On the fourteenth day after Qu Yangze formed the cocoon, the cocoon finally began to change. It began to vibrate irregularly and developed some small cracks.
These changes all mean that Qu Yangze is about to emerge from his cocoon.
"Xiao Beiran, Xiao Beiran, it jumped again just now!" Shi Fenglan, who was observing the cocoon, shouted loudly, expressing her excitement about unknown things.
But Jiang Beiran ignored her, because at the moment he was immersed in his own world and composing a sad score.
Compared with making the target fall asleep, using music to arouse the target's emotions is a higher level of performance.
For this reason, Jiang Beiran needs better repertoire, and compared to the existing repertoire, Jiang Beiran believes that the music he composed is better.
Jiang Beiran, who was composing another verse of gongchi score while splashing ink, looked up and found Xia Lingdang standing aside, as if he wanted to report something.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Beiran asked.
"Master, Brother Zhu is at the door and wants to visit you."
'This is taking so long.'
"Go and tell him that I'm busy and let him wait."
"Yes." Xia Lingdang responded and retreated outside the cave.
When Zhu Shangzhen saw Xia Lingdang coming out of the cave, he immediately saluted and said, "Excuse me."
Xia Lingdang shook her head quickly after hearing this, and then said: "The master is busy, he asked you to wait a little longer."
"Thank you." Zhu Shangzhen said gratefully.
Through this period of getting along with each other, the image of the black-robed senior in his heart became taller and taller.
In addition to his men being able to ride An Ming Qiongqi around, Zhu Shangzhen also discovered that the black-robed senior had the ability to "pierce the ears with devilish sounds".
When he heard the beautiful sound of the piano for the first time, Zhu Shangzhen admired in his heart that the sound of the piano could only come from heaven, and it was impossible for an ordinary person to play such a beautiful tune.
Therefore, Zhu Shangzhen immediately concluded that this must be the senior in black robe playing.
Later on the third day, although his senior played the same piece of music, Zhu Shangzhen still shook his head and shook his head... before falling asleep.
After waking up from a sweet dream, Zhu Shangzhen did not feel anything strange, and once again lamented his senior's superb piano skills, just like an immortal.
But when he fell asleep to the wonderful sound of the piano for several days, he began to feel that something was wrong.
Because he found that even if he wanted to stay awake amid the music, it was difficult to do so. If he wasn't careful, it would already be night when he opened his eyes again.
It happened several times in a row after that. It wasn't until the first two days that he summoned up his profound energy and strengthened his energy, and finally managed to stay awake. But when he went down to the first floor, he found that a large number of strange beasts were already sleeping in the hall.
.
The sound of snoring kept coming and going.
From that moment on, Zhu Shangzhen was determined.
The black-robed senior is also a very powerful mysterious musician.
By now, Zhu Shangzhen had been completely impressed by this mysterious black-robed senior.
In terms of cultivation, he was able to tame the eighth-level murderer Qiongqi into a pet.
In terms of Xuan arts, he has profound attainments in formations, beast control and Xuan music, and he is definitely one of the best.
He had never heard of such a big shot before, which was really unbelievable.
‘Could he be the top warrior from the neighboring country?’
After Zhu Shangzhen thought about it, this was the only possibility. After all, he had been a casual cultivator in Zeng State for so long, and he knew more or less about the famous people, otherwise he would not even know if he had hit the iron plate.
After thinking about it over and over for several days and nights, Zhu Shangzhen became more determined to join the disciples of the black-robed senior.
This is not only because of the awe-inspiring power of the black-robed senior, but also because he believes in fate.
Along his journey, no matter how dangerous the situation was, he could turn it into safety, which made him always think that God was very favoring him.
This time he was in danger again, so he took advantage of the situation and regarded the black-robed senior who rescued him as God's will. As long as he joins this senior's disciples in the future, his cultivation career will surely reach a new peak.
After firming up this idea, all Zhu Shangzhen had to do was to fight for it with all his strength. His performance in the previous two times was extremely bad. It can be said that he lost all his impression points with the old man in black robe. If he wanted to recover, he must work hard to the extreme.
Just fine.
As time passed by, at night, Zhu Shangzhen finally saw the long-lost figure.
"I hope you won't let me down again this time."
Upon hearing the first words spoken by the black-robed senior, Zhu Shangzhen's heart instantly rose to his throat.
