‘The Dragon Stream Jade carved like this actually has the effect of suppressing spirits… It’s far stronger than the Dragon Stream Jade made using the nephrite method. It’s really a rare and ingenious technique. Where did he learn it from…’

Gao Lanwen studied the Longxi Jade in her hand carefully, marveling at its exquisiteness in her heart.

Although Gao Lanwen wanted to ask for advice on the gorgeous skills that she had never seen before… No, he had asked Jiang Beiran about it, but the pride in her heart had rejected such a thought.

Shi Hongfang, who was sitting next to Gao Lanwen, felt that his chance to show off had come!

Standing up and walking to Jiang Beiran’s side, Shi Hongfang said in a low voice that was loud enough to reach Gao Lanwen’s ears,””Bei Ran, the old ancestor was right about you. Not only did you set up a formation that even the old man praised, but you also displayed a skill that even Director Gao has never seen before.”

“Senior, you flatter me. I only know some techniques that are rarely known.”

“You don’t have to be humble in front of me. How about I make a deal with you?”

“Senior, if you have anything to say, you can just give the order.”

“Heh.” Shi Hongfang snorted with his nose.” Don’t. Do you think I don’t know you? If I don’t give you some benefits, I’m afraid you won’t give it your all.” “Then Senior has really misjudged me.”

“There’s no need to say more.” Stopping Jiang Beiran from continuing, Shi

Hongfang leaned in and whispered,””You want the K itigarbha True Crystal?”

“You already know about this?”

However, Jiang Beiran had previously made a guess that the Shi family was not monitoring him, and the possibility was very high. As for how Shi Hongfang knew that he needed the Earth Bodhisattva Vital Crystal…

‘It probably guessed it when Shi Fenglan stole it from home.’

[Option 1:”Absolutely not.” [Completion Reward: White Phoenix Divine Seal (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]

[Choice 2:”Senior, how did you know?”[Completion Reward: Elixir Heart Technique (Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Choice 3:” Senior, you’re really good at predicting things. I really need the K $ itigarbha True Crystal.”[Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

After looking through the three options, Jiang Beiran chose the bottom three and replied,””Senior, you are truly wise. This junior really needs the K itigarbha True Crystal.”

[Mission completed. Reward: Agility +1]

“Hmm?”

Shi Hongfang had not expected Jiang Beiran to agree so readily. He had thought that even if Jiang Beiran did not pretend to be dumb, he would at least hide something.

Initially, Shi Hongfang had thought that if Jiang Beiran continued to hide, he would give him some difficult questions to let him know that if he wanted to obtain the treasure in the Shi family, he had to build a good relationship with him first.

To build a good relationship, sincerity was of course the most important.

However, he did not expect Jiang Beiran to not hide anything this time. He did not even have the intention to refuse. He directly expressed his strong desire.

‘Is this what he meant by retreating when it’s time to retreat and advancing when it’s time to advance? There’s indeed some skill…

But no matter what, this was a sign of Jiang Beiran’s goodwill towards him.

Shi Hongfang nodded in satisfaction and said, “‘Alright, since you want it, I’ll use it as a bargaining chip to make this deal with you.”

Although he already knew what Shi Hongfang wanted to do, Jiang Beiran still pretended not to know and asked, “‘May I know what Senior needs my help with?” “Go and talk to Director Gao about the Double Hook Grinding Method.”

‘Good fellow…’

Although Jiang Beiran had already guessed what Shi Hongfang was up to, he still felt a little emotional when he thought about how this man was really going to use a precious treasure from the List of Rare Treasures to pick up girls.

” You people from big families really spend a lot of money to pick up girls!’

Jiang Beiran, who was complaining in his heart, cupped his hands at Shi Hongfang and said,””This is just a small matter. It really isn’t worth a K itigarbha True Crystal, so I really don’t dare to accept it.”

“If I say you can take it, then you can. Besides, the deal doesn’t end here. There are other things for you to do next.” “In that case…Junior understands.”

“Alright, then go quickly.”

Shi Hongfang had indeed controlled his voice very well. Gao Lanwen had indeed heard their conversation very clearly, word for word.

Therefore, when Jiang Beiran walked towards her, Gao Lanwen immediately pretended to be looking at the jade seriously, as if she had not heard their conversation.

“Director Gao.” Jiang Beiran walked up to Gao Lanwen and cupped his hands.

“What is it?” Gao Lanwen slowly raised her head and asked.

“You seem to be very interested in this Double Hook Grinding Method. Why don’t you…”

“Who said I was interested in your technique?”Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to finish, Gao Lanwen replied disdainfully,” Your technique is indeed quite outstanding at first sight, but if you think about it carefully, it’s actually not much different from the Scythe Technique. It’s just that the way you perform it is different.”

Gao Lanwen replied with a hint of satisfaction. Although she had not figured out the essence of Jiang Beiran’s technique, she was a dignified Grade Eight Jade Refinement Master. How could she ask for advice from an unknown kid?

If word got out, she would lose all her face.

As soon as Gao Lanwen finished speaking, three options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.

[Choice 1: Debate with Gao Lanwen about the difference between the two techniques. [Completion Reward: Water Cloud Ghost Scroll (Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank)]

[Option 2:” Since Director Gao is not interested, I will take my leave. “[Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

Jiang Beiran comfortably chose the second option and replied, “”Since Director Gao is not interested, I will take my leave..”
