I Just Won’t Play by the Book

"Little Beiran, Little Beiran, Little Beiran!"

In the study, Shi Fenglan shook Jiang Beiran's shoulder and shouted.

Slowly opening his eyes, Jiang Beiran asked, "What's the matter?"

"You scared me to death. You didn't respond to calling you for a long time." After a long breath, Shi Fenglan replied, "We're home."

"Did it pass so soon..."

After visiting the Feifu Palace yesterday, Jiang Beiran noticed that the formation of the Feifu Palace was in the study room on the second floor, so in order to find out how the formations were laid out here, Jiang Beiran sat and studied it.

However, he hadn't sorted out any clues yet, and one day had passed.

Thinking of finding out that the Feifu structure was not something that could be accomplished in a few days or nights, Jiang Beiran stood up and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Let's go."

It was dark again, and Jiang Beiran was a little confused when he resumed his sight.

'what's the situation? ’

At this moment, Jiang Beiran was surrounded by clouds and mist, as if he was in a fairyland. Looking into the distance, he saw a palace with jade carvings standing in the clouds and mist.

‘Xiangong? ’

"Xiao Beiran, let's go." Shi Fenglan said, she was about to grab Jiang Beiran's hand.

Jiang Beiran took a step back and asked, "Where is this?"

"The top of Longpan Mountain is the highest mountain in Tongguo."

Looking around for a while, Jiang Beiran was about to speak when he saw a young man wearing a brocade robe fell in front of them from mid-air.

"Mei Lan is back." After he said hello, he looked at Jiang Beiran and asked, "This is...?"

[Option 1: Let Shi Fenglan introduce it. Completion rewards: Piaoyun Xianjue (prefecture-level inferior)]

[Option 2: Leave here directly. Completion reward: Yuanjue Jianlu (Xuan-level middle grade)]

[Option 3: "A senior Xuansheng from the Shi family is looking for me." Completion reward: random basic attribute points +1]

‘This is the beginning? ’

Coming along this road, Jiangbei had indeed discovered the power of Feifu. He didn't skip a single option along the way. It was enough to show that this was definitely one of the top transportation vehicles on the Xuanlong Continent.

‘Gluttonous. ’

But this time, the system is obviously going to be busy again.

After choosing three, Jiang Beiran directly replied: "A senior Xuansheng from the Shi family is looking for me."

[The optional task has been completed, reward: Agility +1]

The young man was obviously taken aback after hearing it.

‘Why is the clan saint looking for such a hairy boy, it looks pretty ordinary. ’

However, since he was the guest invited by the clan sage, he didn't ask any more questions, and instead started making a routine with Shi Fenglan.

After chatting for a while, the young man said that he still had something to do, and after bidding farewell, he left with a cloud.

Seeing the young man leaving, Jiang Beiran couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"The top sect is a cow... This person can only look at about twenty-five, and he is already in the Profound Emperor's pinnacle stage. Did all the people in this family grow up eating elixir? ’

But Jiang Beiran discovered this situation the last time he went to Qi State.

In Shengguo, as long as twenty years old can reach the profound spirit, it is enough to be called the top genius, and will be the elite cultivated by the Zongli.

And among the top sects of Qi State, if you have not yet arrived at the Emperor Xuan at the age of twenty, you would be embarrassed to greet someone when you go out. Only those who can reach the Emperor Xuan at the age of twenty can barely be called a genius.

The reason is also very simple.

The Six Kingdoms is in the "eye of the storm" of the aura of the Xuanlong Continent, and the concentration is not comparable to the border effects of Sheng Kingdom. It is almost like the big fish and meat of the people every day, and the cultivators of Sheng Kingdom can only eat chaffy vegetables.

It is completely congenital dysplasia, how to compare?

In addition, the saying that the dragon begets the dragon and the phoenix begets the phoenix is ​​also vividly reflected in the Xuanlong Continent.

The lineage of the descendants of the strong is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and it is easy to awaken the talents of cultivation, and occasionally awakening a special physique, the five element spiritual roots are also very common.

Therefore, in a family with a top powerhouse, the genes of the offspring will also be very good.

For example, most of the children of Shengguo can only awaken their talents for cultivation after they are ten years old, while the children from the top families of the six countries of the Central Plains have generally been in contact with the world of cultivators at the age of five. Up.

