Like a frightened little rabbit, Liu Weining tightly grabbed the hem of Jiang Beiran's clothes, with fear written all over her little face.
'What did Shi Weiyi do to this little silly girl to scare her like this?'
But considering Shi Weiyi's status, there is no way he would attack a little girl like Liu Weining and lose his status. It is estimated that some adult in the Liu family was tricked by Shi Weiyi, so he left it in Liu Weining's young mind.
It's cast a shadow.
Dragging Liu Weining to the back of Yunling Pavilion, Jiang Beiran discovered that the Tianxiang Room was just as Pavilion Master Wan said, the space was quite large. It could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, let alone dozens of people.
Shi Weiyi was obviously very satisfied after reading it. He nodded and said, "Then please trouble Master Wan to decorate and clean it up a little bit."
"Okay." Wan Herong bowed his hands and retreated.
Looking back at Jiang Beiran, Shi Weiyi said: "Don't worry, Beiran, as long as you help me win this competition, the Shi family will never treat you badly."
'Haha, old guy, even the verbal reward won't be specific.'
After cursing secretly, Jiang Beiran raised his middle finger towards Shi Weiyi.
Looking at Jiang Beiran's suddenly stretched out middle finger, Shi Weiyi was obviously a little confused, "I wonder what Beiran means?"
Jiang Beiran replied with a smile: "The five elements of the middle finger belong to fire, and among the five fingers, I represent myself. The so-called power of my life is here. I swear with the middle finger, which means that I will do my best and do my best."
Shi Weiyi nodded after listening, "So that's it. He is indeed a master of formations. His way of expression is different from ordinary people."
"It's just some industry knowledge, not worth a penny."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he put down his middle finger and looked out the door.
Shi Mansion should be protected by a large formation, so the miasma has not swallowed up the place, and the air outside is still very fresh.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Beiran almost forgot about the miasma.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's eyes looking into the distance, Shi Weiyi asked, "Are you worried about the miasma?"
"Aren't the saints worried?"
"If worrying is useful, then I don't have to summon you. You can just stay in the room and frown."
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly after hearing this, "Sages indeed have great wisdom."
"Hoo ho ho, this is not a great wisdom. It's because you are so young, but you always seem to see through the world, that you have realized the Tao so early."
"The sages are ridiculously praised. The younger generation thinks that it is inevitable to be vulgar, otherwise there is no need to enter the world and experience it."
Hearing the word "joining the world", Shi Weiyi couldn't help but glance at Jiang Beiran, and began to think about Jiang Beiran's background.
And this was Jiang Beiran's deliberate move. After all, things like human design still need to be maintained from time to time. It would be much better to do it accidentally every now and then than to just pretend all the time.
After sighing, Jiang Beiran acted as if he didn't want to talk about it and changed the subject: "I wonder how much trouble this miasma has caused to the Shi family?"
"Even you are here, how big a problem do you think this is?"
"Does the sage know where this miasma comes from?"
Shaking his head, Shi Weiyi replied: "Now everyone is confused and trying to find out."
Seeing that Shi Weiyi didn't seem to want to tell him too much, Jiang Beiran didn't ask further. When one day he wanted to speak, he would naturally say it, and it didn't matter whether he wanted to or not.
.
However, Jiang Beiran always had a doubt in his heart.
It stands to reason that since the situation has become so serious, so many high-level officials from Tong State can still have a calm meeting here.
That’s not to say that it’s wrong to hold a meeting. After all, if you don’t hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures first, everyone will be working on their own affairs and their efforts will not be able to be used in one place.
It’s just that there are so many people having a meeting here, so who is fending off the enemy outside?
"Could it be... Xuansheng?"
As soon as this idea came up, Jiang Beiran felt that it should be right.
After all, he did not see Shi Hongyun, the clan saint, in the meeting of giants. In addition, the only person with a relatively high status in the entire meeting hall was the old man known as the Immortal Lord.
In other words, in the entire meeting hall, the old man known as the Immortal Lord should be the only one who is in the Xuansheng realm and is responsible for presiding over the meeting. Otherwise, no one at the table will obey anyone else, and it will be difficult for the meeting to continue.
The more Jiang Beiran thought about it, the more he thought it was okay.
Those who could fight went out to fend off the enemy, while the smart minds gathered together to find a way to solve this crisis from the source.
"Xiao Beiran! I'm back!"
After about a stick of incense, Shi Fenglan rushed into the Tianxiang room with a group of friends.
