Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 102: Red Maple Twin Swords - Lizhou Little Chess Master

The so-called people rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water.

The Su family guarded Nanhu Lake, so naturally they wanted to maximize its development and utilization. Every autumn, they would hold a fish banquet to entertain guests from all over, including nearby cultivators.

After a hundred years of operation, this has even become a local custom.

Privately, the casual cultivators called it the Spirit Fish Festival.

Such a good family business naturally attracted many people's covetousness. Not long ago, some evil cultivators invaded the warehouse.

Fortunately, with Mr. Su around, Nanhu is still firmly in the hands of the Su family.

Xiao Chen set out early and arrived at the north side of Nanhu Lake before noon.

Nanhu Lake is more than 130 miles long from east to west and 60 miles wide at its widest point from north to south.

It is now the beginning of October, still at the end of the flood season. Looking at the lake from afar, the blue waves are vast and boundless.

The wind blows ripples on the water, the waves are rippling, the distant mountains are dark blue, the water and the sky are one color, the reeds are swaying, and the shore is covered with reeds and orchids.

It’s like a paradise on earth.

Hundreds of large round tables covered with red cloths were set up under the viewing platform built by the lake, and they were almost full of guests who had come to the banquet.

Many members of the Su family, dressed similarly, were busy receiving numerous wandering cultivators and guiding them to sit outside.

As Xiao Chen approached, a disciple of the Su family came up to greet him with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, please follow me."

He waved his hand and took out his invitation.

Seeing this, the other party was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect that this young man who looked younger than him was actually the distinguished guest with an invitation.

He immediately bowed and said, "I'm sorry for not recognizing the great man. Please forgive me, Senior. Please wait a moment. I will inform the head of the family."

Then he trotted away quickly.

Soon, Su Huaitao, the head of the Su family, came over in person and greeted Xiao Chen with a smile: "I've heard that Junior Brother Xiao is very talented."

"After seeing you today, you are indeed a handsome and talented person."

"No, no, it's the Su family master who is wise, brave, and majestic."

While exchanging pleasantries, the two of them came to the center of the banquet, above the observation deck.

This is not only the best place to enjoy the lake scenery, but also the highest point for banquets.

Standing here, you can see everything around you.

There were also twenty-eight small square tables on the stage, each of which was filled with spiritual fruits and spiritual wine, specifically for entertaining distinguished guests.

Seeing Su Huaitao personally bringing a young man onto the stage, many of the surrounding cultivators looked over.

Even the other guests on the stage looked at him curiously.

Xiao Chen has hardly gone out in recent years, so although he is well-known in the sect, few cultivators in the outside world know him.

An old man in the middle stage of foundation building asked curiously: "Huai Tao, I'm old and my memory is not good."

"This young man looks unfamiliar. I wonder which family he belongs to."

Hearing this, the others also quieted down and listened attentively.

Su Huaitao introduced, "Old Cheng, this is our Lihuo Sect's newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator, Fellow Daoist Xiao Chen. He is currently in charge of the affairs of the sect's Demon Slayer Hall."

When everyone heard this, they all looked surprised.

It's rare to find such a young person who has established his foundation, but he is not from one of the five major families.

Moreover, as a newly promoted foundation-building cultivator, he can actually be directly appointed as the manager. Will there be another powerful elder in the future?
Although they didn't know much about the Demon Removal Palace, they could guess from the name that it was an external violent organization.

Maybe we will have to deal with each other more often in the future.

Su Huaitao turned around and introduced: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is Mr. Cheng from the Red Maple Cheng family. Together with Mr. Cheng on the right, they are known as the Red Maple Twin Swords."

Hiss~, who is this?
Xiao Chen seemed to have seen a place called Hongfeng County on a map before.

But he had never heard of the title of Red Maple Twin Swords. However, this did not stop him from complimenting him: "So it's Mr. Cheng in person. I have long heard of your name."

Say hello.

Su Huaitao led Xiao Chen to sit down: "Junior Brother Xiao, I still have a lot of chores to attend to. I really can't spare you time. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

He then instructed Su Wanqing behind him: "Wanqing, you stay here and accompany your uncle Xiao."

Su Wanqing was wearing a gold-embroidered Juyi today, with a red silk coat on the outside, and a jade belt tied around her waist, with three pairs of jade ornaments and one pair of gold ornaments hanging on it.

Hearing this, she nodded obediently: "Yes."

Then she held her skirt seriously and sat upright on the left side of Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen could only use two words to describe it - strange.

She won't be possessed by another body, right?

After Su Huaitao left, Su Wanqing immediately relaxed: "Uncle Xiao, you're finally here. I'm so tired after following you around all morning."

That's okay, the misunderstanding is resolved.

Xiao Chen asked her in a low voice: "Do you know the Red Maple Twin Swords? Tell me quickly."

Su Wanqing asked curiously, "Uncle Master, you haven't heard of this? Fifty years ago, the head of the Hongfeng Cheng family achieved a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage. Since then, two members of the Cheng family have achieved this."

"Because both of them are skilled in using their family's inherited sword-wielding techniques to defeat their enemies, they are known as the Red Maple Twin Swords."

"Old Master Cheng entered the late stage of foundation building sixty years ago. The head of the Cheng family also broke through to the middle stage of foundation building twenty years ago."

"I heard that the Cheng family is looking for information about the Foundation Establishment Pill and is preparing to train a new generation of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Perhaps in a few years, they will change it to the Three Red Maple Swords."

Xiao Chen nodded: "I understand."

Then he deliberately praised: "I didn't expect you to be so amazing. You even know about things that happened fifty years ago."

"of course!"

"Then do you know where the others came from? Did they just happen to hear about the Cheng family?"

"How is that possible! I know all the Foundation Establishment Seniors here."

Then, she introduced the eight foundation-building monks present one by one.

In addition to the Cheng family father and son, there are five other people who are also the patriarchs of five other families.

There was only one middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe and having a triangular beard, who was a casual cultivator.

It is said that when he was young, he accidentally inherited a piece of chess, and since then he called himself Black and White.

He has already reached the late stage of foundation building and possesses a top-grade magic weapon called Yuheng chessboard. He is respected as the Little Chess Saint of Lizhou.

Go can be considered as one of the unorthodox ways.

But not all cultivators who practice unorthodox methods are necessarily evil cultivators; it also depends on the specific situation.

Similar to elixirs, weapons, talismans, calligraphy and painting, and even tea, wine, music and dance, etc., these are the methods of practice that have evolved from the hundreds of arts of cultivation.

It’s just a relatively niche profession, and the threshold for practice is higher.

However, if one can succeed in cultivation, he will often be much stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same level.

However, Xiao Chen was a little puzzled: "Why add a small word? Is there another expert?"

Su Wanqing shook her head: "That's not the case. Although Senior Hei Baizi is not the only chess practitioner, he is indeed the number one chess practitioner in Lizhou."

"It's just that there was once a Jindan Zhenren who was curious about chess and went to play a few games with Heibaizi."

"As a result, the real person won three games in a row."

"Since I've lost, I can't be called the Chess Saint anymore, so I'll change it to Little Chess Saint."

Uh, Xiao Chen sympathizes with this.
