“This…”

Looking at the spirit herb in the brocade box, Yan Guangqing hooked his right index finger and one of the spirit herbs slowly floated up.

Looking at the spiritual medicine floating in the air, emitting a faint green aura, Yan Guangqing rubbed his chin and smiled.”Hahaha, the younger generation is indeed formidable. This old man really didn’t expect that one day, a young man would take out a spirit herb that even I couldn’t recognize.”

After praising Jiang Beiran, Yan Guangqing grabbed the green spirit herb and sniffed it, asking,””Beiran, tell me, what kind of spirit herb is this?”

Jiang Beiran cupped his hands at Yan Guangqing and replied, “”This medicine is called the Spiritual supreme-ruler Calming Pill. After consuming it, it can suppress the heart’s devil and stop the six desires.”

Yan Guangqing’s body froze when he heard that. At the same time, he asked with a serious expression,””Are you sure it will work after I consume it?”

The so-called suppression of the heart demon and stopping the six desires actually referred to a series of tests that would appear when a cultivator broke through.

Humans would have inner demons and desires, and cultivators were no exception.

These two would be magnified to the extreme when the cultivator advanced. If the cultivator could not break free from the shackles of these two, the advancement would fail, and the evil fire would attack the heart. In serious cases, the cultivator would go crazy and lose his mind.

It could be said that it was a great tribulation for cultivators when they were breaking through.

Moreover, things like inner demons would become stronger along with the cultivation of the cultivator. In other words, the higher the cultivation of the cultivator, the easier it was for them to be defeated when facing inner demons.

This was why many experts did not dare to break through to the next realm after accumulating enough cultivation and mystic qi.

The Spirit Calming Pill was a safety guarantee during the breakthrough. Although it could not guarantee the success of the breakthrough, it could guarantee that the user would not suffer too much physical and mental damage.

It could be said to be a top-grade medicine for cultivators.

Of course, there were many pills that could suppress the inner demons. After all, breaking through realms was a top priority for every cultivator.

However, in the Sheng Nation, it was extremely difficult to buy a spirit pill that could suppress the Mystic Emperor’s inner demon, let alone the Mystic Sect.

A high-grade spiritual medicine like the Spiritual supreme-ruler Calming Pill, which could even suppress the inner demons of Mystique Venerable Ones, was priceless in the Six Nations. In fact, many people did not even know of its existence.

No wonder Yan Guangqing couldn’t even recognize this pill.

Jiang Beiran, who had expected Yan Guangqing to ask such a question, immediately cupped his hands and replied,””Of course. Otherwise, this junior would dare to take it out and embarrass myself.”

“Hahahahaha! Good!” Yan Guangqing laughed as he placed the Spirit Calming Pill back into the brocade box.” Bei Ran is giving such a big gift. I’m afraid it’s not just for that small favor just now, right?”

Seeing that Jiang Beiran was about to speak, Yan Guangqing suddenly reached out his hand and said, ‘”Wait a minute.” After thinking for a moment, he asked, “Although I don’t know where you got this Spiritual supreme-ruler Calming Pill, it’s definitely not in the Sheng Kingdom. I’m afraid that the only place where you can get such a spiritual medicine is…”.

Noticing that Yan Guangqing was looking at him, Jiang Beiran immediately cupped his hands and replied,””Sect Master Yan’s guess is correct. This spirit herb was obtained by this junior in Tong Country.”

“Tong Country?” Yan Guangqing rubbed his fingers and suddenly laughed,”Hahaha, I see, I see!”

At that moment, Yan Guangqing seemed to have understood everything. He sat back down in his chair and said to Jiang Beiran,’”‘Tell me, where did you get this spirit herb?”

“I wonder if Sect Master Yan has heard of the Shi family?”

“Heavenly Lord Le Yong, Shi Hongyun’s family is naturally well-known. I wonder how you got in touch with the Shi Family.”

“I can only say that it was a coincidence. I was lucky enough to be favored by the Shi Clan Saint, so I got a position in the Shi family.”

“Position?” Yan Guangqing couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

The Shi family was a family, and Yan Guangqing knew very well how difficult it was for an outsider like Jiang Beiran to get a position in such a top-notch family.

Yan Guangqing sized up Jiang Beiran’s handsome appearance and elegant temperament, which reminded him of his younger self. He suddenly smiled and said,””Beiran…Could it be that you married into the Shi family?”

“No, I’m still surnamed Jiang.”

“Oh?” Yan Guangqing immediately sat up.

Yan Guangqing would not have been too surprised if Jiang Beiran had obtained the position in the Shi family through his surrendering. After all, it was not impossible for Jiang Beiran to be born with the same good looks as him, and with some luck.

However, if he did not marry into the Shi family and still managed to obtain a position in the Shi family…

‘Does this kid really have the ability to reach the heavens?’

At this moment, Yan Guangqing finally took Jiang Beiran seriously.” Then I

really should congratulate him. I wonder what position Beiran holds in the Shi family?’”‘

“This junior is not talented, and I am in the Shi family as a virtuous card.”After saying that, Jiang Beiran took out the Sage Token from his Cosmos Ring and placed it on the table in front of Yan Guangqing. “This is the token of the Shi family, which allows me to do whatever I want in Tong Country.”

‘Sage Token…’

Although Yan Guangqing did not know much about the Shi family, he had heard of this position from a certain family in the Qi Kingdom. Coupled with Jiang Beiran’s statement that he had not invaded the Shi family, this meant

that…

“He’s a guest elder of the Shi family?”

This time, Yan Guangqing was truly stunned.

He did not have much contact with Jiang Beiran, and the reason why he cared so much about him was because of Lin PO’s divi-ation. Other than that, he felt that Jiang Beiran was indeed smart and quick-witted, and he did not see any other good points about him.

However, if he did not have any strong points, how could he possibly hold a position like a guest elder in the Shi family?

What was an Honored Guest? It represented the Shi family’s evaluation of his ability. They believed that his ability was enough to help the Shi family, or even an indispensable force for the Shi family..
