For these eight talented talents who have passed the system test, Jiang Beiran actually didn't have much to ask for.
The purpose of keeping them here is just to let them get to know each other and understand that each other is their "comrade".
"Being in a foreign country, you still have to be careful when doing many things."
After saying this, Jiang Beiran took out several stacks of talisman papers from the Qiankun Ring and distributed them to everyone: "If you encounter difficulties, you can either ask the Shi family for help, or use this talisman paper to form a paper crane to ask me for help."
Jiang Beiran's words have several meanings. It can be understood as asking them to stand in line, or it can be understood as saying that you can go to the Shi family for business matters, but if you don't want the Shi family to know about your private affairs, you can ask him for help.
As for how the eight of them understand it, that's up to each of them.
This was the first question Jiang Beiran asked them.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang!" The eight people cupped their hands after taking the talisman paper.
"Well, I wish you all a bright future, go back."
"Yes!"
After answering in unison, the eight people scattered and left, and the square regained its tranquility.
Jiang Beiran looked up at the bright starry sky, wondering when his long-term investment would pay off.
'Let it be, let it be. '
After murmuring twice in his heart, Jiang Beiran also slowly walked outside.
Afterwards, Jiang Beiran spent two days completely eradicating the curse of Shi Weiyi's golden phoenix ghost orchid, bringing it back to health.
Shi Weiyi was also not stingy at all, and directly gave Jiang Beiran a mysterious magic weapon as a thank you gift.
"This is too precious, and the younger generation deserves it." Jiang Beiran said holding the brocade box.
"You are welcome, this is what the old ancestor meant. He said that your cultivation base is low, and it is too dangerous to go out without a good defensive magic weapon, so you can accept it."
The treasure that Shi Weiyi gave to Jiang Beiran this time is a mysterious high-grade magic weapon named Baiyuexuan Bracelet. Its function is to form a golden mask formed by willpower. The stronger the willpower of the user, the stronger the defensive power of the golden mask. stronger.
And even if it is used by a practitioner with weak willpower, the transformed golden mask can at least withstand the move of a strong person in the Xuanzun state once, and it can be the top defensive magic weapon in the Xuan class.
However, Jiang Beiran never expected that Shi Weiyi would give him a top-level mysterious magic weapon as a thank you gift.
You must know that after staying in the six countries for so long, he has gradually realized one thing.
That is, even in the Six Kingdoms, magic weapons at the earth level and heaven level are as rare as morning stars.
The reason for this is very simple, because the heavenly magic weapon is against the magic weapon used by Emperor Xuan, but since Emperor Xuan disappeared from the Xuanlong Continent, the heavenly magic weapon has almost become a swan song.
The target of the earth-level magic weapon is naturally Xuansheng, and its number is also as rare as Xuansheng.
So every one of them will cause an uproar.
Under the circumstances that both heaven and earth magic weapons are extremely rare, Xuan-level and Huang-level magic weapons have naturally become the mainstream of magic weapons.
The following subdivisions are that practitioners below Xuanzong mainly use yellow-level magic weapons, and practitioners above Xuanzong mainly use Xuan-level magic weapons.
And above Xuanzong, of course, includes Xuansheng.
After all, earth-level magic weapons are too rare. Even Xuansheng cannot be covered with earth-level magic weapons. Most of them still use mysterious-level magic weapons.
Under such circumstances, Shi Weiyi actually gave him a top-level mysterious magic weapon directly, which can be said to be an absolute masterpiece.
At the moment when he accepted this magic weapon, Jiang Beiran suddenly became strongly aware of Shi Weiyi's attributes as a diplomat.
As the "foreign minister" of the Shi family, the relationship between Shi Weiyi and him can actually be regarded as a negotiation, or even a transaction.
Standing in his position, of course he has to beat himself from time to time like he did two days ago, to let him understand that the Shi family is not stupid, and don't always think about taking advantage, or even empty-handed.
But diplomacy is definitely more than beating, it is also very important to give benefits in a timely manner.
From this point of view, Shi Weiyi took him to see flowers this time not to test him, but to find an excuse to benefit him.
After analyzing this wave of operations, Jiang Bei accepted the brocade box and saluted, "Thank you for the gift from the sages."
"You deserve this. I told you a long time ago that as long as you put your heart and soul into doing things for my Shi family, you will definitely benefit from it." Shi Weiyi changed the subject and said, "Besides, from today onwards, Xuanfang is also fully open to you, you can go to any place with a virtuous card in your hand, this is not only an affirmation of your ability, but also a test of your ability, I hope you will not let your ancestors down."
