I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 543: old man

Views:

Like a frightened little rabbit, Liu Weining held onto Jiang Beiran's clothes tightly, her face full of horror.

What did Shi Weiyi do to this little silly girl to scare her like this. '

But thinking about it, with Shi Weiyi's status, how could it be impossible to make a move against a little girl like Liu Weining and lose her position. It is presumed that an adult from the Liu family was tricked by Shi Weiyi, which left a shadow in Liu Weining's young mind.

Dragging Liu Weining to the back of the Yunling Pavilion, Jiang Beiran found that the Tianxiang room was just as the owner of the hall said, the space was quite large, let alone a dozen people, even if it could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, there would be no problem.

Shi Weiyi was obviously satisfied after reading it, nodded and said: "Then please trouble Master Wan to make a little arrangement and clean it up."

"Okay." Wan Herong bowed his hands and retreated.

Looking back at Jiang Beiran, Shi Weiyi said, "Don't worry, Beiran, as long as you help me win this competition, the Shi family will never treat you badly."

'Hehe, old stuff, even verbal rewards are unwilling to be specific. '

After cursing secretly, Jiang Beiran gave Shi Weiyi a middle finger.

Seeing Jiang Beiran's suddenly protruding middle finger, Shi Weiyi was obviously a little confused, "I don't know what Beiran means?"

Jiang Beiran replied with a smile: "The five elements of the middle finger belong to fire, and the five elements represent myself. The so-called strength of a lifetime, here is one finger. Swearing with the middle finger means that I will do my best and do my best."

Shi Weiyi nodded after listening, "So that's it. As expected of a formation master, the way of expression is different from ordinary people."

"It's just some industry knowledge, not worth mentioning."

After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he put down his middle finger and looked outside the door.

The Shi Mansion should be protected by a large array, so the miasma did not engulf the place, and the air outside was still very fresh.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Beiran almost forgot about the miasma.

Seeing Jiang Beiran's eyes looking into the distance, Shi Weiyi asked, "Are you worried about miasma?"

"Aren't the sages worried?"

"If worrying is useful, then I don't have to call you here, just stay in the room and frown."

Jiang Beiran smiled slightly after listening, "Sages really have great wisdom."

"Hohohoho, what kind of great wisdom is this? It's because you always look like you see through the world at such a young age, that's why you realized the Tao early."

"The sages praised it absurdly, and the younger generation thinks that they can't avoid vulgarity, otherwise they don't need to go into the world to practice."

Hearing the word "joining the WTO", Shi Weiyi couldn't help but glance at Jiang Beiran, and began to fill in Jiang Beiran's background in his mind.

And this is also Jiang Beiran's deliberate intention. After all, such things as people's designs still need to be maintained from time to time. It's much better to come here occasionally than to keep pretending.

After sighing, Jiang Beiran pretended not to talk about it, changed the subject and said, "I wonder how much trouble this miasma has caused to the Shi family?"

"Even you are here, how much trouble do you think this is?"

"Does the sage know where this miasma comes from?"

Shaking his head, Shi Weiyi replied: "Now everyone is confused and trying to find out."

Seeing that Shi Weiyi didn't seem to intend to tell himself too much, Jiang Beiran didn't ask any further questions. When he wanted to say something himself, he would naturally say it, and at that time, he didn't want to listen to it. .

But Jiang Beiran always had a doubt in his heart.

It stands to reason that since the situation has become so serious, so many high-level officials from Tongguo can still hold meetings here calmly.

It's not that it's wrong to have a meeting, after all, if you don't hold a meeting to discuss the countermeasures first, then everyone will go their own way and there will be no way to work together.

It's just that so many people are meeting here, who is defending against the enemy outside

"Could it be... Profound Sage?"

As soon as this idea came up, Jiang Beiran felt that it should be right.

After all, he did not see the patriarch Shi Hongyun in the meeting of the giants, and the only person with a relatively high status in the entire conference hall was the old man called Xianjun.

That is to say, in the entire meeting hall, there should be only the old man called Xianjun who is in the Profound Sage Realm and is in charge of presiding over the meeting. Otherwise, no one at the table would accept anyone else, and it would be difficult for the meeting to continue.

The more Jiang Beiran thought about it, the more he felt that there was no problem.

Those who can fight have gone out to defend against the enemy, and the smart brains are responsible for getting together to find a way to solve this crisis from the source.

