Seeing Jiang Beiran's puzzled expression, Venerable Wuxiang couldn't help but said: "You don't have to pretend in front of me."
"Pretending? I'm not pretending."
Seeing Jiang Beiran's stern expression, Venerable Wuxiang felt that he didn't seem to be lying to him.
"You... didn't come out of the Five Monsters and Three Heavens?"
Hearing this familiar name again, Jiang Beiran shook his head and said: "I heard it from many people, but I really don't know where these five monsters and three heavenly beings are."
Venerable Wuxiang looked at Jiang Beiran for a while and then said: "Jiang Beiran, I am honest with you. Don't hide everything from me."
"I can't guarantee anything else, but I certainly didn't hide it from you on this matter."
"..."
Listening to Jiang Beiran's answer, Venerable Wuxiang was a little confused for a moment whether he should feel relieved or not.
"We are now considered to be lifelong friends. Shouldn't you be more honest with me?"
"In front of His Holiness, it is very difficult for me, even if I want to be honest, to be honest. Although it is not what I want, the person who knows my most secrets now is you, Your Holiness."
After hearing this, Venerable Wuxiang felt inexplicably happy. He pointed outside and said, "Do you know more than that little girl named Shi?"
"nature."
"Okay, then I'll believe your story, but it's really surprising. I thought you must have come from somewhere among the Five Monsters and the Three Heavens."
"So what kind of place are these Five Monsters and Three Heavens?"
"How should I put it? It's a place where a bunch of weirdos gather."
"How weird is that?"
"I'm almost as weird as you, no, probably not as weird as you."
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Ha!" Seeing that his ridicule was taken as a tonic by Jiang Beiran, Venerable Wuxiang could only continue angrily: "Five Monsters and Three Heavens Jue are just like its name. They are eight secret realms, and each one is
It is a place with abundant spiritual energy and many secret treasures, and there are probably two types of people who can live here."
"One type is the ultimate master who doesn't like to interfere in worldly affairs. It can also be said that there are some mysterious saints who know how to retreat all day long. However, because their cultivation is so strong, few people bother them or fight without the sense of humor.
They have territorial ideas.”
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but ask: "So one person occupies a secret realm?"
"That's not true. Occasionally, these strong men will go out to travel the mainland when they feel like it, and then grab a few talented young geniuses to go back and become their apprentices."
‘The word “grasp” is very cleverly used...'
"What about another category?"
"There is another type who is almost like you. They have extremely high mystical skills and are unwilling to interfere in the affairs between sects. They hide in these secret realms and sign contracts with some xuansheng. Most of them
No one will disturb them."
Jiang Beiran nodded after hearing this, and he could probably figure out what was going on.
The content of the contract is probably that these Xuan Yi masters hidden in the secret realm regularly provide some magic weapons to those Xuan Sages in exchange for peace.
To put it simply, it means paying protection fees.
"These Xuan Art Masters will also regularly recruit some young people with extremely high talents in Xuan Art to study in secret realms. And the Xuan Art Masters who come out of these secret realms also have unique skills, and because they have been studying in secret realms
Because of their cultivation, I had never heard of them before they showed their abilities for the first time."
Speaking of this, Venerable Wuxiang raised his fingers to Jiang Beiran and said, "Look, you have special skills in Xuanyi and don't like to interfere in the affairs of the sect. If you don't make a sound, you have become a blockbuster. You can say that you have mastered all three of these things."
Yes, you said you are not from these places, but you are from these places."
"But I'm really not."
"Okay, actually I have thought before that you might not come from these eight places, because your abilities are much more powerful than these hidden weirdos, but I really don't understand where you came from.
, it’s too powerful.”
Lord Wuxiang had already known from Xia Lingdang's perspective that Jiang Beiran was almost omnipotent in Xuan Arts. He could be said to be the number one person in Xuanlong Continent just for this point. However, the last time he fought with that Gu King, she was still able to defeat him through Jie Jue.
It was discovered that Jiang Beiran's strength was not as weak as that of a Qi practitioner on the surface, and his physical strength was simply frightening.
Moreover, this kind of physical strength is completely different from physical cultivation. It is a kind of power that cannot be explained.
It is precisely because this kind of power can be superimposed with Xuan Qi that the burst of strength completely suppressed the arrogant Gu King, forcing him to resist them by injuring one thousand enemies and eight hundred to himself.
