The young man in white came to his senses and noticed Qin Luo beside him. He quickly stood up, bowed, and apologized, "I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you, Daoist Master. Please!"

Thank you.

Qin Luo picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. A burst of golden light shone, and he continued to move forward.

The young man in white watched Qin Luo leave, his eyes filled with admiration. "So amazing!"

After leaving the third pavilion, Qin Luo said seriously, "In the future, don't disturb others when they are thinking, understand?"

"oh."

"I know!"

The little dumpling nodded obediently.

Wei Junjie arrived at the third pavilion. The young man in white was still looking at the new chess game when Wei Junjie made his move.

The young man in white thought there was another expert.

After Wei Junjie made his move, his piece quickly disappeared, and the young man in white breathed a sigh of relief.

With only one chance left, Wei Junjie didn't think much and played according to his instincts. The chess piece disappeared again, and he was teleported back to the foot of the mountain.

Wei Junjie stood at the foot of the mountain. He had not gained any fortune, but he did not leave either. Instead, he looked at Caiyun Peak and said, "I don't believe you can deceive Caiyun!"

Qin Luo followed the plank road, walking up Rainbow Cloud Peak. There were no cultivators in the fourth and fifth pavilions, and the two pavilions lit up one after another.

"This luck is incredible!"

Wei Junjie couldn't help but sigh.

In the sixth pavilion, two cultivators stood deep in thought before a chessboard. Qin Luo did not disturb them and passed between them. Soon after, the seventh pavilion lit up.

In the ninth pavilion, Qin Luo saw many cultivators, including young juniors and powerful elders, discussing how to break the deadlock and arguing endlessly.

Qin Luo disliked joining in the fun. He passed through the ninth pavilion, which shocked all the cultivators present. Some cultivators wanted to follow Qin Luo, but found that the restriction was still in place.

"What's going on?"

"Could he be the Immortal of Rainbow Clouds?"

The cultivators in the pavilion were discussing amongst themselves.

Even Wei Junjie couldn't understand why Qin Luo could still walk up to some pavilions even though they weren't lit up.

After the thirteenth pavilion, there were no cultivators in the subsequent pavilions, and the pavilions lit up one after another.

Qin Luo stood in the nineteenth pavilion, which was very close to the mountain peak and offered a panoramic view of the entire Caiyun Ancient Town. The streets were bustling with activity, and children were playing hide-and-seek in the rapeseed fields.

The little dumpling poked the colorful clouds above its head with a bamboo skewer.

Ouch!

An aged voice rang out.

The little dumpling quickly hid the bamboo skewer behind its back.

Qin Luo looked back and saw the colorful clouds dissipate, condensing into a short old man with long, flowing hair on the mountaintop, with colorful rays of light behind him.

When the Immortal of Rainbow Clouds saw Qin Luo, he stroked his beard and said, "After so many years, someone has finally come to Rainbow Clouds. It's truly not easy."

Qin Luo walked up to the mountain peak and bowed, saying, "Senior, I have heard that you know everything, so I would like to ask you a few questions."

The Immortal of Rainbow Clouds looked at Qin Luo with a smile, "I can answer your question, but you must defeat me first."

The little dumpling tilted its head, its face serious, and said, "Senior, what if I beat you but you can't answer the question?"

The Immortal of Rainbow Clouds sat before the chessboard, his expression confident as he said, "You can't possibly win."

Qin Luo sat down in front of the chessboard and said with a smile, "Senior, please."

The Immortal of Rainbow Clouds pushed the chess box containing the white pieces towards Qin Luo, and said with a smile, "This immortal doesn't need to give you a handicap. How about this, if I capture one of your pieces, you lose? How about that?"

"Isn't this cheating?"

The little dumpling frowned. Even a novice like Chu Peiran could win, so this old man must be many times better than Chu Peiran. How could the boss possibly win?

Qin Luo found the rules interesting and wanted to try them, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay."

I like your personality.

The Immortal of Colorful Clouds laughed heartily.

Qin Luo remained calm. He picked up the white piece and chose to place it at the center, just as Caiyun Xianren had placed a black piece next to the white one.

The little dumpling sat on Qin Luo's shoulder, her eyes fixed on the chessboard.

The two played chess amidst the colorful clouds.

Qin Luo could no longer attack as fearlessly as before, because he couldn't afford to lose pieces; this was a clear change in his mindset when playing chess.

After several dozen moves, Qin Luo gained the upper hand, but due to the rules of the Rainbow Cloud Immortal, he could lose the game at any time.

For the first time, Qin Luo's chess playing speed slowed down.

From dawn to dusk.

There are very few places left on the chessboard where pieces can be placed.

Qin Luo looked at the dim chessboard. He had a huge advantage in the situation. Now he could only place a stone on the edge of the board. Once he placed a stone, his opponent would capture it.

"I lost."

Qin Luo resigned and admitted defeat.

The little dumpling glared angrily at the fairy Caiyun, even though there were more white pieces on the chessboard and they occupied more territory.

Looking at the chessboard, the Immortal Caiyun couldn't help but sigh, "Even under such unfavorable rules, I, this immortal, have lost by so many points. Young friend, are you truly convinced of your defeat?"

"I, the younger generation, am completely convinced of my defeat."

Qin Luo cupped his hands in acknowledgment.

Looking at the sea of ​​clouds dyed red by the sunset, the Immortal Caiyun said meaningfully, "Winning a game is easy for you, but not losing a single piece is difficult. Life is like a game of chess. If you don't want to lose the whole game, you are destined to lose something precious."

Qin Luo stared at the chessboard.

The dim chessboard was devoid of light.
