[ Option 1: Directly reject Shi Fenglan. Reward: Spirit Serpent Scripture (black grade middle tier)]

[ Option 2: Tactfully reject Shi Fenglan. Reward: Star Illusion Book (yellow grade low tier)]

[ Option 3: Accept the gift. Reward: Random basic skill points + 1] “Eh!?”

Looking at the three options in front of him, Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but feel a headache. “Something’s wrong…”

After spending so much time with the system, Jiang Beiran knew that avoiding shady things was the highest priority of the system when it gave options, and now there were already two options that didn’t allow him to avoid it.

Jiang Beiran still remembered the last time when the system “didn’t play by the rules” like this, he almost fell into a big trap, and now it was obvious that another big trap was waiting for him.

“It definitely has something to do with that stupid competition of the Sect of Masked Moon…’

However, the system still let him go around that Big Pit in the end last time, so Jiang Beiran believed that he should be able to avoid danger this time.

‘Mm, I have to be careful enough.’

After choosing option 3, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands towards Shi Fenglan and said, “If Order Master Shi has given me a defensive magical item, I will be eternally grateful.”

Seeing Jiang Beiran’s reaction, Yu Manwen was very surprised. She was surprised that Jiang Beiran would ask for the treasure. “Such a mysterious disciple…”

On the other side Shi Fenglan heard that Jiang Beiran did want some items, she could not help but grin.

“Hey! Little Beiran you want a protective magical item right ~” Shi Fenglan said jumped down from the chair excitedly rubbed her hands, “Then you have to make me happy.”

“Cough!” Yu Manwen coughed heavily when she saw Shi Fenglan’s undignified look.

Her shoulders trembled slightly. Shi Fenglan then restrained her expression and said, “How about this? If you can teach me more interesting gambling games, I’ll give you a good one.”

Jiang Beiran nodded and replied, “Alright, then it’s a deal.”

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Carving + 1]

“Alright! Come, come, come, watch me. Iron Beggar, slaughter everyone! Give me another…” Shi Fenglan was about to roll the dice when she saw Yu Manwen’s gaze sweeping over.

“Hehe, just one round, just one round.”

Even though Yu Manwen knew that Chivalrous Hero was not a gambling game, she had to keep criticize Shi Fenglan so that Shi Fenglan would be convinced that Chivalrous Hero was gambling game. “One last round.” Yu Manwen raised an index finger and pointed it at Jiang Beiran. “And you, Jiang Beiran, don’t you dare to continue to corrupt our Order Master.”

“Yes, I understand.” Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and spoke. But after saying that, he secretly winked at Shi Fenglan with his left eye, making her laugh.

At night, when he returned to his own room in the Order of Blue Heart, Jiang Beiran first took out the internal cultivation method that his senior brother had given him.

When he came back last night, he was really too tired, so he fell asleep without even looking at it.

“Abstruse Stars Technique…” After lightly reciting the name of the internal cultivation method, Jiang Beiran slowly opened the first page.

After about five minutes, Jiang Beiran had roughly understood this internal cultivation method. He discovered that the internal cultivation method described in this book was completely opposite to the Rhymed Formula of Returning Hearts.

The main function of the Rhymed Formula of Returning Hearts was to absorb the spiritual essence of all living things to convert it into mystic energy to nourish the body. On the other hand, the Abstruse Stars Technique was to train the body with all its might, training the body to the point where it could absorb the spiritual essence, or to even produce the spiritual essence on its own.

“I didn’t expect there to be such an internal cultivation method…”

The Land of the Black Dragon was filled with many sects, big and small. Regardless of the size of their territory or their strength, every person who could establish a sect had some self-created internal cultivation method or move. To put it nicely, all of these sects were diverse was like a hundred flowers blooming at the same time. To put it in rudely, it was like a pot of poor stew mixed of everything.

There were some internal cultivation methods that were easy to learn at the beginning, but after a long period of practice, one’s meridians would be broken. There were also some internal cultivation methods that were even more ridiculous. There was a total of nine levels, but only the first tier of the internal cultivation method was the most powerful. If one practiced this kind of internal cultivation method longer, the weaker it became.

Therefore, many people didn’t dare to practice it even if they jumped off the cliff and obtained a secret manual. They were deeply afraid that the person in the cave was die from practicing this internal cultivation method.

However, Jiang Beiran trusted Brother Lu very much. He believed that the internal cultivation method that Brother Lu had given him must have been verified by someone else, so he would definitely be able to practice it without worry. “Senior brother is so thoughtful. He actually managed to find a completely different internal cultivation method from the Rhymed Formula of Returning Hearts because he thinks that the Rhymed Formula of Returning Hearts is unsuitable for me. In that case, the completely opposite internal cultivation method will definitely allow me to make a breakthrough…”

Closing the book, Jiang Beiran put the Abstruse Stars Technique back into his storage ring. He felt a warmth in his heart.

Then, Jiang Beiran took out a wooden board from under the bed. Jiang Beiran began to think about what new “gambling game” he should design.

Dong!

Just as Jiang Beiran was about to come up with the prototype of the “new gambling game”, he suddenly heard a crisp knocking sound coming from the wooden door. It was not someone knocking on the door, but someone throwing pebbles at the door. And the only person who would do that was Lin Yuyan. After putting the wooden board away, Jiang Beiran walked over and opened the door.

“Good evening, Brother Jiang. Sorry to bother

you.”

As soon as she saw the door open, Lin Yuyan immediately sent a voice transmission to Jiang Beiran.

Jiang Beiran nodded in the direction of the opposite hillside.

In the darkness, she saw her senior brother’s face, which she had not seen for a long time. Lin Yuyan tried hard to control herself so that she did not lose her composure. During this period of time, she could be said to be extremely depressed. The Order of Blue Heart somehow had cooperation with the Order of Water Mirror, which made the Order of Blue Heart extremely lively all day long. It made it impossible for her to sneak in and greet her senior brother like she usually did.

It was not easy for her to find an opportunity to sneak in at night, but she found that her senior brother had not been around. However, she figured it out after thinking for a while. Her senior brother had always hated crowded places. Therefore, he must have found another place to relax.

Although this discovery made Lin Yuyan feel upset, she was also a little relieved. After all, the female disciples of the Order of Water Mirror were well-known throughout the whole sect. If her senior brother, a perfect man like him, was discovered by those women, she would have a lot of competitors then.

“Hu…” suppressing the joy of finally seeing her senior brother, Lin Yuyan continued to transmit her voice, “No… I wonder where Brother Jiang has been staying for the past few days?”

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran stood inside the door and shook his head.

Knowing that her senior brother didn’t want to answer this question, Lin Yuyan sighed in her heart and asked again, “Then do you know about the gathering of young heroes organized by Sect of Masked Moon?”

“It seems that this matter has already become the hottest news in the sect.” Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran nodded at Lin Yuyan.

“Here’s the thing, I’ve been selected as a representative disciple by our Order Master. Not only do I have to compete in martial arts, but I also have to participate in a calligraphy competition, so I have a request… oh no, I sincerely hope that you can give me some pointers, I wonder if it’s possible?”

As soon as Lin Yuyan finished speaking, Jiang Beiran picked out three options in front of him.

[ Option 1: Directly reject Lin Yuyan. Reward for completion: Cleansing Treasure Technique (black grade middle tier)]

[ Option 2: Express that you want to consider it. Reward for completion: Fallen Leaf Sword Manual (yellow grade low tier)]

( Option 3: “What reward can you give me?” Random basic attribute points + 1]
