At Xushi, Jiang Beiran left Shuijingtang and went straight back to the back mountain in Shi Fenglan's reluctant farewell. When he went up the mountain, he heard a flute sound from a distance.
So Jiang Beiran quickened his pace and came outside the formation he had set up.
"It's Qing Huan who's back." Jiang Beiran greeted with a smile when he saw the flute player at the door.
Hearing senior brother's voice, Gu Qinghuan put down the jade flute, turned around and saluted Jiang Bei respectfully, "See you senior brother."
"Go, go up and talk."
Taking Gu Qinghuan back to the Purple Bamboo Garden, Jiang Bei poured two glasses of Moonlight White first, put a cup in front of Gu Qinghuan and said, "Is the trip going well?"
"Thank you, senior brother." Taking the teacup with both hands, Gu Qinghuan put down the big box behind his back and cupped his hands, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, senior brother, I brought back everything you wanted."
"Everything on the list?"
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan nodded.
"Very good, you are still as good as ever." Jiang Beiran said with great satisfaction.
Gu Qinghuan was a new student brought by Jiang Beiran when he was an iron seal three years ago. During the process of getting to know him, Jiang Beiran knew that he was neither the second generation nor had any great talent for cultivation. He was picked up into the sect just like himself.
Later, during the trial, Gu Qinghuan's alertness and calmness made him appreciate him very much. Even if he was absent, Gu Qinghuan could still take on the responsibility of the temporary captain very well.
This made Jiang Beiran think about accepting him as his right-hand man, and it was the first time Jiang Beiran took the initiative to do so.
Later, Gu Qinghuan passed the various tests secretly arranged by Jiang Beiran very smoothly, and more importantly, the system did not jump out of any unfavorable options after accepting him as a helper.
So Jiang Beiran showed his cards to Gu Qinghuan, told him part of his strength and plans, and asked him if he wanted to follow him.
Gu Qinghuan was also very happy, and bowed to Jiangbeiran on the spot without saying a word of nonsense.
This made Jiang Beiran even more satisfied, because he knew that a smart person like Gu Qinghuan must be watching him secretly, but he didn't say it out, and he didn't use any high-spirited words to show his ability. take care of."
Jiang Beiran admires this kind of person who can hide his intelligence in his heart instead of superficially.
Jiang Beiran had already arranged for Wu Qingce to collect wild natural materials and treasures, which required more force. Therefore, the task given to Gu Qinghuan was to exchange idle or unnecessary things in his hands with useful ones through transactions.
The reward was the same as Wu Qingce's, and Jiang Beiran would tailor weapons, armors, and pills for him.
In the next three years, Gu Qinghuan's performance was as good as Jiang Beiran imagined. Not only was he able to complete the tasks he had given him every time, but he also used the limited resources he gave him to accumulate a powerful family in the sect. His contacts have pulled up a huge trading network, which can be said to be very powerful.
After drinking tea, Jiang Beiran picked up Gu Qinghuan's box on the ground and waved to him, "Go, I'll show you a good place."
After climbing over two hillsides, Jiang Beiran brought Gu Qinghuan to the new training place he got from the hall master.
"I've already set up the formation and planted the purple bamboo. If you want to practice then, you can come here."
Seeing the hut and yard built in front of him, Gu Qinghuan turned to Jiangbei and saluted solemnly: "Brother, I will be grateful for your kindness!"
It has to be said that God is always fair. Although Gu Qinghuan is far wiser and more mature than his peers, he is far behind in terms of cultivation.
Three years later, he was only at the second level of Xuan Zhe, and although his progress speed was not slow, it was only average. With such qualifications, it was difficult to apply for the cultivation site in the back mountain.
But Gu Qinghuan is a very strong person. Although he is not talented, he still works very hard. He has been working hard to practice while completing various tasks given to him by Jiang Beiran.
Now that he finally got the training place he had dreamed of, he was extremely excited.
"Of course, you also have to take responsibility for taking care of them." Jiang Beiran took out a black jar from the box and opened the lid. Inside was a palm-sized ghost-faced spider with gray fluff.
The ghost-faced spider that saw the light immediately crawled out along Jiang Beiran's hand, and bit his arm.
However, no matter how hard it tried, its teeth could not break through Jiang Beiran's skin at all. Just as the unyielding ghost-faced spider was about to continue exerting force, it suddenly felt itself flying into the air.
"Tsk tsk, you are not good, I didn't do anything to you, why bite me?"
The ghost-faced spider naturally couldn't understand what Jiang Beiran was saying. Its eight legs and a pair of chelicerae kept waving in the air, as if flustered.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, come, let me see what kind of appearance you are." Jiang Beiran said while putting it in the palm of his hand to observe carefully.
"Hmm... about 12 centimeters long, it should be a male. The cephalothorax is shorter than the abdomen..." Jiang Beiran said, stretching out his hand and peeling off the fluff on the spider's abdomen.
Then Jiang Beiran turned the ghost-faced spider over and looked at its back, and found that there was a layer of breastplate under the fluff on its back, which meant that it had at least one level of strange beast cultivation.
Where did the ghost-faced spider that was turned over and over by Jiang Beiran ever experience such humiliation? The eight one-eyed eyes turned around anxiously, and soon it found a chance to turn over and sprayed spider silk at Jiang Beiran with all its strength.
But Jiang Beiran, who had already expected this situation, grabbed the spider silk with his right hand.
"That's it? It's not sticky enough, below the average level. It seems that it can't be used to make utensils." Rubbing his fingers, Jiang Beiran said disappointedly.
Gu Qinghuan, who was feeling the aura here, heard his senior brother say that this spider is not good, and quickly cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, senior brother, I will definitely choose more seriously next time."
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Jiang Beiran waved his hand at Gu Qinghuan, "This ghost-faced spider looks pretty good, and the poison should be strong enough. As for the spider silk, it's just a bonus, so it doesn't matter if it doesn't work."
Although the ghost-faced spider couldn't understand what Jiang Beiran was saying, she always felt very upset, so she bit down on Jiang Beiran's index finger fiercely.
But the result is still the same, it can't even bite the skin of the finger.
After initially observing the ghost-faced spider, Jiang Beiran knelt down and put it on the ground.
The ghost-faced spider that suddenly regained its freedom didn't care what the reason was, it pulled up its eight legs and ran towards the grass next to it. However, just as it was about to burrow into the grass, a big hand descended from the sky and caught it in the air again.
"The speed is good, it can be used for sneak attack."
There is no muscle in the spider's legs, but it is filled with a liquid, and the spider can adjust the pressure of this liquid at any time to control the movement of its eight legs, so it can move forward and backward freely on the spider web.
If there is physics in this world, then Jiang Beiran will tell them that it is called hydraulic transmission.
And whether a spider’s speed is fast enough depends on its mastery of pressure. Talent is also very important. Some spiders are born with eight legs. The liquid in their legs is different from other spiders. The speed, and the ghost-faced spider in Jiang Beiran's hand is obviously such a talented player.
"Not bad, not bad, it still has potential, and it will definitely be better if you raise it again."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Beiran put the ghost-faced spider back into the black jar.
