On August 25, Qin Ran got off work on time, which was rare, because he had to prepare for the assessment interview five days later. He worked until five o'clock before getting up to pack up the documents.
He took a stack of papers, walked to Yan Yi's desk, handed the papers to Yan Yi, and said:
"These are the alchemy test questions I compiled based on basic alchemy knowledge, as well as some basic arithmetic test questions. I plan to use them as the first screening for recruiting deacon disciples. Take the time to read and practice them to see if the questions are too difficult or too easy. Write them down truthfully, and I'll revise them tomorrow."
"Yes." Yan Yi took it respectfully.
Ever since the terrifying experience at Danfeng that day, his respect and fear for Qin Ran had risen by seventy to eighty or ninety levels.
He looked at the paper, which was filled with questions such as multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions. A specific score was marked after each question, giving him a sense of incomprehensibility.
Seeing Qin Ran leisurely going out again, he quickly raised his hand and stood up, wanting to remind Qin Ran to be more careful, because he felt that Ke Yue might take action in the next few days, but when he was about to speak, he realized that Qin Ran probably didn't need to be reminded.
Ke Yue was the one who needed it. He suddenly felt sorry for the cute girl sitting across from him. He should have reminded her to be more careful.
At this moment, Qin Ran remembered something. He stopped at the door and turned around to say to him, "Oh, there is something else. Pack your things and come with me."
Yan Yi didn’t know what was going on, but he obediently packed up his things and followed Qin Ran out of the pharmacy.
But strangely, after leaving the pharmacy, Qin Ran did not say anything and just walked ahead.
The two walked out of the Deacon Hall, one in front and one behind, along the stone road, down the main peak, and headed towards Danfeng.
At this point, Yan Yi couldn't help himself and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"
"Wait." As soon as he said this, Qin Ran suddenly stopped, because Qin Ran found that someone was watching them in the forest beside the road.
"Who is it?" Qin Ran asked with an unfriendly look.
Yan Yi was startled. He followed Qin Ran’s gaze and couldn’t help but feel that the man in the forest looked familiar. After taking a closer look, he asked in surprise, “Elder Jian?!”
"Jian Yuanjie?" Qin Ran's eyes narrowed and he looked carefully. The man was indeed somewhat similar to Jian Yuanjie.
But when he wanted to take a closer look, the man suddenly turned around and ran deeper into the forest.
"Stop!" Qin Ran's face changed slightly, and he quickly used his skills to chase after him.
"Hey! Master Qin, be careful!" Yan Yi thought that this might be Ke Yue's plan, and hurriedly reminded Qin Ran.
But Qin Ran and "Jian Yuanjie" were too fast and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.
Yan Yi was a little anxious. These few days were the time when Ke Yue and his people would take action. How could Master Qin be so reckless?
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he wanted to chase after it, but suddenly he realized that not only could he not catch up, even if he did, it would only be a dish.
"Senior Sister Li!" He thought of Li Shiyin and quickly used his skills to run to the top of Danfeng Mountain.
He quickly came out of the mist of Danfeng Mountain, and before he could catch his breath, he shouted inside: "Help! Senior Sister Li! Help!"
The mist dispersed to form a passage, and he ran in. Seeing Li Shiyin flying over from a distance, he hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Li, Master Qin, Master Qin is in danger, go and save him!"
"Master is in danger?" Li Shiyin frowned. She looked towards the old locust tree in confusion. "Master is there! How could he be in danger?"
Yan Yi followed her gaze and saw Qin Ran on the swing under the old locust tree. Qin Ran was sitting on the swing reading a book, and the big Xuanming Spirit Tiger used its tail to help him gently push the swing.
"Why is Master Qin here?" Yan Yi was stunned.
"Master hasn't gone out today, why isn't he here?" Li Shiyin asked curiously.
"Ah?" Yan Yi was suddenly speechless.
Qin Ran chased after "Jian Yuanjie" all the way, went straight out of Daojian Gate, and headed southeast.
It was unknown whether it was intentional on the part of "Jian Yuanjie" or Qin Ran. In short, Qin Ran could never catch up with "Jian Yuanjie". No matter how fast or slow he was, he was always more than ten meters away from "Jian Yuanjie".
And it doesn’t take long to travel ten miles.
The "Jian Yuanjie" in front suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Qin Ran who was panting, and asked coldly: "You don't know that I'm still alive!"
Qin Ran held his breath and stood in awe: "You are not dead!"
"You are not dead, how could I die?" said "Jian Yuanjie".
"Haha! It turned out that you killed Elder Jian!" Ke Yue's voice suddenly came from the side. Qin Ran looked over and saw her cute face twisted. "You deserve to die. How dare you lay a hand on Elder Jian."
"You..." Qin Ran couldn't believe it and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"Humph!" The "Jian Yuanjie" changed his body shape and turned into a strong man with a beard. "Alchemist, how do you know my magical transformation technique!?"
“You…you…” Qin Ran pointed at the bearded man and asked, “Who are you?!”
“Youya!” The bearded man took out a sword, held it in his hand, and glared at you, “Kill your people!!”
As he spoke, the area around Qin Ran suddenly became dark, and the figures of Ke Yue and You Ya disappeared.
"Formation!!!" Qin Ran's face changed drastically, "You have already made a plan?"
"Go to hell! Qin Ran..." Ke Yue's voice came from the darkness.
Then, there was killing and blood...
Qin Ran survived a near-death experience and finally managed to break out of the formation. He was covered in wounds and was clearly dying.
At this time, more than a dozen people holding magical weapons surrounded them, including Ke Yue, Ishihara and Yuya.
"We are about to kill a Jindan cultivator!" Ke Yue laughed.
Looking at the dozen people around him, Qin Ran sat down helplessly in the air. He asked, "Are they all here?"
"Of course, we are united in our determination to get rid of you!" Ke Yue smiled, "We will carry your head to Zhishen Valley. This great achievement will ensure that we will never lack elixirs for cultivation again."
“Since everyone is here, let’s get started!” Qin Ran said weakly, “It would save me from having to kill them one by one. It would be too troublesome.”
"Do it?" Ke Yue sneered, "Do you still have the ability?"
"Ishihara!" she yelled.
So Ishihara stepped forward, holding the rune sword in one hand and the Immortal-Slaying Pill in the other. He looked at Qin Ran, then stuffed the Immortal-Slaying Pill into his mouth!
"?" Qin Ran opened his eyes wide and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?!"
"You... are seriously injured. You deserve to die!" Ishihara's blood and magic power began to boil. His veins were throbbing. "Ah! Ah!! Do you think I will really betray Ke Yue? Ahhhh... I'm going to kill you!!"
The rune sword in his hand began to charge and turned into a huge sword...
Seeing Ishihara's rampage, Kieran was really confused at first, but soon he came to his senses:
This guy, who had only seen his original form and Yuya, probably thought he was the original form? He probably saw the original form injured and thought this was his chance...
In reality, he is just a villain who jumps back and forth.
Kieran shook his head and said, "I'm not asking you to take action, I'm saying... Yuya! It's your turn!!"
Then, under Ke Yue's incredulous gaze, You Shi transformed into Qin Ran, raised his sword, and performed "Flying Immortal Asking the Way". Without much effort, he killed all these foundation-building disciples... including Ke Yue.
If he didn't want to kill them all, he really wouldn't have to act like this...
As for Ishihara?
Why should I fight against a person who is destined to die after taking the Immortal-Slaying Pill?
The clone You Shi took the clone Qin Ran and left the place using the Flying Fairy Question, leaving Ishihara alone here to act crazy.
…Kiran No. 3 luckily survived. Congratulations!
