Chapter 401 Members of the Qinghong Ranking [For gifts, for monthly tickets]
Pang Hou only thought that Lin Fan had brains and talent in alchemy, but there were people behind him. He didn't expect Lin Fan's fighting talent to be so high, and the existence of Tianjiao level.
What Pang Hou couldn't figure out was why Lin Fan would be an ordinary tutor in Qinghong Academy.
Of course, he also knew that this was not what he should ask.
"Teacher Lin, what is your order?" Pang Hou said cautiously.
"Don't be so restrained!"
Lin Fan smiled and said something. Seeing that Pang Hou still looked like this, he didn't say anything. He directly explained his purpose and said, "I need a second-grade pill recipe. But sell the high-priced one, the one the market needs.”
Pang Hou's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Can you refine the second-grade medicine pill?"
"Ah."
Lin Fan casually took out the second-grade Bigu Pill that he had refined. It was just an ordinary one. He didn't take out the Vein Pill, and said at the same time, "Also, prepare some more for me, and I will take it with me!"
Pang Hou hurriedly opened the jade bottle and poured it out carefully. It turned out to be a second-grade bigu pill. The condition was very good. The ecstasy on his face could not be concealed. Clients, and they are all practitioners of the immortal realm, and they may even attract practitioners of the immortal realm.
The main product of his shop is the Lie Chundan provided by Lin Fan, but after all, Lie Chundan is a first-grade medicine pill, and it is a bedding supplement, so those are the buying groups.
But now that Lin Fan has started to provide second-grade medicinal herbs, it means that Baicaoyuan's customer level is also improving.
"Good! No problem!"
Pang Hou said quickly: "Although the second-grade pill formula is very rare on the market, I still have hope that I can get it. No, I will definitely get it." At first, he said that it was very rare, but immediately felt something was not right. This not only It was just looking for an elixir for Lin Fan, and it was closely related to the Baicao Garden. It provided a second-grade pill, and the Baicao Garden would also have another second-grade elixir that could be supplied in large quantities.
Although Lin Fan's requirements are very high, it is not an ordinary second-grade pill recipe, but the more it is, the more suitable for the market, just like Lie Chundan.
Lin Fan quickly left and took fifty copies of the second-grade Bigu Pill with him.
On the way back, Lin Fan found that many rainbow shadows in the sky descended from the sky and landed in various parts of the academy. His eyes turned golden. The rainbow shadows who could not see clearly were young cultivators, with a dusty look on their faces, mixed with He looked tired, as if he had traveled a lot. Lin Fan just glanced curiously at this scene, but he didn't care.
At the northeastern end of the Wei Kingdom, in a ravine with horns, there was a sudden fluctuation in the space.
The next moment, a figure covered in scars emerged from the sky. The scars were crisscrossed, and many of the wounds were deep in the internal organs. He was still holding a broken sword tightly in his hand. time, stabilized.
When he stood on the ground, he sat on a large rock next to him, panting heavily, blood was still flowing from many wounds on his body, and the breath on his body plummeted.
"Damn! What kind of ghostly realm is this?" The figure scolded, and in the next instant, a bottle of medicinal pill appeared in his hand, and fell into his hand crazily. Immediately, bursts of energy fluctuations erupted, and soon the wound on the body stopped bleeding, and the sluggish breath was much better, and it was slowly recovering.
Although there was a helpless emotion on his face, from the beginning to the end, there were no emotional fluctuations in those eyes, and there was an indescribable stoic temperament.
Put away the broken sword, got up and took off the clothes on the body, took out some water to wash the body, and then took out a new suit of clothes on the boat, and did not leave, but took out a mirror-like thing, input energy , suddenly a lot of information appeared on it, and it was the information that others sent a message to leave a message on it.
As if seeing a piece of interesting news, the figure looked at it with interest, and muttered to himself: "Huh? There is a new mentor in the academy, who can teach me? There is still a class of [-] people? A cultivator of supernatural power, so strong? Where did the academy come from such a genius? Interesting! I just want to go back, so go check it out!"
