It was another sunny day.
In the morning, Qin Ran was refining the elixir while Li Shiyin was practicing swordsmanship. After lunch and a short rest, Li Shiyin continued to dig the lake.
The artificial lake project has been underway for five or six days. Li Shiyin dug a fairly large mud pit on the riverside grass, which is ten meters in radius and nearly two meters deep. He is indeed a stupid apprentice, who is lazy and doesn't steal at all.
Qin Ran cleaned up the dishes, went out for a walk, and finally came to the mud pit to act as a supervisor.
Compared with the first day of supervision, he had an extra parasol, a small table, and a pair of sunglasses, all of which he made in the past few days.
Under the parasol, he was wearing sunglasses and lying on a lounge chair, drinking the ice soda on the small table with a long straw. His hatred was full.
The master's abominable behavior has been going on for several days. Li Shiyin has gradually gotten used to it. She works with her back to this side, pretending that the master doesn't see anything.
It was in this situation that two figures appeared in the distance, coming crookedly towards Danfeng. They were not moving fast, and in the distance they looked like two leisurely clouds. It took a while for them to get closer, passing over the treetops of the forest and stopping on the grass.
Qin Ran was concentrating on deciphering the jade slip and didn't notice that it was Li Shiyin who noticed someone coming first.
She stood up in the mud pit and looked up at the two people not far away. They were a man and a woman, the man was handsome and the woman was bright and generous, their clothes fluttered, like a fairy couple.
Li Shiyin didn't know the man, but she was somewhat familiar with the woman. At the Questioning Conference, the woman's performance was comparable to hers. If she remembered correctly, her name was Tian Wenjin.
And if she wasn't dazzled, Tian Wenjin had flown over on her own sword just now.
Tian Wenjin and Huang Feiyu landed on the lawn and walked over here. When they were a few meters in front of Qin Ran, they bowed and said, "Greetings, Uncle Qin!"
"Yeah!" Qin Ran had naturally noticed them by this time. He sat up from the recliner, took off his sunglasses, and waved to signal them not to be polite.
"Have you found all the herbs?" He looked at Huang Feiyu.
“I have tried my best and finally gathered all the herbs.” Huang Feiyu took a makeshift Qiankun bag from his waist, walked forward and handed it to Qin Ran.
The so-called temporary Qiankun bag is made of cloth material that is difficult to withstand the spatial distortion caused by the Qiankun formation. It will collapse after one or two uses. This kind of Qiankun bag is cheap and very common in the world of immortal cultivation.
Qin Ran took the temporary Qiankun bag, probed inside, checked the herbs, and found that the quality and quantity were sufficient. Huang Feiyu was indeed a person who could get along well.
"The Ice Condensation Pill is relatively simple and won't take too long to refine. But I'm quite busy these two days, so you can come and get it the day after tomorrow." Qin Ran looked up and said to Huang Feiyu.
"Yes, uncle!" Huang Feiyu nodded and smiled, "Please pay more attention to it, uncle. My brother and I have an appointment to hunt the Lion Heart Wild Flame Beast. I am just waiting for me to master the Frost Sword Technique."
"Lionheart Wild Flame Beast?" Qin Ran was a little surprised. The Lionheart Wild Flame Beast was a fourth-level monster, equivalent to a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. Huang Feiyu was actually going to hunt such a monster? It seemed that this disciple's cultivation was even higher than he thought. He nodded and replied, "Well, I know."
Huang Feiyu took out another pocket and gave it to Qin Ran, saying, "This is a hundred spirit stones, which is the cost of asking Master Uncle to refine the elixir."
It cost five hundred spirit stones to buy a bottle of inferior ice-condensing pills, but with Qin Ran's help, he bought it at a low price, and the thank-you gift to Qin Ran was three hundred spirit stones. Why did he only give Qin Ran one hundred spirit stones when he specially asked him to refine the pill
This is exactly where Huang Feiyu is smart. On the surface, there are only 100 spirit stones, but secretly there are more than ten times more.
