Chapter 30: We Feel Like You Are Lying to Us, Brother, but We Have No Evidence

Choosing Option Three, Jiang Beiran laughed and said, “Sister Fang, being so timid, how do you even uphold righteousness? Hahaha.”

Fang Qiuyao puffed up her mouth in anger after hearing this. She wiped her tears hard and didn’t say anything, then continued to look for the way out.

However, each time she plucked a bit of grass, in her heart, she imagined that it was Jiang Beiran’s hair.

‘D*mn you for laughing at me! D*mn you for laughing at me!’ she thought to herself.

After Fang Qiuyao went away, Jiang Beiran squatted down and made a forceful pouring gesture, pointing the bronze toad’s head downward.

“Clang. Clang…”

Five copper coins poured out from the toad’s belly in turn.

Not far away, when Fang Qiuyao heard this sound, her body trembled again. However, she forcefully held back from shouting. She was reciting some incantations she learned from God knew where in her heart.

Meanwhile, Jiang Beiran put the bronze toad to the side, looked at the five copper coins, and silently read, “Xu (11th earthly branches), Geng (7th heavenly stem), Gui (10th heavenly stem), Du (Door of Prohibition), Si (Door of Death)… Hah, this person is not very capable, but his heart is quite greedy.”

Laughing in his heart, Jiang Beiran took out a compass from the storage ring and began his deduction.

On the other side, Yu Guishui, who was trying to find a way out, chose to keep walking towards the front. However, as she walked, she found that her third sister had appeared in front of her.

“Eh? Miaomiao? Why are you here?” Yu Guishui asked, confused.

Yu Guimiao was also startled at the same time and said, “I just kept walking forward carefully and then…”

“Sis? Miaomiao!?” Just as Yu Guimiao was speaking, Yu Guizhui also showed up next to them, her face full of surprise. “I clearly chose to search in a different direction than you guys, how could…?”

Yu Guishui listened and got nervous. “What kind of formation is this? I…”

As she spoke, Yu Guishui suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and hurriedly rubbed her temples, saying, “I… suddenly feel very dizzy.”

Yu Guizhui also felt a sudden burst of dizziness after hearing that, and the elder sister in front of her seemed to have split into two.

“Sis… sis, I also seem to be a little dizzy. Help… help me…”

Feeling her eyelids become heavier and heavier, Yu Guizhui wanted to shout loudly in fear but found that she could not say anything. She could only watch as the boundless darkness surged towards her and engulfed her…

“Plop…”

Hearing the sound of someone falling to the ground, Jiang Beiran, who was shaking the compass, glanced in that direction.

‘Although this formation is set up sloppily, it seems that it is still too powerful for these junior Sisters whose cultivation level is not yet high enough,’ he thought to himself.

“Golden merits and virtues open the way slightly. The dark and grand pool is always flowing with fragrance. The boundless spiritual treasure shines light!”

As Jiang Beiran chanted in a soft voice, the compass in his hand trembled slightly. At the same time, three symbols lit up.

‘Tianchong Star (third star in the big dipper) of the Eight Palaces…’

At that moment, in Jiang Beiran’s eyes, the surrounding woods had disappeared, and in its place was a Mind-Controlling Formation of Small Multiples of Six, emitting a purple glow.

After observing carefully for a moment, Jiang Beiran first took three steps towards the position of the Door of Alarm and stomped down with force. He then took another step towards the position of the Door of Scenery and jabbed forward with his palm…

As Jiang Beiran made his moves one after another, the purple glow emitted by the Mind-Controlling Formation of Small Multiples of Six became fainter and fainter. Finally, it dissipated completely.

After breaking the formation, Jiang Beiran took another six steps backward, squatted down, and plunged his hand into the earth.

‘Oh? The thieves are rich enough,’ Jiang Beiran lamented as he pulled out a yellow Metal Spirit Stone from the earth.

‘Tsk, although it’s just a Low Tier Metal Spirit Stone, it’s by no means something that ordinary people can afford. Even if they sell their children, they can’t possibly sell them for this much money… The person who set up this formation is really quite interesting.’

