yidao couldn't laugh or cry.
"Why are you drinking with a junior! I have a high-grade magic weapon here, and I'll exchange it for you. Take it!" After saying that, Sikong Dou threw something towards Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang was stunned and had to reach out to pick it up. At the same time, he was surprised, what can I exchange with this senior?
What he was holding in his hand at this time was a rectangular magic weapon. It was not big in size, about half a foot long. It was silver-white in color and shimmering. Judging from the faint aura it emits, it should be a gold magic weapon.
"Senior, this..." Zhou Yang held the magic weapon in his hand and was at a loss.
"It seems that Lao Cheng didn't make it clear to you! The body-forging technique, I will use this magic weapon to exchange for your body-forging technique." Sikong Dou glanced at him and said calmly.
There was a buzz in Zhou Yang's mind. Sikong Dou had come all the way for his Earth Fire Body Tempering Technique!
No wonder Deacon Cheng had spoken to him overtly and secretly. It turned out that he was just setting the stage.
The embarrassment on Deacon Cheng's face flashed away, and he laughed and said: "Haha, sit down first, sit down first, this matter is not urgent, not urgent."
"You are mature, this is not your character! He is just a junior, and giving him a magic weapon is already too high. If it weren't for your face, it would have been saved." Sikong Dou said dissatisfied.
"Sikong, what are you talking about! Zhou Yang is my mature friend. Even if you try to rob him, you can't rob him!" Cheng Yidao said with a serious face.
"Okay, Lao Cheng, I'll give you face, so I won't embarrass your chess friends. How about I add a high-grade magic shield?" After that, Sikong Jie took another shot.
"Zhou Yang, my old friend has a bad temper, but he is not a bad person. You should be more tolerant. It's my fault for not explaining it clearly. That's it. Sikong is a practitioner of both Dharma and Body, with physical cultivation as the main focus. I am extremely obsessed with the body-forging technique. I went to Juding to visit a friend before, and I accidentally mentioned this matter, and Sikong took notice of it. I was entangled by him, so I agreed, so don’t blame me for being troublesome!" Cheng Yidao started to smooth things over again.
"Master Deacon, I..." Zhou Yang was very embarrassed when he heard this.
Uncle Master had warned him to be careful about this matter before, but he didn't take it to heart. Now his words finally came true and Uncle Master told him. As expected, someone took note of his body-forging secret technique.
Cheng Yidao waved his hand, and then said: "My little friend, you make your own decision. If you feel that Sikong's conditions are low, you can make other demands. As long as I am here, he will not force anything!"
Zhou Yang felt bitter in his heart, with you two big guys here, how dare I disagree!
Cheng Yidao didn't seem to notice Zhou Yang's expression, and continued: "Although Sikong is in the early stage of Tianyuan, with his dual cultivation of law and body, he can easily defeat the middle stage cultivators of Tianyuan. Even against the masters of the later stage, it is more than enough."
When Zhou Yang heard this, his face turned pale, and he was shocked. He didn't expect that practitioners of both law and body could be so powerful and could fight across two major levels. This was simply unbelievable in his imagination.
Judging from Cheng Yidao's realm and character, he would never lie.
But you don’t need to say anything, I can’t afford to offend you at the early stage of Tianyuan, let alone the combat power of the later stage.
His mind was spinning, but he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.
"Well! Junior, do you think a certain family has no temper?" Seeing that Zhou Yang was still hesitating, Sikong stood up and shouted angrily.
Zhou Yang felt a buzzing sound and his ears were almost deafened by the shock. He hurriedly said: "Senior, please calm down and let me explain the whole story in detail."
"If you have something to say, say it, if you have something to say, let it go!" Sikong Dou glared at him, his voice still as loud as a bell.
"The junior's body-forging technique was acquired accidentally. I practiced it randomly, but it didn't have much effect. Fortunately, I didn't die that day. It was because the junior used a medium-grade magic weapon to resist, but it was just a residual power. Deacon Cheng can testify to this. !" Zhou Yang said hurriedly.
"Oh, Lao Cheng, is what he said true?" Sikong Dou glanced at him and turned to ask Deacon Xiang Cheng.
"Oh, it's true, of course it's true." Cheng Yidao nodded, and then said: "Zhou Yang's magic shield was hit repeatedly that day, and finally it couldn't withstand the high-grade magic shield's lasing, and then it exploded. It's true. It’s caused by the remaining power, it’s caused by the remaining power.”
"Yeah, that makes sense." Sikong Dou nodded slightly.
Zhou Yang was overjoyed.
"Whether it's useful or not, I can tell at a glance. You'd better submit the secret technique!" Sikong Dou's words completely extinguished Zhou Yang's hope.
Cheng Yida is also in a dilemma.
After drinking a few more drinks and not being able to see Sikong Dou's display of both physical and mental skills, he told the matter. Unexpectedly, this guy actually took it to heart.
Not only that, Sikong Dou also persuaded important officials in Juding City's city lord's palace to inform the Blue Beast Palace.
Cheng Yidao regretted saying this, so he delayed it for some time. But not long after, the senior officials of Cangshou Palace came down to him and asked him to handle the matter personally. How could he not dare to disobey.
Although he wanted to say a few words for Zhou Yang now, he had no choice but to do it because it was assigned by the elders of the sect. He could only make his little chess friend suffer some injustice.
"Ahem! Oh, little friend, do you think this is good? In addition to high-grade magic weapons and magic shields, how about letting Sikong teach you another secret technique?" Cheng Yidao felt that what he did was really unreasonable. Then more favorable conditions were proposed.
"Lao Cheng, are you confused! This guy is just a casual cultivator, an ant-like figure. Fortunately, we think highly of him and have made these many conditions. If not, I would have slapped him to death!" Sikong Dou Huan stared, and at the same time Tian Yuan's aura suddenly emerged.
Zhou Yang suddenly felt a huge pressure coming towards him, making him breathless.
Even the strength of Cheng Yidao in the middle stage of Tianyuan does not have such great momentum.
Zhou Yang gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth. At the same time, his mind was racing, looking for a good solution.
"Sikong, you..." Cheng Yidao didn't expect him to be like this, and he looked a little worried. He secretly thought that if it was an open robbery, why would you be used to show prestige? I can solve the problem with just one finger.
Sikong Dou ignored him and continued to exert pressure, with a mountain of force that hit his head and continued uninterruptedly.
Zhou Yang was horrified, sweating on his forehead, struggling to hold on.
Cheng Yidao was also a little surprised. After not seeing him for a few days, Sikong Dou actually took another step forward and reached the fourth level of Tianyuan, entering the middle stage.
In this case, wouldn't his pressure be equal to the peak of Tianyuan!
Zhou Yang felt that all the bones in his body were about to be crushed, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
You must know that he has practiced the Earth Fire Body Tempering Technique, and his body and bones are extraordinary and comparable to those of ordinary cultivators.
However, Zhou Yang was not one to give up easily. He could not do it with his physical strength alone, so he quickly mobilized his whole body's spiritual power to fill his limbs and bones, and used the Earth Fire Tempering Technique to resist.
A strange light flashed through Sikong Ban's eyes, and then he gained a little more strength.
