At 5:30 in the morning, Gu Fan opened his eyes and ended a night of practice.
This Phoenix Mountain is a good place. The concentration of spiritual energy there is about the same as that in her original house in the sect. If it weren't for the modern furniture in the villa reminding her, Gu Fan would have thought she had returned to the sect.
Gu Fan walked to the window and pushed it open. Outside was the back garden of the villa. It was originally reserved for the owner to grow flowers, but was reclaimed by Gu Fan into a medicinal field. Because she would be going to An City with Lu Jiajun in mid-July, Gu Fan left the medicinal field empty for the time being. When she came back, she would transplant the herbs in the space and take good care of them.
Seven o'clock was the time for everyone to have breakfast together. Gu Fan strolled in the garden, and then drove out of the villa in the blue sports car she bought for 10,000 merit points.
In fact, it only takes ten minutes to walk from here to Xinghe and his family's villa, but Gu Fan just got his driver's license and bought a new car, so he is still enjoying it and of course he drives more often.
These cheap commuter cars don't have any advanced features to resist monsters, but they are all designed to be stylish and cool. Gu Fan walked around the car store and fell in love with this cyan electric sports car at first sight. The price of 10,000 points is already a relatively high-end grade among commuter cars. Of course, there are more expensive ones, including the same model as Lu Ya's scrapped car, a top-level supercar.
Gu Fan deliberately maintained a relatively slow speed.
The mountain breeze blew towards him, and Gu Fan took a deep breath, feeling refreshed.
Settled in the second ring road, he has a villa, a sports car, and a large piece of forest used as a medicinal field. Gu Fan is very satisfied with this life.
The cyan sports car skillfully stopped outside Villa No. 2.
Xinghe was reading the newspaper and Fenghuo was cooking in the kitchen.
Gu Fan looked around, looked upstairs, sat down next to Xinghe and said, "Where are Qingteng and the others? Are they all sleeping in?"
Xinghe smiled and said, "They are preparing a moving-in gift for you."
Gu Fan: ...
She listened attentively, but it was quiet upstairs and there didn't seem to be any big commotion.
More than ten minutes later, just when Fenghuo announced that dinner was ready, Qingteng and the other two came back as if on time.
The three of them had nothing in their hands. Gu Fan looked behind them and saw no gifts.
Meng Lianying smiled at her and said, "Xinghe told you, didn't he? Wait, I'll take you to see it after dinner."
Xinghe: "I only said that you prepared gifts, but I didn't say what the gifts were."
Meng Lianying understood: "That's even better. I'll give Fanfan a surprise later."
Gu Fan didn't quite believe it. She was already a hundred years old. Apart from the good things that cultivators could use, such as high-level magic weapons or techniques, what surprises could these earthlings prepare for her?
After breakfast, Fenghuo and Meng Lianying escorted Gu Fan into the car.
Fenghuo drove the car, while Gu Fan and Meng Lianying sat in the back seat.
The car wound its way along the flat asphalt mountain road and gradually reached the outskirts of the forest where they belonged.
There was no clear dividing line between the mountains and forests, and the ownership was entirely determined by the top of the mountain. However, in front of Gu Fan, a circle of earthen walls more than three meters high appeared, and the inside and outside of the earthen walls were covered with dense thorny green vines.
In just one night, this wall...
Gu Fan looked at Meng Lianying in shock.
Meng Lianying said proudly, "This is the result of the joint efforts of me, Qingteng, and Taishan. There's a metal frame inside the earth wall, so monsters below level A can't break it open. The green vine has thorns, so ordinary people can't climb over it. If we weren't worried about children playing with it, we would have made the green vine poisonous. Oh, and I'll install a surveillance camera for you later. If anyone or a monster approaches the earth wall, the camera will alert you through the communication bracelet. That way, even if we're out on a mission and you're alone here, you'll have time to respond if you run into danger."
Fenghuo added, "In fact, killing one another is strictly prohibited in the base. Whether you are a superpowered person or an ordinary person, anyone who violates the base law will be severely punished. So it's safe for you to live here. But we know you are timid and have many concerns, so we designed this gift to make you feel more at ease."
Gu Fan looked at the circle of high walls and felt very happy, but he didn't know what to say.
No one ever bothered to prepare a gift for her.
Before joining the sect, she was just an ordinary farm girl from a small mountain village. Her parents valued her younger brother more, and she and her sisters were just good helpers. She was lucky. At the age of thirteen, she was taken away by the sect's disciple selection officer. From then on, she entered the immortal gate and embarked on a path completely different from her sisters.
Cultivators are often cold-hearted. Her weak five spiritual roots meant she was at the bottom of the sect. She either cultivated or took on chores like tending to the medicinal fields. Aside from the stewards, she kept to herself, having virtually no contact with anyone else. It wasn't until she learned to refine pills and began selling them that she began to interact with others, purely out of mutual interest.
After coming to Earth, Meng Lianying treated her well because he had taken her medicine.
Xinghe, Fenghuo and others treated her well, partly because of Meng Lianying's attitude and partly because she knew how to make medicine.
Not to mention Lu Ya.
But Gu Fan could feel the difference between the Galaxy Team and Lu Ya. Although the Galaxy Team's enthusiasm had prerequisites, their concern was sincere. They were worried that Lu Ya would do something bad to her after taking her away, and that she would be scared living here alone. Unlike Lu Ya, he only wanted to dig out her secrets and use her healing power. Lu Ya didn't care about her emotions.
"Fanfan, why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you about to cry with emotion?" Fenghuo looked back while driving.
