"Come! Drink!"

With a "boom", Ji Qinglin smashed a wine jar on the table.

"I'm too drunk, Master Ji, why don't we drink tea instead?"

"What's so good about drinking tea? This is the best Jinbochun. I'm reluctant to give it to ordinary people." Ji Qinglin said as he lifted the lid. In an instant, an intoxicating aroma of wine filled the whole place. large account.

"Smell, can you bear the aroma of this wine?" Ji Qinglin said as he took out a porcelain bowl to fill up the wine, and handed it to Jiang Beiran.

But Jiang Beiran thought that he would run away later, and he really didn't intend to drink at the moment, so he waved his hands and said, "Master Ji, I really can't drink."

"I've filled up the wine for you. If you don't drink it, you won't give me face."

As soon as Ji Qinglin finished speaking, two options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.

[Option 1: Take the porcelain bowl and drink it all in one gulp. Completion reward: Wujin Yaoshu (mysterious top grade)]

[Option 2: "You insist on letting me drink, but you just won't give me face." Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]

'Um? '

Looking at option one, Jiang Beiran couldn't help frowning.

'what happened? Could it be that there is poison in the wine? '

However, Jiang Beiran immediately vetoed this idea. After all, from Ji Qinglin's point of view, why is it so troublesome to kill him, and need poisoned wine

Jiang Bei, who couldn't think of a reason for a while, chose the second and said: "You insist on letting me drink, but you just don't give me face."

[Optional mission completed, reward: Spirit +1]

"Huh?" Ji Qinglin narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Beiran for a while, then smiled and said, "Sure enough, there are no more than three...four people in the Cheng Kingdom who dare to speak to me like this."

'Is it so specific...'

After complaining in his heart, Jiang Beiran responded: "I am really not good at drinking, so please invite Master Ji Haihan."

"Okay, okay, then I'll take it as if you're not good at drinking." Ji Qinglin said as he put the wine jar back on, sat across from Jiang Beiran and said, "Since you don't need wine to cheer you up, let's just chat like this. what are you thinking."

"I don't know what Master Ji is referring to?"

"Nature is the future of Sheng Kingdom."

'Did you raise the topic so high as soon as you came up? '

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran replied: "The first step is naturally to gather the vital forces of Sheng Kingdom."

"and then?"

"Attack from far away and attack close at hand, draw it slowly."

"Ha!" Ji Qinglin slapped the table fiercely, "I knew that you are a moderate school like my master, but have you ever thought about what we, Cheng Kingdom, use to communicate with others?"

"Then what does Master Ji think the way out for Sheng Kingdom?"

"Break into the mystery!"

"..."

Seeing Ji Qinglin say these three words seriously, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood where the difference between him and Yin Jianghong was.

On the territory of Xuanlong Continent, there are all kinds of places full of visions.

For example, the Anbei Plain, where the gravity is much higher than other regions, such as the Throne Mountain, which is half of flames and half of frost, such as the Ghost Crow Forest, where poisonous insects are bigger than humans...

But if you want to talk about the most famous and terrifying place of vision, it must be Xuanji Island.

Xuanji Island is located in the southernmost part of the Xuanlong Continent. It was originally called Heiwu Island, because it was shrouded in black mist all year round, so it got its name.

In the beginning, because the situation inside the black mist could not be seen from the outside, the fear of the unknown stopped many strong people from exploring.

But no matter which world you are in, you will never be without warriors.

In the second year after Heiwu Island was discovered, a strong man of Xuanwang Realm broke into it, but unfortunately he never came out again, and no one knew his life or death.

Since then, the black fog island has been shrouded in a veil of mystery, making countless people daunting.

However, just as there is no shortage of warriors in any world, there is no shortage of young men in any world.

Although the disappearance of King Xuan made most practitioners feel fear, it also made a small number of practitioners smell the taste of opportunity.

Most of them have the spirit of challenge (zuo) and challenge (si). After analyzing a bunch of what is there and what is not, they entered the black mist island in batches and batches.

One year, two years, three years.

Ten people, hundreds of people, thousands of people.

When more and more strong men entered the Black Mist Island one after another, but no one came back alive, these stunned youths finally knew how to write fearful words.

