Qu Feiyan originally thought that as long as she was careful, it wouldn't be so easy for Chu Qinghe to bewitch her through a game of chess.

However, just as Chu Qinghe placed the white piece on the chessboard and a wisp of true energy was injected into it, a ripple of true energy spread out, and Qu Feiyan's eyes suddenly became blank.

Gradually, Qu Feiyan's eyes, though seemingly blank, began to show a look of terror on her face, as if she had witnessed something horrifying.

Unconsciously, beads of sweat began to appear on my forehead.

Coupled with the terror on Qu Feiyan's face, it was clear at a glance that the sweat was from being frightened.

And like Dongfang Bubai.

Despite the surging of true energy throughout his body, he remained completely still, as if he had been frozen in place by a spell.

Ah~

A short while later.

A scream filled with terror rang out, and Qu Feiyan finally came to her senses, leaning back slightly with a look of lingering fear on her face.

Seeing this, Lin Shiyin asked curiously, "Feiyan, what did you just see?"

After swallowing, Qu Feiyan replied, "Just now, I felt like I was back in my childhood when my grandfather's enemies came to our door. It felt so real."

After a few moments of calm, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "I was already very careful just now, so why did you still manage to bewitch me and pull me into the illusion?"

Hearing Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think you can defend against this just because you want to?"

For ordinary chess players, the only way to lure martial artists into an illusion through special chess games is to use a gradual approach, combining the sound of chess pieces falling, the special shapes in the game, and true qi to bewitch them.

However, for Chu Qinghe, who has mastered the grandmaster-level chess skills, he can now inject his mental energy into the game while playing, and he can even draw upon a special power of heaven and earth as a medium.

Let alone a martial artist like Qu Feiyan who is at the Innate Realm, even a martial artist like Dongfang Bubai who is at the Grandmaster Realm would be completely unable to defend against it.

Seeing that her deliberate precautions were still ineffective, Qu Feiyan's face fell.

After glancing at the chessboard, he immediately stood up with a look of lingering fear.

Seeing Qu Feiyan's reaction, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Don't worry, you'll feel better after a while."

"Huh? Again?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan's expression immediately changed.

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "This exquisite chess game has the effect of refining the mind. What you are lacking right now is the right state of mind. It is perfect for you. Why don't you come? Not only you, but Xiao Zhao and Shi Yin will also have to go through the exquisite chess game three times a day to improve their state of mind."

This time, not only Qu Feiyan, but even Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin next to her looked miserable.

At this moment, Dongfang Bubai spoke up: "Since your chess skills are enough to achieve the effect of the 'Bewitching Technique,' can it also play other roles?"

Chu Qinghe nodded slightly and said, "Yes, some of its abilities are the same as those of the wooden carving. It uses the chess piece as a medium to seal sword intent and martial arts within the chessboard. If someone enters the game with the chess piece, they can trigger it and absorb and comprehend it."

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe also had a smile on his face.

If you do anything too much, or even treat it as a task, you will eventually lose some of the fun.

Just like Chu Qinghe.

Now, everyone in the family needs this wood carving.

Unfortunately, this thing is disposable.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the girls' cultivation speed does not slow down, Chu Qinghe can only keep track of the time to ensure that there is a sufficient supply of these wood carvings.

But things are different now.

With his master-level chess skills, Chu Qinghe only needs to set up some chess positions and seal his martial arts or sword intent within them. Then, the girls can study the chess positions themselves when they need to practice.

Once the sword intent within is exhausted, simply replenish it.

This method is even simpler than using wood carving.

This means Chu Qinghe has more time to slack off.

"As for the other one, it's less of an ability and more of a special method of defending against enemies."

"Hmm? A method of defending against enemies?"

Dongfang Bubai and Shuimu Yinji turned their heads slightly, their faces revealing a hint of curiosity.

In response, Chu Qinghe slowly said: "It is a concept of fighting the enemy, which integrates the principles of chess into the battle, so as to anticipate the enemy's moves and achieve the effect of playing chess against the enemy."

After pondering for a moment, Dongfang Bubai said, "This statement is somewhat similar to the Heavenly Rank mid-grade martial art 'Yi Sword Technique' of Fu Cailin, a late-stage Heavenly Realm expert from a small country next to the Great Tang Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "It sounds similar, but it's not the same thing."

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe thought for a moment, and then his true energy instantly flowed out from his lower and middle dantian.

A powerful surge of true energy poured out, almost instantly engulfing the entire courtyard.

At the same time, strands of the power of heaven and earth swept wildly from the surroundings, then mixed with the true energy in Chu Qinghe's body to form a special area.

Then, Chu Qinghe said to Dongfang Bubai and Shuimu Yinji, "Go stand in the courtyard and try to attack me."

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, the two women looked slightly suspicious.

After exchanging a glance, they both walked to the center of the courtyard, about two zhang away from Chu Qinghe.

However, just as the two women stood still and began to circulate their inner energy, two sword energies burst forth from the ground and shot towards them.
