Chapter 34
After Lu Ya left in the morning, Gu Fan went to cast spiritual rain on several medicinal fields as usual, and then he started to refine the elixir.
For Gu Fan, alchemy is also a form of cultivation. As long as it can improve his cultivation, he will not get bored.
Gu Fan never slacked off when he thought he had no hope of building his foundation. Now that he is only one step away from building his foundation, Gu Fan will not be lazy either.
After spending most of the day in the alchemy room, Gu Fan closed the furnace at around four o'clock and began to prepare for tonight's social events.
Girlfriends in TV dramas will carefully choose an outfit when visiting their boyfriend's home. Gu Fan opened her own wardrobe and found that apart from a few casual outfits, the rest were all skirts.
Gu Fan likes skirts. The sect uniform she wore before coming to Earth was a long skirt. She had been wearing it for almost a hundred years. It is not easy to change a habit. When Qing Teng accompanied her to buy clothes when she first came to the base, she chose almost all ankle-length skirts.
After changing into a skirt, Gu Fan sat on the bed, thinking about what gift to give to Mr. Lu, after all, he was the most powerful old marshal in the base.
Gu Fan looked through her stock of pills.
Gu Fan's jade bracelet contains a large number of elixirs, some of which are suitable for cultivators, while others are more effective for ordinary people. Among the latter, Gu Fan only picked out seven kinds of elixirs that can be cultivated with the existing medicinal herbs in the medicine field and sold them. In fact, there are several other elixirs.
What does a 78-year-old man need most?
Gu Fan took out a bottle of aphrodisiac pills and a bottle of longevity pills.
Mr. Lu likes to have children, and an aphrodisiac pill can keep him vigorous and energetic for a year, with remarkable effects. From the perspective of surprise, Mr. Lu should be more satisfied with this gift. However, it seems not very solemn for a female junior to give it to him.
The longevity pill can help the elderly to strengthen their bodies and reduce illness. Ordinary people can increase their lifespan by ten years by taking it. The physical fitness of the psychics is already high enough, so the effect may not be very obvious, especially since Mr. Lu is an S-level psychic. If she really gave this to him and Mr. Lu didn't feel anything after taking it, it would seem that she was not sincere.
Before Gu Fan could make up her mind, Lu Ya came to pick her up.
Gu Fan went to the first floor to wait for him.
When Lu Ya entered the hall, he saw her sitting on the sofa, a long black silk dress clung to her body, outlining her perfect figure. The style of the dress was not uncommon, but she tied a matching sash around her waist, making her look very elegant and refined, and she had a heroic air of a knight.
Lu Ya saw her first, and then noticed the two familiar porcelain vases on the coffee table in front of her.
The pills she sold were all placed in this kind of porcelain bottles.
"This is the gift I prepared for the old man. Which one do you think is best for him?"
Then, she introduced the effects of the two kinds of pills to Lu Ya.
Lu Ya: "Longevity pill."
Gu Fan pondered and said, "This one was made by my grandfather. It's valuable, but I don't dare to sell it. But it may be of no use to the old man."
Lu Ya: "I don't want to have any more uncles and aunts younger than my nephew."
Gu Fan: ...
She immediately put the aphrodisiac away.
Out of curiosity, Lu Ya asked her, "You can make aphrodisiac pills? Why don't you sell them? If this kind of pill were on the market, it would sell better than hair growth pills."
He is not interested in women, but Lu Ya knows what the men in the base like. It has always been like this since ancient times.
Gu Fan sighed, "It's not that I don't want to make it, but the aphrodisiac pill requires a herb called the Dragon Locking Needle. The Dragon Locking Needle only grows in hot and arid areas like deserts, and it's impossible to find it in the Jiangnan area."
Lu Ya: "Dragon Locking Needle?"
Gu Fan took out a tablet and found a picture of the Dragon Locking Needle to show him.
