Beat the heavens by half a piece?
Boom!
These four words were like a clap of thunder in their ears, causing Lin Mufeng and the others' minds to explode. They stood motionless on the spot.
The words "beat the heavens by half a piece" kept repeating in their minds. They couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over their bodies.
That was the heavens!
What kind of concept was beating the heavens?
This story didn't need to be explained in detail. Just these four words were enough to fill their minds with countless images.
Cultivators like us are existences that are unwilling to accept our fates. From the moment we start cultivating, we are fighting against the heavens!
Now that the path between immortals and mortals has been severed and there is no hope of becoming an immortal, what harm is there in staking one's life?
Beat the heavens by half a piece, beat the heavens by half a piece!
This is something that all cultivators don't dare to think about, but it's something that they really want to do, right?
At this moment, they felt an unparalleled sense of worship for the character in Li Nianfan's story. This character was most likely someone from the same era as Young Master Li. He was definitely a big shot!
The Tianyan Daoist's eyes lost focus as he stood there in a daze. He felt like he had finally found his idol after searching for him for thousands of times.
His heart was in turmoil, and his breathing was rapid. They were both playing chess. Could he beat the heavens by half a piece?
After a long while, Lin Mufeng sighed with emotion. "The characters in this story are truly admirable."
Li Nianfan nodded. When he first heard this story, he was also shocked. This story wasn't about some kind of magical power or principle, but a kind of spirit!
This kind of spirit wouldn't be outdated no matter which world it was in!
He looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Why don't the three of you stay for dinner?"
Lin Mufeng and Sun Qianshan were overjoyed. They were just about to agree when the Tianyan Daoist was faster than them. "No, we won't disturb Young Master Li."
Lin Mufeng and Sun Qianshan felt a mouthful of blood in their chests. They almost spat it out.
They looked at the Tianyan Daoist with extremely complicated expressions.
Idiot, scammer, pig teammate!
Do you know what Young Master Li ate?
Do you know what a great opportunity this is?
Do you know what a stupid thing you just did?
If it wasn't for Young Master Li, they really wanted to cut open the Tianyan Daoist's brain.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay?" Li Nianfan continued to urge him to stay.
"Uh … this, that, we …" Lin Mufeng's brain was spinning rapidly as he organized his words. He gritted his teeth and was about to thicken his skin and agree.
However, he heard Tianyan Daoist speak again, "Young Master Li, there's no need. I've already troubled you for a long time today."
Li Nianfan nodded. "Oh, then forget it."
Lin Mufeng and Sun Qianshan's faces stiffened. They could only stand up and say, "Hehe, Young Master Li, then we'll take our leave."
The Tianyan Daoist had blocked their path. There was no turning back.
"En, I won't see you out."
…
After walking out of the courtyard, Lin Mufeng and Sun Qianshan's faces instantly darkened. They looked at the Tianyan Daoist with resentment, making the Tianyan Daoist feel ashamed.
"What's wrong?" the Tianyan Daoist couldn't help but ask.
"Why didn't I notice before? You're a pig! Who is Young Master Li? How can the food he eats be ordinary? Why did I shamelessly stay here until now? It was all for the sake of tasting an immortal dish. Such a tiny wish has been completely destroyed by you! " Lin Mufeng could be said to be extremely resentful. Like pouring beans, he rattled off the Tianyan Daoist.
Sun Qianshan was on the verge of tears. "I only ate some leftovers last time. This time, I thought I could have a proper meal, but it's gone!"
"I'm sorry," the Tianyan Daoist said apologetically.
After a pause, he continued, "I've always felt that Young Master Li's words contained a deeper meaning, but it was like looking at flowers in a fog. I was only one step away, but I couldn't figure it out. That's why I was in a hurry to say goodbye."
"A deeper meaning?" Lin Mufeng and Sun Qianshan raised their eyebrows and immediately fell into deep thought.
Ever since they entered the courtyard, they had maintained a respectful attitude. After listening to Li Nianfan's story, although they were deeply shocked, they didn't calm down and think too deeply.
Now, after being reminded by the Tianyan Daoist, Lin Mufeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
How could he have forgotten this?
Every word that Young Master Li said contained a deeper meaning. Moreover, this time, he deliberately told them a story. There was definitely a hint!
They had to think about it carefully.
Suddenly, Sun Qianshan's pupils shrank. He said in awe, "Could it be that Young Master Li wants to imitate the person in the story and beat the heavens by half a move?!"
Gasp —
Lin Mufeng and the Tianyan Daoist gasped at the same time. They instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
This possibility … was very high!
After recovering from the shock, Lin Mufeng said in a trembling voice, "If that's the case, then does Young Master Li mean that he wants us to be his chess pieces and play a game with the heavens?!"
In the story, the person used his own life as the last chess piece to beat the heavens by half a move. Naturally, Young Master Li would choose to be a chess piece!
The reason why he was trembling was not because he was afraid, but because he was excited!
Just the thought of playing a game with the heavens was enough to make one's blood boil.
He knew his own weight. It was impossible for him to play a game with the heavens in this life. However … if he became Young Master Li's chess piece, wouldn't it be equivalent to joining the ranks of the game with the heavens? Even if he was just a chess piece, it would be a glorious chess piece!
This was a supreme honor for him!
Sun Qianshan's face was also filled with excitement. He said in surprise, "If that's the case, then Young Master Li … has recognized us as his chess pieces?"
"I'm eighty percent sure." Lin Mufeng pondered for a moment and said, "It's very likely that our mission of retrieving the refrigerator was recognized by the expert. That's why we are qualified to be his chess pieces. This means that we have passed the test."
Sun Qianshan laughed and said, "Hahaha, that's great. Then we are considered the expert's men."
Lin Mufeng immediately said solemnly, "Remember, don't be complacent. We are just chess pieces. How can Young Master Li only have us as his chess pieces? We have to perform better in the future."
"You're right!" Sun Qianshan and Tianyan Daoist nodded at the same time.
Sun Qianshan and Lin Mufeng felt refreshed. However, Tianyan Daoist's frown deepened. He muttered, "I still feel like I've overlooked something."
Lin Mufeng smiled and reminded him, "Every word the expert says has a hidden meaning. Why don't you try to recall every word he said? Maybe you'll discover something."
The Sky Spill Cultivator took a deep breath. His brain was spinning as he tried his best to recall every word and every sentence that the expert had said.
When he recalled that the expert refused to accept him as his disciple, his face could not help but reveal a sad expression.
However, in the next moment, his mind flashed and his eyes lit up.
