“It’s the Cloud Plate Armor…’
The moment Jiang Beiran opened the box, he recognized this treasure. Although it was as thin as a cicada’s wings, its defense was extremely strong. According to the book, it needed the tail feathers of various level five mystics beasts as the materials. It also required a special knitting technique to make it.
Not only that, but it also needed a mystic king level powerhouse to reinforce the Cloud Plate Armor. It was absolutely worthy of the black grade protective magical item.
“Although the grade of the Cloud Plate Armor isn’t very high, it’s very difficult to gather the rare feathers of all kinds of mystic beasts. This armor is extremely rare in the entire Land of the Black Dragon. I didn’t expect that one of them would be in Shi Fenglan’s hands…”
“Looks like I’ll have to reevaluate this runaway miss again.”
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Jiang Beiran chose option two. He looked at Shi Fenglan with a blank expression and asked, “I wonder what kind of magical item this is?”
Based on these two options, option one should be the same as before. Once he showed that he recognized this rare armor, he would be noticed by the expert behind Shi Fenglan.
“But the difficulty is getting lower and lower.”
Jiang Beiran remembered that when he first met Shi Fenglan, if he revealed that he had a strong insight, he would obtain a middle tier black grade reward. But now, it had been reduced to high tier yellow grade.
“It seems I have made progress by teaching Order Master Shi. Have I gained the favorability from the person behind her?”

Hearing Jiang Beiran’s question, Shi Fenglan said smugly, “It’s called the Immortal Feather Robe. It’s a black grade defensive magical artifact.”
“Don’t change its name” Jiang Beiran yelled in his mind.
Jiang Beiran was sure that this was the Cloud Plate Armor. It was probably because Shi Fenglan felt that this name was not pleasant to hear, so she just changed it.
However, he obviously could not say this out loud. After putting on a perfect surprised expression, Jiang Beiran said in shock, “Black grade!?”
“Hehe, amazing, right?” Shi Fenglan could not help but show off, but soon she pressed her fingers on her lips in embarrassment. “But… I can only lend it to you to wear it once, because…” “Order Master, if you say you’re giving it to me, I don’t dare to accept it. I’m already very grateful if you could lend it to me once to the Sect of Masked Moon.”
“Okay!” seeing Jiang Beiran directly take over the conversation, Shi Fenglan nodded and continued, “In addition, how much power a magical item can unleash is closely related to the wearer’s own strength. Although this is a black grade magical item, with your Qi refining level strength, I’m afraid you can only unleash 10% of its power. But even so, it’s very difficult for cultivators with strength below mystic spirit to harm you, so you don’t have to worry that the disciples of the other sects can harm you.”
“Thank you, Order Master.”
“You’re welcome. You can go back first. Remember to come early tomorrow.”
“Yes, I will take my leave.”
After leaving the Order of Blue Heart, Jiang Beiran could not help but frown in puzzlement.
Of course, he understood what Shi Fenglan had said. In the world of cultivators, the effect of using magical item above one’s level was very poor. It was like giving a fighter jet to someone who had never learned how to fly a plane. These magical items were indeed powerful, but without the ability to use it, it was no different from scrap metal. An excellent pilot could fly a plane and perform all kinds of impressive stunts.
IS W
The same was true for magical item. The more powerful a magical item was, the user must be even stronger. Otherwise, it would be a waste of a heavenly item.
There was no doubt that the Cloud Plate Armor was very powerful. But just as Shi Fenglan had said, with his own cultivation, he could only use one-tenth of its power at most.
Since the Cloud Plate Armor could only have this little defense effect, Jiang Beiran felt that he had more ways to do it better, and there was no need to owe Order Master Shi a favor at all.
“It seems that there’s a deeper meaning waiting for me to discover…”
Just like that, Jiang Beiran thought as he returned to the back of the mountain.
The next morning, Jiang Beiran went to a pavilion at the foot of the mountain outside Anliang Village. From afar, he saw Lin Yuyan in the pavilion, wearing the suit of blending in that he had given her previously.
The suit of blending in that Lin Yuyan was wearing was actually an enhanced version. Not only would it reduce her presence in the crowd, but even if she stood alone in the same place, it would blend into the surrounding environment and would not be noticed by others. Its effect was fairly good. After using his mind power to check that there were no abnormalities in the vicinity, Jiang Beiran slowly walked to the front of the pavilion.
“Greetings, Brother Jiang.” Upon discovering Jiang Beiran’s arrival, Lin Yuyan, who had been waiting here since Yin Shi, immediately stood up and greeted him. “Good morning.” Jiang Beiran greeted Lin Yuyan.
In order to complement the “plain and unadorned” suit of blending in, Lin Yuyan specially wore a linen shirt today. Her entire body emitted a fresh and idyllic scent.
“Brother Jiang’s gaze only lingered on me for a breath. He didn’t even take another look. Could it be that I matched it wrong?” Sighing in her heart, Lin Yuyan bowed and said, “I’m really very grateful Brother Jiang to come today. It has given me a lot of confidence in the competition in two months’ time.”
“Actually, your calligraphy has already reached the level of perfection. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to teach you anything.”
Hearing her senior brother say such a long sentence of compliment to her, Lin Yuyan immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
“If it’s a dream, please don’t let me wake up.”
After praying in her heart, Lin Yuyan calmed down and replied, “Brother Jiang, you’re flattering me. Compared to your calligraphy, I’m still far from it.”
“Don’t be so modest.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran sat on the stone chair in the pavilion and asked, “Have you brought your calligraphy?”
“Yes, here they are.”
Lin Yuyan quickly spread out a piece of rice paper and placed it on the stone table in front of Jiang Beiran.
“Yes, they are indeed not bad.”
The Land of the Black Dragon respected the strong, but because there were still many ordinary people, and the cultivators all had some small hobbies in art. So, the development of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting this his land was not bad, but it was only not bad. Take this word for example. Even some calligraphy masters only cared about the horizontal and vertical lines of the word, whether the structure was stable, and whether the strokes were even in thickness, the shape of the strokes, the chessboard-like patterns, and the most basic things.
It could be said that it greatly limited the richness of the aesthetic and the progress of the calligraphy techniques.
For example, even if you took Zhang Xu’s representative work “Stomachache Post” for those masters in this world to admire, they would definitely give comments like, “Unable to recognize the word”, “Scribbling”, “Not neat enough”, or even “Ugly calligraphy”.
Jiang Beiran had once thought of bringing the beautiful culture of seal script, semi-cursive script, and cursive script here, but he had never found an opportunity. “If Lin Yuyan can become famous in this calligraphy competition and gradually become a master calligrapher, I can let her write a cursive script. Then nobody would dare to criticize cursive script an ugly calligraphy?’
“Hmm… interesting.” “It’s the Cloud Plate Armor…’
