I Gave Lin Fan a Gift Before

The Cultivation School, Purple Bamboo Academy, is now enrolling!

Countless ordinary people were mobilized upon hearing the news, and countless wealthy and powerful individuals spared no expense in using their connections and spending vast sums of money to secure an opportunity for their descendants.

Unfortunately, it didn't work!

Want to go? Sure, just like everyone else, you'll apply, be reviewed, and be selected.

otherwise?

Then don't come.

Left with no other choice, they had no other option.

In the presidential suite Mountain Cloud Water Space of C City...

Jin Ruyu and dozens of other wealthy women gathered together, and everyone felt a deep sense of melancholy.

Shi Wenke sighed deeply, "Cultivation School... Alas, only now do we realize that our little brother Lin Fan is actually a cultivator, and the most powerful one at that."

"I should have known." Qin Ya smiled. "His previous methods were already quite bizarre..."

Others found it too amazing to believe.

However, for Qin Ya, it wasn't that difficult to accept.

After all, in the jade and jadeite industry, there has long been a saying that "even immortals cannot judge the quality of an inch of jade."

But what about Lin Fan?

Without even glancing at them, they can tell which rough stones contain good stuff. They can even pick out all the rough stone suppliers' decades-old stock in one go!

Previously, Qin Ya didn't know the reason and thought that those people should still have some raw stones in stock.

But now...

hehe.

What a load of rubbish!

Once something has been selected by cultivators, what's left? It's all trash!

At the same time, she finally understood why Lin Fan could hit the target every time he blindly selected. For cultivators, this should be child's play, right?

"Yes!"

Dong Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Putting everything else aside, just take the Jade Muscle Cream for example. Its effects far surpass those of all other skincare products. I suspected at the time that it must be a 'divine product,' something rarely seen in the mortal world."

"Hindsight is 20/20".

One wealthy woman laughed and said, "Didn't you all say he was a god back then?"

"It's too late to say anything now."

"Alright."

Jin Ruyu slowly shook her head. "Most of you are married people. What, do you want to form a bond with cultivators? Even if you do, it's not this kind of bond."

"Besides, would they even look at middle-aged women like us?"

"..."

Everyone felt a little awkward after hearing this, and shrugged helplessly.

In fact, everyone has some self-awareness.

It's just talk, but in fact, this is a common problem among middle-aged women, or rather, a common problem among this group of women.

They always like to use flowery language.

As for what happens after the flowers are gone... they are all typical examples of 'killing without burying'.

She's incredibly flirtatious, but then she doesn't care anymore afterward.

Jin Ruyu knew this too, so she only touched on it briefly. "He's not here, it's okay for you to spend a little money."

"If he were here, he could never be as disrespectful as before."

"Brother Lin Fan ... well, it's our good fortune that Mister Lin is so magnanimous as to not hold it against us. If we had encountered someone with a violent temper, we probably wouldn't even be corpses left."

"Know."

"Of course we understand..."

"Jin-jie, we're not that stupid."

Seeing that everyone responded, Jin Ruyu slowly nodded.

Only Shi Wenke looked helpless. "Sigh! I'm different from you guys, I have a daughter..."

"Then what?"

Jin Ruyu was taken aback.

"She's sixteen years old and very pretty..."

"???"

"I suggested that they get to know each other, but Lin Fan refused. What do you think would have happened if he had agreed?"

"I'm a used woman, he wouldn't even look at me, but my daughter is really beautiful, and she's at the age of deflowering, I guarantee she's a virgin..."

Everyone: "￣□￣||..."

Qin Ya, however, became curious and asked, "So how did he refuse back then?"

He said it was illegal.

"..."

Shi Wenke sighed helplessly, "But at sixteen, if it's voluntary, it's not illegal."

Everyone almost fell over...

"This time, I'm going to let my daughter try to get into the Purple Bamboo Academy..."

"Don't overthink it, and don't anger Lin Fan."

"Am I stupid? I'm just letting my daughter go on a spiritual journey. We're too old to meet the requirements, but we still have to consider our children's future."

Everyone nodded slightly.

Upon hearing these words, Jin Ruyu's trusted confidant, who was in charge of serving, couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.

Okay!

They kept using phrases like "withered flower" and "old woman," and kept saying "old."

But you all look like you're only in your early twenties, okay? You all have amazing figures, you're all incredibly beautiful, and your skin is so fair and smooth it looks like it's about to drip water.

This withered and faded beauty...

Even I, a young woman in my early twenties, am envious!

After the Spiritual Qi Revival.

The elderly, even those in their seventies, eighties, or even centenarians, have reverted to the appearance and physical condition of middle-aged people. They were originally only in their thirties or forties, and at most no more than fifty years old.

At this moment, it naturally transforms back into 'youthful years'.

Furthermore, since they are already wealthy and extremely particular about their financial support, it's even more astonishing.

At this moment, she doesn't look like a 'rich woman' at all.

