Chapter 53 Baozhou, A Little Interlude
"After listening to what Third Grandfather said, Xiao Ran learned that Senior Brother Lin has a special talent. He has unique and extremely high insights into identifying herbs or knowledge related to pharmacists."
"I wonder if Xiao Ran could visit her senior brother from time to time and learn about the path of the pharmacist."
"Junior Sister, this little Yun'er beside you has a pitiful background. She's all alone in her family. In the town where they used to live, only a small number of people survived. She's already very pitiful."
"When the time comes, please ask your senior brother to help your junior sister teach Xiaoyun'er as well."
Ge Ranran then turned her gaze to Lin Zhou, who was standing to the side, and spoke to him sincerely.
"etc!"
"My place is really remote. I have to guard the medicinal herb fields and cultivate at the same time. It's really..."
Lin Zhou's right eyelid started twitching uncontrollably.
How did this get dragged into him?
This old demon of Gang Jin even wants to teach her the knowledge of pharmacists. Don't worry, that's absolutely impossible, unless he's dead.
"Senior brother."
"Xiao Ran definitely won't let you teach her for nothing."
Ge Pingan patted Lin Zhou on the shoulder and winked, as if he had some kind of meaning.
"Yes, senior brother."
Ge Ranran quickly replied.
"This isn't any other problem."
Lin Zhou was about to refuse, but if Ge Ranran had already offered such generous terms, and he still stubbornly refused, wouldn't that be too abnormal?
Moreover, he was only a newly initiated outer disciple, and this old demon Qi Yun knew exactly when he arrived; they had all come in the same car.
Lin Zhou doesn't know what Qi Yun the Old Demon is thinking, but Ge Ranran has definitely disrupted Qi Yun the Old Demon's train of thought.
Originally, working as a menial laborer at Demon Suppression Peak was already close to achieving his goal.
This old devil certainly didn't expect that Ge Ranran would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
"Alright, but I can only teach you a thing or two occasionally."
Lin Zhou could only nod in agreement. That was all he could do. If he refused again, it would inevitably arouse Qi Yun's suspicion. After all, Qi Yun knew the identities of Ge Ranran and Ge Ping'an. It would be too abnormal for a newly initiated outer disciple like him to refuse.
Once this old devil becomes alert, who knows what kind of interest he might develop in Lin Zhou next? If he investigates further, wouldn't his own life be threatened?
Lin Zhou's trump card, the Silver-Winged Flying Leopard, was only at the late stage of the Core Formation realm. If it were to be targeted by such a powerful old demon, the consequences would be dire.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin."
"Come, let's take our seats."
"Senior Brother Lin, let me take you inside to sit. You can get some premium porridge there."
Ge Pingan pulled Lin Zhou inside, with Ge Ranran following behind.
Ge Ranran didn't say anything, she just followed Ge Ping'an.
Because Ge Ranran knew very well the importance of her third grandfather in the ancestor's eyes. This Dan-level cultivator from their Ge family was the most famous, while the other young Dan-level cultivator was in the Demon Suppression Army and rarely returned home.
Moreover, the Demon Suppression Army is always on the front lines fighting against demons.
He would likely perish at the hands of a demon in the Core Formation Realm. Although the Ge family had two members in the Core Formation Realm, the backbone of the family was Elder Ge, who was not very old in the Core Formation Realm.
Furthermore, alchemists do not need to fight demons. With the nourishment of the power of pills, they can live for at least several decades without any problems.
A moment later.
Lin Zhou and Ge Ranran sat at a table, and during the meal, a bowl of porridge was served, with each person receiving only one bowl.
But after just one bowl...
All the energy and blood in his body were mobilized, and a tingling sensation spread through his bones.
[Inspiration +1.5]
Then, a prompt appeared before Lin Zhou's eyes: the spiritual energy of this precious porridge was secondary; the main thing was the astonishing power of blood and qi it contained, after all, it was cooked with the flesh and blood of a demon in the Core Formation Realm.
