But now he had a headache about the future.

Back then, he accidentally met Ren Zhiling.

Then, he disguised himself as his current appearance.

But he couldn't live with his current face for the rest of his life.

When he returned to his original appearance.

He didn't know if Ren Zhiling would forgive him on account of their friendship. Probably not …

Fu Nansi didn't think too much.

He smiled and said, "Zhiling, eat first.

After you finish eating, we'll go and sign up. "

"Okay."

…

These two days, Fu Nansi was very peaceful. Perhaps Ren Zhiling's words had encouraged Zhang Yan a lot.

Other than eating, he cultivated in his room. Fu Nansi was finally free.

Ren Zhiling also closed her door and kept refining pills in the Lingzhu space.

But to advance from a second-grade alchemist to a third-grade alchemist was not something that could be done overnight.

Ren Zhiling looked at so many wasted spiritual plants.

Her heart ached so much that she was about to cry.

No wonder there were so few alchemists. Not to mention that their own attributes limited most people, those who were lucky enough to have wood and fire attributes might not have the financial resources to buy a large number of spiritual plants to practice.

Xiao Zhu noticed that Ren Zhiling looked at the waste from time to time and finally realized this problem. Like a rich person, she said in a childish voice, "Sister, don't feel bad. You have a lot of spiritual plants. If you feel that it's not enough, Xiao Zhu can help you plant more."

Ren Zhiling touched Xiao Zhu's cheek. She just hadn't adapted to the change from a poor person to a rich person …

Who would have thought that Ling Danzi would hear this and say, "It's fine if you don't want to improve, but you're so stingy.

Since that's the case …

In the future, the spiritual plants you use to refine pills will be grown by yourself! "

Ren Zhiling: "…"

Wood-attribute alchemists could use their own spiritual power to ripen spiritual plants.

But spiritual plants were not easy to ripen, so Ren Zhiling did not take this sentence seriously.

…

On the afternoon of the day before the competition, Ren Zhiling quietly went outside the school and booked a room at an inn near the school.

After closing the door of the room, Ren Zhiling released Ling Danzi from the Lingzhu space.

Ling Danzi was in the middle of refining pills when she suddenly appeared in the room of the inn with her alchemy cauldron. She was so shocked that the cauldron almost exploded.

Seeing Ling Danzi's glare, Ren Zhiling smiled awkwardly. She had deliberately released him without informing Ling Danzi.

Who knew that he was concocting pills?

After glaring at Ren Zhiling, Ling Danzi did not make a fuss about it. He had experienced how naughty this disciple of his could be. If he made a fuss about it, he would only get angry.

After another hour, Ling Danzi finally finished refining this cauldron of pills. This was a cauldron of fourth-grade pills, which Ling Danzi had specially refined for Ren Zhiling. The purpose was so that she would not embarrass him in the Outer Court Competition tomorrow.

Ren Zhiling happily accepted the elixir. The elixir refined by a ninth grade alchemist was priceless.

Seeing that Ren Zhiling was happy, Ling Danzi poured cold water on her and said, "If you can't enter the Inner Court by refining pills, then you must be in the top three in the competition."

In this competition, alchemists could participate in additional competitions, but first place did not guarantee that they would be accepted into the Inner Court. The teachers of the Inner Court would choose them based on the alchemist's situation and talent.

Ling Danzi had previously told Ren Zhiling that if one did not have the strength of a third-grade alchemist, the possibility of being selected into the Inner Court by refining pills was not high.

Ren Zhiling had not successfully refined a third-grade pill in the past three days. She thought that Ling Danzi would have to accept his fate. She did not expect that he would be waiting for her here.

No wonder he refined pills for her to raise her spiritual power level. He actually wanted her, a weak alchemist, to compete with other martial artists.

Ling Danzi was really scary.

Ren Zhiling suddenly felt that the pills she had accepted were like a hot potato.

To her despair, she found that Ling Danzi was serious. His eyes were full of certainty.

"Teacher, I'll contact the Dean." Ren Zhiling changed the topic.

Ling Danzi looked deeply at Ren Zhiling. He knew that Ren Zhiling was deliberately changing the topic, but he could not say anything to stop her.

"Go, go." Ling Danzi waved his hand. His eyes were astonishingly bright. It was obvious that he had been waiting for this for a long time.

Ren Zhiling took out the jade tablet that the Dean had given her that night from her space. The Dean had said that he had left a mark on the jade tablet. As long as she used her spiritual power, the Dean would be able to find her based on the location of the jade tablet.