She clearly looks like the rich girl next door.

This kind of person keeps referring to themselves as a withered flower or a fallen woman...

The waiter felt like dying after hearing that.

'Lingdao' experimental base.

The Old Man was cheering with joy.

After several days of cultivation and breeding, the spirit rice... has sprouted!

Although only one of them has broken open, this is enough to prove that spiritual rice can also be cultivated artificially. Perhaps in the near future, people will be able to eat Spirit Rice!

How could the Old Man not be happy with such a discovery?

His old subordinates, too, seemed to have regained their youthful vigor, dancing and singing in the fields, even reciting "The East is Red"...

It was at this moment that Human Path, "Spirit Rice! How wonderful! My life can be considered complete."

"If my grandson can still be selected for the Purple Bamboo Academy, then I will die with a smile on my face."

Upon hearing this, the Old Man immediately laughed and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"But what kind of school is Purple Bamboo Academy? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Everyone was shocked to hear this. "Old Man, you didn't know?"

"Know what?"

"Purple Bamboo Academy!"

The Old Man blinked. "I really don't know, I've never heard of this school..."

"..."

After a brief moment of surprise, everyone felt a deep respect for the Old Man.

How popular is Purple Bamboo Academy right now? Aside from the elderly living alone in the mountain villages, probably not many people don't know about it.

No, even elderly people living alone in mountain villages are notified by the local Village Chief or other officials...

It can be said that it is known to everyone.

But the Old Man didn't know!

Does he have a cell phone?

Have!

An old-fashioned mobile phone, the kind that can't use QQ or Feixin.

However, I can still receive text messages.

The fact that the Old Man still didn't know only proved that he was so busy with the spiritual rice project and research that he had no time to think about anything else.

In comparison, although he was the Old Man's former subordinate, he was far, far inferior in this respect...

Then, they all started talking at once, giving a full account of the Purple Bamboo Academy.

"An academy for cultivating immortality?"

The Old Man's eyes lit up. "According to the story, cultivators also need to grow spiritual herbs and Spirit Rice. Do they have any cultivation methods and related technologies for Spirit Rice, that is, spiritual paddy rice?"

"This..."

The group exchanged bewildered glances. "Perhaps there is?"

perhaps.

It's just a possibility; who can say for sure about this?

"I think there should be."

The Old Man paced back and forth, a gentle breeze rustling the rice seedlings in the field.

"I want to study at the Purple Bamboo Academy!"

"Ah?"

People were taken aback. "It's our fault for not being clear. They only recruit students under the age of thirty, and even connections won't help."

"It is said that some players who were among the top 30 in the Chinese server tried to use their connections to get their grandson in the game, but they were stopped and almost got into trouble."

"A tycoon who was once the richest man in China spent a huge sum of money and almost got arrested for bribery."

"Old Man, you'd better calm down."

"Yeah?"

The Old Man blinked. "Good, it's good to have rules!"

"However... I still want to give it a try."

"I don't aspire to cultivate immortality. I just hope to learn some miscellaneous knowledge, such as the cultivation of spirit rice."

"But Purple Bamboo Academy won't accept them. The principal is said to be the one who shattered a meteorite with his bare hands. They don't use back channels."

"So it was him?"

The Old Man smiled and said, "I know him. Maybe I can pull some strings."

"Huh?! You know him?"

"Right!"

"I even gave him a gift..."

"???"

Everyone looked at the Old Man in surprise.

Who is this person? Giving gifts to others?! This isn't like the Old Man at all!

They were stunned.

Having followed the Old Man for quite some time, I've never seen Old Man give gifts to anyone!

This is absolutely big news.

Why are you all staring at me like that?

"I really did give him gifts, and he even came to visit me."

The Old Man was somewhat puzzled.

"... If I may ask, Old Man, what did you send as a gift?"

"Two bags of Big Rice."

"I planted them myself."

The Old Man was quite pleased with himself.

Upon hearing this, everyone nearly collapsed to the ground...

Good heavens!!!

Old Man, you're really amazing!

Giving gifts to cultivators...

They even gave us two bags of Big Rice as a gift...

You have to admit it!

They were all muttering to themselves, but for a moment, no one dared to utter a sound.

However, in their hearts, they all believed that the Old Man could not succeed.

They even turned down the top 30 players in the Chinese server. Although the Old Man is a national medal holder, he can't be as powerful as those top players, right?

Moreover, they even send Big Rice to cultivators...

This is truly unprecedented; you really are something else, Old Man!

But do cultivators really lack Big Rice? Giving them something like that is like expecting them to give you special treatment... That's impossible, isn't it?

"It's... it's good..."

"You can give it a try, Old Man."

"If it really succeeds, it should be good. After all, cultivators eat Spirit Rice, right? They must have relevant planting experience?"

They couldn't very well pour cold water on the idea, so they could only 'speak against their conscience'.
