Chapter 574: Chapter 573 - 274: Luo Family Patriarch, Mortal Transcendence Initial Stage?_2

“Good,”

“Let’s see then, how much you, little girl, have progressed in Go,”

…

Half an hour later.

The game between Luo Changfeng and Luo Youwei had come to an end.

The victor, naturally, was Luo Changfeng without a doubt.

The loser, was the slightly frowning Luo Youwei, who seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with herself.

“Defeated again…”

“This game, I was just a little short.”

“Just a tiny bit short.”

“If only I had been a bit more careful, that would have been better…”

Luo Youwei murmured to herself as she looked at the Go board in front of her.

“Just a bit short?”

Luo Changfeng slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at Luo Youwei with an almost smiling expression.

Luo Youwei nodded silently and said, “Yes, this time, just a little bit short, and I could have turned defeat into victory. Unfortunately…”

Luo Changfeng chuckled, then said in a low voice, “This ‘just a bit short’ you speak of, how do you know it’s not something I intended for you to see?”

“In the realm of cultivation, the business world, the mortal world,”

“Many times, what you see is not necessarily the truth,”

“Just like this Go game,”

“You think you are just one step away from victory, but how do you know this is not the sight I wanted you to have?”

“How do you know, these are not part of my arrangements?”

“So, in the future when you face others in the business world, you need to think it over more carefully,”

After speaking,

Luo Changfeng silently picked up the tea that had been sitting beside the stone table, which had grown somewhat cold.

He brought it to his lips and started sipping it slowly.

As time passed, after quite a while,

Luo Youwei, who sat in front of Luo Changfeng, finally let out a breath, as if she had come to some understanding.

“Patriarch Changfeng, I understand now,”

She bowed her head slightly.

Then, Luo Youwei, the little girl, began to clear the black and white Go pieces from the stone table.

[Someone is coming…]

[Someone is coming…]

[Someone is coming…]

Suddenly, a black-feathered bird perched high within the courtyard, standing on one leg and tilting its head to look into the distance, opened its mouth and called out loudly several times.

Beneath the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng was still squinting his eyes, calmly sipping the tea in his hand.

And Luo Youwei, who was in front of him tidying up the black and white Go pieces, had her attention drawn.

“Oh.”

“So there was someone here?”

“This little girl seems somewhat familiar…”

“Seems like I’ve seen her somewhere before?”

A somewhat blurry figure suddenly appeared in the small courtyard by the pavilion.

“Oh, now I remember.”

“Isn’t this the little girl who seemed frozen all over?”

“She has changed to this state now?”

“I barely recognized her…”

The Carefree Monk walked toward Luo Changfeng’s direction with his shabby wooden fan in hand, swaying as he moved.

Luo Youwei asked curiously, “Patriarch Changfeng, who is he…”

Luo Changfeng replied calmly, “Just a gluttonous Monk, not worth noting. Now, you should leave…”

Luo Youwei nodded silently.

She quickly finished tidying up the Go pieces on the stone table,

putting them all back into the Go box,

then she turned around and left the courtyard, disappearing from Luo Changfeng’s sight.

“Survived,”

“And living rather comfortably,”

“Even reaching such a level in cultivation,”

“This truly surprises me…”

The Carefree Monk sat next to Luo Changfeng, then said in a low voice while waving his shabby wooden fan.

Luo Changfeng glanced at the Carefree Monk and said coldly, “What, were you hoping that the little girl would die?”

The Carefree Monk was momentarily stunned upon hearing this,

but soon he hurriedly shook his head, smiling as he explained, “No, no, you must have misunderstood my meaning…”

Luo Changfeng said, “Let’s hope so…”

…

In the blink of an eye, much time had passed.

Since the Carefree Monk arrived at this small courtyard,@@novelbin@@

about half an hour had gone by.

In the courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion,

Luo Changfeng was quietly holding a steaming cup, taking small sips and savoring the taste.

And the Carefree Monk sitting beside Luo Changfeng,

at this moment, seemed somewhat fidgety.

The nature of the Carefree Monk was not one to easily settle down.

Being able to sit still for half an hour was already nearing his limit.

“That thing,”

“the five hundred Qi-Blood Elixirs you mentioned before, how about them?”

“Are they ready?”

The Carefree Monk coughed lightly and then asked with a somewhat expectant look.

“What if I said it failed, what would happen?”

Luo Changfeng glanced at the Carefree Monk and then asked.

“Ah?” The Carefree Monk was taken aback and silently looked at Luo Changfeng, “Failed?”

“Just joking…”

Luo Changfeng said in a low voice.

The Carefree Monk patted his chest, and his face regained its initial smile, “As expected, I knew that with your abilities it would certainly be possible, so…”

The Carefree Monk was speaking when suddenly he stopped.

His eyes looking at Luo Changfeng seemed to say,

So where are the five hundred Qi-Blood Elixirs?

Is it time for you to give them to me now?

Don’t keep hiding them any longer.

“Take them, take them…”

Seeing the Carefree Monk’s expression, Luo Changfeng could not help but wave his hand and directly took out a porcelain bottle specially for storing elixirs from the storage ring.

“Huh?”

“What’s the situation?”

“Just this one?”

The Carefree Monk looked at the porcelain bottle in front of him and once again seemed a bit stupefied.

The porcelain bottle, no matter how one looked at it,

did not seem like the kind that could hold five hundred Qi-Blood Elixirs.

“That porcelain bottle has space inside.”

“I specially crafted it for storing elixirs.”

“It contains five hundred Qi-Blood Elixirs.”

“What, you don’t want it?”

The Carefree Monk hurriedly stretched out his hand and took the porcelain bottle from the stone table into his hands, “I want it, of course, I want it. How could I not want such a fine thing?”

“But I didn’t expect you to have crafted this porcelain bottle into a space-type Spiritual Artifact,”

“Usually, those Alchemist powers store elixirs within porcelain bottles and then store those bottles in storage rings.”

“Though, if it’s like what you’ve done…”

“It does seem like it’s indeed missing a step and indeed much more convenient.”

…

After obtaining the five hundred Qi-Blood Elixirs,

the Carefree Monk was no longer in such a hurry.

He simply sat quietly under the Stone Pavilion,

accompanying Luo Changfeng, silently enjoying the rare and hard-earned peace of the moment.

“Do you know about the matters concerning the Great Flame Dynasty?”

After a long while,

the Carefree Monk suddenly asked.

Luo Changfeng looked at the Carefree Monk with some confusion and said in a low voice, “There’s a lot about the Great Flame Dynasty, which one are you referring to?”

The Carefree Monk said, “Naturally, it’s the matter between the Great Flame Dynasty and the Five Elements Immortal Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Changfeng just silently nodded.

The Carefree Monk asked with some curiosity, “What does your nod mean?”

While sipping his tea, Luo Changfeng said in a low voice, “Is it not about the Great Flame Dynasty wanting to borrow the might of the Five Elements Immortal Sect to pressure the Luo Family of Qingshi City? What about it?”

The Carefree Monk thought for a moment, then asked, “Aren’t you afraid that the Five Elements Immortal Sect might really help the Great Flame Dynasty?”

Luo Changfeng smiled slightly and said in a low voice, “Do you think that’s likely? An Immortal Sect Power aiding a worldly dynasty’s power, has the Five Elements Immortal Sect lost its mind? For a matter that brings no benefit whatsoever, what reason does the Five Elements Immortal Sect have to do such a thing?”

The Carefree Monk said, “But what if?”

Luo Changfeng gave the Carefree Monk a look and then ignored the fellow beside him.