Ling Danzi looked at the jade tablet in Ren Zhiling's hand. His aura could not help but become more intense.

Ren Zhiling thought that it would take a while for the Dean to arrive. Unexpectedly, after only two minutes, she heard a knock on the door. She quickly went to open the door.

Sure enough, it was the Dean standing outside.

Ren Zhiling whispered, "Teacher is in the inner room."

When she closed the door, the Dean had already walked into the inner room.

Ren Zhiling knew that the Dean and Ling Danzi had a lot to talk about. There were even some things that were inconvenient for her to know. Thus, she obediently waited in the hall.

When the Dean saw a man who looked older than him, he said in disbelief, "Ling Danzi?"

Ling Danzi's eyes instantly turned red. He called out, "Teacher."

Ling Danzi was the Dean's disciple. The Dean looked to be in his forties, but he was actually 150 years old.

"Where have you been for the past twenty years?

Why didn't you come to find me? "

The Dean had always been brooding over Ling Danzi's disappearance. At the time, he was already the Dean of Cangling College and a level nine alchemist. Although the Zhou Family was a super family, he was not afraid of them.

However, Ling Danzi did not want to cause trouble for him, so he did not tell him anything. He only found out after Ling Danzi disappeared.

"You actually dared to risk your life for a spiritual treasure?" The Dean became angrier as he spoke.

Ling Danzi was like a child in front of the Dean. He whispered, "Teacher, I was wrong. I was young and frivolous …" He had only been in the Lingzhu space for twenty years, but he felt like it had been forty or fifty years.

"Let's not talk about those useless things. Where's the spiritual treasure? I want to see what kind of spiritual treasure is worthy of you acting like this."

Ling Danzi said, "… Teacher, the spiritual treasure is broken."

For a moment, the Dean suspected that Ling Danzi was fooling him.

"Teacher, it's really broken. It blocked a fatal blow for me. Otherwise, how could I have escaped from the Zhou Family's Wu Sheng's attack?" Ling Danzi did not dare to look directly into the Dean's eyes because he was lying.

The Dean understood Ling Danzi's character. Moreover, Ling Danzi's words were reasonable.

Back then, he had received news that Ling Danzi and the Zhou Family's people had died together. However, he had never found Ling Danzi's corpse, so he was unwilling to give up on the thought that perhaps Ling Danzi was still alive.

Perhaps because Ling Danzi was too excited, his spiritual power leaked out uncontrollably. The Dean sensed Ling Danzi's spiritual power and asked in surprise, "You've become a ninth-grade alchemist?"

The Dean had thought that Ling Danzi would have lived a miserable life for the past twenty years, but the reality was completely different from what he had imagined. Ling Danzi's face was ruddy, and he did not look like he had been injured at all. He just looked a little older.

Moreover, he had been promoted to a ninth-grade alchemist. His spiritual power was very strong, and even as his teacher, he could not find any fault with it.

Even if Ling Danzi was by his side, he could not guarantee that he could successfully become a ninth-grade alchemist in twenty years.

"You … really profited from a disaster."

Ling Danzi did not dare to speak. He had not seen the light of day for twenty years in the Lingzhu space … Outsiders would not know how it felt.

After talking for a while, the Dean asked Ling Danzi the most guilty question. "Where have you been for the past twenty years? Why didn't you come and find me?"

"Teacher, I was recuperating in a remote village …" Ling Danzi slowly told the Dean the story he had fabricated.

The Dean looked at Ling Danzi, speechless. "So … you were afraid that the Zhou Family would come after you, so you stayed in the village for twenty years?"

Ling Danzi said guiltily, "Yes … that village had beautiful scenery. My promotion to a ninth-grade alchemist had something to do with my state of mind."

"You are so stupid. Don't you know how to ask around?" The Dean said lightly. "The Zhou Family is not a super family now. You don't have to worry about their revenge. They won't dare to provoke you anymore."

When the Dean learned that Ling Danzi had gone missing, he almost went crazy. The Zhou Family knew that Ling Danzi was his most valued disciple, but they dared to do so. That was not giving face to him and Cangling College.

It was also because of that incident that people knew that no matter who they offended, they should never offend a ninth-grade alchemist.

"Teacher, you are so good to me."

