Chapter Twenty-Four: Completing the Test

When Jianren saw Qiu Shuai again, he himself didn't know his expression at that time.

Jianren didn't expect that Qiu Shuai would come back at the specified time, and besides, he was holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand, exactly the same as his request.

How did this kid get in? Could it be that the trick I set up didn't work? Besides, where did he get the money in such a short period of time?

Could it be that this kid is also a "master", otherwise, how could he escape my detection?

Countless questions sounded in Jianren's heart, there must be too many hidden secrets in this, and he needed to confirm them.

Not to mention an ordinary person who has no heels, even if he is quite a cultivator, if he wants to break the hidden formation arranged by Jianren in a moment and a half, it is not easy to do.

"I earned the money and bought back the cigarettes you needed within the stipulated time, can I pass the test you gave me?" Qiu Shuai wiped his sweat and looked at the other party and said.

"How did you make the money?" Jian Ren asked quietly.

"I help the supermarket with the goods, and the reward is this pack of cigarettes, there is no violation, right?" Qiu Shuai said with a few gentle shakes of his tired and sore arm.

"No, then how did you come back, didn't you encounter something strange?" Jian Ren quietly used his powerful divine sense to scan the other party again, and did not find anything abnormal, and asked strangely.

"Strange thing? No, I got the cigarette and ran back, not paying any attention on the way. Qiu Shuai thought about it carefully and then said.

"Okay, even if you pass my test, however, I can't accept you as an apprentice for the time being, even if you and I are in an employment relationship, depending on how you perform in the future, I will make a decision on whether to accept you as an apprentice, how about it?" Jianren thought for a moment and made a decision.

"No, since we have already agreed in advance, and I have passed your test, you can't break your word, otherwise I won't agree to die!" Qiu Shuai said firmly.

"Well, okay, then I agreed to your request, however, I won't teach you anything in the short term, after all, I don't know you well enough, and when I can be sure that you don't have different intentions in the future, I will naturally teach you something, and it won't be in vain for our master and apprentice, how about it?" When Jianren doesn't understand the details of the other party 100%, he won't teach the other party easily, and he won't let the other party know anything about himself.

"The master is above, please accept the apprentice!" Qiu Shuai saw that the other party agreed to accept him as an apprentice, so he quickly knelt down and bowed, for fear that the other party would regret it.

"Get up, now that you and I have become masters and apprentices, I need to know more about you and tell me everything about you. After Jianren sat down, he said to the cheap apprentice on the side.

"Master Qiyu, I was an orphan, nameless and helpless by picking up waste for a living, and then met a grandfather Qiu who also made a living from wandering, with his surname, he gave me my current name, I treated him as my own grandfather, the two of us depended on each other, from Jiangnan Province all the way to the north, and finally settled in the capital. In the first few years, although we lived a hard life, but there were a lot of well-wishers to take care of and some social charities to help me, it was good to survive, and then I also went to school, but the good times did not last long, not a few years after my grandfather was hit by a car when he went out, although he did not get sick at the time, but he was bedridden when he returned home, and he died in less than two months, leaving me alone. Since then, I have dropped out of school and returned home to look for the unscrupulous driver of the hit-and-run, but after years of searching without finding a single clue, I have been living a dull life until now...... That's pretty much it. Qiu Shuai roughly talked about his experience over the years, and seemed to recall many past events, and his mood was a little heavy.

"Then who did you learn the craft of sliding the door and picking the lock?" Jian Ren asked after listening carefully to the other party's narration.

"Actually, I didn't learn it from anyone, it was self-taught, my grandfather gave this to me before he died, and told me to keep it carefully, remember not to show it in front of outsiders, not to look at it, and not to avenge him. Later, when I was idle, I couldn't help but flip through a few pages when I was curious, and the art of unlocking was taught by myself from this. Qiu Shuai said as he took out a thread-bound blue book from his arms and handed it to Jianren.

Jianren took the ancient book, and the title of "The Thief in the World" was written in the small seal font on the blue cover, but after a cursory look at a few pages, Jianren confirmed that what Qiu Shuai said was indeed true, and the book called "The Thief in the World" was indeed as the other party said, and recorded in detail some of the side door techniques, and the keyless unlocking was in it.

Jianren quickly flipped through it, this ancient book has mixed records, in addition to a detailed description of keyless unlocking, this book actually involves the cracking of some simple formations, although it is not incisive, but it can also be called a unique insight, which makes people suddenly enlighten after reading, but it is like this.

The more Jian Ren read the content of this book, the more strange he felt, and he couldn't help but read this ancient book carefully from beginning to end again.

I didn't think there was anything amazing about this ancient book, but Jianren found that there were many exquisite sentences in it after a closer look, and he couldn't help but excerpt some of the seemingly inconsequential sentences and sort them out, Jianren discovered an unknown secret from it.

On the surface, this book is just a book about entry-level theoretical knowledge on the side door, and there are no too exciting chapters, but after Jianren's processing and sorting, a very peculiar cultivation method jumped on the paper and appeared in Jianren's mind.

This exercise is called "Breath-Holding Invisible Concealment Technique", which is a very practical method of concealing and concealing concealment, when cultivating to the highest level, it can completely conceal the breath and body shape, even if it is close at hand, it is difficult for people to discover. However, it is a pity that only the first half of the exercises are recorded in this ancient book in Qiu Shuai's hand, even if it is cultivated to the fullest, at most it is to completely conceal the breath, as for the second half of the exercises that can completely hide the body and disappear out of thin air, there is no record, here is only a clue, that is, the second half of the exercises are recorded in a book called "Stealing the Sky and Stealing the Day". For this book, Jianren has never heard of it, let alone seen it.

"In addition to leaving you this book, did your grandfather leave you anything?" Although the exercises recorded in this book are peculiar, they are not unusual to Jianren, and the only thing he doesn't understand now is how Qiu Shuai was able to ignore the maze he had laid and return all the way back here, looking at him, he didn't look like a great array master who was proficient in the method of breaking the formation.

"In addition to this book, I was left with this ring. With that, Qiu Shuai untied his collar and took off a leather rope from his neck, on which a simple bronze ring was attached. I saw that the ring was old and tinged with patina, which should be a thing with a lot of origin.

"Bring it to me. Jian Ren's brows tightened, he had probed the other party more than once, but for this bronze ring, Jian Ren had never detected it, and there were few things in this world that could escape the detection of his powerful divine sense, which made Jian Ren's heart clouded with a trace of doubt, what is this?

Taking the bronze ring handed over to him by Qiu Shuai, Jianren let go of his divine sense and wanted to investigate this ring of mysterious origin, but the moment his powerful invisible divine sense came into contact with the bronze ring, it was like a barrier that appeared out of thin air, completely hindering the invasion of divine consciousness. Jianren tried two more times, but the result was still the same as the first time, and he couldn't break through the barrier and probe it.

"Well, kind of interesting. Jianren stared at the bronze ring in his hand and couldn't help muttering.

"Master, is there anything wrong with this ring?" Qiu Shuai asked curiously as he looked at Jianren, who was holding the bronze ring in a daze with one hand.

"Well, it's true that something is wrong, but you don't need to know too much now, it's not good for you, I'll tell you when I have a chance later. Jianren returned the bronze ring and the book of "The Thief in the World" to the other party, and told the other party to say.
