I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 40: Are all the demon cultists so rich now?

Views:

The tiger can be regarded as the smartest animal in the cat family, so after Jiang Beiran had a friendly communication with it for about 10 minutes, the white-fronted tiger with eyes full of bags brought Jiang Beiran Came under a tallow tree.

"Aww." The eye-catching white-fronted tiger stretched out its paw and pointed to a place that had obviously been buried.

"Well, you did well." Jiang Beiran stretched out his hand and touched the big head of the eye-catching white-fronted tiger.

"Woo..." The white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes let out a cry of enjoyment, and rubbed its big head against Jiang Beiran's arm vigorously.

"Be good, be good, go to the side."

Pushing the eye-catching white-fronted tiger away, Jiang Beiran walked to the place where the landfill had been filled and squatted down. At the same time, two options popped up in front of him.

[Option 1: Direct excavation. Completion reward: Qinglong Chushui (Yellow-level top-rank)]

[Option 2: Be fully prepared before digging. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]

"Oh shit!"

Jiang Beiran really didn't expect that there would be a trap waiting for him in this pit worthy of the system's jumping out options, after all, the other party was only a second-level qi practitioner.

'Sure enough, you can't underestimate any cultivator, who knows that he will suddenly take out some weird big treasure and hit you in the face. '

With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran took out a piece of highly anti-toxic "black fern gauze" from the Qiankun ring and put it on his face, then took out a bottle of "blue python juice" and poured a little into the soil.

After waiting for about five minutes, Jiang Beiran, who was wearing "silk gloves", was about to dig up a little soil when he saw a black-gold centipede about the thickness of a finger emerge from the soil as if fleeing for his life.

'Black Meteor Centipede! ? '

Although Jiang Beiran didn't expect to see this thing here at all, but his movements were not slow at all, and he put the one-foot-long black meteorite centipede into the gourd as soon as he grabbed it and let it go.

"Yes, there are unexpected gains." Jiang Beiran shook the gourd and laughed.

As far as Jiang Beiran knew, the black meteor centipede was the signature poison of Shurazhai, but generally only high-level people had it.

This centipede is extremely poisonous, if accidentally bitten by it, cultivators below Xuanling will die on the spot or later, and cultivators above Xuanling will not feel bad if they are bitten.

'A mere human trafficker, how can he use such a strange thing to guard his treasure? It seems that what he said that day about the proceeds from the tomb robbery was indeed a lie, but he was careful. '

Hanging the gourd on his waist, Jiang Beiran began to dig down after confirming that there should be only this black meteor centipede, and soon touched a hard object.

'There is. '

The corners of Jiang Beiran's mouth were slightly raised, and he completely peeled off the soil covering it, and took out an orange box from inside.

[Optional task completed, reward: Chess skill +1]

Seeing the system prompt, Jiang Beiran knew that the alarm had been completely lifted.

After patting off the dirt on the box, Jiang Beiran looked at a brass lock on the box, dumbfounded.

'mdzz... Being able to get this box means that you are not afraid of even the black meteor centipede, and you can still be stumped by your little copper lock? '

Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran casually took out a wire and inserted it into the keyhole to fiddle with it, and then heard a "click", and the lock opened.

Taking off the lock and putting it aside, Jiang Beiran slowly opened the box.

'Damn... Is it possible to make money as a periphery of the Devil's Cult now! ? '

Looking at the three low-grade gold spirit stones and a book of formations in the box, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but spit in his heart.

He thought that the low-grade gold spirit stone he confiscated last time was already the entire belongings of the young leader, but unexpectedly, it was only a quarter of it.

'It's no wonder that more and more young people are more willing to join the Devil's Cult, it's too lucrative. '

Jiang Beiran sighed and collected three low-grade gold spirit stones into the Qiankun ring, then took a look at the formation book that said [Water Heart Organ Pavilion] on the cover, and just this one glance made Jiang Bei Suddenly became interested.

'Hmm... The sixteen earthly branches are the formations in the 1080 rounds. The writing is very complicated. I have to go back and use it to deduce it. '

When he turned the book to the middle page, Jiang Beiran already knew that his trip was worthwhile, and he could learn something new.

'It seems that this formation and the black meteor centipede should have been given to him by Shurazhai, but can only an outer disciple have so many good things? How rich is Shura Zhai? '

For a while, Jiang Beiran came up with many ideas, such as the young leader being the illegitimate son of a high-level executive, or maybe he stole these things from Shura Zhai.

'But it has nothing to do with me. '

Putting an end to these groundless guesses, Jiang Beiran stuffed "Water Heart Organ Pavilion" into the Qiankun Ring, then stood up and looked at the white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes who had been sitting obediently beside him, and smiled, "Do you think I should kill you to silence you?" ?”

The eye-catching white-fronted tiger burst into fury after hearing this, and quickly bowed to the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Aww... aww... aww..."

Regardless of whether Jiang Beiran understood or not, the white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes kept expressing that he was just an ordinary little tiger and would not pose any threat to you.

"Woo..."

After another pitiful roar, the white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes raised his eyes cautiously, and found that Jiang Beiran, who was standing in front of him, had disappeared at some point...

The next morning, Jiang Beiran got up early, made himself a bowl of lotus seed soup for breakfast, and went out refreshed.

Yesterday he deduced the formations in "Water Heart Organ Pavilion" all night, and realized a lot of ways to avoid armor, which made the ability of formations more abundant.

Turning a few small roads with ease, Jiang Beiran came to Lanxinxuan.

Because it is still early, there are no disciples playing chess here at this moment.

Walking all the way to the innermost room, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands towards a door and shouted, "Cheng Auditorium, the students are back."

As soon as Jiang Beiran finished speaking, the door was opened with a "bang", and at the same time a hand stretched out from inside and grabbed Jiang Beiran in.

"Come, come, sit down quickly, I haven't played against you for two days, my hands are very itchy."

A white-haired old man with a long beard said while pressing Jiang Beiran on the opposite side of the chess table.

Jiang Beiran didn't want to spoil the interest of the auditorium, so he nodded and said: "Then I will hold Baizi first, and I ask the auditorium to be merciful."

"No, no, I'll hold the white pieces in this game." Cheng Litang said, knocking off Jiang Beiran's hand that was reaching out to Bai Ziqi, and took the chess piece to his side.

Jiang Beiran stared blankly. As the saying goes, "hold the white pieces as a respect", he took the initiative to take the white pieces first, expressing "My chess strength is lower than yours in the auditorium, so I should take the white pieces first."

But I didn't expect that the auditorium completely ignored these common etiquettes today, and just snatched Baizi away.

"It seems that the auditorium has a new understanding."

Jiang Beiran smiled slightly, took the black chess piece and put it in his hand, then looked at the chessboard intently, waiting for Cheng Auditor to drop the first stone.

PS: It was originally planned to be updated twice... but this chapter took me four hours. (Okay, I'm short, I'm short.)
