Chapter 65
“Director Lin, I’ll leave now if there’s nothing else!”
Li Zheng said with a smile.
“What are you?”
Lin Ran asked.
“There was an emergency just now, right here in the hotel, if I had known that you were here, Director, I wouldn’t have come over!”
Li Zheng scratched his head awkwardly and laughed.
“Well, you guys continue eating, I have to go back to the hospital!”
Li Zheng said and left the room.
“I still have something to do, I’ll go first!”
Seeing this, Fu Hao had no face to stay and dropped a sentence and left the room immediately after him.
Wang Shilong’s face was gloomy and he didn’t say a word, and Qimei’s cheeks were even hotter.
“Hey!”
Wang Shilong saw this and hurriedly followed.
Liu Chen shouted from behind.
“Hey hey! Don’t forget to settle the bill, and what you said in the bet before, you still have to treat me tomorrow night, I will come back!”
Hearing Liu Chen’s words, Chimei almost fell on his heels and left the hotel without looking back in anger.
The departure of Chimei and Wang Shilong undoubtedly made the whole dinner party a lot more harmonious.
With Lin Ran and the others being able to play it down, the crowd soon forgot about the unpleasant affair and talked and laughed for more than three hours before they were finally satisfied and left.
Liu Chen left directly with Brother 9, while Lin Ran went back to his place with Song Nuan.
After arriving home, Song Nuan went to take a shower first, while Lin Ran didn’t stop for a moment and went straight to work on the formation.
Now that he had moved to a new place, the burden of Song Nuan’s safety was placed on him, so he had to make his own place safe and secure, or else not only Song Yujiang but also Lin Ran himself would not be able to explain himself.
The formation Lin Ran wanted to set up this time was precisely the Xuan Yang Pharmacopoeia, which was called the “Qian Kun Formation” and was mainly used to warn and defend against the invasion of evil and demonic things.
The incident that Song Nuan had encountered earlier showed that the other party was probably also proficient in Feng Shui, although he could not guess how strong he was, but at least he was not too weak.
Lin Ran took out all the formation materials and counted them one by one, and was instantly baffled.
The next time he came out of Gu Yu Zhai, he received a call directly from Liu Chen, causing him to forget about another important material, looking at the table full of materials Lin Ran was speechless in his heart.
“Forget it, let’s use essence blood instead, support it for one night, then go to the Thousand Pill Workshop tomorrow morning to buy it!”
Lin Ran calculated in his mind, the two most important materials, the Red Flame Flower had already been bought at Gu Yu Zhai, but the Imperial Cold Age was forgotten.
“It seems that my state of mind is still not enough, to be distracted by such things!”
Lin Ran was helpless, he had thought that after receiving his ancestor’s inheritance, he could already be ancient and unperturbed, but when he really came across things, his state of mind was still somewhat affected.
“No wonder the ancients used to say, “I have to think about myself three times a day, it seems that I have drifted a bit recently!”
When Lin Ran was reflecting on himself, Song Nuan had already finished her bath and came out, looking at the table full of things, very excited.
“Hurry up, hurry up, let me see how you set up the formation!”
“Are you that curious?”
Lin Ran was helpless, but Song Nuan said.
“Of course I’m curious, I’ve never seen this kind of arcane stuff before, just from watching feng shui masters setting up formations on TV, but those must be all lies!”
“Well, at least you’re right about one thing, those are indeed all lies!”
Lin Ran had no choice but to get up and start setting up.
The materials he bought this time were very large, and Lin Ran divided them into three categories, namely the formation base materials, the connecting materials, and the final formation eye materials.
The connecting materials need to be carefully arranged, so that each of them can be connected together to form an echo.
And finally, there are the formation eye materials, the two most important ones, the imperial cold age and the red hot flower.
“Oops! We seem to have forgotten to buy the Cold Age!”
Song Nuan suddenly remembered this and looked at Lin Ran with a dumbfounded expression.
“I know, let’s use essence blood instead tonight, I’ll find time to buy them back tomorrow!”
Lin Ran said, suddenly catching Song Nuan’s hand unawares, scaring Song Nuan into jumping back a step and looking at him warily.
“You …. What do you want! We can only be superficial boyfriend and girlfriend, the actual hammer thing can’t be done!”
“What are you thinking, I need a drop of your essence blood!”
Lin Ran said helplessly.
It was Song Nuan’s turn to look odd, she looked at Lin Ran, hesitating and looking very embarra*sed, before saying a moment later.
“You …. You’re late… That relative of mine, he’s only just left, there’s no more of that now!”
“Pfft!”
Lin Ran’s mouthful of old blood almost didn’t spurt out as he said speechlessly.
“My great beauty, I’m talking about the essence of essence, not the meridian blood of the meridians!”
Song Nuan sniffed her pretty face and said in shame.
“Who told you not to say it clearly, it’s nasty!”
Saying annoying, Song Nuan still put her palm out, Lin Ran quickly fetched a silver needle and gently stabbed it, taking out a drop of blood.
Taking out the blood, Lin Ran dripped it onto the Imperial Red Flame Flower, and then fixed it at the position of the formation eye.