"Xiao Beiran! I'm back!"

After about a stick of incense, Shi Fenglan rushed into the Tianxiang room with a group of friends.

There are also many familiar faces of Jiang Beiran, such as Shi Jiamu and Shi Yutong.

When they heard that Jiang Beiran was going to compete with others, they immediately joined Shi Fenglan's "cheerleading squad", which was quite positive.

Except for them, almost all other members of the "cheerleading squad" are girls, and they are probably juniors of the clan, otherwise they would not be eligible to enter this place.

"It turns out that this is the Xuanyi Grandmaster in Linglongfang, who is so young."

"And it's still alive and pretty."

"You know it looks good, can you look at the connotation more?"

"Tch, don't look at it, I just like to look at good-looking people, it's none of your business."

"vulgar."

"hypocritical!"

When all the girls were arguing, Shi Jiamu quietly walked up to Jiang Beiran and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, why are you so high-profile this time? It's not like you."

"In the world of adults, there are so many people who can't help themselves."

After hearing this, Shi Jiamu showed a thoughtful expression, and felt that what the uncle said was always so philosophical.

Shi Yutong was a bit uncharacteristic this time, she didn't take the initiative to talk to Jiang Beiran, but stood watching from a distance.

Although she has heard many legends about Jiang Beiran, she has never seen how capable he is, so she is looking forward to it today.

With the "cheerleaders" in place, the contestants also began to enter the arena one after another.

Moreover, it was not the attendants or guards who led those big brothers in, but the juniors of the family. After all, this is the forbidden area of the Shi family. It is better to watch these guests a little bit, otherwise it will be bad if they get lost. .

Seeing people coming, Shi Weiyi patted Jiang Beiran on the shoulder, got up to greet them, and Jiang Beiran was observing the guests brought by these people.

Some of these guests are old and some are young, but most of them are elders in their sixties, Shi Weiyi is probably considered a junior in front of them.

But just from the smell on them, Jiang Beiran could tell that these people had been immersed in alchemy for a long time.

'They are all seniors. '

The reason why Jiang Beiran didn't stay in Sheng Country to study the antidote was that he might find more high-quality pharmacists to exchange ideas with Shi's family. After all, this miasma poison is indeed a bit tricky, and multiple teammates have multiple ideas.

However, he had just arrived, and Shi Weiyi gave him a surprise. Originally, he wanted to chat with the master Wan of Linglongfang and a few more powerful doctors. The country's alchemy experts have been invited.

It can be said that it is one step in place.

After a while, all the big shots who made a bet with Shi Weiyi just now arrived, and at the same time, other big shots in the conference hall also showed up one after another, as if I was determined to eat this melon.

Naturally, that fairy monarch was also included.

Xianjun's face is indeed great. Before he showed up, the seat was reserved on purpose, which also made Jiang Beiran more and more sure that this person should be the Profound Sage.

"Old Ghost Shi, everyone who should be here has arrived, how do you plan to compare?"

At this time, the first middle-aged man in the conference hall who jumped out to provoke Shi Weiyi shouted.

The two are obviously old acquaintances, Shi Weiyi turned around and said: "Fang Tou, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't talk, since you want to be the first bird, then you come first."

"I'll come first, so I'll come first." The middle-aged man looked at an old man behind him and said, "Master, this time it depends on your performance."

The old man nodded after listening.

"So what is the comparison?" The middle-aged man looked at Shi Weiyi again and asked.

Shi Weiyi looked at Jiang Beiran and threw the question to him.

Jiang Beiran had no choice but to take a step forward. Just as he was about to speak, the system option popped up.

[Option 1: Cup your hands at the old man and say, "It's better to let the seniors come up with the questions." Completion reward: Shan Hai Ming Lu (earth-level mid-level)]

[Option 2: "Respect the old and love the young, senior, whatever you are good at, I will accompany you." Completion reward: Wuding secret map (earth-level low-grade)]

[Option 3: "Compare one by one? Then when will the competition be done, or you can do it together." Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]

'? '

'How did you put it on? '

These three options are true and show up to Jiang Beiran, but the system suddenly changed its low-key route and pretended to be.

And it's more secure than pretending that the bigger it is, the truth makes Jiang Beiran a little confused.

'Does this mean that everyone will be stunned as soon as I make a move? '

Jiang Beiran thought about it, and this was the only reason. After all, the system had expressed its attitude from the beginning this time. This time it was up to him to save the world, and it would definitely not work to keep a low profile.

