Female supporting roles are not cannon fodder

Chapter 6

In the second jar, Lin Lan frowned slightly. It was impossible to say that he didn't care about it, but he cared about such a small matter. How should he deal with other major situations in the future? Thinking of this, Lin Lan's breath stabilized instantly Get up, imitate what Ming Yan did before, and look at the jar with neither sadness nor joy, as if he just opened a wine jar and poured wine for others to drink.

The two who were just sitting and watching Lin Lan looked at each other with a tacit understanding. They could see each other's smiles, and they couldn't put their minds at ease. It would be too difficult to succeed.

Sometimes it’s like this, once you calm down, even if you saw things with anticipation and didn’t feel very happy before, you will truly feel that this is God’s gift to you with a grateful attitude.

And the thing in front of Lin Lan was just like this. Although Ming Yan might not like it, Lin Lan was very happy. It was a bottle of essence.

As we all know, alchemy may be broken when it comes out of the furnace, which is the failure of alchemy; similarly, there is also the same in incense refining, when many flowers and herbs are put into the furnace, the flower juice is boiled a little bit, and it is made by various methods of filtration, extraction, refining, etc. In order to make essential oils, if the formula or any step goes wrong, the components of the essential oils will be destroyed, which will change the color and smell of the essential oils, resulting in defective or even waste products. The point of essence is to stabilize the components of essential oils.

For a perfumer, there is absolutely no shortage of essence, especially high-quality essence. A drop of essence at a critical moment can make all the previous efforts not in vain, and even improve the quality.

Compared with alchemists, the particularity of perfumers lies in the properties of perfume or incense. Pills have various functions, the most basic of which is building foundation pills to improve cultivation, and perfumers also have the ability to soothe the nerves. , but more is reflected in the battlefield.Medicinal pills are mainly produced by oral or smearing, and the medicinal effects are also one-to-one, while incense is only through smell, such as the scent, which will make the opponent feel drowsy after smelling it, resulting in slow action and possible Taking advantage of this opportunity, at the same time, it may have a large-scale medicinal effect. If there is a battle between the two sides, if someone sprinkles a sufficient amount of incense on the opponent's head, then the opponent is basically at the mercy of others. It is also the terror of the alchemist.

Fortunately, this is a bottle of middle-grade fragrance. Generally, only the upper, middle and lower grades are used to order fragrance. Generally, the essential oils of the third grade or above will use some essence. To become a third-grade fragrance refiner, at least they must be in the foundation stage That is to say, Lin Lan estimated that this bottle of essence will be used for a long time, but the validity period of the essence is very long, and it is hundreds of years old, so Lin Lan doesn't have to worry too much about the expiration date.

"This is really suitable for you." Ming Yan smiled slightly when he saw that it was some fragrance. In any case, a bottle of fragrance is enough for Lin Lan to recoup the cost, not to mention that she is still a member of Xiangzong. Ming Yan would not say anything, because outer disciples have no chance to learn incense refining, not because they don't want them to learn, but because many incense refining needs to be supported by cultivation, but Lin Lan can step into Qi refining within three months In the early stage, it was a certainty for her to enter the inner sect, and Ming Yan believed that Lin Lan's cultivation would never stop at the Qi refining stage.

Lin Lan's eyes were full of joy and gratitude. She was very grateful for what she had done in the past few days. Although she had always been patient in the face of Dai Ran, she knew that the kind of thing that robbed others of their fortune was useless. Ya Yu committed suicide, even if Dai Ran knew about the treasures in the book, she might get them, but she could only get what was mentioned in the book, and she would get nothing in the end, and it was destined to be hers, even if Dai Ran Ran snatched, there will still be new opportunities to come to her.

Ming Yan, who was sitting next to her, was still smiling like a spring breeze. The free and erratic atmosphere on his body was his unique charm. Lin Lan looked at him, smiling more and more contentedly. Like a child who received a gift, but in a corner she didn't see, Ming Yan looked at her with a bit of haze.

"It seems that it is right for me to join the Fragrance Sect. The heavens have always favored me." Lin Lan happily shared it with Ming Yan, as if it was the grace of the heavens to get such things. The shopkeeper walked away knowingly at this time, There are also many things to be busy with.

For Lin Lan, in her eyes, ordering fragrance is not just as simple as ordering fragrance, but a proof that she has obtained a new opportunity. Not fighting or grabbing is because she obeyed the scriptwriter and acted obediently. There is also a factor that she does not want to cause trouble. , but is it true that as the screenwriter said, she can have new opportunities but only physical proof can be considered reassuring, so Lin Lan is really grateful and happy at this moment, choosing the right path for herself.

Her joy made Ming Yan's tightly locked brows more and more tangled. Although he didn't want to pour cold water on him, but thinking of what might happen in the future, he still wrote lightly on the surface: "Why didn't you impress the heavens with your excellence? I think you are very good." .”

What?Lin Lan was confused by Ming Yan's words, she was still intoxicated by the joy of getting some fragrance, she never thought that Ming Yan would say such a thing, did not think about the difference between Ming Yan's words and hers, only heard Ming Yan complimenting her Excellent, looked at Ming Yan with some surprise, and said: "I didn't expect that you, the young master, would praise others one day. I'm really flattered."

The teasing in Lin Lan's eyes and Shang Mingyan's seriousness immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Then how about using this bottle of essence as a reward?" Ming Yan looked directly at Lin Lan, unable to let her pass by.

Lin Lan was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't know why Ming Yan was so kind to her, it wasn't the reason why he suddenly said such a thing, and it was a little fragrance that she thought had special meaning.

