As an all-around master who "wears many hats", Jiang Beiran has to go out to trigger options during the day, and tinker with various elixirs, formations, forging and other "businesses" at night. He is busy a lot of the time and really has no time to do anything else.
Go to the foot of the mountain to collect rare materials that are difficult to obtain in various sects.
So in desperation, Jiang Beiran could only carefully select a few outstanding "errand boys".
Wu Qingce was the first candidate selected by Jiang Beiran. First of all, this second-generation hero had fought head-on with him, so he was one of the few who knew a small part of his true strength.
Secondly, one year after the incident, Wu Qingce has indeed remained tight-lipped and has never revealed his strength to anyone.
Of course, the most important point is that when Jiang Beiran was preparing to "conquer" him, the system did not give any dangerous options, which meant that exposing part of his strength to Wu Qingce would not cause any danger.
Ever since, Wu Qingce, who had passed all the tests without knowing it, was invited by Jiang Beiran to the back mountain for an in-depth conversation. The latter had always admired Jiang Beiran inexplicably and thought he was a trustworthy senior brother, so
The conditions were agreed upon in a few words.
The condition was that Jiang Beiran would provide him with various weapons, elixirs, formations, and poisons, while Wu Qingce had to help run errands.
…
"Senior brother... you almost knocked me out just now." Wu Qingce said as he smeared the two big bumps on his head with medicinal wine.
Jiang Beiran glanced at him sideways and said, "If I don't beat you to pain, how can you remember it?"
"I was wrong. I will never break into the formation set up by my senior brother again next time."
"You!" Jiang Beiran said, raising his hand to hit again, but looking at the two big red bags, he stopped his hand, "Am I angry because you broke into my magic circle? I am angry because I taught you clearly
You have made so many mistakes, but you still made all the mistakes you shouldn't have made. First of all, what did you do after you smelled the strange smell?"
"Hold your breath." Wu Qingce replied.
"Hey, do you think if I really want to use the smoke to knock down the intruder, do you think it will smell?"
"Ah..." Wu Qingce was stunned for a moment and asked: "So the purpose of senior brother letting me smell the smell is to make me hold my breath?"
"What else? The trick of mixing incense is not a problem in the eyes of many experts. Once the body is not right, there are various ways to expel it, but if you let them smell it deliberately, they will just choose to hold their breath just like you.
, although there will be no serious problems for a mysterious person even if he doesn't breathe for an hour, but not taking in oxygen... that is, not breathing will make your mind gradually become dull, and you will lose your normal reason and judgment.
"In the end, you will become as stupid as you just now, knowing that you can't get out of the battle, but still trying to break through."
"So that's how it is..." Wu Qingce suddenly realized that he was indeed a little over the top when he couldn't get out of the formation just now, so he did it again without much thought. Looking back now, he felt like he was following a demon.
"I'm sorry for you...!" Jiang Beiran couldn't hold it back anymore and wanted to take action again, but in the end he calmed down first.
'Don't be angry, don't be angry, I accept it, I accept it.'
No wonder Jiang Beiran was so angry. He had repeatedly warned and told Wu Qingce to play the flute when he came and not to enter the formation by himself. It was very dangerous inside. You must know that the Bafang Shura Formation just now was a killing formation, designed to deal with those
The uninvited guest who tried to force his way into the formation, if he hadn't arrived in time, his number one brother would have been the first one to be tricked by the formation, and who would he have been able to complain to?
After taking a long breath, Jiang Beiran changed the subject and asked, "Why are you here with me this time?"
Seeing that his senior brother had finally spared him this time, Wu Qingce quickly replied: "I won the crown in this Jiangbei District sect disciple martial arts competition, and I came here to tell you the good news."
When Jiang Beiran heard this, he understood. No wonder this kid suddenly became distracted. As the name suggests, this Jiangbei District Sect Disciple Competition is a competition between young disciples of various major sects. Anyone under the age of 20 can participate. If you can
If you get first place in this competition, you will be considered the first young disciple who deserves the title.
"So this is the reason why you dare to break into the formation?"
After hearing this, Wu Qingce quickly put away his proud expression and said: "I mainly want to let my senior brother see my progress. I have read the positive and negative four-image array several times along the way, and I have gained a lot of experience, so...
…”
"Well, winning the championship is a happy event, so I won't say much about you, but next time remember, the time when you are most proud is also the time when you are most likely to fall, remember?"
"Yes, Qingce will keep it in mind."
Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at the number one young disciple in Jiangbei District.
‘As expected, I am the one in Guixin Sect c.’
Naturally, Jiang Beiran knew Wu Qingce's strength very well. After "cooperating" for a year, Jiang Beiran gradually began to truly regard him as his junior brother, so he often gave him some pills to improve his physical strength or skill, and occasionally gave him
He will serve as a sparring partner and point out his shortcomings in the battle.
But I didn't expect that I would directly teach "the number one person in Jiangbei District".
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. The birch leaf forest you asked me to go to, senior brother, has recently changed. A second-order thunder-marked beast suddenly lived in it."
Jiang Beiran paused when he heard the figure, nodded and said: "Very good, continue to observe and see if more strange beasts have settled in. If more than three appear, notify me immediately."
"Yes." After agreeing, Wu Qingce hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Brother, can I ask you what your plans are?"
"What, is there something wrong?" Based on the long-term tacit understanding between the two, Wu Qingce would usually not ask too many questions about Jiang Beiran's instructions, and would just follow them.
"Yes." Wu Qingce raised his hand towards Jiang Beiran: "My skills have increased a lot during this period, so I want to challenge a second-level alien beast and break through to the Xuan Master level in one fell swoop."
‘Oh? Are we finally about to break through? Okay, then I’ll take you with me when I go to the birch forest, and I’ll give you a skimming formation.’
"Thank you, senior brother!" Wu Qingce said with joy.
While talking, the two of them had arrived at Jiang Beiran's "secret base".
Generally speaking, it is impossible for a registered disciple like Jiang Beiran to have a training ground in the back mountain, but Jiang Beiran relied on his superb chess skills and often helped the hall master solve some "little troubles" to open a back door.
"Every time I come to this purple bamboo forest, I feel more comfortable than the last time. Senior brother, how do you raise these bamboos?"
Wu Qingce remembered that when he first brought these purple bamboos, each root was less than two meters at most, but now each root is almost reaching the sky, and it is simply blocking the sky.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't. Come and have tea."