Jiang Beiran naturally did not intend to be so honest with Venerable Wu Xiang, so he changed the subject and said: "So, Venerable, is the Tianjue Cliff where you are hiding now occupied by the Xuanyi Grandmaster, or is it occupied by some peerless powerful man?
"
"He is a very powerful weirdo. When I first started practicing, he was already in the Xuansheng realm. Now we don't know what realm he has reached."
"Do you know His Holiness?"
"It's not really acquaintance, but I've just heard that Tianjue Cliff is a forbidden area in Ji Kingdom on weekdays. No one dares to go there. This time, I was forced to have no choice but to do so. Fortunately, Senior Gongsun was quite reasonable. After learning that
After the catastrophe in the Ji Kingdom, they still agreed to let us live in the secret realm for the time being."
"Those Gu cultivators didn't come after them?"
"Don't worry, the entrance to the secret realm is not so easy to find. We are still safe now." Having said this, Venerable Wuxiang looked up at Jiang Beiran again, "Originally, I thought we were going to hide in Tianjue Cliff.
For a long time, I didn’t expect that you would kill the king of the Gu clan with just one move. This really surprised me. It was like surviving from a desperate situation. To say the least, I have to thank you for venting your bad breath for us.
"
After saying that, Venerable Wuxiang suddenly let out a sigh of relief, "Actually, I thought that Xuanlong Continent must be over this time, but I didn't expect that the turning point would come to you, Jiang Beiran, what are you?
What’s so sacred about that?”
It can be said that Venerable Wuxiang's emotion came from her heart. She really didn't expect that someone could find hope for mankind in such a desperate situation, and it was a hope that could illuminate everyone.
"Me? A registered disciple of Lanxintang, Guixin Sect of Sheng Kingdom."
Upon hearing Jiang Beiran's answer, Venerable Wuxiang couldn't help but roll his eyes and did not continue to ask any more questions, but he still murmured.
"Incredible, really incredible."
In fact, it’s no wonder that Venerable Wu Xiang would lament to this point. Jiang Beiran could only say “YYDS of the system” to such a desperate comeback.
Thinking of the heaven-level option when he met Xia Lingdang, Jiang Beiran really wanted to break his head at that time but could not have imagined that she would become the last resort of this Gu clan crisis.
Judging from the strength shown by that Gu King in the end, if Venerable Wuxiang had not helped him and shared Xuansheng's cultivation with him, he would have been shattered into pieces in a matter of minutes.
This difficulty is indeed worthy of the heaven-level option.
Thinking of this, Jiang Beiran asked: "Speaking of which, Venerable, why did you use the identity of Xia Lingdang to contact me in the first place?"
Hearing Jiang Beiran finally ask this question, Venerable Wuxiang raised the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to whet Jiang Beiran's appetite as planned, he suddenly remembered what she had seen from Xia Lingdang's perspective.
'Well, forget it, there's nothing that really interests him.'
Venerable Wu Xiang believed that as long as he expressed his intention not to say anything, Jiang Beiran would not ask further and would never mention it again in the future.
It's as if he doesn't know what curiosity is at all.
So Venerable Wuxiang stopped trying to tease Jiang Beiran and replied: "You should first think about what you have done before that that ordinary people can't understand."
"What's up?"
"Obviously it's just a matter of Qi training, but you refused the opportunity to become a disciple of Xuan Sheng. Do you think this is something a normal practitioner would do?"
"It seems that His Holiness has never been rejected?"
"Of course." Venerable Wuxiang took a breath, "I have always been the only one who has turned others away. No one has ever been able to reject me, let alone someone who has no talent for practicing Qi. Of course, now I understand
What's going on?"
"So, just out of curiosity?"
"Otherwise? Do you think I would have thought about what I could get from a young Qi-training disciple at the beginning? But what happened afterwards was indeed beyond my expectation. Your ability is indeed beyond my imagination.
, but speaking of this, I also have a question to ask you."
"what is the problem."
"I have seen that you are wary of most people, especially strangers, but why did you accept Xia Lingdang? You even let Xia Lingdang stay with you."
Regarding this point, Venerable Wuxiang can be said to be quite curious. Through Xia Lingdang's perspective, she has seen Jiang Beiran refuse people thousands of miles away countless times, and he has obviously formed a habit of living alone.
