"Four of eighteen, pointed."
In the hut, as a sunspot fell from Jiang Beiran's hand, Mo Xia's expression froze completely, and the white stone that had already planned how to play was still unable to land.
Looking at Mo Xia's slightly trembling left hand and clenched fist, Jiang Beiran said, "It's a good idea to want the flames of war on the corner to spread to the whole place, so as to stir up disputes and all-out melee with my Heizi, but... if I If you don't want to fight, then there will be no sparks."
Mo Xia, who understood what the senior brother meant, sighed, lowered her head and said, "I admit defeat..."
With a slight smile, Jiang Beiran sat up straight and asked, "Do you know why your layout can't be successful?"
"Because... because senior brother has seen through me a long time ago." Mo Xia replied with his head bowed.
"No, it's because you want to take advantage of my underestimation of the enemy and plant a trap to wait for me, but you don't know... I have never underestimated you."
Hearing the senior brother's words, Mo Xia slowly raised his head, and slowly let go of his clenched fists.
"Thank you, brother."
Mo Xia gave a deep salute, and then began to tidy up the chessboard.
"Have you been practicing hard recently?" Jiang Beiran asked casually.
After hearing this, Mo Xia replied with a serious face: "Brother, I now devote five hours to practice every day."
"Is there a bottleneck?"
Mo Xia shook his head, and replied, "My cultivation base is still very low, so I can't say that I have encountered a bottleneck."
"Don't underestimate yourself. No one said that you won't encounter bottlenecks if you have a low cultivation base. If you do encounter difficulties, don't hide them in your heart because you are afraid of embarrassment."
"Yes! I will obey my brother's will."
While speaking, Mo Xia had already cleaned up the chessboard, and eagerly picked up a white piece.
"Let's settle down." Jiang Beiran nodded with a smile.
…
At Yinshi, Mo Xia held the Yinglong chessboard and bowed to Jiang Beiran at the door, then closed the door and walked cheerfully to go back to the house.
But within two steps, Mo Xia felt as if he was being stared at by that terrifying gaze again.
The reason for saying this is that he has felt such gazes many times. Mo Xia also thought about telling his senior brother, but he didn't want to cause trouble for his senior brother because of these trivial matters. After all, the person staring at him in the dark didn't make any substantive violations.
'Who the hell...'
Mo Xia thinks that he is low-key and has never offended any of his seniors. This person who has no grudges in the past and has no grudges in the present, who keeps staring at him.
In addition, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that this gaze was getting more and more terrifying.
Taking two steps forward, Mo Xia turned his head abruptly, but all he saw was darkness.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Xia stopped looking for the person in the dark, and quickly returned to her hut as usual.
On the hillside, Lin Yuyan couldn't help biting her lip when she saw Mo Xia returning to her nest like a little rabbit, and her nails dug deeply into the ground.
If it hadn't been confirmed several times that Mo Xia had a flat chest and an Adam's apple, Lin Yuyan would have gone berserk long ago.
'I really want to go in...'
Although she squatted on the small slope opposite Jiangbeiran's gate for five years, Lin Yuyan never entered Jiangbeiran's house once, and could only watch from a distance every time.
But Lin Yuyan didn't feel anything because her senior brother was very indifferent to everyone, but now someone could enter her dream cabin every few days, and it was when her senior brother was around.
This simply made her jealous beyond recognition!
"Senior brother just wanted to find someone to play chess with, and he just happened to pick him. As long as senior brother is happy, I will be happy when senior brother is happy..."
While speaking, the piece of soil that Lin Yuyan dug into with her fingernails was completely crushed into powder.
"what… "
Exhaling a foul breath, Lin Yuyan regained his composure and remembered his mission today.
"Senior Brother... Senior Brother..."
In the hut, Jiang Beiran, who was about to pack up and go to the back mountain, heard Lin Yuyan's voice transmission.
Sighing, Jiang Beiran opened the door and responded, "What's the matter?"
"Senior brother, I found out about a place called Mei Zhaolin. It is rumored that Qingluan once inhabited there. I think you should be interested, senior brother, so I came to tell you."
'Qing Luan? '
Jiang Beiran frowned, showing interest.
Among the strange beasts, there are five kinds of divine birds, which are called the five phoenixes.
The red phoenix, the yellow pheasant, the green phoenix, and the purple phoenix, and the white swan.
As one of the five phoenixes, Qingluan naturally has the ability to reach the sky.