There are even women who are cultivating in the womb, but Lin Yuyan said that she has only heard this kind of legend, and she doesn't know whether it is true or not. Anyway, there is no such enchanting descendant in their family.

Because the offspring were good enough, the world of cultivators rejected ordinary people in the era when the first cultivator had just awakened.

There is no other reason. The cultivator is undoubtedly the absolute ruler of this world. No matter what political system or distribution of power, he will eventually become the one with the biggest fist.

With the force that can destroy the country and a large amount of high-quality resources, it can be said that cultivators enjoy the best things on this continent.

Human nature is selfish, and cultivators are no exception. Of course, benefits are only given to their relatives.

Therefore, in the early days, "educating people by nepotism" was the choice of most cultivators' families.

For a cultivator family, the high and low affinity of a certain offspring's spiritual energy, whether there is a special physique or spiritual root, are not key considerations for the amount of cultivation resources invested.

The distant and close relatives of the blood relationship are!

And doing so leads to a big problem.

Not every child of the strong is good enough.

Although dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, dragons give birth to stupid sons, but many parents don't care about this.

Even if his child has a low spiritual affinity, he uses a lot of resources to pile up. Although he can pile up a high level in the end, the upper limit and actual combat power are far inferior to the real genius.

This situation has lasted for a hundred years, and various problems have begun to emerge. Many people who have an overall view have found that the practice of "educating people by nepotism" is too low for the utilization rate of cultivation resources.

So they broke the old concept, thinking that the inheritance of their own cultivation knowledge is more important than the inheritance of their own blood, and put forward the theory of "educating people by virtue of meritocracy", and then the concept of "sect" appeared.

These first cultivators set a strict assessment standard for Reiki Affinity. Those with high assessment scores are regarded as "talented", and those with low scores are regarded as rubbish.

Based on this foundation, the cultivator began to conduct spiritual root determinations on all the school-age teenagers in the area under his control, and brought the "talented" teenagers to the sect for intensive cultivation.

In this way, "talented teenagers of the right age" have also become a kind of cultivation resource and have begun to be competed, and this practice has indeed greatly increased the utilization rate of cultivation resources.

After all, even if your family pedigree is good, how many people can there be in a family? Compared with people on the whole continent, it is a drop of water in the sea.

Even if there is only one genius out of 10,000 ordinary people, with such a huge base, there will still be more descendants of geniuses in the family.

So naturally, the strength of the sect gradually surpassed the traditional family of cultivators.

That is to say, since then, strength has gradually begun to be proportional to the territory controlled and the cultivation resources controlled, and the new strength comparison will inevitably lead to new struggles.

In history, those traditional families did not immediately give up their concept of "educating people by nepotism" and came up with various methods to solve the problem of declining strength.

For example, intermarriage between families, absorbing outstanding foreign cultivators into one's own family.

Women are wives and concubines, and men are sons-in-law.

But the number of this group of people is still too limited, and although this group of people and the original members of the family are mostly united, they still have their own small abacus.

It is further to establish worship, foreign elders, and bind these "foreign surnames" with their interests.

It's a pity that outsiders are outsiders, and it's okay to work hard. Once it's time to die, it will be a disaster.

Finding that this road is unworkable, these families put forward a series of rewards for multiple births and more childbearing. Many female cultivators did not have time to practice, and all day and night they were exercising for the sake of future generations.

That is to say, during this period of time, many double cultivation techniques have been promoted, and many sects have long since been revealed.

But no matter how a person is born, the number is still limited after all, and it can't solve any problems at all.

In the end, these traditional families were forced to have no way. Some of them were frantic and patriarchs came up with some heinous methods, which were completely deceived by themselves.

They will kill the child's family after finding excellent cultivation seedlings among the people, and then take the child into their own clan, change his name and surname, as if he was also a member of the family.

This distorted and perverted method was quickly exposed, and it caused many epic revenge stories.

...

From a strategic perspective, any struggle is a competition between "systems."

Under the situation that traditional families can only come up with these bad methods, the sect of "educating people on merit" has the superiority of "system", not only gradually condensing stronger strength itself, but also being more recognized by ordinary people.

