I'm the protagonist's dad, but the heroines want to kill me

The old man in the robe waved his hand and told the injured man to go back and rest for a while. He then came to Lin Ran and said, "Sir, may I ask your name? Are you a guest official from which faction?"

"My name is Cao Mengde. My wife and I are both idle people. We heard about the Dancheng auction and came here specially to see the world!" Lin Ran said lightly.

When the old man heard Lin Ran's name, his eyes flickered a little, and then with a respectful smile on his face, he took out a waist badge engraved with the emblem of the Medicine King Sect from his space ring, handed it to Lin Ran, and said with a smile: "Senior Cao Mengde, since you are participating in the auction jointly organized by our Medicine King Sect, I will give you a convenience here. With this waist badge, you can directly enter our auction.

Besides, Dan City is too busy right now, and it may be difficult to find a place to stay. With this badge, you and your wife can go to the place specially prepared for the strong men in our Yaowang Sect. As long as you go to our 'Luomae Pavilion', someone will naturally arrange accommodation for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran took the badge and thanked him. The old man respectfully watched Lin Ran enter the city. He saw the two of them rush into the crowded crowd in Dan City and disappeared.

Such a scene made the onlookers who wanted to laugh at Lin Ran and the others dare not say a word. Even the alchemist of Yaowang Sect had to treat them with respect. Fortunately, they had not said anything too extreme before, otherwise they would have lost their heads.

The old alchemist stroked his white beard and called a follower from the Medicine King Sect. He whispered, "This Cao Mengde and her wife are both very powerful. I guess they may be strong men in the advanced realm of Nirvana. Report this news back to the elder in charge of security.

Let them check the background of these two people. The situation in Dan City is complicated now. If something goes wrong, you and I will lose our lives. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Elder!" the follower replied respectfully, and immediately turned around and quickly went back to Yaowang Sect to report.

Watching his followers leave, the old man in long robes muttered to himself: "Cao Mengde? Is there such a person in our dangerous triangle area? What a mysterious guy, could he be the group that recently took down the Yin Yang Cave Heaven lair?"

However, in his opinion, even that group of people are not qualified to influence this auction jointly held by the three forces. The higher-ups attach great importance to this auction. If someone really makes trouble, the powerful dragon-transforming masters from all forces will have to come out to clear the place.

……

Lin Ran and the others entered Dan City and looked at the crowds of people on the wide streets. There were more people than he had imagined. He couldn't help but say, "There are so many people coming here!"

"Then senior, shall we do the same as before?" Wen Qianyi put her arm around Lin Ran and asked softly.

Lin Ran nodded and said, "Of course, let's go to those large pharmacies first, and then go to Luofeng Pavilion to take a look!"

All kinds of strange things can be seen in the Dangerous Triangle. Maybe they can find the Ghostly Face Flower that they have been missing for a long time here. After all, this is a city built by the alchemist forces, so there must be many treasures.

The shops throughout Dan City were bustling with people. The huge flow of people attracted by this auction also brought huge profits to the shops in Dan City.

When seeing some large pharmacies, Wen Qianyi would pull Lin Ran in, and sometimes ask the people in the store where the better medicinal materials are. When she found one she liked, she would bargain for the price and successfully buy it. It felt like she was bargaining for vegetables in the market.

Wen Qianyi is a sixth-rank alchemy master, of which there are only a few in the entire Jiezhou. In Jiezhou, Comrade Qianyi is also a well-known figure. Many forces have tried to win her over before, but her home is Linghua Academy, so she chose not to leave.

Naturally, she had a keen eye and was very discerning. She often discovered some rare and valuable things that no one cared about, just like finding a real antique treasure at an antique market. She would then excitedly hug Lin Ran for a long while.

Of course, Lin Ran had no idea what this medicinal ingredient was or what effects it had, but he had a more intuitive feeling about the level of the pill that could be refined.

