Jiang Beiran didn't expect it when he saw that Tang Jingran also joined the simulated cultivation of immortality.
I thought that even if she was not autistic, she would at least have social phobia, but now it seems...she seems to be quite enjoying it.
Although she was still expressionless as she sat there, and her words were precious, it could still be seen that she was playing seriously.
This made Jiang Beiran overturn all his original views on Tang Jingran.
Although she is a dead person, she is a dead person with feelings. She even seems to be... eager to communicate with others?
How to say this.
'Her coldness is just the protective color she wears?'
But think about it, she is a ghost cultivator who needs to hide her identity, and she is still a dead person.
So for self-protection, I have been living in that valley where birds do not lay eggs.
Originally, Jiang Beiran felt strange when Tang Jingran agreed to come out with her so readily.
I thought she had developed a sense of trust in herself, or that she couldn't live without Mo Xia as a source of cultivation.
But now it seems...she just wants to come out for some air, or even make a few friends?
'You really can't look at people just by their superficial appearance...'
'Not even dead people.'
…
The next afternoon, Fei Fu came to an inn in Shipu Town, Luoyun County.
Leaving Fei Mansion and going outside, the three people Jiang Beiran had written to notify before were already here.
"Senior Brother (Master) (Lord)"
Gu Qinghuan, Ju Zimin, and Huo Hongfei saluted Jiang Beiran at the same time.
Nodding towards the three of them, Jiang Beiran looked at Gu Qinghuan and asked, "Has the Shen family's matter been resolved?"
Gu Qinghuan raised his hand and said, "Senior brother, the Shen family's matter has entered the final stage, but for the entire Yunzhou, this matter has just begun."
"Then you don't have to stay at Wen's house to take charge?"
"Leaving appropriately is for better cooperation with the Wen family in the future."
Jiang Beiran couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
‘That’s a fair statement.’
It's probably that someone in the Wen family feels that Gu Qinghuan has too much power, or someone is secretly trying to make things difficult for him.
Just like a group of cats hunting with tigers for a few times, they will feel that they are also tigers. However, the fact is that without the tiger, they will only meow.
Gu Qinghuan left this time just to make the people of the Wen family understand this.
Nodding, Jiang Beiran looked at Huo Hongfei and the others and said, "How is the development in Zeng State?"
After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other first, and then Huo Hongfei cupped his hands and said: "I am still in the stage of recruiting talents."
"Recruiting...what are you going to do?"
"Establish a Chamber of Commerce."
Jiang Beiran was quite surprised when he heard this answer.
"Tell me the details."
"Let the people report this to the Lord. After all, this idea was his."
After hearing this, Ju Zimin raised his hands and said, "No, I just made a suggestion. The actual handling depends entirely on Brother Huo."
But at this time Huo Hongfei had already taken a step back and made a gesture of invitation to the residents.
The residents had no choice but to smile and nod, then cupped their hands towards Jiang Beiran and said: "There are many chambers of commerce in Zeng State, and their influence is even greater than that of the sects. Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold in Zeng State, it is more suitable to be the leader of a guild than to be the head of a sect."
Jiang Beiran once heard from the residents that Zeng Guo was most famous for its trade.
The reason is also very simple, because Zeng Guonai is the strongest among the six countries and can provide strong military protection so that all practitioners can trade in their country with peace of mind.
It's just that things like the Chamber of Commerce...it's really difficult to start from scratch.
However, considering Huo Hongfei's ability to secretly infiltrate the entire Liang State when he was in the Liang State, it was no longer a problem to establish a chamber of commerce with sufficient connections.
"That's right. Now that you have found your own path, keep going."
"Yes!" they both replied at the same time.
'Tsk, I have to say, it feels so good to be able to do something for my little brother.'
Jiang Beiran actually didn't think much about leaving Huo Hongfei in Zeng State. He just thought that returning him to Sheng State was a bit overkill. However, he didn't expect that he would find his own path in such a short period of time and even start to work for him.
took action.
This was so worry-free for Jiang Beiran.
After asking about the current situation of several people, Jiang Beiran waved his hand and brought the three of them back to Fei Mansion, which immediately aroused a new wave of onlookers.
'This person looks so familiar...'
When Mo Xia saw Gu Qinghuan, he felt that he looked very familiar. She should have seen him in Guixin Sect, but she couldn't remember his name.
