Chapter 272: Elder in charge of medicine
Li Shiyin was very addicted to playing cards. She played cards for three days in a row, dragging Long Qiqi and Zhui Feng to play with them. In the end, Kieran couldn't stand it any longer and forcefully collected the cards, thus ending their round of misbehavior.
"Ah, it's so boring chasing the wind." Li Shiyin rolled on the cat climbing frame by Xijian Lake.
Zhui Feng's spot was occupied, so he lay down next to the cat climbing frame and took a nap with his hands folded.
After listening to Li Shiyin's words, he flicked his tail and out came two black tiger cubs. The cubs meowed and jumped onto the shelf.
Li Shiyin sat up from the shelf and hugged the two cute little tigers.
The cat climbing frame was carved out of a whole piece of stone by Li Shiyin. If a mortal saw it, they would call it a miracle, but it is just a cat climbing frame. There are some rich patterns on the shelf, which look very beautiful; the patterns are the formation patterns carved by Qin Ran to strengthen the shelf and prevent it from being crushed by the chasing wind.
Li Shiyin was quite happy playing with the little tiger at first. The little tiger was fluffy, cute and thick-skinned, but after a long time, she found it boring.
"Zhui Feng..." She hugged a pure black tiger cub and called Zhui Feng under the shelf.
"Ah?" Zhui Feng turned over and lay on the ground with his big belly exposed. He squinted at Li Shiyin and said helplessly, "What's wrong?"
"Come up here and let me beat you up!" Li Shiyin suggested seriously.
Zhui Feng snorted and turned his head: "Do you think I look like a fool?"
Li Shiyin stared at Zhui Feng for a long time, then nodded seriously and said: "Like!"
"Hi?" Zhui Feng sat up and stared at Li Shiyin with his big eyes, "I tell you to speak responsibly!"
"If you're not stupid, come up and let me beat you up." Li Shiyin said.
Zhui Feng thought about this sentence for a while but couldn't turn around. He stood up, intending to go up and give Li Shiyin a beating, but he always felt something was wrong.
He stood there and thought carefully for a while, feeling that it was a pit and he couldn't jump out of it.
"Didn't I tell you before that my boss taught me a very powerful magical power." He cleverly changed his mind and said to Li Shiyin, "I'll show you how to use it."
"New magical power?" Li Shiyin's eyes lit up and she said quickly, "Quickly, show me."
Upon hearing this, Zhui Feng raised his paw, seemingly about to use his magical power, but he suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his hesitant look, Li Shiyin asked in confusion.
"I haven't mastered this magical power well. If I use it like this, well, there might be a little problem..." Zhui Feng said hesitantly. "What's the problem?" Li Shiyin asked.
"That's it..." After Zhui Feng said this, he suddenly saw Qin Ran flying out of the study and quickly closed his mouth.
"Tell me what the problem is!" Li Shiyin didn't pay attention to Qin Ran and continued to ask Zhuifeng.
"What bad things are you two planning?" Qin Ran's voice suddenly sounded, startling Li Shiyin.
"What's the bad thing?" Li Shiyin turned to look at Kieran, "Master, how can you think of me like this? Am I not the most well-behaved and lovable person?"
Qin Ran looked Li Shiyin up and down, shook his head and said, "You have nothing to do with Guaiqiao."
"Master"
"Okay!" Qin Ran stopped Li Shiyin's coquettishness in time and said, "I'm going to the main peak, you two guys don't cause trouble!"
"How could we?!" Li Shiyin laughed and asked, "Master, why are you going to the main peak?"
"The master gave the order, I don't know what to do." Qin Ran shook his head, turned around and flew out of Dan Peak. He was very worried about the two bad guys, and turned back to warn, "Don't do bad things!"
"I promise it won't be bad!" Li Shiyin promised, patting her chest.
"Alas!" Qin Ran shook his head, turned and left.
Seeing Qin Ran coming out of the mountain protection formation, Li Shiyin quickly turned to Zhui Feng and said, "Hurry up and show me your magical power."
Zhui Feng remembered Qin Ran's warning and hesitated: "But dad said..."
