Chapter 469

Chapter 469: It’s quite a bitch here

Spores are the first step in the life of mushrooms. Unlike plants, spores cannot perform photosynthesis, which means they cannot support themselves, so they must find support.

And now, Jiang Beiran is their chosen "backer".

As long as they develop into mycelium, they can obtain a large amount of nutrients from Jiang Beiran's body to grow themselves.

If they are some "friendly" spores, then while absorbing nutrients from the "backer", they will also provide the "backer" with moisture and elements necessary for survival. It can be considered a win-win relationship.

But some spores are just pure scoundrels. They only absorb nutrients. Whether their "backer" dies or not has nothing to do with them.

And the batch of spores that now entered Jiang Beiran's body were just such a group of stinky hooligans. After they were inhaled into Jiang Beiran's body, they quickly dispersed and began to look for a place where they could have a feast.

"Si Liu...this body looks very nutritious."

A muscular spore wiped the saliva from his mouth and was about to pounce on the delicious blood when he saw a pure white figure appear in front of him.

"Get out of the way! Otherwise I'll hit you hard."

The white figure just smiled and then punched out.

Seeing all the spores in front of him, the white figure clapped his hands and disappeared in an instant.

"ah!!"

"what happened!?"

"What are these white devils!? Why are they so cruel!? Ah!!!"



Amidst the bursts of screams, the spores disappeared in pieces, without even a chance to move forward.

After taking two puffs of spore powder, Jiang Beiran almost understood the function of these spores.

'parasitic.'

Unlike poisonous powders that can cause organ failure, spores are actually more troublesome to deal with because once they take shape in a target's body, they are difficult to eliminate.

The reason is that poisons can be neutralized with antidotes to achieve the purpose of detoxification.

But spores are not the same. Whatever you take, the panacea will be absorbed along with you without any surprise.

So if you want to get rid of the spores that have completed parasitism, you can basically only use physical means. But as long as these spores survive, they will multiply rapidly. By then, the body will be full of rooted mushrooms. Cutting them and cutting your own flesh are actually

There is no difference.

But once these spores cannot be eliminated, they will completely drain the body they rely on, which made Jiang Beiran couldn't help but think about the death of that person.

'You should be covered in mushrooms.'

Understanding how troublesome this spore powder was, Jiang Beiran swayed them away and walked up to Qu Yangze and said, "Can you inhale these spores into your body again?"

Qu Yangze nodded after hearing this, opened his mouth and sucked all the spore powder into his stomach.

'Talent...'

With a sigh, Jiang Beiran patted Qu Yangze and said, "Come with me to the alchemy room later."

Although this mushroom grew from Qu Yangze's body, Jiang Beiran discovered that the quality was exceptionally high, not inferior to those treasures that had been produced for decades or centuries.

It would undoubtedly be a huge waste to eat this treasure directly.

So Jiang Beiran plans to try to turn it into a poisonous elixir next time, and it is a poisonous elixir that Qu Yangze can take as a tonic.

After watching the mushroom explosion performance, Jiang Beiran led a group of people back to the living room, and sat at the table to make scented tea.

"Are there any other gains?" Jiang Beiran asked while pouring water.

"No more." Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze shook their heads together.

Nodding, Jiang Beiran concentrated on making scented tea.



At noon the next day, Jiang Beiran took Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze, dressed in nude clothes, to a private room in a restaurant. This was where Wen Yunyan asked Gu Qinghuan to meet.

The reason why Jiang Beiran came was naturally because Gu Qinghuan said that he was only 90% sure of being able to escape unscathed.

Then you have to ensure that even 10% of it won't happen.

As for bringing Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze with me, I just hope that they can see more of Qing Huan's negotiation skills and learn from them.

Arching her hands in the direction where her senior brother "disappeared", Lu Qinghuan sat cross-legged and waited quietly.

About half the time it took to burn the incense, there was a knock on the box door. Gu Qinghuan opened his eyes and said, "Please come in."

With a "squeak", the wooden door was pushed open, and a young man who looked very gloomy glanced into the box a few times, then stepped in and looked at Gu Qinghuan and asked: "Are you the Gu Guansan Guan San said?

"

"That's right." Gu Qinghuan nodded, "You must be the third son of the Wen family."

"Yes, that's me." After Wen Yunyan said this, he walked to the table and sat down cross-legged.