While gold, silver, and copper coins were the main currencies in the world of ordinary people, for cultivators, the main currency was Spirit Stones.

And the reason why Spirit Stones could be the main currency was basically the same as copper coins. It was because it had equal value itself.

The so-called Spirit Stone was the crystallization of spiritual energy gathered from the essence of heaven and earth.

Mystic cultivators needed it for cultivation and operating formations, and it was even vital when operating certain high-level magical treasures.

It could be said that the spirit stone was closely related to everything in the Mystic Cultivation world, and naturally it was an extremely secure physical currency.

Throwing the Low Tier Metal Spirit Stone into the storage ring, Jiang Beiran slowly spread his mental power out and found that there was no one rushing in his direction. At the same time, he also found that the four junior Sisters had already fallen to the ground unconscious and only Liu Zijin was still struggling to stay awake.

‘Oh? This Liu Zijin clearly has not learned any means to defend against the formation, yet she managed to hang on with sheer willpower until now? Could it be that she was born naturally with a body of Three Yangs? The Sect of Returning Hearts has gotten a treasure this time,’ he thought to himself.

Putting the compass and the bronze toad back into the storage ring, Jiang Beiran went over to her and took out a Storax Pill. He handed it to Liu Zijin, who was drenched in sweat, and said, “Eat it.”

For Liu Zijin, who was almost couldn’t support herself anymore, Jiang Beiran’s voice was like a thunderbolt. It called back her three souls and seven spirits as they were about to fly away.

“Brother!?” Liu Zijin turned back quickly, her face full of panic.

“It’s alright now. Eat up,” Jiang Beiran said.

Without asking why the formation had suddenly disappeared, Liu Zijin took the Storax Pill handed to her by Jiang Beiran and swallowed it in one gulp.

In a flash, her mental energy that had been on the verge of collapse instantly gathered, and her vision became clear again.

“You rest for a while. I’ll go wake up the other Sisters.” Jiang Beiran finished speaking and left in the direction of the three Sisters of the Yu family.

Looking at Jiang Beiran’s retreating back, Liu Zijin wanted to say something. However, while her mouth opened and closed a few times, she still did not say anything. She sat down cross-legged in place and began to practice the Rhymed Formula of Returning Hearts.

Walking to the place where the three Sisters of the Yu family had fallen, Jiang Beiran could not help but be stunned.

‘No way… So, triplets end up in the same posture when they fall?’

Looking at the three Sisters with identical postures, Jiang Beiran laughed softly. He then took out a jade vial from the storage ring and put it in front of the leftmost Sister Yu’s nose.

“Oh…”

As a floral fragrance entered her nose, Yu Guishui slowly awakened. She then suddenly sat up straight, looking around at her surroundings.

“Bro… Brother?”

“Yep, it’s me. Come, swallow this medicine,” Jiang Beiran said as he handed Yu Guishui the Storax Pill.

“Brother… What just happened?” she asked.

“Let’s talk about it later. Take the medicine first,” he said.

“Yes…” Yu Guishui nodded and swallowed the Storax Pill.

Then Jiang Beiran used the same method to wake up the other junior Sisters and got them all to gather in one place.

The Storax Pill refreshed the mind, and in less than ten minutes, the five Sisters had completely regained their energy.

“Excuse me, sir.”

Seeing one of Yu Sisters raise her hand, Jiang Beiran’s expression appeared very satisfied. Even in this situation, she did not forget to shout ‘excuse me.’ It seemed that his conditioning was very successful.

“Speak,” he said.

“Is it you who broke the formation, Brother?” she asked.

Jiang Beiran shook his head after listening to her question, then said, “I said I do not know about formations. My guess is that the formation probably cannot trap so many people, so it disintegrated on its own.”

The five Sisters all had a questioning look on their faces as if they were wondering whether Jiang Beiran was looking down on their intelligence. However, no one asked further questions, because they knew that it would only make the senior Brother upset.
