While Shen Qian was talking to Wan Ning, he didn't notice that there was a complicated look looking at him in a shadowed corner next to him.
During these three or four months, the young man was lost in the flowers and applause of his hometown, almost thinking that he was about to forget it.
He never expected that he would meet Shen Qian here again.
"Why are you here in Jiangzhong..." The young man said softly, gritting his teeth.
"You probably didn't read the newspaper. Don't you know that his final choice was Jiangzhong Junwu?"
Another clear voice sounded behind the boy, with a hint of teasing.
The young man was silent, but the owner of the voice refused to let him go, and chuckled to himself: "Oh, I almost forgot, do you only broadcast local news in Tongcheng? No, you can always read it in Mingcheng's newspapers, right? The page where the college entrance examination results are announced is very exciting..."
"Li Jiaqi!"
The young man finally couldn't help it, and suddenly turned around and stared fiercely at the girl in the short skirt with bright eyes and white teeth, "Don't think that I don't dare to touch you because of the teacher's restraint!"
"Yes, that's what I think. Otherwise, what are you waiting for?"
The girl stretched lazily, her youthful and beautiful curves fully exposed, but she didn't care about the boy's bad attitude.
"Geng Qianqiu, you were no match for me four months ago, and you are no different now!"
"hehe."
The young man narrowed his eyes and exuded a dangerous aura.
"By the way, haven't you been waiting for the day to meet Shen Qian again? Why don't you challenge him directly? Don't tell me that you have been just collecting gifts for the past four months, right?"
Li Jiaqi said with a smile as if she was unaware.
Geng Qianqiu was silent for a while, but suddenly calmed down. He glanced at Li Jiaqi disdainfully without any explanation, then turned and walked towards where his friends were.
Li Jiaqi looked at Geng Qianqiu's back, and the smile on his face slowly dissipated, turning into a look of contemplation.
Geng Qianqiu has indeed become stronger...
At least Li Jiaqi found that she could no longer see through the other party.
It seems that the rumors are not false. The shame of the college entrance examination has turned into motivation for the other party. It is said that Uncle Kunhu personally took action and gave Geng Qianqiu a great experience, which transformed the other party.
She knew that Geng Qianqiu must have great hostility or fighting spirit towards Shen Qian.
It just seems that the other party is still waiting for some opportunity.
...What about myself?
Li Jiaqi turned her head slightly and glanced at the young man standing at the door of the workshop not far away, with anger and confusion in his eyes.
He was angry because Shen Qian's eyes had already passed over him when he entered the small courtyard, but... Shen Qian didn't seem to recognize him at all!
Who is that beautiful long-legged woman next to him?
And that man who looks like a bodyguard with unfathomable aura...
Not to mention these, Shen Qian's body has also changed greatly.
Li Jiaqi couldn't tell where exactly these changes came from, but she was absolutely convinced that the other person was completely different.
If after a few months, Geng Qianqiu gave her the feeling of being completely transformed, then Shen Qian gave her the feeling that...it was impossible to judge.
She couldn't explain the feeling at all, but she knew that Shen Qian couldn't stand still in the past four months.
Her confusion came from the fact that, driven by some strange idea, she actually chose Jiangzhong Army when filling out her application form.
This is different from the usual choices of geniuses from the ancient martial arts family.
Putting away his distracting thoughts, Li Jiaqi also followed Geng Qianqiu into the small circle.
The formation of this small circle is accidental, but the people involved are all freshmen of Jiangzhong Junwu this year, and everyone has a good family background. The division commanders have various connections, and they are all members of the Thousand Star Club .
Li Jiaqi participated purely to get some information more conveniently and quickly.
"Qianqiu, Jiaqi, come quickly, Shi Cong just said that he knows how to invite Master Gu to take action!"
A young man greeted the two of them warmly.
Geng Qianqiu and Li Jiaqi became curious after hearing this and quickly approached.
Naturally, these people appeared here not to gather together to eat melon seeds and chat, but also to ask the ancient master to forge a powerful and suitable spiritual weapon.
The information they possess is also more comprehensive than the average person, and they know that asking Master Gu to take action is not something that can simply be solved with money.
The "Shi Cong" in the youth's mouth is currently a young man who has a vague tendency to be the leader among their group of freshmen in the military.
