Chapter 428 To Run or Not to Run, That Is the Question (Part 2)



"What do you mean?" Tu Shan looked at Qin Ran leisurely, "Are you going to chase me away?"

Qin Ran stood in front of the table and looked out through the window behind it. There were green lotus leaves and fresh lotus flowers on the surface of Xijian Lake, and Li Shiyin was still practicing sword on the surface of the lake; there were tender green branches and leaves and white locust flowers on the old locust tree outside the cabin, and Zhuifeng was still looking for locust flowers under the old locust tree.

"There's going to be a war." Qin Ran said softly, "The Hengduan Mountains, the entire Immortal Land, and the world are going to be in chaos soon. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave."

"What happened?" Tu Shan looked out the window and saw that the entire Danfeng was peaceful and quiet, and it didn't look like a sign of war.

"The Hengduan Mountains have actually never been peaceful. Perhaps Zhisheng Valley was used to being praised by others, and really thought that it was the strongest sect, and didn't want to share the world with Wuyin Sword Sect and Daojian Sect. It has been jumping up and down to make trouble." Qin Ran explained, "After Danfeng was completely destroyed by Zhisheng Valley, Zhisheng Valley is undoubtedly the strongest in the entire Immortal Relics in terms of alchemy. So they wanted to rely on elixirs to invisibly and quietly weaken the strength of Daojian Sect and Wuyin Sword Sect bit by bit. But I destroyed it.

"So they changed their strategy and joined forces with the Wuyin Sword Sect to exclude Daojian Sect. They also targeted the next generation of Daojian Sect disciples to weaken their strength. But I discovered it.

"The current situation is that I deliberately intensified the conflict...so the war is about to start. The earliest is tomorrow, and the latest is the end of the month."

“So…” Tu Shan slowly turned his gaze back to Qin Ran, “If I understand correctly, you were the one who started the fight?”

“Hmm?” Qin Ran smiled, still looking at the Sword Washing Lake, “That’s correct.”

"You started the fight, so just go and fight!" Tu Shan asked leisurely, "Why do you want to chase me away? I occupy a very important position in Danfeng."

"Because I'm scared..." Qin Ran suddenly sighed, "If the three sects fight, it will bring disaster to the entire Hengduan Mountains, and even the mortal kingdoms outside the Hengduan Mountains. I don't understand the situation, and I don't know who will win in the end.

"I was panicking and I wanted to run away."

“No?” Tu Shanyouyou laughed angrily. She suddenly remembered the first time she met Qin Ran. Qin Ran was obviously bewitched by her, but because he was timid, he didn’t dare to leave the tree hole. Sure enough, you are still a coward, you haven’t changed at all. “You made such a big mess, and you are going to pat your butt and leave it alone?”

“So I feel guilty now.” Qin Ran said, “I don’t know what the mental state of those strategists who stirred up the world’s situation during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was like. But I feel very uncomfortable now. I always feel like there will be resentful ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night.”

Tu Shan looked at him leisurely, disdain in his eyes, and asked, "Aren't you scarier than a vengeful ghost?

"If a resentful ghost sees you, he will help you close the door."

"Haha..." Qin Ran laughed a few times after hearing that, then stood up and walked outside, saying, "Okay, I just came here to tell you today, if you want to leave, leave early."

Tu Shan twisted his waist slowly, followed him out with his eyes, and asked, "Didn't you come to me today to discuss **?"

"Be careful with your words. You may not be able to beat Shiyin right now." Qin Ran walked out of the room and looked back at Tushan Youyou. "That girl is protecting her food. She might chop you down at any time. It doesn't matter if you die, but don't implicate me. I value my life very much."

After he finished speaking, he closed the door and went out.

Tu Shan looked at the door that Qin Ran had closed. Her eyes, which were enough to fascinate everyone in the world, stared blankly for a long time before she murmured to herself, "How many scholars in the world are like you?"

Make her feel scared, make her respect you unconsciously, make her feel controlled, make her feel submissive, make her obsessed and not want to leave.

Danfeng is good...but the good one always belongs to one person.

She turned around and looked out the window. She saw the Sword Washing Lake, the woman dancing with a sword on the lake, the peach blossom forest beside the lake, and the woman in the peach blossom forest...

There is no such woman in the peach blossom forest. The peach blossom forest is not called the Long-lasting Peach Blossom Forest.

"I want to plant peach blossoms all over the mountain." So someone in the boudoir sighed like this.

Qin Ran left the cave, jumped back to the waterfall, and walked along the stream in the mist to the bridge over the stream.

