The scorching sun is shining, adding a bit of warmth to the city of Lunan in autumn.

Although the weather is getting colder, the number of people on the streets of Lunan City has increased, and Fu Ran, who has lived here for ten years, naturally knows that many mercenaries have begun to gather in Lunan City, and in a few days, the number of people in Lunan City will reach a peak.

Although the mysterious beasts are different from the beasts, they are still beasts after all, and some still need to hibernate, and the mysterious beasts hibernate, they will stay in groups in the cave, and the mercenaries dare not approach at all, once they wake up these mysterious beasts, they will attract a storm attack.

Therefore, the mercenaries must seize the winter to hunt more mysterious beasts, and autumn is also the best time to hunt mysterious beasts, and some mercenaries who rarely shoot will also go out of the mountain.

These have no effect on Fu Ran, if you have to say that it has to be affected, it is that once it is autumn, then he will not be able to go out hunting, and he will rarely be able to encounter mysterious beasts, and ordinary beasts have no attraction to him.

Fu Ran walked on the street, his hands behind his back, occasionally greeting others, he didn't care about the man behind him, he didn't have to think about it to know that it was Yuan Ji's person.

It has been more than a month since he returned to Lunan City, but he still has not improved his attainments in runes, and he plans to relax after not going out for a long time, maybe he will be able to break up.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking on his part.

And at this moment, in the city lord's mansion, hearing the advice of the subordinates, Yuan Ji sneered again and again, and pushed away the bewitching woman in his arms, for women, Yuan Ji was more interested in Fu Ran.

"Finally showing up!"

Yuan Ji whispered, then remembered something, and said, "What strength does Fu Ran have now?"

"I don't know. It wasn't clear. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Ji lowered his head and condensed. Three years ago, Fu Ran's strength had already reached the Yuan Xuan Realm, and three years later, it would at least be the Spirit Xuan Realm. As for the Zong Xuan Realm, it is still unlikely, but I don't know how far I have gone in the Spirit Xuan Realm.

"Go and inform Shen Lao. ”

"Yes. ”

The subordinate took the order and left, leaving Yuan Ji who sneered constantly, in Fu Ran's eyes, he was the second generation of officials whose brains were caught by the door, but he was not stupid, although he liked to trouble Fu Ran, but he didn't dare to really do anything, that was after the four handsome. If there is any accident in his hands, even the city lord will not be able to protect him.

However, he also understood that Fu Ran dared to argue with him precisely because of this, as long as he didn't hurt Fu Ran, no one would ask, and all he wanted was to humiliate Fu Ran in public.

In fact, when Fu Ran stepped out of the mansion, he knew that there would definitely be trouble today, but this kind of trouble did not have any effect on him. It's also easy to solve, so I didn't care about it, and let it be followed.

"This is"

Fu Ran suddenly paused and looked at the painting shop in front of him. Looking at the old man who was painting with a pen, he suddenly remembered what he had encountered in Wanyong City, and he couldn't help but step into the painting shop at the moment.

The old man glanced at Fu Ran out of the corner of his eye. But he didn't come forward to greet him, and the pen walked away from the dragon and snake. However, after a while, a painting of a tiger descending from a mountain was completed.

Put down the brush in your hand. The old man nodded to Fu Ran and said, "Young Master Fu Ran, how come you have time to come to the little old man's shop today?"

In Lunan City, there are really not many people who don't know Fu Ran, so Fu Ran is not the slightest surprise that the old man in front of him can see himself at a glance.

"The kid is also learning to paint during this time, and he barely has a look, but he can't improve again, and he came to ask for advice, and he forgot the advice of the old man. Fu Ran bowed to the old man.

The old man stopped and said with a smile: "Fu Ran's words are serious, and he can't talk about advice." ”

After a pause, the old man pondered for a while, and then said: "The old boy doesn't know how to improve, I don't know what Fu Ran wants to paint?"

Faced with the old man's question, Fu Ran didn't know how to answer, his eyes swept over, and his eyes suddenly stopped on the tiger whose ink had not yet dried, and pointed: "Just draw it!"

Glancing at the ink painting that had just come from his own hand, the old man smiled and said: "This painting is not imaginary, but every time before painting, I will first observe, just like this tiger, or a few days ago I entered Dongshan with a hunter and saw it with my own eyes, so I painted it." ”

The old man's words echoed in Fu Ran for a long time, and his heart suddenly brightened.

