Chapter 5



At two o'clock in the morning, Fenghuo could no longer hold on and fell on the sofa.

Looking at his handsome face hidden under his messy short hair, Gu Fan finally yawned.

In fact, she had heard enough, but this handsome Earth boy treated her so warmly that Gu Fan couldn't dampen his enthusiasm.

After turning off the lights, Gu Fan walked lightly back to his room on the third floor.

After locking the door, Gu Fan tried the hardness of the mattress, but it was too soft, so she sat on the floor and began to practice.

Practitioners do not need to sleep, and the effect of meditating for a night is better than sleeping.

As a cultivator, Gu Fan's spiritual roots were too poor, and no matter how hard she tried, she could never achieve a foundation. Therefore, she held a very calm attitude towards cultivation, diligent but not desperate. During her hundred years in the sect, Gu Fan spent the rest of her time cultivating, aside from alchemy and trading. While other cultivators would venture out to gain experience and improve their cultivation speed through repeated adventures in order to break through bottlenecks, Gu Fan was timid. After nearly losing her life on a previous adventure, she never set foot outside the sect again.

Unfortunately, the sect was gone and she traveled to Earth.

Fortunately, the concentration of spiritual energy on Earth is similar to that on the cultivation continent, so she can continue to practice, refine pills, and make money.

At six o'clock in the morning, a slight sound of the door being pushed open brought Gu Fan out of his practice.

Bright morning light shone through the curtains. Gu Fan stretched his muscles feeling refreshed, then went to the bathroom to wash up, imitating the habits of the earthlings in TV dramas.

Living with the earthlings, she should abide by their customs to avoid revealing flaws in the details.

When Gu Fan went downstairs, he found five people in the hall. One of them was still sleeping soundly on the sofa, and the other four were sitting around the dining table, discussing something in low voices.

Seeing Gu Fan, Meng Lianying smiled and waved to her, and moved a chair for her.

Gu Fan sat down.

I know Meng Lianying, Fenghuo and Xinghe, and the remaining two are called Taishan and Qingteng.

Taishan is an A-level earth-type and rare space-type mutant. He is tall and strong, with a square face, calm and resolute, and looks very reliable. If Gu Fan wants to go out, she will definitely follow Taishan closely.

Qing Teng is Xinghe's adopted sister, an A-level wood-type mutant, about seventeen or eighteen years old, very beautiful, but with an extremely cold personality. She just nodded slightly to Gu Fan as a greeting.

"Don't underestimate Qing Teng's young age. She's the most proficient among the five of us in using her powers. As long as a person is still breathing, she can heal any wound. As for attack, Qing Teng can transform any plant into a poisonous vine. She can attack or defend, and her combat power is incredibly strong."

Gu Fan showed an envious expression. These five people would be talented talents in the cultivation continent.

"My name is Gu Fan, a C-rank user with both wood and fire abilities. My attack power is weak, so I can only defend myself against a small number of C-rank monsters. My only specialty is that I can refine some elixirs that can improve physical defects, such as hair growth pills."

As a newcomer, Gu Fan briefly introduced herself and also hinted to the mercenary team not to expect her to leave the base with them to carry out dangerous missions.

Taishan: "How do you make the elixir?"

Gu Fan: "I have an alchemy furnace, but it's too heavy for me to bring here, so I hid it somewhere nearby. I plan to bring it back after I've settled down at the base. Something that heavy won't move even if someone sees it."

Meng Lianying: "Is it close to the base? Then I'll go with you to get it."

"I'm going too!" Fenghuo woke up at some point, and when he heard that they were going to leave the base, he raised his hand and shouted.

Meng Lianying: "You woke up just in time. Let's go cook dinner. Taishan's stomach is rumbling several times."

Fenghuo rubbed his head with both hands: "You are exploiting me! I am the dignified God of Fire. I have spread the word that the four major families are vying to recruit me, and you are actually using me as a cook!"

Meng Lianying: "You want to go to the Four Great Families? How about the Lu family? I'll introduce you to my cousin. He definitely won't treat you as a cook."

My cousin would treat the beacon fire as a gun and set it up at the front line every day and not be allowed to come back.

Fenghuo certainly knew who Meng Lianying's cousin was. Thinking of Lu Ya's cold face, Fenghuo came to his senses completely and went to the kitchen wearing a wrinkled suit.

Gu Fan looked at the other four people's black hair and asked Meng Lianying curiously, "Why is Fenghuo's hair red?"

Xinghe smiled: "It's dyed at the barber shop. The barber shop can dye your hair into any color as long as you want."

Gu Fan: ...

It was Earth technology again. She thought Fenghuo had gone astray while practicing his supernatural powers and his hair color had changed.

"Do you want to change your clothes?" Qing Teng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked.

Gu Fan looked at the bulky men's clothing on his body and wished for it.

Qing Teng took her to the third floor.

When she stood up, Gu Fan realized that the girl was extremely tall, slightly taller than herself, a hundred-year-old female cultivator.

The aptitude for cultivation will also affect physical fitness. Someone like Qing Teng would definitely be considered an inner disciple in the cultivation continent.

"All my clothes are here, you can choose for yourself."

Opening the wardrobe, Qing Teng said generously.

Gu Fan glanced at the row of clothes. Apart from black sportswear, there were dark gray armor. There was no need to choose.

Gu Fan took out a set of sportswear and said to Qing Teng, "I'll return this to you when I buy new clothes."

Qing Teng hummed indifferently.

Gu Fan went back to his room to change clothes.

She is about the same height as Qing Teng, but their figures are very different. Qing Teng is very thin, so thin that her female features are almost invisible. Gu Fan has taken the marrow cleansing pill, and every aspect of her body has reached the perfect state she should have. She has fair skin, beautiful looks, a slim waist, long legs, and her breasts make this casual sportswear look sexy and enchanting.

