Translator: 549690339

He saw that there were at least a dozen young girls playing hide-and -seek with the Profound Sage. The Profound Sage’s eyes were even covered with a piece of cloth.

‘You’re already a f * cking Profound Sage. How can a piece of cloth affect your ability to capture people??’

‘This is probably the so-called sense of ritual…’

Before coming here, Jiang Beiran had imagined all sorts of scenarios when the two of them would meet, but this scene was definitely not one of them.

He had never expected that there would be a pervert among the Profound Sages.

“Ancestor, I’ve brought the person.”Shi Hongfang stepped forward and cupped his hands.

Upon hearing Shi Hongfang’s words, Shi Hongyun tore off half of the blindfold, revealing one eye to size up Jiang Beiran.””Brat, don’t you know how to thank someone when you owe them a favor? You even want me to personally come and ask you?”

Jiang Beiran held back his urge to ridicule the old lady as he watched her embrace him. He cupped his fists and bowed. “Senior is right. Junior was wrong.”

“Hmm, not bad. You didn’t find any random excuses to stall me. Let me guess. The reason why you didn’t come to thank me was that you were afraid that it would be troublesome to build a relationship with my Shi family?”

“Junior wouldn’t dare.”

“You don’t dare? This Lord thinks that you are very bold. You have owed this Lord a favor, yet you still don’t think of repaying me. You are also the first. Do you like to stay in your remote Sheng Country so much?”

[Option 1: Senior, you misunderstood.”[Completion Reward: Zefeng Dark Book (Black Grade High-Rank)]

[Choice 2:” I like it so much.”[Completion Reward: Random Basic Skill Point +1]

‘Why does everyone here like this tone of speech?’

Jiang Beiran ridiculed him for some reason, then chose to answer the second time,””l like it so much.”

[Mission completed. Reward: Spirit infusion +1]

Noticing that Jiang Beiran kept his head raised, Shi Hongfang smiled and said, “”This is the Spirit Illusion Tower, born from the will of our ancestor. You won’t be able to see the end of it even if you wait until tomorrow.”

“Thought?”

Although Jiang Beiran didn’t understand what it meant, it sounded very impressive.

Shi Hongfang had no intention of explaining himself, so he led Jiang Beiran into the tower.

The moment he followed Shi Hongfang into the Spirit Illusion Tower, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood what it meant to be born from one’s thoughts, because a familiar feeling arose in his heart.

‘This is…Self-protection barrier?

Although it was not exactly the same, the feeling of entering the Spirit Illusion Tower was indeed similar to entering the self-protection barrier.

‘Interesting…’

Jiang Beiran had a rough idea of what the Spirit Illusion Tower meant, but he was still unsure.

After climbing up the stairs for about ten floors, a system notification suddenly popped up.

[Option 1: Continue to follow Shi Hongfang. [Completion Reward: True Fire Mystic Record (Earth Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Option 2: Slow down. [Completion Reward: True Metaplasia Technique

(Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Option 3: It means that you can’t crawl anymore. [Completion Reward:

Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

“Hmm?”

The moment he saw the options, Jiang Beiran knew that Shi Hongfang or the old ancestor was secretly testing him. If he continued to climb down as if nothing had happened, they might notice something.

Hence, Jiang Beiran chose the third option and heaved a sigh of relief.””Senior Shi, this junior really can’t climb anymore. This tower… Phew… Phew… How high is it?”

[Mission completed. Reward: Concentration +1]

Shi Hongfang was a little confused when he saw Jiang Beiran suddenly squat down. Any child in the clan could climb up here, but this kid couldn’t?

Just as Jiang Beiran had guessed, the Spirit Illusion Tower had the ability to test one’s talent in cultivation. The higher one climbed, the higher one’s talent would be. There had even been a person who could climb all the way up. It was as if the tower had no end, which proved that there was no end to his talent.