Stand up, quickly clean the place, clean up the remaining blood and breath, be cautious and careful, and leave a unique mark at the same time, a new standard sword appeared in his hand, and then threw it, and immediately stepped on the sword. OK, turned into a long rainbow and disappeared in place. After a long journey, it is natural to find the nearest large teleportation array.
At the same time, similar figures appeared in various places in Wei State, and they rushed back to Qinghong Academy when they got the news.
And this night, on the way back to Qinghong Academy, galloping figures appeared one after another. These figures were powerful and sharp-edged. Many people greeted each other happily, and many people knew each other.
Long-distance teleportation requires the use of fixed teleportation arrays, but in the same way, there is also a need to fly in the middle. Many people are rushing to the road while chatting.
The next day, in the morning.
Qinghong Academy, the task hall, where students can take some individual or group tasks and go out to experience.
Of course, there is another function here, that is, you can come and choose courses.
When there is a new tutor to update the timetable, students can get the news here as soon as possible.
Usually, although the mission hall is not deserted, it is definitely not crowded.
Today, the mission hall is packed together, almost crowded, and these people look expectantly, everyone is talking to each other, today's mission hall is full of people, and everyone who knows each other is whispering.
As time passed, it was almost noon, and the number of people did not decrease, but was gradually increasing.
Among this group of people, there are not only Tong You and the other students of the same level, that is, students who are taking the assessment together, but also students who are not of the same level, and there are more senior students who are out for experience or are rushing back.
In this wave, Tong You and the others made a comeback against the wind and became famous. In addition, yesterday Lin Fan directly killed the cultivator with the nine-door cultivation base, and even bluntly rejected any power, which instantly made Lin Fan's reputation reach An incredible degree.
Of course, it was also related to the fact that the beheaded Divine Ability Realm was Ji Ming's bodyguard, which was related to the Wei royal family, and also meant that the Divine Ability Realm beheaded by Lin Fan was definitely not a sham.
This is a very low-key mentor, but also a very crazy mentor!
It's very low-key, because almost no one can visit Lin Fan, and they can't meet at all. Even if someone wants to give gifts, they can't find anyone. You can find other mentors. There is no mentor and Lin Fan who want to be familiar with each other. Song Zijin who said these words was approached by many people, but he couldn't do anything. He didn't dare to disturb Lin Fan easily.
As for the other mentors, Lin Fan didn't know each other well. After all, they didn't participate in any mentor activities.
Whether you want to match up or join Lin Fan's course, there is only one way to go, so go and sign up yourself.
In fact, many people found Tong You and the others, but Tong You and the others knew about Lin Fan's selection criteria.
When Lin Fan selected students, he personally screened them and asked questions. Those who were unqualified were rejected. No one knew the standards. Many questions were different.
It even sounds like a family problem to many.
Like Luo Feng, Shi Zimo, Yan Cang, the family behind them also specially brought them back. They wanted to contact Lin Fan through the students, and they wanted to send the other children of the family to Lin Fan's door, but this way was not feasible, because Lin Fan had already told them that to become his student, he had to sign up honestly.
Therefore, Lin Fan was famous in Qinghong Academy, and he was also famous in the students' families, but at the same time, his 'weird' character was also famous.
Can't get through the back door!
It doesn't seem like there's anything to talk about!
You won't be able to see it anyway!
It was fine that Lin Fan was low-key before, but now that everyone knows it, they only feel that Lin Fan's behavior is very unusual. Of course, there are also many people who say that Lin Fan's behavior is the most honest.
And no one knew that Lin Fan had too many things to do, how could he care about these ineffective social interactions.
These so-called contacts, in his opinion, are all invalid social interactions, which are naturally rejected by him.
Many of the veteran students who came back this wave are all nine-door cultivators.
In Qinghong Academy, students can graduate from the Nine Gates according to the principle!
However, this is not a hard and fast rule. As long as you still pay the tuition, as long as you do not attend the graduation ceremony, you are still a student of Qinghong Academy. However, these students are basically trained outside, some are arranged by the family, some are It's to go out and practice on your own.
Hanging a student of Qinghong Academy is still a lot of convenience and can be protected. Outside, the name of Qinghong Academy is more useful than the name of their family.