"Master is gone, Danfeng, I am the boss!" Li Shiyin waved her hand, interrupted Zhui Feng, and said, "I ask you to use your magical powers, so you have to use your magical powers."
In fact, Zhuifeng himself wanted to show off, so he had no choice but to nod when he heard this: "Okay then..."
Qin Ran didn't expect that despite all his warnings and instructions, those two guys were still going to cause trouble, but he didn't even listen to any warnings. But he was almost at the main peak now and was powerless to stop what happened next.
The leader is not in the main hall, but in his own cave. According to the general thinking, inviting people to meet at home should be a private matter and not a big deal, so Qin Ran was mentally prepared, but not too much.
Unexpectedly, the first words he heard when he walked into the leader's cave were: "Jian Yuanjie is dead!"
Qin Ran was startled, thinking that he had been exposed, and quickly looked towards the headmaster, only to see the headmaster sitting cross-legged on the futon in the main seat with a worried look on his face. The leader didn't stare at him, he just sighed. He suddenly woke up and realized that his murder was not exposed.
"Senior Brother Jian is dead?" He pretended to be sad and shocked.
The leader really didn't pay attention to Qin Ran, otherwise he would have seen the young man's terrifying face-changing speed.
From the insouciance of the sunny otaku at the beginning, to the shock in his pupils when he first heard "Jian Yuanjie is dead", to the fear of thinking that he has been exposed, to the fierce look in his eyes ready to burn the boat, to the relief of discovering that he has not been exposed, to the pretended grief, Shocked, the expression changes in one go, extremely smoothly. With more than a dozen expressions changed in one second, even the face-changing stuntman had to accept the defeat.
"I couldn't find him after knocking on the door in Daoqian..." The leader's eyes were filled with sadness. "After many investigations over the past few days, it was finally confirmed that he was dead. Alas!"
Qin Ran held his forehead, squeezed out a few tears, and sighed: "I have always been on good terms with my senior brother, and I used to hand over elixirs and medicinal materials to him... When I knocked on the door, I also communicated with my senior brother... Unexpectedly , It’s really unpredictable. This... practice world is too dangerous!”
"Alas..." Gu Yueming, the leader, lamented again, but calmed down, called Qin Ran to sit down, and said, "The alchemists of our sword sect have always been ill-fated. They were prosperous thousands of years ago, but who would have expected that generation after generation The inheritance has withered so far; I didn’t expect that now, even those who know about elixirs can’t escape the bad luck. Could it be that some immortal master really cast a curse on the Dao Sword Sect?”
"It's time and destiny. Master, don't lament and hurt your body." Qin Ran comforted him.
Gu Yueming shook his head, looked at Qin Ran, and said: "Before, you and Jian Yuanjie were the only two people in the Daojian Sect who knew about elixirs. Now that Jian Yuanjie is dead, you are the only one in the Daojian Sect."
As soon as these words came out, inexplicably, Qin Ran suddenly felt a strange thing pressing on his shoulders... He clearly had no sense of belonging to the Dao Sword Sect! ?
"Previously, Danfeng was responsible for the internal elixir refining, and Jian Yuanjie was responsible for the external procurement of medicinal materials. Now Jian Yuanjie is gone..." Gu Yueming sighed, "I have called you here today to hand over the important task of external procurement of medicinal materials. There you go."
As he spoke, he took out a thumb-sized alchemy furnace token and gave it to Qin Ran, saying, "As the leader of the Alchemy Peak, you are already extremely tired in charge of the affairs of the peak. This task should not be entrusted to you, but... now I still want to I entrust you with the position of being the medicine elder.”
Qin Ran took the token and couldn't understand its meaning for a moment.
"In a few days, it will be time to go to Zhishen Valley to purchase medicinal materials." Gu Yueming said, "I just gave this task to you today. I really can't bear it, but... you go to the Deacon Hall now. Let’s get familiar with the relevant matters in advance…”
Qin Ran took the token, comforted Gu Yueming for a few words, then turned and left.
After Qin Ran left, Gu Yueming, who was sitting on the futon, straightened his face and asked out of thin air: "Is it him?"
"Without a doubt." A voice in the air answered him.