This black mist island is like a machine for harvesting human lives, even if it is as strong as Xuanzong, it will not be able to return alive from it.

But just when everyone was about to list Heiwu Island as a taboo place, a practitioner named Duan Yuan suddenly walked out of the black mist.

This made those "best friends" who guarded outside Heiwu Island overjoyed, and thanked that their persistence for so many years was not in vain.

And when they greeted Duan Yuan, something that surprised them even more happened.

Duan Yuan actually broke through to Xuanzun Realm in one fell swoop! And already at the fifth level of Xuanzun! You must know that after Xuanzun, it is very difficult to advance to each level. Xuanzun at the fifth level was definitely a strong man in the world at that time.

What is even more amazing is that when Duan Yuan entered the Black Mist Island two years ago, he was only a Xuan King. After only two years, he broke through from the Xuan King to the fifth level of Xuan Zun, which is impossible for everyone. Imaginable promotion speed.

But when people asked about what Duan Yuan experienced in the Black Mist Island, Duan Yuan replied...

"I don't remember anything."

That's right, although Yuanyuan's cultivation has become extremely powerful when he came out, his memory still stays at the time when he first entered Heiwu Island, and the memory of the two years in Heiwu Island after that seems to have been completely erased. Little picture and sound are never left.

But no matter what, the soaring of Duan Yuan's cultivation level is real, which also makes those practitioners who were about to give up regain their confidence and step into the black mist island again.

Afterwards, five more people came back from the Black Mist Island one after another, and the most powerful of them was already at the peak of Xuanzun, only one step away from advancing to the Xuansheng Realm.

And Xuansheng is already the most powerful person on this continent, only under the legendary Emperor Xuan.

But in the same way, these five people don't have any memories of being in the Black Mist Island at all, no matter whether they stayed for five years or ten years, they have no memories left at all.

In the end, the six people who came out of Heiwu Island all became strong, but none of them prohibited other practitioners from entering Heiwu Island, and even strictly prohibited some sects with ulterior motives from enclosing Heiwu Island as own chassis.

The harshness of the words is completely saying that whoever dares to treat Heiwu Island as his own is to be an enemy of the six of them.

This makes all practitioners feel very strange. Logically speaking, if a person digs a gold mine somewhere, he will definitely try to hide this place for himself, but these six people not only did not In doing so, you even encourage others to dig along.

This is simply unbelievable.

Such an abnormal behavior naturally aroused everyone's imagination, and some people thought that only those with such a heart could be recognized by Kurokirishima and come out of it.

Part of them believed that these six people hoped to find more companions. Maybe one day, someone would come back with all the memories of the Black Mist Island and tell them what was inside.

There is also a small group of people who think that these six people have actually been brainwashed by the people in Heiwu Island, and they came back to let more people go to Heiwu Island to die.

It's just that rumors are rumors after all, most people only see substantial benefits, King Xuan enters, Xuanzun comes out at the peak, where else can such good things be found

The existence of these six people seemed to announce loudly to the whole world.

"Do you want to have the same power as us? If you want it, I will give it to you, go find it! Everything in the world is placed there!"

All of a sudden, the age of the great black mist opened, down to Xuanshi, up to Xuanzun, those who want to "get rich overnight", want to explore the truth, want to continue to improve their own...

With various purposes in mind, countless cultivators entered the Black Mist Island without looking back.

It was also from that time that the name of Heiwu Island became Xuanji Island, which means an island looking for opportunities.

However, a full ten years later!

But no one came out of the Black Mist Island again.

You must know that hundreds of thousands of practitioners have entered Heiwu Island in the past ten years, and this number can be said to be quite astonishing.

But among so many people, no one has ever returned from Xuanji Island, which made countless practitioners with dreams and luck finally come to their senses.

When they looked up again, they found that Xuanji Island in front of them was no longer a holy place full of opportunities, but a terrifying monster with its bloody mouth wide open, as if it wanted to swallow up the practitioners of the entire Xuanlong Continent .

In the future, although there will still be top practitioners who choose to enter Xuanji Island every year, but the number is not as good as before. Since then, Xuanji Island has become a forbidden place full of legends in the eyes of most people.