There are also many familiar faces from Jiang Beiran, such as Shi Jiamu and Shi Yutong.
When they heard that Jiang Beiran was going to compete with others, they immediately joined Shi Fenglan's "cheerleading team", which was quite positive.
In addition to them, almost all the other members of the "cheerleading team" are girls, and they are probably juniors of the clan, otherwise they would not be qualified to enter this place.
"It turns out that this is the master of Xuan Yi from Linglongfang who controls the sea and the sky. He is so young."
"And she's still pretty good-looking."
"You know it looks good, can you look at the inner meaning more?"
"Tch, don't look at it then. I just like to look at good-looking people. It's none of your business."
"vulgar."
"hypocritical!"
…
When all the girls were arguing, Shi Jiamu quietly walked up to Jiang Beiran and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, why are you so high-profile this time? It's not like you."
"In the adult world, there are so many things you can't help yourself with."
After listening to this, Shi Jiamu looked thoughtful and lamented that what the uncle said was always so philosophical.
Shi Yutong was a little uncharacteristic this time. She did not take the initiative to talk to Jiang Beiran, but stood aside and watched from a distance.
Although she has heard many legends about Jiang Beiran, she has never seen with her own eyes how powerful he is, so she is looking forward to it today.
With the "cheerleaders" in place, the contestants also began to enter the venue one after another.
Moreover, it was not the attendants or guards who led the big guys in, but the junior members of the family. After all, this place is considered a forbidden area of the Shi family. You still have to keep an eye on these guests, otherwise it would be bad if you get lost.
.
Seeing the people coming, Shi Weiyi patted Jiang Beiran's shoulder and stood up to greet them, while Jiang Beiran was observing the guests brought by these people.
There were some old and young among these guests, but most of them were in their sixties. Shi Weiyi was probably considered a junior in front of them.
But just from the smell on their bodies, Jiang Beiran could tell that these people had been immersed in alchemy for a long time.
'They are all old-timers.'
The reason why Jiang Beiran did not stay in Sheng Kingdom to study the antidote was because he might be able to find more high-quality pharmacists in the Shi family to communicate and discuss with each other. After all, this miasma is indeed a bit tricky, with multiple teammates and multiple ideas.
However, as soon as he arrived, Shi Weiyi gave him a surprise. Originally, he wanted to chat with Linglongfang’s Master Wan and some of the more powerful doctors. Now it was better. Shi Weiyi directly helped him with the entire Tong
All the country’s masters in alchemy were invited.
It can be said that it is done in one step.
After a while, all the big shots who had just made a bet with Shi Weiyi arrived. At the same time, other big shots in the meeting hall also arrived one after another, looking like I was determined to take this deal.
Naturally, this included the Immortal Lord.
The Immortal Lord is indeed very proud. Even before he arrived, the people sitting there were deliberately left out. This made Jiang Beiran more and more certain that this person should be Xuan Sheng.
"Old ghost Shi, everyone who is supposed to be here has arrived, how do you plan to compete?"
At this time, the middle-aged man who first jumped out to challenge Shi Weiyi in the conference hall shouted.
The two of them were obviously old acquaintances. Shi Weiyi turned around and said: "Fang Toou, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. Since you want to be the first, you should go first."
"I'll come first, I'll come first." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he looked at an old man behind him and said, "Master, it depends on your performance this time."
The old man nodded after listening.
"So what is the comparison?" The middle-aged man looked at Shi Weiyi and asked.
Shi Weiyi looked at Jiang Beiran and threw the question to him.
Jiang Beiran had no choice but to take a step forward. Just as he was about to speak, the system options popped up.
[Option 1: Hand over to the old man and say: "Why don't we let the seniors come up with the questions." Completion reward: Shanhaiminglu (prefecture-level mid-level)]
[Option 2: "Respect the old and love the young. Whatever you are good at, senior, I will accompany you." Completion reward: Wuding Secret Map (prefecture-level low-grade)]
[Option 3: "Compete one by one? When will the competition take place? Why don't you all compete together." Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
‘?’
'Why are you just pretending?'
These three options really showed off to Jiang Beiran, and the system suddenly changed its low-key route and started to pretend.
Moreover, the bigger it is, the safer it is. Jiang Beiran didn't understand the truth.
'Does this mean that I will suppress everyone as soon as I take action?'
Jiang Beiran thought about it and came up with this one reason. After all, the system has made its attitude clear from the beginning. If he is to be relied upon to save the world this time, it will definitely not work to keep a low profile.
