The sky gradually lit up, and the Bixiao Club finally came to an end.
However, what is different from the past is that after sending all the Xuan Kings off the island this time, many Xuan Lords, including Xuan Sheng, stayed on Jinding Island.
There is no other reason.
What a shame!
Even Shi Ling has worked out a way to allow Emperor Xuan to enter Jinding Island, but they have made no progress.
What could be more embarrassing than this?
Shi Hongyun also stayed, and beside him stood Jiang Beiran and a middle-aged man wearing a brocade crane cloak.
"It turned out to be the Eight-Yang Shigen Formation set up like this... It's interesting, it's really interesting." The middle-aged man looked at the mountain "puzzle" spread out by Jiang Beiran, his eyes full of interest.
This middle-aged man is a friend that Shi Hongyun found, and he is also a famous ninth-level formation mage on Xuanlong Continent, Situ Zhi.
No matter which Xuan Art it is, after reaching the ninth-level realm, not to mention being on an equal footing with Xuan Sheng, at least Xuan Sheng will still give him enough face on the surface. After all, the ninth-level Xuan Art master is already the top in the mainland and can do most of them.
Turn decay into something magical.
This Situ Zhi did not become a guest of any sect, but found a quiet place to study with great concentration.
He was rarely seen on weekdays, but this time he heard from Shi Hongyun that something had been discovered about Jinding Island's formation, so he set out as quickly as possible.
As a top formation master, Situ Zhi has certainly been to Jinding Island.
But after just one month of observation, he found that the formation protecting Jinding Island was far beyond his imagination, and even made him have the same doubts as Jiang Beiran before.
'Is it really the formation that is protecting this Jinding Island?'
While Situ Zhi's eyes were shining when he looked at "Jigsaw", Jiang Beiran was thinking about how to deal with the problem.
Now that Jinding Island has become his and Xiaoqi's back garden, Jiang Beiran naturally doesn't want anyone to really crack the Jinding Island formation, otherwise what will they do?
So after hearing that Shi Hongyun had found a ninth-level formation master, Jiang Beiran thought about how to draw him a cake that he couldn't eat no matter how hard he tried.
What kind of lie is the scariest?
Of course it is nine percent true and one percent false.
Jiang Beiran did not hide anything about his discovery of the Eight Yang Shigen Formation, but told the ninth-grade formation master all about his findings.
There are two purposes.
Jiang Beiran realized that Shi Hongyun had brought Situ Zhi here to win him over, so he had to help win him over, at least on the surface, it had to be done well, and he had to make people feel "at home".
Secondly, the Eight Yang Shigen Formation is an internal formation on Jinding Island and has nothing to do with the outside world. Jiang Beiran has already confirmed this.
As for the formation that protects the outside of Jinding Island, Jiang Beiran didn't even bother to study it. He could already use the back door anyway, so why bother with it?
…
"The ancient theory is that escaping means hiding, which is the way of seclusion. Jia means rituals, which are called Liujia and Liuyi. They are in the straight talisman, and they are the ghosts and gods in the sky. If you use this theory, Jiang Xiaoyou's recognition just now may not be true.
inappropriate."
Arching his hands towards Situ Zhi, Jiang Beiran replied: "Jiwen is often hidden under the Six Fives, which is the reason for using the secrets of heaven and communicating with the gods. That's why the younger generation said that the head of the Six Hiddens is Jing."
After listening to this, Situ Zhi pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "My little friend, you are indeed very insightful. You should be enlightened!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
After chatting for a whole afternoon, Jiang Beiran and Situ Zhi had already advanced from discussing Jinding Island to discussing Tao.
Situ Zhi was the first ninth-grade formation master that Jiang Beiran knew. Naturally, he wanted to get more information from him to understand what kind of abilities the ninth-grade master had.
And Situ Zhi was also very interested in Jiang Beiran, the somewhat young formation master. He did not regard him as a junior at all, and his words were full of reciprocity.
The atmosphere of this conversation was naturally very good, and both of them gained a lot from it.
Jiang Beiran finally had a clearer idea of the level of ninth grade. Compared with Lu Yangyu who had not yet reached eighth grade in Linglongfang, Situ Zhi could be said to be on the same level as him.
As for the specific strengths, the first point is that Situ Zhi has no sign of partiality in formations. Whether it is a monitoring formation or a defensive formation, as long as it is a formation, he can express his understanding.
Moreover, the perspective of understanding is very exciting, which makes Jiang Beiran very rewarding.