'Sure enough, my seniors had a very bad impression of me the past two times...'
After sighing and salivating, Zhu Shangzhen forced himself to calm down and replied: "I am stupid, I ask your forgiveness, senior."
"So what are you going to say to me this time?"
With a "pop", Zhu Shangzhen knelt on the ground and said: "Junior Zhu Shangzhen is from Qing'an County, Dongde County, Huizhou. His father is a local official, and his mother is a commoner. I practiced martial arts at the age of three and Qi at the age of five.
, I embarked on the path of self-cultivation at the age of eight. Many opportunities and ups and downs along the way have made me who I am now."
After Zhu Shangzhen finished speaking, he took out a booklet from his arms and held it to the black-robed senior with both hands and said: "This contains all the opportunities I have encountered in my life and many sect friends I have met. Please take a look at it, senior."
'Oh? I also learned how to write my own resume, which is pretty good.'
Looking at Zhu Shangzhen with a pleased look, Jiang Beiran took the booklet and opened it and took a look.
This time, although he only glanced at it briefly, Jiang Beiran could already feel from the lines of these words how rough the experience of this casual cultivator was.
But along with it, there are also so many opportunities that dazzle Jiang Beiran.
'Damn...this luck is definitely that of a protagonist. Every desperate situation can be turned into good fortune. It's simply outrageous.'
But judging from Zhu Shangzhen's birth and family, he doesn't look like a protagonist.
It's so smooth. I have no hatred or hatred in my life. How can I be the "protagonist"?
When Jiang Beiran closed the book, he saw Zhu Shangzhen handing over several more Qiankun rings and saying: "These are rare treasures that I have collected from various mysterious places. I hope that I will accept them."
Jiang Beiran was not polite and reached out to take the Qiankun Ring.
The moment he injected his spiritual consciousness into the Qiankun Ring, he discovered that this Qiankun Ring was very capable. Not only did it have a huge storage space, but it also contained a certain amount of spiritual energy inside.
This means that the items in this Qiankun Ring can still be influenced by spiritual energy, which is so advanced that it is unnecessary.
'Good guy...there are indeed a lot of treasures.'
Just by making a casual observation, Jiang Beiran found that there were quite a lot of treasures in the Qiankun Ring, which could even be said to be a bit ridiculous.
Many of them are even among the top 100 on the rarity spectrum, and they are even numbered.
As a casual cultivator, being able to collect so many treasures is enough to prove the power of his talent.
"Not a bad tribute. I will make arrangements to introduce you to the Lin family as soon as possible. As for the introduction, you have yet to investigate."
Zhu Shang, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled and said, "Yes, this junior must perform well."
"Then do you know why I don't accept you directly, but I want to observe you for a while?"
Although Zhu Shangzhen already had the answer in his mind, he still replied without confidence: "Juniors are stupid, please give me some advice from seniors."
Sighing, Jiang Beiran replied: "What I need is a capable man who can help me with things, not an innocent boy who needs my teaching in everything. Just a small blow has made you afraid to come to see you for nearly ten years."
What can I expect from you with such a character?"
Although Zhu Shangzhen had already guessed that his evaluation among the black-robed seniors must be very low, he didn't expect that he even thought wrong about the reason why his evaluation was so low.
The reason why he took so long to come back to pay his respects was because he wanted to show that he had made a decision after careful consideration. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of his seniors, he fell behind... No, it should be said that it was quite unbearable.
.
"Junior knows that he was wrong."
"No, you don't know yet." Jiang Beiran shook his head and continued: "You still have many shortcomings. Go to the Lin family to exercise, and come to me when you feel that you can really stand on your own. Of course, if you then
If there are better options, feel free to go.”
When Zhu Shangzhen heard this, he quickly expressed his position: "Since I have decided to join my senior, I will never join anyone else again. I swear here, if..."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Beiran waved his hand, interrupted Zhu Shangzhen's words and said: "Don't talk so much, learn to leave a way out for yourself."
"...Yes, this junior has learned a lesson."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran took out a stack of talisman papers from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to him: "I will send you out now. After you finish handling the things you need to deal with, just fold the talisman papers into paper kites and give them to me."
Zhu Shangzhen actually didn't want to go out now. He wanted to stay here and discover more of the magic of the black-robed seniors. But now the seniors had given orders, and he did have some things to deal with, so he agreed.
