When he muttered those words, Qi Jing Chun couldn't help but steal another smile.
Although his senior brother, Cui Bai, had now betrayed the Wen Sheng lineage.
In reality, their brotherly affection was still quite good.
And they were even planning to play a game of chess together.
But this game of chess, rather than being a joint effort, was actually a coincidence to some extent.
It was just that they both happened to have that goal.
Then they found common ground.
And at first, they both played on their own.
It was just that they all converged in the end.
Moreover, although they had the same goal, did they not also have the heart of a game?
Therefore, Qi Jing Chun was really eager to see what expression Cui Bai would have when he discovered that someone who could directly shatter the chessboard had suddenly appeared on this game of chess.
He thought that such an expression would definitely be quite spectacular.

On the other side.
After Li Mu Bai explained to Chen Mu and Chen Ping An that the anomaly was Qing Ping Sword, he continued to walk with them.
Soon they came to Long Xu Creek.
Upon arriving here, Chen Mu couldn't help but ask Li Mu Bai, "Mu Bai, what kind of stones are you planning to collect with Xiao Ping An?"
She was truly baffled.
After all, in her eyes, Li Mu Bai was now equivalent to an immortal.
Even she, the Water God, could be enlightened by him, wasn't that what an immortal was?
Therefore, she truly didn't understand what kind of stones would pique the interest of an immortal like Li Mu Bai.
Could it be the so-called opportunity?
"Serpent Gall Stone."
Li Mu Bai replied softly.
"What's that?" Chen Ping An blinked, completely clueless.
Although he had collected stones from Long Xu Creek, he really didn't know what a Serpent Gall Stone was.
"It's the kind you collect that you think are very pretty, with different colors." Li Mu Bai calmly explained.
"Then what's the purpose of this Serpent Gall Stone?" Chen Ping An asked again.
"The Serpent Gall Stone is condensed from the essence of true dragon blood. This kind of Serpent Gall Stone has a great benefit for all dragon-like creatures in the world, allowing their bloodline to advance. Many dragon-like creatures will gain a significant increase in strength after swallowing the Serpent Gall Stone.
If this thing is taken outside of Li Zhu Cave Heaven and sold for money, it's particularly valuable." Li Mu Bai explained again.
"Ah...particularly valuable!!"
Chen Ping An's eyes couldn't help but shine.
He had been so poor.
Of course, he really wanted to make money.
Moreover, while this thing wasn't something that could be collected just by casually scooping it up, he remembered that it wasn't difficult to collect.
He had collected some before.
It was definitely easier than going up the mountain to collect herbs.
However, his eyes only shone slightly, and he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Zhi Gui, "That, Zhi Gui, since this Serpent Gall Stone is formed from true dragon blood, doesn't that mean it's formed from your blood?
So, these Serpent Gall Stones are actually all yours?!"
"Consider you clever. Since you know, then all the Serpent Gall Stones you collect later must all be given to me." Zhi Gui looked at Chen Ping An with great pride.
"Uh, well...since it's yours, then it should indeed be given to you."
Chen Ping An scratched his head, a look of regret on his face.
Although he really wanted to sell them for money, since this thing was formed from Zhi Gui's blood and belonged to someone, of course he wouldn't claim it for himself.
This was Chen Ping An's way of dealing with the world.
If it weren't for the matter of Gu Can in the story, he was really close to being cultivated into a moral saint.
"Hmph, that's more like it! Since you're quite sensible, my master protects me, and I, well, I can protect you too. If you ever get bullied when going out, just use my name, Zhi Gui." Zhi Gui snorted.
"Ouch!"
The next second, Zhi Gui was completely defeated.
She was flicked on the forehead by Li Mu Bai.
She was holding her head and crying out in pain.
"Master!"
Even as she cried out, she looked at Li Mu Bai pitifully.
It was completely a pitiful look.
This expression, combined with her current appearance as a little girl, was simply adorable.
It made Li Mu Bai want to flick her on the forehead again.
This little maidservant was really interesting.
Besides, Li Mu Bai was also happy to see Zhi Gui's cheerful appearance, rather than the selfish and cold character from the story.
"According to your logic, you protect Chen Ping An, and he has to give you the Serpent Gall Stone, while I protect you, then tell me, who should these Serpent Gall Stones belong to." Li Mu Bai looked at Zhi Gui with a smile.
"Ah...no, Master! I...I have benefits from swallowing the Serpent Gall Stone. It can further unlock my strength, and my physique, etc., will also become stronger! After all, I am just a dragon transformed, my physical strength is simply not comparable to my peak state.
The Serpent Gall Stone is definitely a great tonic for me."
Zhi Gui's previous smile had completely frozen, and she looked at Li Mu Bai with great grievance.
"Moreover, Master, you can't use this Serpent Gall Stone."
"Only dragon-like creatures have an effect after swallowing the Serpent Gall Stone. Ordinary people have no effect at all if they swallow it.
Or rather, the benefits they receive are far less than those enjoyed by dragon-like creatures."
Li Mu Bai shrugged, "Even if it's useless to me, I am still your master, so this thing must first be in my hands, and then it can be in your hands. And how much I give you depends on your performance."
"If you're good, you'll get a reward, if you're not good, tsk tsk tsk, none at all."
"Master, are you raising me as a pet?! How can you do that?" Zhi Gui widened her eyes.
