The injured man was Fu Nansi, he did not expect to meet Ren Zhiling under such circumstances.

That day when he received the jade plaque, he immediately went back and made the jade plaque recognize him as its owner.

Fu Nansi was very familiar with the jade plaque, and the next day, he used the jade plaque to heal his body.

The spiritual energy that he had accumulated over the past two years allowed him to reach the peak of a level 20 martial artist.

Following that, he rushed to the nearest Spirit Beast Forest, intending to obtain a second level Spirit Beast core.

Fu Nansi's jade plaque had the ability to change his appearance, as long as he used this ability, even the people closest to him would not be able to recognise him.

This ability was of little value to Fu Nansi in his previous life, and did not receive much attention. But to the reborn Fu Nansi, it was a very useful ability.

This started from Fu Nansi's background.

Fu Yurong was not his biological father, but his maternal uncle.

He was an illegitimate son of a large family in Cang Wu Country. His mother and father were in love, but the family did not acknowledge his mother's identity.

His father could not win against the resistance of the entire family, and in the end, had no choice but to give up on him and his mother.

But his mother was assassinated on the way out, and he was sent to his maternal uncle Fu Yurong's side by his mother's servant.

Fu Nansi was not aware of all this, he had a strong innate talent, and was known as a genius since young. But two years ago, his body was destroyed by that family, and he could no longer advance.

In his previous life, he was not aware of all this, and after he received the jade plaque, he was often troubled by that family. Because he looked too similar to his biological father, he could not hide from that family.

Although he destroyed that family in the end, but in this life, he did not want to follow the same path as in his previous life, it was too tiring.

So the jade plaque's ability to change his appearance was what he needed the most.

He changed his appearance and came to this Spirit Beast Forest, but he did not expect his luck to be so bad. After meeting a suitable Spirit Beast, he started to attack, but he did not expect that halfway through, another Spirit Beast would appear.

He was only a Level 20 Martial Artist. Although the Spirit Beasts died in the end, he also suffered serious injuries from attacking two Peak Level 2 Spirit Beasts.

At that time, he had already eaten all the healing pills, but he suddenly noticed that there were people nearby. He once again lay down on the ground, pretending to be weak. If the person wanted to kill him and rob him, then he would attack him by surprise.

Who would have thought that the person who came was Ren Zhiling?

Thinking of Ren Zhiling's expression of disdain and helplessness just now, Fu Nansi smiled happily.

When it came to extracting the beast cores and blood essence of spirit beasts, perhaps it was the first time but the second time, it was the second time. This time, although Ren Zhiling also felt very uncomfortable, her stomach didn't show any signs of churning.

After a while, she expressionlessly placed the four bottles containing beast cores and spiritual beast blood essence beside Fu Nansi.

Fu Nansi's pale face revealed a hint of gratitude. "Thank you, Miss. I will never forget your kindness. May I know Miss's name?"

"My surname is Ren."

Although Ren Zhiling was not in a good mood, as the saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face. She still replied to his question.

"Miss Ren, my name is Fu Si."

Ren Zhiling almost choked. She quickly asked, "Fu Si?

Which Si? "Why did she have such an affinity with someone with the surname Fu Si!

"Si as in one, two, three, four." Fu Nansi's face revealed a shy expression. "My father is illiterate, so he named me Fu Si. I hope Miss Ren doesn't mind."

Hearing this, Ren Zhiling subconsciously thought of Fu Nansi as a pitiful person.

His father was illiterate, so one could imagine how difficult his family's conditions were.

"Are you feeling better?" Ren Zhiling saw that the sky was not dark yet. It was still not too late to leave.

Fu Nansi shook his head, then looked at Ren Zhiling with a grateful gaze and said, "Miss Ren has already helped me a lot. Before the sky turns dark, Miss Ren should leave early."

Ren Zhiling understood the subtext of this sentence. This meant that he was still unable to leave, so he wanted her to leave first.

If it was someone else, they would definitely not care about Fu Nansi. But Ren Zhiling was someone from the modern world. Even if she had the memories of her original body, she was still a young lady and had not come into contact with any bad things.

Ren Zhiling was still too naive. This naivety that should not appear in her made Fu Nansi very interested.

"Since I've helped you, I'll be a good person to the end. Otherwise, you'll be killed by the spirit beasts at night. Wasting one of my healing pills would not be worth the loss." Ren Zhiling did not want Fu Nansi to be too grateful to her, so she deliberately said this.

Fu Nansi had already guessed that Ren Zhiling would not leave him alone in the forest for the night. But when he heard her say this, he could not help but feel warm in his heart.

"Then I'll have to thank Miss Ren."

"You're welcome." Ren Zhiling looked at Fu Nansi who had already sat up and said, "Do you want to eat something?"

Fu Nansi shook his head and deliberately said, "I've already stayed in this forest for a few days. I've already finished all the food that I brought."

When Ren Zhiling heard this, she sympathized with him even more. This was a typical child from a poor family. He did not even bring much food into the Spirit Beast Forest. He probably did not even have a storage bracelet.

