Yan Yi still made a purchase plan and handed it to Qin Ran, saying, "First Seat, I still want to go with you!"
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Qin Ran looked at the tender purchase plan in his hand and asked casually.
Yan Yi was silent for a good while before saying, "I can't let you go alone."
Who is not afraid of death?
It's just that people sometimes have something else to pursue.
For Yan Yi, Qin Ran had saved his life and led him onto a completely different path in life, teaching him many things...
Yan Yi didn't have any other skills, but at least he was a grateful person.
"Ha ha..." Qin Ran laughed lightly and said, "Then let's go together! The scenery of Zhican Valley is quite beautiful."
The day before going to Zhican Valley, Qin Ran took the spirit stone and then went to the cave mansion of Gu Yueming, the headmaster.
"Headmaster, I'm going to Zhican Valley again tomorrow for the second time," he said, saluting.
After interacting with him at close range several times, Gu Yueming gradually understood his temperament and knew what he was here for. He didn't open his eyes to look at him, just said, "Could it be that every time you go there, you have to come to me for benefits?"
"No..." With his innocent eyes telling big lies after being caught in the act, Qin Ran said solemnly, "Although Zhican Valley is like a dragon pool and tiger's den where I could easily die, I came to the headmaster only to report my work schedule, and I absolutely don't have any thoughts of claiming credit."
Gu Yueming didn't pay any attention to his words at all. He changed the subject and asked about the Medicine Pavilion: "What's going on with your Medicine Pavilion? Why have so many people been replaced all of a sudden? Where are those previous stewards and disciples? I guess the recent exam was also your doing?"
"The headmaster doesn't know that those Medicine Pavilion stewards and disciples were too eager to improve themselves. Their cultivation went too fast and their state of mind couldn't keep up, resulting in the birth of inner demons and their falling onto the demonic path." Qin Ran said with innocent eyes, "Those demon heads were extremely fierce and arrogant. They actually set up a scheme to kill me. I accidentally entered that life-and-death situation. Fortunately, I was blessed by the headmaster and narrowly escaped death."
"What about those disciples?"
Qin Ran looked grieved. "They were too heavily demonized. In the end, they killed indiscriminately in their chaos. They all died."
"They killed themselves?"
Qin Ran bowed and said, "May the headmaster see clearly."
"You didn't make a move?"
"How could I make a move? Headmaster, you are knowledgeable and experienced. You know that compared to other cultivators, we alchemists have much weaker combat abilities, much weaker." Qin Ran said sincerely, "Among cultivators, alchemists are like scholars among ordinary people, both being completely powerless. I unfortunately witnessed that human purgatory and was frightened excessively. I haven't slept well for over a month now."
These words made Gu Yueming understand Qin Ran more and more. This guy was typically pure on the surface but extremely sly on the inside. None of his words could be believed, not even the punctuation.
"I really found the right person by letting you deal with Zhican Valley!" He couldn't help but exclaim.
"???" Qin Ran opened his eyes wide and said solemnly, "Headmaster, what do you mean? What deal with Zhican Valley? My relationship with Zhican Valley is one of gentlemanly business, absolutely no plots or schemes."
"Alright!" Gu Yueming didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore. He waved him away, "I won't punish you for the Medicine Pavilion affair. From now on, whether you go to Zhican Valley or not, just don't come disturb this old man's spiritual cultivation anymore. Recently I sensed the path to transforming into a celestial being. If I don't achieve that transformation, I'll blame it on you for affecting my enlightenment."
His words made Qin Ran want to spit out a mouthful of disdain but he didn't know where to start: You don't even know the Medicine Pavilion was a den of spies! How can you blame me? And you, just a bag of old bones that capped out at the YuanYing stage, claim you sensed the path to transform into a celestial being... Who would believe that?
But in the end, he bowed and said, "Yes, Headmaster."
He didn't get any benefits this time. Instead, he got scolded badly. Ever since Qin Ran came to this world, he had never done such an unprofitable deal... No, he had done unprofitable things before, like teaching Jian Yuanjie, Dao Sword Sect's genius disciple, for free... Oh right, that didn't seem to be unprofitable.
On September 20th at 10 am, Qin Ran arrived on time with Yan Yi on his cloud and went to Zhican Valley.
At 5 pm, they appeared on time at the entrance of Zhican Valley.
Without mentioning how Yan Yi was shocked by the fairy scenes here that were completely different from Dao Sword Sect, let's talk about Qin Ran and Elder Sun.
Today was the fixed trading date between Dao Sword Sect and Zhican Valley set by Jian Yuanjie. So Elder Sun was still waiting respectfully, modestly and politely at the entrance with his two disciples, instead of not showing up due to his plot against Qin Ran.
"Elder Qin!" Seeing Qin Ran, he enthusiastically came up to greet him, as if he didn't send people to intercept and kill Qin Ran, and as if the people he sent out didn't get poisoned to death by Qin Ran. He smiled and greeted, "The journey is long. Elder Qin, you had a hard time coming."
"No no..." Qin Ran also acted as if he didn't know the ambush and poisoning were done by Elder Sun in front of him. He returned the courtesy with a smile, "I troubled Elder Sun to wait. You had a hard time."
After the two cunning old foxes finished the pleasantries, Elder Sun led Qin Ran into Zhican Valley.
Elder Sun casually chatted, "Where is that little friend Feng Feiyan? Why was he replaced by this unfamiliar little brother?!"
"Damn bandits!" As soon as Elder Sun mentioned this, Qin Ran's emotions instantly flared up. He cried loudly, "I only knew there used to be bandits before, but I didn't expect there would still be bandits nowadays! That day after we bought pills from you, we were happily on our way back when we ran into bandits halfway... Our Feiyan died to protect the sect's pills... Leaving me as the only survivor to return to the sect..."
He looked so grieved that one couldn't tell how deep his feelings were for Feng Feiyan from his performance. Only that it seemed very deep.
Yan Yi was originally immersed in the beauty of Zhican Valley. He was shocked back by Qin Ran's wail. He could feel that Feng Feiyan's death wouldn't be simple and unrelated to Qin Ran.
But...
Was it necessary to be so dramatic?
Elder Sun quickly comforted him with kind words. After a while, Qin Ran finally stopped crying... Acting skills.
Only then did he introduce Yan Yi to Elder Sun, "This is Yan Yi, my newly accepted steward disciple. He will accompany me to purchase pills from your esteemed sect from now on."
Hearing his name, Yan Yi quickly came up and said, "Greetings to Elder Sun."
Elder Sun smiled and nodded, "Welcome, little friend Yan, to come play often."
The few people chatted as they passed through the mountain-guarding grand formation, and came to the high terrace behind the mountain gate again, overlooking the scenic bird language and fragrant flowers of Zhican Valley.
Although it was his second time seeing it, Qin Ran still felt amazed. Such a beautiful sight, no matter how many times he saw it, he would never get tired of it. It would be enjoyable every time!
"Zhican Valley is truly beautiful!" He exclaimed again.
"Elder Qin is welcome to come reside here often." Elder Sun said with a laugh.
"I definitely will next time!"
