"It's not that senior brother doesn't know me. I don't have any lofty ambitions. I just want to be an ordinary disciple in Guixinzong. However, I have practiced Guixin Jue and Yizi swordsmanship well. It's okay to take a few juniors and sisters down the mountain to try it out occasionally. questionable."

"Ah~ you." Shaking his head, Lu Bogui, who knew his temperament as a junior disciple, did not continue to ask, but took out a small cloth bag from his arms and put it in front of Jiang Beiran.

"For you, a birthday present." After speaking, Lu Bogui added with a smile, "although it's a bit late."

Jiang Beiran paused with his hand holding the chopsticks, rubbed his sore nose and said, "Brother, you didn't forget about it when you went down the mountain to practice, but I actually forgot about it myself."

"How could I forget? This year is your 20th birthday. I originally wanted to rush back to spend it with you, but I really couldn't get away."

"Brother..."

Looking at Jiang Beiran's reddened eyes, Lu Bogui put a piece of beef into his bowl, and sighed softly: "Time is so fast, you have been up the mountain for five years in a blink of an eye, and I still remember the first time What did you look like when I saw you, haha."

"Yeah... It's been five years." Jiang Beiran also sighed with great emotion.

Five years ago, he suddenly traveled to this chaotic fantasy world full of sects.

And God didn't seem to intend to give him too much time to prepare mentally, a series of very routine things came to him one after another.

First of all, he is an orphan, and now he is living in his uncle's house, and he has to endure his aunt's white eyes and unscrupulous ridicule every day.

"What? I can't say a word about you yet? You're a freeloader."

"I can keep a dog to guard the door, what's the use of raising you?"

"Hmph, you can't do such a small thing as wiping the floor well. You will definitely be a waste when you grow up, and you have to continue to eat and drink for free at my house."

How could Jiang Beiran bear this? He finally traveled through time to be the protagonist! Why should I be so angry!

So at dinner, he smashed the job bowl in his hand, pointed at the ugly and fat aunt and cursed: "I have never done good things in my 18 lifetimes, so I met you, a shrew like a pig, who looks like a human, Just do some shit, I won't be here with you from today on! Eat shit and go!"

After venting, Jiang Beiran resolutely turned around and ran out of the extremely dilapidated thatched cottage, bidding farewell to the life under the fence.

But after only one night, Jiang Bei was gone, without him, too hungry.

When he ran out, he was so reckless that he didn't even bring a piece of cake, let alone money.

So he was starving and freezing all night. When the sun first rose, he lingered in front of a steamed stuffed bun shop for about 20 minutes, and was finally driven away by the boss with three cadenced "go".

But fortunately, there is no end to the journey of traversers. At dusk, Jiang Beiran had just found a warm corner to sit down, when a benevolent Taoist priest came to him and handed him a fragrant sesame cake. And kindly said to him: "Eat, little guy."

Jiang Beiran was so hungry that he didn't even dare to shirk in his heart. After saying thank you, he grabbed the pancake and gnawed it hard.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, I'll have more after I finish eating." Daochang said as he took out a gourd filled with water and handed it to Jiang Beiran: "Oh, poor child."

"Thank you... Thank you Daoist." After taking a few sips of the gourd, Jiang Beiran burst into tears on the spot, and he didn't know if it was because the cake was too fragrant or the water was too cold.

After eating two cakes in one go, Jiang Beiran, who finally felt alive, thanked the Taoist chief repeatedly.

"You're welcome." The Taoist waved his hand, then asked with a smile, "Do you know why there are so many hungry children on the street, and I'm the only one who will give you cake?"

Jiang Beiran shook his head, "I don't know."

"Because I see your bones are amazing, you are a prodigy in martial arts, within three years, you must be the best among the young generation of my Li Huo Sect!"

The moment the Taoist priest said these words, three options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran's eyes.

[Option 1: Immediately say: "Abbot accepts me as an apprentice". Completion reward: Xuanhuo Kungfu (Yellow-level top grade)]

[Option 2: "I have never seen such an expert Taoist priest, may I ask what kind of place Lihuozong is?" Completion reward: Blazing Fire Knife (Yellow-level middle-grade)]

[Option 3: Tactfully reject the kindness of the Taoist priest. Completion reward: random basic attribute points +1]

'Aha! The system is here! '

Jiang Beiran was so proud that the welfare of the traversers was good! Instant double happiness! Grandpa and the system are all in place.

'Is this the treatment of the protagonist in the legend? It's so cool! '

Then Jiang Beiran began to worry about whether to choose one or two. It seemed that he was a little too eager to choose one, but the rewarded Xuanhuo Kungfu was very suitable for the Lihuozong that the Taoist priest said. The system was specially designed for him.

Choose the second one, you can show that you are very cautious even after flattering the Taoist priest, and the Blazing Fire Knife sounds very suitable for the Lihuo Sect, so it is also a very good choice.

As for the third? Only a fool would choose! Not to mention the benefits of refusing to deliver to the door, and only a little bit of basic attribute rewards, what's the use of a little bit? Not even a consolation prize.

After tangling for a long time, Jiang Beiran still chose one. After all, martial arts sounded more important, and it might make his early cultivation more effective.

"I beg the priest to accept me as an apprentice!" Jiang Beiran immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in the most sincere tone after making his choice.

The Taoist priest smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help Jiang Beiran up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can be my disciple, but you have to pass the trial first."

"Trial?" Jiang Beiran was puzzled for a moment, but immediately said seriously: "I will try my best to pass!"

"Okay!" The Taoist priest nodded in satisfaction, turned around with his sleeves flicked and said, "Then come with me."

"Yes!"

[The option task has been completed, the teacher apprentice task has started, and the reward will be settled after the task is completed.]

[Mission Objective: Become a disciple of the black-robed Taoist priest.]

'Um? Isn't it a reward directly? '

Jiang Beiran thought that he would be rewarded with the Xuanhuo Kung Fu just by shouting "Prayer Master, accept me as an apprentice!", but he didn't expect that it just triggered a task.

'Forget it, it's not bad, it's good to have something to look forward to. Thinking of this, Jiang Beiran took a step to catch up with the Taoist priest.

After two days of hard work, Jiang Beiran finally followed the Taoist priest to the foot of a mountain.

"Beiran, this place is called Ling Maofeng, and this is where you will practice."

Jiang Beiran, who was eating cakes in the back, nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down!"

After getting along for two days, Jiang Beiran had already told the Taoist priest about his running away from home and being unaccompanied. The Taoist priest was also very sympathetic after hearing it. Giving him hot pancakes, and pitching a tent for him when he was sleepy, Jiang Beiran was so moved that he vowed to honor his master after learning the skills!
