As soon as the two disciples guarding the gate saw Li Fucheng approaching, they immediately raised their hands and saluted.
Nodding towards the two of them, Li Fucheng led Jiang Beiran and Xia Lingdang in directly.
The two guards pretended not to notice and continued to stand guard.
"What is Zhenshan?" Jiang Beiran suddenly asked when he was halfway through the journey.
Li Fucheng immediately explained after hearing this: "Zhenshan specifically refers to the person who is responsible for maintaining the sect's protective formation within the sect."
"It fits pretty well."
Jiang Beiran nodded and followed Li Fucheng towards the mountain.
Along the way, all the disciples he saw bowed to Li Fucheng, and Jiang Beiran couldn't help but asked curiously: "Does everyone in Qiantian Sect know that you are the direct disciple of Sect Leader Yan?"
"Yes." Li Fucheng nodded, "Master once held a grand ceremony for me when I learned all nine types of formations, officially announcing to everyone that I was his direct disciple."
Jiang Beiran nodded after hearing this, indicating that he understood.
On the way, Jiang Beiran used his mental power to monitor the passing Qiantian Sect disciples, and found that their average cultivation level was not as outrageous as what he had seen in the Shi family, and the great Xuan masters still accounted for the majority.
Although this level is slightly higher than that of the disciples of the top sects in Shengguo, it is not much higher.
'It seems that except for the Central Plains, the level of aura in other places is not much different.'
But think about it, with this "whirlpool-shaped" spiritual energy distribution, all the benefits are destined to be concentrated in the center. As long as you can't squeeze into the middle, you are destined to only get some "substandard goods."
However, since Xuanzun can appear in the Xing Kingdom, it means that the quality of spiritual energy here is still much better than that in the Sheng Kingdom, and it is estimated that more heavenly materials and earthly treasures will be produced in all aspects.
After walking for a while while watching, Li Fucheng suddenly said: "Brother Wang, the Panling Peak where Master is is right in front. I'll go and let the disciples at the door announce it first."
"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded.
With Brother Wang's consent, Li Fucheng walked towards the two gatekeepers.
After a while, Li Fucheng came back and said to Jiang Beiran: "Brother Wang, master is already waiting for us up there. Let's go up."
"Okay, lead the way."
When following Li Fucheng into Panling Peak, the two gatekeeper disciples did not question Jiang Beiran at all, which made Jiang Beiran wonder whether these guards were here as mascots.
After climbing all the way to Panling Peak, Jiang Beiran could clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy here was much higher than the places he had passed just now. It could be said that it stood out from the rest.
'As expected of the main peak that the sect master treats, it is indeed unique.'
While sighing, Jiang Beiran had already followed Li Fucheng to a mansion built inside the mountain.
"Brother Wang, please wait here for a moment while I say hello to Master."
"good."
Turning around, Li Fucheng arrived in front of the mansion. Just as he was about to speak, the two red iron doors opened with a bang.
"It's Bei Ran who's here, come in quickly!"
Upon hearing Yan Guangqing's warm invitation, Jiang Beiran said to Xia Lingdang, "Just wait for me outside the door."
"Yes." Xia Lingdang bowed respectfully and stood to the side.
After tidying up his clothes, Jiang Beiran took a step forward and walked into the central hall, Li Fucheng first.
Arriving in the middle hall, before Jiang Beiran could speak, Yan Guangqing came to him first.
"Hahaha, when I heard Fucheng say you were coming yesterday, I really didn't expect it. But when I see you today, I feel like I'm meeting an old friend. It's really interesting, it's interesting. Hahaha, come on.
, Sit, sit, sit, sit down and chat slowly.”
At this time, Li Fucheng also walked in from the outside and cupped his hands towards Yan Guangqing and said, "Disciple, pay homage to master."
"Um."
Nodding towards Li Fucheng, Yan Guangqing turned around and sat on an extra-large six-square chair.
"Bei Ran, long time no see, your country is getting better and better."
'Hey... are you so straight to the point?'
Before coming, Jiang Beiran knew that Shengguo's problem was unavoidable, but he didn't expect that Yan Guangqing would bring it up right after greeting him.
It's really a smile.
Arching his hands towards Yan Guangqing, Jiang Beiran said with a smile: "Master Yan, you are so commendable. Our small border country is not worth mentioning in front of such a big country like you."
