"You are my little apple~ I can never love you too much~"
In the back mountain of Guixin Sect, Jiang Beiran buried each peacock grass seed in the soil in his newly acquired training place.
Just as he was about to sprinkle some more black scale powder into the soil, a small black shadow suddenly flew towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Glancing sideways, Jiang Beiran stretched out an index finger and rested it on his chest.
After a blink of an eye, a silver-gray hummingbird appeared and landed on its index finger.
Skillfully pulling out a rolled up note from Ying's hummingbird feathers, Jiang Beiran pulled it open and found that it was from Wu Qingce.
[The number of strange beasts in the birch forest has reached three.]
'Well, I think it's almost time.'
"giao~giao~"
Just when Jiang Beiran was looking at the note, the hummingbird couldn't wait to open its mouth and sing continuously.
"I know, I know."
In response, Jiang Beiran put the note into the Qiankun Ring, took out a piece of dried Kui snake meat and threw it into the air.
"Giao!"
With a cry, the hummingbird flew into the air at lightning speed and snatched the dried meat away.
After finishing the dried meat in two mouthfuls, the hummingbird flew to Jiang Beiran and called twice to please him.
"One piece at a time." Jiang Beiran said as he took out a small piece of paper and wrote a line of words on it, and stuffed it into the feathers of the hummingbird.
"Giao..." cried out in frustration. Knowing that Jiang Beiran said he would not give more, Ying Hummingbird turned around and flew down the mountain.
As dusk approached, Jiang Beiran left Guixin Sect after making various preparations, and after burning a stick of incense, he came to a small town outside the birch forest.
"Hey, objectively, what would you like to order? The specialty of our shop is the green smoke produced by the Qingfeng Villa next to it. The tea brewed from it is rich and refreshing, fragrant and pleasant, I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
Facing the enthusiastic waiter, Jiang Beiran nodded and said: "I'm looking for a friend, his surname is Liu."
"Oh~" The waiter understood immediately, "The guest is upstairs. I'll take you up. Come on, the floor is dirty. Please be careful where you step when you go."
Looking at the attentiveness of the waiter, Jiang Beiran knew that Wu Qingce must have ordered good tea or given him a reward.
Following the waiter up to the second floor, Jiang Beiran soon saw Wu Qingce sitting by the window.
"Thank you, go and do your work." Jiang Beiran said, taking out two coins from the purse at his waist and handing them to the waiter.
"Thank you, thank you." The waiter who took over his companion was overjoyed. He bowed and returned to the first floor.
Seeing Jiang Beiran walking towards him, Wu Qingce, who was wearing an ordinary Geyi, immediately stood up and shouted: "Brother Wang, you are here, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran sat opposite Wu Qingce.
Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Beiran saw two options pop up in front of him.
[Option 1: Ask directly about the strange beasts. Completion reward: Seven-star Ancient Moon Sword (low-grade Xuan-level)]
[Option 2: Talk about the Guixin Sect. Completion reward: Panlong Silver Mace (yellow-level mid-grade)]
[Option 3: Just talk about ordinary things after dinner. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
‘Is there anyone grabbing food?’
Jiang Beiran originally wanted to ask Wu Qingce which strange beasts he saw entering the forest, but now it seems that there is a "careful person" in the teahouse.
After choosing three, Jiang Beiran said, "Have you heard that there is another disaster in Hedong City?"
Wu Qingce was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said, "What kind of disaster is it?"
"Locust plague, many people are dying. I hope they won't fly towards us."
While chatting, Jiang Beiran scanned the teahouse with his mental power and found that there was a fourth-level Xuan Master sitting on the first floor.
'It's strange. Could it be that this mysterious master also discovered the treasure in the birch forest? It doesn't make sense...'
In confusion, Jiang Beiran and Wu Qingce chatted for about a cup of tea when they heard the system prompt sound.
[Optional mission completed, reward: Agility +1]
He signaled with his eyes to Wu Qingce to change place to chat, and the two of them went downstairs and walked out of the teahouse together.
"You two, go slowly~" the waiter at the door waved enthusiastically and shouted.
Arriving at a deserted pavilion, Jiang Beiran checked that there were no practitioners around and then said, "There is a mysterious master in the teahouse. I don't know if he came to the birch forest."
"Master Xuan" Wu Qingce was a little surprised. After all, the chance of encountering a master Xuan in such a rundown town was not high.
"Well, anyway, please be careful and tell me what's going on in the birch forest first."
"Yes." In response, Wu Qingce replied: "In addition to the previous second-level thunder-marked beast, there was also a second-level evil beast and a second-level blood shadow beast that successively settled in."
'Very good, this hexagram is finally right for once.'
As one of the special skills, Jiang Beiran's [Divination] is actually not too low, but the success rate is not really high. But as long as he calculates it correctly once, he can always get very good results.
"Let's rest for a while, then we'll go into the forest at Haishi."
"Yes!" After Wu Qingce finished speaking, he took out a chessboard from the Qiankun Ring and asked: "Then... senior brother, do you want to come and play two games of chess? Of course, to guide you."
Looking at Wu Qingce's expectant eyes, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, "Okay, then you go first."
"Thank you, senior brother!"
We found an inn and played until late at night. Although he kept losing, he became more and more excited as he played. After clearing the chessboard again, Wu Qingce was about to play again when he felt a hit on his forehead.
"Ouch." Wu Qingce shouted while covering his forehead. He looked at Jiang Beiran with an aggrieved look, his eyes full of confusion.
"If you are too playful and neglect your business, should you be beaten?"
Wu Qingce immediately woke up after hearing this, "Is it already Hai hour? How do I remember that the clock just struck and an hour has passed?"
As soon as Wu Qingce finished speaking, he heard the sound of a gong outside.
"Boom! Boom!"
"The sky is dry and things are dry~Be careful with fire~"
"Senior brother, you are even more accurate than playing..." Wu Qingce was impressed and quickly put the chessboard into the Qiankun Ring.
"Let's go."
Taking advantage of the darkness, Jiang Beiran took Wu Qingce along the gravel path out of the town. Before he had walked a few steps, he saw a system prompt appearing in front of him.
[Option 1: Go directly to the birch forest. Completion reward: Dragon Shape Flexion Technique (Mid-grade Mysterious Level)]
[Option 2: Go to the birch forest when you are ugly. Completion reward: Sharp Fire Sword (yellow-level mid-grade)]
[Option 3: Let Wu Qingce exude mysterious energy. Completion reward: Random basic skill point +1]
'It seems that there was something wrong with that person in the teahouse...'
With a sigh, Jiang Beiran chose three, turned to Wu Qingce and said: "Use Xuan Qi to speed up the journey."
Although he didn't understand his senior brother's intention, Wu Qingce still said "yes" and used the Cloud Rolling Skill to concentrate the profound energy at his feet.
"Walk."
PS: Today I suddenly heard a very philosophical question. Let me ask you, at what age did you realize that you are not as handsome as you?
