I Turn Out To Be A Grand Master Chapter 182 - Senior Is Really Clever!

Chapter 182: Senior Is Really Clever!

Liu Changgong was considering a very serious problem.

He wasn’t even considering whether to accept Jianglu as a student.

Jianglu had even taken out the tuition fee, so he naturally wouldn’t chase Jianglu out.

That wasn’t something a wise ‘shopkeeper’ should do.

But, compared to the spirit stones Lou Hongzhi took out, Jianglu’s spirit stones were too little.

If Lou Hongzhi was not a precedent, even if it was more than ten spirit stones, he would be willing to accept Jianglu as his disciple.

However, if this precedent was set, what would Lou Hongzhi think? After all, Lou Hongzhi had paid more than three hundred spirit stones, chopped wood, and carried water to become his student.

He could not let Lou Hongzhi be disappointed!

This went against his way of education!

Moreover, when Jianglu and the others introduce students to him in the future, how many spirit stones should Liu Changgong collect?

This was not a small problem.

Liu Changgong was afraid of trouble.

Thinking of this, Liu Changgong pointed at Jianglu and asked, “How many Immortal Jades do you have in total?”

Jianglu was stunned and quickly scanned the Ancient Immortal Jades on the ground with his spiritual sense.

“Senior, there are a total of 181 pieces.”

Jianglu had a bitter expression on his face.

This amount was far from the 365 pieces Lou Hongzhi had given him.

It was not even half of Lou Hongzhi’s.

Jianglu did not even have the face to find an excuse to comfort himself.

But Liu Changgong nodded and said, “It’s okay. The rest can be made up later.”

Liu Changgong was still satisfied with his proposal.

181 pieces as the first payment, and the rest in installments. That should be enough, right?

When Jianglu heard this, his face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.

“Thank you, Senior, thank you, Senior!”

Lou Hongzhi gave Jianglu a look, and Jianglu understood.

This time, he used his spiritual power and kowtowed hard.

“Stop, stop, stop, you’ve splashed blood all over my small courtyard. How can I do business?”

Liu Changgong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He hurried and let Jianglu get up.

Liu Changgong was also full of admiration.

d.a.m.n it, where did this weirdo come from?

His way of doing things was so shocking.

Not only did he carry a huge sum of money and insist on learning some secular arts from him, but he was also so respectful to his teacher.

His character didn’t seem bad. Otherwise, Liu Changgong wouldn’t have accepted them.

Liu Changgong thought that these two jokers might have secretly used the spirit masters he had saved to acknowledge him as their teacher without their family knowing.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so merciless in spending them.

Liu Changgong felt that these two cultivators were quite sincere.

When Jianglu saw that Senior Liu had agreed to his request so smoothly, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

He thought to himself that Senior Liu must have accepted him on account of the Dao Constellation Palace.

Otherwise…

Suddenly, Jianglu thought of a possibility.

Why would an unworldly expert like Senior Liu accept him for such a trivial reason?

Strictly speaking, even the Carefree Grand Sage could not be considered as Senior Liu’s disciple.

Then, there must be another reason for Senior Liu to accept him.

He and Lou Hongzhi had the same way of acknowledging a master.

Did he kowtow and move Senior Liu?

No.

An unworldly expert like Senior Liu had never seen anything like this. How could he accept him because he was moved?

Then, it was the number of Immortal Jades.

“One hundred and eighty-one pieces of Ancient Immortal Jades! One hundred and eighty-one pieces. Isn’t this the number of black pieces on the chessboard?”

A standard chess board had 19 rows by 19 rows with a total of 361 places.

Black pieces had the first move, white pieces had the second.

So there were one hundred and eighty-one pieces of black pieces and one hundred and eighty pieces of white pieces.

Only then did Jianglu realize that the amount of Ancient Immortal Jade he had on him was exactly the same as the number of black pieces.

Jianglu thought to himself, when he played chess with others, it was precisely because he liked to play black first.

Hiss!

Senior Liu had actually calculated this point.

Jianglu’s heart was greatly shocked.

Senior Liu had really calculated everything.

Could it be that Senior Liu had calculated that he had 181 spirit stones before choosing him to join his chess game?

It must be so!

Jianglu felt that Senior Liu’s cultivation level was like a lofty mountain he was looking up at.

‘No wonder Senior Liu rejected me in the beginning. Later, he asked me to count the number of Immortal Jades before he decided to accept me.’

‘It turned out that I had unintentionally become a fated person in Senior Liu’s eyes.’

‘It was just that, the number of opportunities I had was half of Lou Hongzhi’s. Because I had yet to make up for the number of white chess pieces, Senior Liu’s last words should be a hint to me.’

‘Let’s see if I have the ability to comprehend it.’

Jianglu suddenly felt his mind was suddenly enlightened.

As if he suddenly understood, he finally understood why the sect leader asked him to serve Senior Liu.

The sect leader also used his painstaking conscience.

A peerless figure like Senior Liu, who had the ability to move Heaven and Earth, had countless mysteries hidden in his every word and action. If he casually comprehended a few mysteries, no, even a single one, it would be enough for him to enjoy for life.

Liu Changgong looked at these two rare and eccentric students in front of him and felt extremely emotional.

Suddenly, he remembered the messenger talisman left here by the prince.

Liu Changgong quickly went back to his room and took out the messenger talisman. Together with the two tokens given to him by the Venerable Zhu Zhao, he said to Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi, “Take this item and go to the Grand Moon Sect to find an old man surnamed Zhu. Ask him where the owner of this messenger talisman is and return it to its owner.”

Jiang Liu and Yu Linglong naturally recognized that it was a talisman at a glance.

Although they were puzzled, they still nodded and said, “I understand.”

Li Xuanmen was brought here by w.a.n.g Linglong, a junior surnamed Zhu. Liu Changgong did not know where that person was and did not want to go to the Grand Moon Sect to ask Elder Zhu and Yu Linglong, so he simply left this matter to Jianglu and Yu Linglong.

After all, cultivators had strong bodies and fast legs, so it was much faster for them to return things than for a mortal like him.

Liu Changgong thought that he could order two cultivators to do things for him now, and he was quite proud of himself.

Liu Changgong muttered, “This messenger talisman has been with me for so long, I hope it’s still in time. Don’t cause any trouble.”

Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi were cultivators, and they had good hearing, so they heard Liu Changgong’s words.

…

In the Supreme Elder’s quiet room of the Grand Moon Sect, four people were sitting in their respective seats.

On the main seat was the Sacred Lord Brahma, Lord Xinghe.

The other three were the beautiful w.a.n.g Yuyan, the Venerable Zhu Zhao, and Venerable Huang Ze.

Venerable Huang Ze said shamefully, “I got a painting from Senior Liu last time. After I went back and studied it carefully, I was lucky enough to break through to the Dharma Idol realm. Before I could properly thank Senior Liu, I was called here by the Lord Xinghe.”

Sacred Lord Brahma said apologetically, “The matter of thanking Senior Liu is more important. I was thoughtless.”

Venerable Huang Ze hurriedly waved his hand and said in a panic, “Senior Liu is magnanimous. He is a kind-hearted person. Presumably, he won’t vent his anger on me because of this small matter. I just want to ask you, Sacred Lord, why did you call us here so urgently?”

Lord Xinghe’s expression became solemn as he said in a clear voice, “This matter is neither big nor small. It’s very likely that all the cultivators in the Southern Territory will be implicated.”
