In the hut, as a black stone fell from Jiang Beiran's hand, Mo Xia's expression completely froze, and the white stone that had already thought about how to play was still unable to fall.
Looking at Mo Xia's slightly trembling left hand and his clenched fist, Jiang Beiran said: "I want to rely on the fire caused by the corner to spread to the whole area, provoking a full-scale melee with my sunspots. It's a very good idea, but
...If I don't want to fight, then there won't be any sparks."
Mo Xia, who understood what his senior brother meant, sighed, lowered his head and said, "I give up..."
Smiling slightly, Jiang Beiran sat up straight and asked, "Do you know why your layout failed to succeed?"
"Because...because senior brother has seen through me a long time ago." Mo Xia lowered his head and replied.
"No, it's because you want to take advantage of my underestimation and lay a trap for me, but you don't know... I have never underestimated you."
Hearing what his senior brother said, Mo Xia slowly raised his head and slowly released his clenched fists.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Mo Xia bowed deeply and then began to clear the chessboard.
"Have you practiced well recently?" Jiang Beiran asked casually.
After hearing this, Mo Xia replied with a serious face: "Reporting to senior brother, I will spend five hours every day to practice."
"Are there any bottlenecks?"
Mo Xia shook his head and replied: "My cultivation level is still very low, and I can't say I have encountered a bottleneck."
"There is no need to belittle yourself. No one has ever said that people with low cultivation will not encounter bottlenecks. If you do encounter difficulties, don't hide them in your heart for fear of embarrassment."
"Yes! I will obey my senior brother's wishes."
While talking, Mo Xia had already cleaned the chessboard and eagerly picked up a white piece.
"Let's make a move." Jiang Beiran smiled and nodded.
…
At Yinshi, Mo Xia held the Yinglong chessboard and bowed to Jiang Beiran at the door, then closed the door and prepared to go back to the house with cheerful steps.
But before he took two steps, Mo Xia felt as if he was being stared at by that terrifying sight again.
The reason why I say it again is that he has felt such gazes many times. Mo Xia also thought about telling his senior brother, but he did not want to cause trouble to his senior brother for such trivial matters. After all, the person staring at him in the dark did not do anything.
What a substantial infringement.
'Who is it...'
Mo Xia considers himself a low-key person and has never offended any of his fellow apprentices. Who is always keeping an eye on him, who has no grudges in the past and has no grudges in recent days?
In addition, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that this look was getting more and more terrifying.
Taking two steps forward, Mo Xia suddenly turned his head, but all he saw was darkness.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Xia stopped looking for the person in the dark and quickly returned to his hut as usual.
On the hillside, watching Mo Xia return to her nest like a little rabbit, Lin Yuyan couldn't help biting her lips and digging her nails deeply into the ground.
If it hadn't been confirmed several times that Mo Xia had indeed flat chest and Adam's apple, Lin Yuyan would have gone berserk.
'I really want to go in too...'
Although she had been squatting on the small slope opposite Jiangbeiran Gate for five years, Lin Yuyan never entered Jiangbeiran's house once, and could only look at it from a distance every time.
But because her senior brother had a cold attitude towards everyone, Lin Yuyan didn't think anything of it. But now, someone can enter her dream cabin every few days, and that's when her senior brother is around.
This simply made her jealous beyond recognition!
'Senior brother just wanted to find someone to play chess with, and he just happened to be picked. As long as senior brother is happy, it will be fine. If senior brother is happy, I will be happy...'
While talking, the piece of soil that Lin Yuyan dug into with her fingernails had been completely crushed into powder.
"ha……"
Lin Yuyan exhaled a breath and calmed down again, remembering her mission today.
"Senior brother...senior brother..."
In the hut, Jiang Beiran, who was preparing to pack up and go to the back mountain, heard Lin Yuyan's voice transmission.
Sighing, Jiang Beiran opened the door and responded: "What's the matter?"
"Senior brother, I found out about a place called Mei Zhaolin. It is rumored that Qingluan once lived there. I thought you might be interested, so I came to tell you."
‘Qingluan?’
Jiang Beiran raised his eyebrows, showing an interested look.
Among the strange beasts, there are five kinds of sacred birds, which are called the Five Phoenixes.
The red one is the phoenix, the yellow one is the eagle, the green one is the luan, the purple one is the eagle, and the white one is the swan.
As one of the Five Phoenixes, Qingluan naturally has extraordinary abilities.