The other party's full name is Ye Shicong. He comes from the prosperous Jiangnan area. Not only does he come from a military family, he is also the top martial arts scholar in the second province of Jiangnan. He is usually very well-informed.
After Li Jiaqi and Geng Qianqiu came over, Ye Shicong smiled mysteriously and said slowly: "I asked an acquaintance of the Alchemy Association and learned some inside information."
Li Jiaqi rolled her eyes. She was actually tired of Ye Shicong's pretentious gesture, but the other party seemed to think it was more powerful.
"Brother Ye, you should hurry up and say it!"
Someone couldn't help but urge.
Ye Shicong deliberately waited for a while, and when everyone was a little impatient, he spoke leisurely.
"Actually, Gu Yunlan often took jobs more than a year ago. But a year ago, Ran Feng, another founder of Fengyun Blacksmith Shop and her sworn brother, had an accident in the restricted area, and then fell into a coma with severe injuries and never woke up. , that’s why she became like this.”
After everyone reacted for a while, Geng Qianqiu seemed to realize something, "So the key to asking her to take action actually lies in that Ran Feng?"
"Yes, in fact, if you look closely at the customers that Gu Yunlan has dealt with in the past two years, she is willing to forge basically because the other party brought some kind of precious elixir or herb. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it must be right. She works.”
Ye Shicong stated his conclusion firmly.
"But we don't know what kind of disease Ran Feng has?" Someone frowned and raised doubts.
"Isn't this simple?"
Li Jiaqi shrugged, "According to the data, Ran Feng is not only a powerful alchemist, but also a strong man who has one foot in the mountains and seas."
"There are only a few possibilities that can make half of the mountain and sea experts fall into coma. There are not too many pills that can work. Give whatever you can find. I think the other party will treat it as a dead horse. The idea of a live horse doctor, I am afraid that everyone will not refuse."
"good!"
Ye Shicong glanced at Li Jiaqi appreciatively, and then ordered a young man who had been standing in the outer circle: "Go to Gu Yunlan's assistant and bring some paper over first. Anyway, let's get in touch with Gu Yunlan first."
"With the strength of us people, can't we still meet the needs of the other party?"
Although Ye Shicong's last words sounded a bit arrogant, no one had any intention of refuting it, because to a certain extent it was indeed true.
The young man who went to get paper and pen soon returned. Ye Shicong wrote a few words on the note himself, and then asked the young man to hand it over to the assistant.
After Gu Yunlan's assistant collected a circle of papers, he quickly returned to the workshop, probably to report to Gu Yunlan.
"roll!"
Ye Shicong turned his head and found an emperor monkey lying on the wall. He immediately frowned and scolded.
Emperor Monkey bared his teeth at Ye Shicong, but still jumped off the corner before Ye Shicong had an attack and hid out of sight.
No one cares about this little episode. After all, in the psychic market, such domestic monsters are too common.
The matter was resolved, and Ye Shicong and others relaxed. While they were chatting and joking casually, the door of the workshop reopened.
The one who walked out was not the dirty assistant, but Gu Yunlan who was walking in a hurry.
The rapid pace even made the opponent forget to control his strength, and the heavy metal legs left deep marks on the ground.
Amid the stunned eyes of the people around him, Gu Yunlan rushed straight to the young man with an emperor monkey lying on his shoulder. He was breathing rapidly, trembling all over, and staring at the boy.
"You...are you telling the truth?"
Gu Yunlan's voice was even a little distorted in her excitement, "Can you, can you... completely cure him?!"
Most of the people present were a little confused after hearing Gu Yunlan's words, except for Ye Shicong and others whose expressions changed.
"As long as you are not dead, there is hope."
Shen Qian smiled slightly. Although he didn't say anything to death, his words unconsciously revealed an extremely powerful self-confidence.
"You come with me!"
Gu Yunlan stared at Shen Qian, and glanced at Dao Jiu behind him again, then nodded, turned and walked towards the workshop.
Before anyone could react, Shen Qian, Dao Jiu and Wan Ning followed Gu Yunlan into the workshop. At the last moment, a white-haired monkey jumped down from the eaves and got in.
"Grass!"
As soon as Ye Shicong realized what he was doing and took a few steps forward, the door slammed shut.
"What's going on? Why is Master Gu looking for that person?"
"Shouldn't she be looking for us?"
Others were also stunned.
