I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Brown stone walls, red floor tiles, Xuanjing Dan furnace, chalky quartz water tank, medicine table, barite stovetop...

This is the alchemy room specially prepared by the Ye family for Luo Wenzhou. Looking at Ye Fan looking around, Luo Wenzhou said, "Ye Fan."

"Yes." Ye Fan turned around and bowed his hands to Luo Wenzhou.

"Before I diagnose you, I have two things to tell you."

Seeing Mr. Lin's sudden serious expression, Ye Fan was startled, and after a while he responded, "Sir, please speak."

"The first thing, in fact, Mr. Song and I, including brother Qing Ce, are here for you."

"Ah I?"

Ye Fan was stunned by this huge amount of information. Whether it was Mr. Lin, Mr. Song, or Wu Qingce, who was serving as their coach temporarily, these three were the most popular figures in the Ye family.

Although they were all young, even Grandpa didn't mean to despise them and respected their every opinion very much.

'These three heroes... all came for me! ? ’

Lin Fan suddenly felt that he had been selected, and an indescribable excitement grew in his heart, as if some shackles were about to be shattered.

Opening his mouth, Lin Fan wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start. The king Luo Wenzhou could only be stunned. After all, this news came too suddenly, and the amount of information was too large.

Seeing that Ye Fan was shocked, Luo Wenzhou continued: "Second thing, I can help you find your lost cultivation talent."

If the previous sentence only made Ye Fan a little surprised, then this sentence made him like a lightning strike.

He couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart any longer, and he jumped up and grabbed Luo Wenzhou's arms and said, "Sir, what you said is sincere!?"

Luo Wenzhou smiled slightly: "I'll tell you these things, so naturally I'm quite sure."

"Please sir, save me!"

Ye Fan immediately knelt on the ground. He had waited for three years, and he had been waiting for such an opportunity! He can give everything for this.

Reaching out to help Ye Fan, Luo Wenzhou patted him on the shoulder and told him, "I'll give you three days, and I want you to give me an answer in three days."

"Answer?" Ye Fan was taken aback, "What answer?"

"What will you do when you get the power?"

After Luo Wenzhou finished speaking, he walked out of the alchemy room, leaving Ye Fan alone in deep thought.

Looking back at Ye Fan's stunned expression, Luo Wenzhou couldn't help remembering the scene when Master tested him, almost exactly the same.

Not noticing Luo Wenzhou's turning back, Ye Fan's mind kept echoing that question at this moment.

'After gaining power...what will I do? ’

Ye Fan didn't know why Mr. Lin asked him this question, but he knew that this question was very important, and it was about whether he could seize this hard-won opportunity.

Ye Fan firmly believed that the answer must not be figured out by himself. Mr. Lin must have hidden the answer somewhere, waiting for him to find it.

And those who are most likely to know the answer... must include Mr. Lin and the three heroes.

'I must find the answer! ’

Ye Fan swore in his heart, and walked out of the alchemy room.

When practicing in the afternoon, as a "special" instructor, Wu Qingce was teaching his cultivation skills to the disciples of the Ye family.

Although Wu Qingce really wanted to say that the skill to become stronger is to have a god-man who can help you in all aspects like a senior brother, but he couldn't say it, so he could only think of what his senior brother usually said when he reprimanded him.

"If you want to become stronger, you have to think more."

Pointing to his head, Wu Qingce continued: "Cultivation is not something that can be achieved by brute force and hard work alone, you must learn to think and think about the purpose of this practice for you to practice this way, rather than blindly following it. ."

"Oh~"

After hearing this, the disciples of the Ye family nodded their heads suddenly, although they didn't quite understand the meaning of Wu Qingce's words, they sounded very powerful.

Ye Fan listened very seriously and took every word of Coach Wu seriously in his heart, hoping to find the answer he needed in these few words.

When the free time began, Ye Fan suddenly heard the two cousins ​​behind him discussing, "Hey, I heard something yesterday, which is related to Coach Wu."

"Oh? What's the matter? Come and listen."

"Hey~" The man sold out, "I finally found out this news."

"Okay, I will treat you to Taoju Inn tonight."

"Changliang~ The shopkeeper Liu, who specializes in administering the Fengzhou side, came back two days ago. As soon as he heard that Teacher Wu was here, he immediately said that this is the most popular young cultivator in Fengzhou this year."

