Humph! Your Excellency sneaked into the house secretly, committing adultery or stealing! You dare to pretend to be a ghost, no..." The old Taoist may have been used to being flattered by the people in the palace these days, so he shouted sharply without thinking.
But when he used his celestial eye technique to take a look at Bai Ran, his originally angry face immediately froze, and then turned pale.
"Your Excellency...are you a senior in the foundation building stage?"
The old Taoist stuttered, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"Didn't you use magic to see it?" Bai Ran's smile faded and he said calmly.
"Senior, don't blame me. I have never seen a senior cultivator who has established a foundation before. The highest cultivation level I have ever seen is only a monk at the 11th or 2nd level of the Qi Refining Stage. I really can't judge the senior's cultivation! I only know that senior
My cultivation level is unfathomable!" Seeing this, the old Taoist hurriedly extinguished the fireball in his hand as if he were just waking up from a dream, stepped forward to salute and explained repeatedly, with a look of apology and caution on his face.
Bai Ran was startled when he saw that the old Taoist did not show fear like the old man surnamed Xiao, but instead showed faint excitement.
But then after thinking about it for a while, I understood what the other person was thinking.
At such an old age, this old white-haired Taoist is still wandering around the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Most likely, he is a casual cultivator and has poor qualifications, so he has never been able to get in touch with monks with high magical powers. After all, even a casual cultivator can only
Communicate with people who have similar cultivation levels and call each other brothers.
Now, after meeting him, a high-level monk in the foundation-building stage, the other party naturally treated him as a rare adventure, and most likely wanted to get some benefit from him!
After thinking about this, Bai Ran couldn't help but smile. If the other party could satisfy him, he wouldn't mind giving the other party a little sweetness.
Bai Ran looked at Lao Dao and said slowly.
"You guessed it right, I am indeed a foundation-building monk!"
After hearing Bai Ran's words, the white-haired old Taoist's expression became more respectful, and of course the joy in his eyes also became a bit more.
"I wonder if the senior suddenly appeared here. Does he have anything to tell the junior?" the Taoist priest said respectfully.
This man was also very wise and knew that he wanted to get some benefits from Bai Ran. Naturally, he had to do something.
After hearing this, Bai Ran showed a look of satisfaction on his face and said with a chuckle:
"Tell me about your origin first. I saw the skill of controlling fire with your hands in the palace today. It was very good!" Bai Ran gave the other party a small compliment first, but he really meant it!
After hearing what Bai Ran said, a look of astonishment flashed across the old Taoist's face.
He didn't expect that this senior would actually see his performance, but he hurriedly replied humbly:
"Don't dare, let senior laugh! The junior is only good at controlling the art of fire. He can also use his hands to show off others, but other techniques are a mess! As for the origin of the junior, there is actually nothing to say. The junior is when he was young.
I accidentally obtained a copy of "Fire Sun Jue" from a dying cultivator, and then entered the world of cultivating immortals. Unfortunately, my qualifications were too poor, and there was no one to guide me, so I could only barely reach the sixth level.
"
"Is your fire manipulation technique also the technique in that book?" Bai Ran became a little interested and asked casually.
"That's not true. This fire manipulation technique is a set of tricks that I had no choice but to figure out when I had reached a bottleneck in my practice and couldn't make any progress. However, after decades of improvement and modification, it is actually my most recent achievement.
It’s a place of pride.”
"Did you research it yourself?" Bai Ran was shocked and looked at the white-haired old man again, showing a bit of surprise.
"That's right, senior! The junior also wrote this little bit of his own ideas into a book called "Nongyan Jue". If the senior doesn't dislike it, just take it and give it to the junior to give some pointers!" The old Taoist seemed to be interested when he saw Bai Ran.
He looked very interested in the art of fire manipulation. With an idea, he hurriedly took out a thin book from his body and handed it to Bai Ran respectfully.
Bai Ran was slightly startled when he saw this!
To be honest, although Bai Ran found this person's flame transformation technique strange, he had no intention of forcing the opponent's mental skills.
He didn't think that this little fire-manipulating skill would be of much use to him now!
But the old man suddenly offered it, which surprised him, so he took it and looked at it a few times.
At first, Bai Ran just looked at the book with an indifferent attitude.
But as he watched, Bai Ran's face remained as calm as ever, but his heart gradually became shocked.