"I wonder if Mr. Wen prefers wine or tea?" Gu Qinghuan took out the wine bowl and teacup at the same time and looked at Wen Yunyan and asked.

"You can drink whatever you want. I want you to help me check something this time."

Seeing that Wen Yunyan was so vigorous and cheerful, Lu Qinghuan poured a bowl of wine and pushed it in front of Wen Yunyan.

"Master Wen, do you want to ask about your eldest brother?"

"That's right, as long as you can find evidence that those bastards from the Liu family killed my eldest brother, I can give you whatever you want."

After taking a sip of wine, Gu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Master Wen, are you serious about what you said?"

"I, Wen Yunyan, always do what I say."

"Then please first ask Mr. Wen a few questions."

"Say, as long as it can help you find evidence, I'll answer anything."

Since Wen Yunyan found this place, he had naturally heard all about Gu Qinghuan's deeds, and his two friends also strongly recommended him to try this place.

Therefore, although they had never met, Gu Qinghuan's position in his heart was not low, so Wen Yunyan did not put on any airs of being a member of a big family.

"Mr. Wen, have you ever thought that your brother was not killed by the Liu family?"

After hearing this, Wen Yunyan directly slapped the table and said: "Impossible!"

"As far as I know, brother Ling and Miss Lin Yan were discovered at the same time. If it was really the Liu family who killed them, they certainly knew that they were the most likely to be suspected, so why not destroy the bodies on the spot and eliminate all traces?

Instead of just throwing the body there?"

Wen Yunyan laughed disdainfully and replied: "Because they know that whether they are buried or not, we will still think of them."

Jiang Beiran, who was standing not far away, heard this answer and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

'Okay, I have an internal smell...'

Although I haven't visited all the six countries of the Central Plains, based on my current feelings, in addition to being much higher in cultivation than Shengguo, the IQs of the powerful people in these six countries are actually about the same as those of the senior officials of Shengguo.

And the IQs are almost the same, which means there will be a lot of bloody "plots".

A death incident like this was obviously full of loopholes on the surface, but no one took a closer look at it and directly concluded that it must be a good thing done by the other party.

It's as if they are waiting for the protagonist to come over, frown, have a flash of inspiration, and then use their smart big brains to deduce these clues that even a dog can see.

When Jiang Beiran suppressed his complaints, Gu Qinghuan said: "I wonder if Mr. Lin has ever thought that your brother's body was found so easily because someone wanted you to see it quickly and start a conflict with the Liu family.

?"

Wen Yunyan frowned after hearing this, "Are you saying that someone wants to provoke a war between us and the Liu family?"

"Yes, this possibility does exist."

After a moment of silence, Wen Yunyan asked again: "But who would do this?"

"I will investigate this slowly, but during the investigation, I hope to get Mr. Wen's full support, otherwise we will not be able to get through some places."

After hearing this, Wen Yunyan readily agreed: "Don't worry, as long as you do things for me, I will definitely help you with all my strength."

"I feel relieved with Mr. Wen's words."

"So you took over this matter?" Wen Yunyan asked.

"Master Wen's offer is so high, so I have no reason not to accept it."

"Okay! Then I'm waiting for your good news." After Wen Yunyan finished speaking, he placed a conch-like shell in front of Gu Qinghuan, "As long as you speak into it, I can hear the sound."

'Hey guys...the phone is out!?'

After hearing Wen Yunyan's words, Jiang Beiran was a little surprised. He originally thought that his Feiyuan method of sending messages was high-end enough, but he didn't expect that people had already started using "telephones."

"Okay, I will." Gu Qinghuan nodded, "No matter what clues I find, I will notify Mr. Wen as soon as possible.

"In that case, please be sure to find out the real culprit as soon as possible. I still have important things to do, so I need to take the first step." Wen Yunyan suddenly stood up and said.

"I'm sorry to see you off so far." Gu Qinghuan also stood up.

"You're welcome." Wen Yunyan waved with his back to Lu Qinghuan and left the box.

Looking at Wen Yunyan leaving, if Jiang Beiran was asked to evaluate this conversation, it would be that it was done in one go.

Throughout the entire negotiation, there were not many conflicts between the two of them. They went straight to the topic without any nonsense.