"The younger generation must do their best."
In the Shi family, Linglongfang and Xuanfang are actually the same system, one is in charge of production and the other is in charge of sales.
And Xuanfang is not open to outsiders, and the most valuable place is naturally the warehouse.
In order to increase the influence of Shijiaxuanfang and attract more people to trade here, there are still many treasures of the town in the warehouse.
Now that Shi Weiyi has opened up this warehouse to Jiang Beiran, it means that the Shi family has completely handed over the Xuanyi to him. In the future, when the Xuanyi is done, you, Jiang Beiran, will be one of the biggest contributors, but if can not do well…
Look at this pot, it's big and round.
But since he has already become the virtuous card of the Shi family, and he has no cultivation base, then Jiang Bei naturally has to convince everyone in the aspect of Xuanyi, otherwise he will be slapped in the face of the clan saint.
"Hohoho." When Jiang Beiran put the brocade box into the Qiankun Ring, Shi Weiyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Beiran, you are my favorite junior, I believe you will never let me disappointment."
"Juniors should work hard."
"Okay, then I have nothing to do, you can go about your business."
"Yes, this junior will leave." Jiang Beiran left the Shengxian mansion after speaking.
After leaving the sage's mansion, Jiang Beiran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the responsibilities on his shoulders were a little heavier, his mood was much more relaxed.
Because after this conversation, the Shi family's temptations and tests for him finally came to an end.
In the future, as long as he manages Xuanyi as a guest, it will be fine. This is much better than when everyone in the Shi family was curious about him and kept testing him.
After finishing this matter, Jiang Beiran went back to Wanhua Valley for two days. Apart from playing with Shi Fenglan for a while, Jiang Beiran also transferred all kinds of relevant materials from Xuanfang.
Although his life creed has always been to know as little as possible, but there is no way, now that Xuanfang has been bound to him, he can no longer be a shopkeeper.
Even if we don't say let Xuanfang reach new heights, we must not make it worse than before.
Seeing until the third day, Jiang Bei, thinking that the day of laying the coffin had arrived, left Tong country and flew to Qi country early in the morning.
After calling Lin Yuyan to take him into Qi State, the two returned to the mansion together.
"Senior brother! The exercise book you gave me is really powerful. Now I can not only control the evil spirit better, but also have a way to make it stronger."
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Yuyan said to Jiang Beiran excitedly.
Hearing that Lin Yuyan said that the exercise was useful, Jiang Beiran nodded in satisfaction.
This shows that Tang Jingran didn't cheat him, and then he can continue to trade for a longer period of time.
When he came to the backyard, Jiang Beiran first checked the self-enchantment that already had a basic structure, and found that it had begun to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and the rest was to wait for it to become more solid and then continue to spread it out.
Seeing that there was no problem with the self-enchantment, Jiang Beiran went out and told Lin Yuyan that he had something to do, and then left without waiting for Lin Yuyan to speak.
Looking at the senior brother who left in a hurry, Lin Yuyan suddenly felt a white light flash in his mind, and felt that something was wrong.
"I don't know which little fox is entangled with the husband again. If I find out..."
As Lin Yuyan thought about it, the evil ocher-colored aura slowly emanated from her body, and it became more and more intense...
Jiang Beiran, who left the mansion, took the shuttle to the plague-stricken village, and walked slowly to the door of Xia Lingdang's house after landing.
"Boom. Boom."
Jiang Beiran stepped forward and knocked on the door twice.
After a while, there was a rush of footsteps coming from the door, and the door was pulled open.
"Benevolence!" Xia Lingdang shouted happily when she saw Jiang Beiran.
"I was delayed on the road, and I came a few days late, but I have seen the day, and today is the right time for burial. Are you ready?"
Hearing Engong being so polite, Xia Lingdang hurriedly said: "It's all up to Engong's arrangement."
"Okay, then I'll find someone now."
Funeral is also called "going out of the mountain", and you can take the coffin to the burial when you choose an auspicious day.
Probably because the village had just been hit by a catastrophe, Jiang Beiran quickly found a group of Caotai team nearby, and came to the door of Xia Lingdang's house while playing suona and beating gongs and drums.
After the completion of a series of ceremonies such as recitation, material sweeping, and preparation of sacrificial animals, the Grass Stage team was ready to fight.
Because she is the only one left in Xia Lingdang's family now, she has to do the son's and wife's work.
