Gu Fancai didn't want to be Lu Ya's accompanying doctor.

She had heard from Meng Lianying that Lu Ya was constantly on the front lines of monster hunting, rushing wherever there were many monsters. Lu Ya was strong, and while he could easily kill low-level monsters, he was already putting all his energy into dealing with an S-level wind bear. If a whole pack of S-level monsters suddenly appeared, and Lu Ya died, wouldn't she, staying by his side, be buried with him?

Besides, Qing Teng is an A-level wood-type mutant. Taishan was almost dead but was saved by Qing Teng. His healing ability is much stronger than hers. Lu Ya did not recruit Qing Teng or other wood-type mutants in the base, but had to recruit her. It seems that he has ulterior motives.

"Thank you for your kindness, young marshal, but I am really timid, otherwise grandpa would not have sent me to the base and he would have acted alone." Gu Fan rejected him sincerely and ashamedly.

Lu Ya didn't say much, and asked, "What is your grandfather going to do?"

Gu Fan, holding a lunch box, said worriedly, "He wants to refine a medicinal pill, but he needs to gather five S-level monsters of the five elements. As you know, S-level monsters often appear in sparsely populated areas like mountains and rivers. It's not easy for him to find five at once."

Lu Ya: "Did he tell me what kind of medicine it was?"

Gu Fan shook her head. Seeing that Lu Ya had no other questions, she lowered her head and ate quietly, glancing at the snow-capped mountain top from time to time.

As a low-level alchemist, Gu Fan never expected that he would encounter the problem of difficulty in collecting medicinal materials.

In her original sect, there was a special mountain used for growing medicinal herbs. The sect's masters used formations to create environments such as extreme cold and scorching heat, and all common herbs were available. She only needed to hand over 40% of each batch of pills she refined to the sect, and then she could go to the medicine field to collect herbs at will.

Now, she still has to take the trouble to collect medicinal herbs.

If she had known this, she would have stored more whole herb seedlings in the storage space.

After taking two bites of the food, Gu Fan thought of Lu Ya's words again.

Lu Ya was actually worried that monsters would organize a group to attack the base one day, and he even prepared supplies to abandon the Jiangnan base and build a new base.

Gu Fan had already experienced the monkeys scattering when the tree fell. If the Jiangnan base...

Gu Fan secretly looked at Lu Ya.

If that day really comes and she still has no ability to protect herself, she will reveal her fasting pill to Lu Ya or other strong people in the base, and ask them to protect her as a talent. But before that, Gu Fan still likes a free and easy lifestyle, and neither joining a mercenary team nor joining the army is within her consideration.

Lu Ya knew she was peeping, and interpreted Gu Fan's eyes as meaning something else: "Eat, and after you finish eating, I'll accompany you to find snow lotus."

Gu Fan was flattered. How could an S-level expert be so easy to talk to?

Lu Ya: "The base is also conducting ongoing drug research, using high-tech equipment. If you're interested, I can take you on a tour. We can exchange experiences and perhaps both sides will benefit."

Gu Fan was really intrigued by him. Earth's technology was so amazing, maybe there were some good things about it in the area of ​​alchemy.

After resting for half an hour, the two were ready to set off.

Advanced armor can keep out the cold. Lu Ya went into the car and changed into a set of intact armor. When she came out, she saw Gu Fan smearing the blood of the wind bear on her body. The blood was taken from the space and was very fresh with a strong smell.

Seeing Lu Ya staring at her, Gu Fan explained, "We haven't fought before. The high-level monsters here aren't afraid of your aura, but the wind bears and the others are definitely afraid. This will avoid trouble, and we can just focus on finding the snow lotus."

Lu Ya: "Yeah."

Gu Fan stretched out his hand towards him: "Do you want to apply some?"

Lu Ya's face was cold: "No need."

Gu Fan just took care of himself.

After getting ready, the two of them activated their flying boots and headed to the top of Fairy Peak with a fishy smell on their bodies.

It must be the blood of the wind bear that worked, no monsters appeared, and the two landed safely on the top of the mountain.