First, all the herbs for refining Bing Ning Dan were prepared by him, and Qin Ran just started the furnace to refine it; second, the amount of herbs he provided was sufficient, enough to refine three furnaces of pills, but he only needed the amount for one furnace; third, this was just the cost, not a thank you gift...
Qin Ran is an elder, so it is not appropriate for him to charge too much from a junior. Huang Feiyu intends to disperse the remuneration in the hope that Qin Ran can collect more money.
He did this intentionally to curry favor with Qin Ran.
Qin Ran has lived two lives and has seen few people with such high emotional intelligence and tact. However, in the world of immortal cultivation, it is people like this who can go far.
Qin Ran secretly praised Huang Feiyu in his heart, raised his hand to take the spirit stone, and said without any hesitation: "I will try my best to make it of higher quality."
"Thank you, Uncle Master!" Huang Feiyu bowed again.
While the two of them were making a weird deal, Tian Wenjin on the side was looking at Li Shiyin lying in the mud pit.
These two peerless beauties of Jianfeng in Qin Ran's heart, one was on the lawn at this moment, with the blue sky and white clouds behind her, she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with fairy-like appearance, truly a peerless beauty; the other was in a mud pit, with mud and gravel under her feet, she was wearing coarse cloth and simple clothes, with unkempt hair and dirty face, truly a country woman.
Tian Wenjin looked down at Li Shiyin from above. She thought to herself, life is like this. Once you make the wrong choice,
At this time, she has already established her foundation and has taken the lead in the path of cultivating immortals, and this person whom she once regarded as a rival...
How pitiful! She must have made a stupid mistake to be punished like this.
Li Shiyin was in the mud pit, looking up at Tian Wenjin. Life is like this, there is no harm without comparison. If she hadn't known that Tian Wenjin had already established his foundation and could already cast spells and fly around, she wouldn't have felt so unbalanced. She would still foolishly continue to dig the lake, deceiving herself that it was a special kind of practice.
But the reality was that this potential rival was standing there looking down at her.
At this moment, an idea flashed through her mind. The master was indeed just a small cultivator in the foundation-building stage, with low cultivation and mediocre qualifications. He was not qualified to be her master. For the sake of her own future, she might have to go to Jianfeng.
The two girls, one taller and one shorter, looked at each other without saying anything, but the difference in their auras was clearly visible.
Huang Feiyu, who had just finished his work, saw Li Shiyin at the bottom of the pit and said, "This must be Junior Sister Li Shiyin. I've heard of you. You are indeed extraordinary."
He also pointed at himself and introduced himself, "I am Huang Feiyu, a disciple of Jianfeng."
Li Shiyin looked at him and said nothing.
Huang Feiyu took a look at the mud pit where Li Shiyin was, and immediately understood what Qin Ran was doing. He praised her, "Junior sister, you have laid a solid foundation. Your cultivation level will be very solid in the future."
However, among the three people present, Tian Wenjin thought he was being polite, Li Shiyin thought he was being sarcastic, and Qin Ran understood what he meant but did not respond.
Qin Ran glanced at Li Shiyin, who was sitting in the mud pit with a blank expression and a cold and arrogant goddess temperament. He ignored her and turned to look at Tian Wenjin and asked, "Are the clothes ready?"
“I made two.” Tian Wenjin came back to his senses, bowed, took out a package from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Qin Ran.
"Yes!" Qin Ran took the package and put it on the table, nodding.
The atmosphere on the field suddenly became a little cold. After all, it was Huang Feiyu. He hurriedly asked to leave: "Uncle Master, if you have nothing else to tell me, I will take my leave first."
"I won't keep you here either." Qin Ran said, "Come back in two days to get the Ice Condensation Pill."
Huang Feiyu saluted with Tian Wenjin and retreated to the edge of the forest, then took off into the air and flew towards Jianfeng.
Seeing the two men leave, Li Shiyin dropped the shovel and hoe, climbed out of the mud pit, came to Qin Ran, and looked at him with a cold face.
