On the vegetable market street in Jiyuan Town, Qiu Qi was counting the things she would buy today with her fingers.
'Pepper...fat oil...three leeks...ah, I'm going to make fried chicken today. I wonder if Uncle Wang will leave some in the back kitchen~'
"oops!"
Just when Qiu Qi was thinking about the delicious fried chicken, the copper plate she was holding in her hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"Oh, don't run, don't run!"
But of course the copper coin would not listen to her words, and it continued to roll forward, faster and faster, until a big hand suddenly fell from the sky and grabbed it.
Qiu Qi, who was chasing the copper coins, blinked and slowly raised her eyes along with the big hand.
"Did you drop it?" Luo Wenzhou asked Qiu Qi while holding the copper plate.
Just as Qiu Qi was about to say thank you, she saw an extremely handsome face appearing in front of her.
"Boom! Boom!"
Qiu Qi, who could almost hear her own heartbeat, said stiffly: "Yes... I dropped it, thank you."
After hearing this, Luo Wenzhou looked at the copper coins and said, "Thank you."
Qiu Qi felt a little strange. She looked at Luo Wenzhou and asked, "Master, why do you thank me for this copper plate?"
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk to you." Luo Wenzhou looked at Qiu Qi with a smile.
"Boom! Boom!"
This time, Qiu Qi was sure that she could indeed hear her heartbeat, and she even felt that her heart was about to jump out.
Qiu Qi, who had never heard such love talk before, turned red all of a sudden and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
I can only keep doing you, you, me, me, me.
"I'm sorry, Xiaosheng was rude. I'll give you back the coin." Luo Wenzhou said and handed the coin back to Qiu Qi.
Quickly grabbing the copper plate back into her hand, Qiu Qi lowered her head and said, "No...it doesn't matter."
"Then...will you, girl, go to this vegetable market with me?"
Qiu Qi couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "What's there to do in this vegetable market street?"
"This is my first time traveling here, so I want to see everywhere."
Qiu Qi immediately became excited when she heard this, "So this is your first time coming to our Jiyuan Town? No wonder..."
"What's the wonder?" Seeing Qiu Qi hesitate to speak, Luo Wenzhou asked.
How could Qiu Qi say what was in her heart, 'No wonder she has never seen such a good-looking person.' She quickly waved her hand and said: "Nothing... nothing, then I will take you to the vegetable market."
"Thanks."
At dusk, Qiu Qi, who had become somewhat familiar with Luo Wenzhou, was extremely reluctant to go back, but she only had so much time to come out. If it was any later, she would be in trouble.
So in front of a sculpture, Qiu Qi looked up at Luo Wenzhou and said, "Sir... I have to go back to my house, otherwise the people in my house will be worried."
When Luo Wenzhou heard this, he quickly slapped his forehead and said, "It's all my fault for almost delaying the girl. Let's go quickly. I'll escort the girl back."
Although Qiu Qi wanted to say no, she was reluctant to speak in the end. When she lowered her head and raised her head, she pointed to the west and said, "Just... right there."
"Okay, let's go."
Arriving all the way to a spectacular mansion, Luo Wenzhou sighed: "So this is the Ye Mansion, it's so grand."
"Yes, our master hired several masters to build it. Look at the flower garden, isn't it particularly beautiful?"
After hearing this, Luo Wenzhou shook his head, looked at Qiu Qi and said, "I don't think those flowers are as good as your case."
"Oops! Master, you are teasing Qi'er by saying this again. You are saying... Qi'er really ignores you!" However, even though he said this, the smile on Qiu Qi's face was different.
It can't be hidden either.
"Okay, since the girl doesn't want to listen, then Xiaosheng won't say anything anymore. If..."
"No...no! It's not that I don't want to hear it, it's...yes..."
"Then should Xiaosheng say it... or should he not say it?"
"I...I don't know either! I should go back." Qiu Qi stamped her feet, but she had no intention of leaving.
Luo Wenzhou took advantage of the situation and said, "I wonder if I can see you again, girl?"
"Well... if the young master still wants to see me..." After Qiu Qi finished speaking, she looked around and saw no one around, whispered a few words in Luo Wenzhou's ear, and then ran away like a frightened rabbit.
…
At Youshi the next day, Jiang Beiran's indifferent expression almost stopped after listening to Luo Wenzhou's report.
'If you haven't lived in Naye Mansion for decades, it's absolutely impossible for you to understand the entire mansion like this, right?'
The report submitted by Luo Wenzhou can be said to be extremely detailed. It covers everything from when the Ye family worships their ancestors to what posture the youngest child of the Ye family likes to pee in. It was all thoroughly investigated.