Ling Danzi was so moved that he was about to cry. If he had known earlier, he would not have begged Ren Zhiling to send him back to Cangling College. As a ninth-grade alchemist, he could do whatever he wanted in the Lingwu Continent.

However, he had already accepted him as his disciple, so there was no way he could ask for a refund.

He said, "Teacher, I have accepted a grand-disciple for you. She is the girl you met before."

Speaking of Ren Zhiling, although Ling Danzi looked disgusted on the surface, he liked her very much in his heart. He said very proudly, "Teacher, I think very highly of her. In the future, it is not impossible for three generations of our disciples to be ninth grade alchemists."

The Dean was a little surprised. Ling Danzi had always thought that he was the best in the world, but he had high hopes for a child. The Dean wanted to see what was so special about this child.

"Ling Ling, come and greet your grand-master."

Ren Zhiling was in a daze in the hall when she suddenly heard Ling Danzi's voice. She was startled.

She quickly walked into the inner room.

Ling Danzi said to her, "This is my teacher, your grand-master. Come and greet your grand-master."

Ren Zhiling bowed to the Dean in a daze. "Greetings, grand-master."

It seemed that she was really lucky. The Dean of Cangling College was her grand-master. Didn't that mean that she was the one with the most connections?

The carriage traveled for a day and a night. At noon on the second day, she arrived at the village closest to the Spirit Beast Forest.

There were people selling things and forming teams to hunt spirit beasts. There were a lot of shouting and yelling. It was very noisy.

Speaking of hunting spirit beasts, it was considered the fastest way for warriors in the Lingwu Continent to earn money. Even though they knew that it was a profession with the highest mortality rate, warriors still followed one after another.

There was no other reason than the fact that each Beast Core of a spirit beast was very expensive. Only with money could they buy more cultivation resources.

Most of the warriors in the Lingwu Continent were ordinary civilians. They didn't have that much money to buy cultivation resources.

Forming teams to hunt spirit beasts could increase the survival rate to a certain extent. Unfortunately, it was common for people to kill each other if they didn't divide the spoils equally.

Ren Zhiling didn't care about the noise around her. She ordered the coachman to let the carriage go straight ahead.

The carriage traveled for another half an hour before they arrived at the edge of the Spirit Beast Forest.

The carriage couldn't enter the forest. Ren Zhiling asked the coachman to stop at the side. She then paid the money and walked into the forest alone.

Most of the spirit beasts at the edge of the forest were low level spirit beasts. The closer to the center of the forest, the higher the level of the spirit beasts. Under normal circumstances, high level spirit beasts wouldn't take the initiative to walk to the edge of the forest.

It was very dangerous to spend the night in the forest. However, it was also a matter of luck for warriors to meet suitable spirit beasts.

In order to train Ren Zhiling's ability, Ling Danzi didn't come out of the Lingzhu space. He only reminded Ren Zhiling to let him out if she encountered any danger.

The forest was very beautiful. However, the more beautiful a place was, the more dangerous it was. Ren Zhiling walked in carefully.

The Scarlet Jade Flame Beast usually liked to live in places with plenty of sunlight. They would hide before the sun went down. They would only come out to bask in the sun when the sun was high the next day.

Now was the time when the sun was at its highest. Ren Zhiling hoped that she would be lucky enough to find the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast today. She didn't want to spend the night in the forest.

However, she didn't know if Ren Zhiling's luck was used up after she found the Lingzhu space. She didn't see the shadow of the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast for three days in a row.

After three days of constant tension, Ren Zhiling found that her body couldn't take it anymore.

"Teacher, can I leave the forest and rest for a while?" Ren Zhiling asked Ling Danzi.

Ling Danzi thought for a moment and replied, "You can go to the village outside the forest and rest for a day."

"Miss Xie."

When she left the forest, the moon had quietly climbed to the top of the sky. Ren Zhiling casually found an inn to stay in.

The conditions of the inn weren't good, but Ren Zhiling didn't mind. She was content to have a safe environment for a good night's sleep.

Ren Zhiling took out some Xiao Zhu's Lingquan from the Lingzhu space and poured it into the bathtub. Then, she took a nice bath.

When she woke up the next day, Ren Zhiling was full of energy. After a simple breakfast, she left the inn and headed to the Spirit Beast Forest again.

She was actually a bit hesitant. She shouldn't have taken Ling Danzi as her teacher.

She was a Buddhist girl. When she came to this world, she planned to grow spirit plants, refine pills, eat and drink, and live a carefree life.

