After discovering that Huo Wenkang was so talented in spells, Jiang Beiran decided to train him better, otherwise it would be a pity for such a good young man.
Taking out a copy of "Shangqing Talisman" from the Qiankun Ring, Jiang Beiran looked at Huo Wenkang and asked.
"How to understand the relationship between heaven, earth and man in the spell."
This question obviously did not stump Huo Wenkang. He bowed his hand first, and then confidently answered: "The human body steps on the ground as the axis, with the earth as the body, and then uses the gate of heaven as the axis, and uses the human body as the infinity."
"Very good. It seems that your understanding of talismans is indeed very deep. This book of Spells of Purity is given to you. It contains more advanced talisman-making techniques."
"Thank you so much!" Huo Wenkang bowed deeply towards Jiang Beiran, and then took the "Spell of the Supreme Purity" from Jiang Beiran's hand.
When Huo Wenkang carefully stuffed the "Superior Purity Talisman" into his arms, Jiang Beiran said: "Now you should have reached the Great Perfection in all five realms: Nian Gathering, Intent Condensation, Talisman Yin, Curse Starting, and Seal Jue.
And based on these five great perfections, what you need to learn is the art of drawing thunder."
"Lightning?"
Huo Wenkang showed a puzzled look, somewhat confused as to what his benefactor meant by "drawing thunder".
Looking at Huo Wenkang's puzzled look, Jiang Beiran explained: "This thunder is not another thunder. There are five innate levels in the human body, namely kidney water, liver wood, heart fire, spleen earth, and lung metal. The five levels not mentioned above are
After all the major realms are completed, the heart fire and kidney water can be used to induce thunder, and coupled with the transformation of liver wood, the spell can be more powerful when used."
Huo Wenkang nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "Based on my benefactor's explanation, since the heart fire and kidney water can attract thunder, can the liver wood also attract wind, attracting wind and rain to strengthen the power of the spell?"
‘What the hell!?’
Jiang Beiran was a little confused after hearing Huo Wenkang's inferences.
This is what he came up with after combining the Five Elements and talismans. In other words, Huo Wenkang would never have been able to say this without profound knowledge of the Five Elements.
'This guy...can't be an all-rounder, right?'
After being shocked, Jiang Beiran calmed down his mind before looking at Huo Wenkang in surprise.
"Oh? You also know the five elements and formations?"
Huo Wenkang immediately clasped his fists and said, "My father invited a formation master to teach me some basics, but I dare not understand them in words."
"There is no need to be modest. What you said just now is not based on the five elements. Let me guess, you gathered the thoughts, condensed the mind, drew the talisman, started the curse, and sealed the five-fold mantra in one breath.
The realm corresponds to the five elements of the human body, right?"
"Yes, just as my benefactor said."
"Hahaha." Jiang Beiran laughed for a while after hearing this, and looked at Huo Hongfei and said, "Young master is really smart. It seems that the Huo family is destined to rise in his generation."
After hearing this, Huo Hongfei quickly raised his hands and said: "How virtuous and capable a dog is, to be so praised by the master."
Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran said: "I never praise others easily, but your master is really smart. He can even be said to be the smartest person I have ever met. It's rare, it's really rare."
When he heard the Lord praising his son to such an extent that he was worthy of being in heaven and being nothing on earth, Huo Hongfei immediately understood what he meant.
So he pushed Huo Wenkang forward, then cupped his hands towards Jiang Beiran and said: "If the Lord does not give up, please let Quan Zi worship you as his teacher."
When Huo Wenkang heard this, he immediately knelt down and saluted Jiang Beiran and said, "Please accept me as your disciple!"

[Option 2: "I never accept disciples." Completion reward: Random basic skill point +1]
'Good guy... he is indeed the protagonist who deceives the master.'
Jiang Beiran originally thought that if Huo Hongfei had the fate of "brother-in-law", then his son might not have the fate of the protagonist.
But now it seems that father and son are both protagonists.
This situation usually occurs when the father cheats first, shocking the entire continent, and then suddenly encounters a major event and disappears. At this time, the son embarks on the journey of cultivation, and when he encounters danger during the period, the father who has been hiding from the world for a long time secretly rescues him.
The son, however, left quietly.
After understanding this, Jiang Beiran began to think about the plot that should have belonged to the protagonist father and son.
Without his intervention, Huo Wenkang would definitely not be able to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, but he would definitely embark on the path of spiritual practice due to other opportunities.
