Chapter 280
Hearing that the swarm was called Phoenix Wing Tiger Head Wasps, Chasing the Wind was as happy as a kid weighing several thousand pounds. He laid by the beehive for several days straight, and didn't go out to mess around at all.
Those who didn't know thought he was being lazy over there. Those who did know all knew he was hatching larvae.
After planting the beehive, Qin Ran didn't care much after that. Other than making blood sacrifices every day, everything else was being taken care of by Chasing the Wind and Liu Xiaozhi. As for Qin Ran himself, he had more important things to do these past few days - going to work!
It's not an exaggeration to say he was going to work.
This guy only wandered over to the Chief Alchemy Hall at 10 AM every day. He would look around here and there, play enough, then pick up a book and sit down in the main seat to read for the entire day. The moment it struck 5 PM, he would promptly get up and leave work.
This Chief Alchemy Hall elder... gave off the feeling of a corporate veteran who clocked in and out, wandering around with a teacup not doing proper work, going "huff huff huff" while drinking tea and spitting out tea leaves.
On June 18th, Feng Feiyan gave him an account book and said the trip to Zhican Valley was coming up in a couple days.
Qin Ran nodded and accepted the account book. He flipped it open for a look - inside were listed the spiritual medicines and elixirs that needed to be purchased this time, as well as the spiritual stones required for each elixir and spiritual medicine, and the total amount of spiritual stones needed.
He looked through carefully, then took out a pen and made some edits, before signing his name. Only then did he go find the Chief Finance Elder to retrieve the spiritual stones.
It was another day of slacking off. The moment it struck 5 PM, Qin Ran promptly got up to leave. But this time, he stopped at the door. He thought for a bit, and didn't directly return to Dan Peak. Instead, he took a detour to the Sect Leader's residence.
Since everything was already clear, there was no need to keep up this act. He should just lay his cards on the table. After all, he hadn't wronged the Dao Sword Sect one bit. Now that he had taken on this hot potato, and was about to head to the chopping block, he should at least get some benefits first.
"Sect Leader..." Gu Yueming was already seated cross-legged on a cushion, with his eyes closed, maintaining a cultivation posture. Qin Ran walked up and bowed with cupped fists, saying, "I will be heading to Zhican Valley the day after tomorrow. This trip is for the sake of all the sect disciples' cultivation, please excuse the trouble."
"There's no trouble to speak of. This is for the sake of the entire sect. I appreciate you undertaking this." Gu Yueming replied.
"(This isn't about whether it's troublesome or not. It's about life or death.)" Qin Ran laughed. "Before leaving, there are two matters I'd like to ask the Sect Leader for help with."
"(Before dying, I still have two last wishes.)"
Gu Yueming naturally understood Qin Ran's hidden meaning, but he was surprised that Qin Ran had come to ask for benefits so directly. He opened his eyes to look at Qin Ran, and nodded. "Tell me and I'll see what I can do."
"(I'll help if I can.)"
"There are still two children without identity tokens on Dan Peak. I ask that the Sect Leader help make one for them." Qin Ran said.
"I hope so."
Qin Ran returned to Dan Peak with the benefits obtained from the Sect Leader. The first thing he did was call Chasing the Wind over to give him the identity token, laughing as he patted his big head. "From now on you're an official member of Dan Peak."
Chasing the Wind accepted the identity token in his big paws and took a look. He was rather unhappy to discover it only marked him as an Inner Sect Disciple.
As expected, Li Shiyin noticed right away and came over to mock him. "Haha, just an Inner Sect Disciple! Chasing the Wind, from now on you have to call me Senior Sister!"
"No." Chasing the Wind shook his head and sneezed to show his disdain.
"The previous batch already went through the outer sect examination, so Chasing the Wind counts as a disciple of the next batch." Qin Ran helpfully reminded. "In that case, Chasing the Wind might become the senior brother to all disciples of this batch."
"Wow! So amazing..." Li Shiyin's eyes went wide with excitement as she eagerly asked, "Will there be a Divine Prodigy Ranking for the next batch of disciples? If you're not first place on the Divine Prodigy Ranking, don't come back to Dan Peak. I'll be too embarrassed."
"Of course I'll be first place..." Chasing the Wind arrogantly declared, another silly child infected by Li Shiyin.
"There should be a Divine Prodigy Ranking every batch..." Qin Ran said.
At this time, Long Qiqi walked over. Qin Ran also gave her an identity token.
Long Qiqi looked over her own token, her expression quite animated...
She, Long Qiqi, was just an extremely ordinary snake demon. Yet she could join a human sect, and an extremely orthodox one at that.
She felt a little unreal, like it was a dream.
"Why am I a disciple?" She asked Qin Ran, somewhat dissatisfied.
"What did you want to be instead?" Qin Ran asked back. "Chore Disciple? Outer Sect Disciple?"
"Can't I be an elder?" Long Qiqi mumbled.
The clever Chasing the Wind understood at this point. He hurriedly called out to Long Qiqi, "Quick, call me Martial Brother!"
Long Qiqi shot him a white-eyed glare.