He has become a second-grade talisman master, and he is only half a step away from the third-grade talisman master, but he can't take this step, as if there is a layer of paper in the middle, and the old man's words just now pierced this layer of paper.

Indeed, he now has one foot in the three-grade rune master, as for why he can't take this step, Fu Ran has never been able to figure it out, it stands to reason that he already has a half-step empty mind, and the three stability should not be a problem, coupled with the not weak mental power, it is not difficult to draw the three-grade rune pattern, but the reality is different.

After hearing the old man's words at this moment, he finally understood that this was the truth.

Since becoming a talisman, he has met only two or three talismans, but he has never fought against each other, and he is usually the only one who uses runes to fight with people, except for when he saw Mu Fu draw a three-grade rune, he has never seen a three-grade rune again.

Although he has seen the old man draw talismans many times, the realm of the old man is too high, and he has a lot of things that he can't understand, and the runes are formed, and there are many uncertainties in his heart.

"Looks like we need to find a talisman to give it a try. ”

After an instant, Fu Ran was intended, but he began to have a headache again, it seemed that there was only a second-grade rune master in the city lord's mansion in Lunan City, and it was said that it was impossible to determine whether it existed.

It seems that this matter still needs to be planned well, and at that moment Fu Ran hugged his fist to the old man, and then left, leaving the old man with doubts, I don't know if he understood.

Out of the painting shop, Fu Ran walked casually on the street, but he lowered his head and condensed, except for the city lord's mansion It is said that there is a second-grade talisman master, he really doesn't know that there are other talismans in Lunan City.

And the second-grade rune master has no effect on him, if he can find a rune master who can draw the third-grade rune pattern, maybe he can really understand something from it.

"Three-grade talisman master, I'm afraid only the imperial capital has it. ”

The three-grade rune master is equivalent to the Lingxuan realm, but most of them can be compared with the Zongxuan realm, and they are rarer than the Zongxuan realm, there must be some three-grade rune masters in the Gar Empire, but they should all be gathered in the imperial capital.

"It seems that we will enter the imperial capital earlier. ”

Now there are nearly four months left before the joint academy competition, and it seems that when the test of the Lunan Academy is over, he will leave for the imperial capital.

It is said to be a test, but this time the test is different from usual, and it is related to whether it has the strength to represent Lunan Academy in the joint competition, so it can be regarded as a college exam.

At that time, he, a student who only had a name in Lunan Academy, had to participate, otherwise he would not be eligible to participate in the joint academy competition.

"Yo, Fu Ran, I haven't seen you for three years, why do you leave with your head down when you see me coming?"

Yuan Ji's mocking voice came, causing him to look up indifferently. 、

I haven't seen him for three years, Yuan Ji has also undergone amazing changes, he is about to become an adult, he has a slender figure, the immaturity on his face has also faded, the white shirt with the jade crown, and he also has the appearance of a young man, but in the hearts of the people of Lunan City, no one has associated Yuan Ji with a young man.

Seeing that Fu Ran's expression did not change in the slightest, the corners of Yuan Ji's mouth twitched, what he was most unaccustomed to was Fu Ran, as if it was difficult to arouse his interest in anything, and his tepid temperament was annoying.

"Yuan Ji, what's the matter?" Fu Ran asked flatly, he had long known that he would "meet" Yuan Ji today, so he naturally inevitably faced cynicism.

"What can I do? On the contrary, you, who haven't come to the test for three years, don't you take Lunan Academy to heart?" At the end of the words, Yuan Ji's tone also turned into a question.

Hearing this, the corners of Fu Ran's mouth lifted, and a sneer was very obvious, and said, "What does it matter to you whether I go to test or not?" Since you are fine, don't get in the way. ”

"This makes people laugh, this way is not cultivated by your Fu family, why do you say that I am in your way?" Yuan Ji sneered.

Fu Ran shook his head slightly, glanced at Yuan Ji, the sneer on the corner of his mouth was even worse, and there was a hint of banter in it, and said, "It seems that you are not a good dog." ”

Yuan Ji was slightly stunned, but the next moment he understood what Fu Ran meant, anger appeared on his face, and only Fu Ran dared to speak to him like this in Lunan City, which made him extremely dissatisfied, and shouted: "Fu Ran, don't go too far, don't think that no one will dare to do anything to you with the gold and silver scrolls, if it weren't for the fact that the law stipulates that you can't do anything in the city, otherwise you will definitely look good."