He stood at the bridge and looked back at Zhuifeng under the old locust tree. He found that the silly boy was lying on the old locust tree, quietly turning his head and staring at him to see if he had done anything to let Shiyin down.

Feeling unhappy, he lifted his foot, took off the other sock and threw it to Zhuifeng.

After walking across the small wooden bridge and reaching the research building, Qin Ran stood downstairs and looked up at this modern building, every brick and tile of which was made and built by him personally... This was one of his few modern memories.

He walked into the building and found Long Qiqi in the alchemy room on the first floor.

The scheming little Loli was leaning on an alchemy furnace that was much taller than her and looking at the recipe for an elixir.

"What recipe are you looking at?" He walked in and asked Long Qiqi.

Long Qiqi glanced at him, continued to look at his own pill recipe, and replied: "Illusion Pill."

“Illusion-Destroying Pill?” Qin Ran walked over to Long Qiqi, took the pill recipe, glanced at it, pointed out Long Qiqi’s mistake, and said, “The order of Lingbaiqi and Xuejianhua is reversed.”

He asked curiously, "Why did you start learning the Illusion Pill?"

Long Qiqi took out his small notebook from his Qiankun bag, turned around and pressed it on the alchemy furnace to correct the steps of alchemy, and said: "Prepare for the formation of the elixir in advance. The earlier you prepare, the higher the chance of forming the elixir."

Qin Ran suppressed his laughter and looked up and down at the chubby and sinister little loli, saying, "You are only in the early stage of foundation building now, and there is still a long way to go before the middle stage of foundation building. Isn't it a little too early for you to prepare so early?"

"It's still too early for me to form a pill..." Long Qiqi said halfway and suddenly stopped talking.

But Qin Ran understood. It was still too early for her to form a pill, but it was not certain for Zhang Junyi. Zhang Junyi had a top-grade spiritual root, and if he was fast, he could form a pill within ten years.

"But Zhang Junyi doesn't need the Illusion Pill, right?" he questioned.

Long Qiqi was anxious. She turned around and glared at Qin Ran, saying, "What does it have to do with me whether he needs to get the Illusionary Pill or not? I prepared it for myself!"

“Oh, right, right…” Kieran nodded teasingly.

"Believe it or not!" Long Qiqi turned back angrily, but inexplicably stopped the alchemy steps.

Qin Ran did not continue teasing this arrogant little girl. He took out a pill recipe from his Qiankun bag and handed it to her, saying, "If you have time, you might as well study this pill recipe."

Long Qiqi turned around and took the recipe. After taking a closer look, she saw the three big characters "Bu Tian Dan" written on the cover. She looked up at Qin Ran, pouted, and asked, "You still have such a good thing? Why didn't you take it out earlier?!"

As she spoke, she opened the recipe.

Then the first sentence she saw made her a little overwhelmed - "This pill is made using the water-based alchemy technique."

She is a fire alchemist!

She held back and continued reading until she saw the first elixir. She couldn't hold back any longer - "You need a pair of fine-scaled long-tailed sea dragons, dry them in the hot sun, and then grind them into powder to make the base of the elixir."

What is the slender-scaled long-tailed sea dragon?

She looked up and saw Qin Ran standing there, holding his hands together and trying not to laugh, with a look on his face that showed he was laughing at her.

"You came here on purpose to make fun of me, right?!" she asked fiercely, furious.

"No!" Qin Ran shook his head and said seriously, "I swear, this recipe is absolutely real. I didn't lie to you at all."

"You swear?" Long Qiqi laughed. "If a person like you swears, the sun will rise from the west long ago."

But she still put the recipe away with some doubt.

"This is the recipe for the pill I got recently..." Qin Ran explained to her, "It is indeed the 'Heaven-Repairing Pill', but this is a recipe from the sea, so the herbs required are all from the sea.

"All you need to do is replace the medicinal ingredients in the recipe with the ones we have here."

Long Qiqi rolled his eyes and asked, "I don't even know what the original medicinal materials are, how can I replace them?"

Qin Ran was pleased with himself. He tilted his head and looked at her, smiling, "I know! I can also help you find alternative herbs."

Well! Long Qiqi finally understood that this guy was just teasing a child.

She didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, and turned around angrily...

"Bang!"

She bumped her head against the alchemy furnace.

"Ah! It hurts!" She squatted down again, covering her forehead.

She was squatting on the ground, a tiny ball, looking both pitiful and cute.

"Hahaha..." Qin Ran pointed at her and laughed heartlessly.

After a while, he took out a book, poked Long Qiqi's shoulder with the back of the book, and said, "If you help me with this, I will give you a copy of Lingnanyu's "Heaven-Repairing Pill."