It is extremely cold at high altitudes, the mountain wind is strong, and the flying snow is almost blinding.

Gu Fan looked around and asked Lu Ya, "Are there any high-level monsters here?"

Ordinary monsters would not come to such a place, but monsters that can live in extreme environments for a long time must be extraordinary.

In the wind and snow, Lu Ya's murderous aura became even stronger. He looked ahead and said, "I don't know. I've never been here."

When Gu Fan heard this, he immediately moved closer to him: "Then let's look for it together, don't separate."

Lu Ya glanced at the woman beside him and agreed.

Next, Gu Fan was responsible for observing the ground to look for snow lotus, and Lu Ya was responsible for vigilance.

Gu Fan still trusted his ability and concentrated on searching.

Before the great radiation, Fairy Peak was a famous tourist attraction, often visited by tourists. Some of these tourists picked rare flowers and plants wantonly, causing the number of plants on the top of the mountain to gradually decrease. But fifty years later, humans retreated to the base and no one came to disturb them, and the ecology of the top of the mountain returned to its former prosperity.

In a sheltered valley, Gu Fan suddenly discovered two snow lotuses. It was the flowering season, and the light green leaves supported a circle of pure white petals, pure and clean, and trembled slightly under the influence of the strong wind in the distance.

A strange shock suddenly arose in Gu Fan's heart.

When she was in the sect, snow lotus was easy to obtain, and she had never taken it seriously. Now that she was standing on the top of a real snow mountain and had experienced the bone-chilling cold, Gu Fan finally understood how precious the snow lotus was.

The petals of the snow lotus are very large. When combined with other herbs, one petal can be used to refine ten scar-removing pills.

The snow lotus in front of me has nine petals, and I can make ninety of them.

Since snow lotus is much more difficult to pick than Aconitum, Gu Fan decided to raise the price of scar-removing pills when she opened the pharmacy.

Earth is different from the cultivation continent. Even though the low-level elixirs she can refine are considered inferior in the eyes of cultivators, Gu Fan has to re-price them considering the difficulty of obtaining the medicinal materials.

"Can the base's technology simulate the growing environment of the snow-capped mountains?" Gu Fan asked Lu Ya before picking.

Lu Ya: "Yes, cooling is very simple."

Gu Fan felt relieved. He took out a hoe, squatted on the ground, and carefully dug out the two snow lotus flowers along with the soil underneath, and instantly put them into the space.

"Let's go down the mountain." Gu Fan stood up again and looked down the mountain.

Lu Ya: "You only need two?"

Gu Fan explained, "Snow lotus is not easy to grow. By utilizing the storage capacity of the crystal space and the base's technology, if I take good care of these two, they will be enough for me to refine the scar-removing pill. Why should I be greedy for more?"

Lu Ya suddenly remembered the scene when she was picking herbs just now. She was very cautious and had a kind of piety from the bottom of her heart. Her fair face was almost the same color as the snow lotus.

The two began to fly downwards.

Gu Fan looked around below and saw a sparkling lake further west of the mountains.

Her eyes lit up.

Lu Ya: "Are there any herbs you need in the lake?"

Gu Fan: "Well, Qinglin grass is commonly found at the bottom of large lakes. It contains abundant water and wood elements. When refining hair growth pills, scar removal pills, and whitening pills, adding a little Qinglin grass will improve the quality of the pills."

Lu Ya: “Never heard of it.”

Gu Fan took out the tablet and found the Qinglin grass. It had the corresponding names from Earth written on it. "Grandpa probably thought these names were too complicated, so he gave them new, more understandable names to make it easier for me to remember."

Lu Ya observed the picture. The green unicorn grass, photographed in the water, had stems and leaves spread out and floating, and indeed had some outlines of a unicorn.

"Let's go and take a look."

Gu Fan quickly stopped him and said, looking at the deep lake, "There are many monsters in the water, so let's just forget it."

In fact, Qinglin grass is the key herb for refining flesh-growing and blood-replenishing pills, supplemented by the blood of low-level monsters.

