After they met again, after Shi Fenglan had played coquettishly enough, Jiang Beiran raised his hands to Yu Manwen and said, "Dragon Protector Yu, this time when the disciple came down the mountain, he found a good seedling for cultivation, and decided to send her to your Shuijing Hall."
After hearing this, Yu Manwen looked at the dark girl standing next to Jiang Beiran.
"She?" Yu Manwen asked.
"Well, that's her." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he raised his hand and said, "Lingdang, go say hello. Whether you can join the sect or not depends entirely on someone else's words."
After hearing this, Xia Lingdang immediately took two steps forward and saluted Yu Manwen: "Hello... hello, my name is Xia Lingdang. Although I am stupid, I must study hard. Please accept me."
After looking at Xia Lingdang, Yu Manwen replied: "Okay, I will arrange for someone to test her later."
After explaining the business, Jiang Beiran took a sip of tea and continued: "When I first returned to the sect, I found that the archway and the welcoming building at the entrance were being repaired. When I entered the Shuijing Hall, I also saw that the hall master's mansion seemed to be under construction.
The sect leader is really generous this time."
After hearing this, Yu Manwen smiled and said: "Not only Shuijing Hall, the other twenty-three halls are also being repaired. It will be completed in a few months."
"What good thing happened to you?"
"I heard from the sect master that he gained a lot of benefits from being in the Liang Kingdom. In addition, there are many sect disciples from the Liang Kingdom who are ready to merge with us. The sect master also did this to show off the magnificence of our Sheng Kingdom."
"Oh~" Jiang Beiran nodded, understanding what was going on.
This was obviously the result of someone eating some fat and water during the division of the spoils, and it was very likely that the person had a mouth full of oil.
'I don't know if Liang Guo has finished dividing the spoils...'
After chatting about trivial matters at home for a while, Jiang Beiran said goodbye and left after seeing that it was getting late.
However, as soon as he stood up, he saw the system options pop up.
[Option 1: Leave Shuijingtang to do other things. Completion reward: Bone Erosion Mysterious Sutra (prefecture level top grade)]
[Option 2: Accompany Xia Lingdang to complete the test. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
'What the hell...'
Looking at this option, Jiang Beiran almost cursed.
'What are you doing? What are you doing!? None of the nannies take care of their children like this, right? This option means that I have to take her with me all the time. As for what? Can I give my children a chance to develop freely?
The space? Daddy and daughter can’t become talented!'
After complaining in his heart, Jiang Beiran chose the second choice, looked at Yu Manwen and said: "This child is afraid of strangers, I'd better accompany her to take the test."
Xia Lingdang was greatly moved upon hearing this, and stretched out her trembling hand to grab the hem of Jiang Beiran's clothes.
Yu Manwen was a little surprised. In her memory, she had never seen Jiang Beiran be so interested in someone. Well, never.
This made Yu Manwen couldn't help but look at Xia Lingdang a few more times.
"Okay, let's go there now." Yu Manwen stood up and nodded.
"Then I want to go too!" Shi Fenglan immediately raised her hands and said.
After hearing this, Yu Manwen smiled and said, "I have already called Zijin and the others over. If you follow us, you won't be able to see them."
Shi Fenglan immediately hesitated upon hearing this.
Before she came back, she had already been thinking about how to kill the boys in the simulation of cultivating immortals and leave them all alone, so when she heard that they were coming, of course she immediately became "skilled".
"Then... you should come back soon."
Seeing Shi Fenglan's compromise, Yu Manwen nodded and said, "Okay, we'll be back when we're done."
"Well, you guys have to come back early~" Shi Fenglan shouted, waving her hands.
At Shi Fenglan's instructions, the group of three people left Tinglan Waterside Pavilion and walked towards Cuirong Pavilion.
After so many years, the way Gui Xin Sect tests ordinary people has not changed at all.
It is still required to practice the Gui Xin Jue and the first style of One-Zi Sword Technique.
Then judge the level of talent based on the speed of practice.
"I...I can't read." Xia Lingdang lowered her head in embarrassment as she looked at the two books that Shuijingtang Lanqi took out.
"It doesn't matter." Yu Manwen shook his head, "That Lan Qi sister will teach you what to do, just follow and learn."
After hearing this, Lan Qi also smiled and nodded towards Xia Lingdang.
Xia Lingdang was still a little nervous after hearing this, and couldn't help but look back at Jiang Beiran.
"Go ahead, if you want to stay with me, this is the path you must take."
There was no comfort or encouragement, but these words filled Xia Lingdang's heart with strength.
