After Fu Nansi left, Ling Danzi suddenly stood up and said, "Teacher, I'm bored and want to go back. Are you coming with me?"

Ling Danzi was speechless. He wanted to beat this traitorous disciple to death!

But he couldn't let the others laugh at him, so the dean said with a serious face, "Yes."

After the dean and Ling Danzi left, the leaders started to talk. Those who could become leaders of Cangling College were all graduates of Cangling College.

Back then, Ling Danzi was the most dazzling person in Cangling College. Not only was he talented, but he was also arrogant. He offended many people and everyone knew who he was.

They were too embarrassed to talk about it when there were people around, but now they had nothing to worry about.

"Ling Danzi didn't die?

That's too scary. "

"Yeah, when I saw Ling Danzi, I thought he was a corpse."

"But Ling Danzi was a level eight alchemist back then. Do you think there's another level nine alchemist in our college after twenty years?"

"Level nine?

Don't even think about it. Although Ling Danzi is talented, he was seriously injured back then. Maybe his foundation was damaged. It's already good that he's still a level eight alchemist. "

"But his personality seems to be more restrained than before."

"How can he not be more mature after such a disaster?

"…"

Ling Danzi didn't know or care about these discussions. He had always been willful. His purpose of coming to the square was to see Fu Nansi. Why would he stay there when he saw Fu Nansi? There weren't any good alchemists for him to choose from.

"Ling Danzi, what are you doing?" The dean asked. "Don't tell me you're going to see Fu Nansi?"

Ling Danzi couldn't admit that he was someone who cared about his student's followers. He said, "No, I just think he's not bad."

"So you want to take him in as your disciple?"

Ling Danzi immediately said, "How can that be? He's not an alchemist."

The dean narrowed his eyes and said with a fake smile, "Ling Danzi, you've learned how to lie to your teacher?"

Ling Danzi: "…"

After that, the dean and Ling Danzi engaged in a friendly one-sided hand-to-hand combat.

Ling Danzi couldn't say anything. He didn't dare to fight back against the teacher. He could only try his best to escape and not get beaten up by the dean.

The Dean had wanted to beat up Ling Danzi for a long time. Now that he had added up all his old and new grudges, he was finally able to vent them all.

The disciples of other teachers were all filial and obedient. He really didn't know how blind he was to have found such a troublesome disciple like Ling Danzi.

When the dean finally stopped his one-sided beating, Ling Danzi stood up from the ground. He couldn't help but let out a painful hiss as the place where he was beaten was moved.

"Teacher, you are really ruthless."

The dean proudly turned around and left without saying a word.

Although he had been beaten up, Ling Danzi also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his old debt with the dean had been written off.

He took out a healing pill from his storage ring and swallowed it. Only then did he walk towards his alchemy room.

When he returned to his alchemy room, Ling Danzi remembered that he had been bullied by the teacher. He prepared to bully his disciple.

"How's the pill refinement going?" Ling Danzi asked with a straight face.

Ren Zhiling had been waiting for Ling Danzi to come back and ask her. She didn't care about Ling Danzi's expression. She took out the finished pill and handed it to Ling Danzi. She said mysteriously, "Teacher, take a look for yourself."

Ling Danzi looked at her deeply.

He poured out the pill from the white jade bottle. Ling Danzi discovered that although there was only one pill inside, this pill was much fuller than the one he had refined in the morning.

The time he had been away was only enough for Ren Zhiling to refine the pill once. In other words, Ren Zhiling had only refined the pill once. The second time was already so good.

Ling Danzi's mood inexplicably improved. With such an outstanding disciple, a little bit of anger was nothing.

"Not bad," Ling Danzi's smile widened. "Although there's only one pill, it looks very full. The spiritual power contained in it is also much stronger than the one in the morning."

"Hehe."

"However," Ling Danzi's tone changed. "If you're only at this level, I'm afraid you won't be able to take first place in the alchemy competition the day after tomorrow."

"Hm?" Ren Zhiling's smile froze on her face.

"I heard that there are a few talented alchemists in this year's freshmen. Like you, they're all third rank alchemists. Since they're all third rank alchemists, they compare their pill refinement rate, the fullness of the pill, and the amount of spiritual power it contains."

"As for the competition the day after tomorrow, I only have one thing to say. Only victory is allowed. Failure is not allowed."

Ren Zhiling pursed her lips. The joy in her heart suddenly disappeared. Without saying a word, she turned around and sat down beside the alchemy furnace. She planned to continue refining pills. There were still nearly two days to practice. She could definitely improve.

Ling Danzi's words were somewhat exaggerated.

Although they were both third rank alchemists, Ren Zhiling had a talent that other alchemists did not have. That was, her pill refinement rate was high. The fullness of her pills was also higher than that of ordinary third rank alchemists.

She had a higher chance of winning the competition the day after tomorrow.

However, Ling Danzi wanted to be the overwhelming number one.