Gu Fan certainly wanted to gather the Qinglin grass, but the lake felt unfathomable to her. She hadn't even told Lu Ya about its medicinal properties, so how could she possibly let him accompany her on this adventure? Water restricted breathing and movement, and the bottom of a lake was far more terrifying than the top of a mountain.

The flesh-growing and blood-replenishing pills were good things, but they were not the pills she had to sell to survive in the base. The stock in the storage jade bracelet was enough for her.

"Go down."

Gu Fan was the first to fly towards the RV where the two men left behind where Feng Xiong was buried.

Lu Ya glanced at the lake and followed.

Tonight Lu Ya asked Gu Fan to sleep in the car while he would keep watch.

Gu Fan didn't need to sleep. She hoped that Lu Ya could quickly recover his peak mental strength through sleep.

Lu Ya guessed that she had a special way to maintain her spirit and agreed.

There was no movement in the RV. Gu Fan set up the spirit stone defense formation and continued to practice, making full use of the rich spiritual energy in this place.

The night passed peacefully. At dawn, Gu Fan quietly put away the defensive formation.

Another hour later, Lu Ya woke up.

"Should we fly out of the mountains and then drive?" Gu Fan asked him how to return to the base.

Lu Ya asked her an irrelevant question: "Which is more medicinal, snow lotus or Qinglin grass?"

Gu Fan was stunned.

Lu Ya: "Tell the truth."

Gu Fan already understood what he meant and frowned, "Are you still looking for Qinglin Grass? Qinglin Grass is just an auxiliary medicine that improves the medicinal properties. It is far less precious than Snow Lotus."

Lu Ya: "But I think you want the Qinglin Grass more."

Gu Fan: "You feel wrong."

Lu Ya didn't like arguing and said, "Let's go to the lake and take a look. I have a diving robot that can explore the bottom of the lake."

Gu Fan heard a new word, what is a diving robot?

Half an hour later, the two landed at the lake at the same time.

The lake, which seemed so vast even from high above, was now right before our eyes, with no end in sight.

There are some abandoned buildings scattered around the lake, which shows that humans were active here before the great radiation.

Lu Ya said to Gu Fan, "The base has decided to clear out all the monsters in the Anshi area. Besides killing the Wind Bear, my other mission this time is to explore this lake area. This is also the only place where a second S-rank monster might be hiding."

The Wind Bear occupied the land, and it could not tolerate a second terrestrial S-class monster coming to grab its territory. However, as for the potential S-class monsters that originally lived in this lake, the Wind Bear and it each occupied their own territory and were kings. Firstly, there was no need for conflict, and secondly, it did not dare to jump into the water to provoke.

Gu Fan had already begun to feel cold. He retreated behind him, looked at the center of the lake and said, "If there is, what are your chances of winning?"

Lu Ya: "The chances of winning can only be judged after a fight. With my ability, even if I can't win, it won't be difficult to escape unscathed."

The young man is too frivolous!

Gu Fan couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "Don't think you're at the pinnacle of human strength and underestimate the power of beasts. You might be more familiar with land monsters, but these are hidden in the water and never show up. How do you know if they've undergone more advanced mutations?"

Lu Ya: "It is precisely because we don't understand that we need to explore."

As he spoke, Lu Ya released a fish-shaped robot from the space. It was about 30 centimeters long, black and white, with a fat head and a fat belly.

Weird, yet kind of cute.

Gu Fan picked up the Fat Fish and started studying it, just like when he first came into contact with a tablet.

Suddenly, a device inside the fat fish flashed.

Gu Fan subconsciously turned his head and saw that Lu Ya had sat on a chair with a tablet on his knees.

Gu Fan walked over holding Fatty and looked at the screen.

On the screen was a person's chin, swaying back and forth, and then the chin disappeared, revealing plump breasts wrapped in armor.

Gu Fan was still wondering what was going on when Lu Ya suddenly snatched the fat fish from her arms and pointed the detection camera at the lake.

Gu Fan realized it later: ...