Ye Shicong calmed down quickly. He suddenly thought of the white emperor monkey, and seemed to realize something, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Wait here and we'll figure it out."
Ye Shicong seemed to suddenly have some hostility towards Shen Qian, whom he had never met before, which surprised both Geng Qianqiu and Li Jiaqi.
However, Geng Qianqiu's eyes flickered, while Li Jiaqi's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, with some kind of worry faintly in her eyes.
…
Shen Qian, three others and one monkey followed Gu Yunlan through the slightly messy workshop, and then came to an independent courtyard behind the workshop.
The strange smell in the air became more obvious, and Shen Qian already had a certain guess.
What he didn't expect was that the emperor monkey lying on his shoulder also "chirped" at him.
"Where did you hear that?"
Shen Qian was a little surprised, but it was basically consistent with his guess.
"He...is inside."
Gu Yunlan's steps seemed a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to face it.
Shen Qian took the initiative and pushed open the door of the back room. The strong smell of medicine hit his face. Shen Qian also saw the simple formation flags arranged in the corner.
Lying on a soft couch in the middle of the room was a man wrapped in gauze. The gauze was soaked with liquid medicine. The man's expression remained frozen, and at first glance he looked like a dead body.
But if you look carefully, you can detect a trace of life that seems to be extinguished at any time.
"Brother Ran..."
"Needless to say, let me guess, he is actually dead, right?"
Shen Qian interrupted Gu Yunlan who was about to speak, "Your courtyard is full of 'cocoon grass', and the most common use of this herb is to keep corpses from rotting. That's why I came to you." I smelled it when I was in the blacksmith shop.”
"That's right."
Seeing that Shen Qian had real abilities, Gu Yunlan felt relieved and explained: "About fourteen months ago, Brother Ran went to sea in order to seek an opportunity to completely break through the mountains and seas, but he encountered a life and death crisis. …Didn’t make it through.”
"Fortunately, there was another mountain and sea strongman who was proficient in the spiritual way passing by, and Brother Ran stepped into the mountains and seas again, and had already formed part of his spiritual core. The mountain and sea strongman collected the spiritual fragments of Brother Ran, And brought back his body.”
"I searched for ways to barely maintain Brother Ran's last glimmer of vitality, but I don't know how to revive him."
"I heard that some princes can do it, but I can't get in at all, and this is probably not a small burden for the princes. After more than a year, I have almost despaired..."
Gu Yunlan, who had gradually calmed down, spoke with dark eyes, and she suddenly smiled.
"Actually, you are comforting me, right? There is no way to completely save his life. Even if he is a true warrior of mountains and seas, it is a luxury to be resurrected with his spiritual core after his death, not to mention Brother Ran..."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as you really have a way to keep Brother Ran alive, I'm willing to help you practice it..."
"Master Gu!"
Shen Qian, who had been observing Ran Feng for a long time, interrupted Gu Yunlan, "I didn't lie to you. Master Ran may not be hopeless."
"Are you serious?"
Gu Yunlan's eyes lit up, and she was a little doubtful, "What exactly is the method you are talking about?"
"Have you ever heard of an elixir called 'creation'? Shen Qian asked after smiling.
"good fortune?"
Gu Yunlan frowned and thought, "I seem to have heard it somewhere... Oh, I remembered it. I went to a friend who was an alchemist for help. He talked about this kind of elixir, but it seemed that it was still in the research stage. He said The possibility of this kind of elixir coming out is not high."
"The method you're talking about is this elixir called 'creation'?"
Gu Yunlan did not hide the disappointment on his face.
There are too many such illusory conceptual elixirs in the medicine refining world.
"Then what if I tell you that 'Zaihua' has actually been successfully developed?" Shen Qian smiled again.
"What?" Gu Yunlan was a little confused.
"Do you know Cheng Shanhe?" Shen Qian asked.
"Of course, there are not many master figures in the world of medicine who don't know this." Gu Yunlan dianto.
So Shen Qian smiled slightly, took out his bracelet and dialed Cheng Shanhe's number.
"Beep...the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later."
Shen Qian's smile froze, he glanced at Gu Yunlan, who looked strange, and quickly found another number and dialed before the atmosphere became completely awkward.
"Brother Shen!"
Hearing the excited and familiar shout, Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xiao Wei is relatively reliable...