Li Fucheng immediately went up and saluted Huo Hongfei.
During the operation to conquer the Liang Kingdom, Li Fucheng witnessed the whole process of this man's thunderous methods and his jaw-dropping organizational skills.
It was the first time for the rest of the people to meet each other. After a while of "happy meeting" with each other, Shi Fenglan finally stepped forward.
"In order for everyone to get to know each other quickly, let's play a game together."
…
After all personnel were in place, Feifu arrived at its final destination.
Libai County, Pingzhou, Tongguo.
This is the far north of Tong State, where it is severely cold all day long, especially the Yongshuang Snowfield, which is known as the "cold prison". Many cultivators who enter it never come out again, as if they are forever imprisoned in this place.
In a hell made of ice and snow.
With such a reputation, most practitioners naturally stay away from it, but it is more attractive to adventurers who like excitement and exploration, and such explorers include "ancient book hunters" like Shen Tianhua.
According to the goal given by Shen Tianhua, Shi Fenglan controlled Feifu to find a town built in the ice and snow.
This is a rare supply point in the Everfrost Snowfield, and it is also managed by someone.
After all, as long as there are benefits, no matter how difficult the environment is, there will always be people willing to take risks.
Because most cultivators come here to look for treasures in the name of adventure, this supply point has an exchange with good conditions in all aspects.
Of course, there are also many people who buy and sell privately.
But just when Jiang Beiran was about to leave Fei Mansion, the system option suddenly popped up.
[Option 1: Go out directly. Completion reward: Tianzhe Dragon Step (prefecture-level mid-level)]
[Option 2: Change a place to gather. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
"Tsk"
Jiang Beiran couldn't help but smacked his lips. In such a mixed place, there would be more troubles.
Choosing the second option, Jiang Beiran let Shi Fenglan control Fei Mansion to fly a few miles further.
When he felt that he was far enough away from the supply point, Jiang Beiran took out the talisman and wrote a letter to Xiao Qi.
At this moment, he should be waiting for him at the inn with Shen Tianhua.
After folding the talisman paper into a paper kite and letting it fly, Jiang Beiran unfolded his mental power and began to wait.
After about half a stick of incense, Jiang Beiran's mental power captured a familiar aura.
"Stop."
With a "buzz" sound, Xiao Qi heard Brother Wang's voice clearly, and immediately stopped Shen Tianhua and flew down.
With Jiang Beiran constantly using his spiritual power to guide Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi quickly took Shen Tianhua to find him.
"Brother Wang." Xiao Qi immediately stepped forward and saluted.
Shen Tianhua, who was following behind, quickly saluted and said, "Master Jiang."
[Optional mission completed, reward: Agility +1]
After seeing the prompt that the option was completed, Jiang Beiran looked at Shen Tianhua and ordered.
"Lead the way."
"Okay, master, please come with me." Shen Tianhua immediately made a gesture of invitation and said.
Jiang Beiran originally thought of walking all the way there and observing how dangerous this Everfrost Snowfield was and whether there were any other opportunities.
But before I took a few steps, the system options popped up.
[Option 1: Go southeast. Completion reward: Xuan Yue Spiritual Skill (earth level mid-level)]
[Option 2: Go north. Completion reward: Blood Trail Fantasy Book (prefecture-level low-grade)]
[Option 3: Go northwest. Completion reward: Random basic skill point +1]
'Tsk, you really can't run around in this place.'
After staying in the ancient ruins for a while, Jiang Beiran almost thought that the world had become "cute", but this time the Six Kingdoms immediately became more realistic again.
Although it is good to brush up a wave of attribute points, there are still more options to enter the ancient tomb, so Jiang Beiran chose the third queen and took Xiao Qi and the others far to the northwest, and waited until [option mission has been completed.
After the completion prompt: Reward: Magic Armor +1, Jiang Beiran pulled the two of them into Fei Mansion.
Shen Tianhua had never ridden on such a high-end magic weapon. He was shocked for a while before he started to lead Shi Fenglan.
Then, under Shen Tianhua's precise guidance, Feifu passed through icebergs one after another, passed through deep snow caves one after another, and finally arrived a hundred meters below the ice.
"This is it."
Following Shen Tianhua's words, the scene in the Sky Eye Formation suddenly became clear, and an ancient tomb frozen in ice appeared in front of everyone.