And this time, because of Lin Fan's matter, many of these veteran students rushed back.
You see, the benefits of not graduating are reflected.
This is their chance!
Logically speaking, they can also join Lin Fan's class and have this learning opportunity!
Sword intent!
That is sword intent!
You can let them fight against talented students, or learn to be comparable to the existence of talented students.
Who doesn't want to learn?
This is not only an opportunity for the students in Qinghong Academy, but also an opportunity for them to rise.
And today is the day when Lin Fan's new course was released, and everyone in the mission hall came to pay attention to the latest news.
Ji Liangce and Yuan Zhu also came. Of course, many people didn't come. After all, they practiced swordsmanship, and Lin Fan taught swordsmanship. The key is that many people are unwilling to come, such as Wan Feng and Fang Zuo, They didn't want to become Lin Fan's students after being scolded like that at the time, and they might even have to look at Tong You and the others, so it's better to practice on their own.
As for Ji Liangce and Yuan Zhu, they were just looking at them and joining in the fun.
However, they were also shocked when they saw this scene. There were too many people. The most important thing was that they sensed a lot of people who were stronger than them. They were seniors who came back from outside. Come to rest.
Suddenly, a group of people came, not together, but separately, wearing feather coats, wearing star crowns, each with a dignified appearance, completely different from ordinary students, exuding an incomparably confident atmosphere, Even in the crowd, it is so conspicuous.
At the same time, the crowd, which was already crowded, automatically parted ways, and everyone's eyes were filled with envy and respect.
The courtiers revered the emperor and succumbed to the power; while the students treated several people, it was because of absolute power.
At the same time, there was a gasp of air in the crowd of students.
"Hey~ isn't that Jing Luo, the tenth genius student in the Qinghong Ranking?"
"Damn it! Isn't that Jiang Lifu, the third talented student on the Qinghong Ranking List? He hasn't graduated yet, I thought he did!"
"That's Ding Jie, the fifth talented student in the Qinghong Ranking!"
"Zhong Haoyan, the second talented student on the Qinghong Ranking!"
"The eighth song North of the Qinghong Ranking is also here!"
The Qinghong Ranking is a list of talented students of Qinghong Academy. The students who can get on the list are famous, even in Wei State, and this reputation is not false, but has passed through the four major academies. Contests among students stand out in the presence of.
Every year, the four major academies have a competition among the students to obtain resources and become famous at the same time.
And there are only ten people in the Qinghong Ranking of Qinghong Academy, and the top ten students are the strongest!
Similarly, the other three major academies also have similar lists, and they are also ten people!
The list of the four major academies, ten people, are called the geniuses closest to Tianjiao.
These ten people are basically not in the academy. Even if they go back to the academy, they are in retreat and practice, which is very mysterious.
But today, five people came all of a sudden, half of them came directly.
What a good guy!
How can you not surprise other students?
It got everyone whispering.
The five people were like walking in a leisurely courtyard. They didn't see so many crowds at the scene, or they didn't care at all. Among the five people's eyes, only five of them met and nodded to each other.
"Yo~ Lao Jiang, Lao Ding, Lao Qu, even Lao Zhong is here! What a coincidence!" Jing Luo waved his fan, established a sound transmission channel, and greeted him with a smiley face.
There are always one or two stupid dicks in every circle, but his popularity is still very good, such as Jing Luo, who is the stupid dick in the Qinghong list. Everyone has a good relationship with him, and this guy is also very shameless.
"Ah!"
"Fuck off!"
"unfortunately!"
"Ah."
The four answered, only Zhong Haoyan had a better attitude, the other three were not very good.
But what about Jing Luo?
He still came up with a smiley face, no unhappy expression at all, and even teased: "Yo~ What? Why are you looking like you lost thousands of star jade? The family is bankrupt? Or is the realm stuck? ? It feels like life is not going well."
Look, this kind of idiot, when his shameless face sticks to his cold ass, not only does he not get angry, but he continues to be provocative, and his mouth is very bad.
"Jing Luo, your skin is itchy again?"
"Believe it or not, I made your life difficult for you next?"
"Are you looking for death?"
