The off-road vehicle moved forward steadily. In Gu Fan's mind, there was a black snake that was a hundred meters long, and then there was Lu Ya and his golden giant sword.
She knew that Lu Ya was an S-level expert, but she didn't expect Lu Ya to be so strong.
Feng Xiong and Black Snake both died at his hands. If Lu Ya had any evil intentions towards her...
Gu Fan glanced at Lu Ya quietly.
Lu Ya drove the car with an expressionless face.
Gu Fan looked at the navigation in the car again. The destination was indeed Phoenix Mountain, not some desolate mountain suitable for killing people.
Gu Fan was a little confused. He pinched his black crystal and said, "You are so powerful, and you suspect that I might have something good in my hands. Why don't you just arrest me?"
Lu Ya: "I'm not that kind of person."
Gu Fan admitted that he really didn't look like it.
"I'm not, but there are such strong people in the base, so you'd better be careful." Lu Ya suddenly added.
Gu Fan: "Thank you, I will be careful. Also be careful when you use the muscle-growing and blood-replenishing pills, don't expose me."
Lu Ya nodded, turned the steering wheel, and the car drove into a tunnel.
The light dimmed, and the two strings of light bulbs on the top of the tunnel shone brightly, like stars strung together on ropes.
Gu Fan looked up at the lights. There were so many new things in the base, both gorgeous and practical.
The light cast bright and dark shadows on her face. When the off-road vehicle approached the tunnel exit, Gu Fan closed her eyes in advance and waited calmly for the light to come in.
Lu Ya felt a sense of isolation from the world in her.
Most retail investors outside the base live in hiding. It’s not that they don’t want to go to the base, but the danger of rushing all the way is too great. They may die in the mouths of the endless monsters before they even reach the base. This is true for ordinary people, and those with special abilities are also in danger.
Gu Fan is different from those people. She has an S-level grandfather who is proficient in both wood and fire elements to protect her, and he is strong in both attack and healing.
From her few words, we can judge that Mr. Gu is a solitary person who is obsessed with alchemy. No wonder he has cultivated her into a person who seems to be talkative and cheerful but is actually extremely indifferent to the fate of mankind.
Professor Ma said that he is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so Gu Fan is hot on the outside but cold on the inside.
If she had not just arrived at the base that day and urgently needed to prove that she was not selling fake medicine, she would definitely not have paid attention to Lianying's injuries.
The silence continued, and Gu Fan looked at the Qinglin grass in the crystal again.
Perhaps because he had witnessed how she collected herbs, when Lu Ya collected these Qinglin grasses, there was lake bottom mud underneath each one. There were so many Qinglin grasses that Gu Fan suspected that Lu Ya might have scraped off a layer of skin from the lake bottom.
As he watched, Gu Fan suddenly thought of a question: "Did you collect all these Qinglin grasses by yourself, or do you have a robot that can collect herbs?"
Lu Ya pursed his lips slightly, as if recalling some unpleasant memories, and said coldly: "The base has never developed a robot with collection functions."
Gu Fan: ...
So, Lu Ya was the only one who dug up the Qinglin grass by groping at the bottom of the lake?
"Can you breathe underwater?" Gu Fan asked curiously.
Lu Ya put a diving suit towards the back seat, which was intuitive and clear.
Gu Fan observed it and was once again amazed in his heart. Although the diving suit was not as convenient and easy to use as the water-repellent beads and water-walking skills in the cultivation world, it was amazing that the earthlings could achieve this level.
After she finished looking at the diving suit, Lu Ya put it back into the space.
Gu Fan glanced at his cold face and felt like he should say something: "You gave me so much Qinglin grass, how can I thank you?"
Lu Ya: "You also gave me the flesh-growing and blood-replenishing pill."
Gu Fan's conscience began to uneasy again. Lu Ya didn't know how many flesh-growing and blood-replenishing pills the Qinglin grass in the crystal core could turn into, but she knew it, and she didn't like taking advantage of others for nothing. So now there were two choices before her: one was to refuse Lu Ya's gift, and the other was to give him an equal amount of compensation.
