"Sect Master, have you achieved enlightenment today?"
Elder Tao Ming swaggered over to Chong Xuanzi, speaking in an incredibly annoying tone.
"Heh heh, I'm sorry, I achieved enlightenment once this morning, and again this afternoon. Two enlightenments in a day, sigh, I'm so tired!"
Such pretentiousness!
So unbelievably pretentious!
The Golden Core cultivators around couldn't stand it anymore.
You're so awesome, does your mother know?
Yun Peng Zhenren of the 'Deyun Sect' couldn't help but say.
"I really want to beat him up, what should I do?"
Immediately, a Golden Core cultivator whispered in agreement.
"It's okay, I want to beat him too, let's go together later!"
Chong Xuanzi glanced at Elder Tao Ming with disdain.
"Enlightening twice in a day, what's the point? A man isn't about the number of times, but about lasting! I achieved enlightenment the night before last, and only woke up yesterday night. This is called one day, one awakening!"
Hearing this, Elder Tao Ming was instantly enraged.
No, how could he be outdone by Chong Xuanzi?
He absolutely could not tolerate this!
Elder Tao Ming glared fiercely and declared.
"Today, I achieved enlightenment twice and discovered six errors in the 'Chong Xuan Scripture', and I have already corrected them!"
Chong Xuanzi chuckled, calm and collected, displaying an air of confident superiority.
"I'm sorry, my single day of enlightenment revealed eight errors in the 'Chong Xuan Scripture', and they have all been corrected!"
Elder Tao Ming
(╬◣д◢)
Furious!
Absolutely furious!
Cannot lose!
Absolutely cannot lose!
Elder Tao Ming: "I have found a total of sixty-six errors in the 'Chong Xuan Scripture'!"
Chong Xuanzi: "Heh heh, I'm sorry, I have found a total of sixty-eight errors in the 'Chong Xuan Scripture', exactly two more than you!"
Elder Tao Ming: "I have also found errors in other cultivation manuals of the Chong Xuan Sect..."
Chong Xuanzi: "I'm sorry, I have too..."
...
Elder Tao Ming and Chong Xuanzi entered a "spot the difference" mode. They boasted about how many mistakes they had found in the "Chong Xuan Sect's" cultivation manuals, keeping the score incredibly tight, with Chong Xuanzi leading at one moment, and Elder Tao Ming overtaking the next...
The Golden Core cultivators on the side listened in stunned silence.
Are these two old scoundrels really the Sect Master and Grand Elder of the "Chong Xuan Sect"? Why does it feel like they are trampling on the sect's dignity?
With so many errors found in a sect's cultivation manuals, aren't they embarrassed?
The coffins of the past patriarchs of the "Chong Xuan Sect" are about to pop open!
Not far away, at a large bluestone table, a group of people were gathered.
Qing Feng Zhenren, who was in the center, frowned.
"Those two, Tao Ming and Chong Xuanzi, are being a bit unruly. Should we try to stop them? They're playing 'Landlord'!"
Chi Lian, seated below Qing Feng Zhenren, shook his head indifferently.
"Let them be. This is the Chong Xuan Sect's own business, it's not appropriate for outsiders to interfere. They're playing 'Landlord'!"
The Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou, a mythical beast, roared excitedly.
"Roar!"
Then, the Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou extended its nimble foreclaws and threw out two cards.
A pair of Jacks!
Looking at the cards on the table, Qing Feng Zhenren frowned.
"Fellow Daoist Chi Lian, you're defending the landlord, you should play big cards, why did you play a pair of Tens and let the landlord's pair of Jacks escape!"
Chi Lian was unconvinced.
"I played a pair of Tens, setting the stage, and now I can win it all in one go!"
Really?
Qing Feng Zhenren's eyes lit up.
A pair of Twos!
He played the strongest pair!
That's right, they were playing cards at this very moment!
Qing Feng Zhenren, Chi Lian, and the Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou formed a card game, ah呸... no, two people and one beast formed a card game.
The remaining Golden Core cultivators watched with keen interest.
Everyone's spiritual and cultural life had been greatly enhanced!
Yun Peng Zhenren of the "Deyun Sect" laughed heartily and clapped his hands, saying.
"A pair of Twos, that's a game-changer, the landlord definitely can't match it, we've won!"
Roar!
The Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou let out a low growl, its eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
A pair of Twos is a game-changer? How ridiculous!
Then, the Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou drew three cards and slammed them onto the table with unparalleled dominance.
Three 3s!
This...
Qing Feng Zhenren and Chi Lian looked at the cards on the table with grim expressions.
Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou, you're being a little too much!
Three 3s are bigger than a pair of Twos?
The other Golden Core cultivators murmured amongst themselves, the rules weren't like this!
In response, the Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou was prepared.
*Pa!*
It snapped its fingers with flair.
A plump parrot hopped over.
The leader of the "Parrot Hall," Fat Parrot.
Why was this guy hopping instead of flying?
Simple, it was too fat to fly!
The Fat Parrot stood before the Golden Core cultivators, showing no fear, cleared its throat, and said.
"Is 3 bigger than 2? Three 3s are bigger than a pair of 2s in both the number of cards and the card face value!"
Uh...
Qing Feng Zhenren, Chi Lian, and even the Golden Core cultivators hesitated!
If one had to interpret it that way, it wasn't entirely unreasonable.
The most crucial point was that they had no idea about the rules of "Dou Dizhu" (Landlord's Game); everything they knew came from the Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou.
Since the Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou explained it this way, they would just assume such a rule existed!
Qing Feng Zhenren nodded, accepting defeat!
However, he wouldn't admit to losing.
The next second, Qing Feng Zhenren threw out two cards.
King of Spades, King of Hearts, a Royal Flush!
Heh heh, this time you've lost for sure!
A Royal Flush, the ultimate bomb, unbeatable!
Qing Feng Zhenren looked at the Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou with a smile, displaying the demeanor of a victor!
The Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou bared its teeth and sneered.
So what if you have a bomb?
Qing Feng Zhenren's heart sank, Uh oh, I have a bad feeling something else is going to happen!
As expected, the Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou, with lightning speed, played three cards.
Ace, Ace, Nine!
This...
Everyone was dumbfounded!
What cards are these?
A pair of Aces, and a Nine, completely unrelated, how could they be played together?
*Pa!*
The Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou snapped its fingers.
The Fat Parrot made its reappearance.
"Big Brother said, in his hometown, 119 is the fire emergency line, specifically for defusing bombs!"
Oh!
We understand... my foot!
An Ace can be considered a 1, that's fine!
But what the hell is a 119 fire emergency line?
Specifically for defusing bombs, that's too outrageous!
Qing Feng Zhenren and Chi Lian could no longer stand it. They protested to the Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou.
You're cheating!
"Roar!"
The Bi Tong Zi Jin Hou was not to be outdone, roaring and confronting the Golden Core cultivators.
Damn it!
If I can't beat the big shots at cards, and I can't beat that little freak Liu Xiu, can't I at least bully you noobs!