Lu Ya had limited knowledge of the newly emerged mutant plants since the end of the world. The pictures on the tablet were taken and collected by scientific researchers from the Northwest Base. They looked very much like cacti, but cacti grow upright. This kind of dragon-locking needle was long and thin, winding on the sand. The vines had long golden thorns up to ten centimeters long, so it was named the dragon-locking needle, which was very descriptive.
"Okay, let's go." Gu Fan put away the tablet and was still looking forward to tonight's trip to the Lu family. Lu Ya's cooking skills were so good. As the top family in the base, the chefs they hired must be better than any five-star restaurant outside.
"etc."
Lu Ya glanced at her white earlobe and took out a purple jewelry box from the space.
"This is my grandmother's old thing. If you wear it, the old man will know that I am serious about you and not just looking for a random woman to fool him."
Gu Fan admired his meticulousness. He took the jewelry box, opened it, and revealed a pair of crystal clear white pearl earrings with a generous and elegant style.
Gu Fan couldn't help but say, "The old lady has great taste."
Lu Ya took out another photo frame, which was a photo of his grandmother and his father. It was taken before the radiation incident. His father had just turned one year old and his grandmother was only twenty-six years old.
Gu Fan was stunned by the old lady's beauty when she was young.
"When my grandmother married my grandfather, she was a top dance artist in the country. If it weren't for the apocalypse, she wouldn't be trapped in my grandfather's villa."
Gu Fan understood that no matter where they were, a beautiful woman who had no ability to protect herself would become a man's vassal.
She touched the pearl earrings she had already put on and said, "The old man has married so many concubines, how can he still recognize the old lady's old things?"
Lu Ya said in a cold voice, "There's always been a wedding photo of the two of them hanging in his room, and that's what my grandmother is wearing in the photo."
Gu Fan smiled. Lu Ya’s grandson wasn’t that filial after all.
The two got in the car.
Lu Ya was driving and Gu Fan was sitting in the passenger seat. It was late September and the mountain breeze blowing towards them was a little cold.
Lu Ya glanced at Gu Fan's exposed arms and asked her if she wanted to put on a coat.
Gu Fan: "I am a person with special abilities after all, so I am not that afraid of the cold."
Lu Ya didn't say anything, took out a suit jacket from the space and placed it between the two of them.
Gu Fan paused and put it on.
The Lu family lived in the heart of the inner ring road. At six o'clock, Lu Ya's car drove into the gathering place of the large family.
There were young members of the Lu family walking on the road. When they saw Lu Ya and Gu Fan sitting in the passenger seat, they stretched their necks in shock to look.
Lu Ya turned a blind eye and only stopped when he met a female elder who stopped to observe.
"aunt."
This person is Lu Ya's aunt, Lu Ying. She was born after the base was established. She is 47 years old this year. She is an A-level strongman in both the gold and water elements and is still unmarried.
Lu Ying looked at Gu Fan, his gaze resting on Gu Fan's earlobe.
Lu Ya explained: "My girlfriend, Gu Fan, the old man wants to meet her."
Lu Ying, like Lu Ya, had a naturally cold expression and said unhappily, "Why didn't the old man tell me that you brought your girlfriend home for the first time?"
Lu Ya: "I thought he would invite you."
Lu Ying snorted and walked to the back row.
As soon as Lu Ya unlocked the car, Lu Ying got in.
Based on Lu Ying's appearance, Gu Fan guessed that she was the old lady's biological daughter, and therefore Lu Ya's aunt.
Even in this kind of relationship, you have to give gifts.
Gu Fan was thinking about what kind of low-key elixir in the jade bracelet was suitable for Lu Ying, when Lu Ying suddenly asked Gu Fan: "Do you have a space crystal core?"
Gu busy said: "Yes, Lu Ya gave me one."
Lu Ying nodded, and suddenly a half-meter-long submachine gun appeared in his hand. He handed it to Gu Fan and said, "This is the latest A-class shooting gun developed by the army. It has ten rounds of ammunition. I'll give it to you as a gift."
Gu Fan was so shocked that he forgot to react.