Because there was so much turmoil back then, not to mention that practitioners knew about it, even many ordinary people knew about it, and even some desperadoes would choose to go to Xuanji Island to fight when they were desperate.

Of course, none of them survived in the end.

Of course, Jiang Beiran had already heard of the great name of Xuanji Island when he first joined the sect, but these days most people only regard Xuanji Island as a very famous place.

Just like everyone knows Mount Everest, but few people think about climbing or even conquering it.

'It's really... an expert is actually by my side, no, it should be said that he is by my side. '

Jiang Beiran never expected that Ji Qinglin would have the idea of going to Xuanji Island, no matter how you think about it, it's a free gift.

Seeing Jiang Beiran stunned, Ji Qinglin asked seriously: "I know you think this idea is crazy and unrealistic, but I think you are the ones who are really unrealistic."

"I know your idea is to attach yourself to a powerful country, and then slowly accumulate your own strength to replace it, but are they so stupid? Waiting to be replaced by us? If they are so stupid, they can't become a contender for hegemony. One of the most powerful countries in the world."

"So Master Ji intends to venture to Xuanji Island bravely, and then return as Xuanzun to lead Sheng Kingdom to become a first-class power in the mainland?"

"That's right!" Ji Qinglin slammed the table: "Since I was sensible, I don't know what it means to be subordinate to others! Everyone is a practitioner, so why should I work under their hands?"

'It's a heroic temper. '

Nodding in his heart, Jiang Beiran asked again: "Keep Master Ji should also know that no one has come out of Xuanji Island alive for thirty-five years."

"So what?" Ji Qinglin raised two eyebrows.

As far as this question is concerned, Jiang Beiran understands the leader Ji in front of him. No matter in which world, there are always some pretentious people who think that he can do what others can't do.

Of course, the pretentiousness here cannot be regarded as a derogatory term. After all, many of these people do have real skills, and they did make a breakthrough in the end.

Since Ji Qinglin was able to leapfrog against Xuanzong this time as Xuanhuang, it showed that he was indeed quite special, and it was quite normal to have such an arrogance.

"Then I would like to wish Hierarch Ji a triumphant return and become the savior of Sheng Kingdom in advance."

"It's stupid." After spitting, Ji Qinglin straightened his bangs and said, "I know whether it's Master or you, I think I'm talking nonsense, but in my eyes, why aren't you? If you rush out of this broken place in the Kingdom of Sheng, you have to take a slant! If you fight steadily like you, you can only end up with nothing in the end."

"Ji Jiaozhu is right. There is nothing in this world that is absolutely impossible to succeed. Just like Ji Jiaozhu, you firmly believe that you can come out of Xuanji Island alive. Zhen and Yin also firmly believe that we can lead Shengguo to become a The strongest country on the Xuanlong Continent."

"Hahahahaha!" Ji Qinglin burst out laughing after hearing this, "What you said sounds too sweet, unlike Master, who scolds me for daydreaming all day long, everyone is dreaming anyway, why do I have to talk to him Have the same dream?"

"Well said." Jiang Beiran nodded, "I admire Master Ji for having such an idea and courage."

"Don't rush to admire." Ji Qinglin waved his hand, "If I'm really so bold, you can still see me here? I've gone to Xuanji Island a long time ago."

Speaking of which, Ji Qinglin sighed and continued: "Since we have talked about this, I am not afraid of your jokes. To be honest, I am also afraid. I know that if I go to Xuanji Island, I will definitely die. If we are really facing a crisis, or if Master is being manipulated by someone, I will use myself as a trump card for Sheng Kingdom."

"The hole card..." Jiang Beiran chewed on these two words, and immediately said with admiration: "Master Ji is really a national scholar."

The meaning of Ji Qinglin's words is actually very simple, that is, if Tiancheng country becomes a subsidiary country of other countries, he will rush into Xuanji Island in front of the enemies, even if those enemies don't think he can get out alive, but in his heart There is always some fear.

After all, four of the six people who came out of Xuanji Island avenged their own sect or country, and wiped out the country and sect that had bullied them.

So even if the probability is extremely small, the opponent will still think carefully before making a deadly move against Sheng Guo.
