At Xu's hour, Jiang Beiran, who had left Shuijingtang reluctantly while Shi Fenglan was reluctant to leave, went straight back to the back mountain. On the way, he heard the sound of a flute from far away.
So Jiang Beiran quickened his pace and arrived outside the formation he had set up.
"It's Qing Huan who's back." When he saw the flute player at the door, Jiang Beiran smiled and said hello.
Hearing the voice of senior brother, Gu Qinghuan put down the jade flute, turned around and saluted Jiang Beiran respectfully: "Greetings to senior brother."
"Let's go up and talk later."
Taking Gu Qinghuan back to Zizhuyuan, Jiang Beiran first poured two glasses of Moonlight White, put one glass in front of Gu Qinghuan and said, "Did the trip go well?"
"Thank you, senior brother." Taking the tea cup with both hands, Gu Qinghuan put down the big box behind his back and said, "Thank you, senior brother, I brought back everything you asked for."
"Everything on the list?"
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan nodded.
"Very good, you are still as outstanding as ever." Jiang Beiran said with great satisfaction.
Gu Qinghuan was a new disciple that Jiang Beiran took when he was the Iron Seal three years ago. During the process of getting to know him, Jiang Beiran found out that he was neither a second generation nor an extremely talented person. He was picked into the sect just like himself.
Later, during the trial, he admired Gu Qinghuan's alertness and calmness very much. Even if he was away for something, Gu Qinghuan could well assume the responsibility of the temporary captain.
This made Jiang Beiran think about taking him as his right-hand man. This was the first time Jiang Beiran had taken the initiative to do this.
Later, Gu Qinghuan passed various tests secretly arranged by Jiang Beiran very smoothly, and more importantly, the system did not have any disadvantageous options after accepting him as a helper.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Beiran showed his cards to him, told him part of his strength and plan, and asked him if he wanted to follow him.
Gu Qinghuan was also very happy and paid homage to Jiang Beiran on the spot without saying a word.
This made Jiang Beiran more and more satisfied, because he knew that a smart person like Gu Qinghuan must be observing him secretly, but he did not say it out loud, nor did he have any eloquent words to show his ability. He simply said, "Brother, please invite me."
Take more care of me."
Jiang Beiran admires people who can hide their intelligence in their hearts and not show it on the surface.
The task of collecting natural materials and treasures in the wild, which requires force, has been assigned to Wu Qingce. The task given by Jiang Beiran to Gu Qinghuan is to replace the idle or unnecessary things in his hands with useful ones through transactions.
The remuneration is the same as Wu Qingce's, Jiang Beiran will tailor weapons, armor and elixirs for him.
In the next three years, Gu Qinghuan performed as well as Jiang Beiran imagined. He could not help but complete the tasks assigned to him by Jiang Beiran every time. At the same time, he also used the resources Jiang Beiran gave him to accumulate a lot of wealth in the sect.
He has built up a strong network of contacts and established a huge trading network.
Carrying the box that Gu Qinghuan put on the ground, Jiang Beiran waved to him and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see a good place."
After climbing two hills, Jiang Beiran brought Gu Qinghuan to the new training place he got from the hall master.
"I have already set up the formation and planted the purple bamboos. If you want to practice then, just come here."
Looking at the hut and yard that were built in front of him, Gu Qinghuan turned around happily and saluted Jiang Beiran: "Thank you so much, senior brother."
I have to say that God is always fair. Although Gu Qinghuan is far wiser and more mature than his peers, he is far behind in terms of cultivation.
Three years later, he was only at the second level of the Mysterious Master. Although his progress was not slow, it was just average. With such qualifications, it would be difficult for him to apply for the Houshan Cultivation Ground.
But Gu Qinghuan is a very strong person. Although he is not very talented, he still works very hard. He has been practicing hard while completing the various tasks given to him by Jiang Beiran.
Now that he finally got the training place he had dreamed of, he was extremely excited.
"Of course, you also have to take the responsibility of taking care of them." Jiang Beiran said, taking out a black jar from the box and opening the lid. Inside was a palm-sized ghost-faced spider with gray fur.
The ghost-faced spider that regained its sight immediately crawled out along Jiang Beiran's hand and bit Jiang Beiran's arm.
However, no matter how hard it tried, its teeth could not break through Jiang Beiran's skin. Unwilling to give up, he was about to continue using force when he suddenly felt himself rising into the air and reaching mid-air.
"Tsk, tsk, you're not good, I didn't do anything to you, why are you biting me?"
Naturally, the Ghost-faced Spider couldn't understand what Jiang Beiran was talking about, and kept waving its eight legs and a pair of chelicerae in the air.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. Come on, let me see what you are like." Jiang Beiran said while placing it in the palm of his hand and observing it carefully.
"Hmm... It's about 12 centimeters long. It should be a male. The cephalothorax is shorter than the abdomen..." Jiang Beiran said, stretching out his hand to peel off the down on the abdomen of the spider, "Well, it's dark brown, not bad, it's the more poisonous kind.
.”
Jiang Beiran then turned the Ghost-faced Spider over and looked at its back, and found that there was a layer of breastplate under the down, which meant that it had at least a first-level strength.
The Ghost-Faced Spider, which was being tossed around by Jiang Beiran, became a little anxious. Its eight single eyes were spinning around, and soon it found an opportunity to turn over and sprayed spider silk at Jiang Beiran with all its strength.
But Jiang Beiran, who had already expected this to happen, grabbed the spider silk with his right hand.
"That's it? It's not sticky enough. It's not even close to average. It seems it can't be used to make utensils." Rubbing his fingers, Jiang Beiran said very disappointedly.
When Gu Qinghuan, who was feeling the spiritual energy here, heard his senior brother say that this spider was not good, he quickly raised his hands and said, "I'm sorry, senior brother, I will definitely choose more carefully next time."
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Jiang Beiran waved his hand towards Gu Qinghuan, "This ghost-faced spider looks good, and its poison should be very potent. As for the spider silk, it is just a supplement, so it doesn't matter if it doesn't work."
Although the Ghost-Faced Spider couldn't understand what Jiang Beiran was saying, it still felt very unhappy, so it bit Jiang Beiran's index finger hard again.
However, the result was still the same, it couldn't even bite through the skin.
After initially observing the Ghost-Faced Spider, Jiang Beiran knelt down and placed it on the ground.
The ghost-faced spider suddenly gained freedom, no matter why, it pulled up its eight legs and ran towards the grass next to it. However, just when it was about to burrow into the grass, a big hand fell from the sky and caught it in mid-air.
"The speed is pretty good and can be used for sneak attacks."
The spider's legs do not have any muscles, but are filled with a liquid. The spider can adjust the pressure of this liquid at any time to control the movement of its eight legs, so it can move forward and backward freely on the web.
If there was physics in this world, Jiang Beiran would tell them that this is called hydraulic transmission.
Whether a spider is fast enough depends entirely on its ability to control pressure. Talent is also very important. Some spiders are born with different liquids in their eight legs than other spiders. The same pressure can allow them to run several times faster.
speed, and the Ghost Faced Spider in Jiang Beiran's hand is obviously such a talented player.
"Not bad, not bad, it still has potential. It will definitely get better if we raise it more."
After saying that, Jiang Beiran put the Ghost-Faced Spider back into the black jar.