"Yes, junior, I obey."
…
After a stick of incense, Zhu Shangzhen, who was already standing outside the formation, could not calm down for a long time.
It was the way his senior sent him off to battle that really shocked him.
'This must be an opportunity given to me by God, I must seize it!'
After clenching his fists, Zhu Shangzhen flew into the air to confirm his position before flying towards the south.
Returning to An Mingqiongqi's lair, Jiang Beiran was about to go upstairs when he saw Shi Fenglan running down and shouting: "Xiao Beiran, Xiao Beiran, the cocoons are moving again! This time the movement is particularly loud!"
"
"knew."
Jiang Beiran agreed and walked down the slope to the second floor. He heard the movement inside before entering the cave.
Walking into the cave, Jiang Beiran found that the huge silkworm cocoon was already covered with cracks, and it could be seen that the cocoon was not far away from breaking out.
Taking a step forward, Jiang Beiran used his mental power to examine Qu Yangze in the cocoon.
'Um?'
With a sound of surprise in his heart, Jiang Beiran discovered that Lao Wang, who originally lived in the heart with the emperor Gu, had actually moved out and lived in the lungs closest to the heart. Of course, the king Gu that originally lived in the lungs was naturally moved by
Lao Wang drove him out.
‘Is this to let the Emperor Gu enjoy the nourishment exclusively? It’s really a great love.’
After sighing, Jiang Beiran checked the other organs again and found that there were no major changes. Everything should be back on track, otherwise Qu Yangze would not be able to break out of the cocoon.
At this time, An Mingqiongqi, who heard the noise, also ran up. When he saw the cracked cocoon, he turned to Jiang Beiran and asked, "When the cocoon breaks, are you going to leave?"
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded.
"I flipped the coin."
"Oh? What's the result?"
After hearing this, An Mingqiongqi turned around and said with a serious face: "I want to ask you for a favor."
"Tell me."
"I would like to ask you to go out and help us see if there is a suitable place for us to live. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to live alone."
There is nothing wrong with An Mingqiongqi's concerns.
Based on their cultivation, if they were in Sheng State, they would definitely be walking sideways, but in Zeng State, these strange beasts are simply moving treasures, and they would be skinned and torn apart by cultivators attracted by the "scent" in minutes.
.
Before Jiang Beiran could answer, An Mingqiongqi spoke again: "Of course, this favor won't be in vain. This is the reward."
After An Mingqiongqi finished speaking, he rolled up a crystal clear round stone with his tail and placed it in front of Jiang Beiran, "This is something in my body. I don't know what it is called, but you humans seem to like it."
After taking the round stone, Jiang Beiran glanced at Ming Mingqiong and said curiously: "Did you dig it out of your body?"
"Well, if you want more, I can dig another one."
"..."
‘You are a stone! Just dig it when you say it!?’
After vomiting, Jiang Beiran used his mental power to examine An Ming Qiongqi's body, but he really didn't know much about the body structure of the alien beasts, so even if he saw it clearly, he didn't know what An Ming Qiongqi had dug out.
Which part of the round stone is it?
'Good guy, this is where I hit a blind spot in my knowledge.'
Jiang Beiran looked carefully for a long time but could not match this round stone with any of the treasures on the rare treasure spectrum.
But the spiritual energy contained in this round stone would not lie. He believed that this round stone would be very useful whether it was used to make elixirs or make magic weapons.
"It's not difficult to find out where you want to live. This is enough."
After hearing this, An Mingqiongqi withdrew the paw that was about to dig out his chest, nodded his huge head towards Jiang Beiran and said, "Thank you, friendly strong human being."
Putting the round stone into the Qiankun Ring, Jiang Beiran said: "So you still want to get out, right?"
"Well, I want to help eldest brother fulfill his unfinished wish."
"I can tell you admire your big brother very much."
"Of course, big brother is the most powerful beast I have ever seen, and he has taught me many things, and... and..."
As An Mingqiongqi spoke, his mind could not help but recall the last conversation between his elder brother and him, as well as the figure who rushed towards the human camp without hesitation.
"Woo..."
After thinking about it, An Mingqiongqi couldn't help but let out a wail. After hearing this, Shi Fenglan quickly came over and rubbed its big head. Although she couldn't understand what it said to Xiao Beiran, she could feel the strangeness.
