I Just Won’t Play By The Book

Chapter 177 Tears of Relief 2

“I remember that.”

“Okay, say it once.”

“Master said that all metals are poisonous. If you don’t remove the poison of a pill completely, you might accidentally harm or even kill someone who consume the pill.”

“Very good. Although your Jade Qilin Body can dissolve part of the poison of the pills, when you refine those higher tier pills in the future, it will not be so easy to remove the poison in the pills. So, while I’m teaching you how to refine this purple spirit pill, I have decided to teach you another method to refine pills. It is called the Frost Toad Technique.”

Luo Wenzhou was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately picked up the pen in his hand and prepared to record.

“Silver wood turns into sand, fang pointed to the six southern six bright fire, external yang but internal yin…”

At this moment, Wu Qingce, who was listening from the corner of the tent, suddenly felt sleepy. There was nothing he could do. The alchemy method his senior brother mentioned was too profound. The more he listened to it, the more confused he became. The more confused he became, the sleepier he became.

Glancing at Wu Qingce, who was “On the verge of collapse,” Jiang Beiran could not help but think of those deskmates in primary school who tried hard not to let him fall asleep. That struggling little expression of theirs was really fascinating However, Jiang Beiran didn’t have any intention of waking Wu Qingce up. After all, everyone had their own specialty. How could there be so many all-rounder talents in the world? The best way was to have them specialized in their own specialty. Jiang Beiran taught them until the sun rose in the morning. Wu Qingce, who was squatting in the corner, was already sound asleep, Jiang Beiran cooked a bowl of porridge for Luo Wenzhou and said, “I’ll give you three more days to investigate the other three big families in Jiyuan Town.”

“Yes.” Luo Wenzhou, who was still in high spirits after learning alchemy for an entire night, cupped his hands and agreed.

After Luo Wenzhou left, Jiang Beiran scooped out another bowl of porridge and walked into the tent.

He placed the bowl of porridge under Wu Qingce’s nose and shook it. Then, Wu Qingce’s eyes suddenly open!

Looking at his senior brother’s face, Wu Qingce hurriedly explained, “Brother Jiang… I didn’t mean to fall asleep, it’s…”

“There’s no need to explain, here you go.”

“Thank you, Brother Jiang!” Taking the bowl and spoon, Wu Qingce happily ate.

“What about the question asked you to think about previously?”

Wu Qingce, who was currently gulping down the porridge, immediately put down the bowl and said, “I’ve thought of it.”

“Oh?” Seeing that Wu Qingce did not stun this time, Jiang Beiran actually felt somewhat gratified. He nodded and asked, “Tell me about

it.”

He took a deep breath, Wu Qingce replied, “The last time you left the mountain for the sect, you went to Sect of Masked Moon. Because of your presence, you were able to quell a disaster that could have swept the entire Fengzhou.”

Speaking up to this point, Wu Qingce raised his head and looked at Jiang Beiran before continuing, “So… I think you came here this time because something bad is going to happen as well.”

Wu Qingce lowered his head and finished speaking but did not receive any response from Jiang Beiran. Thus, he carefully raised his head to take a look, only to find that a tear had actually fallen from the corner of his senior brother’s eye.

“Brother Jiang!? What’s wrong with you!? Did I say something wrong? Tell me, I will definitely change…”

Just as Wu Qingce was panicking, Jiang Bei suddenly raised his hand and said to him, “No, you answered it very well. I’m very gratified. Go pack up and prepare to go to Jiyuan Town with me.”

After hearing his senior brother’s words, Wu Qingce didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. he just cupped his hands and said, “Yes.”

Watching Wu Qingce leave, Jiang Bei suddenly raised his hand and wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes. Although some part of the tear was the gratification for growth of Wu Qingce, it was mostly for himself.

If even Wu Qingce could understand this matter, then Lu Yinlong only needed to investigate his five years in the Sect of Returning Hearts. Sooner or later, Lu Yinlong would also notice the danger, and there was even a possibility that he had already thought of something.

Therefore, although Jiang Beiran could still have some free time now, it would be very difficult for him to avoid any major incidents that would affect the sect in the future.