After all...Who doesn't want to have a chance to be among the ruling class even with his own descendants alive?

In the end, the "disastrous defeat" of the cultivation family was given to the sect. The consequence is that the real master of a region can only be the master of the sect. The cultivation sect, no matter how large or small, has the power to select talented mortals from their own control area into their own sect. Cultivate their talents.

This is why in most areas, families serve the sect.

Of course, families with rich heritage like the Shi family and the Lin family have been handed down very well. After all, it is enough for the sect to win the general trend. There is no need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to pile up these top families and kill them.

Therefore, the families that can be passed down to the present are generally very independent. Although the various forces will sell some of their face, the sect still has the final say on the issue of sovereignty.

"Bei Ran, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Jiang Beiran's surprise again, Shi Fenglan, who was always neglected along the way, felt a little resentful.

"Tall Master Shi, do you have any brothers or sisters?" Jiang Beiran asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Facing the sudden question of Jiang Beiran, Shi Fenglan froze for a moment before repliing: "I have a brother and a sister, why do you ask?"

"Purely curious."

The reason Jiang Beiran asked this was because he suddenly remembered a sentence Lin Yuyan had said before.

The higher the cultivation base, the fewer births.

As for the reason, no one has really figured it out until now, but because the strong blood is very good, and many strong people often make "heavy money for children".

Therefore, there are quite a few people who are willing to study this aspect, and various studies and experiments are emerging one after another.

Putting away these associations, Jiang Beiran took a step forward and said, "Let's go."

"Great!"

With a cheer, Shi Fenglan ran ahead and took Jiang Beiran to the palace.

Without the routine inspection that Jiang Beiran had imagined, the two of them walked directly into the main entrance. According to Shi Fenglan’s explanation, it was because the inspection point was at the foot of the mountain, and she was able to fly directly to the top of the mountain because she had a special mark on the flying mansion. If you rush in, you will be blocked by the guarding formation.

Hearing the words "Hushan Dazhen", Jiang Beiran became interested again.

‘I don’t know how famous this top sect guarding the mountain will be. ’

When I went to Qi State before, Jiang Beiran had already seen the extremely strong formation of the National Guarding Formation, and I believe that the mountain guarding formation here must be very different from the ordinary guarding mountain formations.

Before entering the palace, the first thing you see is a three-story high platform in the garden. In the middle of the high platform, there is a tall building called Jiangxiao, which can be described as painted and carved beams.

It made Jiang Beiran feel that his previous palace was simply weak compared to it.

Seeing Xiao Beiran staring at Jiangxiao Tower, Shi Fenglan approached Jiang Beiran and whispered: "There are many treasures in this building. UU Reading www.uukānshu.com"

'treasure? ’

Jiang Beiran raised his eyebrows. What Shi Fenglan could call a treasure naturally couldn't be a vulgar thing like gold and silver treasures. To say less, it would have to be a magic weapon of the mysterious rank to come into her eyes.

"It's too bloated..."

Thinking of the Shi family actually putting this kind of "exhibition hall" at the door, Jiang Beiran felt that the family should be quite high-profile.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Shi Fenglan winked at Jiang Beiran.

"No."

Although they are all placed at the door, they must be used to show off. It doesn't matter.

But once Jiang Beiran didn't like to look at things that he couldn't get, he would feel itchy and uncomfortable. Secondly, there were many rights and wrongs in such places, so he thought it was better not to go.

Just when Shi Fenglan was about to persuade Jiang Beiran for a few more words, her expression suddenly froze. After a while, she poked Jiang Beiran's arm twice and said: "Uncle speaks to me, let us go in and see him soon."

"Then go in quickly, I was here to see your uncle."

"Oh~ I wanted to show off with you~ Then let's talk about it after I see my uncle."

Following Shi Fenglan into the palace, the servants all around saluted one after another, shouting "I have seen Miss Fenglan" and "Miss Fenglan Jinan".

‘Are the descendants a profound practitioner... probably this is the standard configuration of the Big Six Nations family. ’

Passing through a long corridor and climbing three levels of stairs, Jiang Beiran, led by Shi Fenglan, came to a gate carved with dragons and phoenixes.

"come in."

Before Shi Fenglan knocked on the door, a deep voice came from inside.