Jiang Beiran, who wanted to understand the meaning, chose the third one, stretched his waist pompously, stepped forward and looked around and said, "Compare one by one? Then when will the competition be, or you can go up together."

[Optional task completed, reward: Constitution +1]

"..."

Obviously, this remark stunned everyone. People in the Shi family who were familiar with Jiang Beiran were shocked by the contrast, while those big bosses who didn't know Jiang Beiran hadn't seen the junior in front of them for a long time Crazy, some did not react for a while.

"Okay! What an arrogant brat!"

It was that square head who was the first to react, and he continued angrily: "As expected of the people taught by Shi Laogui, they are indeed in the same line."

Then the other bosses also reacted one after another, and directly released their coercion, intending to teach this domineering young man a lesson.

But this time, without waiting for Jiang Beiran to resist himself, Shi Weiyi stood in front of him to block the wave of coercion and said with a smile: "It is agreed that it is alchemy, what are you going to do?"

"Your people are a little rude, I'm just teaching you a lesson." An old man holding a folding fan said.

Shi Weiyi curled his lips at the old man, and said with a smile: "I don't think he is impolite, and secondly, even if he is really rude, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson, right?"

Without waiting for the person on the opposite side to retaliate, Jiang Beiran took the initiative to bypass Shi Weiyi and took a step forward: "Seniors, please don't misunderstand, the younger generation just thinks that your time is precious, and it is not worth wasting it on this boring competition, why not Just let it end quickly."

After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he took out the Golden Crow Ding from the Qiankun Ring and smashed it on the ground.

After hearing the loud sound of "Dang", everyone's eyes were attracted.

Since the system's intention is to act in a high-profile manner, Jiang Beiran will never hide it, and strive to achieve the effect of shocking everyone.

"Good tripod!"

For a moment, several alchemists spoke at the same time.

As alchemists, it can be said that they have dealt with the medicine cauldron all their lives, so just by looking at it, they knew that Jiang Beiran's cauldron was not ordinary.

One of the old men walked out of the crowd and said to Jiang Beiran: "Old man Cheng Hanqiu has been involved in alchemy for more than 60 years, and this is the first time he has seen such a good tripod. I wonder if this young man will let me take a closer look. enjoy to the full."

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran smiled and said: "Senior Cheng is a man of knowledge, so please come forward and have a look, and wait for the junior to explain the benefits of this tripod to you in detail."

"Thank you!" Cheng Hanqiu bowed his hands towards Jiangbei, and immediately stepped forward, ignoring the middle-aged man beside him who kept winking at him.

After all, for an alchemist, this alchemy stove is a guy who eats, it can be said that he is closer than his own wife, and they are all guest officials, not to mention sitting on an equal footing with these high-level officials, and there is no need to act according to their faces.

"This...could it really be the Golden Crow Ding?" Cheng Hanqiu asked in surprise after looking carefully at the Golden Crow Ding for a while.

In fact, when Jiang Beiran just smashed the tripod on the ground, he had vaguely seen that it was one of the legendary nine tripods. It was only because there were many places that were different from what was recorded in the book, so he didn't dare to recognize it. Now he is getting closer. It was only then that I was sure that this tripod was the Golden Crow Ding, but it was true that a lot of changes had been made.

As soon as they heard the words "Golden Wuding", the rest of the alchemists couldn't sit still, they all stood up and surrounded Jiang Beiran, expressing their amazement.

At this situation, Shi Weiyi smiled instantly. He looked at those big bosses with ugly faces, and the expression on his face seemed to say: "Look at your Keqing, who has never seen the world."

The reason why the scene became like this is also very simple. Although the legend of the Nine Cauldrons has been circulating on the Xuanlong Continent, most of them have been buried like the Golden Crow Cauldron, and no one has discovered it so far.

If it weren't for the fact that the current alchemy king really possessed one of them, everyone would have read the legend of Jiuding as a story.

So when they heard that this was the Golden Crow Cauldron among the Nine Cauldrons, how could they be willing to miss such a precious opportunity for the sake of face.

At this time, Fang Tou was the first to be unable to bear it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Today is a competition of alchemy skills, not a competition of cauldrons!"

Jiang Beiran replied with a smile after hearing this: "I didn't intend to compare the tripod at first, but the seniors want to take a closer look. Am I not sure?"