However, Jiang Beiran was also able to accept such a future that was about to come.

First of all, it was getting harder and harder to get more resource from Sect of Returning Hearts. Even the resource of the foot of the mountain was getting fewer and fewer. This made Jiang Beiran, who had not been able to get attribute points for free several times, very unhappy. After all, if he could not get attribute points for free, how could he realize his dream of being invincible in the world?

Secondly, he had already triggered quite a number of earth-rank options recently. However, there had never been an accident like what happened to Lin Yuyan back then, where the lowest difficulty was yellow-rank options.

In other words, he was basically able to manage the simple earth-rank options. As long as he maintained this level of caution in the future, he would definitely be able to deal with more than ten earth-rank options in one go in the future.

“Gan! Why would I set up such a flag!”

In short, the heaven-rank option this time was a pretty good test for him. If he could handle it perfectly, then even if he was targeted by a bunch of big shots in the future, he could fight them back and forth easily.

”Sh*t! Don’t set anymore flag!! After throwing out all the flags in his head, Jiang Beiran walked out of the tent and brought Wu Qingce down the mountain to Jiyuan Town.

Jiyuan Town was indeed the most accessible town in Sipan County. As soon as he walked into Jiang Beiran, he found it extremely lively. There were teahouses, taverns, and workshops on both sides of the street. Not only that, but there were also many small vendors with big umbrellas on the empty land on both sides of the street.

Further in, with the tall city tower as the center, there were rows of houses on both sides of the street. There were foot shops, butcher shops and so on.

However, this time, Jiang Beiran did not come here to shop. As he walked, he listened carefully to the words of the customers in the taverns or teahouses.

“Hey, have you noticed that the young masters of the Ye family rarely come out and have fun recently?”

“Of course. However, with such a big disgrace in the family, I wouldn’t have the face to come out either.”

“Hahaha, those arrogant rich kids have to behave themselves now.”

“Shh, keep your voice down. Although their marriage with the big sect have canceled, they could still kick our a*s.”

“That’s true. Come, come, come. Let’s drink to this happy occasion!”

Jiang Beiran had heard many similar conversations along the way. He could confirm that the Ye family’s reputation in Jiyuan Town was not very good. “Hmm… A few prodigal brothers, unruly and willful sisters. Yup, this is a typical backstory of a main character.”

After getting some information, Jiang Beiran brought Wu Qingce to a forest outside of the town. According to the information provided by Luo Wenzhou, this was the place where the Ye family usually trained their own disciples.

After putting on Suit of Blending In, Jiang Beiran and Wu Qingce jumped onto the tall parasol tree and waited patiently. In the afternoon, a group of young disciples arrived in the forest just like what Luo Wenzhou had said.

Although Jiang Beiran had never seen that Ye Fan before and did not even have a portrait, just by glancing at all the young disciples in the group, he was sure that the disciple walking at the back was definitely Ye Fan. There was a hint of cynicism in his eyes, two hints of arrogance, and three hints of carelessness. He looked like an unruly youth!

The young man stood so out of place in the group, and his long face definitely showed that he was the main character.

“But why isn’t there a ring on his finger… This doesn’t make sense.”

Jiang Beiran stared at the young man’s hand for a long time, but he didn’t find any ancient-looking special ring. This made him very puzzled.

“Did he wear it on his neck?”

While Jiang Beiran was observing Ye Fan, the young men under the tree began to practice.

The content of their practice was very simple. Just like the new disciples in Sect of Returning Hearts, it was to meditate and cultivate qi.

Jiang Beiran used his mind power to observe Ye Fan and found that his cultivation was only at the level 3 of qi refining realm. In other words, after obtaining the annulment buff, his cultivation did not soar like a rocket.

“It doesn’t look like what a main character would do.”

But just as Jiang Beiran was puzzled, he was surprised to find that Ye Gan actually frowned and raised his head to look around, looking very uncomfortable.

“Could it be that he sensed that I was using my mind power to examine him? Is it a coincidence? Or does the main character really have some special ability?”

However, Ye Fan only looked around a little before he closed his eyes again and began to practice his qi.

“Very good, he’s acting more like a main character.”