For example, Qianyi has been collecting medicinal materials for refining the "Dragon Breaking Pill", which is a pill that can help break through the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Breaking through the Dragon Transformation Realm is also a high-risk event, because one thing to do in the Dragon Transformation Realm is to open up the entire spine from the coccyx to the cervical vertebrae. The more you open up, the stronger you will be, and the higher the limit of your body and lifespan that you can break through.

But the foundation laid at the beginning is very important, which is to forge a strong enough physical foundation and engrave one's own Tao into it. Only in this way can one reach a higher level in the future.

Of course, the reason why it is said to be high-risk is that it is possible that when the spine is opened up, the body cannot bear it, or the spiritual power is not properly controlled, or one's own strength is too strong and one kills oneself.

The effect of the Dragon Breaking Pill is that it allows you to open up your spine without any worries, provides you with vital medicinal protection, and can also nourish and strengthen your body. Therefore, when breaking through the Dragon Transformation Realm, this pill is what many people dream of. They are afraid of killing themselves by accident, so getting one can put their mind at ease.

But unfortunately, this is a seventh-grade elixir, and the medicinal materials are extremely rare. Wen Qianyi has only managed to find all the auxiliary medicinal materials, and has not found any of the main medicines.

Moreover, Wen Qianyi specifically asked her sister about the dangers and precautions of breaking through to the Dragon Transformation Realm. After learning the details, she became more and more afraid, fearing that something might happen to Lin Ran during his breakthrough to the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Now she asked Lin Ran to practice his body diligently every day, to lay a solid physical foundation first and to achieve perfection. By the time Lin Ran broke through the Dragon Transformation Realm, she would be able to refine the Dragon Breaking Pill. It would be much safer to take two approaches at the same time.

They walked around for a long time and finally arrived at Guangmingtang, the largest pharmacy in Dancheng and the last one they were going to visit today.

It is said that this place is a close partner of Yaowang Sect, and it provides medicinal materials to Yaowang Sect. The elixirs made by Yaowang Sect are also sold here.

When he came here and looked at the crowded crowd outside the door, Lin Ran was a little shocked, because there were so many people here, the noise was almost reaching the sky, and the people in Guangming Hall were struggling to maintain order.

Lin Ran brought Wen Qianyi and squeezed into the crowd. He skillfully used his spiritual power to push away the people around him, and the two of them squeezed into Guangming Hall.

As soon as he entered, he could smell a strong medicinal fragrance. Just when Lin Ran wanted to see what it was, Wen Qianyi took Lin Ran's hand and walked to the upper floor: "Stupid senior, the stuff on this floor is not good. The real good stuff has to go upstairs!"

"Curious, hahaha!"

Lin Ran felt that shopping in a pharmacy was the same as shopping in a supermarket. He was used to looking at everything to satisfy his curiosity.

There were guards blocking the floor, but after Wen Qianyi showed a black gold card, she was able to pass through unhindered.

Before Lin Ran could ask, Wen Qianyi took the initiative to explain: "That is a crystal card specially used to store spirit stones, and it also represents the identity of an alchemist. This black gold of mine should be for a fourth-level alchemist. There are no such cards for those above the fifth level."

"Oh, I see. Can you give me a picture to show off?"

Lin Ran rubbed his hands and shamelessly asked the rich woman for food. He didn't expect that there were such little things in the Kyushu Continent. It would be fun to use them to show off!

He had already thought about it. The military king returned and was looked down upon. The president's wife's company was in crisis. A black gold card saved the company. The smell was overwhelming.

Hearing Lin Ran's words, Wen Qianyi rolled her eyes at Lin Ran, put the black gold card in her hand into Lin Ran's hand, and said coquettishly: "Boring senior!"

Having said that, Wen Qianyi still gave the black gold card to Lin Ran. It would just gather dust in the space ring anyway, so she might as well just treat it as a little toy for her naive senior!

The second floor is very large, divided into an elixir area and a medicinal material area. There are also fewer people there, and it is instantly isolated from the noise of the first floor.

Just when Wen Qianyi was about to pull Lin Ran to the medicinal materials area, a classical woman wearing a cheongsam with a heart-shaped slit on the chest, revealing her snow-white cleavage, came to greet Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi.