“Done?”
Song Nuan asked from the side.
“Mm!”
Lin Ran nodded his head, but Song Nuan was greatly disappointed.
“And, I thought there was something strange happening, how come there was no reaction at all after you finished setting up the formation!”
“……”
Lin Ran’s face was full of black lines and he was speechless.
“This means the house is clean, are you expecting something dirty to come?”
“Er… That’s not true!”
Song Nuan sat down on the sofa and looked at some of the materials still left on the table, and one of the small bottles that resembled eye drops attracted her.
“Just eye drops?”
Song Nuan picked it up and looked at it, not noticing the logo, her own eyes happened to be a little sore, so she smoothly put a drop into her eyes.
Lin Ran had just finished checking if the formation was solid at this moment, and when she came back and saw Song Nuan’s action, she was startled and hurriedly shouted.
“Hey! You’re crazy!”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
Song Nuan didn’t react, and the dripping liquid had already fallen into her right eye.
She rubbed her eye and was puzzled to see Lin Ran standing beside her with a speechless face.
“What’s wrong? Just using your eye drops for a bit, is it necessary to react so much?”
With that said Song Nuan put the bottle back on the coffee table and got up to prepare to leave.
But just as she got up she froze, her face instantly turned unusually pale, as if she had seen something terrible.
Seeing this, Lin Ran already knew that it was not a second, and lowered her voice and said.
“That’s a cow’s tear! You can see ghosts when you drop them!”
After saying that, he saw Song Nuan, blinking hard a few times, as if to show him something, but her whole body did not move at all, as if her whole body was fixed except for her eyes.
Lin Ran saw the situation and knew that things were not second, and immediately said.
“Don’t stare at that kind of thing, divert yourself away, hurry up or it will haunt you!”
Song Nuan wanted to cry, how to divert, her whole body was not obeying her, not to mention moving, she couldn’t even turn her head.
Suddenly, Song Nuan realized that she was holding something in her hand, and remembered that she had just gotten up and pulled the corner of Lin Ran’s clothes.
“The room fell silent with a loud thud.
The two of them were stuck in the middle of the sofa and the coffee table, their eyes facing each other, the tips of their noses touching the tips of their noses, the warm air they exhaled, the softness of their mouths, the lightness and fragrance!
The first thought that came to Lin Ran’s mind was “Holy Sh*t! My first kiss, gone!”
Chapter 66
“Ah!”
Under the night, Song Nuan’s scream came from the room, and then all that could be heard was.
“Lin Ran, I’ll kill you! You …. B*****d!”
“Hey! I lost my first kiss too!”
“I bah! Your first kiss? Who cares!”
“You don’t care, someone else does, and you started it, I’m the victim.”
“You …. You, I’ll kill you!”
…….
The night was late, summer was leaving quietly, the night was cool, outside the villa area, a figure kept wandering, he sometimes looked openly inside the villa area, sometimes pacing.
Suddenly, from the corner of the villa area, a large flowered cat burrowed out, this large flowered cat was covered in black fur and hidden in the shadows, so that no one could see it at all.
“Meow!”
The big flowered cat looked at the figure in front of him and purred, and then spat out a black bead.
The figure stepped forward and took it in his hand, his brow furrowed.
“You’ve actually made a defensive formation, you really have a few tricks up your sleeve, let’s walk and see!”
After saying that, the black shadow person quickly disappeared in the same place, and the big flower cat also reappeared into the darkness.
…..
The next morning, Song Nuan went to cla*s as usual, while Lin Ran went to the hospital first, seeing that there was nothing wrong and Li Zheng was good enough to do his job, so he left the hospital directly and went to the Thousand Pill House.
It was not a pharmacy in the traditional sense, but a place similar to Gu Yu Zhai where strange items were traded, except that this place mainly sold medicinal materials, so it was named Thousand Pill Place.
Lin Ran waited at the entrance for a while before catching a ride and rushing to the Thousand Pill Place, this made Lin Ran very helpless, recently the number of places he had to go to started to increase, without a car it was too inconvenient and gradually the intention to get a car sprang up.
“I’ll have time to check it out later!”
Lin Ran thought to himself, now that he was not short of money, it was time to buy a car.
The Thousand Pill Place was located in a very secluded street in the city centre, surrounded by all upscale residential areas, those who could spend money here were all rich enough, so things in this generation were also quite expensive compared to other places.
When he got off the bus, Lin Ran saw the Thousand Pill Shop across the road. It was ten in the morning, but the shop was cold and empty, without a single customer.
“This kind of place is a bit like an antique city, it doesn’t open for three years, it eats three years when it opens!”
Lin Ran smiled and walked in at once.
As soon as he entered the shop, Lin Ran’s gaze was captivated by the various herbs on the surrounding shelves.
“Thousand Leaves, Cold Cold Ice, Mo Qian! There are so many good things!”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but exclaim, he studied Chinese medicine, but on a regular basis, many precious herbs were simply invisible, or at most, he had seen them in books.
In this Thousand Medicine Workshop, there were not only many types of herbs, but also an extremely large number of them, making Lin Ran’s heart envious, how great it would be if he could have such a shop.
