I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 110
Chapter 110 The Goddess of Luck Would Only Favor Him Once
“How generous! These are tier five spirit medicines that even the mystic king wants to fight for. This little friend took out four of them like they were nothing. He is really straightforward. Sigh, having a good master is really awesome. He would exchange the medicine given by his master for a gift for his master. When his master was happy, he might even reward him with more tier five spirit herbs. This business… is profitable!”
Qi Wenlin wanted to tell him about the origin of this cauldron and how good its effects were, but he added that they were still using this cauldron a lot, and he didn’t really want to sell
it.
However, Jiang Beiran’s four tier five spirit medicines surprised him. If he still didn’t do this deal, then he would simply be an idiot.
After sorting out his emotions, Qi Wenlin stroked his beard and said, “Alright, since you’re so straightforward, let’s make the deal.”
“Thank you, President Qi.”
Jiang Beiran’s words of gratitude were sincere. He was thankful that President Qi didn’t harbor any ill intentions towards him when he saw the tier five spirit medicines. Otherwise, the system would have definitely gave him the option before he took out two tier five spirit medicines.
Regardless of whether it was his “master” who had scared Qi Wenlin, or he was truly a nice person, Jiang Beiran was finally able to do a “big deal” on his own. This was a milestone for him.
After passing the blue crystal bottle containing the two Jade Toad Pills and the black jade bottle containing the two Mystic-breaking Pills to Qi Wenlin, Jiang Beiran took out a silver storage ring and said, “Then I’ll take this Peacock Cauldron.”
Feeling the dense spiritual energy of the grade five spirit herbs in the two bottles, Qi Wenlin nodded and said, “Of course, it’s yours.”
Therefore, the silver storage ring in Jiang Beiran’s hand flashed, and the Peacock Cauldron was put into the storage ring. After obtaining the Peacock Cauldron, Jiang Beiran was just about to ask if there was any good charcoal when he saw the system option pop up again.
( Option 1: ask if there is good charcoal. Reward for completion: Seven Stars Technique (yellow grade, high tier)]
[ Option 2: Ask if there are tier 5 supplementary materials. Reward for completion: Empty Pine Technique (yellow grade, high tier)]
[ Option 3: Don’t ask anything. Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1]
“Well, it seems that my good luck here ends here today. If I continue to ask, he might really feel resentment when I reject him again. Then, I’ll be in trouble.”
After the transaction was successful, the two of them returned to the private room. Qi Wenlin was just about to refill Jiang Beiran’s teacup, but when he thought of Jiang Beiran’s “average” comment on his tea earlier, he withdrew his hand and said, “Little friend, what tea do you like to drink? I’ll get someone to prepare it immediately.”
“No need for the trouble. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to take my leave now.”
“Little friend, don’t be in a hurry to leave. Look, we just completed a transaction. It can be considered a pleasant cooperation, right? The favor that I mentioned just now, to you, little friend…”
“No.” Jiang Beiran decisively refused, not giving Qi Wenlin any leeway at all.
Qi Wenlin’s smile instantly froze on his face, and he silently repeated in his heart, ‘He can take out a tier five spirit pill, he can take out a tier five spirit pill, he can take out a tier five spirit pill…’
After adjusting his emotions, Qi Wenlin sat back down and asked, “Then, little friend, can you leave a letter exchange address? In the future, if there’s a good cauldron, I can contact you again.”
“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you to lend me a pen and paper.”
When he heard that Jiang Beiran had finally agreed to his request, Qi Wenlin instantly felt elated. However, on second thought, he should be the elder who rejected him! When he thought of this, Qi Wenlin silently recited “He can take out a tier five spirit pill, he can take out a tier five spirit pill…” several times
Jiang Beiran took the pen and paper from Qi Wenlin with a smile. He could feel that Qi Wenlin had forced a smile on his face. It seemed that he had almost crossed his bottom line. He should leave as soon as possible after he finished writing.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Beiran wrote down the address of Wen District on the paper. Although he only had one house with the land of spiritual essence, he had plenty of houses without the land of spiritual essence. Those houses were not empty either. He asked Gu Qinghuan to arrange some homeless people to live in the house. They would help him clean the house and collect the letters.
Even if someone traced it back, they wouldn’t find anything, because the people living in the house had never seen Jiang Beiran. As for Gu Qinghuan, they didn’t even know Gu Qinghuan really is.
Taking the paper and pen from Jiang Beiran, Qi Wenlin looked at the words on the paper and said in surprise, “Good handwriting! Little friend, you are indeed a wonderful person.”
“Thank you for your praise, President Qi. Then, I will take my leave now. Thank you for your hospitality today. I can’t thank you enough.”
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. Then, I’ll send you out.”
“There’s no need to, president. I know the way.”
“That Mystic Sun Immortal Herb is still hanging outside. I’ll have to help you take it down.”
“In that case, I’ll have to trouble you.”
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
Returning to the hall, Jiang Beiran realized that the surrounding disciples had not dispersed. When he saw Jiang Beiran come out, he immediately cheered, “Brother, are you alright?”
“Did the people inside make things difficult for
you?”
“Don’t tell me they’re still going to go back on their word?”
After listening to a series of questions, Jiang Beiran replied, “President Qi only wanted to test me, he didn’t mean any harm. He even taught me a lot of things just now. If everyone wants to find a fellow guild to join, I think this place is a very good choice.”
“I see. This president is too eager for talent.”
“After all, with brother’s level, anyone with a discerning eye knows how powerful he is.”
“Since brother has recommended this place, then I will go and register for the guild in a while.”
Jiang Beiran’s words made Qi Wenlin feel rather happy in his heart. The small resentment that he felt from being rejected several times earlier also dissipated. Taking down the Mystic Sun Immortal Herb hanging on the hanging beam, Qi Wenlin solemnly handed it to Jiang Beiran and said, “Congratulations, little friend. I believe that this Mystic Sun Immortal Herb will be in good use in your hands.” “Thank you, President Qi.”
When he received the Mystic Sun Immortal Herb with both hands, Jiang Beiran used his mental strength to sweep across Liu Zijin and the other three who were still hiding in the crowd. Thus, he made a decision in his mind without batting an eyelid.
“It seems that I have been too kind to them. I must find a way to scare them later. Otherwise, these five golden flowers will become more and more unscrupulous.”
After keeping the Mystic Sun Immortal Herb into his storage ring, Jiang Beiran bid farewell to President Qi. Then, he cupped his hands to the other disciples whom he had just met by chance. After saying “Hope we’ll meet again”, he left the alchemist guild.
Not long after, Wu Qingce, who was in the crowd, quietly followed him out. It could be said that no one had noticed his existence from the beginning to the end.
Liu Zijin and the other three did not follow him out because they knew that since the three Yu Sisters were easily discovered by Jiang Beiran last time, they would definitely be noticed by Jiang Beiran. They did not want to anger Jiang Beiran again.
After leaving the alchemist guild, Jiang Beiran went to another guild to try his luck. Unfortunately, the system gave the options to him every time he wanted to check out the other guilds. In the end, he did not manage to find any new treasures, he refreshed his attribute points to his heart’s content.
“As expected, the goddess of luck will not continue to favor me. I should wait for the auction tonight to see what surprises will come.”