When Ling Danzi claimed to be number two, no one dared to claim to be number one. His disciple also had to have the same demeanor as her teacher.

For the next day, Ren Zhiling continued to refine pills. However, her furnace did not explode. The pills she refined were better and better.

During dinner, she went back to her dormitory and found that her dormitory had taken three of the top four spots in the Outer Courtyard. Her luck was simply unparalleled.

Wei Zhou was still as cold as usual. Ren Zhiling did not see him.

On the other hand, Fu Nansi humbly said that it was nothing.

Zhang Yan was as happy as a dog's tail flower. Even Fu Nansi did not expect Zhang Yan to be able to make it this far. He did not seem to be outstanding, but he became stronger when he met strong opponents.

Fu Nansi felt that this damn fatty was quite capable. If he was not a little slow, he would have been a famous person in his previous life.

"Ren Zhiling, will you be watching the competition tomorrow?

If I win tomorrow, then I can become your follower. "

Becoming Ren Zhiling's follower had almost become Zhang Yan's obsession. However, because he was not very smart, he was even more persistent.

Ren Zhiling did not say anything about this. If Zhang Yan really did what she promised, then she would have to fulfill her promise.

As for Ling Danzi … she would act according to the circumstances.

If Zhang Yan and Fu Nansi could both squeeze into the top three, then two of the top three spots in the Outer Courtyard Freshmen Competition would be her followers. Thinking about it, it was quite beautiful.

"Let me tell you a piece of good news." Ren Zhiling unconsciously spoke with a little pride, "I have officially become a Third Grade Alchemist."

"Third Grade?

Ren Zhiling, you're amazing! "Zhang Yan had already regarded himself as Ren Zhiling's follower. Hearing this, he was overjoyed.

Fu Nansi also did not expect Ren Zhiling to be promoted to a Third Grade Alchemist so quickly. He was a little caught off guard.

Thinking of his plan, he asked, "Then the Alchemist Competition the day after tomorrow, are you confident?"

Ren Zhiling did not dare to boast too much. She only said, "I'm 50% confident. However, the Alchemist Competition does not limit the number of people who can enter the Inner Courtyard. I'm not too sure if I can be selected."

In fact, she knew that as long as she was first place, she would definitely enter the Inner Courtyard. It did not make sense for her teacher to be in the Inner Courtyard while she was in the Outer Courtyard. Moreover, the location of her class was also in the Inner Courtyard.

Fu Nansi secretly cursed. If Ren Zhiling entered the Inner Courtyard, how could he be alone in the Outer Courtyard?

Therefore, he pretended to say casually, "I haven't seen a Third Grade Pill before. Zhiling, you're amazing."

"What's so special about Third Grade Pills? I'll give you some."

Hearing this, Ren Zhiling took out the Third Grade Pills that she had successfully concocted from her Storage Ring. She handed one bottle each to Fu Nansi and Zhang Yan. She said, "These pills may not be perfect, but the effects are not bad."

Fu Nansi poured out the pills from the bottle. Although the pills were not as full of spiritual power as when she refined the beast core for him, it should not be difficult for her to win the competition the day after tomorrow if she could maintain this level of spiritual power.

Now, it seemed that he could not go easy on her in the competition tomorrow. But … Could it be that he had to go to the Inner Courtyard with Zhang Yan?

What a nightmare.

Not long after staying in the dormitory, Ren Zhiling returned to Ling Danzi's Alchemy Room to start concocting pills. Before going to bed, she finally concocted three pills. Although these three pills were not as full as a single pill, they won in terms of quantity.

Ren Zhiling clutched the pill bottle and fell asleep.

The next morning, Ren Zhiling showed the pills to Ling Danzi. Ling Danzi was secretly satisfied. Even when he was a Third Grade Pill Master, he could not concoct pills every single time.

Today was the day of the Outer Courtyard Competition. Ren Zhiling wanted to watch the competition.

"Teacher, can I go watch the competition today?"

"Concoct another bottle of pills. If the quantity and quality of the pills are the same, I'll let you watch the competition."

Although Ling Danzi still wanted Ren Zhiling to continue concocting pills, maybe she could get a better result in the competition tomorrow, he thought that Ren Zhiling was still young after all. It was not good to keep her locked up.

"Okay!" Ren Zhiling walked quickly to the Alchemy Furnace as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

Ren Zhiling lit the fire and put the spirit plants in the furnace. Her movements were methodical and even had the unique beauty of a woman.

Ling Danzi was secretly satisfied. Although Ren Zhiling was a little naughty, she was serious when concocting pills, which was worthy of praise.

After an hour, Ren Zhiling opened her eyes. After extinguishing the flame on the Alchemy Furnace, she took out three pills from it. They looked rounder and fuller than the pills she had concocted last night.

Ren Zhiling narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

After passing the pills to Ling Danzi for inspection, he nodded and said, "Go ahead. Come back early."

"Thank you, Miss Xie!"
