Chapter 82 A plan against Daojianmen
Li Shiyin flew away from the Deacon Hall, circled around the main peak, and arrived in front of the Shangshi Hall.
She saw Qin Ran at the door of Shangshi Hall in mid-air, so she landed directly behind Qin Ran and skipped over.
"Master, are you waiting for me?" she asked with a smile.
When Qin Ran heard this, he turned around and saw Li Shiyin. He did not admit it. Even if he was killed, he would not say that he was afraid that she would not find anyone. He came to the door to wait for her. He only said: "I just arrived, and they are still preparing medicinal materials."
Daojianmen will collect a certain share of elixirs from Danfeng on the fifteenth day of every month. At the same time, at the beginning of each month, Danfeng will provide medicinal materials for refining elixirs.
Li Shiyin came over today to collect the monthly payment, and Qin Ran came with him to collect the medicinal materials.
"Then you are really slow." Li Shiyin curled her lips. She thought about the monthly payment again and complained to Qin Ran, "Master... Master! I just went to collect the monthly payment, and then they said that I can receive it last month. Yes! You can get it last month...but you don’t know! You cost me a month’s payment, do you know?”
"Really?" You can receive your monthly payment on the same day you join the Dao Sword Sect? Kieran indeed just found out about this, so he couldn't help but ask, "How many spiritual stones can you receive?"
"Five hundred!!" Li Shiyin stretched out a hand, spread out five slender and neat fingers, and gestured angrily to Qin Ran.
Qin Ran nodded and said, "That's really amazing."
Daojian Sect has its own vein of spiritual minerals, and the amount of spiritual stones distributed to its disciples is relatively large.
"There are still some pills..." Li Shiyin said, and then remembered something, "Master, why don't you receive the monthly payment? How many spiritual stones are there in your monthly payment?"
"I don't like spirit stones." Qin Ran said.
"...Liar." Li Shiyin could tell at a glance. She took out a bottle of elixir from the Qiankun bag and handed it to Qin Ran, "Master, is this the elixir you refined?"
Qin Ran took it, opened the jade seal, looked at it, shook his head and said, "Where did you get it? The quality is just below the lower grade, the quality is very poor."
"You get it as a monthly payment!" Li Shiyin said.
"Received from the monthly offering?" Qin Ran was stunned, looking at the pill bottle in his hand and fell into deep thought.
"Master? Master! Master!"
Li Shiyin screamed several times before waking him up.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with this elixir?" Li Shiyin asked.
"Well..." Qin Ran muttered, "Be careful not to take the pills handed out by the sect in the future."
At this time, Jian Yuanjie walked out of Shangshi Hall holding a temporary Qiankun bag. He handed the Qiankun bag to Qin Ran and said, "Check it."
He looked at Li Shiyin next to him. Li Shiyin was dressed in white and holding a sword. She was really eye-catching. He remembered the way Li Shiyin looked in the mud pit before. Under the contrast, he felt even more stunning. He couldn't help but praise, "What a pretty girl."
"Thank you!" Li Shiyin smiled politely.
Qin Ranruo looked at Jian Yuanjie meaningfully, but said nothing. He opened the Qiankun bag, checked the medicinal materials inside, then closed the Qiankun bag, with a calm expression, and asked Jian Yuanjie: "Nothing happened to the sect recently, right? ? We went out a few days ago."
"No!" Jian Yuanjie said with a smile, "It's just that the monsters have become more violent recently. Disciples who go out should pay more attention. It's not a big deal."
"There is a reason why the demonic beasts are collectively violent, right?" Qin Ran asked, "Did it be mentioned above?"
Jian Yuanjie shook his head and said: "They are all beasts, their wild nature is hard to change, and it is the spring and summer breeding season, so it is normal to be irritable."
"Yes..." Qin Ran nodded without saying much, and then he asked casually as if making small talk, "These medicinal materials were purchased at Zhishen Valley, right?"
"Yes!" Jian Yuanjie nodded, "Is there any problem? Is the quality wrong?"
"No..." Qin Ran said, "I was just asking."
After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and then said, "Senior Brother Jian, although you have not learned alchemy, my knowledge of medicinal materials and elixirs is far inferior to yours. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to learn from you... Why not go to Chiba next time?" When Shengu purchases medicinal materials, please take me with you, so that I can experience the transaction of bulk medicinal materials first-hand.”
"Hi!" Jian Yuanjie patted Qin Ran on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You are an alchemist. How can my little knowledge compare with a professional like yours? Purchasing medicinal materials is just a businessman's theory. It's too vulgar. , It’s not conducive to practice. It’s really a waste of time for you to follow. It’s better to calm down and study the elixir...or seize the time to improve your cultivation. It’s time for you to form the elixir.”
"Is that so? That's right..." Qin Ran laughed and nodded, "Okay then, I'd better concentrate on studying the elixirs. Buying and selling medicinal materials is a matter of luck to my senior brother."
After the two exchanged a few words, Qin Ran took Li Shiyin to say goodbye to Jian Yuanjie and left.
Jian Yuanjie stood there and watched Qin Ran go away. He looked at Qin Ran's back and the smile on his face disappeared little by little.
After walking out of Shangshitang, Qin Ran's face with a slight smile suddenly darkened, and his eyes shone with deep thought.
"Master...Master..." Li Shiyin looked scared. Kieran's unique skill of changing faces at the speed of light was really terrifying. She hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Qin Ran looked at Li Shiyin, shook his head solemnly, and said, "Nothing!"
How could he be fine when he was like this? It was just that he couldn't tell Li Shiyin about this matter.
Daojian Sect is one of the five major sects in the Northern Chu Kingdom. In terms of combat power alone, it is one of the best among the five sects. Although the comprehensive strength and popular prestige of a sect like Zhishengu is higher than that of other sects, if we only talk about fighting, Zhishengu will be ranked at the bottom of the five major sects.
So, when Daojianmen and Zhishengu, a sect of this size, trade in elixirs, Zhishengu should not, could not, and dared not to do anything. Although in private, the disciples of Zhishengu liked to sell inferior elixirs in Daojianmen, but in public, between sects, this kind of thing could not be done.
But now, this kind of thing happened, and it was done blatantly and extremely arrogantly.
Between sects, the elixirs sold by Zhishengu to Daojianmen were at least of medium quality... If Zhishengu did not have so many medium-quality elixirs at that time, then at least a certain amount of medium-quality elixirs should be guaranteed to be distributed to the inner disciples and direct disciples.
In other words, no matter what, the elixirs received by direct disciples must be of medium quality.
But the elixirs in the monthly payment for direct disciples that Li Shiyin received were of inferior quality.
In addition... the quality of the medicinal materials discovered by Qin Ran also showed a slight decline. It was common for the quality of medicinal materials to fluctuate, but after seeing the pills that Li Shiyin received, Qin Ran realized that the quality of medicinal materials had declined more than once or twice, but the amount of decline each time was very small, so he didn't notice it.
There was a conspiracy, a game, a game against Daojianmen, a game against the new disciples of Daojianmen, a game with an insider, and it was covering Daojianmen.
But what could Qin Ran do? Even if he knew that there was a game, he had no ability to change it!
Qin Ran shook his head.
No, no, it was not something he could do, he was just a small cultivator in the foundation building period. What could he do? All he had to do was to survive...
"No!" Qin Ran was walking and suddenly stopped, his face changed drastically, and he became horrified.
Because he suddenly realized...
If there was really such a game against Daojianmen and related to pills, then the first step of this game should be to get rid of Daojianmen's alchemists.
And he was the only alchemist in Daojianmen!