However, Jiang Beiran also chose to ask Luo Wenzhou to inquire because he took a fancy to Luo Wenzhou's intelligence gathering ability, so although he was a little surprised, it was only a little.
"Well done." After patting Luo Wenzhou on the shoulder, Jiang Beiran said, "Just rest for a while tonight and I'll teach you some new elixir recipes."
Luo Wenzhou's glasses lit up after hearing this, and he immediately raised his hands to Jiang Beiran and said, "Thank you, Master."
After finishing a delicious dinner, Luo Wenzhou sat beside the cauldron set up by Jiang Beiran and listened carefully to the teachings.
When describing the temperature required to refine the Lingzi Pill, Jiang Beiran looked at Luo Wenzhou and asked, "Do you still remember what I told you when I first taught you how to refine the pill?"
"Disciples will keep this in mind."
"Well, say it again."
"Master said that all metals are poisonous. If you don't refine the poison, make it into powder, and pretend to transform it into a magical elixir. If the poison is not removed, if you take bait for a long time and violate the prohibitions, you will be killed."
"Very good. Although your Jade Lin Body can resolve some of the toxicity of elixirs, when you refine those high-quality elixirs in the future, it will not be so easy to remove the toxicity from the elixirs, so I'll teach you while I'm here.
To refine this Purple Spirit Pill, I decided to teach you another method of refining the pill, which is called Hanchan Jue."
After hearing this, Luo Wenzhou was overjoyed and immediately picked up the pen in his hand to record it.
"The yintong turns into sand, and then it is exposed to the six bright fires in the south, with yang on the outside and yin on the inside..."
At this time, Wu Qingce, who was standing in the corner of the tent and listening, suddenly felt sleepy. He had no choice but to do it. The alchemy method his senior brother said was too profound. The more he stood up, the more confused he became. The more confused he became, the more sleepy he became.
Glancing at the "shaky" Wu Qingce, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but think of his deskmates in elementary school who were trying to prevent him from falling asleep. Their struggling expressions were like a**.
However, Jiang Beiran didn't want Wu Qingce. After all, everyone has a specialization in their profession. Where can there be so many all-rounders in the world? It would be great if they could specialize in one.
This lesson was taught directly until the sun rose in the morning. Wu Qingce, who was squatting in the corner, was already fast asleep. Jiang Beiran cooked Luo Wenzhou a bowl of porridge and said, "I will give you three more days to kill the other three major families in Jiyuan Town."
Feel the bottom of it too.”
"Yes." Luo Wenzhou, who was still in high spirits after studying alchemy all night, agreed.
After Luo Wenzhou left, Jiang Beiran filled out another bowl of porridge and walked into the tent.
He put the porridge bowl under Wu Qingce's nose and shook it, and saw Wu Qingce's eyes suddenly opened!
Looking at the face of the senior brother in front of him, Wu Qingce quickly explained: "Senior brother... I didn't want to sleep at first, but..."
"No need to explain, just drink quickly."
"Thank you, senior brother!" Wu Qingce took the bowl and spoon and started eating happily.
"How do you think about the question I asked you to think about before?"
Wu Qingce, who was taking a big gulp of porridge, immediately put down his bowl and said, "I thought of it."
"Oh?" Seeing that Wu Qingce's reaction was not stunned this time, Jiang Beiran felt a little relieved, nodded and asked, "Tell me about it."
Taking a deep breath, Wu Qingce replied: "The last time senior brother went out for the sect, he went to Hiyue Sect. In the end, it was precisely because senior brother went to Hiyue Sect that he calmed down a war that could have swept the entire Fengzhou.
catastrophe."
Speaking of this, Wu Qingce raised his head and glanced at Jiang Beiran before continuing: "So... I think senior brother came out this time for the same dangerous matter."
Wu Qingce lowered his head and finished speaking but did not wait for any feedback from Jiang Beiran, so he looked up cautiously, only to find that a tear fell from the corner of his senior brother's eye.
"Senior...Senior Brother!? What's wrong with you!? Did I say something wrong? Please tell me and I will definitely change it. I will definitely..."
Just when Wu Qingce was in panic, Jiang Beiran suddenly raised his hand and said to him: "No, you said it very well. Senior brother, I am very pleased. Go and clean up, and prepare to go to Jiyuan Town with me."
After hearing what his senior brother said, Wu Qingce, who didn't know whether to be happy or sad, raised his hands and said, "Yes."
Watching Wu Qingce leave, Jiang Beiran raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Although the tears did contain some relief that Wu Qingce had finally recovered, they were mostly for himself.
Even Wu Qingce could figure this out, so Lu Yinlong would only have to investigate his five years in the Guixin Sect, and sooner or later he would notice this, and he might even have thought of something.
