Elder Dan said emphatically, "Cultivation is inherently going against the will of Heaven. There is no such thing as smooth sailing. Naturally, good things are often accompanied by many obstacles."
Zhu Fanfan immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right! When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their body. So, let's not talk about this. I'm not looking for trouble."
Elder Dan: ...Then why did you tell me about the previous part?
Xi Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Elder Dan, why don't you say something safer?"
Elder Dan glanced at the two of them disdainfully, calling them cowards. Zhu Fanfan immediately said, "I can tell you're insulting me with your eyes. Be careful, or I'll tell Grandma."
Elder Dan immediately put on a gentle smile: "You have a good grasp of your mental power. I don't have much to teach you, but I can teach you about everyday life. For example, fire-based abilities are powerful in attack, but we can use them to start fires and cook. Water-based abilities can be used to create water and also to wash clothes using the force of impact..."
Zhu Fanfan looked at Xi Yan: "Your Dragon Group makes such a good use of its resources?"
Xi Yan looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. The team leader said that strength increases strength, and superpowers are also a kind of strength. They need to be trained at all times. Everything in the team can be used. Water-type abilities can make water, saving time from drawing it from the well. Fire-type abilities can start fires, saving firewood and conserving resources for the country. Other superpowers are also being used to their fullest potential. There is no one who is idle.
Elder Dan said, "We've gone off on a tangent. Let's talk about how to use mental energy. Do you know that mental energy can be used to explore the surrounding environment?"
Zhu Fanfan looked at Elder Dan expressionlessly; needless to say, she used this tactic very skillfully.
Elder Dan added, "With strong mental power, one can alter other people's memories, but it also depends on the strength of the other person's willpower."
Zhu Fanfan wasn't interested; she knew the method.
Elder Dan thought for a moment and said, "The greatest use of mental power is attack; it can affect brainwaves and turn the opponent into an idiot."
Zhu Fanfan was still not interested; these secret manuals of the Ming family all contained such information.
Elder Dan was at a loss. Fanfan seemed to know a lot about all of these things. All he had left was alchemy, but he couldn't teach Fanfan much about it. Fanfan was learning medical principles and knew the recipes. All he could teach was to improve the methods of alchemy. But Fanfan was quick to apply what he learned to other situations, so there was really very little he could teach him. The room he had painstakingly prepared was about to be moved away, and he was really reluctant to leave it.
Elder Dan was extremely distressed. It seemed that he should retire, and this retirement would last a lifetime.
Zhu Fanfan: ...What is Grandpa Dan thinking about that makes him so melancholy? Could it be that he is missing his deceased white moonlight?
Once Elder Dan has this expression, it means he has eaten and drunk his fill and is lost in his own world, so you can ignore him.
Xi Yan was gentle with Zhu Fanfan: "Elder Dan is just like that, acting on a whim. After we go back, I will work with you to refine pills. I've always worked with Elder Dan before, so I know how to work together."
Zhu Fanfan nodded: "While this old man is being sentimental, I'm going to take a walk in the mountains. I wonder if I'll see any pheasants."
Xi Yan knew Elder Dan's strength: "I will protect you."
Zhu Fanfan refused: "There's no danger here, I can manage on my own. You should protect Grandpa Dan! He's old and frail, he needs to be taken care of. It would be terrible if he sprained his ankle without even realizing it."
Elder Dan snapped out of his daze: "I'm still here! Make sure I can hear you before you curse me."
Zhu Fanfan wasn't afraid at all: "So what if you're here? I didn't stop you from listening. I'm going now, you can stay here and relax!"
Last time she only wandered around the river. After all, a radio station had appeared, and the army should have already searched the entire mountain. It was safe now, and it was impossible for another secret base to appear. She could look for pheasants around the area with peace of mind.
It seems she doesn't have any pheasants or wild ducks in her space yet, so she's collecting them all this time, just in case they come in handy.
After walking for a while, I used my mental energy to scan the surroundings and quickly spotted a few pheasants. I ran over quickly, as swift as a rabbit, and was almost instantly in front of the pheasants. I trapped them with my mental energy and threw them into my spatial storage. I collected three in total, but I didn't know if they were male or female.
After walking around for a while and feeling that I had digested my food, I took a wild rabbit back home. My apprentice brother Yan had already grilled all the seafood.
Elder Dan watched longingly, and Zhu Fanfan couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't you go for a walk too?"
Elder Dan shook his head immediately: "No, I want to wait until I'm hungry to eat seafood. Let's not roast the rabbit, we'll make spicy rabbit when we get back."
Zhu Fanfan didn't say anything more. The three of them chatted and laughed in the cave until it was almost afternoon. Elder Dan finished eating all the seafood before deciding to go back. They had almost finished eating, and Xi Yan carried the rest back.
Upon arriving home, everything was already prepared in front of the alchemy cauldron. Zhu Fanfan worked with Xi Yan to refine the pills, following Elder Dan's instructions. Xi Yan lived up to his reputation as Elder Dan's capable assistant, managing to straighten Fanfan out no matter how uncooperative she was. The pills were quickly completed. This time, she seemed to have exhausted her spiritual energy again, but she didn't feel uncomfortable. It seems her spiritual energy has improved quite rapidly.
While waiting for the cauldron to cool down, there was a knock on the door. Zhu Fanfan didn't want to be disturbed, so he locked the door when he returned. Curious about who would come at this time, Zhu Fanfan went to open the door.
To everyone's surprise, when they opened the door, they saw Lin Xiaofang and Lü Gui outside. Upon seeing Fanfan, they were overjoyed: "Fanfan, I knew you were home. I was afraid you would be bored by yourself, so I came to keep you company."
Zhu Fanfan blocked the doorway, saying, "I have guests at home, it's inconvenient."
Lin Xiaofang didn't mind: "My dad is like a child of the Zhu family. Grandpa Zhu and Grandma Liu are not around, and you don't know how to take care of people. Don't be shy about asking me for help."
Zhu Fanfan bluntly stated her position: "Even if they are guests, I am still a child. They are taking care of me, so you don't need to interfere."
Lin Xiaofang was on the verge of tears: "Fanfan, do you hate me? Because when you were in Shanghai, I was taking care of Grandpa Zhu and Grandma Liu at the Zhu family home. Do you think I was stealing your grandparents?"
Zhu Fanfan interrupted, "Those are my grandparents, you can't take them away. If there's nothing else, you can leave. I don't like you and I don't want to be friends with you."
She simply disliked Lin Xiaofang. She could understand her background and her scheming, but that didn't mean she approved of it. They were just not compatible; they couldn't possibly hang out together. Her attitude was already very clear, yet Lin Xiaofang kept coming to her only to be turned away. She didn't know what Lin Xiaofang was after.
Lu Gui hurriedly said, "We just came to see you. If you don't need our help, we'll go to class now."
Lin Xiaofang said pitifully, "We've all been kicked out. Can we go back?"