"A small country? You are not a small country now. You already own three states. In terms of territory, our country is not even bigger than yours..."
'hiss……'
If it was mentioned casually before, now Yan Guangqing has definitely gone straight to the point.
But Jiang Beiran had already prepared for this, so he answered very calmly: "The earth is fine but not abundant. Even if we twist a piece of the insignificant place in Shengguo, it is not as spiritual as the spiritual energy of your peak, Sect Master Yan."
"
"Hahahaha..." Yan Guangqing laughed after hearing this, "My Panling Peak is indeed a treasure of Feng Shui, gathering the essence of heaven and earth. If Beiran likes it, you can come and sit here often."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Master Yan, for your kindness. It's just that such a good place is wasted by letting this junior live in it."
After hearing this, Yan Guangqing leaned forward, looked at Jiang Beiran and said with a smile: "Why, your cultivation is still at the Qi training level?"
"Sect Leader Yan, please stop making fun of me."
"Hahaha, I'm not making fun of you, but I can't see through you more and more." After Yan Guangqing finished speaking, he leaned back on the chair again, crossed his fingers and asked, "I haven't congratulated you yet."
Although he knew what Yan Guangqing was talking about, Jiang Beiran still had to ask with confusion: "Why are you so happy?"
"Shengguo has expanded its territory under your leadership. Isn't this worthy of congratulations?"
Jiang Beiran sighed after hearing this: "Oh, we are also forced to have no choice in this matter. Then Liang Guo..."
"Oh?" At this time, Yan Guangqing suddenly changed his sitting position, stared at Jiang Beiran and said, "Isn't it the first person to deny that Shengguo is under your leadership? As far as I know, you are no longer Shengguo.
The emperor of the country, so now you just change your identity and continue to lead the Sheng Kingdom secretly?"
'Tsk, the old fox just likes to play tricks.'
However, Jiang Beiran said this on purpose, because he came here this time to represent Shengguo and have a good chat with Yan Guangqing, the Xuanzun of the Xingguo, to see if he could win cooperation.
In this case, of course he has to show that Shengguo is indeed still under his leadership. Otherwise, if he is just a gangster, why should people talk to him?
Arching his hands towards Yan Guangqing, Jiang Beiran replied: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Sect Leader Yan. As you may think, I do still have some say in the Sheng Kingdom."
"Hahaha." Seeing that he was right, Yan Guangqing laughed happily, "Okay! Back then, I thought you were a formidable person, but now it seems that I have indeed not misled you."
"Thanks to Sect Master Yan's false praise, this junior is extremely frightened."
"Hey!" Yan Guangqing suddenly waved his hand and said: "Don't panic now. Just now you said that your country, Shengguo, is the one who is forced to have no choice in this matter. I am a little curious about how you are forced to have no choice."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran sighed deeply and said helplessly: "The Liang Kingdom has repeatedly invaded our borders, slaughtered our monks, and wanted to annex our country. Its ambition has long been exposed. We are only doing this to protect ourselves."
.”
"Oh?" Yan Guangqing raised his eyebrows, changed his sitting posture and asked in a very casual tone: "Then will you suddenly feel one day that our country also has the ambition to annex your country?"
'Tsk, the old fox likes to have connotations in his words. Does that mean we have framed Liang Guo with an unfounded charge?'
Just as Jiang Beiran was savoring these words, the system options popped up.
[Option 1: "Hahaha, if Sect Master Yan really has this ambition, it will be a great honor for our country, Sheng. When the time comes, I can just offer my hands to the country of Sheng.", Completion reward: Yuanshi Ba Dian (prefecture-level mid-level)
)]
[Option 2: "What did Sect Master Yan say? How could the country be as rich and powerful as ours, so why would he pay attention to our small land of Sheng Kingdom?", Completion reward: Dragon Martial God Picture (prefecture-level low-grade)]
[Option 3: "If the country really has such ambitions in the future, then we, the country Sheng, will have to protect ourselves again." Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'Good guy...'
Looking at these three options, Jiang Beiran was really surprised.
'This old fox doesn't like soft things.'
If Jiang Beiran continues to say soft words like he did just now, this old fox will definitely take advantage of him until he is ripped apart and skinned.
'Tsk, as expected, the annexation of the Liang Kingdom has had a considerable impact on the top leaders of the Liang Kingdom.'
