I Just Won't Play By The Book - Chapter 84: Buying a Mansion

Jiang Beiran was busy until dawn. He finally settled all the little cuties that Gu Qinghuan had brought back. At the same time, he also buried the seeds of all kinds of flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard.

“Clap, clap, clap.”

Jiang Beiran patted off the mud on his hands and walked to the newly set up pear-wood table in the middle of the courtyard. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of herbal tea.

“Gulp… Gulp…” He finished the tea in one gulp. The refreshing feeling in his throat made he felt relieved.

“Brother Jiang, I have something to report to you.”

Jiang Beiran put down the teacup and nodded to Gu Qinghuan, “Go ahead.”

“I found another mansion in Jinyao Town a few days ago that meets your requirements.” “Oh? Another one? That’s great. How about this? You go back and rest for a day. Come and look for me at 9 am tomorrow. We’ll go down the mountain to have a look together.”

“I’m not tired yet.” “But I’m tired. Just go back and rest.”

“Yes.”

Gu Qinghuan didn’t insist on staying. He cupped his hands towards Jiang Beiran, turned around, and walked down the mountain.

The next day, Gu Qinghuan arrived at the back of the mountain on time. As soon as he finished saluting, he saw his senior brother throwing a straw hat and a pair of straw sandals at him.

“Put them on.”

Gu Qinghuan immediately changed the straw sandals and straw hat without asking any questions.

Then, Jiang Beiran handed a piece of seared cloth to Gu Qinghuan. Jiang Beiran explained to him, “This magical item is called suit of blending in. It can greatly reduce your presence. You can wear it when you go out in the future.”

Although Jiang Beiran and Gu Qinghuan used to disguise themselves when they went down the mountain, he didn’t put too much effort into concealing himself because he had the system to help him avoid danger. It wasn’t until he was forced by the “five golden flowers” that he finally made this suit.

Since he had already made it, he had to make good use of it.

“Brother Jiang, you are indeed amazing. You can make such a practical magic weapon.” Gu Qinghuan praised him with admiration.

“Let’s go down the mountain.” Jiang Beiran, who was also wearing the suit of blending in, walked down the mountain first. Jinyao Town was not far from the Sect of Returning Hearts. If Jiang Beiran tried his best, he could arrive there around 10 minutes. However, since he had brought Gu Qinghuan with him, they could only walk across the plain.

Halfway through the journey, Gu Qinghuan took out a silver bottle from his storage ring. He poured out a red pill from the bottle and was about to swallow it. Suddenly, he heard Jiang Beiran shouted, “Don’t eat that.” Gu Qinghuan then saw a jade bottle flying towards him.

He quickly reached out to catch it, and Gu Qinghuan heard his senior brother say again, “This is the green spirit pill that I have just refined. Compared to the three spirits pill I gave you before, it can not only help you recover your physical strength, but also speed up the recovery and absorption of your mystic energy.” One of the raw materials for this green spirit pill was the Yu Ling Long that Jiang Beiran had gotten from Shi Fenglan. Three days ago, Jiang Beiran had finally completed its pollination and obtained its flower seed as he wished, so he could use it to make pills. “Thank you.”

After saying that, Gu Qinghuan unscrewed the cork of the bottle, poured out a blue pill, and swallowed it.

“Hiss…”

In an instant, Gu Qinghuan felt the mystic energy in the surroundings, which had been ignoring him, rushing toward him crazily, and quickly replenishing his almost “exhausted” body.

Although Gu Qinghuan wasn’t very talented, he wasn’t weak to the point that he had to take the pill after running a few steps. It was because Jiang Beiran was ridiculously fast that he had to use all his strength to catch up with Jiang Beiran, that was why the mystic energy in his body was quickly depleted. Now that he had swallowed a green spirit pill, Gu Qinghuan felt that his condition had instantly recovered to its peak. He was shocked beyond words.

“Brother Jiang, are you going to sell this green spirit pill? I know that many practitioners are in urgent need of this pill, and they are all willing to pay a high price.”

“I will definitely sell it, but I don’t have many materials to make this green spirit pill right now. Let’s talk about it later.”

“Okay.”

After a while, Gu Qinghuan found that he didn’t lose any of the mystic energy in his body even though he tried his best to use the Rolling Cloud Technique. The reason was that he absorbed the mystic energy faster than he consumed it, this was definitely an unprecedented experience for him.

“It’s amazing… Brother Jiang, the pills you make always amaze me. You’re definitely one of the top masters in the entire Fengzhou.”

Jiang Beiran smiled slightly after hearing that, and replied, “Even if you flatter me, you only have this one bottle. There’s not much left.”

“I meant every word I said,” Gu Qinghuan said firmly with a desolate expression, “It’s a pity that even after eating so many of your good elixirs, my cultivation speed hasn’t improved much. On the other hand, Brother Wu has already broken through to the great mystic practitioner. He’s really amazing.”

“Oh? You’ve already met Qingce?”

“Yes. After I woke up yesterday, Brother Wu came to look for me and gave me a lot of treasures. He said that you asked me to sell them.”

“Oh ~” Jiang Beiran immediately knew that it must be the magical items found on the disciples of the Palace of Killing. “Be careful when selling those things. Don’t cause any trouble.”

“I understand. Brother Wu has already reminded me.”

Nodding, Jiang Beiran looked at Gu Qinghuan’s envious and unwilling expression and suddenly thought of the Abstruse Stars Technique that Brother Lu had given him. Therefore, he said, “A senior brother gave me a very special internal cultivation method. You can practice it when you go back. It might be suitable for you.”.

“Thank you for your concern.”

Then, they talked about other things they had seen and heard. The two of them arrived at Jinyao Town before noon. Under the lead of Gu Qinghuan, Jiang Beiran met a broker in a secluded place.

A broker was like a middleman. He was responsible for selling things that you didn’t need and taking profits from them. The broker was obviously familiar with Gu Qinghuan. After chatting happily for a while, the two of them came to Jiang Beiran together.

“This is the real buyer,” Gu Qinghuan walked to Jiang Beiran’s side and introduced him to the man.

The broker knew that Gu Qinghuan was a very powerful person. Since Jiang Beiran was able to make him an “errand boy,” the broker knew that Jiang Beiran was even more powerful. Therefore, the broker hurriedly took off his hat and saluted, “Greetings, Young Master. My name is Xiong Ba.”

“Well, let’s talk about that mansion.”

“Alright, that mansion was originally owned by a great mystic practitioner, but recently, the great mystic practitioner decided to move to Linzhou due to some unforeseen circumstances. So, he wanted to sell his mansion.” Xiong Ba used his eloquent tongue to describe this mansion as if it was a one-of-a-kind mansion. The most important thing was that there was a place with rich spiritual essence in this mansion.

“I, Xiong Ba, swear on my life that if master finds anything different from what I said after you buy it, feel free to pluck my head.”

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran had the idea of buying this mansion from the broker.

“Oh? The system didn’t give me an option this time!?”