In his left hand he holds a mourning stick made of white paper, and in his arms is a stuffing jar.
"Broken tile~~"
After everything was ready, Li Sheng, who was in charge of hosting, shouted at the top of his voice.
After hearing this, Xia Lingdang handed over the mourning stick to someone else, and then smashed all the pots that were used to sacrifice and burn paper in front of the coffin just now.
This pot is also called the Yin-Yang pot. After the sacrifice, it becomes the pot of the dead, and it is smashed so that the dead can take it on the road.
As soon as the clay basin fell, the bearer raised the bar, and the funeral was officially carried out.
Looking at the impromptu grass-roots team, Jiang Beiran felt that they were quite professional, and the order of funerals was also very particular. Those who should go first would never go behind, and those who should go last would never go first.
Beating gongs and drums all the way to the cemetery, Xia Lingdang put the stuffed food jars and long-burning lamps that were buried with him in the niche on the wall of the tomb.
After sweeping away the footprints, the coffin was slowly put down, and finally the coffin was covered with shoveled soil, and the soil was piled up to form a grave.
When Xia Lingdang was lying unconscious in front of the grave, the leader of the Grass Stage team ran over to Jiang Beiran and said, "Master, do you see if our funeral affairs for you are beautiful and beautiful? Suona blowing..."
Jiang Beiran naturally understood what the team leader meant, and casually took out a money bag from his pocket and threw it at the team leader, "You did a good job. This is your reward."
After the team leader caught it, he weighed it a little, then immediately nodded and bowed and shouted: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
"You can go."
"Hey! I wish the uncle a lot of money, and the prosperity and longevity increase every year! The younger ones will retire first."
After speaking, he led his subordinates away happily.
After watching the Caotai team gradually go away, Jiang Beiran turned around and found that Xia Lingdang had finished crying. After kowtowing three times in front of the grave, he turned and came to Jiang Beiran and said, "Grandpa, I will be your man from now on."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran sighed hard in his heart.
The most troublesome part finally came.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran was about to speak when the system prompt popped up.
[Option 1: Let Xia Lingdang stay in the mansion. Completion reward: Jiuxiao Youjing (Heaven-Level Low Grade)]
[Option 2: Let Xia Lingdang follow you. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]
'Nimma's... I knew it. '
Although he had already guessed that it would be difficult to deal with people who can start the sky-level option, Jiang Beiran still has a big headache after seeing the fact that this is the case.
No matter how Xia Lingdang has unlimited potential, she is just an ordinary person now, and it is as troublesome as possible to keep her by her side.
Coupled with the fact that she is very likely to have the aura of the protagonist, God knows what kind of trouble it will cause.
'At that time, she can hide with the halo, what should I do? Wouldn't it be an unjust death if he took the blame for her? '
One question after another made Jiang Beiran feel overwhelmed, but he had no choice but to choose the second silently, and said to Xia Lingdang: "From today on, you will stay by my side, you will always have something to eat."
[Optional task completed, reward: Perception +1]
After hearing this, Xia Lingdang immediately thanked Dade and said, "Thank you benefactor, thank you... no, thank you master, thank you master!"
"Tsk."
Smacking his lips, Jiang Beiran, who felt a little dumbfounded, took Xia Lingdang and set foot on the way back to the mansion.
On the way, Jiang Bei couldn't help but think carefully about why various systems insisted that he wear Xia Lingdang next to him.
'Without me, she wouldn't have a chance? '
'Or without me, she'd die before she got the chance? '
'Or am I her chance? '
…
Various questions kept circling in Jiang Beiran's mind, but he still couldn't make a decision.
Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Beiran looked at Xia Lingdang and asked, "Do you know a cultivator?"
"I know." Xia Lingdang nodded and said.
"I am a cultivator, so staying with me will bring many dangers."
After hearing this, Xia Lingdang immediately replied: "Master, I'm not afraid of danger!"
"I need you to be afraid. Only when you are afraid will you know how to avoid it."
After hearing this, Xia Lingdang showed an inexplicable expression, and said embarrassedly: "Master... I... have no education, so I don't quite understand what you mean."
"It's okay, just stay with me, and you will gradually understand in the future."
Because Xia Lingdang was just an ordinary person, she couldn't take the special transportation tools for practitioners like Feishuo and Xiangyun. In desperation, Jiang Beiran had to rent a carriage to take her back to the mansion.
Thinking that even travel would be restricted to such an extent in the days to come, Jiang Beiran wanted to yell at the sky.
'What the hell are you playing with me! '
