Even though Fu Nansi was pretending to be poor, his actual situation was not any better.

When he left home to study in the Central Region, other than informing his father, he did not make it public. Fortunately, he had been keeping a low profile ever since his accident. Furthermore, there was a substitute at home, so everyone in the family thought that he had been crippled. If it was not for the fact that he had suppressed his anger in his previous life, he would not have been noticed by the family again.

Even though his father was the head of the family, he did not have much authority. Most of the money he had was used to buy pills for him, so there was not much left.

In order to make his act as a "poor person" more realistic, Fu Nansi did not bring any storage spiritual energy with him, because his jade tablet had the ability to store spiritual energy.

"You … Since you are my follower, you don't have to worry about the daily necessities." Ren Zhiling said casually, as she handed Fu Nansi a cup of spiritual tea.

This spiritual tea was picked from the third grade spiritual tea tree in the Lingzhu space. She used Lingquan to wash it and then fried it herself.

The third grade spiritual tea was just within the limits of her body's tolerance, and it tasted good and was full of spiritual energy, so Ren Zhiling liked it very much.

When Ren Zhiling handed the cup over, Fu Nansi could smell the spiritual energy overflowing from the cup.

Third grade spiritual tea was not surprising, but he did not expect the Ren family to be able to obtain such high quality third grade spiritual tea. It seemed like he had underestimated the Ren family in his previous life.

Fu Nansi would not reject things that were good for his body. He drank all the spiritual tea in the cup in one gulp, and the gentle spiritual energy was quickly absorbed by his body, making him feel very comfortable.

Two years ago, the family sent people to deal with him, but they did not kill him. They only crippled his body, causing him to be unable to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world and turn it into his own spiritual energy.

Even though the problem with his body had been solved, two years had brought about many other problems. There was a lot of spiritual energy accumulated in his meridians from the past two years, and he could only slowly absorb this spiritual energy.

He did not expect that after drinking this cup of spiritual tea, the spiritual energy accumulated in his meridians would actually show signs of activity.

Ren Zhiling saw the surprised expression on Fu Nansi's face, and thought that he had never drunk spiritual tea before, so she quietly placed the teapot next to Fu Nansi's hand.

Fu Nansi's smile became even brighter.

"Miss Ren …" Fu Nansi's eyes flashed with an indescribable gratitude.

Ren Zhiling shyly turned her head and said, "This spiritual tea is not something rare, you can drink it, I have a lot of it."

After that, the two of them did not speak and began to cultivate in silence.

After a few hours, Ren Ren Zhiling, Ren Zhiling, Nansi, and Ren Zhiling, Ren Zhiling.

Seeing that Fu Nansi was still cultivating, she silently took out some food from the Spirit Pearl's space. Before she started eating, she saw that Fu Nansi had also finished cultivating.

"Eat to eat together?"

Fu Nansi quietly came over to eat with Ren Zhiling.

When they were eating, Ren Zhiling suddenly realized that Fu Nansi's spiritual energy was still at level 20. She thought about the two second level spiritual beasts that had died when she saved Fu Nansi, and her thoughts turned a lot.

Normally, when a martial artist obtained a beast core, they would immediately find a pill refiner to refine it. Could it be that Fu Nansi was too poor to find a pill refiner to refine the beast core and essence blood for him?

Ren Zhiling felt that this was very possible.

She asked, "Fourth Fu, have you not refined your beast core into pills yet?"

Fu Nansi nodded, his face flushed red, and said softly, "This one originally wanted to enter Cangling College and then have the college help me refine pills."

The good thing about the college was that when one went hunting in the spiritual beast forest, there would be a teacher to protect them. Furthermore, the college could help refine the beast core into pills for free.

Of course, the person refining the pills would not be the college's teachers. The beast core would be given to the appropriate students to refine. On one hand, the students could practice, and the college would also pay the students.

It was not surprising that Fu Nansi, a child from a "poor" family, would have such thoughts.

Ren Zhiling had an idea in her mind, and after she had this idea, she began to get restless.

She hinted, "But if you become a martial master and go to Cangling College to take the entrance exam, wouldn't you be more competitive?"

Fu Nansi obviously understood this, but he could not find a pill refiner in Xin Bo County.

He had originally planned to find a pill refiner to refine pills for him after leaving Xin Bo County, but he accepted Ren Zhiling's invitation. Although there were benefits, he did not have the time to find a pill refiner.

Ren Zhiling did not wait for Fu Nansi to reply, and said, "If you don't mind, I can refine pills for you."

She was very nervous when she said this, but Fu Nansi was her chosen follower, and it was natural for a pill refiner to refine pills for a follower.

She also wanted him to see her abilities, so that he would be loyal to her.

"I am also a level two pill refiner now, but I just became a level two pill refiner not long ago. If you are afraid, just pretend that I didn't say anything." Ren Zhiling was not someone who would trick people, so she told the truth and let Fu Nansi make the decision.

Ren Zhiling thought that Fu Nansi would hesitate. After all, if a pill refiner spoiled the beast core, they would not compensate the martial artist, which meant that all the risks of refining pills would be borne by the martial artist.

"I believe in you."

Fu Nansi did not mind Ren Zhiling spoiling the beast core, as he still had another beast core as backup. He wanted to see how good Ren Zhiling was at refining pills.

A sixteen year old level two pill refiner, if the success rate and the quality of the pills were high, then he had really found himself a treasure.

