Chapter 344 Four-Player Mahjong

After finishing setting up the hanging baskets for everyone, Shen Xu looked at the four women who still showed no intention of leaving and couldn't help but feel a headache. He had to find a way to give them something to do, otherwise something bad would happen one day.

Since they've gathered enough people for a mahjong game, why doesn't he just make them a set?

He had this idea before going to the Blood Central Realm, but he didn't have time to implement it. Moreover, at that time, his control over the Wood Intent was far from being able to achieve such precision.

Now that the cyan light cluster has undergone an evolution and its control over the surrounding ancient trees has improved significantly, it can produce the Prayer Crane, so there's no reason why it can't produce the small Mahjong.

With that in mind, he returned to the ancient forest and transmitted the image in his mind to the blue light cluster.

The cyan light cluster also seemed to have difficulty understanding the image Shen Xu transmitted, but Shen Xu didn't need it to understand; he only needed it to reproduce the image.

After some time, following the same process, a fist-sized fruit fell in front of him. After peeling off the outer shell, he found that dense, hair-like yellow fibers were connected to a small wooden cube.

After taking out the cube and examining it carefully, I found that the effect was very good. The pattern on it was very close to the real thing except for the lack of color.

He sent a thought of approval to the cyan light, and then began to tirelessly transmit different images to it.

As yellow fruits fell one by one around him, he assembled a simple wooden mahjong set in less than half an hour.

Looking at the mahjong set in front of him, Shen Xu couldn't help but sigh. Although he had been in this world for so many years since coming from Earth, he didn't expect that he would still remember the rules so clearly.

He vaguely remembered that his family could only get together to play mahjong during the Chinese New Year, so he cherished that short period of time. But now he couldn't even remember what they looked like.

However, such a deck of cards is definitely not suitable for the four women. With their strength and soul power, even the slightest mark on the deck would be equivalent to an open deck for them, let alone such a crude deck.

But he only intended to use this deck of cards to teach them the rules; if they really liked it, they would solve the problem themselves.

When he returned to the front of the cabin, he found the four women sitting around the table, chatting away, while Qi Ling Baihe had already eaten and gone back to sleep.

"Shen Xu, what's wrong with you today? You've been going back and forth so much." Bai Lu asked in confusion.

“I see you feeding the white cranes every day, and it seems quite boring. There’s a kind of card game in my hometown that can be played by four people, so I made it for you to play.”

Upon hearing this, the four women looked at Shen Xu with some surprise.

"Really? I want to play!" Ye Zhi said excitedly.

"It's rare that you still think of us!" Guanbi said with a smile.

"Since you've already done it, I'll reluctantly give it a try!" Although Bai Lu said it nonchalantly, the expectant look in her eyes betrayed her.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyi remained silent, Shen Xu couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyi, would you like to give it a try?"

“I want to take a look first. I don’t really trust things from your hometown,” Li Xiaoyi said softly.

"Uh... actually, handshakes are quite normal where we're from, but I can guarantee there will be absolutely no physical contact in this game." After saying that, Shen Xu took out the cards and placed them on the table.

"Shen Xu, how did you make this? There are absolutely no traces of carving." Guan Bi asked in surprise, holding up a cube.

"It grows from a tree."

Seeing the women's somewhat shocked reactions, Shen Xu couldn't help but smile. Then he began to explain the specific rules of mahjong in a serious manner. In order to reduce possible trouble, he replaced the tiles with characters from Blue Star with characters from the True Origin Continent.

The four women were all extremely intelligent geniuses. The rules of mahjong were not complicated once they were understood. After his simple explanation, they were able to apply what they had learned to other situations. In the end, they even began to point out the errors in his memory regarding the rules.

After a while, all four of them showed great interest in the game.

After winning a round by luck, Bai Lu became complacent and started urging everyone to gamble on Nourishing Essence Pills.

Seeing Bai Lu's excited expression, Shen Xu couldn't help but think of Bai Lu, who played rock-paper-scissors with him at Qinghu Lake. She was both terrible at it and loved to play.

Fortunately, Guanbi knew her young lady well enough to change the bet to Qi-Nourishing Pills.

At this moment, Li Xiaoyi frowned as she looked at the cards she had just drawn, Guan Bi looked helplessly at Bai Lu who was beaming, and Ye Zhi glanced at Bai Lu from time to time.

This situation clearly indicates that Ye Zhi knows Bai Lu has the cards she needs, and there's a high probability she'll play them.

Finally, even the Qiling White Crane became curious and circled around the four of them, constantly asking Shen Xu some related questions.

Unfortunately, he had forgotten some of the bonus hand types, otherwise the fun would have been much greater, but he had already achieved his goal.

Feeling that he was no longer needed here, Shen Xu walked into the ancient forest and began to concentrate on his cultivation.

As the sun set, Shen Xu slowly exhaled wisps of azure energy from his mouth and nose. Although he had hardly cultivated in the Blood Central Realm, he found himself on the verge of a breakthrough after waking up, and breaking through to the late stage of the Qi Condensation Realm should not be far off.

After much thought, the only option he could think of was the Ancient Forest. He remembered that he broke through to the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation Realm in the Ancient Forest, and it was probably around that time that the black seed entered his soul.

Looking at the approaching evening sky, Shen Xu got up to go back and check on the situation, but when he returned to the cabin, he found that the people in front of the cabin were gone.

He was not surprised by the result. After all, mahjong is just a toy for ordinary people. They would probably get tired of it after playing for a while. Besides, they could memorize all the tiles in his deck after playing it a few times, so they really couldn't play for very long.

However, this also left him somewhat disappointed, as he wanted to know who had lost the most today!

It seems they still have their own things to do; it would be even better if they didn't take his mahjong set with them.

Continuing to walk across the Qingling River, Shen Xu noticed that none of the houses were lit, and sensed something was wrong. "Where are they? They shouldn't be out at this time. Is something urgent? If so, why didn't they tell me?"

But he had no solution to this, as he did not have the ability to leave Qingling Creek on his own.

He remembered Bai Lu telling him that as long as he could take the Spirit White Crane through the Tianhe Society's Spirit Beast Garden assessment, he could register the Spirit White Crane under the Sword Alliance's name and gain the qualification to fly outside the flying network.

He thought he could try to discuss it with Qi Ling Baihe, because it would take him some time to break through to the Qi Sea Realm. Even if he broke through to the Qi Sea Realm, he would still have to follow the flight path in Tianjian Mountain. If he were a flying demon beast, he wouldn't be subject to so many restrictions.

But what exactly is the relationship between the Praying White Crane and those two Spirit White Cranes? If they are very close, given its personality, it certainly wouldn't allow it to have designs on those two Spirit White Cranes.

With that in mind, he decided to go directly to Qiling Baihe and ask him.