Understanding the nature of Yan Guangqing's urine, Jiang Beiran chose three, stood up and faced Yan Guangqing directly and said: "If the country really has such ambitions in the future, then we, the country Sheng, will have to protect ourselves again."
As soon as these words came out, Li Fucheng couldn't help but look at Brother Wang with wide eyes.
The two of them were having a good chat just now, why did they suddenly become so tense!?
But no matter what, there is one thing Li Fucheng is sure of.
That is, if Brother Wang and Master really become enemies, then he will definitely join Brother Wang's camp without hesitation.
Yan Guangqing obviously didn't expect Jiang Beiran to dare to speak to him like this.
Because before this, he had been saying nice things to please himself, but he never expected that he would suddenly become hard-headed on this issue, and his hard-headedness was completely beyond his expectation.
'Over the years, I have never been able to figure out who Granny Lin's prediction was, but judging from his inexplicable confidence, this guy does have a great background.'
Seeing that Yan Guangqing did not have an attack on the spot, Jiang Beiran immediately determined that the old fox was probably testing his own bottom line, or testing... something else.
Silence...
The entire nave fell into an eerie silence, and finally Yan Guangqing broke the silence with a smile.
"Look, look, Beiran, why are you so serious about this idle chatter? Sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
'What!?'
Master's words made Li Fucheng's eyes widen even more.
'Brother Wang said something so offensive, but Master doesn't mind at all!?'
Although he didn't spend too much time with his master, Li Fucheng still felt that his master had a very strong temper. Many senior officials in the sect were obedient when talking to him, and almost did not dare to go against his master's wishes.
However, Brother Wang just now was considered a frontal provocation. Master, he...
You actually endured it!?
He even took the initiative to give the steps!?
'Brother Wang...what kind of existence are you?'
When Li Fucheng was shocked, Jiang Beiran was naturally calm and composed. After all, it could be seen from those three options that Yan Guangqing's question was just to test him a little.
If you say soft words, then this temptation will become further suppression.
But if you can resist it, you may even push back.
Then this temptation... will be just a temptation.
So since the other party gave the steps so generously, Jiang Beiran naturally handed over his hand immediately and said: "That is really rude of this junior. Please forgive me, Sect Master Yan."
After hearing this, Yan Guangqing burst into laughter and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. This is what I provoked. What's wrong with Bei Ran? Sit down quickly. I hope this little episode will not affect our next conversation."
"
"Sect Master Yan is indeed magnanimous, and I admire him." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he sat down again.
After Jiang Beiran sat down again, Yan Guangqing also adjusted his sitting position to a comfortable position and said, "As the saying goes, you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I wonder why you came to see me this time, Beiran?"
Seeing Yan Guangqing take the initiative to change the topic, Jiang Beiran knew that the discussion between the two countries had come to an end for the time being, and the next step was the daily routine.
So he also relaxed and cupped his hands and said, "To be fair to Sect Leader Yan, I really have something to ask for when I come here this time."
"But it doesn't matter."
"This junior is looking for a rare treasure, named Jingtianyan. A few days ago, I heard that it flowed into the territory of the country. It's just that I am not familiar with this country and I really don't know where to find it, so I thought of asking for it.
Sect Master Yan, please help."
"Jingtian Yan?" Yan Guangqing nodded, "I have heard of this treasure, but I don't know when it entered the territory of my country. How about I arrange for my right-hand assistant to help you search for it together?"
"I would be very grateful to have the help of the masters under Sect Master Yan!" After bowing his hand towards Yan Guangqing, Jiang Beiran continued: "Sect Master Yan is so kind, and I have also prepared some small gifts. Please don't dislike it, Sect Master."
Jiang Beiran said as he took out a brocade box from the Qiankun Ring and walked to Yan Guangqing and handed it out with both hands.
"Hahaha, Bei Ran is so polite. It's just a trivial matter, why do you need a gift?"
Jiang Beiran immediately said after hearing this: "This is a small matter for you, Master Yan, but it is very important for this junior. Please be sure to accept this small gift."
Seeing Jiang Beiran's insistence, Yan Guangqing reached out and took the brocade box.
"Please open the box and take a look at it, Sect Leader Yan, to see if it suits your liking."
"Okay, okay."
Yan Guangqing nodded and opened the brocade box.
The moment the brocade box was opened, Yan Guangqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows because he smelled a scent of elixir that made him feel very comfortable.