Usually, when the young disciples of the clan climbed the tower, even if they felt that their bodies were about to fall apart, they would still risk their internal organs to continue climbing, just to perform better in front of their ancestor.

Jiang Beiran, on the other hand, had climbed dozens of floors before collapsing. He was basically a useless spirit root among useless spirit roots. He was only slightly stronger than ordinary people who could not cultivate.

‘I shouldn’t…

Logically speaking, this young man has even made the ancestor look at him in a different light. How can he be so unbearable?’

However, seeing that Jiang Beiran’s breathing was getting more and more rapid, Shi Hongfang could only sigh and take out a black bead and wave it.

Jiang Beiran felt the scenery before his eyes change. The seemingly endless flight of stairs had transformed into a large hall in an instant.

After staring at Jiang Beiran for a while, Shi Hong finally opened his mouth and spat out two words.

“Weirdo.”

While Shi Hongfang was feeling puzzled, Jiang Beiran was also analyzing the significance of this choice.

In conclusion, he still had to keep a low profile.

It was not a problem to make a fortune in silence, but the prerequisite was that he had to remain silent. If he revealed his extremely strong cultivation talent, it was estimated that all kinds of top-notch experts would come to find trouble with him under the will of the Heavenly Dao.

But being a BOSS behind the scenes isn’t bad either.’

He would leave the matters of life and death to his subordinates, and he would just sit back and reap the benefits. He would not have to take any risks, but he could also obtain a lot of benefits.

When Jiang Beiran’s breathing gradually became even, Shi Hongfang pulled him up and said,””Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, I didn’t. Thank you for your concern, Senior.” Jiang Beiran shook his head.

“Then let’s go.”

He followed Shi Hongfang to a huge bronze door. Shi Hongfang stretched out his palm and pressed it on the door.

A moment later, with a loud rumble, the bronze door slowly opened, revealing a new world.

“What a different world!”

The bronze gate opened in an instant, and inside it appeared a beautiful scenery, a glazed spring, an apricot flower garden, an eight immortals platform, a five-tower valley, and a cloud and mist, which appeared to be a fairy.

A few beautiful cranes were playing in the water beside the clear spring, adding some spirit to the scenery.

Looking further into the distance, there were thousands of flowers in the sunny place. There were also thousand-year-old locust trees, ten-thousand-year-old pines, mountain peach fruits, wild peony, and drought hibiscus. Each of them was a peerless product in the world. It was unknown whether it was the environment or reality.

If it was true, Jiang Beiran only wanted to say one word.

I’m craving it!

“Old Ancestor is waiting for you in the forest. Follow me.”

Putting aside his astonishment, Jiang Beiran followed Shi Hongfang’s footsteps.

I have not yet walked into the jungle that covers the sky, Jiang Beiran then heard the sound of white birds, parrot whistle, cuckoo cry, magpie through the branches, a great gift of nature.

‘Decided to make, after that, my self-enchantment should also be made according to this standard.’

As Jiang Beiran was recording the various details of the forest, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter.

“Sect Master, I’m here –

“Sect Master, come and eat a cherry.”

“Aiya Sect Master, why are you touching me there again?

The corners of Jiang Beiran’s mouth twitched. He wondered if he was hearing things. There was something wrong with this voice…

When Shi Hongfang heard the voice, he seemed to have found a direction and led Jiang Beiran straight to it.

As the laughter grew louder and louder, Jiang Beiran finally met the Profound Sage of the Shi family who had helped him in the wood spirit vein by a stream.

It was just that… Something was wrong.

He saw that there were at least a dozen young girls playing hide-and-seek with the Profound Sage. The Profound Sage’s eyes were even covered with a piece of cloth.

‘You’re already a f * cking Profound Sage. How can a piece of cloth affect your ability to capture people??’

“Yes, not bad. You didn’t find any random excuses to stall me. Let me guess. The reason why you didn’t come to thank me is that you’re afraid of climbing up the social ladder with my Shi family..
