I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 71 When Did the Sect Have So Many Go Lovers! ?

After taking care of the flowers and feeding the little cuties some food, Jiang Beiran had just returned to the Purple Bamboo Garden when he saw Wu Qingce had already arrived.

“Are you ready?” Jiang Beiran put down the two pots in his hands and asked. “Yes.” Wu Qingce nodded solemnly. “Then follow me.”

Jiang Beiran took Wu Qingce into the storage ring and took out two dark red crystal tusks and placed them in the center of the room.

As the items to support the formations, the crystal tusks of the Flame Sealing Beast had abundant spiritual energy, which could continuously produce the mystic energy needed for the formation.

Then, he put on the golden red paper, crimson cloud crystal, flame lion skin, and other talismans. Then, the spirit-gathering formation took shape.

“Come in.” Jiang Beiran shouted at Wu Qingce who was outside the door.

“Yes.” Wu Qingce cupped his hands respectfully towards Jiang Beiran and slowly walked into the formation room. He knew that these talismans were all very valuable, and his senior brother had arranged them so skillfully. It seemed that Jiang Beiran had long been prepared for his breakthrough.

“I was born to be Brother Jiang’s junior, and I will die…”

“What are you thinking about? Hurry up and sit down.” Seeing Wu Qingce standing there in a daze, Jiang Beiran pulled him over.

After Wu Qingce sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, Jiang Beiran sensed the distribution of the surrounding spiritual essence and said, “Circulate your energy.”

Upon hearing the order, Wu Qingce immediately closed his eyes and began to use the Rhymed Formula of Returning Hearts.

After waiting for a moment, the distribution of the spiritual essence had changed. Jiang Beiran took out five low tier earth spiritual stones from his storage ring and buried them in the five “spiritual springs” of the spirit-gathering formation. At the same time, he arranged the three yellow earth formation flags in a three-flower-shaped formation.

“The formation has been set up. The rest is up

to you.”

“Thank you, Brother Jiang.”

After thanking Wu Qingce, he opened his eyes and saw that his senior brother had already closed the door and left.

“I must not let Brother Jiang down with his meticulous preparations. I must succeed in breaking through this time!’

Having made up his mind, Wu Qingce closed his eyes and used the Rhymed Formula of Returning Hearts with all his might once again.

Although Jiang Beiran had not slept for the whole night, he did not feel very sleepy. Therefore, after tidying up the pill room a little, he returned to the Order of Blue Heart, which he had not been back for some time.

“Where… is this?”

Looking at the Order of Blue Heart, which was crowded with people and filled with loud noises, Jiang Beiran was dumbfounded. The entire Huiyan Peak was so crowded that it reminded Jiang Beiran of the Great Wall he had climbed on national day. He could not move, nor could he retreat.

After crossing the Huiyan Peak, which was filled with disciples from other others, Jiang Beiran finally found a junior brother of his own order. He quickly pulled him over.

“Greetings, Brother Jiang.”

When he found out that it was Jiang Beiran who pulled him over, Liu Yuezhang bowed and greeted him.

“Why are there so many people on Huiyan Peak today?”

“These people are all here to spar with the Order of Blue Heart.”

“What the f*ck…” Jiang Beiran almost swore it out loud. He calmed down for a moment and smiled. “I’ve been in the Order of Blue Heart for five years, but I didn’t know that the Sect of Returning Hearts had so many Go lovers.” Liu Yuezhang also smiled and replied, “Ever since the Order of Blue Heart and the Order of Water Mirror collaborated, the number of disciples who like to play Go has suddenly increased.”

“Okay, I got it. You can go.”

After Liu Yuezhang left, Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

He could almost imagine why this situation would happen. First, playing Go was much easier to learn than musical instruments. After all, no matter how high one’s level was, as long as one knew the rules of Go, they could say that they knew how to play it. Thus, they had a reason to come to the Order of Blue Heart.

However, if they went to the Order of Water Mirror, it would be very awkward if they did not understand music theory or musical instruments.

Secondly, the Order of Water Mirror had its own rules. There was a limit to the number of visits by male disciples, so it would not develop into such an exaggerated situation.

“Sigh, don’t these people need to practice? The higher-ups in the Order of Water Mirror also don’t care…’

Just as Jiang Beiran finished thinking, he saw a blue flag from the Order of Ink and Language pass by him.

“Sigh, the leaders set a bad example and their followers follow suit blindly. This Sect of Returning Hearts is going to be doomed.”

After cursing in his heart, Jiang Beiran returned to the dormitory area. Compared to the crowded outside, this place was much more deserted. Or rather, it was the only place that had not changed at all.

After returning to his own hut, Jiang Beiran opened the door and saw two pieces of paper on the floor.

Bending down to pick it up, Jiang Beiran first looked at the first letter.

[ Gentle wing blow away the heat, luxuriant willow connect the shade ]

Seeing the beginning of the letter, Jiang Beiran knew that Lin Yuyan must have stuffed it in. Using seasonal greetings at the beginning was her usual style.

The content at the end was basically thanks, praising how exquisite the weaving of the straw hat was. Then, she wrote some appreciation in a very formal fashion to him in letter. Jiang Beiran was not used to such formal words.

When he finished reading the last sentence, Jiang Beiran opened the lid of the water tank beside him and took out a sewing book.

Since she chose the Order of Ink and Language when she joined the sect, Lin Yuyan naturally yearned for literature, so she would often give her articles and essays to Jiang Beiran for evaluation.

However, from Jiang Beiran’s point of view, she was simply sending her diary to him to read every once in a while.

After putting away the sewing book, Jiang Beiran looked at the second piece of paper. This piece of paper was not as elegant as Lin Yuyan’s.

[ I failed to find you, so I left this note. ]

It was signed by Lu Bogui.

Jiang Beiran knew that Brother Lu would not come looking for him for no reason, so after putting away the note, he closed the door and went to Order of Flying Feather.

He came to the door of Brother Lu’s house and knocked twice.

“Who is it?” Lu Bogui’s voice came from inside the house.

“It’s me, Beiran.”

“Oh, Beiran.”

As soon as he finished, he heard footsteps.

With a click, the door was opened.

“Greetings, Brother Lu.” Jiang Beiran bowed and greeted.

“Come in and have a seat.”

After pouring a cup of hot tea and placing it beside Jiang Beiran, Lu Bogui asked, “Did you see the note?”

“Yes, I’ve been at the Order of Water Mirror for the past few days, so I was not around.”

“Oh, I heard about the cooperation between the two of you. I also realized that the Order of Blue Heart is indeed much livelier than usual.”

Jiang Beiran laughed bitterly and asked, “May I know why you’re looking for me this time…?”

“It’s a little hard to say. I almost finished the Pill of Lingering Fragrance you gave me last time, but I couldn’t find a substitute for it. So, I have to trouble you again.” “It’s not a problem at all.” Jiang Beiran took out two bottles from the storage ring and put them on the table. “Keep these two bottles for now. I’ll go back and get some more later.”

“It’s enough, it’s enough.” Lu Bogui took out a book from his storage ring and pushed it in front of Jiang Beiran. “I won’t take your pills for free. This is an internal cultivation method book that I found by accident. Take it back and read it, see if you can gain some insights.”