"Why?" the man next to him asked cooperatively.

"It is said that the strongest Occult Moon Sect in Fengzhou held a Yingjie Youth Meeting and invited all the young cultivators in Fengzhou who were not the weakest to join the competition. In the end, guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

"In this kind of competition full of the best of the best, Coach Wu was able to come out on top! Seriously, a genius of the world."

"So powerful!? Doesn't that mean that Coach Wu is the strongest young cultivator in Fengzhou?"

"Yeah, that's not what I meant."

"Then, while Coach Wu is still around, we can learn more from him. In the future, even if we are not the No. 1 powerhouse in Lanzhou, we can be No. 2 and No. 3."

"I mean, go, go, go."

looking at two

The cousin was chasing Coach Wu, and Ye Fan's heart was also very shocked at this moment.

Because Wu Qingce is a disciple of the Guixin Sect, Ye Fan has always wanted to see him, but now he has slowly climbed out of the world full of resentment and hatred, and he has become much more rational when dealing with people and thinking about problems.

When the screen called "hatred" disappeared, Ye Fan realized even more that this coach Wu was really strong, the first person in Fengzhou, this was the only honor in the whole state, and he couldn't touch it at all. unimaginable.

And such a person was actually here specially for him.

‘Could it be that I also have the opportunity to become as powerful as Coach Wu…’

When this thought arises, the feeling of breaking some shackles reappears.

This time, Ye Fan understood, this is his long-silent **! Want to become stronger **!

When the training time was over, Ye Fan found Wu Qingce.

"Teacher Wu, I...I have a question to ask you."

Looking at Ye Fan who came to him for the first time, Wu Qingce found that his eyes became much clearer, and the expression on his face that the whole world owed him money had disappeared.

"Go around town and we'll talk as we go."

"it is good."

Following Wu Qingce to the streets of Jiyuan Town, Lin Fan opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know how to ask.

"I used to be just like you."

Hearing Wu Qingce's sudden opening, Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Teacher, you mean...?"

"As weak as you are, and as weak as you think you will be alone against the world."

"I..." Ye Fan wanted to explain a few words, but found that Wu Qingce was right, since he lost his talent for cultivation, he has always been in this state of mind.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Fan asked, "Then what is your current thinking, Coach Wu?"

Wu Qingce turned his head and replied, "That's my answer, and now what you need to find is your own answer."

After finishing speaking, Wu Qingce stopped and bought two pieces of dragon beard cakes at the stall next to him. After giving one to Ye Fan, he said, "Think slowly, I believe you will find the answer just like me."

After speaking, he patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, waved his hand and left.

Looking at Ye Fan's disappearing back, Ye Fan put the dragon beard cake in his hand into his mouth.

The taste of the Dragon Beard Crisp is clear, and it is delivered right after the entrance, and the aftertaste is a burst of sweetness.

Suddenly, Ye Fan realized.

'Teacher Wu is telling me the truth of hardships and hardships through Longxusu! ’

Suddenly, Ye Fan felt that his final dragon beard cake was getting sweeter.

Just when Ye Fan was about to buy two more pieces of dragon beard cake, he turned his head and found that he had arrived in front of the Taoju Inn at some point.

Thinking that Mr. Song was inside, Ye Fan immediately realized that Coach Wu must have brought him here on purpose.

After thanking Coach Wu in his heart, Ye Fan turned around and walked towards the Taoju Inn.

Watching Ye Fan walk into the inn, Wu Qingce, who was hiding not far away, took out a note from the bag and carefully compared it again.

'Well, the lines are correct, so there should be no problem. ’

This is the first time Ye Fan has come to Taoju Inn, because he spends all his time on cultivation. Although the speed of cultivation is very slow, it is precisely because of this slowness that he needs to diligently Make up for it, otherwise he will really only be a waste of life.

As a Ye family member, Ye Fan still had some privileges. He didn't need to line up outside. After saying his name, he was welcomed into the lobby by Xiao Er.

After ordering a pot of welcome spring wine, Ye Fan began to look for the figure of Boss Song.

"Brother Shen, my red flame grass grows much faster than yours."

"What's the use, the color of your red flame grass is obviously not as bright as mine."