"How? You don't want to? Do you think that with your cultivation level, you can still refuse me when you meet me at the Foundation Establishment Stage?" Ming Yan looked at her, without the loose feeling in his eyes before, and he didn't reach out. Just a wind spell, and some fragrance in Lin Lan's hand floated into his hands, making Lin Lan clearly understand the difference in strength.

Lin Lan stared at him blankly, as if she still didn't want to believe it, "Why? Why did you do this?"

Ming Yan sneered and looked directly at her, "When you got some fragrance, you thought it was a gift from God, so why don't you think it's God's will when I take it away now?"

Lin Lan's eyes flickered for a moment, and she no longer focused on Ming Yan's snatching of some essence. She already understood that Ming Yan had discovered something and wanted to wake her up, but was it her attitude?
She didn't answer, Ming Yan continued to say indifferently: "Maybe it's me today, and it may be someone else tomorrow. When you get something, you think it's a gift from God every time. What about your dignity? Don't you think Are these things that you can only get when God gives you alms? If you get something with such alms, will you take it for granted if you lose it one day? What are you inferior to? Why don’t you go to a silk shop to customize clothes? Similarly, how about using your excellence to make the designer willing to tailor it for you?"

Ming Yan looked at her with a bit of anger, looked at her dumbfounded appearance, and sighed: "If you have the so-called mentality of letting nature take its course and not fighting, then you should not enter the inner sect." Well, the world of cultivation is like this, there are many people with few meat, if you don’t try your best to show your excellence, no one will favor you.”

Maybe Lin Lan's philistine mentality of going with the flow may be able to be an ordinary person in the 21st century, just like being robbed by Hong Yan before, she didn't dare to speak to the director, maybe it's just like this There is a female supporting role, but she will never be the heroine, and there is no book heroine who lives in a dawdling manner.If Lin Lan is willing to accept that being mediocre in modern times is the end, then the end in the cultivation world is a dead end, and no one will sympathize with you.

Just like the models on the runway, you have to show your confidence and style, and the designer will be willing to tailor clothes for you.

She always thinks she is lazy and uses laziness as an excuse, but she can't cover up the truth she wants to escape. Traveling to the world of cultivation is definitely not a good thing to win the lottery. To survive, there is only constant struggle and competition.

Lin Lan's eyes gradually became no longer empty, and her expression gathered little by little. I have to say that Hong Yan is more successful than her in this regard. Hong Yan is a queen actress and is used to acting as a heroine. It would be hard for her to learn to keep a low profile. Impossible, but a person like Lin Lan who has low self-esteem is always restraining her brilliance. She even thought about not practicing for the time being, so as not to be too eye-catching when entering the inner door after three months, but she didn't know that trouble is sometimes a This kind of opportunity can never be escaped.

"I see." Lin Lan looked at Ming Yan with a little more smile, confident and elegant, if you are in full bloom, the breeze will come naturally, although she really can't do it like Dai Ran is now as flamboyant, but at least she Can no longer think that everything she has now is alms from the sky, she is not a beggar, and she does not want to be anyone's supporting role.

Ming Yan finally smiled, his eyes returned to the frivolousness before, and he frowned and said: "I really can't trust your credit, this bottle is on my young master's side first."

Obviously because she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on to this thing now, Lin Lan smiled inwardly, but her face still looked like I can't trust you, and deliberately pretended to be suspicious: "You won't wait until the expiration date to return it?"

Ming Yan hiccupped, then narrowed his eyes slightly to stare at Lin Lan, and said, "After what you say, I really don't want to pay it back."

Even if this guy pretends to be like this, Lin Lan, who is familiar with his nature, is not worried at all, but he can play with him with a look of shock on his face.

At the same time, at the stall, Dai Ran was playing with the Linglong buckle, but she didn't put it in the medicine bag. She looked around, but she didn't see Lin Lan. She smiled in her heart, and she was indeed the only heroine.

The smile on her face became brighter and she pretended to look innocently at Mo Xiao beside her. The corners of her eyes that she thought were pure showed a bit of charm. She leaned against him intimately, holding his hand and said, "Brother Mo Xiao , the street is so lively, shall we continue shopping?"

The corners of Mo Xiao's mouth were pampered as always, and he nodded, watching Dai Ran pretending to be excited and looking at the stall, with disgusting greed in his eyes, Mo Xiao's smile became more tender, but his eyes were as calm as water, praying mantis catching cicadas With the oriole behind, it is not certain who is the one who was cheated.

Looking at the blue sky above his head, what appeared in his mind was a peaceful face. His right hand couldn't help stroking the space ring on his left hand. Inside a gift box tied with a ribbon, a pair of jade pendants were quietly lying down.

When the sky was getting dark, the crowd was getting more and more crowded. Dai Ran was clinging to Mo Xiao's body almost with her whole body, but her eyes were extremely innocent, as if she didn't understand anything, which made Mo Xiao's gentle eyes a little more contemptuous.

On the street where people come and go, one pair goes forward and one pair goes back. In the crowded crowd, the two sides look at each other and smile at each other as if nothing happened.

A passing by, an extremely simple encounter, made Dai Ran's originally excited mood gloomy, she slowly closed her eyes, and could still feel Lin Lan's aura. It's time to get angry, even if the opportunity is robbed, Lin Lan still follows the script?
Thinking of this, the ambition in her eyes is burning like a flame, she will never let Lin Lan have the opportunity to catch up, whether it is at the beginning or in the future, it seems that she has to step up and grab all the opportunities.

She lowered her eyes, not letting the fire in her eyes show, Gu Ruo said indifferently: "Brother Mo Xiao, how about going to the library with me tomorrow?"