The effect is excellent.
Lin Zhou only used a few of his specially made tea bags to obtain this precious porridge, which was equivalent to his years of hard work. He definitely made a fortune.
The thought of possibly meeting Qi Yun, the old demon, and having had several other exchanges suppressed the joy in her heart.
However, with the astonishing power of qi and blood contained in this precious porridge, he will be able to greatly reduce the time it takes to advance to the Ming Jin level after returning home. After all, he is only at the Tongmai level, and his strength is still too weak in the Fenglei Sword Sect.
After finishing his meal, Lin Zhou got up, said goodbye to Ge Ranran, and left the celebration.
As for Ge Ping'an, as Elder Ge's most beloved youngest son, he naturally sat at a table with those important figures in the Core Formation Realm. He was able to get a taste of this precious porridge, and that was enough to fulfill his purpose for the trip.
But after walking a hundred paces, he heard footsteps behind him.
Lin Zhou could clearly sense the terrifying spiritual energy emanating from Qi Yun the Old Demon, which was approaching him.
"Senior Brother Lin."
"Third Grandfather said that if you leave, I have to go with you and get familiar with the medicinal herb fields that Senior Brother Lin is guarding."
Ge Ranran said with a serious expression.
She dared not disobey the instructions given to her by her third grandfather, Ge Ping'an.
If her father finds out when she gets back, who knows how he'll punish her.
"This…"
"Okay, come with me."
Lin Zhou glanced at Ge Ranran, then scanned Qi Yun, the old demon, who was following behind.
What's meant to be will be; if it's meant to be, there's no escaping it!
calm down!
I only need to impart some pharmacist knowledge to help people get acquainted with the profession.
After all, Lin Zhou had figured out that one of the reasons Ge Ranran was so enthusiastic was because of Ge Ping'an's attitude. Lin Zhou felt that he had underestimated Ge Ping'an's importance.
Who would have thought that the chubby kid who came to deliver the demon blood had such a powerful background?
I should have known better than to point out the flaws in that useless pill.
Now we wouldn't get involved in so many things.
Lin Zhou led the two girls, Ge Ranran and Ge Ranran, back to his courtyard in the No. 3 medicinal field of the Bingzi.
"Senior brother is truly diligent and hardworking; he must be practicing martial arts every day."
At this moment, Ge Ranran looked at the several human figures placed in the courtyard, as well as some footprints of varying depths in the courtyard. These were traces left by people who often practiced martial arts.
"Junior Sister Ge, you're too kind."
"Senior brother entered the sect based on his demon-slaying merits, and his cultivation level is low. If he doesn't improve his cultivation level as soon as possible, even taking care of the medicine field will be a difficult task."
Lin Zhou said politely.
He then welcomed Ge Ranran and the others into the house, brewed several pots of tea, and after Ge Ranran asked them some questions, he stayed for a full hour before getting up to leave.
Lin Zhou breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Ge Ranran and Qi Yun's figures disappear along the distant mountain path.
...
at this time.
On the road through the snowy forest.
"Xiao Yun'er, do you think Senior Brother Lin doesn't want to stay with me?"
"I have a feeling that you're intentionally or unintentionally avoiding something?"
Ge Ranran walked slowly along the mountain path and asked Qi Yun, who was standing to the side, a question.
"Senior sister, I think Senior Brother Lin is just flattered because he thinks you are of a much higher status."
Qi Yun began to analyze.
"Could it be that Lin Zhou sensed something from me?"
"Impossible, a mere kid who's only at the Meridian Opening stage."
"Now we can only take it one step at a time."
"Let's slowly gather information about Demon-Suppressing Peak."
"Second Brother's presence wasn't seen on Demon Suppression Peak; perhaps he wasn't even in the dungeon..."
Qi Yun didn't dwell on that ordinary outer disciple anymore, but focused her attention on Demon Suppression Peak. Today's events were just a trivial little episode.