Jiang Beiran originally thought that when a local snake like Wen Yunyan asked someone to do something, he would definitely say something like, "If I can find out, I'll get whatever you want, but if I can't find out, then I'll rip your head off."

The reason why such words did not appear was obviously because the friends that Lu Qinghuan made were relatively important, so Wen Yunyan, who was recommended here, naturally had to take care of his friends' face.

In summary, Gu Qinghuan was doing better than he thought. It could be said that he was already enjoying a lot on this three-thirds of an acre of land.

'Hey, I should have known better than to bring the other two here.'

After all, the only thing that can be seen in this box is the first floor of Qinghuan. It is easy for the two of them to think, "Oh, it turns out that negotiation is so easy."

But considering that the three of them often stay together, I believe they still understand the power of Qing Huan.

After taking off his clothes and sitting at the wine table, Jiang Beiran looked at Lu Qinghuan and asked, "Tell me about your next plan."

Arching his hands towards his senior brother, Gu Qinghuan replied: "I am going to let Wen Yunyan help me enter a few high-end places that only big families can go to, and then slowly investigate in the direction of Biyun Sect."

'A very reasonable choice.'

I went to a high-end place to show that I had tried my best to investigate the Liu family, and only diverted my attention because there was no result. This seemed natural enough.

After all, no matter who comes to see it, the Liu family is definitely the most suspect in this matter.

So it will definitely be no problem to check them.

"Okay, then let me know when you meet next time." Jiang Beiran waved towards the corner of the room and left the box.

Since the system did not pop up any options, it means that helping Wen Yunyan investigate the cause of his eldest brother's death will not bring any trouble to them. If the general direction is OK, the only thing left is to make sure there are no mistakes in the details.

When it comes to details, Jiang Beiran is still very relieved about Gu Qinghuan.

Seeing their senior brother waving towards them, Wu Qingce and the others took off their clothes one after another, bowed their hands towards Gu Qinghuan and left with his senior brother.



Walking on the street, Jiang Beiran was thinking about the next step and triggering system options.

After bypassing another table of rangers who drank without paying, a paper kite suddenly landed in front of Jiang Beiran.

Reaching out to take the kite, Jiang Beiran quickly read the contents of the letter and praised it in his heart.

'As expected of a protagonist, his work efficiency is quite good.'

This paper kite was sent to him by Huo Hongfei. Jiang Beiran had arranged for him to go to Zeng State to investigate the whereabouts of the Emperor Gu. He did not expect that progress would be made so quickly.

'There are so many talents, so many talents, so beautiful, so beautiful.'

However, the progress on Huo Hongfei's side was not as fast as that on Gu Qinghuan's side. Gu Qinghuan had already locked the Zhanri Liu and thought of a plan on how to obtain it, while Huo Hongfei only found some clues.

However, it was inherently more difficult for Huo Hongfei to investigate the Emperor Gu than for Lu Qinghuan.

After all, Zhanri Liu was the exact information Jiang Beiran got from Shi Yutong, while Emperor Gu was the less certain gossip from Lin Shiyun.

The difficulty of the two can be said to be worlds apart.

Previously, Jiang Beiran asked Ju Zimin, a local, to investigate for so long without finding any clues, but as soon as Huo Hongfei arrived, he immediately made progress, which can be said to be quite impressive.

What Huo Hongfei wrote in the letter was that he had found someone who had secretly sold Emperor Gu on the black market.

It's just that Emperor Gu is simply a contraband among contrabands. Even Zeng, the country with the most free trade, cannot tolerate it, so very few people know about it, and those who know will not tell others.

I have been involved in this transaction myself, so it is extremely difficult to investigate.

Huo Hongfei's progress now is that he found one of the merchants in the black market who had seen the Emperor Gu seller before, and the merchant had told him the contact point of the Emperor Gu seller.

Although Huo Hongfei kept apologizing in the letter, saying that his investigation had not made any substantial progress.

But Jiang Beiran already felt that this person was a bit too modest. Just confirming that Zeng Guo did have the emperor Gu was enough.

All that's left is to slowly investigate.

Back at Fei Mansion, Jiang Beiran bypassed Shi Fenglan's attack and went directly to the study, where he wrote a reply to Huo Hongfei.

After sending the letter, Jiang Beiran returned to the living room and asked as he looked at everyone who was saluting him.

"We'll have barbecue tonight."