Although it is said to be an ancient tomb, in terms of architectural style, it is actually a quite majestic palace.
There are all kinds of mansions, courtyards, palaces, archways, etc., making it look like a wealthy place.
After arriving at the destination, everyone followed Jiang Beiran and left Fei Mansion, standing at the entrance of the frozen tomb.
Because of Xiao Qi's relationship, the word "Master Jiang's subordinate" has an aura to Shen Tianhua.
So when he saw that Master Jiang had brought so many subordinates this time, Shen Tianhua was already filled with excitement, feeling that each of them had the ability to reach heaven and earth.
'There are nine people as powerful as Mr. Han... there are actually nine more!'
It wasn't like he hadn't thought that Master Jiang couldn't have every one of his subordinates be as powerful as Mr. Han, but he couldn't help it, his temperament was there.
Everyone present had a strong aura. Even the girl dressed as a maid looked very extraordinary. At first glance, she was no ordinary person.
Moreover, Mr. Han was obviously very respectful when he saw them, which shows that the status of these nine subordinates of Master Jiang may even be higher than Mr. Han!
Thinking of this, Shen Tianhua couldn't help but feel short of breath, and his respect for Master Jiang reached a new peak.
'As expected of someone who can become a guest in the Shi family at such a young age, he really has extraordinary abilities!'
After calming down his shock, Shen Tianhua raised his hands towards Jiang Beiran and said, "Master Jiang, there may be someone in the tomb, so please be careful."
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded, indicating that he understood.
This tomb is indeed very deep. Shen Tianhua was able to find it because he had some skills. It would be impossible for passers-by to find it.
So the "someone" he spoke of naturally refers to those colleagues who had robbed ancient books with him.
Although those people handed over the broken pages of the ancient book because of Xiao Qi's relationship, it does not mean that they will not come to this ancient tomb again. It is even possible that they will call the forces behind them to come together.
After using his mental power to sense the surrounding area and finding that there were no other living creatures, Jiang Beiran took the lead and walked towards the entrance.
Although one should first send someone to explore the truth when coming to such a strange place, this ancient tomb is not only strange, but also very dangerous, so working together as a group is the most prudent choice.
'Huh? Why is it still hot?'
As Jiang Beiran walked deeper and deeper, he found that the cold air was gradually disappearing, and it even started to feel a little hot.
It's as if someone suddenly turned the air conditioner from blowing cold air to blowing warm air.
Continuing to walk down a few more steps, Jiang Beiran found a hall in front of him, tens of meters high and hundreds of square meters.
But the strange thing is that the hall is empty, there is nothing.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Beiran's eyes couldn't help but turn to Shen Tianhua.
Of course, Shen Tianhua understood what Jiang Beiran meant when he looked at him, and immediately held up his hands and explained: "When I first came to this ancient tomb, the hall was so empty. The only difference was the ancient book placed in the center of the hall.
"
Jiang Beiran was a little surprised after hearing this, but he still asked calmly: "The ancient books are placed in the center of the hall?"
"Yes." After Shen Tianhua finished speaking, he pointed forward to the center of the hall, "That ancient book was originally placed in the center of the hall."
'and after?'
"We didn't pay too much attention at first. Instead, we searched other locations in the hall, but after finding that there was no longer any passage, we..."
Jiang Beiran understood.
'The co-authorship turned out to be internal strife...'
It is estimated that Shen Tianhua arrived at this ancient tomb in a team with several other fragmented page holders, but after finding that they could not move forward, they all focused on the ancient books.
However, the friendship of this team is also fragile. Normally, shouldn't everyone study this ancient book together and then find a way to continue to delve deeper? What the hell is it?
Refraining from complaining, Jiang Beiran continued to ask: "You mean, after entering this hall, there is no passage to continue in?"
"Yes, this hall has no other exits except this entrance."
"Is there any other information?"
"No more. We found nothing except this ancient book."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran said: "Let's go."
As a result, a group of people walked into the hall in a mighty manner.
"hiss……"
The moment Li Fucheng stepped into the hall, he broke out in a cold sweat, took a breath of cold air and squatted on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Beiran walked to Li Fucheng and used his mental power to protect him and said.
Li Fucheng, who felt much better, took a deep breath, raised his head and said, "I sensed four formations, but I don't know their distribution yet, but I'm sure of one thing."