Jiang Beiran, who wanted to understand the meaning, chose three, stretched out grandly, looked around and said, "Compete one by one? When will the competition be held? Why don't you all join in together?"
Obviously, these words confused everyone. People in the Shi family who were familiar with Jiang Beiran were shocked by the contrast, while those who didn't know Jiang Beiran had not seen their junior in front of them for a long time.
I was so crazy that I couldn't react for a while.
"Good! What a arrogant brat!"
The first person to react was the square-headed man, who continued angrily: "As expected of the people taught by Old Ghost Shi, they are indeed of the same blood."
Then the other big guys reacted one after another and directly released their coercion, intending to teach this domineering young man a lesson.
But this time, before Jiang Beiran could resist, Shi Weiyi stood in front of him to block the wave of pressure and said with a smile: "We have agreed to make alchemy, what are you going to do?"
"You are a little rude, I'm just going to teach you a lesson." An old man holding a folding fan said.
Shi Weiyi curled his lips towards the old man and said with a smile: "First of all, I don't think there is anything rude about him. Secondly, even if he is really rude, it's not your turn to teach him a lesson, right?"
Without waiting for the person opposite to reply, Jiang Beiran took the initiative to bypass Shi Weiyi and took a step forward: "Seniors, please don't misunderstand me. I just think that your time is precious. It's really not worth wasting it on this boring competition. Why not It’s better to let it end as soon as possible.”
After Jiang Beiran said that, he took out the Golden Crow Cauldron from the Qiankun Ring and smashed it on the ground.
Upon hearing the loud "dang" sound, everyone's attention was attracted.
Since the system's intention is to handle things with a high profile, Jiang Beiran will never hide it and strive to achieve the effect of shocking everyone with his skills.
"What a tripod!"
For a moment, several alchemists spoke out at the same time.
As alchemists, they could be said to have dealt with medicinal cauldrons all their lives, so just by looking at it, they knew that Jiang Beiran's cauldron was no ordinary product.
One of the old men walked out of the crowd and said to Jiang Beiran: "I, Cheng Hanqiu, have been practicing alchemy for more than sixty years, and this is the first time I have seen such a good cauldron. I wonder if this young master can let me get closer and take a look. enjoy to the full."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran smiled and said: "Senior Cheng is a knowledgeable person, so please come forward and take a look, and I will explain the benefits of this cauldron to you in detail."
"Thank you!" Cheng Hanqiu cupped his hands towards Jiangbei and immediately walked forward quickly, ignoring the middle-aged man beside him who kept winking at him.
After all, for the alchemist, this alchemy furnace is the one who eats. It can be said that he is closer than his own mother-in-law. Moreover, they are all guests, not to mention they are on an equal footing with these senior officials, and there is no need to act based on their faces.
"This...could it really be the Golden Crow Cauldron?" Cheng Hanqiu asked in surprise after carefully looking at the Golden Crow Cauldron for a while.
In fact, when Jiang Beiran just smashed the tripod on the ground, he had already faintly recognized that it was one of the legendary Nine Cauldrons. It was just because there were many differences from what was recorded in the book that he did not dare to recognize it. Now he was getting closer. Only then was it confirmed that this cauldron was indeed the Golden Crow Cauldron, but it had indeed undergone many changes.
As soon as they heard the words "Golden Crow Cauldron", the remaining alchemists couldn't sit still. They all stood up and gathered around Jiang Beiran, exclaiming in wonder.
At this scene, Shi Weiyi smiled instantly. He looked at the big bosses who looked a little ugly, and the expression on their faces seemed to say: "Look at your guest ministers who have never seen the world."
The reason why the scene turned out to be like this is also very simple. Although the legend of the Nine Cauldrons has been circulating on the Xuanlong Continent, most of them were buried like the Golden Crow Cauldron and no one has discovered them yet.
If the current Dan King did not possess one of them, everyone would have regarded the legend of Jiuding as a story.
So when they heard that this was the Golden Crow Cauldron among the Nine Cauldrons, they were not willing to miss such a precious opportunity just to save face.
At this time, Fang Touou was the first to be unable to bear it any longer and shouted loudly: "Today is a competition to test the ability of elixir refining, not a competition of cauldrons!"
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran smiled and replied: "I didn't plan to compete with the tripod in the first place, but the seniors wanted to take a closer look. Am I not allowed to do it?"