Qingluan is also called Cangluan. According to legend, someone has seen that when Qingluan spreads its wings, it can cover the entire sky, overlooking the earth like the sky.
Although Qingluan is also classified as a strange beast, the legends accompanying it are almost always very auspicious.
It is said that the place where Qingluan lives will become a paradise of hope, everything will become full of vitality, and those who see Qingluan with their own eyes will gain happiness.
In a place where such a divine bird once lived, the probability of rare treasures appearing was quite high, so Jiang Beiran was instantly ignited with curiosity.
"Where did the news come from?"
Hearing his senior brother's response, Lin Yuyan secretly clenched his fists, knowing that he had succeeded.
Ever since the couple had a fight last time, Lin Yuyan had been thinking about how to make her husband-in-law no longer angry.
However, after much thought, I couldn't think of a perfect solution.
Because if you send something directly, senior brother will definitely not accept it. Lin Yuyan has tried this many times.
If she wanted to help her senior brother, not to mention his ability, the help she could do was very limited. Even if she really had something to offer, he would definitely not come to her.
'After all, although senior brother doesn't say it, he is still worried about me in his heart, hehe.'
It was really difficult to apologize to a senior brother who had no desires and demands, but in the end Lin Yuyan thought of the most suitable way.
Since the senior brother doesn't accept what he sent, then take a step back and provide him with clues.
The Lin family has a large intelligence network, and there is also an underground black market for selling intelligence. It is easy to find some interesting information.
Now I see that my senior brother no longer has a straight face, but shows interest.
Lin Yuyan knew that he had made the right bet.
'It's one step closer to becoming a good wife, hee hee.'
Smirking in her heart, Lin Yuyan replied: "I heard it from an elder in my family. Although not many people know about it, there are still people who have gone there to hunt for treasures. If senior brother is interested, it's better to hurry up.
Be prepared as well.”
'Okay, I understand, thank you for the message.'
"Senior brother is so polite. If there is anything you need help with, Yu Yan will do his best to help."
"I can handle this matter myself. You should go back and have a rest."
"yes."
Hearing that her senior brother had begun to care about her sleep again, Lin Yuyan walked with a sense of glee, knowing that she could continue to be a good wife.
Feeling Lin Yuyan's breath disappearing, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Among so many beautiful and beautiful places that can trigger prefecture-level choices, if Jiang Beiran were asked to choose the one who knew how to get along with him best, he would definitely choose Lin Yuyan.
Except for the uncontrollable "rage" last time, Lin Yuyan never triggered the option even though she came to him almost every day. It was as if she was holding a strategy manual for the system.
And just now, she found another "loophole" in the system.
If she directly gives herself a treasure or some kind of material, unless the value is not high, the option will definitely be triggered.
Shi Fenglan has proven this many times.
But information is completely different from sending it directly. The information only tells him that there may be treasures there. As long as he doesn't go in by himself, there is a high probability that he can avoid the way of heaven.
In terms of intelligence, Jiang Beiran is indeed lacking a lot. Although Gu Qinghuan usually helps him collect information everywhere and can make predictions from time to time, for the huge Fengzhou, Gu Qinghuan's power alone is not enough.
Too limited.
No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to master all the fresh information in Fengzhou. Much of the information in his hands is already more than ten pieces of expired information, and has long since lost its timeliness.
If he wanted to get more first-hand intelligence, it would be better to cultivate an intelligence organization composed of professionals. Jiang Beiran had once thought about setting up one.
But he found that younger brothers like Wu Qingce and Gu Qinghuan were extremely difficult to find. Many times the system would pop up the option as soon as he had the idea of accepting that person as his younger brother.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Beiran cherishes his current younger brothers very much and gives them the best in everything.
Now Lin Yuyan has opened a new channel for her. If he can use it well, he will have many more opportunities to obtain heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Looking at the direction Lin Yuyan was leaving, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"In terms of exploiting loopholes in the system, I, Jiang Beiran, am willing to call you the strongest."
…
Because he "toughly" refused to help Yin Jianghong and his sect master share the cake, although the major demon sects in Fengzhou still have people's hearts and minds, it has nothing to do with Jiang Beiran.
The rare objects and rare materials brought back by Wu Qingce soon became Jiang Beiran's new favorite.
In recent years, Jiang Beiran has almost always been in the predicament of a clever woman struggling to make a living without rice. Although she has a good craftsmanship, she always has no chance to get any good treasures.