When she was in the sect, some disciples would collect some wild spiritual herbs for her, and then she would give him 40% of the pills she made.
"I've taken the herbs, but it takes time to replant them. I'll return them to you once I'm done. Is that okay?"
Lu Ya: "Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
——
We have arrived at Phoenix Mountain.
Lu Ya drove up the mountain road and soon saw the high wall that Qing Teng and the other two had built for Gu Fan. It was definitely the work of a supernatural being.
Gu Fan laughed dryly: "They know I'm timid, so they made this for me."
Lu Ya said: "If you are not confident about the security of the base, you can move to the villa next to me."
Gu Fan quickly refused: "No, no, this place is good, the price is cheap, and it's suitable for developing medicinal fields."
Lu Ya didn't try to persuade him much.
The SUV drove into the gate, turned a few corners, and two villas appeared in front.
At this moment, Fenghuo contacted Gu Fan: "Fanfan, how long will it take for you to arrive? I'm just one dish short."
Gu Fan: "Two minutes!"
Fenghuo: "So fast?"
A head popped out of the kitchen window of Villa No. 2, and Fenghuo's voice came directly from the bracelet: "Did Master Lu personally send you back? Hey, Master Lu, Master Lu, it's already noon. It's not easy for you to come all the way here. Eat here for lunch today. I'll add two more dishes and it will be ready soon!"
Gu Fan: ...
This guy is really good at pretending. Usually, Fenghuo and Lu Ya are the ones who complain the most in the team.
She looked at Lu Ya.
Lu Ya said to her bracelet: "Thank you."
That's consent.
Fenghuo cheered and ended the communication.
After a while, the off-road vehicle stopped outside Villa No. 2. Xinghe and Meng Lianying stood side by side outside. Of course, they were here to welcome Young Marshal Lu Ya.
Gu Fan was surprised to find that Meng Lianying was actually very tolerant towards Lu Ya. He was ruthlessly abandoned outside the scientific research base by Lu Ya in the morning, but now Meng Lianying seemed to have forgotten about it and entertained Lu Ya with a bright smile, vividly interpreting what it means to put your warm face on someone's cold butt.
However, when it was time to eat, Gu Fan understood the reason.
First, Fenghuo enthusiastically placed two large dishes in front of Lu Ya. Then, Meng Lianying respectfully bent down and poured Lu Ya a glass of red wine. "Cousin, we've also accepted the mercenary mission in An City. Since we've been so cooperative, can you tell us about that black snake? Fanfan said it was estimated to be a hundred meters long. Is that true?"
Lu Ya: "The black snake has been delivered to the research base. It's measured at ninety-seven meters long."
Meng Lianying's hand trembled and the red wine almost spilled out.
Xinghe, Taishan, Fenghuo and Qingteng all looked at Lu Ya intently. Gu Fan was about to pick up some food, but seeing everyone like this, she had no choice but to put down her chopsticks and wait silently.
Lu Ya briefly introduced some of the black snake's attributes and barely mentioned the killing process.
However, it was useless for him to explain in detail. The gap between A-level and S-level was like a chasm. Xinghe and others could not learn anything from his attack method.
Despite this, the five people from Xinghe could still feel the shock of this battle.
Lu Ya glanced at Gu Fan who was staring at the plate and picked up the chopsticks.
The meal was finally served. Gu Fan was silently happy and started eating the dishes he liked. Fenghuo's cooking skills were really amazing.
After dinner, seeing Meng Lianying pulling Lu Ya to chat, Gu Fan showed no interest. After thinking for a moment, he said to Xinghe, "Is there anything going on this afternoon that requires my participation?"
Xinghe thought for a second and shook his head: "What's wrong?"
Gu Fan smiled and said, "The previous stock of pills has been sold out. I will refine some hair growth pills or something."
Fenghuo: "Go ahead and practice. I promise no one will bother you."