Although I can still have some leisure time if nothing happens now, if something important happens to the sect in the future, it will probably be very difficult for me to evade it.
However, Jiang Beiran can accept this upcoming future calmly.
First of all, the wool of the Guixin Sect has become increasingly difficult to harvest, and even the wool at the foot of the mountain has become less and less. This makes Jiang Beiran, who has not obtained attribute points in vain several times, very unhappy.
After all, if he can't spend his attribute points for free, how can he realize his dream of being invincible?
Secondly, he has triggered quite a lot of earth-level options recently, but it has never happened again like Lin Yuyan did when he jumped out of the lowest difficulty level yellow options.
In other words, he can basically control the prefecture-level salted fish options. As long as he maintains this caution in the future, even if he encounters more than a dozen prefecture-level tasks in the future, he will definitely be able to handle them calmly.
‘Gan! Why should I set up such a fg, bah bah bah!’
In short, this heaven-level option is a very good test for him. If he can handle this heaven-level salted fish option perfectly, then even if he is targeted by a lot of big guys in the future, he will still be able to join the group.
If you fight one against five, you can retreat with twenty shots of spring water. In short, you can stand out with ease.
‘Gan! So why do I want to stand up, bah bah bah!’
Throwing out all the falsities in his mind, Jiang Beiran walked out of the camp and took Wu Qingce down the mountain to Jiyuan Town.
Jiyuan Town is indeed the most connected town in Sipan County. As soon as I entered the small town Jiangbei, I found that it was very lively. There were teahouses, taverns, pawn shops, and workshops on both sides of the street. Not only that, there were many open spaces on both sides of the street.
Small vendor with big umbrella.
Walking further inside, with the tall tower as the center, there are rows of houses on both sides, including foot shops, butcher shops, public houses, etc.
However, Jiang Beiran was not shopping this time. As he walked on the road, he listened carefully to every word spoken by the guests in the wine shop or teahouse.
"Hey, have you noticed that the young men of the Ye family rarely come out to have fun recently?"
"Who says it's not the case, but it's such a big scandal at home, and I don't have the nerve to come out to pay it back."
"Hahaha, if you tell those dandies to be arrogant again, you have to clamp your tail and behave like a human being."
"Shh, please keep your voice down. Even though the engagement has been broken off, it's still very easy to deal with us."
"That's right, come on, come on, have a drink, and have a drink for this happy thing!"
…
Jiang Beiran heard a lot of similar conversations on the road, and he was certain that the reputation of the Ye family in Jiyuan Town was not very good.
'Hmm... there are several prodigal brothers and a unruly and willful sister. This is the protagonist.'
After gathering some information, Jiang Beiran took Wu Qingce to a forest outside the town. According to the information provided by Luo Wenzhou, this was where the Ye family usually trained their disciples.
Putting on Minran, Jiang Beiran and Wu Qingce jumped onto the tall sycamore tree and waited patiently.
When time came to the future, a group of young disciples came to the woods just as Luo Wenzhou said.
Although Jiang Beiran had never seen Ye Fan before, and didn't even have a portrait, he just glanced at all the young disciples in the team and was sure that the disciple walking at the back was definitely Ye Fan.
There is one part cynical, two parts rebellious, and three parts careless in his eyes. Don't bully young people who are poor!
This young man stood so out of place in the team, with the expression on his face that everyone owed him eight million, he couldn't be the protagonist anymore.
'But why is there no ring on my finger... This is not scientific, no, this is not metaphysical.'
After staring at the young man's hand for a long time, Jiang Beiran didn't find any quaint and special rings, which made him very confused.
'Is it worn around the neck?'
While Jiang Beiran was observing the person he identified as Ye Fan, the teenagers under the tree began to practice.
Their training content is very simple, just like the new disciples of Guixin Sect, they just meditate and practice Qi.
Jiang Beiran used his mental power to observe Ye Fan and found that his cultivation was still only at the third level of Qi training. In other words, after obtaining the annulment buff, his cultivation did not explode like a rocket.
'This is not the protagonist.'
But just when Jiang Beiran was wondering, he was surprised to find that Ye Fan frowned and raised his head and looked around, looking very uncomfortable.
'Did he feel that I was checking him with my mental power? Is it a coincidence? Or does the protagonist really have any special abilities?'
However, Ye Fan just explored the surroundings a little, and soon closed his eyes again and started practicing Qi.
'Very good, a bit like a son of a plane.'
PS: Let’s talk about the update issue. Because there will be a lot of development later, I am carefully preparing the detailed outline this week, otherwise it will be easy to collapse.
The detailed outline is almost completed now, and I will write all the additional updates in one go.