Qingluan is also called Cangluan. Legend has it that someone has seen Qingluan spread its wings and cover the entire sky, overlooking the earth like the sky.
Although Qingluan was also listed as a strange beast, almost all the legends accompanying it were very auspicious.
For example, the place where Qingluan lives will become a paradise of hope, everything will become full of vitality, and those who see Qingluan with their own eyes will be even more happy.
The probability of rare treasures appearing in such a place where the divine bird once inhabited is quite high, so Jiang Beiran's curiosity was instantly ignited.
"Where did the news come from?" Jiang Beiran asked via voice transmission.
Hearing the senior brother's response, Lin Yuyan clenched her fist secretly, knowing that she had succeeded.
Ever since the couple quarreled last time, Lin Yuyan has been thinking about how to stop her husband from being angry.
However, after much deliberation, there was no perfect solution.
Because if you give the treasure directly, the senior brother will definitely not accept it. Lin Yuyan has tried this many times.
If you want to help senior brother, let's not talk about senior brother's ability, she can help very limited, even if there is something to help, senior brother will definitely not ask her.
'After all, even though senior brother doesn't say anything, he is still very worried about me, hehe. '
Facing the senior brother who has no desires and desires, it is really difficult to apologize, but in the end Lin Yuyan still thought of the most suitable method.
Since the senior brother doesn't accept what he sent, then take a step back and provide him with clues.
The Lin family has a large intelligence network, and there is also an underground black market for selling information. It is easy to find some valuable information.
Now I see that the brother no longer has a straight face, but shows interest.
Lin Yuyan knew that she had made the right bet.
'One step closer to being a good wife, hee hee. '
With a snigger in her heart, Lin Yuyan said via voice transmission: "I heard it from an elder in my family. Although not many people know about it, there are still people who have gone there to hunt for treasure. If senior brother is interested, you should hurry up." It’s better to be prepared.”
'Okay, I see, thank you for the message. '
"Senior brother is too polite, if there is anything that needs help, Yuyan will try her best to help."
"I can solve this matter myself, you go back and rest."
"Yes."
Hearing that her senior brother started to care about her sleep again, Lin Yuyan walked a little lightly, knowing that she could continue to be a good wife again.
Feeling Lin Yuyan's breath going away, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.
If Jiang Beiran were to choose the one who knew how to get along with him best among so many national beauty and heavenly fragrances that could trigger prefecture-level choices, he would definitely choose Lin Yuyan.
Except for the uncontrollable "Rampage" last time, even though Lin Yuyan came to him almost every day, he didn't trigger an option once, just like holding a strategy manual for the system.
And just now, she found another "loophole" in the system.
If she directly sends herself a treasure or some kind of material, unless the value is not high, the option will definitely be triggered.
Shi Fenglan has proved this point many times.
But things like information are completely different from sending them directly. The information just tells him that there may be treasures there. As long as he doesn't go there himself, there is a high probability that he can avoid the way of heaven.
In terms of intelligence, Jiang Beiran lacked a lot. Although Gu Qinghuan helped him collect information everywhere on weekdays, and he could make divinations from time to time, but for the huge Fengzhou, Gu Qinghuan's ability alone was not enough. Too limited.
No matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to grasp all the freshly released information in the entire Fengzhou. A lot of information in his hands was already more than a dozen hands out of date, and it had already lost its timeliness.
So if you want to get more first-hand information, you still have to cultivate an intelligence organization composed of professionals. Jiang Beiran once thought about building one.
However, he found that it was extremely difficult to find younger brothers like Wu Qingce or Gu Qinghuan. Many times, the system would pop out the options as soon as he had the idea of accepting that person as his younger brother.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Beiran cherishes the younger brothers now and gives them the best in everything.
Now Lin Yuyan has helped her open up a new channel, if he can use it well, he will have a lot more opportunities to obtain the treasures of heaven and earth.
Looking at the direction where Lin Yuyan left, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"In terms of exploiting loopholes in the Dao of Heaven, I, Jiang Bei, would like to call you the strongest." '
…
Because they "toughly" rejected Yin Jianghong's and their suzerain's help in "dividing the cake", although the demon sects of the major sects in Fengzhou are still popular, they have nothing to do with Jiang Beiran.
The rare objects and high-quality materials newly brought back by Wu Qingce soon became Jiang Beiran's new favorite.