Some of the tips for changing the form of flames mentioned at the beginning of this book are indeed of little significance to today's Bai Ran. They are purely flashy. However, in the last few pages of this book, the veteran proposed a method of using magic.
Fuzzy concepts and several certain
Practicing the method gave Bai Ran a feeling of enlightenment and he felt that he had benefited a lot.
After a moment, Bai Ran gently closed the book.
Now is not the time to study the exercises. It is better to wait until you have free time to ponder the contents of this book!
I believe this will bring his understanding and application of magic to a higher level.
"I accepted this book! I know that although you asked me to give you some advice, you actually wanted to give the book to me as a gift. As a senior, I will never ask for your things in vain. Here are some
There are Taoist books, magic weapons of all levels, and several kinds of elixirs that are very useful in the Qi refining period. You can choose one of them as a reward for this book. Now I will give you time for a cup of tea.
Think it through."
After Bai Ran took a deep look at Lao Dao, he said something that made Lao Dao extremely excited.
"Thank you, senior, thank you for your love, senior!" A blush appeared on the white-haired old man's face, and he was trembling with excitement.
After Bai Ran smiled faintly, she didn't say anything, but gently closed her eyes and sat on the chair to relax.
The old man, like an ant on a hot pot, began to pace back and forth in the room, looking like he was in a dilemma and found it difficult to give up.
"How about it, have you thought about it?"
After a while, Bai Ran felt that the time was almost up, so he opened his eyes and asked calmly.
"Junior has thought about it. I want some elixir that can help monks in the Qi refining stage break through the bottleneck." After Bai Ran asked, the old Taoist finally made up his mind and said decisively.
Bai Ran didn't show any surprise after hearing this. He guessed that the other party should also choose elixirs. After all, magic weapons and Taoist books can be obtained after the skill has advanced greatly.
So after Bai Ran nodded lightly, he flicked his sleeves on the table, and two identical celadon vials appeared on the mahogany table.
"Here are two bottles of Huanglong Pill, which are obviously effective for monks below the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage. Take them!" Bai Ran said calmly.
"The tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage..., thank you for your love, senior! Thank you..." The old Taoist looked at the two bottles of elixirs with burning eyes. After thanking him repeatedly, he excitedly stepped forward and took the two bottles of elixirs into his hands.
Then, he couldn't wait to open the lid of one of the bottles, put it under his nose and smelled it twice, with a satisfied look on his face.
"I'm looking for you this time because I actually have something else for you to do. After I finish it, I will thank you again!" Bai Ran didn't panic when he saw that the other party carefully put the medicine bottle into his arms.
He was busy talking about the main purpose of this trip.
Under the heavy reward, Bai Ran didn't believe that the other party would not be tempted.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the old Taoist was stunned for a moment and immediately said with a smile:
"Senior, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. I will definitely die without mercy!"
After hearing this, Bai Ran smiled slightly and said:
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want you to pay more attention to the whereabouts of your apprentice, the young prince, and the palace manager. If anything unusual happens, just tell me!"
Although Bai Ran said it in an understatement, the old Taoist felt a little dumbfounded when he heard it.
He really didn't expect that this senior would let him spy on two mortals, and one of them would soon become his beloved disciple.
The old Taoist, who was puzzled, glanced at Bai Ran carefully, and asked in a tentative tone:
"Can this junior know the reason? Is there anything wrong with these two people?"
The old Taoist asked very carefully, fearing that an unintentional word might offend this expert.
Bai Ran didn't show any displeasure on his face, but he didn't immediately reply to the Taoist priest's question. Instead, he considered it for a moment before saying in a deep voice:
"I am actually a monk from the Yellow Maple Valley among the seven sects. The demonic path is invading our country, you should know about it! And I suspect that the two of them may be related to the demonic people. So I need someone to help me keep an eye on their whereabouts at all times.
,in case!"
Although Bai Ran believed that Manager Wang and the young prince should not be people of the devil's way, it was better to be cautious. Bai Ran still had great scruples about these two people who could not figure out the details, so he
They found Lao Dao in advance and asked him to monitor their actions.
However, of course, he couldn't tell all this directly to the old man, so he had to simply blame it on the devil, which would save him from explaining the matter clearly.
After all, these two people are very dangerous. It is just a conclusion drawn based on feelings. It cannot be stated clearly.