The second is that Situ Zhi has his own unique perspective on formations. He believes that formations do not only rely on the power of heaven and earth. Human beings are the spirits of all things. In fact, there are many things that can be discovered in the body. If the human body is thoroughly understood,
, in fact, it is also a good "material" for formation.
‘Refining the human body? Are you an alchemist?’
When Jiang Beiran heard Situ Zhi's argument, his first reaction was to complain in his heart, but then he felt that what Situ Zhi said was very reasonable.
The design of the human body is very exquisite, and the body of a cultivator is even more powerful. Moreover, the stronger the cultivator, the more delicate and complex the body structure is. If it can be studied and understood clearly, the importance of formations in many mysterious arts may be even greater.
Floors.
The reason why Situ Zhi said so much to Jiang Beiran was naturally because Jiang Beiran gave him a lot of inspiration.
After all, in terms of comprehensiveness, Jiang Beiran's knowledge base on formations is definitely not inferior to Situ Zhi's, and he can even find some theories that Situ Zhi has never heard of.
Furthermore, Jiang Beiran was a man of many talents, and he had already formed his own group in many major formations. The views he expressed made even Situ Zhi find them eye-opening and interesting.
"Sir, your achievements in the theory of Nine Palaces have impressed me. I would like to propose a toast to you." Jiang Beiran picked up the wine glass, saluted Situ Zhi, and then drank it down in one gulp.
After chatting all afternoon, Jiang Beiran was sure of one thing, that is, in theory, he was evenly matched with the ninth-grade formation mage, but when it came to actually setting up the formation, he would probably fall far behind.
After all, he lacked high-end operations such as super-large formations, miniature formations, and connecting formations. But since Situ Zhi can reach the ninth level, it means that he is definitely not far behind in these high-end skills.
'Damn... I never thought that one day I would become the king of strong words.'
"My little friend's understanding of Liu Kui Yi Note is also amazing. I am very inspired." After speaking, Situ Zhi looked at Shi Hongyun and said, "I don't know where Tianjun found such an incredible person."
He is a gifted person with a really unique eye."
"Hahaha." Shi Hongyun felt very good after hearing this and said with a smile: "This kid is not hiding very deep. I dug three feet in the ground to find him. How about it? Do you still see him?"
"I don't dare to take it seriously. Little friend Jiang's attainments in formations are not inferior to mine, and we had a great time chatting today."
"Just have fun, just have fun..."
At this time, Jiang Beiran suddenly raised his wine glass and said, "Master, you have enjoyed yourself to the fullest, but this junior has not yet enjoyed himself to the fullest."
Situ Zhi was stunned for a moment, but before he could ask, Jiang Beiran continued: "Junior, I still have many questions that I would like to ask Master for advice. This afternoon alone is not enough."
"Hahaha." Situ Zhi laughed after hearing this.
Situ Zhi had heard countless flattering words in his life. Jiang Beiran's compliment was not brilliant, but he was better because of his own ability.
Therefore, compared to the flattery of the inferiors, it was Jiang Beiran's flattery that made Situ Zhi feel flattered in a real sense.
Seeing Situ Zhi smiling happily, Jiang Beiran took advantage of the heat and said, "Junior now lives in Shi Mansion. If Master Situ is free on weekdays, please come and give me more advice. I will definitely prepare good wine and food to welcome you."
Shi Hongyun on the side couldn't help but glance at Jiang Beiran after hearing this, wanting to praise this cute little guy on the spot.
Situ Zhi, who had just been praised, was also happy. He held up the wine glass and said, "Okay, I usually find it quite boring to study formations alone. It would be a pleasure to have a little friend to keep me company, so let's talk about it."
Well, we can’t miss out on the good wine and food.”
"Hahaha, that's natural, then I'll toast you first." Jiang Beiran said, holding the wine glass in both hands.
At this moment, Jiang Beiran didn't need to look to know that Shi Hongyun must be happy.
After all, even though he is a Xuan Sage, the Linglongfang in the mansion only has an eighth-grade jade master in charge, which is definitely a bit inferior compared to those major sects that have ninth-grade Xuan Art masters in charge.
The reason why Jiang Beiran was so active in helping Shi Hongyun win over Situ Zhi this time was that he was worried that Shi Hongyun would take advantage of him, and secondly, if he could make Shi Hongyun owe him a favor in turn, he would be in the Shi family.
Your life will be more comfortable.
This is a ninth-level formation mage, so he is very kind.
Of course, Situ Zhi has only agreed to be a guest so far, and is still far from becoming a guest of the Shi family, but this is already a good start.
As for cracking Jinding Island?
When Jiang Beiran was not working hard, Situ Zhi saw that Jinding Island was no different from before. At most, he only knew the formation inside it, but this did not affect his ability to understand the layer outside.
