With a "thud" sound, Ji Qinglin smashed a wine jar on the table.
"I can't bear to drink, Master Ji, why don't we drink tea instead?"
"What's the point of drinking tea? This is the best Jin Bo Chun. I wouldn't be willing to take it out for ordinary people to drink." Ji Qinglin said as he opened the lid. In an instant, an intoxicating aroma of wine immediately filled the whole place.
Big account.
"Smell it, can you bear the aroma of this wine?" Ji Qinglin said as he took out a porcelain bowl and immediately handed it to Jiang Beiran. At the same time, two options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.
But Jiang Beiran thought about running away later, and he really had no intention of drinking at the moment, so he waved his hand and said: "Master Ji, I really can't drink."
"I've filled the bottle for you. If you don't drink, you're not giving me face."
As soon as Ji Qinglin finished speaking, two options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.
[Option 1: Take the porcelain bowl and drink it all in one gulp. Completion reward: Black Gold Demon Book (top grade Xuan level)]
[Option 2: "You insist on letting me drink it, but you just won't give me face." Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'Um?'
Looking at option one, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but frown.
'What's going on? Is there poison in the wine?'
However, Jiang Beiran immediately rejected this idea. After all, from Ji Qinglin's perspective, why would it be so troublesome to kill him, and why would he need to rely on poisoned wine?
Jiang Beiran, who couldn't think of a reason for a while, chose the second choice and said: "You insist on letting me drink it, but you won't give me face."
[Optional mission completed, reward: Spirit +1]
"Huh?" Ji Qinglin squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Beiran for a while, then smiled and said: "Sure enough, I am confident. There are no more than three...four people in Shengguo who dare to speak to me like this."
'Is it so specific...'
After complaining in his heart, Jiang Beiran responded: "I am indeed not good at drinking, so please forgive me, Master Ji."
"Okay, okay, then I'll just assume that you're not good at drinking." Ji Qinglin said, putting the wine jar back on the table, sitting across from Jiang Beiran and saying, "Since you don't need wine to cheer you up, let's just have a chat.
what are you thinking."
"I wonder what Master Ji is referring to?"
"Nature is the future of Shengguo."
'Did you raise the topic to such a high level right from the start?'
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran replied: "The first step is naturally to gather the effective forces of Sheng Kingdom."
"Then what?"
"Make friends from far away and attack close by, and make plans slowly."
"Ha!" Ji Qinglin slammed the table, "I didn't expect you to be as conservative as my master, but have you ever thought about how we, Shengguo, use it to communicate with others?"
"Then I wonder where Leader Ji thinks the way out for Shengguo?"
"Get into the mystery!"
"..."
Seeing Ji Qinglin say these three words seriously, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood the difference between him and Yin Jianghong.
On the territory of Xuanlong Continent, there are various places full of strange phenomena.
For example, the Anbei Plain where the gravity is much higher than other areas, the Throne Mountain which is half fire and half frost, the Ghost Crow Forest where poisonous insects are bigger than humans...
But when it comes to the most famous and terrifying place of visions, it has to be Xuanji Island.
Xuanji Island is located in the southernmost part of Xuanlong Continent. It was originally named Black Mist Island because it is shrouded in black fog all year round, hence the name.
At the beginning, because the situation inside the black mist was completely invisible from the outside, the fear of the unknown blocked many strong people from exploring.
But no matter which world we are in, there will always be warriors.
The year after Black Mist Island was discovered, a powerful man of the Xuanwang realm broke in, but he never came out again, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.
Since then, Black Mist Island has been shrouded in a mysterious veil, which has deterred countless people.
However, just as no world is short of warriors, no world is short of fools.
Although the disappearance of the Xuan King made most cultivators feel fear, it also gave a small number of cultivators a sense of opportunity.
Most of them have a very challenging (zuo) spirit and after analyzing a lot of what is there and what is not, they entered the Black Mist Island in batches.
One year, two years, three years.
Ten people, hundreds, thousands.
When more and more powerful people entered Black Mist Island one after another, but no one came back alive, these stupid young people finally knew how to write the word "fear".
This Black Mist Island is like a machine that harvests human lives. Even if you are as strong as Xuanzong, you will not be able to come back alive from it.
But just when everyone was about to list Black Mist Island as a taboo place, a man named Duan Yuan suddenly walked out of the black mist.
This made the "die-hards" who were guarding outside Black Mist Island overjoyed, and they were glad that their perseverance for so many years was not in vain.
And when they welcomed Duan Yuan, something even more surprising happened to them.
Duan Yuan actually broke through to the Xuanzun realm in one fell swoop! And he was already at the fifth level of Xuanzun! You must know that after Xuanzun, every level of promotion is very difficult. The fifth level Xuanzun was definitely considered a powerful person in the world at that time.