When Lin Ran saw the woman, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought to himself, "Is there still such a cheongsam in the current Kyushu Continent clothing market? It's quite advanced!"

The woman saw the black gold card in Lin Ran's hand and understood what he meant. She said respectfully, "Excuse me, Senior Alchemist, what medicinal herbs are you looking for? Our Guangming Hall is the leading medicine shop in the Dangerous Triangle. I'm sure we can buy the herbs you want!"

……

12. Xin Zhiqing, the supervisor of Guangming Hall

Although it sounded nice to be addressed as a respected alchemist, Lin Ran didn't know which herbs to ask about and could only look at Wen Qianyi for help.

Wen Qianyi rolled her eyes at Lin Ran, then took out a piece of rice paper from her space ring, wrote down the herbs she needed at the moment, handed it to the classical woman and said, "I want these herbs, I wonder if you have them in Guangming Hall?"

The classical lady couldn't help but be stunned, and her pretty face turned red. She didn't expect that the woman next to her was the alchemist. She was in a hurry to go up and even posed coquettishly. She hoped that she didn't offend anyone!

Taking the piece of rice paper filled with medicinal herbs, the classical woman saw the names of the herbs written on it and couldn't help but recite them softly: "Jade Dragon Bone Grass, Ghost Face Flower, Mingluo Fruit..."

The more the woman looked, the more frightened she became. Her hands holding the rice paper began to tremble. She had never heard of almost one-third of the names of the medicinal herbs written on the paper and did not recognize them at all.

At that moment she even suspected that the other party was making fun of her, but the medicinal herbs that she knew were classified according to their medicinal properties. It was very standard and it was like she was reading a textbook explaining the medicinal herbs.

Even a third-rank alchemist might not be able to memorize the medicinal properties of herbs so well and use them at will. Moreover, if she remembered correctly, some of the herbs mentioned above were at least those for refining fourth-rank elixirs. This must be a fourth-rank or even fifth-rank alchemy master!

The classical woman became more respectful. She blushed and handed the rice paper back respectfully with both hands, and then said: "Dear alchemist, some of the medicinal materials written on the rice paper are available in Guangming Hall, but the price will be very expensive.

With my ability, I don't know what the remaining medicinal herbs are. If you are willing, I can take you to the third floor of our Guangming Hall.

There are more precious and expensive medicinal materials there, but only alchemists are allowed to enter, and only barter is supported. The alchemists of the Medicine King Sect often go to the third floor to look for the medicinal materials they want. I believe that if this gentleman goes to the third floor, he will definitely be able to find the remaining missing medicinal materials. "

Wen Qianyi didn't rush to answer. She pinched Lin Ran's arm and said with spiritual power: "Senior, how is it? Should we go up?"

"Let's go up. Didn't they say that we can find more precious medicinal herbs up there?"

Lin Ran didn't have any objection, because if the herbs they needed were really there, they wouldn't have to run around looking for them, which would save them a lot of effort. If they had to look for them themselves, they didn't know when they would be able to find all the herbs.

.

After Lin Ran had no objection, Wen Qianyi said to the woman, "Then please lead the way!"

"You two, please come with me!"

This classical woman led the way humbly and respectfully. Normally, her walking posture would have been a little exaggerated, but she certainly didn't dare to do that now.

The woman had a very close relationship with the middle-aged man. Since her woman was an alchemist above the fourth rank, the strength of the middle-aged man should not be underestimated. If she offended him, she would be in big trouble.

But no matter what, the cheongsam is always extremely attractive when viewed from behind while walking, not to mention that the cheongsams customized here at Guangmingtang are cut quite high, which makes the lethality even more amazing.

Wen Qianyi looked at Lin Ran from time to time. When she caught Lin Ran's eyes looking at him, she used her spiritual power to transmit her voice and said sourly, "Perverted senior, you are staring at me so intently, do you want to get closer to take a look?"