In her previous life, Fu Nansi had many talented people by his side, but he did not have a high level pill refiner.

And a martial artist could not do without a pill refiner.

If it was proven that Ren Zhiling was really talented, he did not mind becoming her follower.

Seeing Fu Nansi pass her two white jade bottles containing the beast core and spiritual beast blood, Ren Zhiling thought that since Fu Nansi trusted her so much, she must refine the pills successfully. At most, she would just add a drop of Lingquan.

Although the effect of Lingquan was not as good as spiritual milk, it still had the word "spiritual" in it.

Ren Zhiling silently kept the bottles, "We will reach Wenxi County in two hours. After finding an inn, I will refine the pills for you."

"Okay."

Looking at Fu Nansi's warm and smiling eyes, Ren Zhiling suddenly thought of him. It had been half a month since she helped him get the golden finger, she wondered if he had successfully made the jade pendant recognize him as its master.

She remembered that in the novel, Fu Nansi did not say anything after he got the jade pendant and his body returned to normal. However, there was one time when a rich kid who did not know his place offended him and was seriously injured by him. News of his spiritual power increasing began to spread.

In this life, he should be able to successfully make the jade pendant recognize him as its master, right?

Ren Zhiling suddenly laughed out loud. It did not matter whether Fu Nansi successfully made the jade pendant recognize him as its master or not. This person had nothing to do with her anymore. In the future, he would walk his own path and she would live her life as a Buddhist alchemist.

Cangling College only recruited students once every three years. According to the novel, Fu Nansi did not come to Cangling College to study after three years. As long as she avoided him, there was no possibility of them meeting again.

Fu Nansi: I will give you a surprise when the time comes ^ _ ^

…

When they reached the inn, Ren Zhiling and Fu Nansi were not hungry and returned to their respective rooms.

She took out the alchemy furnace from the Lingzhu space. This alchemy furnace was given to her by Ling Danzi as a gift for becoming her disciple. It was of excellent quality and could be considered one of Ling Danzi's treasures.

After putting down the alchemy furnace, Ren Zhiling's fingertips suddenly emitted a wisp of flame. With a light flick of her finger, the alchemy furnace lit up.

She methodically added spiritual herbs into the furnace. Finally, she put in the beast core and spiritual beast blood essence. Following that, she poured a drop of Lingquan into the alchemy furnace and closed the lid.

Ren Zhiling carefully observed the temperature of the alchemy furnace. Two hours later, the pills were out of the furnace.

The three pills in the furnace were all round and full. The spiritual energy was only slightly less than the pills that Ren Zhiling refined with spiritual milk.

Ren Zhiling was very satisfied.

After she put the pills into a bottle, she skipped to the next room to look for Fu Nansi.

She did not notice her 'unsteady' movements at all.

"Knock knock knock."

Fu Nansi was cultivating when he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw Ren Zhiling's flushed face. Her eyes were sparkling and she was holding a white jade bottle in her hand.

After entering the room, Ren Zhiling excitedly said, "Fourth Brother Fu, I've finished refining the pills!"

After she finished speaking, she handed the bottle with the pills in her hand to Fu Nansi.

Fu Nansi discovered that the quality of the pills was not inferior to the pills refined by high level alchemists.

Looking at Ren Zhiling's expectant eyes, Fu Nansi did not disappoint and praised her vigorously, "Miss Ren, you're the most talented alchemist I've ever seen."

Ren Zhiling: Hehe.

She felt that she had successfully bought over a 'follower'. She raised her head and pretended to not care as she said, "You can be my follower in peace. In the future, I'll be responsible for all your pills."

"Thank you, Miss Ren. I'm unable to repay your kindness. In the future, I'll definitely do my best to protect Miss Ren!" Fu Nansi was so emotional that his eyes turned red.

After all, Ren Zhiling was still an inexperienced young lady. She did not know that people were sinister. She slowly said, "Don't call me Miss Ren. Just call me by my name. There's no need to be so polite between us."

Fu Nansi took advantage of the situation and said, "Zhiling."

Ren Zhiling: "…"

"Ahem." Although Ren Zhiling was not used to being called Fu Nansi, she did not say much. She said, "We're the same age. I'll call you Fourth Brother Fu from now on."

Fu Nansi said shyly, "Zhiling … Older Sister, actually I'll be 16 in a month. You can just call me Little Four."

Ren Zhiling: "… Zhiling, you don't have to call me Older Sister. Just call me Zhiling."

"Okay."

After that, Ren Zhiling did not dare to stay any longer. She told Fu Nansi to take his elixirs without worry. She would be guarding the door for him.

Fu Nansi looked at Ren Zhiling's back with a smile. He watched as she slowly closed the door to his room. He realized that sometimes, it was easy to get addicted to acting.

In order to tease Ren Zhiling, he deliberately pretended to be younger than her and called her Older Sister. When he thought of her reaction, as if she had seen a ghost, he wanted to laugh.

He could not help but think of the few times he met Ren Zhiling. He realized that he was very happy every time.

Thinking of the difference in this life, Fu Nansi, who had never believed in fate, suddenly felt that Ren Zhiling was his lucky star.

The gift she wanted to give him was the most important jade tablet in his previous life. It saved him when he was seriously injured in the spiritual beast forest. Today, she sent him spiritual tea.

She even said that she would be responsible for all his elixirs in the future …