What is even more amazing is that before Duan Yuan entered the Black Mist Island two years ago, he was just a Xuan King. In just two years, he broke through from Xuan King to the fifth level of Xuan Zun. This is a promotion that no one can imagine.
speed.
But when people asked Duan Yuan what he experienced in Black Mist Island, Duan Yuan replied...
"I don't remember anything."
That's right, although Yuan's cultivation became extremely powerful when he came out, his memory still stayed at the time when he first entered Black Mist Island. The memory of the next two years in Black Mist Island seemed to have been completely wiped out, even after a while.
Not a single bit of picture or sound has been left behind.
But no matter what, Duan Yuan's improvement in cultivation level is real, which also allowed those practitioners who were originally ready to give up to regain their confidence and step into the Black Mist Island again.
After that, five more people returned from Black Mist Island one after another. The most powerful one among them was already at the peak of Xuanzun, and was only one step away from advancing to the Xuansheng realm.
Xuansheng is already the most powerful person on this continent, under the legendary Emperor Xuan.
But similarly, these five people have absolutely no memory of being in Black Mist Island. No matter whether they stayed for five years or ten years, they have no memories whatsoever.
In the end, these six people who came out of Black Mist Island all became strong men, but none of these six people prohibited other practitioners from entering Black Mist Island, and even strictly prohibited some sects with ulterior motives from encircling Black Mist Island.
own chassis.
The harsh words were used to say that anyone who dared to treat Kurokiri Island as his own was an enemy of the six of them.
This makes all practitioners feel very strange. Logically speaking, if a person digs a gold mine somewhere, he will definitely try his best to hide this place as his own, but these six people not only
He didn't do this, and even encouraged others to dig together.
This is simply unbelievable.
Such an abnormal behavior naturally aroused everyone's imagination, and some people thought that only those with such a big heart could be recognized by Kurogiri Island and come out of it.
Some people think that these six people hope to find more companions. Maybe one day, one person will come back with all the memories of Black Mist Island and tell them what is inside.
There is also a small group of people who believe that these six people have actually been brainwashed by the people in Black Mist Island, and they came back to let more people die in Black Mist Island.
…
It's just that rumors are rumors after all. Most people only see substantial benefits. King Xuan goes in and Master Xuan comes out at the peak. Where else can such good things be found?
The existence of these six people seemed to be announced loudly to the whole world.
"Do you want the same power as us? If you want it, I'll give it to you. Go find it! Everything in the world is placed there!"
Suddenly, the era of great black fog begins. From Xuan Master to Xuan Zun, those who want to "get rich overnight", those who want to explore the truth, and those who want to continue to improve themselves...
With various purposes in mind, countless practitioners entered Black Mist Island without looking back.
It was also from that time that the name of Kurogiri Island became Xuanji Island, which means an island looking for opportunities.
But it was ten years later!
But no one came out of Black Mist Island again.
You must know that hundreds of thousands of cultivators have entered Black Mist Island in the past ten years. This number can be said to be quite astonishing.
But among so many people, no one has ever returned from Xuanji Island. This has made countless cultivators with dreams and luck finally wake up.
When I looked up again, I saw that the Xuanji Island in front of me was no longer a holy land full of opportunities, but a terrifying monster with its bloody mouth open, as if it was going to devour all the cultivators in the Xuanlong Continent.
From now on, there will still be some stubborn cultivators who choose to enter Xuanji Island every year, but the number is not as good as before. From then on, Xuanji Island has become a forbidden place full of legends in the eyes of most people.
Because there was so much fuss back then, not to mention the cultivators, even many ordinary people knew about it, and some desperadoes even chose to go to Xuanji Island to take a chance when they were desperate.
Of course, in the end, none of them came out alive.
Jiang Beiran had naturally heard of Xuanji Island when he first joined the sect, but these days, most people only regard Xuanji Island as a famous place.
Just like everyone knows about Mount Everest, but few people who know it have ever thought about climbing it or conquering it.
'It's true... the master is actually by my side. No, it should be said that the master is by my side.'
Jiang Beiran never expected that Ji Qinglin would have the idea of going to Xuanji Island. No matter how he thought about it, it was all for nothing.
Seeing Jiang Beiran stunned, Ji Qinglin asked seriously: "I know you think this idea is crazy and unrealistic, but I think you are the real unrealistic."
"I know your idea is to attach yourself to a powerful country, and then slowly accumulate your own strength to eventually replace it, but are they so stupid? Silly waiting to be replaced by us? If they are so stupid, they cannot become a hegemony.
One of the most powerful countries in the world."
This is simply unbelievable.