"Hey, Qianyi, I'm not a pervert. I'm just exploring the characteristics of things with a learning eye. I think this kind of clothes is very nice. How about I make one for you, Qianyi?" Lin Ran suddenly remembered that he had never made clothes for Wen Qianyi to wear. He hadn't tinkered with these little things for a long time. When Lin Hongjia was still around, he was very keen on making all kinds of clothes, but now he has become a lazy dog.

"If it weren't for this kind of cheongsam, I would still be willing to wear the clothes made for me by my predecessors." Wen Qianyi would never wear clothes like the woman in front of her, absolutely not!

……

The space on the third floor of Guangming Hall is much smaller than that on the first and second floors, but the decoration is more antique, low-key but luxurious. The air is also filled with rich elixir fragrance, which is not pungent, but has the effect of boosting spirits.

The placement of medicinal materials and elixirs on the three floors here is even more cautious. They are almost all sealed in transparent crystal cabinets, through which one can see the medicinal materials and elixirs stored inside with special instruments. Every effort is made to ensure the integrity of the medicinal materials. The financial resources spent on this whole set is not simple.

When Wen Qianyi saw the facilities here, she nodded secretly and said to Lin Ran: "It seems that the medicinal materials we want can really be found here!"

Lin Ran and his companion, led by the female attendant, came down to the third floor, which immediately attracted quite a few alchemists who were originally shuttling between the counters.

However, seeing that the other party was not wearing an alchemist's robe and he couldn't tell his true identity, he withdrew his gaze. But he did linger on Wen Qianyi for a moment. However, Wen Qianyi was in disguise now, and her appearance had dropped significantly, so she would not be the focus.

"You two, please take a look around first. I'll go and bring our manager over..." the classical woman said respectfully, then walked away quickly.

Wen Qianyi pulled Lin Ran and couldn't wait to go to those counters to take a look. For pharmacists, good medicinal materials are the most coveted.

Inside the nearest counter, there is a small tree with two bright red fruits of somewhat strange shapes. They look like human hearts, which is quite weird.

“This fruit is the Nirvana Fruit, one of the main ingredients for refining the Creation Pill. The effect of the Creation Pill is quite good, mainly for strengthening the body, and it is a fifth-grade pill.

This is only what the world knows. I accidentally got a prescription which said that it can also be refined into the Creation Nirvana Pill. The grade of the pill is instantly upgraded to the sixth-grade top-grade pill, and its efficacy is much stronger than the Creation Pill.

If you can find the immortal water and the accompanying immortal fruit, and then refine it with a variety of heavenly fires, it will be the seventh-grade top-grade elixir, the Immortal Creation Pill. "Wen Qianyi said in a voice transmission.

In fact, this "accidentally" obtained prescription came from Shangguan Mengqing. Shangguan Mengqing gave not only the Jade Amber Blood Flame and the secret method to fuse the Heavenly Fire.

She also collected a large amount of information on various medicinal materials and elixir prescriptions and handed them over to her. These were rare treasures for any alchemist, but Shangguan Mengqing just threw them to her so lightly. She understood what Shangguan Mengqing wanted to do, and that was exactly what she wanted to do.

If it weren't for Shangguan Mengqing, it would have been difficult for her to know this secret. The Immortal Creation Pill, the Immortal Divine Water and the accompanying Immortal Divine Fruit are all ancient secrets.

Now I don't know if there is any? But even if it is the Nirvana Pill, if Lin Ran takes it, it can make Lin Ran's body break through higher limits.

After showing her many counters, Wen Qianyi's eyes sparkled and she looked like tears were about to fall from her mouth. There were so many good things here, it would be great if she could move them all back.

"Haha, hello both of you, I'm the supervisor here!" A crisp voice sounded from behind the two of them.

Lin Ran turned around and saw a beautiful woman in an alchemist's robe walking slowly towards him. The woman had eyes like water, eyebrows like willow leaves, and a pretty face.

The alchemist's robe seemed to be tailor-made, showing off the beautiful woman's voluptuous and well-proportioned figure to the fullest. The fabric was tightly stretched against her skin, exuding the charm of a mature woman. The beautiful woman was like a ripe peach, and a light bite would leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.

Following beside him was the classical woman who went to report.