In recent years, Jiang Beiran has almost always been in the predicament that a smart woman can't cook without rice. Although she has a good craft, she always has no chance to get any good materials.
Now, with the growth of several apprentices, he can finally get some good things, and many things that could only exist on scratch paper before have the opportunity to be realized.
This also caused Jiang Beiran to spend much less time with Shi Fenglan, which made Shi Fenglan very dissatisfied, but was soon suppressed by Jiang Beiran.
"Plop" "Puff" "Puff"
Standing in front of several wine jars, Jiang Beiran poured silver frost pistils into them.
These are spirit wines brewed by Jiang Beiran himself.
In Xuanjie, brewing wine is also a very high-end handicraft. There are five types of spirit wine, namely spirit fruit wine, spirit rice wine, spirit grain wine, spirit medicine wine and special spirit wine.
If it is said that the panacea basically has to carry a sentence that the medicine is three-point poison.
Then spirit wine does not have this shortcoming at all. After all, the raw material of spirit wine is very safe non-toxic food such as spirit fruit or spirit rice. Coupled with long-term fermentation and volatilization, spirit wine can be said to be almost non-toxic.
In addition, although the effect of spiritual wine is almost the same as that of elixir, it is also used to enhance the practitioner's physique or to restore it.
But spirit wine also has its own unique advantages.
First of all, the spirit wine is delicious. It is better to pour a bottle of spirit wine into your mouth if you have nothing to do, than to throw a spirit pill into your mouth and chew it.
Furthermore, when entertaining friends, serving a few altars of spiritual wine will definitely win more applause than serving a few spiritual pills.
Of course, these are not very important details. The real power of spirit wine lies in nourishing the soul.
As the saying goes, wine strengthens people's courage, and the effect of spirit wine on strengthening courage is unique. After drinking a pot of spirit wine, even if the other party's spiritual consciousness is much stronger than yours, you can still be fearless.
Dry! That's it.
If you drink a large amount of spiritual wine every day, you can achieve the effect of nourishing your mind and strengthening your soul, and you will have a lot of advantages when fighting opponents who are good at attacking with spiritual consciousness.
After talking about the difference in effect, spirit wine also has unique advantages in terms of production.
For example, it doesn't need a very high-grade alchemy furnace, it can be brewed as long as an ordinary wine jar.
When brewing wine, you don’t need to continuously introduce the spiritual energy from the world into the furnace like alchemy, and you also need to worry about absorbing more and less. You just need to find a place rich in spiritual energy and put the wine jar in it. It will naturally absorb the aura from outside.
After the spiritual energy enters the wine jar, the wine liquid will also be modified and optimized. As the wine liquid becomes more mellow, the proportion of the wine liquid increases, the concentration increases, the structure becomes more compact, stable, and more reasonable, and the upper limit of storing spiritual energy will also increase. The higher the height, the more and more spiritual energy will be stored.
The last pot of spiritual wine is not so much wine as it is thick liquid spiritual energy.
Of course, after talking about the advantages, there are also many disadvantages of spirit wine.
One of the most troublesome points is too! special! what! slow! up!
It takes decades to brew a jar of high-quality spiritual wine, and it takes hundreds of years for those top-quality spiritual wines. For those practitioners who are not well-cultivated, the wine brewed by themselves can send them away.
Although Jiang Beiran's wine-making skills are as high as alchemy, he has never drunk spirit wine. The reason is that the spirit wine he brewed has been hidden in the cellar, and it is far from being drinkable.
But as a master brewer, it would be a shame if he was completely the same as those ordinary brewers.
So Jiang Beiran has been looking for a way to shorten the brewing time. When he got enough alchemy points and brewing points one day, there was a spark of wisdom between the two.
Jiang Beiran found that if the dosage of some medicinal materials is correct, it can completely speed up the brewing of spirit wine, and there will be no difference in effect and taste.
It's just that this kind of medicinal materials are more difficult to find, and the Yinshuang Rui that Wu Qingce brought back this time is one of them.
Because he was not sure that his theory was correct, Jiang Beiran only took four jars of fruit spirit wine for experimentation.
Watching the Yinshuang Rui slowly melt in the fruit spirit wine, Jiang Beiran took out another blood rainbow fairy root and broke some off.
'This... should be enough. '
Putting a bright red section of blood rainbow fairy root into the fruit spirit wine, Jiang Beiran suddenly smelled a strong aroma of wine.
"Sure enough, there is something wrong!"
