As Luo You placed his piece, he chuckled, "Aren't you curious why I look like this? Oh, I haven't asked you how you guessed me. Have you seen what Li Sisi looks like?"
Without much thought, Chen Jing continued to place his piece: "Li Sisi? You mean the High Priestess? I have indeed seen her face, and it looks very much like yours."
“She’s my sister.” Luo You’s expression turned nostalgic. “Sigh, she suffered some misfortunes during her childhood, which turned her into that cold and aloof person. The reason I keep smiling is that I hope to show all the smiles she never showed.”
Chen Jing stopped the black pieces that had already formed a three-star formation and asked, "But she doesn't share your surname."
Luo You smiled and continued to place his pieces: "She takes her mother's surname, and I take my father's surname. Your sister is named Wantong, and your brother is named Li Huaxing, and they don't share the same surname as you."
Chen Jing, playing white, had been defending against Luo You's relentless attacks. He cautiously asked, "Why does everyone call you Mr. Luo You?"
Chen Jing had anticipated that Luo You might possess some information about him, so he used his Dao Qi to control his speech and forcefully prevent himself from showing any abnormality.
“I am a practitioner of Dao Qi. When Dao Qi reaches the Qi Realm, one can change one’s appearance and body. I used to often appear in male form,” Luo You said.
Chen Jing was overjoyed, feeling that this was a good opportunity to test the cultivation methods of Dao Qi. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Wow, this is the first time I've heard of it. I know very little about Dao Qi, and I don't even know the mental cultivation method."
“That’s normal.” Luo You placed his piece as if without thinking: “The Dao Qi is very mysterious. However, all spiritual Qi cultivation methods are the same. There is a general outline that runs through the entire Dao path, common parts for each level and realm, and there is orthodox cultivation as well as reverse cultivation.”
Chen Jing cautiously placed his piece: "What is the cultivation method for the Qi of the Unknown?"
“Every sect is different, and each individual is different as well.” Luo You smiled and showed goodwill to Chen Jing: “It doesn’t hurt to tell you, because you will find out sooner or later.”
"The general principle of Dao Qi is the word 'Dao' itself. It is about finding and practicing the so-called 'Dao'. This is something that all practitioners of Dao Qi must do."
Chen Jing seemed to be deep in thought, and continued to place his piece: "What is orthodox practice, and what is inverse practice?"
"Following the natural order is right, going against it is wrong." Luo You smiled. "Didn't your master tell you that?"
Chen Jing shook his head: "My master never told me any of this."
“This is common knowledge among cultivators,” Luo You said with a smile. “I can tell you about the cultivation methods of the Blood Realm, for free. If you want to know more, you’ll need to do some things for me.”
Chen Jing nodded, about to agree, when suddenly, a tidal wave surged through his mind.
In that instant, Chen Jing was gripped by immense fear, as if he had been transported back to the scene of fighting against the wandering slave spirits!
This burst of energy was almost identical to that one, only deeper, darker, and more viscous.
Black Hand Lu Gang, clad in light armor, had somehow taken up the seat next to Chen Jing. His face was grim, and he spoke:
"You used illusion magic on me again?"
Luo You, with his red hair, closed his eyes, tilted his face slightly, and gave Lu Gang a charming smile, clenching his fists with his hands crossed: "It's necessary for cultivation, it's necessary for cultivation, please understand."
Before Lu Gang could speak, Luo You placed a piece, which just happened to surround Chen Jing's pieces.
Then, she extended her pale fingers and lifted the white pieces off the chessboard.
Chen Jing's expression was blank.
