Immortals of the Mortal World Gather at the Inn!

Chapter 37 Zhang and Yu, Playing Chess

The next day, Li Daoxuan's school officially opened.

Led by Xiao Hu, the children from the village gathered at the school.

"Sir, we're here for class!"

Little Tiger, who was in the lead, shouted first!

Hearing the shouts outside, Li Daoxuan went over and pushed open the school door.

"Come in!"

Looking at the twenty-odd children, Li Daoxuan realized that apart from Xiao Hu, none of them had any talent for cultivation, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh!

Seeing Li Daoxuan glance at him and his companions and then shake his head and sigh, Xiao Hu panicked, thinking that Li Daoxuan looked down on them. He quickly said, "Sir, please don't look down on us. Although we are illiterate, we will definitely learn well as long as you teach us!"

Seeing that he had been misunderstood, Li Daoxuan said, "Little Tiger, you've misunderstood. I was just shaking my head because I felt sorry that you two are so old and still don't know a single word."

Xiao Hu was relieved and smiled at Li Daoxuan, saying, "Sir, this place is too remote. No teacher has ever come here before, so..."

Li Daoxuan patted Xiaohu's head and said, "Xiaohu, from now on, you will come to my class at cockcrow every day for two hours."

"Is this feasible?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu and the others quickly replied, "Yes, that's feasible."

Li Daoxuan waved his hand and said, "Then come in!"

In the classroom, Li Daoxuan looked at the group of children sitting below and said, "Today, we will learn characters first."

As Li Daoxuan lectured, the students quickly learned a few characters.

Time flies, two hours have passed!

"Alright, get out of class dismissed. Go home tonight and review the words you learned today; I'll test you tomorrow!"

"good!"

After the students left, Li Daoxuan closed the door of the school and then went to the small wooden house next to the school.

"Mr. Li, wait for me, I've come to play chess with you!"

Just as Li Daoxuan entered the wooden house and was about to close the door, the old doctor appeared out of nowhere in front of Li Daoxuan's door.

"Senior, what brings you here!"

Upon seeing this, Li Daoxuan hurriedly invited the old physician in!

The old doctor smiled and said, "Well, my favorite pastime is playing chess, but no one in Xiaoyu Village knows how. It just so happens that Mr. Li is here; surely he knows how!"

Li Daoxuan nodded humbly and said, "Senior, I do know how, but I'm not capable of lasting more than a few rounds against you!"

The old doctor was taken aback at first, then laughed and said, "It's alright, my chess skills aren't very good either."

Li Daoxuan took it as the old doctor being modest, and that was indeed the case.

Looking at the scene in his room, Li Daoxuan realized it was unsuitable for playing chess, so he said to the old doctor, "Senior, why don't we go outside to the riverbank to play?"

The old doctor smiled and said, "Either is fine."

Li Daoxuan led the old doctor to the riverbank.

Then the old doctor casually pointed forward, and a stream of water flew out, forming a chessboard.

Li Daoxuan watched the old doctor's actions and, for some reason, felt that they were perfectly normal.

Li Daoxuan looked at the transparent chessboard but couldn't see any chess pieces, so he asked, "Senior, how can we play chess without chess pieces?"

The old doctor smiled and said, "It's simple, just use spiritual power to condense the chess pieces."

Li Daoxuan tried it out and found that although he could condense it, placing a piece on the chessboard would consume one-tenth of his spiritual power.

Li Daoxuan said to the old physician, "Senior, I'm afraid I can't place many of these chess pieces!"

Sometimes, stress is the best remedy for waking you up!

The old doctor said something.

Li Daoxuan assumed this meant he needed pressure to make breakthroughs in his cultivation, so he thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

"Hmm!" The old doctor was taken aback at first, then realized that Li Daoxuan had misunderstood, but he did not explain.

The old doctor first conjured a chess piece, then placed it in the center of the chessboard: "Your turn!"

Li Daoxuan painstakingly condensed a chess piece and then placed it in a place that surprised the old doctor.

The old doctor asked in surprise, "Why did you place the chess piece in the bottom right corner of the chessboard?"

Li Daoxuan looked at the chess piece he had placed, felt a sharp pain in his head, and replied with a puzzled expression, "I don't know either, it seems like this piece is going to be placed here."

The old doctor looked at the chessboard and said, "This piece is in the corner of the chessboard, making it easy to overlook."

Li Daoxuan didn't understand the meaning of the old doctor's words. He looked at the old doctor and realized that he wouldn't tell him.

The old physician placed another piece and said to Li Daoxuan, "Your turn!"

Li Daoxuan had just painstakingly condensed a chess piece, but his hand uncontrollably moved it to another corner of the chessboard!

Before Li Daoxuan could even ask himself what was going on, the old doctor muttered to himself again, "There's one more child. Be prepared for both possibilities."

The old doctor thought for a moment, then conjured a chess piece and placed it next to the first piece.

Li Daoxuan finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Senior, why!"

"All you need to do is gather the chess pieces!"

Before Li Daoxuan could finish speaking, the old doctor interrupted him.

Li Daoxuan looked at the old doctor and noticed that the old doctor's brows were furrowed, as if he was making a difficult decision.

Li Daoxuan dared not ask any more questions and condensed another chess piece.

Li Daoxuan realized that the chess piece in his hand had not been placed. He tried to control it, but found that he still could not control it, so he simply gave up.

After a short while, Li Daoxuan's chess piece was placed, next to his first piece.

The old doctor looked at the chessboard, made another move, and combined it with the moves from the previous lesson, aiming to capture the piece that Li Daoxuan had just placed.

This time, Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate to place his piece next to the old doctor's newly placed piece, blocking the old doctor's path!

But the old doctor didn't give up. He placed another piece, which connected perfectly with the previous one, allowing him to surround and capture it.

Li Daoxuan's hand continued to break through uncontrollably. The old doctor seemed to have gotten into a fight and wanted to capture that piece.

Finally, realizing he couldn't eat any more pieces, the old doctor set his sights on the pieces in the other corner.

However, Li Daoxuan discovered that his spiritual power was exhausted and he could no longer condense chess pieces.

But for some reason, Li Daoxuan uncontrollably began to forcefully condense chess pieces, and the old doctor did not stop him. He quietly looked at the chessboard, thinking about something.

Just when Li Daoxuan felt he was about to die, the chess piece was successfully formed. After the chess piece was formed, Li Daoxuan discovered that some inexplicable fragments appeared in his mind.

Li Daoxuan placed his chess piece directly in front of the old doctor's piece, indicating that the path was blocked.

The old doctor looked at the chessboard, unsure of his next move, his hand hovering over the chess piece, unsure of what to do next.

Meanwhile, in the Red Dust Inn, Mr. Zhang had a chessboard in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it was clearly the same chessboard that the old doctor and Li Daoxuan had played.
