I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 70

After choosing option 3, Jiang Beiran turned his head and said to Wu Qingce, “Go and clean up those corpses. I'll be back in a while.”

Although Wu Qingce really wanted to see how his senior brother would pick this Thunder Spirit Flower, he still cupped his hands and said, “Yes.”

“You guys go and help too.” Jiang Beiran looked at the three mystic beasts and spoke.

The Thunder Patterned Beast and the Demon Beast were still in a daze when they heard what Jiang Beiran said, but they were taken away by the Blood Shadow Beast. “As expected, such a big commotion will attract some strange big shots.”

Jiang Beiran thought as he put on a pair of asbestos gloves.

Even though he was standing fifty meters away, Jiang Beiran could clearly feel the lightning energy contained within the Thunder Spirit Flower. If he grabbed it with his bare hand, it would probably be like touching a high-voltage wire. Although Jiang Beiran felt that he could endure the electric shock, there was no need suffer the pain.

He quickly walked to the front of the Thunder Spirit Flower. Jiang Beiran squatted down and took out a shovel and began to dig the soil beside it.

“This flower was really something.”

While digging the soil, Jiang Beiran discovered that the Thunder Spirit Flower did not emit the lightning energy it absorbed at all. It was all absorbed by it as nutrients.

After finished digging the soil, Jiang Beiran skillfully used his middle finger and index finger to pinch the stem of the flower and brought it out from the ground.

After putting it into the storage ring, Jiang Beiran came to Wu Qingce's side.

“Let's go.” Jiang Beiran looked at Wu Qingce who was carrying the two corpses and spoke. “Okay.”

Soon, the two people and three beasts left the birch forest, after waiting for Wu Qingce to clean up the six corpses, Jiang Beiran looked at the three beasts and said, “Alright, go back and do your own business.” After saying that, he looked at the Blood Shadow Beast and said, “Don't forget to come over next month.”

The Blood Shadow Beast cried out aggrievedly and nodded, indicating that it understood.

“Go.”

With a wave of Jiang Beiran's hand, the three mystic beasts dispersed. They had come to the birch forest because they had sensed the aura of the Thunder Spirit Flower. Now that the Thunder Spirit Flower was taken by Jiang Beiran, there was naturally no reason for them to continue staying here. Moreover, the human in front of them who could take their lives at any time was still very terrifying. Who knew if he would suddenly change his mind in the next second.

After the three mystic beasts had dispersed, Wu Qingce handed over nine storage rings and said to Jiang Beiran, “Brother Jiang, the belongings of those assassins are all here.”

“Well, the weapons and medicine inside are still worth some money. Take them and let Qinghuan sell them.”

“Yes.” Wu Qingce nodded and kept the nine storage rings. Glancing in the direction of the Birch Leaf Forest, Jiang Beiran turned around and said, “Let's go back.”

He skillfully walked through the mountain paths. From time to time, Jiang Beiran would send out his mind power to check if there were any special treasures around.

“Brother Jiang… Wait, you're too fast.”

Hearing Wu Qingce's shout from behind, Jiang Beiran slowed down a little and waited for him to catch up. He asked, “Why haven't you made any progress in your speed?” “I feel like I've improved a lot… You're just too fast.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Seeing the smile on Jiang Beiran's face, Wu Qingce quickly waved his hand and said, “No, I'm too slow! I'll go back and practice the Rolling Cloud Technique 800 times more.”

Only then did Jiang Beiran nod his head in satisfaction and continue on his journey.

During the day, Jiang Beiran would walk around all kinds of villages and towns and farm a few attribute points. Along the way, he had fought all over the place and triggered option for a total of 11 times, which could be considered quite a bountiful harvest.

[ Option 1: Directly go up the mountain from the main gate. Reward for completion: Thirteen Gods Sword (black grade middle tier)]

[ Option 2: Take a detour to the back of the mountain. Reward for completion: Random basic attribute points + 1]

“F*ck… why do I have to do this once I return?”

As soon as he returned to the bottom of the Sect of Returning Hearts Mountain, two options lit up in front of Jiang Beiran's eyes. After choosing option 2, Jiang Beiran stood still and said to Wu Qingce, “You can go up by yourself. I have some matters to attend to when I return to the back of the mountain.”

After saying that, he took out three porcelain bottles from his storage ring and threw them over.

“The white bottles contain the antidote while the blue and gray bottles contain the things that mystic beasts like. It is up to you to tame the Blood Shadow Beast.”

After steadily catching the three porcelain bottles, Wu Qingce first said, “Thank you, Brother Jiang.” Then, he asked worriedly, “Brother Jiang… You're not planning to let me go see that Blood Shadow Beast alone, are you?”

“Why? Do you still need someone to accompany you?”

“No… The main thing is that I can't beat it. If it goes berserk, I…”

“I've given you the things that scare it. I've also prepared the things it likes. If you're still bitten to death by it, then you can die there. It's not a pity at all.”

“Brother Jiang…”

“Answer properly!”

“Yes! Senior brother, I promise to tame it until it's docile.”

“Mm, that's more like it.” Just as Jiang Beiran was about to walk towards the back of the mountain, he heard Wu Qingce call out to him again.

“Is there anything else?” Jiang Beiran turned around and asked.

“This is the material you asked me to look for the last time. I'm still searching for marrow silver ore, but I've already collected the rest.” Wu Qingce said as he took out a storage ring and handed it to Jiang Beiran.

Jiang Beiran took the ring and nodded. “Well done, but why don't you give it to me after you've collected all the materials?”

“After the fight with Thunder Patterned Leopard, I felt that I was very close to breaking through, so I decided to seclude myself for a week. I was afraid that you might need these materials urgently, so I thought of giving them to you first.”

“Oh? You've comprehended it very quickly. Go back to the hall and report to me later. I'll help you set up a spirit gathering array. It'll be good for your breakthrough.”

Wu Qingce was stunned when he heard that. Then, he immediately cupped his hands and bowed. “Thank you, Brother Jiang!”

However, when he raised his head again, he realized that his senior brother had disappeared.

“He has both virtue and talent, yet indifferent to fame and fortune. He is truly a perfect senior.”

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Strength + 1]

[ Chosen quest completed. Reward: Music + 1]

“What is so dangerous at the main gate? I just stood there for a while and three more options popped up.”

After sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran changed his clothes and went to the backyard to put on asbestos gloves to take out the Thunder Spirit Flower.

After admiring it for a while, Jiang Beiran was ready to plant it in the flower bed. He didn't directly use it to make alchemy because he wanted to get its seeds first.

However, just as he was digging up the soil, the system's three options suddenly appeared in front of him.

( Option 1: Plant the Thunder Spirit Flower here. Reward for completion: Four Deadly Strikes (black grade high tier)]

[ Option 2: Plant the Thunder Spirit Flower in the Mirror Garden. Reward for completion: Evil Slaying Sword (yellow grade high tier)]

[ Option 3: Find another place. Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1]

“Hiss…” Jiang Beiran couldn't help but scratch his head when he saw these three options. “Could it be that this Thunder Spirit Flower can continue to attract lightning?' Jiang Beiran put the Thunder Spirit Flower back into his storage ring after he chose option 3. He wasn't in a hurry anyway, so he would just plant it the next time he found a more suitable place.
