Not long after Ren Zhiling returned to her room, Ren Changdong came over.

"Lingling, did you buy anything you like in the market today?"

Ren Changdong glanced at Ren Zhiling's wrist. Before Ren Zhiling returned home, he had already received the news that Ren Zhiling and that brat from the Fu Family had a good chat and even received a bracelet from that brat. He really did not know what to do.

"Father," Ren Zhiling noticed Ren Changdong's gaze and said with a smile, "This bracelet was given to me by Fu Gege. I like it very much."

"You …"

"Father, don't worry. I'm just trying to save Fu Gege's face. I'll be heading to Zhongzhou in half a month."

Ren Zhiling did not say much. She knew that Ren Changdong understood what she meant.

Ren Changdong did understand, and he understood a little "too much".

He thought that Ren Zhiling had feelings for Fu Nansi, but because of her status and external factors, she reluctantly gave up.

Ren Changdong looked at Ren Zhiling with heartache. But this relationship was destined to be fruitless, so it was better to break it off as soon as possible.

He did not want to talk about this matter anymore, so he changed the topic and said, "Lingling, father found you a second rank Celestial Butterfly Flame Beast core. But Master Fang is a little busy recently, so he might have to wait a few days before he can refine the pill for you."

Master Fang was the fifth rank Alchemist that the Ren Family worshipped. He was also the only fifth rank Alchemist in Xinbo County. His status was the highest, and even Ren Changdong did not dare to force him to refine pills.

"Father, since Master Fang is busy, just wait a few days. I'm not in a hurry."

"Okay."

After Ren Changdong left, Ren Zhiling sat on the bed and began to cultivate.

However, during the process of cultivation, she discovered that the bracelet on her wrist was constantly emitting spiritual energy. Although the bracelet did have the ability to provide spiritual energy, she had never seen any of the spirit beads with such dense spiritual energy. The effect of her cultivation for two hours was almost the same as the effect of her usual cultivation for six hours.

Ren Zhiling took off the bracelet and examined it carefully. She didn't find anything unusual.

Ren Zhiling suddenly had a bold guess in her heart. She thought of some fantasy novels she had read before. She would rather believe it than not. She forced a drop of blood from her fingertip and dripped it on the surface of the red spirit bead inlaid on the bracelet.

The originally ordinary bead suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the entire room.

These lights disappeared in less than a second. Before Ren Zhiling could react, a sloppily dressed old man with a white beard suddenly appeared in front of her.

Ren Zhiling: "…"

She was supposed to be super excited, but she couldn't get excited at all. This old man looked like he hadn't changed his clothes for decades … This kind of person really couldn't be related to an expert.

"I'm finally out …" The old man with a white beard muttered. He suddenly saw Ren Zhiling who was obviously "frightened". He awkwardly stroked his beard and said, "Cough, don't be afraid. This old man is Ling Danzi."

Ren Zhiling gave him face and said, "Yes, I've never heard of you."

"You …" Ling Danzi was so angry that his beard blew.

"To think that I, a dignified ninth-grade alchemist, have fallen to the point where even an ignorant junior doesn't know of me. How sad!" Ling Danzi's expression was very sad for a moment.

"A ninth-grade alchemist?"

Hearing this, Ren Zhiling ignored Ling Danzi's sloppy clothes and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Seeing this, Ling Danzi reservedly stroked his beard and then sat on the chair, as if he was waiting for Ren Zhiling to ask him.

At this moment, Ren Zhiling only had one thought in her mind, and that was to ride on Ling Danzi's coattails. A ninth-grade alchemist was the highest level of alchemists in the Lingwu Continent. There were only a handful of ninth-grade alchemists in the entire Lingwu Continent.

Coincidentally, she was also an alchemist. Although she was only a first-grade alchemist, with the guidance of a ninth-grade alchemist, it would be no problem for her to become a high-level alchemist in the future.

Although she was a Buddhist, she was not stupid. In the Lingwu Continent, where martial arts were respected, the more powerful one was, the more carefree one could live.

"Master Ling Danzi, let me brew a cup of spiritual tea for you." Ren Zhiling enthusiastically poured a cup of tea for Ling Danzi.

Ling Danzi raised his chin and took a sip of the tea. Then, he frowned and said with disdain, "This is spiritual tea?"

Ren Zhiling: "… Yes."

"It's disgusting. This old man has never tasted such disgusting tea in his life."

Ren Zhiling: "My family naturally can't compare to the master's. Master, please forgive me."

Hearing Ren Zhiling's words, Ling Danzi raised his eyebrows at first. Then, he slowly restrained his expression and said helplessly: "Forget it, this old man won't make things difficult for a little girl like you. First, prepare some food for this old man."

Ren Zhiling paused and then said slowly: "Master, may I introduce you to my father?"

Ling Danzi instantly understood the meaning of Ren Zhiling's words. If he prepared food, he would naturally expose his existence. He pursed his lips unhappily and said after a while: "Forget it. There's no need to prepare food for now."

"Yes."

Ren Zhiling was about to say something when a young voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

"Master."