With a thought, Ren Zhiling took out some second level spirit beast meat from the Lingzhu space and said, "Let's eat together."

The best food that Ren Zhiling could take out was second level spirit beast meat. This was something that Fu Nansi was well aware of.

This little girl was too likable. Fu Nansi's heart felt as if it had been scratched by a cat's claws.

In his previous life, he had met many people. Good people and bad people, but he had never met someone as naive as Ren Zhiling.

If the one lying here was not him, but anyone else, Ren Zhiling's face would have been eaten to the point that not even her bones would be left.

And how could the Ren family agree to let Ren Zhiling come to the Spirit Beast Forest alone?

Ren Zhiling did not care about Fu Nansi and began to eat.

Fu Nansi suppressed the doubts in his heart and ate as well.

The spirit beast meat warmed his stomach and was quickly digested into spiritual energy. After Fu Nansi finished eating, he began to meditate to heal his injuries.

That night, Fu Nansi was constantly healing his injuries. Ren Zhiling did not dare to sleep soundly as she was afraid that some spirit beasts would attack them.

However, their luck wasn't that bad. The night passed peacefully.

The next day, after dawn, Fu Nansi slowly opened his eyes. His injuries were mostly healed. He had to admit that the healing elixirs that Ren Zhiling gave him were much better than his own. He was really poor and was not pretending to be poor.

Fu Nansi looked at Ren Zhiling and found that she had unknowingly opened her eyes. The two of them looked at each other and there was no sign of sleepiness in their eyes.

The Spirit Beast Forest was not safe. The two of them discussed for a while before leaving the forest.

Maybe it was because she was moved by Fu Nansi's "gratitude" that Ren Zhiling talked to him for the first time.

After knowing that Fu Nansi was going to Zhong Zhou to participate in the Cangling College's entrance exam, Ren Zhiling thought for a while and said, "I am also preparing to participate in the exam. Why don't you come with me?"

Ren Zhiling was not lacking in companionship. She just thought that Fu Nansi was so poor that he would need a large sum of money to travel from here to Zhong Zhou. If he was admitted to Cangling College, he would need a large sum of money for school fees.

She was not a real Young Miss. In the modern era, she was already used to squeezing with others on public buses, not to mention sharing a large horse carriage with others.

When Fu Nansi heard this, he was even more grateful. His eyes were slightly red, as if he had never seen someone as nice as Ren Zhiling.

"You …" Ren Zhiling was a little embarrassed. From her point of view, she did not do anything, but Fu Nansi was so grateful.

"Fourth Fu, if you really want to thank me, then work hard on your cultivation. I am an Alchemist. When the time comes, you can be my follower."

Every Alchemist had many followers. Most of the followers of a Level 9 Alchemist were at the level of Wu Sheng.

Ren Zhiling had her own reasons for taking care of Fu Nansi. Fu Nansi was the same age as her and had the same level of spiritual power as her. He was also a genius.

As an Alchemist, she needed followers to protect her safety.

Fu Nansi did not have any background and was full of gratitude towards her. This kind of person was most suitable to be her follower.

Fu Nansi's eyes flashed with a smile. So this little girl had this idea.

"Miss Ren, I am very willing to be your follower!"

The two parted ways at the village outside the Spiritual Beast Forest and agreed to meet in Xinbo County seven days later.

… …

When Ren Zhiling reached home, Ren Changdong had already been waiting for a while.

He looked at Ren Zhiling with red eyes. He felt that his daughter must have suffered a lot on this trip.

Ren Zhiling comforted him, "Father, with Master around, how could I have suffered?"

"You only know how to coax me. Growing up, you have never lacked people to serve you. How could you not have suffered when you went out alone this time?" Ren Zhangdong did not believe Ren Zhiling's words at all.

Ren Zhiling: "… …"

After comforting Ren Changdong with difficulty, Ren Zhiling returned to her room.

A white light flashed and Ling Danzi appeared in front of her.

Ling Danzi was in the Lingzhu space and did not know that Ren Zhiling had saved someone in the forest. If he knew, he would be so angry that he would blow his beard again.

He sat on the chair and looked at Ren Zhiling, "This time, you will refine the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's beast core into pills."

"Ah?" Ren Zhiling could not believe it.

Ling Danzi nodded slightly, "Recently, you have asked your father to buy a batch of spiritual herbs for you to refine level two pills. You are a level one alchemist. Once you become a level two alchemist, you will be able to refine pills for yourself."

In terms of teaching, Ren Zhiling would not go against Ling Danzi's advice, but … …

"Master, we will be leaving for Zhongzhou in seven days."

Ling Danzi raised his eyebrows and looked at Ren Zhiling with disappointment, "Do you think that you will not be able to refine level two pills in seven days?"

Ren Zhiling indeed thought so, but when she saw Ling Danzi's unkind expression, she silently swallowed the words that were at the tip of her tongue back into her stomach.