Gu Fan would not cry, and teased Feng Huo, "I was moved because of Lian Ying and the others, you didn't help them."
war:……
His fire ability is really useless in building barriers.
But Fenghuo quickly thought of his own contributions: "Fanfan, you can't think like that. Look, I make delicious food for you every day. Three meals a day may not seem like a big deal, but if you skip one, you'll be hungry. Who among you can live without me? This is my silent and continuous care. I'm a low-key person and don't want to mention it every day, but you can't forget it."
Gu Fan laughed.
The communication bracelet on my right hand suddenly flashed, which meant someone was requesting communication.
Gu Fan glanced at the bracelet panel and answered the call.
A familiar cold tone came over: "You're not at the villa? I'm here to pick you up and take you to the research base for a tour."
Hearing Lu Ya's voice, Fenghuo and Meng Lianying exchanged glances, slowly parked the car on the side of the road, and held their breath tacitly.
Gu Fan felt that the two men's eyes were strange, but he still started chatting with Lu Ya first: "We moved and now live in Fenghuang Mountain in the second ring road. Where is the scientific research base? Tell me the location and I will come to find you myself."
Lu Ya: "Is Lianying by your side?"
Gu Fan: "Yes."
Lu Ya: "He knows the address, let him take you there, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance."
The communication ended here.
Fenghuo was already lying on the back of the car, staring at Gu Fan and asking, "Master Lu wants you to go to the research base?"
Gu Fan nodded and explained, "Pills are also medicine. I wanted to see how your base makes medicine. He also thought that it might be helpful for me to communicate with the researchers at the base, so he suggested taking me over for a tour."
Fenghuo scratched his head. He knew nothing about making medicine or refining pills. He only knew how to grill meat.
Meng Lianying urged him, "This place is a little far from the base. Get out of the car and go back by yourself. I'll take Fanfan there right away."
Fenghuo: "I'll go with you."
Meng Lianying: "You can't just go to the base casually. If you get close, the military will suspect you have ulterior motives. It's better not to cause trouble for our team and get down quickly."
As he spoke, Meng Lianying got out of the car from the back seat, walked around to the front, and pulled down the beacon fire.
Fenghuo stood on the side of the road cursing.
Meng Lianying turned around and asked Gu Fan, "Do you want to sit in the front?"
The view ahead was good, so Gu Fan went around it. After she fastened her seat belt, Meng Lianying waved at the beacon fire abandoned on the roadside without looking back, and then drove away.
Gu Fan tilted his head and smiled apologetically at Fenghuo.
The car drove for a distance, and the sound of combat boots starting was heard from behind. It was such a long mountain road, and the beacon fire flew back.
There are few people living around Phoenix Mountain, and the Lu family's scientific research base is also built in the mountainous area of the central area. Meng Lianying chose a road that did not pass through densely populated residential areas and arrived at the destination smoothly.
There is also a similar circle of high walls around the Lu family base.
There was a black SUV parked at the entrance of the base. It was Lu Ya's.
Meng Lianying parked the car next to the SUV and greeted Lu Ya with a bright smile: "Cousin! I heard from Fanfan that you went to Anshi a few days ago to kill the black snake. Did you succeed?"
Lu Ya glanced at him, hummed lightly, and then called Gu Fan who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Come here, get in my car."
Gu Fan had already changed seats once before coming here and was too lazy to bother again: "Isn't it different if we take the company's car? Why do we need to change?"
Lu Ya: "Outside vehicles and unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter the base."
Gu Fan & Meng Lianying: ...
While Meng Lianying was still protesting to Lu Ya, Gu Fan silently opened the car door. Although she was not Lu Ya's cousin, after the trip to Anshi, Gu Fan already knew Lu Ya's character very well, and he always kept his word.
Seeing that Gu Fan had compromised, Meng Lianying had no choice but to say, "Okay, then you guys wait, I'll park the car on the side of the road and go in with you!"
Lu Ya just looked at the entrance of the base.
After Gu Fan got in the car, Lu Ya turned his head and said to Meng Lianying, who had just opened the car door and was about to come over, "The tour may last a long time. You go back first. There's no need to wait."
After saying that, Lu Ya drove the off-road vehicle and drove into the base without mercy.
Meng Lianying: ...
He stared at his cousin's SUV in amazement, then at the four A-level psychics guarding the base entrance. Knowing that it was hopeless to break in without permission, he could only curse at the SUV: "Lu Ya! You have no humanity! I don't have a cousin like you!"
Lu Ya drove the car indifferently.
Gu Fan turned around and watched the Menglianying figure getting smaller and smaller at the entrance of the base. He suddenly felt that Menglianying at this moment was very much like the beacon fire left on the roadside on Phoenix Mountain.
"Lian Ying is your cousin, so he is not related to you?" Gu Fan looked back at Lu Ya and asked curiously.
Lu Ya said: "Everything in the base is a military secret. He is a mercenary now."
Gu Fan was even more confused by the strictness. "I'm not from the military either. Is it okay for you to bring me in?"
Lu Ya: "I will accompany you throughout today's tour and ensure that you do not have access to any core secrets."
Gu Fan thought that Meng Lianying was able to keep the secret of the flesh-growing and blood-replenishing pill for her, so it was impossible for him to leak the internal information of the Lu family army. It could only be said that Lu Ya was too suspicious and was even worried about his own cousin.
Such a person, if he practices Taoism, will definitely be able to cut off all emotions and love and ascend to heaven immediately.