With his intelligence, he will surely show his prominence in the Sheng Kingdom soon. Then by some chance, he meets Huo Zhishang who is hiding in the Sheng Kingdom and is searching for him. Finally, he recognizes his ancestors and learns about his father.
How much suffering he is suffering.
In order to avenge his father, Huo Wenkang will definitely work hard and eventually ascend to the Sheng Kingdom. He will use the power of the whole country to join forces with his father to overthrow the Liang Kingdom and complete his revenge...
'Huh...? That's not right.'
Jiang Beiran, who was thinking about the small theater, suddenly felt that things were not that simple.
Although Sheng Guo is young, he has already met three protagonists.
And the protagonist must reach the summit first in the place of his birth, so wouldn’t the three of them be at loggerheads?
This made Jiang Beiran couldn't help but look at the sky and ask something in his heart.
‘You are raising Gu!?’
Ye Fan, Li Fucheng, Huo Wenkang.
If any one of these three protagonists is named, Jiang Beiran can imagine a plot of their rise.
Because they all have standard protagonist-style starts.
One is a fallen genius whose engagement has been broken off, the other is a miserable second generation who has been hated by his father since he was a child and was ridiculed by his family members along with his mother, and the other is a pseudo-grassroots whose mother died tragically, his family was in trouble, and he went into exile in another country without knowing his own life experience.
The three protagonists were born in the same place, and Jiang Beiran couldn't think of any other words to describe them other than raising gu.
This made him firmer in his previous conjecture.
When he helped Xiao Qi find his life experience on Jinding Island last time, Jiang Beiran felt that because he might affect the development of the protagonists, he was regarded as a "bug" by Tiandao and has been repaired.
And so far, he has indeed changed the life direction of several protagonists.
'Gan...I didn't do this intentionally.'
But things have come to this point, and Jiang Beiran also knows that it is impossible for Heaven to let him go, so he might as well fight to the end.
Anyway, he has long had no illusions about the way of heaven.
'But I don't know if it's the bad taste of Heaven or whose bad taste caused the three protagonists to appear in the Sheng Kingdom at the same time. What do they want to do? Which of them has a tougher fate? Which one can stand out, which one can...
…etc?'
‘What the hell!?’
Jiang Beiran suddenly felt that he had realized something.
Maybe the entire Xuanlong Continent is just a "jar" for raising poisonous insects.
Then Heaven or some higher being scattered various "protagonist seeds" on this continent, waiting for them to decide the strongest one.
As for what fate awaits the strongest "protagonist"...
Only God knows.
'And I...are here to mess up this game?'
At this moment, Jiang Beiran finally had a glimmer of understanding and began to understand why the law of heaven was always targeting him.
‘I am affecting your interest in playing games, right?’
'But so what if I want to understand a little bit. With his current abilities, he can't change anything. He might as well continue to fight against the way of heaven.'
'Anyway, the game will have an ending. As for who the winner is...it depends on who is better at playing it.'
Heaving a sigh of relief, Jiang Beiran chose number two and said to Huo Wenkang, "I never accept disciples."
Hearing Jiang Beiran's response, the three members of the Huo family were stunned at the same time.
Because from Jiang Beiran's words just now, Huo Hongfei felt that the Lord had clearly stated that he wanted to accept his son as his disciple, but unexpectedly, he guessed wrong.
Huo Wenkang was also confused. He tried his best to express himself so that his benefactor would accept him as his disciple.
And the benefactor was obviously very satisfied with him just now.
Logically speaking, shouldn't it be logical to accept him as a disciple after testing him with a few more questions?
How come when this critical step is reached...my benefactor doesn't follow the rules?
Seeing Huo Wenkang still kneeling on the ground, Jiang Beiran continued: "Get up, I told you, I will never accept disciples."
"Yes..." Huo Wenkang stood up, a little disappointed.
Patting Huo Wenkang's shoulder, Jiang Beiran looked at Huo Hongfei and said: "The reason why I praise him like this is to stop you from overprotecting him. When you should let him go out to practice, just let him go out and practice, and always protect him in the palm of your hand."
But you can’t become a strong person.”
After hearing this, Huo Hongfei immediately understood the Lord's good intentions.
Because for Huo Hongfei, Huo Wenkang, his son, could be regarded as a lost son. Although he was very harsh on Huo Wenkang on the surface, he must have loved Huo Wenkang to the extreme in his heart and could never see him being harmed in the slightest.
If he continues to be overprotected like this, it will be really difficult for Huo Wenkang to become a talent. After all, there is no strong person on this continent who has not been trained through experience. Just practicing at home is not enough.
