348 A Tool in the Family (1)
Although he had used the Gu to save Qu Yangze, his body had been almost completely transformed, and he could no longer move normally.
Moreover, this was the first time Jiang Beiran had encountered someone like Qu Yangze who had a body that nurtured Gu worms. He was not sure how far Qu Yangze’s body could suppress Gu worms. Perhaps he would suddenly go berserk one day.
Furthermore, as the first Gu Man Jiang Beiran had created, he was also curious about the changes that would happen to him.
Therefore, Jiang Beiran had set up a few formations outside the cave, keeping the homeless Qu Yangze inside.
Qu Yangze was submissive to his savior. After all, he didn’t know what he wanted to do, and he had very little control over his body. Sometimes, he would vomit while talking. He wanted to reach out with his right hand to take something, but he raised his left hand and slapped himself.
Under such circumstances, he did not dare to leave Jiang Beiran’s side.
Just like that, Jiang Beiran raised Qu Yangze for two years. During this time, Qu Yangze had changed so much that Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but be flabbergasted.
Firstly, it was the change in his body shape. When Jiang Beiran first met him, he looked like he was in his teens and was less than six feet tall. But in just two years, his body had grown to a full nine feet! His muscles were so developed that he looked like the Hulk.
The other thing was Qu Yangze’s cultivation base. When Jiang Beiran first met him, he had only just entered the Qi Refining realm. Moreover, he had not taught him any mental cultivation methods or techniques in the past two years. However, his cultivation base was growing like a child’s body. Without learning any mental cultivation methods, he had already reached the Mystique Adept realm.
Finally, he had completely adapted to his new body, and had even adapted a little too much…
He could spit out poisonous fog when he opened his mouth. His hands were densely packed with barbs. When he caught something moving at high speed, his eyes would turn into compound eyes. His tongue could shoot out like a frog, and its length was up to one meter.
Other than that, there were also various changes to his body. To put it simply, other than his appearance that barely resembled a human, the other parts of his body had basically left the category of a human.
Moreover, he was only a little over ten years old, so Jiang Beiran was even more afraid to let this humanoid monster run around.
However, he could not keep him locked up like this forever. Hence, Jiang Beiran decided to let him follow his disciples in their operation since this was a rare opportunity. With Qing Huan around, there should not be any big trouble.
Moreover, the system did not skip the option for him, which meant that he could still use it without worry.
“Let’s go back.” Putting away his memories, Jiang Beiran patted Qu Yangze’s shoulder and asked him to return to the team.
Taking out a map from his Cosmos Ring and placing it on the ground, Jiang Beiran looked at Wu Qingce and the others and said,””The reason why I called you here this time is because I have something for you to do.”
After saying that, he pointed to a coordinate on the map and said,”Dengjin Grand Canyon. At the beginning of next month, you have to investigate what has happened here and report to me.”
It had been a long time since Jiang Beiran had divined his destiny. A few days ago, he had suddenly felt his spiritual awareness become unusually active. At the same time, his sixth sense had given him a very good feedback.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Beiran had made a thorough arrangement and did a good divination.
As if he had predicted that the Thunder Spirit Flower would bloom in the Birch Forest, the coordinates Jiang Beiran had obtained this time were precisely this Dengjin Grand Canyon.
“Remember to take good care of Yang Ze.” Jiang Beiran was about to turn around and leave when he heard Wu Qingce shout,””Senior Brother, wait a moment.”
“What is it?” Jiang Beiran turned around and asked.
Wu Qingce quickly stepped forward and took out two Cosmos Rings.” Senior apprentice-brother Ling, I have recently collected the materials according to the list. I haven’t collected the Grey Crystal Marrow and Velvet Heart Grass. The other materials are all here.”
“Oh?”
Jiang Beiran was a little surprised to hear that. He had given Wu Qingce a list of rare materials, and he had thought that it would be good if he could collect one-third of them. He had not expected that he would only be missing two.
” It seems that the various sects and sects have quite a few good goods.’
“Hmm, it seems that you have indeed made quite a name for yourself in the past two months. Continue to work hard. Senior Brother still needs you to help me collect more materials.”
Hearing his senior brother’s affirmation, Wu Qingce said excitedly,””Yes, sir! I won’t let Shixiong down.”
After bowing respectfully, Wu Qingce pointed at the blue ring and said,””The things in this Cosmos Ring are quite special. Please allow me to explain slowly.”
Nodding, Jiang Beiran listened to Wu Qingce’s list of strange objects, such as the incomplete ancient medical scriptures, the frozen mountain rocks that did not melt, the half-written golden talisman paper, and so on.
Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but tear up as he looked at the strange objects that almost caught his interest.
‘Tools…No, I’ve finally grown up.
This was the role that Jiang Beiran had hoped Wu Qingce and the others could play, and now, his wish had finally come true.
Putting the two Cosmos Rings into his pocket, Jiang Beiran finally felt at ease when he did not receive any system notifications.
‘As expected, the Heavenly Dao can’t be a middleman to earn the difference!’
After praising Wu Qingce a little more, Jiang Beiran gave the four of them a few more words of advice before turning to leave.
After Jiang Beiran had disappeared from the four people’s sight, Gu Qinghuan picked up the map and looked at it for a while. She quickly pointed to a mark beside the Dengjin Grand Canyon and said to Luo Wenzhou,””Junior Brother Wen Zhou, you are in charge of inquiring about the Grand Canyon in this town. You need all the rumors, phenomena, and specialties.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Ever since they had cooperated once in Jiyuan Town, Luo Wenzhou had developed a strong sense of trust in this meticulous and meticulous Senior Brother Gu, so he was very convinced of his instructions.
After assigning tasks to Luo Wenzhou, Gu Qinghuan looked at Wu Qingce and said,””Senior Martial Brother Wu, please go to the Dengjin Grand Canyon to investigate and gather some useful clues.”
“No problem.” Wu Qingce replied straightforwardly.
In the end, Gu Qinghuan kept the map and looked at Qu Yangze.” I’ll be in charge of bringing Junior Brother Qu to set up camp next to the Dengjin Grand Canyon. We’ll meet again in three days.””
“Alright.”
With that, the four of them left the forest together.
After settling the matters regarding the Grand Canyon, Jiang Beiran returned to the Returning Heart Sect on his auspicious cloud and arrived at the Water Mirror Hall. As soon as Jiang Beiran entered Tinglan Waterside Pavilion, he saw Shi Fenglan welcoming him like a gust of wind.
“Little Bei Ran, Little Bei Ran, look!”
Shi Fenglan rushed towards Jiang Beiran with a human-shaped sculpture in her hand.
She handed it to Jiang Beiran and asked with anticipation,””How is it? Isn’t it nice?”
After sizing up the sculpture, Jiang Beiran asked,”” Hall Master Shi thinks it looks good?”
“Of course it looks good. Look at the nose and the ears.”
“Nose…Where?” Jiang Beiran asked, staring at the humanoid sculpture.
“Right here!” Shi Fenglan pointed at a bulge on the sculpture’s face and said.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Beiran casually took out a carving knife and made a few cuts on the face of the human sculpture, then said,””This is what I call a nose.”
Looking at the small and straight nose on the sculpture’s face, Shi Fenglan could not help but clap her hands and say,””It’s really nice, really nice. Little Bei Ran, your hands are really good. Quick, teach me how to sculpt.”
A while ago, Jiang Beiran had updated a few new characters of the Wandering Jianghu. The one carved for Shi Fenglan was a beautiful lady dressed like a young master. Jiang Beiran had named her Clivia.
Shi Fenglan had taken a great liking to it after receiving it and had been admiring it all day. A few days ago, Shi Fenglan had a sudden idea and begged Jiang Beiran to learn the art of carving, thinking that she would be able to sculpt such a beautiful person in the future.
Jiang Beiran did not reject such a small request. He went to the kitchen to get a few white radishes and began to teach carving.
Unlike the usual three minutes of excitement, Shi Fenglan was very serious this time, listening carefully to every step of Jiang Beiran’s teaching.
Unfortunately, although she was serious, Shi Fenglan, who thought that she had learned the essence, picked up the radish and worked on it. In the end, she carved a strange thing that did not look like anything.
Shi Fenglan, who had suffered a blow, was not discouraged. She picked up another radish and continued practicing.
In the end, this enthusiasm did not disappoint her. In just a few days, she could barely carve a sculpture that could see the outline of a person. She was quite talented.
Putting away the carving knife, Jiang Beiran replied,””I’ve said what I need to say. What you need to do now is to practice hard.”
” Alright then.” She picked up her work and examined it carefully. She could not understand how Jiang Beiran could carve such a beautiful nose with just a few cuts.
When she returned to the central hall, Shi Fenglan instantly threw the matter of carving aside. After all,” gambling ” was her true love.
After gambling for the entire afternoon, Jiang Beiran finally bade farewell and left when he realized that Liu Zijin and the rest were about to come for the medicinal bath.
At night, Jiang Beiran had wanted to go to the back of the mountain to study the strange item he had obtained that day. However, he remembered that today was the night he had promised Mo Xia to play chess, so he went back to his room and waited quietly.contemporary romance
