The process of quickly establishing a relationship with the Sword God and the Heavenly Master was much simpler than Su Anran imagined.
Probably because these two young men have not gone out on adventures yet, so they are not aware of the dangers of the monastic world. They still believe in the saying that "human beings are originally good by nature" and have nothing to guard against Su Anran. Of course,
A more likely theory is that he admires Su Anran's insight and knowledge - Su Anran found that most of the practitioners in this world only know how to read and arithmetic, and their literary talent does not seem to be that high.
He felt that even if he wrote a limerick, he would be amazed.
However, due to this, Su Anran became somewhat interested in the "School Palace" mentioned by Tianshi before.
But right now, he couldn't ask, lest he ruin his profound image in front of the Sword God and the Heavenly Master.
But some people are happy, and naturally some people are unhappy.
The prince's change in attitude towards Su Anran was so obvious that even the Sword God and the Heavenly Master could feel it.
"Is there any conflict with the Crown Prince?" The Sword God asked in a low voice when Professor Su Anran came to Wushan.
"He was worried that I would take away his leadership." Su Anran didn't want to speak at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly smiled and said, "Because I am more experienced and knowledgeable than him, he has lost his ability to lead.
Positioning in this team.”
The Sword God thought about it seriously, and then said somewhat unclearly: "It's just a false name, is it that important?"
People like sword cultivators are basically the type who are stubborn and reckless.
It doesn’t matter whether you say they are tough or upright, but you can’t say they are stupid – maybe those sword cultivators with little talent are stupid, but at least the Sword God is not this type of person, because he clearly understood from the stone tablet
It is not a pure sword move, but a template that can be continuously filled, expanded, and improved. In essence, it is an epiphany that is rarer than simply comprehending a "meaning".
Of course, compared to Tianshi's result, which was almost the same as turning on a cheat device, there was still some gap.
But among this trio, the prince's talent is undoubtedly the lowest.
Because he didn't even fully comprehend the "meaning", he only had a vague idea - at most, this would only allow him to avoid going astray, and would not play any real role in improving his strength.
"For children from aristocratic families like them, the value of this false reputation is comparable to a top-notch Kung Fu book." Su Anran smiled.
He originally wanted to use the expression "weighing more than a thousand gold", but he felt that for a swordsman who was relatively upright and didn't like to turn around when thinking about problems, this formal expression might lead to a biased meaning, so he simply used another one.
simile.
Of course, in this metaphor, Su Anran revealed another meaning with bad intentions.
"A descendant of a noble family..." Sure enough, the Sword God's attention was diverted.
This young man is not stupid. On the contrary, if he were stupid, he would really not be able to understand the two sword move templates.
So at this time, Su Anran would not bother to explain anything in detail. He only needed to reveal such a direction.
Next, neither Su Anran nor Sword God continued to discuss this topic, but worked hard on "The Wind Comes to Wushan".
Su Anran's judgment on whether he has mastered a martial skill accurately is different from that of ordinary people.
He only needs to look at his personal panel to see if the name of this martial skill has appeared on it, and whether this martial skill can be improved by consuming achievement points, and he can clearly judge whether he has mastered it.
After several explanations and drills from the Sword God, and several practical operations by Su Anran, he finally saw the name "Fenglai Wushan" on his personal panel.
But what surprised him was that the level of this sword skill was actually not high.
At least, it's not as good as "The Art of Evil Sword".
Do you want to spend 50 achievement points to upgrade "Wind to Wushan" to the second level?
Do you want to spend 1oo achievement points to upgrade Feng Lai Wushan's proficiency from "Entry" to "Advanced"?
He remembered that when he forcibly upgraded the "Evil Sword Art" to the second level by consuming achievement points, he spent one hundred achievement points. But when he wanted to improve the proficiency of "Evil Sword Art", he needed to spend two hundred.
Achievement points - It's just that the proficiency of "Evil Sword Technique" is related to the speed of condensing the evil sword energy, so Su Anran did not waste achievement points.
The consumption of Fenglai Wushan in all aspects is less than half compared to "The Art of Evil Sword".
In view of this, Su Anran guessed that Feng Lai Wushan's grade should be at least one grade lower than "The Art of Evil Sword".
However, considering that Feng Lai Wushan is just a basic template and a simple sword move. It is not a complete set of sword skills like "Sha Sword Art", so who is stronger and weaker between the two? Su Anran really
There was no way to tell clearly. But at least he knew very well that at the moment he did not need to forcibly improve Feng Lai Wushan's realm and proficiency, so he naturally would not waste these achievement points.
After everyone rested for a while, Su Anran asked: "Where are we going next?"
"According to the previous mission instructions, our next mission destination is the Eshui River next to Qiongshan Mountain." Before the prince could speak, the Tianshi had already said, "Actually, this village is not the destination of our mission. If it were not for the encounter,
If we were passing by, we would have already given up on the side quest in this village."
Su Anran glanced at the Crown Prince with a half-smile.
Previously, the prince's words to him clearly stated that their mission must pass through this village before they can reach it.
Of course, Su Anran had actually heard the conversation between the Crown Prince and the Sword God.
He followed him calmly, just to see if he could profit from it.
Judging from the current results, the harvest is pretty good.
Of course, Su Anran didn't mind, but it didn't mean that the prince's face would look any better after being stabbed by the Heavenly Master.
He glared at the Heavenly Master, and then said: "Brother Passerby, I..."
"No need to explain, I don't care about this." Su Anran gave up with an air of dignity and said with a smile, "My mission is different from yours, so it doesn't matter where I go. And here, I also gained something.
It’s a loss…or rather, if we hadn’t insisted on returning to the village to collect clues later, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve these gains.”