After thinking about this, Huo Hongfei immediately raised his hands towards Jiang Beiran and said, "Thank you, sir, for your advice. I will definitely keep it in mind."
"Well, besides, you won't be having the family dinner. There are really too many things to do these days. I came here just to see how you are doing. Since everything is fine, I will stay soon."
Jiang Beiran originally agreed to eat this meal because the system prompted a prompt.
Now that I think about it, I probably want to meet Huo Wenkang myself.
Of course, Huo Hongfei had no intention of forcing Jiang Beiran to stay, so he directly answered: "Yes, I will send you out now."
Jiang Beiran didn't refuse, and the father and son saw him off to the door.
When he was about to leave again, Jiang Beiran suddenly remembered that he had not seen Huo Wenkang's cultivation before, so he used his mental power to examine him.
'Hey... you're a fucking genius!'
Huo Wenkang, who was an ordinary person two years ago, is now a Xuanling!
This speed is exactly the same as Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi has entered the secret realm, but Huo Wenkang most likely has not, otherwise they will definitely tell themselves.
‘Really an all-around genius?’
But since he could not be accepted as a disciple, Jiang Beiran did not intend to interfere with Huo Wenkang. He turned to look at Huo Hongfei and Jiang Beiran said: "Hurry up and deal with the matter of the emperor Gu. I will wait for your good news."
"Yes!" Huo Hongfei lowered his head and saluted.
"Well, let's go." Jiang Beiran waved his hand and walked into the crowd with Xia Lingdang.
After walking through the streets for a while, Jiang Beiran came to a small courtyard and raised his hand to knock on it.
"Boom."
And just when Jiang Beiran was about to knock a second time, the courtyard door had already been opened.
"Brother Wang!" Li Fucheng said excitedly as he opened the door.
Li Fucheng had already received the paper kite from Brother Wang yesterday and told him that he would come today, so he waited at the door early in the morning.
"Well, let's go in and talk." Jiang Beiran nodded and took Xia Lingdang into the yard.
"Brother Wang." In the courtyard, Tang Tingshuang, who was holding a teapot, saluted Jiang Beiran.
Nodding towards Tang Tingshuang, Jiang Beiran found a stone bench and sat down, looked at Li Fucheng and asked, "How have you been lately?"
After hearing this, Li Fucheng scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It's all just busy work and nothing big has been accomplished."
"Brother Wang, you have tea." Tang Tingshuang poured Jiang Beiran a cup of tea and said.
Then she looked at the girl standing behind Brother Wang, politely poured her a cup and said, "Please use tea."
Seeing this, Xia Lingdang waved her hands quickly and said, "Thank you... thank you, I won't drink it."
"Okay, then I'll put it aside and drink it when you want to drink it."
"Thanks."
After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Beiran asked again: "Have you been to your master's place recently?"
"I have been there." Li Fucheng nodded, "Since Brother Wang told me last time that I should take the initiative to visit more, I will visit Master whenever I have time."
"When was the last time you went?"
"Three days ago."
"Well...write a letter to your master and say that you will take me with you when you visit tomorrow."
Li Fucheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I'll write it right away."
Jiang Beiran knew that this matter could be easily solved when he heard Liu Zijin mention that the sect behind the Xun family was the Qiantian Sect.
The Xun family is just a subordinate family of the Qiantian Sect. To put it bluntly, they help out with miscellaneous tasks. And who is Li Fucheng? The disciple of the leader of the Qiantian Sect! As long as Li Fucheng says something casually, this matter will be easily solved.
It’s completely a dimensionality reduction attack!
Jiang Beiran originally came to Liang State just to see Li Fucheng and explain the matter to him.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Originally, he wanted to say hello to Yin Jianghong before meeting Li Fucheng, but he didn't expect that after saying hello, he would take the top spot in Shengguo.
With this episode, Jiang Beiran's plan also changed, and he was ready to meet the head of the Yan clan in person.
First, let’s explore that person’s tone and see what his current attitude is towards Sheng Guo. Second, let’s see if we can talk about cooperation with him.
After a while, Li Fucheng, who had sent the letter, returned to Jiang Beiran and said, "Brother Wang, the letter has been sent."
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded and took advantage of the situation to check Li Fucheng's cultivation level again.
'Hmm... My cultivation is indeed only progressing steadily, reaching the third level of Xuanwang. It seems that I have not had many adventures in the past two months.'
