396 Profound Secrets Island “Come! Ha!”

Ji Qinglin smashed a wine jar on the table.

“I can’t drink. Cult Master Ji, why don’t we drink tea instead?”

“What’s the point of drinking tea? This is the best Spring Brocade. I wouldn’t be willing to give it to an ordinary person.”Ji Qinglin opened the lid as he spoke. Instantly, an intoxicating aroma of wine filled the entire tent.

“Take a whiff. Can you hold back the fragrance of this wine?”Ji Qinglin said as he took out a porcelain bowl and handed it to Jiang Beiran. At the same time, two options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.

However, Jiang Beiran had no intention of drinking at the moment as he was planning to slip away later. Hence, he waved his hand and said,””Cult Master Ji, I really can’t drink it.”

“I’ve already filled your glass. If you don’t drink, you’re not giving me face.”

As soon as Ji Qinglin finished speaking, two options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.

[Option 1: Take the porcelain bowl and drink it in one gulp. [Completion Reward: Gold Crow Fey Book (Black Grade High-Rank)]

[Option 2:” If you insist on making me drink, you’re not giving me face.”[Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

“Hmm?”

Looking at the first option, Jiang Beiran could not help but frown.

‘What’s going on? Is there poison in the wine?

However, Jiang Beiran immediately rejected the idea. After all, from Ji Qinglin’s point of view, there was no need to go through so much trouble to kill him. Why would he need to rely on poisoned wine?

Unable to think of a reason, Jiang Beiran chose the second option and said,””If you insist on making zhen drink, you’re not giving zhen face.”

[Mission completed. Reward: Spirit +1]

“Hmm?” Ji Qinglin narrowed his eyes and sized up Jiang Beiran for a while, then smiled and said,””As expected, you have confidence. In this Sheng country, there are less than three people who dare to speak to me like this… Four.”

‘Is it that specific…’

Jiang Beiran grumbled inwardly and replied,””Zhen is indeed not good at drinking, please forgive me, Cult Master Ji.”

“Alright, alright, alright. Then I’ll take it that you’re not good at drinking.”Ji Qinglin then returned the wine jar to Jiang Beiran and sat opposite him.””Since you don’t need wine to liven things up, let’s talk about what you think.”

“May I know what Cult Master Ji is referring to?”

“Naturally, it is the future of the Sheng Kingdom.”

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran replied,””The first step is naturally to gather all the forces of the Sheng Kingdom.” “And then?”

“Make friends far away and attack close at hand. Take your time.”

“Hah!” Ji Qinglin slammed the table fiercely.” I didn’t expect you to be a moderate person like my master. But have you ever thought about how our Shengguo can use to communicate with others?”

“Then I wonder where Cult Master Ji thinks the future of the Sheng Country lies?”

“Challenge the Profound Secrets!”

“..”

Seeing Ji Qinglin’s serious expression, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood where the disagreement between him and Yin Jianghong lay.

On the map of the Black Dragon Continent, there were all kinds of places full of strange phenomena.

For example, the Anbei Plains, where the gravity was much higher than other regions, the Throne Mountain, which was half fire and half ice, and the Ghost Crow Forest, where poisonous insects were bigger than humans…

However, the most famous and most terrifying place of phenomenon was none other than Profound Secrets Island.

Profound Secrets Island was located in the southernmost part of the Profound Dragon Continent. At first, it was called Black Fog Island because it was shrouded in black fog all year round.

In the beginning, because the situation inside the black fog could not be seen from the outside, the fear of the unknown prevented many experts from exploring.

However, no matter which world it was, there would always be warriors.

In the second year of the Black Fog Island, a strong man in the Mystic King Realm broke in, but he never came out again. No one knew whether he was alive or dead.

From then on, Black Fog Island was shrouded in a mysterious veil, making countless people shrink back.

However, just like how no world would lack warriors, no world would lack hotheads.

Although the disappearance of that Mystic King made most cultivators feel fear, it also made a small number of cultivators smell the scent of opportunity.

Most of them were extremely aggressive. After analyzing a bunch of nonsense, they entered Black Fog Island in batches.

One year, two years, three years.

Ten, a hundred, a thousand.

When more and more experts entered Black Fog Island, but none of them returned alive, these hotheads finally knew how to write the word fear.

This Black Fog Island was like a machine that harvested human lives. Even the strongest Xuanzong would not be able to come back alive.

However, just as everyone was about to list Black Fog Island as a forbidden land, a person named Duan Yuan suddenly walked out of the black fog.

The ‘best friends’ who were guarding the Black Fog Island were overjoyed, glad that their years of defense had not been in vain.

When they welcomed Duan Yuan, something even more surprising happened.

Duan Yuan had actually broken through to the Mystique Venerable Rank! Moreover, he was already a fifth level Mystique Venerable One! After Mystique Venerable Rank, it was very difficult to advance each level. A Level Five Mystique Venerable Rank was definitely considered a powerhouse at that time.

What was even more amazing was that Duan Yuan was only a Mystique King before he entered Black Fog Island two years ago. In just two years, he had advanced from a Mystique King to a level-five Mystique Venerable. This was a speed that no one could imagine.

However, when people asked Duan Yuan what he had experienced on Black Fog Island, Duan Yuan replied…