"If I trust you again, I'll be a pig!" Long Qiqi cried.

"How about believing it one last time?" Qin Ran discussed.

“Not so good…”

"Oh! What a pity!" Qin Ran sighed and turned to walk out the door.

Just as he walked to the door, a wronged voice came from under the alchemy furnace: "Let me take a look first..."

Qin Ran threw the book in his hand to her again.

“Water-based Spiritual Plant Technique?” Long Qiqi looked at the cover of the book, frowned again, and stared at Qin Ran, “Are you really here to tease me today? I’m a fire-based alchemist! There’s alchemy fire in my dantian, not alchemy water!”

Qin Ran smiled and said, "I don't want you to do research, I want you to help me. You can be my assistant. I want to do experimental research."

"Assistant?" Long Qiqi flipped through a few pages and said hesitantly, "Step by step!"

"Then you take a look first. We will start the experiment in the next few days." Qin Ran said, turning around and leaving the alchemy room.

Looking at Qin Ran's back, Long Qiqi frowned. She felt that this man was acting strange today.

But she couldn't figure it out, so she sat cross-legged against the alchemy furnace, holding the "Water Magic Spirit Plant Technique" and reading it.

After leaving the research building, Qin Ran walked along the stream until he reached the foot of the Devouring Demon Willow tree.

Zhang Junyi was leaning against a tree reading a book on medicinal materials. Beside him were a few samples he had collected from the greenhouse. Liu Xiaoji was sitting on his shoulder, reading with him.

"This one is Crane Crown Immortal Grass..." Zhang Junyi explained to Liu Xiaoji, "You drew it like this in your novel, but it actually looks like this. There is no spiritual soil in Danfeng, so they don't grow well."

Qin Ran then sat under the Devouring Demon Willow tree and looked down at the Phoenix-winged Tiger Bees beside him, which were pushing the soil and going in and out of the nest. It seemed that they were expanding the hive.

“Master…Master…” Zhang Junyi just noticed Qin Ran and immediately stood up with the book in his arms. He saw the spiritual medicine in his hand again and hid it behind his back unconsciously, hesitating, “These are too many and need to be pulled out. Master, you said that if there are too many in one nest, it will affect the growth of other spiritual medicines…”

"Yeah! You've learned quite well." Qin Ran nodded.

He looked up at the reserved Zhang Junyi and asked kindly, "Is the cyclone stable?"

"It's stable, Master!" Zhang Junyi nodded quickly, "Master taught me many methods and experiences, which are very useful."

"Your master is indeed experienced!" Qin Ran said with a smile, "What about the visualization method? Is it effective? Do you have a soul?"

"Visualization method..." Zhang Junyi looked around cautiously and whispered, "Master, I practice visualization method every night, and my soul appeared a few days ago."

“It seems that you have quite a talent in this area.” Qin Ran praised, “But don’t let your soul leave your body too early, otherwise it will be easily damaged.”

"Yes, First Master."

Qin Ran looked at the woman practicing sword by the lake, and asked Zhang Junyi, "You said you wanted to destroy Zhishen Valley?"

Zhang Junyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

After waiting for a while, until Li Shiyin put away her sword and pondered again, Qin Ran continued, "Maybe I can't wait for you."

He sighed, "The attack from Zhishengu will come soon."

"What?!" Zhang Junyi was shocked and thought he had heard it wrong.

"Nine out of ten people are unhappy in life..." Qin Ran stood up, patted Zhang Junyi on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I can't wait for you to grow up and destroy Zhishen Valley in your own way."

"First Master..." Zhang Junyi was stunned by the sudden news and couldn't recover.

"I hope you can do your part in this war!"

Qin Ran walked forward to the edge of Xijian Lake, looking at Li Shiyin's beautiful appearance as she lowered her head in thought, leaving Zhang Junyi with only her back.

Zhang Junyi stood there blankly, looking up at Qin Ran's back by the lake.

As he watched, he suddenly realized that Qin Ran's back had become vague. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. The lakeside was empty. Only the woman on the lakeside began to dance with the sword again. Qin Ran disappeared from his sight.

Kieran appeared in the underground secret room. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the teleportation formation, still thinking about the question: to run or not to run!

Is he willing to give up Danfeng?

Are you going to fight for Daojianmen regardless of your life?

He closed his eyes, supported his head with one hand, and sensed the situation of his clone in Tianhaiyu. He found that the fool was still drifting in the sea without knowing the direction.

He suddenly felt relieved, and thought, “He’s unreliable.

"It's not safe to go there. Maybe we should stay."