"As the owner of the Lingzhu space, if you can't even handle such a small challenge, I am afraid that I will have to doubt Xiao Zhu's ability to choose people."

Ren Zhiling did not feel that Ling Danzi was mocking her. She was just glad that Xiao Zhu did not hear this. Otherwise, Xiao Zhu would definitely ask Ling Danzi to return the money.

The next day, Ren Zhiling asked Ren Changdong to transfer all the guards and maids away from her courtyard. Then, Ling Danzi taught her how to refine pills.

Ren Zhiling could currently control one type of flame, and that was the flame on the Flaming Vine Whip.

Ling Danzi demonstrated the process of refining pills for her.

She watched Ling Danzi's movements without blinking. She found that although Ling Danzi's movements seemed casual, he was very familiar with the control of the flame.

Not long after, a cauldron of pills came out of the furnace. The pills were full and filled with spiritual power. Ren Zhiling was very envious.

Next, it was Ren Zhiling's turn to refine pills.

The first time, she did not control the temperature of the flame properly and the furnace exploded.

The second time, she was half a second late in putting in the spiritual plants and the furnace exploded.

The third time, she did not make any mistakes in the first two steps, but the furnace exploded again.

Ren Zhiling was very depressed. As expected, even if she had a cheat, she would not be able to become the main character.

In novels, the main characters succeeded in refining pills on the first try. They were not as stupid as her.

However, Ling Danzi was secretly criticizing her. In the past, he had spent an entire day to control the temperature of the flame. However, Ren Zhiling had already mastered it on the first try.

Could this be the so-called Lingzhu space's master's frightening point?

On the first day, Ren Zhiling's furnace exploded. There were many reasons for the furnace to explode, but she rarely made the same mistake twice.

On the second day, Ren Zhiling could already occasionally refine a cauldron of pills that were not full.

On the third day, the success rate of the second grade pills was 50%.

On the fourth day, she directly reached 100% success rate.

On the fifth day, Ling Danzi asked Ren Zhiling to refine the beast core of the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast into pills.

Ren Zhiling was very nervous. If this cauldron was destroyed, her beast core would be destroyed as well.

Looking at Ren Zhiling's pleading eyes, Ling Danzi said helplessly, "When you refine the pills later, add a drop of spiritual milk."

Spiritual milk was a good thing. After adding it, not only would the pills have more spiritual power, it could also guarantee the success rate of the pills to a certain extent.

"Thank you, Miss Xie."

With the help of this drop of spiritual milk, if Ren Zhiling's furnace still exploded, she might as well find a hole to hide in.

After two hours, Ling Danzi suddenly opened her eyes. The pills were complete.

Ren Zhiling smiled as she took out the pills. Looking at the three pills that were the same size and full, she narrowed her eyes proudly.

However, Ling Danzi did not forget to warn her, "Don't be too proud. Don't forget that you refined these pills with the help of the spiritual milk. This is not your true strength."

Ren Zhiling pouted when she heard this. Couldn't he let her be happy for a little while longer?

Ling Danzi: "… …" Little girls nowadays were really amazing.

When Ren Zhiling appeared in front of Ren Changdong again, she had already become a level 22 martial master.

This was already the seventh day since Ren Zhiling's return. Tomorrow, Ren Zhiling would leave home to study in the distant Zhong Province.

Ren Zhiling did not want Ren Changdong to be too sad, so she pretended to be happy and said, "Father, I'm already a level 2 alchemist."

"Lingling is really amazing!"

Joy overcame his sadness. Ren Changdong knew that for Ren Zhiling, leaving home was the best choice.

"Father, did you use the spiritual milk?"

Ren Changdong only took one drop. Although the spiritual milk was obviously more effective when used with medicinal herbs, he did not dare to trust the Master Fang at home. He was afraid that if the spiritual milk was exposed, it would bring disaster to the family.

Just like that, Ren Changdong's spiritual power increased by one level, reaching level 68 martial arts great master.

Ren Zhiling raised her hand and a white jade bottle appeared in her hand.

"Father, there's still spiritual milk inside. Don't use it sparingly, I still have a lot."

Seeing Ren Changdong's resistant expression, Ren Zhiling said, "Father, with my teacher's identity, these things are not rare in his eyes. I also left some for you, please accept them."

Ren Changdong's heart ached. His daughter had grown up and knew how to love her father.

… …

Just like the last time she left home, Ren Zhiling's storage ring was filled with things that Ren Changdong had prepared for her.

Originally, Ren Changdong had planned to accompany Ren Zhiling to Zhong Province. However, he knew that he could not leave Xin Bo County. When he heard Ren Zhiling say that her teacher would accompany her to Zhong Province, he could only helplessly give up.

In the morning, Ren Zhiling boarded the carriage and left Xin Bo County without bringing any maids.

What no one noticed was that Ren Zhiling picked up a person outside Xin Bo County.

Seeing Fu Nansi in simple clothes and carrying a small bag, Ren Zhiling said in surprise, "You only brought these things?"

Fu Nansi smiled shyly, "There's nothing at home that I can bring."