Gu Fan thanked her and drove away in her Xiaoqing car.
After returning to her villa, Gu Fan went straight to the basement, where there was a room that she had cleaned up to use as an alchemy room.
After placing a spirit stone formation at the entrance of the basement, Gu Fan walked into the alchemy room, put out the alchemy furnace, and sat cross-legged.
Her storage jade bracelet can hold a football field of Earthlings. Earthlings would regard crystals of this capacity as treasures. However, it is very common in the continent of cultivation. Every disciple who joins a sect can get a Qiankun bag of this capacity. Gu Fan simply exchanged his Qiankun bag for a more beautiful jade bracelet.
The storage magic tools of high-level cultivators are filled with good things. Although Gu Fan's jade bracelet is full of them, they are actually all inferior items. The largest area is occupied by five small hills made of low-grade spirit stones of the five elements. That is the wealth she has accumulated by completing sect tasks and refining pills, which is equivalent to the merit points circulating in the base.
There is a row of boxes next to the spiritual stone hill, each box is used to hold a type of elixir. Some boxes are full, while others are only shallowly filled. The full boxes are filled with Hair Growth Pills, the lowest-level elixir that Gu Fan used to practice his alchemy skills when he first started learning, while the shallow ones are filled with valuable things like Beast Repellent Pills and Flesh Regeneration and Blood Nourishing Pills.
What's left are some monster corpses, medicinal herbs and other materials needed for alchemy, as well as some daily necessities.
After all, Gu Fan was a country girl from a farming family. Driven by vanity, she secretly collected a set of daily necessities commonly used by ladies from wealthy families, from exquisite and precious step-out beds to the finest silks, satins, rouge and powder. At that time, Gu Fan thought that if she couldn't make it in the world of cultivation, she could still go to the common people to enjoy life.
She checked the inventory one by one and reviewed the past hundred years in her mind.
Finally, Gu Fan took out a pitch-black ring.
The sect encountered a great disaster. The mountain gate collapsed due to the sword of a powerful man, and many monks died. Among them was an unlucky guy who fell from the sky and landed next to the herb field where Gu Fan was picking herbs.
Gu Fan was an outer sect disciple and had heard of many common masters in the outer sect. She did not recognize the deceased and thought he was an inner sect disciple.
The unlucky guy couldn't die any more. Gu Fan knew that he could no longer stay in this sect. He made up his mind, took off the ring on the man's hand, collected the flying magic weapon that the man had dropped aside, and then fled down the mountain with a group of low-level disciples.
This was the most ambitious time in Gu Fan's cultivation career. After the surroundings were safe, Gu Fan quietly checked the ring. Unfortunately, although the owner of the ring was dead, he left a spiritual barrier on the ring, which could only be opened by someone with a higher cultivation level than the other party.
Being able to use a flying magic weapon means that the other party is at least a disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and should not be higher than the Golden Core Stage. A cultivator in the Golden Core Stage would not be unable to escape the aftermath of a battle between powerful people.
Gu Fan held the ring, his heart growing warmer.
She has now reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage. If she continues to work hard, perhaps she will be able to establish her foundation one day?
After she has established her foundation and obtained the good things in the ring, she may be able to fight against the strong men in the base if she encounters them.
The most urgent task is to practice diligently.
Gu Fan did not waste any night, but refining pills is also a way of cultivation. The effect of cultivation is best when the spiritual power is overdrawn. Gu Fan did not dare to take the risk of fighting with others. Fortunately, she still knows how to refine pills.
The five elements are mutually generated and restrained. Through the method of conversion, the four spiritual powers of gold, wood, water and earth in Gu Fan's body can be transformed into fire spiritual power.
God is fair. A cultivator with five spiritual roots cultivates very slowly, and may even find it difficult to build a foundation in his entire life. But once the foundation is built, through this method of conversion, a cultivator with five spiritual roots can rely on the abundant spiritual power in his body to sweep other cultivators of the same level with strength!