But now … as a brittle alchemist, she had to enter the Spirit Beast Forest for a second time.

Forget it. Don't think about it. There's no point in thinking about it.

Casting aside these annoying thoughts, Ren Zhiling cautiously walked in the forest. Suddenly, she noticed that there was movement in front of her. A spirit beast was attacking her.

Most spirit beasts wouldn't take the initiative to attack martial artists, but there were also spirit beasts with bad tempers like the Hidden Poisonous Spider in front of her.

Ren Zhiling was just an ordinary girl. She also had the same weakness as ordinary girls. That was, she was afraid of insects.

Seeing the spider spitting poisonous silk at her, a Flaming Vine Whip suddenly appeared in Ren Zhiling's hand. Her eyes were full of disgust. With a swish, the Flaming Vine Whip in her hand whipped the spider away.

The Flaming Vine Whip was the innate ability that the original body obtained from absorbing the first beast core — the Giant Flaming Vine.

This was the first time that Ren Zhiling encountered a spirit beast that took the initiative to attack her. Fortunately, it was only a first rank spirit beast.

Following this, Ren Zhiling became more careful. Who knew if she would be so unlucky as to encounter another spirit beast that took the initiative to attack her again?

Fortunately, her luck wasn't bad this time. In the afternoon, when the sun was full, she happened to encounter a Scarlet Jade Flame Beast that was basking in the sun.

The Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's entire body was blood red and its body was petite. The premise was that one had to ignore the small flames that came out of its nose every time it breathed.

In a direct confrontation, Ren Zhiling was definitely not a match for the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast. The flames on her vine whip were also not as strong as the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's.

Thus, she asked for Ling Danzi's help.

Ling Danzi only wanted to train Ren Zhiling's ability. Knowing that it was impossible to let Ren Zhiling throw her life away, she didn't hesitate to come out of the Lingzhu space.

Looking at the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast that was still basking in the sun and unaware of the danger, Ling Danzi only lightly flicked her finger, and the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's entire body was surrounded by flames.

The Scarlet Jade Flame Beast struggled in the flames, letting out heart-wrenching howls.

While Ren Zhiling was still in a daze, Ling Danzi said, "Lingling, use your vine whip to viciously whip the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's head."

Ren Zhiling quickly came back to her senses, and a flaming vine whip suddenly appeared in her hand. Then, she waved the vine whip in her hand and forcefully whipped it down.

Ling Danzi saw that Ren Zhiling's expression showed that she couldn't bear to see the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast like this. He sighed and comforted her, "I know that you feel that the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast is very pitiful, but even the most harmless looking spiritual beasts are still ferocious. If I wasn't here today, the person who would be surrounded by flames would be you."

Ren Zhiling nodded and said respectfully, "Teacher is right."

She was just not used to it for a while. After all, she wasn't born and raised in the Lingwu Continent.

Ling Danzi wanted to say something, but when she remembered that Ren Zhiling was still a little girl, she pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She waved her hand again, and the flames on the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's body disappeared.

The Scarlet Jade Flame Beast lay on the ground, no longer breathing.

Ling Danzi said, "Go and take out the beast's core, and put the spiritual beast's blood essence in this bottle."

After speaking, he handed a bottle to Ren Zhiling.

Ren Zhiling took the bottle and walked over to the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's corpse with a serious expression.

After a while, Ren Zhiling endured the discomfort in her heart and returned to Ling Danzi's side with a pale face.

Seeing Ren Zhiling put away the beast's core and spiritual beast's blood essence, Ling Danzi sighed again, "Your temperament is really not suitable for cultivation. Fortunately, you have talent in alchemy."

Ren Zhiling didn't say anything. She was still trying to endure the churning in her stomach.

In the modern era, she hadn't even killed a fish. If she didn't have the memories of her original body, she probably wouldn't have dared to do it today.

Then, the two turned and walked back in the direction they came from. Ling Danzi didn't mention the idea of returning to the Lingzhu space. It seemed that he saw that Ren Zhiling's condition wasn't right and was afraid that her consciousness would be hurt by the spiritual beast.

After two hours, Ren Zhiling's expression finally improved. She said softly to Ling Danzi, "Thank you, Miss Xie."

Ling Danzi nodded proudly and then disappeared in front of Ren Zhiling's eyes.

After another two hours, Ren Zhiling suddenly saw a person not far in front of her. That person was lying on the ground and looked like he was seriously injured.