There are only a handful of people who can get close to him, and these people have been observed for a long time and have gone through many tests before being taken under Jiang Beiran's command.
But Xia Lingdang was able to stay with him without experiencing any test, which was really strange.
"I just felt a little uneasy, so I took it with me."
'Can't worry...'
Upon hearing Jiang Beiran's answer, Venerable Wuxiang was a little stunned.
In fact, Xia Lingdang is her original appearance, and it is precisely because of this appearance that she is not welcomed wherever she goes.
Whether it's joining the sect, looking for a master, asking a senior brother for help...
No matter what she does, she will be treated strangely by others, as if every request she makes is a joke.
Gradually, Venerable Wuxiang understood that she could only rely on herself, and she would get nothing but ridicule and ridicule from others.
But Jiang Bei was different. When they met for the first time, Venerable Wuxiang noticed that the way he looked at him was no different from when he looked at others.
This was the first time that Venerable Wuxiang felt this kind of experience.
It's not that everyone who meets her will ridicule her, but when others see her for the first time, even the most educated people can't hide the surprise in their eyes.
But Jiang Beiran really didn't feel anything at all. Whether he was surprised or disgusted, there was no trace of this feeling in his eyes.
This is why Lord Wuxiang is very happy to let Xia Lingdang, the clone, always follow Jiang Beiran.
Now that he heard the reason why Jiang Beiran was willing to accept Xia Lingdang, Venerable Wuxiang was undoubtedly shocked in his heart.
It was as if his miserable childhood had been redeemed across the long river of time.
'So...does anyone in this world really care about me?'
"Thanks."
Listening to Venerable Wuxiang's sudden thanks, Jiang Beiran shrugged and said, "But it turns out that I'm not very good at judging people."
"I apologize if this made you unhappy."
Seeing Venerable Wuxiang's sincere apology, Jiang Beiran became confused, feeling that this matter had some special meaning to Venerable Wuxiang.
Just when Venerable Wuxiang was about to say something else, her expression was suddenly startled, and then she said: "Someone is looking for me over there. Let's end our conversation today."
The side that Venerable Wuxiang mentioned was naturally the true body, but just before she was about to turn her consciousness back, she suddenly looked at Jiang Beiran and said: "I will tell everyone about Tongguo, okay?"
"certainly."
"Okay, let me know when you are ready to come, and I will bring our people to cooperate with you inside and outside."
"no problem."
"See you next time, the omnipotent Master Jiang."
Seeing Xia Lingdang's confused look again, Jiang Beiran patted her shoulder and said, "Go and rest."
"It's... the master's house."
…
After leaving Feifu, Jiang Beiran came to Jingzhe Tower and found that the place was brightly lit, and there were many Xuanyi masters working hard to improve the performance of various "anti-miasma magic weapons" inside.
After Jiang Beiran walked in, all the Xuan Yi masters looked at him. Just as he was about to speak, they saw Jiang Beiran pressing down on them.
"I have some important things to do. If you have any questions, please ask them later."
Seeing that Jiang Beiran issued an "expulsion order", several ninth-level masters had no choice but to swallow the words that came to their lips.
Walking straight into the alchemy room, Jiang Beiran found Yao Yichen and Bu Jingyun discussing something inside.
Seeing Jiang Beiran coming, the two of them cupped their hands at the same time and said: "Master Jiang."
Jiang Beiran returned a salute to the two of them, and then walked to the dispensing table.
From the conversation with Venerable Wuxiang just now, Jiang Beiran's biggest gain is undoubtedly his understanding of the function of Earth-level Purple Spirit Pill.
So to draw inferences, since the Earth-level Purple Spirit Pill can solve the problem of "resurrection sequelae" on the body, are there other Earth-level pills that can solve the problem of spiritual consciousness?
Whether it is to increase the probability of awakening spiritual consciousness or to reduce the probability of madness, it is very useful.
It's just that the earth-level purple elixir was completely refined by chance. It's not easy to refine another earth-level elixir with completely different effects.
"Master Jiang wants to refine new medicine?"
Seeing Jiang Beiran standing in front of the dispensing table, deep in thought, Yao Yichen walked over curiously and asked.
Jiang Beiran nodded, then looked at Yao Yichen and asked.
"Can Senior Yao refine a spiritual elixir of earth-level quality?"