Thinking about this, Lin Ran couldn’t help but shake his head, lamenting that he was also a bit worldly, just like friends who liked to eat meat wanted to have their own barbecue with you, and friends who liked to drink wanted to have their own a wine shop, Lin Ran’s love for Chinese medicine definitely came from the bottom of his heart.
“Hey! Hurry up and get out if you’re not buying anything, what are you giggling at!”
Suddenly, an impatient voice came out, interrupting Lin Ran’s thoughts.
Lin Ran looked up and saw that it was a staff member of the shop, dressed in a suit and wearing a sign on his chest that read “After Salesman: Lu Qian”.
“I want to buy something.”
Lin Ran didn’t bother to argue with the other party about his rudeness just now and said.
Lu Qian’s face was full of disdain.
“Want to buy something? Turn right out the door and there is a big pharmacy five hundred metres away.”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but laugh at this, it seemed that the other party was also someone who only looked at the surface, seeing that he was dressed in rags, he didn’t want to deal with them at all, this situation was really not rare these days, he wasn’t angry and said with a smile.
“I need an imperial cold year, you should have one for sale here!”
“What? A strain? Kid did I hear you wrong, or did you say it wrong, do you know how much a strain of imperial cold years is worth?”
Lu Qian had a contemptuous expression on his face, not even bothering to look at Lin Ran, but it still surprised him a little that this guy could say the name of the Imperial Cold Year.
“Just go ahead and take it!”
Lin Ran said, still tackling a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Lu Qian wondered in his heart if he had misread the situation and this kid was actually a big tycoon? Was he just wearing rags on purpose?
He was thinking of taking it out, but Lin Ran had taken out his mobile phone and was taking pictures of the imperial cold years on the display shelf to the side, and when he saw Lin Ran’s mobile phone, Lu Qian couldn’t help but laugh.
The oldest model of the phone, it couldn’t even install software, it was similar to an elderly phone.
“Kid, you’re deliberately teasing me, aren’t you, coming to buy an imperial cold year with a phone like this? Get lost …. Get out! Hurry up and get out, don’t bother me here!”
Lu Qian impatiently urged.
Lin Ran couldn’t help but frown slightly, he had repeatedly refrained from taking him seriously, but this guy didn’t take him seriously at all, which made him a little angry.
“Call out your boss!”
Lin Ran shouted, Lu Qian smelled a little panicked and looked at Lin Ran and said in a cold voice.
“Shout what boss, if you can’t afford it then don’t waste my time here, don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you shout boss, if you can’t afford something then get out of here!”
When the boss was involved, Lu Qian’s voice was a little louder as he fought back.
Li Wansan, who was originally taking stock of the goods in the warehouse, heard the noise outside and walked out.
“What’s going on with Lu Qian?”
Li Wansan came out and asked, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
“Boss, this poor little man has no money, he has to buy something for the cold years, it’s alright I’ll throw him out!”
Lu Qian said and was about to copy the guy and kick him out, Lin Ran saw this and was helpless, reached out and grabbed Lu Qian’s collar directly, and then looked at Li Wansan and said.
“Is this how you serve your customers at the Thousand Medicine Workshop? Do I have the money to buy, you, a fellow, know better than I do!”
Li Wansan frowned slightly when he saw this, the other party was not breathing when he spoke, his face was as normal, he was obviously not an ordinary person, he couldn’t help but also dispel his initial judgement of Lin Ran’s poor appearance, and immediately said with a smile.
“Misunderstanding misunderstanding, you put the man down first, I’ll go and fetch you the imperial cold years, how much do you want?”
Li Wansan asked obediently.
“A complete one!”
Lin Ran said, at the same time throwing Lu Qian onto a sofa to the side, the latter’s face was blue and he was just about to jump out and lash out, when he saw Li Wansan glaring at himself, he swallowed the words that were on his lips alive.
“You have guts, I want to see if you can afford it or not!”
When Li Wansan went to fetch the medicine, Lu Qian took the opportunity to say at Lin Ran.
“Is that so? Then watch carefully!”
Lin Ran didn’t bother to pay him any mind and sat down directly on the sofa, waiting in silence.
Soon Li Wansan came out with a brocade box, which he then placed on the tea table to open it up, and suddenly there was a strain of imperial cold age lying inside!
“A whole strain, fifty thousand in total, cash or credit card?”
Li Wansan asked, he couldn’t see through Lin Ran’s strength, so he simply didn’t bother to get close, whether he was a poor loser or really rich, one test would tell.
Lin Ran’s gaze was attracted by the imperial cold age and was looking at it curiously, without answering, Lu Qian on the side could not help but laugh at the situation.
“What? Gobsmacked? Didn’t you just scream that you wanted to buy a plant? Hearing that you can’t afford to buy one for fifty thousand?”
Lin Ran glanced at Lu Qian, not bothering to pay him any mind, and directly took out a card and threw it to Li Wansan, saying.
“Swipe your card and go ahead, one last thing, this fellow in your shop has a foul mouth, suggest replacing him!”
