Chapter 97: Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting. Who Can Compare To Senior?!

The news of Granny Nine Serenities’ re-emergence naturally wouldn’t spread so quickly throughout the immortal cultivation world.

At most, some mighty figures who had already fused their hearts with the Dao would have a slight premonition of impending disaster under the reminder of the Great Dao.

The Convention of Ten Thousand Immortals was also being held in full swing.

The flying boat of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had already crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains and arrived at a place called ‘Pottery Capital’!

Speaking of this Tao capital, one had to mention the famous ‘Pottery King’!

The Ceramic King’s name was Sun Xide. His ancestor was from the Ceramic Capital. He had been making official pottery for the imperial family of the Great Xia. Later on, he committed an unknown crime and was eventually sent to this small corner of the Southern Mountain Range!

Although his family background was no longer prominent, his ability to make pottery was not forgotten by the Sun family!

When it was passed down to Sun Xide’s generation, it was already the seventeenth generation of the Ceramic King!

The Sun family naturally produced a lot of pottery. There was blue and white porcelain in the ancient times, and there were ancient rhymes and flowing money. All of them were top-notch pottery skills!

Among the pottery skills passed down from the Sun family’s ancestors, there was a saying of nine hands and seventeen cuts.

It was a saying of nine top-notch pottery skills, and seventeen types of pottery tools that were never passed down to outsiders. No one knew how to make them!

In the hands of Sun Xide, the art of pottery was even more developed. There were even rumors that it was going to re-enter the imperial family of the Great Xia dynasty. Moreover, it was a mode of direct cooperation with all the imperial families on the continent!

Therefore, in the immortal cultivation world, the Convention of Ten Thousand Immortals was perhaps the most lively. However, in the mortal world, the five-year pottery convention that the Sun family was holding was also a rare event!

It actually passed by this place, and the flying boat was extremely fast. There was no such situation where it couldn’t catch up to the Convention of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Therefore, under Liu Changgong’s suggestion, the few of them got off the flying boat.

They started to play around in the Ceramic Capital!

Speaking of which, Liu Changgong’s ceramic art was also at the peak of the perfection realm!

Now that they had come to the Ceramic Capital that they had heard of before, if they couldn’t witness the ‘nine hands and seventeen cuts’ of the Sun family, even for Liu Changgong, it was a small regret!

“Senior, have you been here before?”

As soon as they got off the flying boat, Wang Yuyan, Yu Hongye, and Shang Chan were chattering non-stop at the side.

It was true that they were usually hard at cultivation. Although they had a lot of free time, they were mostly related to the cultivation world.

It was the first time that they had experienced such a bustling Mortal World!

Liu Changgong shook his head with a smile. He had been busy with all kinds of miscellaneous things in the past.

After realizing that it was impossible for him to cultivate immortality, he did not pursue any further. He just opened a small shop to pass the time!

If there was no flying boat, a celestial object that could travel thousands of miles a day, in this era, it was very rare for mortals to travel thousands of miles!

In this era, there were no cars or trains, and mortals could only travel in carriages at most.

It was already good enough for a carriage to travel hundreds of miles a day!

Who would be so bored as to come all the way to Ceramic City!?

“Although I’ve heard of it, I’ve never been here before!” Liu Changgong said indifferently, and at the same time, he looked at a display board by the roadside!

This was the most basic way for the government, major families, and forces to convey all kinds of news to the ordinary people!

There were all kinds of announcements, wanted notices, and so on.

In the middle was a cardboard with the word ‘Sun’ written on it. Of course, this was the announcement of the Sun family of the Ceramic King!

The date was half a month ago.

“Dear colleagues, the Sun family is proud of the art of ceramics. We will stay in a corner and never forget our ancestors.”

“In the middle of this month, the once-every-five-years Ceramic Arts Convention will be held by the Ceramic River in the Ceramic Bureau as scheduled.

“At that time, the members of the royal family will come to watch the ceremony. The other members of the Ceramic Capital will also show their skills.”

“Let’s have a showdown today. All my colleagues can come and watch!”

“Sun Xide!”

After watching it, Liu Changgong only smiled faintly. Yu Hongye, who was standing beside him, said angrily, “The Sun family is quite arrogant. How can they say that they are honored by the ceramic arts!”

Who among them didn’t know that apart from the three unique skills of calligraphy, painting, and zither, Senior Liu was also a rare opponent in the world of chess, wine, tea, and ceramics?

Now, this Sun family was boasting shamelessly. They actually dared to say that they were the masters of ceramic arts. They really didn’t know who this master was?

Liu Changgong shook his head and said with a faint smile, “In any case, he is the Ceramic King. It’s not a problem to exaggerate a little. It can’t be that there is someone in the world who is stronger than me, right?”

After pausing for a moment, he spoke again, “As an artist, regardless of whether it’s the art of pottery, tea, or wine, there’s no way to clearly determine who’s better.”

Yu Hongye was still a little unhappy. Wang Yuyan, who was beside him, smiled charmingly. Her cherry lips slightly opened as she said softly, “He’s just a mortal. Why are you arguing with them?”

After Yu Hongye heard this, he deeply agreed. He could not help but nod his head and look at Liu Changgong.

Her eyes were sparkling with worship!

“Senior is still amazing. If we really say that you are the most respected person in ceramic arts, then I believe that Senior is the only one!”

Wang Yuyan also turned into a little fangirl and repeatedly nodded her head.

“Not only is ceramic arts respected, there are also wine arts, tea arts, zither arts, chess arts… All of these, Senior is respected!”

“Hahaha!”

Liu Changgong laughed loudly.

However, Shang Chan’s eyes did not stay on the display board for long. After looking at it, she immediately turned to look at the various delicacies on the long street in front of her!

Liu Changgong smiled lightly as he picked up Weiqi and said, “Let’s go and have a good stroll! Tomorrow is the time for the Ceramic Art Convention. Let’s find a place to stay and join in the fun tomorrow!”

“Okay!”

“I’ll listen to Senior!”

“Senior, I want to eat that…”

The last sentence was Shang Chan, who had been drooling for a long time!

As the saying went, among girls, a little foodie was the most adorable.

If this little foodie was a beautiful and lovely girl like Shang Chan, it would make people love her even more.

At this moment, not to mention Liu Changgong looking at the pitiful Shang Chan, he had the urge to give all the money he had to her.

Even Wang Yuyan and Yu Hongye couldn’t help but take out spirit stones…

Of course, in the Mortal World, Spirit Stones shouldn’t be used.

Among mortals, gold, silver, and other things were still common.

“Hahaha, let’s go! Let’s eat, let’s eat, let’s eat!”

Shang Chan’s eyes lit up. She took the lead and asked the boss for seven or eight portions.

Liu Changgong waved his hand and said, “We can’t eat so much!”

Shang Chan blinked his eyes. It took her two seconds to realize what was happening and said, “Oh, right, and you guys… Boss, five more servings!”

The others looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh after a long while!

Shang Chan was really a total foodie!