Now, with the growth of several apprentices, he is finally able to get some good things, and many things that could only exist on scratch paper before have the opportunity to be realized.
Therefore, Jiang Beiran spent much less time with Shi Fenglan these days. Although this caused Shi Fenglan to be very dissatisfied, Jiang Beiran quickly suppressed it.
"Plop" "Plop" "Plop"
Standing in front of several wine jars, Jiang Beiran added each of the silver frost pistils into them.
These are the spiritual wines Jiang Beiran is preparing to brew.
In Xuanjie, winemaking is also a very high-end craft. Spiritual wine can be divided into five categories, namely spiritual fruit wine, spiritual rice wine, spiritual grain wine, spiritual medicinal wine and special spiritual wine.
If we talk about a panacea, we basically have to say that it is three parts of medicine and poison.
Then spiritual wine does not have this shortcoming at all. After all, the raw materials of spiritual wine are very safe and non-toxic foods such as spiritual fruits or spiritual rice. Coupled with long-term fermentation and volatilization, it can be said that there is almost no toxicity in spiritual wine.
In addition, although in terms of effect, spiritual wine is almost the same as elixir, it is also used to enhance the practitioner's physique or for recovery.
But spiritual wine also has its own unique advantages.
First of all, spiritual wine is delicious. It is better to pour a bottle of spiritual wine into your mouth than to throw a spiritual pill into your mouth and chew it.
Furthermore, when entertaining friends, bringing out a few jars of spiritual wine will surely win over the whole house more than bringing out a few magical elixirs.
Of course, these are not very important details. The real power of spiritual wine is to nourish the soul.
As the saying goes, wine strengthens people and makes them courageous. The status effect of spiritual wine is unparalleled. After drinking a pot of spiritual wine, you can be fearless even if the other party's mental power is much stronger than yours.
Just do it! That’s it.
If you drink a large amount of spiritual wine every day, it can even achieve the effect of nourishing your mind and strengthening your soul, which will give you a considerable advantage when fighting opponents who are good at spiritual attacks.
After talking about the difference in effects, making Shangling Wine also has unique advantages.
For example, you don't need a very high-quality alchemy furnace, just an ordinary wine jar can brew it.
When making wine, you don’t need to constantly introduce the spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the furnace like alchemy, and you also have to worry about absorbing more and less. You only need to find a place rich in spiritual energy, put the wine jar in, and when the spiritual wine is fermenting,
It will naturally absorb the aura from outside.
After the spiritual energy enters the wine jar, the wine will be transformed and optimized. As the wine becomes more mellow, the specific gravity and concentration of the wine will increase, the structure will become more compact, more stable, and more reasonable, and the upper limit for storing spiritual energy will also increase.
The higher you get, the more spiritual energy you store.
The last jar of spiritual wine is not so much wine as it is thick liquid spiritual energy.
Of course, after talking about the benefits, spiritual wine also has many disadvantages.
The most troublesome thing among them is that it is too! Special! So! Slow!
A jar of high-quality spiritual wine often takes decades to brew, and top-quality spiritual wine takes hundreds of years. If it were for those cultivators whose cultivation levels were not up to the mark, the brewed wine would be enough to send them away.
Although Jiang Beiran's wine-making skills are as high as alchemy, he has never drank spiritual wine. The reason is that the spiritual wine he brewed has been hidden in the cellar and is still far from being drinkable.
But as a brewmaster, it would be a shame to be completely the same as those ordinary brewers.
So Jiang Beiran has been looking for ways to shorten the brewing time. When Jiang Beiran obtained enough alchemy points and brewing points, a spark of wisdom suddenly appeared between the two.
Jiang Beiran discovered that if some medicinal materials are used in the correct dosage, they can speed up the brewing of spiritual wine without any difference in effect or taste.
It's just that this kind of medicinal materials is difficult to find, and the silver frost core that Wu Qingce brought back this time is one of them.
Because he was not very sure that his theory was correct, Jiang Beiran only used four jars of fruit spirit wine for testing.
Seeing the silver frost core slowly melting into the fruit spirit wine, Jiang Beiran took out the Blood Rainbow Immortal Root and broke off some more.
'This...should be enough.'
Putting the bright red blood rainbow fairy root into the fruit spirit wine, Jiang Beiran suddenly smelled a strong aroma of wine.