"Why are you not as bright as you? It's clearly red, even redder than the face of the Hua Kui Piaoxiang Lou, and I will definitely make a good pill in the future."

...

Listening to the discussions of the people at the window, Ye Fan also leaned over to take a look, and found that there were dozens of red flame grasses planted next to the inn, and each one had a name written in front of it, and these names were even his own. People who don't care much about current affairs have heard of celebrities.

At this moment, Ye Fan seemed to suddenly understand why this Taoju Inn could become a stop for major families in a short period of time.

"Hello, Boss Song."

"Boss Song, come over for a drink."

"Boss Song, these are a few calligraphy and paintings I bought recently. Please help with your palms and eyes."

"Boss Song, the way you taught me last time is amazing! This is a thank you gift, please don't be polite to me."

"Boss Song, you have to help me this time, or I won't be able to open this theater."

...

As soon as he sat back to his seat, Ye Fan suddenly heard a constant greeting in his ear. Looking up, he saw Mr. Song walking down the second floor slowly, and many guests who were drinking were gathered around.

'It seems that Mr. Song is not only well-known in my Ye family, even if he looks at the entire Jiyuan Town, he is also popular. ’

Ye Fan just watched Mr. Song calmly deal with every prominent person in Jiyuan Town. It can be said that everyone came here with joy and returned satisfied.

"Boss Yan, I looked pretty good in the first two days of your theater business. What's wrong?"

Boss Yan shook his hands and sighed: "Hey, a few days ago it was all about making a profit at a loss. These days, as soon as the ticket money was collected, no one came immediately, what a shame.

Search hard. "

Gu Qinghuan smiled and said, "When I went to the theater last time, I tasted the fried peanuts in your building. It was really good."

"Peanuts?" Boss Yan was stunned for a moment: "If Boss Song likes to eat it, the couple will bring you more when I go back."

After listening, Gu Qinghuan shook his head: "No, I mean, Boss Yan, your peanuts can be of great use."

"How to say?"

"Boss Yan, when you go back now, put up a sign, and it says that everyone who buys tickets will get a plate of peanuts, and others will go around to publicize and publicize."

"Ah?" Boss Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "This... I don't have a lot of profit here, and I have few guests, and I even send things? Then I really can't go on in this theater."

Gu Qing shook his head with a smile, and said, "Boss Yan will know after a try. If it doesn't work, someone in Song will take care of tomorrow's play."

"What are you talking about, Boss Song, I can't believe you can't do it, okay! I'll go back and do it now. Thank you!"

When Boss Yan left, Gu Qinghuan sat down on Ye Fan's table and poured himself a glass of wine.

Ye Fan, who had been listening in, couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Song, is the idea you gave to the theater owner really useful?"

After taking a sip of wine, Gu Qinghuan replied, "If you are interested, you can go and see for yourself at night."

"Okay, I will definitely go." After speaking, Ye Fan said, "Mr. Song, I also have something I want to ask."

"What's the matter?"

"I..." Ye Fan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to ask the question.

Poured himself another glass of wine, Gu Qinghuan looked at Ye Fan who was hesitant to say anything and asked, "What do you think is power?"

"What is power?" Ye Fan chewed this sentence and tried to answer: "High enough cultivation?"

"Can't you be called a strong man without cultivation?"

"It's not... it's not."

After drinking the second glass of wine, Gu Qinghuan stood up and said, "Follow this line of thought, and think about it again."

After saying that, he left.

Seeing Mr. Jiang leave, Gu Qinghuan's heart jumped again.

Whether it is Mr. Jiang, Mr. Lin, or Teacher Wu, these three can be said to perfectly fit the image of a master in Ye Fan's mind.

"It's not... it's not."

After drinking the second glass of wine, Gu Qinghuan stood up and said, "Follow this line of thought, and think about it again."

After saying that, he left.

Seeing Mr. Jiang leave, Gu Qinghuan's heart jumped again.

Whether it is Mr. Jiang, Mr. Lin, or Teacher Wu, these three can be said to perfectly fit the image of a master in Ye Fan's mind. After drinking the second glass of wine, Gu Qinghuan stood up and said, "Follow this line of thought, and think about it again."

After saying that, he left. After drinking the two glasses of wine, Gu Qinghuan stood up and said, "Follow this line of thought, and think about it again."

After saying that, he left.