Big array.
So after three days of drinking and talking outside Jinding Island, Jiang Beiran followed Shi Hongyun back to Shi's Mansion, while Situ Zhi returned to his own place of cultivation after leaving a message that he would definitely come to visit him one day.
"Meet the clan saint."
"Meet the ancestors."
"Meet the Clan Saint!"
…
In the inner city of Shi Mansion, Shi Hongyun and Jiang Beiran were walking on the street. The Shi family members on both sides of the road were shocked when they saw Shi Hongyun, and then they all bowed and saluted.
At the same time, he secretly cast a surprised look at Jiang Beiran.
Being able to walk side by side with the clan saints is simply a supreme honor in their eyes. Usually only the big shots in the clan are treated like this.
Of course Jiang Beiran also knew this. He actually didn't want to be side by side with Shi Hongyun, but Shi Hongyun's intention was to help him build momentum so that the "ghosts, ghosts and snake gods" in the clan would be more careful when approaching him.
Jiang Beiran couldn't refute Xuan Sheng's kindness, so he had to accept it silently.
"Bei Ran, do you really don't want to stay on Jinding Island for a while?"
Before leaving Jinding Island, Shi Hongyun said that he could give Jiang Beiran a place to study Jinding Island up close.
This is what most array masters dream of.
But Jiang Beiran doesn't need to study it at all, and even hopes to keep it as it is.
After all, it would be useless no matter how many new loopholes other aliens discovered. He entered Jinding Island as a "BUG", so what about those alien cheats? They would still be crushed by him.
So Jiang Beiran declined Shi Hongyun's kindness directly on the grounds that he wanted to continue to shine in the Shi family.
Now hearing Shi Hongyun mention it again, Jiang Beiran replied: "The formation formation junior is actually only good at theory. Close observation is actually no different from studying the topographic map of Jinding Island at home. In addition, there are many juniors in Linglongfang.
There are few things to deal with, so this junior made such a decision."
Hearing Jiang Beiran's sincerity in wanting to do more for the Shi family, Shi Hongyun nodded with satisfaction.
"In that case, just do it as you wish." After speaking, Shi Hongyun paused for a moment and asked, "Bei Ran, do you have a plan for the next step?"
'very good.'
Seeing that the system did not pop up any prompts, Jiang Beiran knew that his previous guess was correct, and Shi Hongyun had no intention of testing him further.
Now the two sides have a cooperative relationship, which is mutually beneficial.
"As for the Hui Clan Saint, this junior plans to recruit more talents for Linglongfang, so that Linglongfang can bloom more."
Jiang Beiran said this very tactfully, and the meaning is very simple. Even if I am not in the house in the future, I will go out to help your family find talents, and I will definitely devote myself to it.
"Hahaha, okay, you can always put your words in my heart. It's so cute. Don't worry, as long as you sincerely work for my Shi family, I will never treat you badly. Next year, Bi
I, Xiaohui, hope you can shine like this again."
"Please rest assured, Clan Saint."
"Don't worry, I am really at ease with you now." After speaking, Shi Hongyun reached out and patted Jiang Beiran on the shoulder: "Go and do what you should do."
After saying that, Shi Hongyun disappeared from the spot.
Seeing Shi Hongyun leaving, Jiang Beiran also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been spending time with this Xuansheng day and night in the past few days, and the pressure was also extremely high.
With a long sigh of relief, Jiang Beiran left the inner city and walked towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers amid the surprised and envious looks of the Shi family members around him.
Now that he is finally free, he has a lot to do.
"Xiao Beiran!"
As soon as he returned to the entrance of Wanhua Valley, Jiang Beiran heard Shi Fenglan's shout. He looked up and saw her standing on the hillside waving to him.
Jumping down the hillside, Shi Fenglan ran to Jiang Beiran and looked around, "Xiao Beiran, why did you just come back? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"I've been staying on Jinding Island for a few days with the clan saint. Is there anything going on?"
"Yes!" Shi Fenglan nodded vigorously, "Many people have come to see you in the past two days!"
"more specific."
"Let me think about it." Shi Fenglan said, clasping her fingers, "Uncle, third brother, second uncle..."
After he almost knew who had come to see him, Jiang Beiran replied "I understand" and then walked towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
"Xiao Beiran, Xiao Beiran, I'm hungry!" Shi Fenglan shouted after catching up with Jiang Beiran.
"I'll make you something to eat later. I have other things to do."
"Okay~"
Just when Shi Fenglan was disappointed, another burst of joyful shouts came from not far away.