"Look, I just told you that the passers-by won't mind," the Heavenly Master shouted.
Obviously, when Su Anran and the Sword God consulted Feng Lai Wushan, the Crown Prince said something to the Celestial Master in an attempt to brainwash the Celestial Master.
But judging from the current situation, this brainwashing work is not going well.
It can even be said that it was quite a failure.
As a result, the way the Sword God looked at the Crown Prince became a little different.
After all, he easily remembered that the prince had brainwashed him in the same way that time in the woods.
At the beginning, the Sword God might not have thought too much.
But after Su Anran's verbal hint, the Sword God's association ability is now quite rich.
"But we are on the same team now, so I hope we can still be open and honest about our next actions." Su Anran then said again.
"This is natural." The prince smiled awkwardly.
He can already clearly feel that his presence and voice in this team are declining sharply.
Faintly, Su Anran has become the actual leader of this team.
This made the prince feel anxious and irritable in his heart.
"Let's talk about the situation in Qiongshan." Su Anran didn't intend to give the prince any chance at all, and directly took charge of the next mission operation, "Do you know anything about Qiongshan Eshui?"
"I actually learned about it from the villagers." Sword God spoke first, "Qiongshan is about five days' journey east of the village. It produces a kind of spiritual plant called Qiongshan fruit, which is grown in the nearby Eshui River.
The most important raw material for brewing a kind of fruit wine in the town. The monks who were robbed and deceived by the village before were abducted from the Eshui River town... This town is considered to be the largest town in the surrounding area. Basically, there are several nearby towns.
People from every village will choose to conduct various transactions here."
"Regional trade distribution center?" Su Anran thought thoughtfully.
"What do you mean?" Tianshi was a little confused.
"It is the largest trading center in the nearby area. All materials will be concentrated in Eshuihe Town, and then sold through various channels." Su Anran explained a few words, "It can be simply understood as a market."
"Oh." Tianshi nodded in confusion, "I also heard some news... Eshuihe Town is very large, and there are three big families in the town, namely the Tian family, the Ma family and the Xu family. The Tian family
There is a monk who is at the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm, and the heads of the Xu family and the Ma family are at the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm. However, it is said that the ancestor of the Xu family once received the guidance of the hunter in the village and once broke through to the Divine Sea Realm.
So the relationship between the people in the village and the Xu family was relatively close before."
"I've heard about this too." The Sword God said, "Originally, the Xu family was the only family in Eshuihe Town, but I heard that after a certain defeat for unknown reasons, the Ma family and the Tian family got together and formed a three-family alliance.
situation. In the past ten years since the head of the Tian family broke through to the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm, the Tian family has squeezed out the other two families to the point where there is almost no room for survival. Now the Ma family must join forces with the Xu family and rely on Xu family.
Only the family’s past heritage can barely compete with the Tian family.”
Speaking of this, the Sword God's face looked a little strange: "According to the information I heard from the village, the people in the village seemed to be interested in establishing a connection with the Tian family. But this matter seemed to have been known by the Xu family, and now the Xu family has no control over the people in the village.
They all have great opinions.”
Judging from the words of the Sword God and the Heavenly Master, Su Anran gradually understood the background of this town.
It's just that he doesn't know the specific missions of Sword God, Tianshi and others, so it's hard to formulate specific action plans. After all, their current mission is just to let them go to the Eshui River in Qiongshan, and even whether they want to go to Eshui River
Even river towns cannot be sure.
"Your Majesty, is there anything you would like to add?" Su Anran suddenly asked.
"I... no, no." The prince was asked by Su Anran. When he saw the eyes of the Sword God and the Heavenly Master looking over, he couldn't help but ask, "Both the Sword God and the Heavenly Master have found out very clearly.
, I... learned about the same information, so I have nothing to add."
The Heavenly Master didn't have any ideas.
But the Sword God obviously didn't believe the prince's words.
Su Anran naturally knew that the prince had not inquired about any information at all.
In the village at that time, he was busy collecting the secrets of the exercises, so he would not ask about these things. Even if he did ask, he would probably not take it too seriously. After he got the secrets, all his mind was completely immersed in it.
You can guess it.
Su Anran's casual question seemed to show respect for the prince, but in reality, he was putting him on the fire.
At least, the Sword God no longer trusts the Crown Prince at all.
"Since there is nothing to add, how about we go to Eshui River to see the situation first?"
"I have no opinion." Tianshi took the lead in voting.
The prince knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he did not speak.
On the contrary, it was the Sword God who suddenly said: "What I am more worried about now is the situation we will face next after the difficulty increases."
"Difficulty increase?" Su Anran blinked, "What difficulty increase?"
"Before we were found, we received a warning that the difficulty of the mission had increased." The sword god had a bit of uneasiness on his face.
This time, even the Heavenly Master's face showed an uneasy look.
"The difficulty of the mission has increased? Or is it world difficulty?" Su Anran's face also became solemn.
He is no stranger to Infinite Streaming, so he naturally knows what this difficulty increase means.
"World difficulty?" The Sword God doesn't quite understand the meaning of Su Anran's words, at least not now. "No, it's the mission difficulty... I guess it should be the stage of the Eshui River we are going to.
The difficulty of the task has increased. So it is likely that our tasks will change."
"Have we ever encountered this situation before?"
"Yes." It was the Crown Prince who spoke this time, "We entered this world last time."
"What was the result?"
"The last time we entered this world, there were nine of us, not counting the guide."
The last time he entered the world of Infinite Flow, not counting the novice guide, the prince's team had a total of nine people.
But now, excluding the one Su Anran killed, there are only three of them left.
What is the result?
One can imagine.
The proportion of members has dropped sharply, and even Su Anran can feel a bloody aura coming towards his face.