Wen Qianyi was also an alchemist, and she immediately noticed the alchemist level on the other party's alchemist robe, as well as the extraordinary soul power.

This time, she communicated with Lin Ran through soul transmission: "Based on the power of her soul, this woman should be a fifth-level alchemist. However, judging from the chest of her robe, it is only marked as a fourth-level alchemist. She may be pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger."

"Oh, I didn't expect that Guangming Hall also has masters!"

Lin Ran was shocked. To be able to recruit a fifth-level alchemist as a supervisor, the price to pay was not small! Moreover, this woman looked to be around 30 years old. If she was a fifth-level alchemist at such a young age, her talent must be extraordinary!

The beautiful woman noticed Lin Ran's gaze. She had a smile on her face, but secretly wanted to use her soul power to explore Lin Ran's background, so she secretly released a trace of imperceptible soul power.

But what she didn't expect was that as soon as this ray of soul power approached Lin Ran, it was swallowed up by a giant golden dragon emitting a terrifying aura. A loud dragon roar sounded in the beautiful woman's mind.

"Roar!"

The beautiful woman was so frightened that she subconsciously took a step back, bumping into the cabinet next to her, and was a little out of control for a moment.

Lin Ran, the instigator, stepped forward and held the beautiful woman's hand, with a spring breeze on his face, and said, "Comrade Supervisor, what's going on? Are you so careless?"

Some alchemists around were obviously aware of the beautiful woman's identity, and they were a little envious when they saw that Lin Ran had the opportunity to show his courtesy to her.

The beautiful woman looked at Lin Ran who was so close to her, with a bit of horror in her eyes. She pretended to be calm and said, "These boots are rather crudely made. I was a little unsteady just now. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two."

Lin Ran let go of his hand and returned to Wen Qianyi. Wen Qianyi pinched Lin Ran but didn't say much. With her sharp soul, she naturally discovered that the beautiful woman was trying to test Lin Ran, but she didn't expect to be counterattacked by Lin Ran.

The classical lady at the side also realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to support the beautiful woman, and said anxiously: "Sister Xin, are you okay?"

"fine!"

The beautiful woman called Sister Xin smiled and did not let anyone continue to support her. She stood up straight again and said respectfully: "You two, let me formally introduce myself. I am the current director of Guangming Hall. My name is Xin Zhiqing. May I know the name of this gentleman?"

"Just call me Cao Mengde!" Lin Ran said calmly.

"Mr. Meng De, Xiao Xi told me just now that the medicinal materials you need are very precious. Some of them are considered treasures of the store here. If Mr. Meng De can offer me conditions that make me excited, I can decide to sell them to you!" Xin Zhiqing said with a smile.

"I wonder which ones you can give?" Lin Ran took the rice paper from Wen Qianyi and handed it to Xin Zhiqing in front of him.

Xin Zhiqing took the pen and painted on the rice paper. After a while, she handed it to Lin Ran. Lin Ran glanced at it casually and gave it to Wen Qianyi, which made Xin Zhiqing's eyes flash with a strange light.

After Wen Qianyi finished her inspection, she sent a voice message to Lin Ran and said, "It seems that Guangmingtang is quite powerful. They were able to find two-thirds of the medicine on the list. However, the main ingredient of the Ghost Resentment Pill, the Ghost Resentment Face Flower, and the Jade Dragon Bone Grass of the Dragon Breaking Pill are still missing."

Lin Ran nodded, looked at Xin Zhiqing and couldn't help but say: "I wonder if there is any other place where we can discuss the next transaction?"

Xin Zhiqing immediately understood what Lin Ran meant and said respectfully, "Please follow me over here!"

Lin Ran and the other person followed. The numerous alchemists who were originally prepared to watch the excitement had to disperse all of a sudden.

Xin Zhiqing led Lin Ran to a corridor on the third floor. When they reached the end, they pushed open the slightly open door, and a tidy study room exuding a faint fragrance appeared before their eyes.

While inviting Lin Ran and the other two to come in, Xiao Xi was responsible for guarding the door.