Ren Zhiling: "…"

"Hello, Master. I'm Xiao Zhu." The young voice sounded a little shy.

Ren Zhiling: "…" She was dumbfounded.

"Master, don't you like Xiao Zhu?" The young voice sounded very wronged, as if she would immediately cry if she said yes.

Thinking of the fantasy novels she had read, Ren Zhiling suppressed her excitement and said in her mind: "Xiao Zhu, who are you?"

"Xiao Zhu is Xiao Zhu."

Ren Zhiling: "…"

Ren Zhiling sighed in her mind. Her excitement was all fake … When she thought of Ling Danzi who came out of the bracelet, she asked in her mind: "Xiao Zhu, are you the spiritual bead on my bracelet?"

"That's right. That's Xiao Zhu ~"

Ren Zhiling wanted to ask Xiao Zhu something, but she heard Ling Danzi say impatiently: "Little girl, why are you standing there like a fool?"

"Hmph, Master, you don't have to be afraid of this old man!" Xiao Zhu became unhappy when he heard Ling Danzi bullying his master.

"Master, eat some pastries first." Ren Zhiling was anxious to talk to Xiao Zhu, so she used pastries to appease Ling Danzi.

"I'm not hungry!"

Unfortunately, Ren Zhiling didn't pay attention to what he was saying. Her attention was all on Xiao Zhu.

"Xiao Zhu, what's your relationship with Master Ling Danzi?" Ren Zhiling couldn't help but ask curiously.

Xiao Zhu immediately answered Ren Zhiling's question.

It turned out that a few decades ago, Ling Danzi stole Xiao Zhu from someone else. Unfortunately, that person's family was very powerful and Ling Danzi couldn't defeat them. Not long after, he was severely injured. In the end, he hid in the spiritual bead until Ren Zhiling opened the spiritual bead. Ling Danzi was then able to come out of the Lingzhu space.

"Master, you don't have to be afraid of this old man. You are Xiao Zhu's master, so he naturally doesn't dare to offend you. Moreover, Xiao Zhu has protected him for a few decades. If he dares to bite the hand that feeds him, Xiao Zhu has a way to deal with him."

Hearing Xiao Zhu's childish tone, Ren Zhiling only felt that it was funny.

Her brain quickly turned. It was obvious that Xiao Zhu was the best. However, she couldn't let go of Ling Danzi either. After all, he was a ready-made alchemy teacher, and there was almost no better teacher than him.

"Little girl, didn't you hear what I said?"

Ren Zhiling just regained her senses when she heard Ling Danzi's angry voice. She said faintly, "I didn't hear you."

Ling Danzi choked, as if he couldn't believe that these words came out of Ren Zhiling's mouth.

"How dare you talk to this old man like that!" Ling Danzi was so angry that his beard was blown up high by Ren Zhiling's words.

Ren Zhiling's long and narrow eyes looked straight at Ling Danzi. She suddenly said, "Master, I am now Xiao Zhu's master."

Ling Danzi, "…"

The joy of leaving the Lingzhu space made him forget about this matter …

Thinking of this, Ling Danzi stopped blowing up his beard and said seriously, "In that case, this old man won't waste any more words. Do me a favor, and this old man can introduce a teacher to you. What do you think?"

Ren Zhiling sat across from Ling Danzi indifferently. She raised the teapot and poured herself a cup of spiritual tea. She didn't say anything and just slowly drank the spiritual tea.

"Little girl, I see that you have talent in alchemy. Don't you want to become a high-level alchemist?" Ling Danzi was very anxious when he saw that Ren Zhiling's attitude was not enthusiastic.

Ren Zhiling finished her cup of spiritual tea and said, "Yes, but I am Xiao Zhu's master. My future is limitless."

Ling Danzi, "…"

Ling Danzi wanted to curse. Even when he was surrounded by those people in the past, he didn't feel so sullen.

But when facing Ren Zhiling, he could only hold it in!

Ling Danzi took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Little girl, we can discuss this properly. Although the spiritual pearl is good, it is only a spiritual weapon. This old man is a ninth-grade alchemist. Naturally, I can help you more."

Ren Zhiling seemed to be persuaded and said, "If that's the case, Grandmaster, please tell me what you want me to help you with."

Ling Danzi saw this and quickly said, "It's not a big deal. As long as you bring me back to Cangling College's Dean, it will be fine."

He saw Ren Zhiling's eyes suddenly widen. He said in a small voice, "I … I can't appear in front of everyone for the time being."

Who knew if his enemy's family was still as powerful as before. He could only guarantee his safety when he went to Cangling College and received the protection of Cangling College.

This request was not difficult for Ren Zhiling, so she agreed immediately. "Okay, but Grandmaster, you have to promise me one thing."

Ling Danzi was overjoyed when he heard Ren Zhiling agree. He wasn't afraid that she would ask for too much and said, "Say it. As long as I can do it, I will do it."

Ren Zhiling said with a smile, "It's not too much. I just want you to be my disciple."

"This old man won't accept you!" This little girl was so annoying. If he took her as his disciple, he would die of anger one day!

Ren Zhiling's face instantly turned cold. "Oh, then I won't help you."

"You …"
