"Is your name Yi Tian, ​​or Yi Tian?"

Fang Ruotang stared speechlessly at this so-called Yi Tian, ​​who had actually given her an alias.

"I……"

"Or should you be called Lin Bufan?"

Fang Ruotang never expected that she would run into someone here who turned out to be Qin Bao'er's ex-fiancé, with whom she had broken off their engagement.

Lin Bufan was also taken aback.

After his spiritual roots were reshaped, he traveled across the continent under the alias Yi Tian.

No one recognized him, not because he had any powerful disguise treasures, but because he was currently at the Foundation Establishment stage, and his former fellow cultivators were no longer on the same path as him.

Furthermore, he will actively avoid people he knows from the past.

Regardless of the other person's character.

Okay, he doesn't want to be pitied.

Bad, he didn't want to be humiliated.

So he left the city where he lived. He expected to run into people he knew when he came to the secret realm, but he took a disguise pill and did not expect to be recognized.

He had no recollection of who this person was.

If he had known such a distinguished senior before, he couldn't possibly have no recollection of them.

"I don't know who you are, senior..."

"Oh, it's me! I'm Qin Bao'er's master. I learned about you from her. Qin Bao'er has also come to the secret realm. If you come with me, you might be able to see her later."

"So it was Master. I was very rude just now. I hope Master will forgive me." As Lin Bufan spoke, he knelt down and performed the disciple's salute.

Fang Ruotang tilted her head to look at him, not quite understanding what he meant.

He can't possibly still be hung up on Qin Bao'er, can he?

"Get up and speak! Even Bao'er doesn't show me this much respect." Fang Ruotang teased with a smile, then casually recounted their first meeting and the reason for their becoming disciples.

"You two are quite destined to provoke me."

"Master, you flatter me. I dare not accept such praise."

Fang Ruotang raised an eyebrow at him and waved her hand.

"Fine! You can come along if you want!"

She didn't know what was going on between the Qin and Lin families, and Qin Bao'er hadn't told her anything about what would happen between her and Lin Bufan, but looking at Lin Bufan now, he seemed like a very resilient person.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to do some chores for her in the secret realm.

"I didn't know you were someone I knew. I was too harsh on you earlier, so this is just an apology." Seeing that Fang Ruotang treated Lin Bufan very well, Fan gave him a pill.

The porcelain bottle contained something that Lin Bufan didn't know what it was.

He didn't dare accept it.

"Senior, you flatter me. I was arrogant just now. I am already extremely fortunate that you did not hold it against me. How could I possibly accept anything from you again?"

Fang Ruotang, like a passerby watching a spectacle, craned her neck to peek and asked curiously, "What did you give me?"

"It's a top-grade Enhancing Vitality Pill. He's about to form his core, and taking it during this period will improve his cultivation and increase his vital energy," Fan patiently explained to Fang Ruotang, and then took out another bottle.

This bottle is about the size of a vase.

Fang Ruotang took it, held it in her hands and shook it. There was a clanging sound inside, which made it clear that there were many seeds. She then shamelessly asked.

"Let me see it, or are you giving it to me?"

"for you."

"Okay, thank you!"

Fang Ruotang, believing that friends should give and take, asked enthusiastically, "What would you like to eat for dinner later? I have all kinds of mortal food here, let's eat together!"

"Want more?" Vandu was dumbfounded.

He couldn't even remember not having eaten mortal food for hundreds or thousands of years.

They didn't even understand why Fang Ruotang wanted to eat it.

Isn't that troublesome?

After eating, impurities remain in the body, which need to be dealt with.

"You don't want to eat?"

"No, how about we go and capture a food cultivator right now and have him cook for us? There are also cultivators in the secret realm who have attained enlightenment through food. Let's go and meet him?"

"Sure!"

Fang Ruotang's eyes lit up. When she mentioned food, she forgot about the six people who were chasing after her until they were out of sight. She found it somewhat amusing to see Lin Bufan holding the bottle, unsure whether to put it away or not.

“Just take it! You need the Enhancing Essence Pill anyway! These aren’t important things to Fan. Since he gave them to you, just take them! If you feel bad, you can repay him in other ways, within your ability.”

Fang Ruotang doesn't like things being passed around.

She accepts gifts from others.

The main reason is that she is more generous. She almost never takes advantage of others. It's good enough if she is not taken advantage of herself, so she doesn't feel burdened by taking small things from others.

Anyway, I can repay this favor.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Senior."

Lin Bufan accepted the Enhancing Vitality Pill.

Fang Ruotang randomly chose a direction and walked ahead. When she saw Fan and Lin Bufan following her, she paused, turned her face away, and gestured for Fan to go first.

Fan immediately stepped forward to walk alongside her, saying, "The secret realm is quite large, and I don't know where we can meet fellow cultivators who practice food cultivation. Why don't we go in this direction?"

Fang Ruotang gave Fan a meaningful look.

I believed your lies.

You wouldn't know.

But his saying this implies that he didn't choose the wrong path.

The three of them seemed to be walking normally, but that was not the case. Lin Bufan was clearly struggling to keep up with them and was only doing so because Fang Ruotang kept turning around to wait for him.

Lin Bufan was very embarrassed. He fell behind again and caught up once more. When he saw Fang Ruotang and Fan waiting ahead, he blushed and stepped forward with his head down.

"Master, your disciple is utterly incompetent."

"Yes, a little! But it doesn't matter. If you're bad, just practice more. Being bad now doesn't mean you'll always be bad. As long as you're not both bad and lazy and stagnate, that's fine. Nobody is born amazing."

Fang Ruotang felt she had delivered a dose of inspirational wisdom, and she was quite satisfied.

After saying that, he nodded in self-praise.

Regardless of whether Lin Bufan listened or not, she just kept talking, and after saying what she wanted to say, she turned around and left.

Lin Bufan looked at Fang Ruotang's back with admiration, while also envying Qin Bao'er, who not only had a powerful master as her teacher, but also a gentle and meticulous master who spoke in a pleasant voice.

Fang Ruotang is now used to receiving the faith of the people; otherwise, Lin Bufan would have given her quite a lot of offerings just now.

However, Fang Ruotang's current base is too large. The entire Dayong Dynasty is like a cult, with the whole population being Fang Ruotang's believers.

Therefore, Lin Bufan's little scheme was like a drop of water in the ocean, and did not attract Fang Ruotang's attention at all.

"Hey, are there people fighting up ahead?"

Fang Ruotang has excellent hearing; if she wants to hear something, no sound in the vicinity can escape her ears.

However, she is not the only one with this ability.

Any cultivator who reaches a certain level can do this; they can project their divine sense thousands of miles away.