Weapons that can break through the defense of A-level monsters are all A-level weapons. If mercenaries or ordinary people want to buy them, the price is more than one million merit points. Lu Ying gave her such a gift casually. Isn't he treating her as an outsider?
"My aunt is in charge of the weapons research and development of the Lu family army. You don't have to be polite to her." Lu Ya said while driving.
The gun must have been quite heavy, so Gu Fan couldn't let Lu Ying hold it all the time. He quickly took it and said to Lu Ying excitedly, "Aunt, I'm a retail investor with no real skills. I only learned a little alchemy from Grandpa. If you need any elixirs, please tell me. I'll give you anything I can make."
Lu Ying asked in surprise: "Alchemy?"
Gu Fan nodded modestly and introduced the seven types she was currently selling.
Lu Ying was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm not interested in these things. Do you know how to make medicine that can heal the wounded or kill monsters?"
Gu Fan: ...
As expected of aunt and niece, they have the same expectations for her.
She looked ashamed: "Refine high-level elixirs have certain requirements for the level of supernatural powers. My grandfather can do it, but I can't, and I don't know the recipe."
Lu Ying didn't seem to have much hope for her. He nodded and said nothing more.
As he spoke, Lu Ya parked the car at the very center of this Western-style building area.
The three of them got out of the car together.
Lu Ying walked in front, Lu Ya walked around to Gu Fan and bent his left arm towards Gu Fan.
Gu Fan looked at him blankly.
Lu Ya pulled her right hand into his arm with a normal expression.
Gu Fan suddenly remembered some scenes from the TV series and understood.
Thinking about the expensive gift Lu Ying gave her, wasn't it just acting? Gu Fan smiled and approached Lu Ya intimately.
In the hall, three juniors, Lu Yao, Lu Lan, and Lu Jingtian, were watching TV with Lu Sheng.
Hearing footsteps, Lu Sheng turned around and saw his daughter Lu Ying. He smiled in surprise: "Xiaoying is here?"
Lu Ying still had a cold face: "Lu Ya brought his girlfriend home for the first time, why didn't you call me?"
Lu Sheng had already noticed Gu Fan, who was holding his grandson's arm. She looked like the type of woman who wasn't of high status and relied solely on her beauty to attract her grandson. Lu Sheng had already suspected this, so he didn't approve of the relationship at all. He didn't take tonight's dinner seriously, and naturally wouldn't make a big deal about calling his daughter over.
"There are too many things to do, I forgot." Lu Sheng stood up with a kind smile.
Lu Ya brought Gu Fan forward and introduced him to the old man.
Gu Fan took out her gift with a bright smile. As for its efficacy, it only said that it could strengthen the body, but did not mention increasing lifespan.
Lu Sheng smiled and said some polite words. As for whether Gu Fan had such a powerful grandfather, he still had doubts in his heart.
Dinner was ready and everyone went to sit down in the restaurant.
It was not until this time that Lu Sheng discovered the specialness of Gu Fan's pair of pearl earrings.
He looked at Lu Ya in disbelief.
Lu Ya is introducing the method of making white wine to Gu Fan.
Eight-year-old Lu Jingtian: "Sister Gu, don't you know about white wine?"
Gu Fan explained frankly, "I've always lived outside the base, never been to school, and never had television to watch. I only learned a lot of things after coming to the base."
Lu Jingtian exclaimed, "There are monsters everywhere outside. Sister Gu must be very powerful to have been able to hold out there for so long, right?"
Gu Fan: ...
If the fat boy's eyes were not clear, she would have suspected that he was mocking her.
Lu Ya suddenly corrected his nephew: "You should call her aunt."
Lu Jingtian: "But she looks more like a sister."
Lu Yao: "I'm more like a sister. Don't you also call me little aunt?"
Lu Jingtian blinked and finally changed his tone towards Gu Fan: "Auntie."
Gu Fan was very happy in his heart, what's the point of calling me little auntie, you should call me old aunt!