When she walked out, Qing Teng's gaze lingered on her chest for a long time.

Gu Fan wanted to laugh. Was the little girl envious of her?

"I can make breast enhancement pills. Do you want one? I'll give you one for free." Gu Fan walked over and asked in a low voice.

Qing Teng blushed, as if he hadn't expected her to say such a thing. Then he frowned and snorted, "I don't need it."

After saying that, Qing Teng went downstairs with a stomping sound.

Gu Fan followed.

During the meal, except for Xinghe and Taishan, Menglianying, Fenghuo and Qingteng seemed to dare not look directly at Gu Fan, and no one knew what they were feeling guilty about.

Gu Fan looked calm. In her eyes, no matter how strong these five people were, they were just simple little kids with innocent hearts.

After dinner, Qingteng stayed in the villa, Xinghe and Taishan went to purchase things, and Meng Lianying and Fenghuo accompanied Gu Fan to move the alchemy furnace.

There were six cars of different styles parked in the garage. Gu Fan asked Meng Lianying, "How many points do you need for these cars?"

Fenghuo rushed to introduce: "Supplies are in short supply, and technology is advancing rapidly under pressure. Now everyone in the base drives pure solar-powered electric cars. We have enough merit points, so we can buy cars worth tens of thousands of yuan. If you just want to get around, a better one costs 5,000 to 6,000 points, and a lesser one costs 2,000 to 3,000."

Gu Fan pointed to the only off-road vehicle.

Meng Lianying: "This is the most advanced six-seater combat vehicle available on the market. It has both electric and fuel-powered vehicles. The vehicle body is bulletproof and resistant to ordinary supernatural attacks. The price is one million merit points."

Fenghuo: "It's expensive for a reason. A person with superpowers would be like a tiger with wings if he owned one. For an ordinary person, if they buy one, it would be like a life saver if something unexpected happened at the base."

Gu Fan could only admire him.

Many things that people on Earth have can be used as magic weapons.

Since they were going to leave the base, the three of them got on the off-road vehicle. Meng Lianying drove, Fenghuo sat in the passenger seat, and Gu Fan sat in the back. This was the fairest way.

Leaving the main urban area, the road leading to the base entrance is wide and sparsely populated. Meng Lianying's car is driving at a very fast speed. Gu Fan looks at the scenery on both sides that is rapidly receding, and he actually has the illusion of flying on a sword.

Of course, she couldn't fly a sword, and had only ridden the Shunfeng Sword of a certain senior sister.

There is a paper crane driven by spiritual power in the storage jade bracelet, but it is too slow and cannot be used in the base. It is also useless outside the base because it will be caught up in an instant if it encounters a flying monster.

Mercenaries can enter and exit the base freely and are allowed in after a simple identity check.

Gu Fan pointed to a place at random.

When they arrived at an abandoned park, Gu Fan first ran behind a broken wall and quickly took out her alchemy furnace.

When Meng Lianying and Fenghuo came over, they saw a pitch-black alchemy furnace placed steadily on the grass. It was about one meter high and had a three-layer body. The top two layers were long and thin gourd-shaped, and the bottom layer was a big belly. There were four flying dragons carved around it, with their tails hanging down to the ground, supporting the furnace body.

"Wow, was it made by your grandfather?" Fenghuo curiously walked around the alchemy furnace and knocked on it, trying to determine the material of the furnace.

Gu Fan skillfully fooled them: "Maybe, as far as I can remember, there have been several alchemy furnaces at home. After I learned alchemy, I chose this one to use."

Fenghuo lifted the lid of the furnace, revealing another world inside, which was complicated and intricate.

After learning about the structure of the alchemy furnace, Fenghuo was eager to try it out and urged Gu Fan: "Why don't you show us your skills first? I'm so curious about alchemy. Among the gods in Journey to the West, I like Taishang Laojun the most."

Gu Fan: "Taishang Laojun?"

Fenghuo blinked: "A fairy tale drama, I'll find it for you when I get back. You can make the elixir first."

Gu Fan explained: "Alchemy requires medicinal herbs, here..."

She looked around and did not find any usable herbs. However, in the first half of the month, when Gu Fan was wandering in a farther place, she found several herbs that also existed in the cultivation continent, so she was full of confidence in doing her old business on Earth.

"If there are no medicinal herbs, why not just pick some wild grasses and try?" Meng Lianying was also curious. "Anyway, we're just going to see the process; the result isn't important."

Gu Fan smiled and decided to satisfy them.

She pulled out a few weeds and put them into the alchemy furnace, and asked the two to be alert to their surroundings. She sat cross-legged on the ground, and her fire spiritual power circulated. A cluster of golden-red flames suddenly appeared under the alchemy furnace.

Gu Fan can control the temperature of the flame at will, and the flame also appears in different colors.

Five minutes later, a cloud of black smoke suddenly came out from the stove top.

Gu Fan put away the flame and said helplessly: "The medicinal properties cannot be integrated, so the pill cannot be formed."

Fenghuo opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, and there was only a black paste inside.

After enjoying the sight, Fenghuo touched his chin and asked Gu Fan: "I can also set fires, so can I also make pills?"

Gu Fan said, "Do you know herbs? Do you know the medicinal properties of various herbs? Do you know what temperature each herb requires?"

war:……

He didn't know and didn't want to memorize these things. Ancient poems were fine, but it was a headache for him to memorize the complicated properties of medicinal herbs!

Seeing that he gave up the idea, Gu Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fenghuo didn't want to learn, and she didn't want to teach either. Teaching the apprentice would be like starving the master to death. How could she not understand this principle?

The author has something to say:

Lu Ya: I think all of you talented people can play a better role.

Gu Fan +5: That’s not necessary!
