Tigers can be regarded as the smartest animals among cats, so after Jiang Beiran had a friendly communication with it for about 10 minutes, the eye-catching white-fronted tiger with its head covered with buns took Jiang Beiran to
Under a tallow tree.
"Ouch." The eye-catching white-fronted tiger stretched out its paw and pointed at a location that was obviously filled with landfills.
"Yeah~ You're doing well." Jiang Beiran reached out and touched the big head of the eye-catching white-fronted tiger.
"Woo..." The dazzling white-fronted tiger let out a cry of enjoyment, and rubbed its big head hard against Jiang Beiran's arm.
"Be good, be good, go over there."
Pushing the eye-catching white-fronted tiger away, Jiang Beiran walked to the landfill and squatted down. At the same time, a bright bar option popped up in front of his eyes.
[Option 1: Direct excavation. Completion reward: Qinglong Water (Yellow Level Top Grade)]
[Option 2: Be fully prepared before digging. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
"Oh haha!"
Jiang Beiran really didn't expect that there would be a trap worthy of jumping out of the system waiting for him in this pit. After all, the opponent was only a second-level Qi practitioner.
'Sure enough, you can't underestimate any cultivator. Who knows what weird big treasure he will suddenly pull out and smash it in your face.'
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran took out a piece of extremely anti-toxic "Wufen Sha" from the Qiankun Ring and put it on his face. Then he took out a bottle of "Blue Python Juice" and poured a little bit of it into the soil.
After waiting for about five minutes, Jiang Beiran, who put on his "silk gloves", was about to dig up some soil when he saw a black and gold centipede as thick as a finger come out as if it was running for its life.
‘Black Meteor Centipede!?’
Although Jiang Beiran didn't expect to see this thing here, his movements were not slow at all, and he took the one-foot-long black centipede into the gourd in a matter of seconds.
"Okay, I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain." Jiang Beiran shook the gourd and laughed.
As far as Jiang Beiran knew, the Black Meteor Centipede was Shura Zhai's iconic poison, but it was generally only owned by high-ranking officials.
This centipede is extremely poisonous. If accidentally bitten by it, cultivators below Xuan Ling will die on the spot, or at least later. Practitioners above Xuan Ling will not feel comfortable being bitten.
'How could a mere human trafficker use such a rare thing to protect his treasure? It seems that what he said that day about the proceeds from tomb robbing was indeed a lie.'
Taking the gourd back into the Qiankun Ring, Jiang Beiran began to dig deeper after confirming that there was only one black meteor centipede, and soon touched a hard object.
‘Yes.’
The corners of Jiang Beiran's mouth curled up slightly, and he completely peeled off the soil covering it, and took out an orange-red box from inside.
[Optional task completed, reward: chess skill +1]
Seeing the system prompts, Jiang Beiran knew that the alarm had been lifted.
After patting off the dirt on the box, Jiang Beiran looked at the copper lock on it and felt dumbfounded.
'mdzz... Being able to get this box means that you are not even afraid of the black meteor centipede, but can still be stumped by your little copper lock?'
Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran casually took out a piece of iron wire and inserted it into the keyhole. He fiddled with it for a while, and then heard a "click" sound and the lock opened.
After taking off the lock, Jiang Beiran slowly opened the box.
'Damn... is this how you can make money by working as a peripheral for the Demon Sect now!?'
Looking at the three low-grade golden spirit stones and a formation book in the box, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but burst into tears in his heart.
He thought that the low-grade golden spirit stone he confiscated last time was the young leader's entire property, but unexpectedly it was only a quarter.
'No wonder more and more young people are now willing to join the Demon Cult. It's so profitable.'
Jiang Beiran sighed as he put the three low-grade golden spirit stones into the Qiankun ring, then picked up the formation book with "Water Heart Organ Pavilion" written on the cover, opened it and took a look, and this look made Jiang Beiran
Interested.
'Well...the Sixteen Earthly Branches are the formations in the One Thousand and Eighty Rounds. The writing is very complicated, so I have to go back and deduce it with a living table.'
When he turned the book to the middle, Jiang Beiran already knew that his trip was worthwhile and he could learn something new.
'It seems that this formation and the black meteor centipede should have been given to him by Shura Zhai, but just an outer disciple can have so many good things? Is Shura Zhai so rich?'
For a time, Jiang Beiran had many thoughts, such as that the young leader was the illegitimate son of a high-level executive, or that he might have stolen these things from Shura Zhai.
'But it has nothing to do with me.'
Putting an end to these unfounded speculations, Jiang Beiran stuffed the "Water Heart Machine Pavilion" into the Qiankun Ring, then stood up and looked at the eye-catching white-fronted tiger who had been sitting obediently next to him and said with a smile: "Do you think I should kill you to silence you?
?”
After hearing this, the eye-catching white-fronted tiger's hair suddenly exploded again, and he quickly prostrated himself on the ground, his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Aww...aoww...aoww..."
Regardless of whether Jiang Beiran understood it or not, the eye-catching white-fronted tiger kept saying that he was just an ordinary little tiger and would not pose any threat to you.
"Woooo..."
After another pitiful roar, the eye-catching white-fronted tiger carefully raised his eyes and found that Jiang Beiran, who was standing in front of him, had disappeared without knowing when...
The next morning, Jiang Beiran got up early, made himself a bowl of lotus seed soup for breakfast, and then went out feeling refreshed.
Yesterday, he practiced the formations in "Water Heart Machine Pavilion" all night, and realized a lot of ways to escape armor, making the ability of formations more and more powerful.
After turning a few familiar roads, Jiang Beiran arrived at Lanxinxuan.
Because it was still early, there were no disciples playing chess here.
Walking all the way to the innermost room, Jiang Beiran raised his hands towards a door and shouted: "Cheng Litang, the students are back."
As soon as Jiang Beiran finished speaking, the door opened with a bang, and at the same time a hand stretched out from inside and grabbed Jiang Beiran in.
"Come on, come on, sit down quickly. I haven't played against you in two days, and my hands are itchy."
An old man with white hair and a long beard pushed Jiang Beiran on the opposite side of the chess table as he spoke.
Jiang Beiran didn't want to ruin the mood of the auditorium, so he nodded and said: "Then the egoistic sunspot will go first, and I ask the auditorium to be merciful."
"No, no, I'm holding the black piece in this game." Cheng Litang knocked away Jiang Beiran's hand that was reaching for the black piece chess piece, and took the chess piece to his side.
Jiang Beiran looked at it for a moment, and as the saying goes, "Holding the black stone as a sign of respect," he took the initiative to move the black stone first. What he meant was, "My chess skills are lower than yours in the auditorium, so I should play the black stone first."
But I didn't expect that the auditorium completely ignored these common etiquette today and just snatched the black man.
"It seems that there is a new understanding in the auditorium."
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly, took the white chess piece and put it in his hand, then looked at the chessboard with concentration, waiting for Cheng Litang to place the first piece.
ps: I originally planned to update it twice...but this chapter took me four hours. (Okay, okay, I'm short, I'm short.)