"call……"
Taking a long breath, Xia Lingdang first saluted Jiang Beiran and Yu Manwen, and then walked towards Lan Qi.
Looking at Xia Lingdang's determined back, Jiang Beiran wondered how quickly she could master the first form of the Heart Technique.
'An hour?'
'No, no, no, this is too underestimated the fate of the protagonist. One stick of incense, or even half a stick of incense is not impossible.'
However, Jiang Beiran guessed wrong, and it was a big mistake.
After three full hours passed, Xia Lingdang still didn't know how to feel the aura around her.
That is to say, you are stuck on the first step.
‘I…don’t give me a protagonist who is a waste material at the beginning of the game right now!?’
Even Yu Manwen couldn't help but tease Jiang Beiran: "What did you tell me about her in the first place?"
Jiang Beiran naturally did not reply, but called Xia Lingdang aside.
However, before Jiang Beiran could say anything, Xia Lingdang cried "Wow".
"I'm sorry, master, I'm so stupid, woo woo woo."
"Don't cry."
Xia Lingdang was startled after hearing this, and swallowed back her snot and tears hard.
Then Jiang Beiran took out a brocade handkerchief and handed it to Xia Lingdang, "Wipe it."
"Thank you...thank you, master."
As Xia Lingdang wiped away her tears, Jiang Beiran asked, "What did you feel when Lan Qi asked you to feel the spiritual energy?"
"I...I didn't feel anything."
"You don't need to think about spiritual energy. Just tell me everything you felt at that time. It's everything."
"I...I feel it's cool here, I feel anxious, and I...I still feel a little hungry."
Listening to Xia Lingdang trying her best to describe everything she felt, there was nothing that made Jiang Beiran feel that she was special.
This gave him a big headache.
In Jiang Beiran's understanding, there are two types of waste material flow protagonists.
One is that on the surface he has awakened the most useless martial spirit, but in fact he is the ultimate genius with dual martial spirits, but he has just hidden it.
With how much Xia Lingdang trusts him now, Jiang Beiran doesn't think she will hide it from him.
So it shouldn't be like this.
The other kind of useless protagonist is a protagonist who starts with mediocre qualifications and low talent, and is ridiculed and ostracized by the surrounding brothers. Or he is a protagonist who was originally talented and qualified, but suddenly became weak for some reason.
Xia Lingdang must have never had any training experience before, so naturally she has never been gifted.
Then the only thing left is that she really has mediocre qualifications and low talent.
And such protagonists usually get adventures quickly, and then grow up at an extraordinary speed, thus pretending to be a slap in the face.
'Qi Yu... I am not her Qi Yu, am I?'
'Do you want me to teach her in person?'
Ideas kept popping up in Jiang Beiran's mind. Anyway, all he was sure of now was that Xia Lingdang was definitely not a genius in the traditional sense, but had taken another path.
'Oh...I have a headache.'
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran reached out and patted Xia Lingdang on the shoulder, who was still recalling what he had just felt.
"Don't think about it anymore, just go and practice slowly, don't be in a hurry."
"yes……"
"Go ahead."
After hearing this, Xia Lingdang turned her head three times and walked towards Lan Qi, her eyes full of uneasiness.
The reason why Jiang Beiran asked her to continue learning was because he wanted to see how mediocre her qualifications were. If she really couldn't learn at all, Jiang Beiran would be happy, because then he could completely regard Xia Lingdang as a useless protagonist.
to cultivate.
On the contrary, if her talents were similar to those of ordinary practitioners, then Jiang Beiran would really be in pain.
After all, mediocrity is the real waste.
Standing next to Yu Manwen again, Jiang Beiran felt that he had encountered a difficult incident this time.
It is not difficult to train Xia Lingdang, but it is too difficult to be her personal nanny.
But Jiang Beiran had no choice but to take one step at a time.
Time soon came to evening. Looking at Xia Lingdang, who was still scratching her head because she couldn't feel the spiritual energy, Jiang Beiran said to Manwen: "That's it for today."
"Are you giving up now?" Yu Manwen asked.
"It's not about giving up, it's just that people don't have to stick to one path to the end."
Yu Manwen nodded after listening, walked to Lan Qi and whispered a few words to her.
Then the Lan Qi bowed to Yu Manwen and left the practice room.
Looking at Xia Lingdang who was about to bury her head in her chest, Jiang Beiran said: "Don't be anxious, just take your time. Come on, I'll take you somewhere first."
Yu Manwen on the side heard this and asked, "Aren't you going back to Tinglan Waterside Pavilion with me?"
"Well, you go back first, and I'll take her around again."
