This author has traveled through time and space in a book!

So, Xu Qingyun is your favorite, right? Before, you were so leisurely and didn’t even practice actively.

This time, he knew how to treat Xu Qingyun, and he actually started practicing every minute!

The materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill had already been prepared at the Treasure Hall. Zhou Ran settled the bill with five bottles of the Top-Grade Qi Gathering Pill and also got back a lot of spirit stones.

After that, she went into seclusion to practice. By constantly refining pills and making talismans to consume spiritual energy, and then replenishing it with the spirit gathering array, Zhou Ran soon reached the great perfection of the Qi training stage.

As for the foundation-building pill, she had prepared it half a month ago. Once she breaks through, she can return to the modern world.

I stayed in the Yixian City world for more than a year, and in the modern world for only two hours.

Sure enough, the two worlds are connected. Zhou Ranren is back, and it is herself who is back in the foundation-building state.

So this means sending her to Yixian City to build a foundation?

"Ranran, did you have a fever last night? Are you feeling better?" Grandpa Zhou was having a drink in the living room early in the morning.

Drink five times a day, without missing a single meal.

"Much better." How could it be better? This person, in the Qi training stage, would still catch a fever and a cold just because he was scratched by a cat.

Once the foundation is established, it’s like being reborn, and I feel so much better.

"That's good. If you have a fever, just drink a few sips of plum wine, sweat it out, and you'll be fine." Grandpa Zhou never missed any opportunity to train his granddaughter to be an alcoholic.

"Grandpa, you should drink it yourself. Oh, by the way, a friend gave me two jars of wine a few days ago. Please wait for a while." Zhou Ran said as he ran back to the room, actually taking the opportunity to take the wine from the storage ring.

There are hundreds of jars of apricot blossom wine in Xinghua Tower alone. Many people in Yixian City know that the alchemist behind Master Xiao Zhou is an alcoholic.

"What wine?"

"It's called apricot blossom wine. Try one cup." Zhou Ran opened a jar of wine and poured it into her grandfather's cup.

It’s not big, just a two-cent cup.

Grandpa Zhou took a sip, and the wrinkles around his eyes relaxed a little. This wine is good.

When Lao Zhou got up to make breakfast, he saw his father bargaining with his daughter.

"Ran Ran, give Grandpa another two taels, just two taels."

After asking carefully, he learned that Zhou Ran's friends had given her two jars of wine, and Old Zhou's eyes lit up.

But he knew his father. He loved drinking, but he also drank all kinds of alcohol.

But he is usually quite restrained. If he were to ask others for wine like this... I can only say that the wine must be of good quality.

Zhou Ran's wine was originally prepared for the old man, so how could he not give it to him? He moved the two jars of wine into the storage room, and told the father and son who had already started drinking, one, not to drink too much, and the other, not to drink and drive.

She went out to look for Xu Qingyun.

After all, it is an illness. The sooner the problem is solved, the less suffering you will suffer.

This talisman cannot be given out openly, otherwise it may be considered as promoting superstitious ideas.

But she...it's really effective!

While having breakfast with Xu Qingyun, Zhou Ran slapped several talismans on her to dispel evil spirits. It actually worked, but whether it could eradicate the lesion would depend on the results of the next checkup.

Just this is enough to make Zhou Ran feel at ease.

"So, you are planning to go back to the capital?" Xu Qingyun drank a mouthful of tofu pudding and calculated the time. It has been quite a while since Zhou Ran came back.

"Yes, the flight is the day after tomorrow." Zhou Ran was very active. After making sure that Xu Qingyun was fine, she planned to leave.

"Well, then I won't see you off. You have to take good care of yourself in Beijing and eat well. Do you hear me?" Xu Qingyun didn't know what Zhou Ran had done to her. He just told her to take care of herself and not to miss her...

"Okay!" Zhou Ran looked at the evil energy still emanating from Xu Qingyun and estimated that it would take some time.

The talisman she put on was long-lasting, so there would be no problem even if she was not around.

If she doesn't return to the capital, Uncle Hu will come to her house to arrest her.

As for Zhou Ran, he has to go back to complete his doctorate.

……

Two months later, Zhou Ran completed his thesis defense and successfully obtained his doctorate degree.

With the persuasion (no, cross it out) of his advisor, he successfully applied for the Tsinghua University Scholar Program. The benefits included, but were not limited to: an annual salary of 30 yuan from the university, six social insurances and two housing funds, a 4.2 yuan annual rental subsidy for postdocs, help with kindergarten and school enrollment for his children (Zhou Ran didn't have one), and household registration transfer for himself and his family in accordance with postdoc policies...

After working at the station for three years, you can apply for the qualification of associate researcher.

Goodness me, back when Zhou Ran was admitted to Tsinghua University with the provincial top scorer in science, Old Zhou wasn't this outrageous. He actually thought his ancestral graves were on fire and went back to his hometown with his old father and mother to perform a week-long ritual...

The most secure job in Beijing is still at Tsinghua University!

Old Zhou did not tell Zhou Ran about the ritual, so how did she know about it?

Lao Zhou, a cadre with decades of service, has been reported. He's leading the charge in feudal superstition, which is truly unacceptable!

At his age, he was given a warning and fined 2,000 yuan. Old Zhou was so angry that his hands were shaking. Who is this? Is it okay to be so shameful?

The county town is so small that even without asking, people would rush to tell Lao Zhou that his elder brother did it!

That’s right, it’s Zhou Ran’s uncle!

Who asked Lao Zhou to show off by returning to his hometown to do this?

On the one hand, Zhou Ran felt that it was not unfair for Old Zhou to be punished. On the other hand, she felt that it was not surprising for Uncle Zhou to do this.

So, Zhou Ran is probably the calmest one in the family.

Even Grandma Zhou, who usually has little presence, asked her second grandson to send her back to her hometown to scold the eldest son's family. According to Zhou Er's brother, it was the first time he saw an old lady scolding people for more than an hour without repeating herself. Grandma is awesome!

"Ranran, what's wrong with your brain? Why doesn't Dayi look like you?" Zhou Erge not only sighed, not to mention his uncle, but even he himself felt that his ancestors' graves were burned because only his generation could produce a Zhou Ran.

"Because Dayi is not my child." Zhou Ran stared at the experimental data while listening to Zhou Erge sharing the follow-up of his hometown on the hands-free mode.

“…I feel like you’re calling me stupid!”

"Is it possible that your feeling is correct?"

The conversation between the brother and sister was meaningless, but it also reflected that they had a good relationship, otherwise Zhou Ran would not have wasted his energy chatting for so long.

"Ranran, your uncle's family is too much!" Taotao was the first to jump out and denounce them after Zhou Ran hung up the phone.

"Well... let's do that!" Zhou Ran had encountered even more bizarre things in his previous life, so he didn't find it strange at all.

"When did you become so good-tempered? Aren't you going to retaliate?" It was a small voice, and the tone alone was it.

"Is it possible that if a dog bites you, you'd still want to bite it back?" Zhou Ran turned off the experimental equipment, put away the materials, and sneered, "Some people don't even need to take action; they just need to watch and they will destroy themselves."

I guess this time, Lao Zhou won’t help again, right?