Once again surprised by Jiang Beiran's attention to this girl, Yu Manwen nodded and said: "Then I will go back first, and I will help you bring the message."
"good."
After Yu Manwen left, Jiang Beiran took Xia Lingdang to Jinyao Town.
Arriving at his residence, Jiang Beiran opened the door and saw Uncle Li sweeping the floor seriously.
Naturally, Uncle Li also saw him. He immediately put down his broom and saluted, "I have met the eldest son."
"No need to salute, just keep doing your thing."
"Yes." After Li Bo said that, he immediately ran away with the broom.
After Uncle Li left, Xia Lingdang suddenly grabbed Jiang Beiran's arm and said, "Master, I want to stay by your side and serve you. I don't want to stay in this house."
This was the first time Jiang Beiran discovered that Xia Lingdang had the will to follow him.
But this made Jiang Beiran feel a little strange.
She is just an ordinary person and very obedient. If I arrange a job for her, she should be happy to do it.
But judging from her behavior, it seemed that she was worried that she would just leave her here.
Although this can be understood to mean that she relies on herself, it still makes Jiang Beiran feel weird, as if she has missed something.
After sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran replied: "Don't worry, I won't leave you here."
After saying that, he led Xia Lingdang and walked inside.
Arriving at the garden with ease, Jiang Beiran recited a mantra and brought Xia Lingdang into the self-enchantment.
The next second, Jiang Beiran saw Gu Qinghuan running out of the flower room, saluted to Jiang Beiran and said, "Greetings, senior brother."
Although I hadn't seen him for more than a month, when I met Gu Qinghuan this time, I found that he had "returned to his original nature".
I still remember that the last time I saw Gu Qinghuan, Jiang Beiran felt that he had become a muscular brother.
However, when we met again this time, he seemed to have turned back into the elegant and elegant Confucian scholar, and the muscles on his body didn't know where to go.
It is definitely impossible to say that Gu Qinghuan gave up training in order not to become a muscular man, so Jiang Beiran could only think that those muscles had turned into some stronger power hidden in his body.
After all, Juzimin also has a standard physical education, but when Jiang Beiran looked at him, he didn't feel that he was full of flesh and blood, but instead felt like a refined senior brother.
After bowing to his senior brother, Gu Qinghuan looked up and saw the dark-skinned girl.
"Nice to meet you." Gu Qinghuan greeted with cupped hands.
"Hello." Xia Lingdang immediately returned the greeting.
When the two of them greeted each other, Jiang Beiran felt the changes in this self-boundary with his heart.
'The fire spirit energy is becoming more and more abundant. Unfortunately, the purity of the fire spirit energy in Qing Huan's body is too low. Even if it fills the entire self-enchantment, the effect will be limited.'
Now Jiang Beiran already knows that not everyone can practice "Zhen Yuan Tiangang Jue", and it is even very likely that only a very small number of people can practice it.
This raised Jiang Beiran's attention to Gu Qinghuan to another level.
After all, every time he builds a self-enchantment in the future, he will need Gu Qinghuan to act as a perpetual motion machine. This is not only to save resources for maintaining the barrier, but also to make the self-enchantment better.
Therefore, the top priority is to find a way to improve the purity of the fire spirit energy in Gu Qinghuan's body.
Withdrawing his mental power, Jiang Beiran looked at Gu Qinghuan and asked, "How is Ding doing?"
"To reply to Senior Brother, I have tried my best to instill the fire spirit into the cauldron, but I don't know if I can satisfy Senior Brother."
"Well, take me to see it."
"yes."
When he came to the alchemy room and looked at the Golden Crow Cauldron placed in the center, Jiang Beiran showed a satisfied smile.
After leaving Jinding Island through the portal last time, Jiang Beiran transported all the harvest back to his own barrier.
Firstly, the self-enchantment is his safest base camp at present, and secondly, in the self-enchantment, the materials he obtained from Jinding Island can also absorb more spiritual energy, thereby becoming better.
This Golden Crow Cauldron is Jiang Beiran's biggest gain from his execution on Jinding Island, and he naturally values it the most.
Because Qing Huan was not within the self-enchantment when he came back that time, Jiang Beiran wrote a letter to him, telling him that he must use the fire spirit to nourish the cauldron.
After receiving the letter, Lu Qinghuan immediately replied to express that he understood.
Now it seems that this Golden Crow Cauldron is still well maintained, and Jiang Beiran can feel that the fire spirit energy inside it is even stronger than before in the magma.
"Well done." Jiang Beiran nodded towards Gu Qinghuan and affirmed.
