“I said, just compensate us with yourself.” Rong Zi repeated to him very patiently.
"Give me back to you as compensation?" Qi Yufei was dumbfounded. "How? Do you expect me to give you my life?"
"Tsk, what are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of vicious person?"
Rong Zi gave him a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, no one wants to kill you."
Qi Yufei opened his lips as if to say something but hesitated, "Then what do you want to..."
Rong Zi straightened his clothes, sat up straight with a serious expression, and then said with a smile.
"All you need to do is become my apprentice."
Qi Yufei: Hmm?
Uh-huh? !
Qi Yufei's eyes widened in disbelief. "Sis! You...you're kidding me, right?"
Rong Zi blinked innocently and shook her head very seriously.
"No."
Qi Yufei was speechless.
He sat down by the bed, looked Rong Zi up and down, and then asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you should only be at the Qi Refining stage, right?"
Rong Zi nodded calmly.
"yes."
Qi Yufei raised his hand to his forehead, feeling that Rong Zi's suggestion was utterly absurd.
He said, "I don't mean to look down on those in the Qi Refining stage, but I am, after all, a Golden Core cultivator. Do you think it would be appropriate for me to be your disciple?"
“Why is it inappropriate?” Rong Zi raised an eyebrow. “My third disciple is still in the Nascent Soul stage.”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Ling Mo and asked, "My dear disciple, tell me, is it appropriate for you to take me, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, as your master?"
While asking the question, Rong Zi subtly gave Ling Mo a wink, signaling him not to undermine her and to give her, as her master, some face in front of her future fourth disciple.
Ling Mo: "..."
Ling Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Rong Zi, trying his best to cooperate.
"suitable."
Rong Zi slapped her thigh and glanced sideways at Qi Yufei, "Look, he thinks this Nascent Soul stage is suitable, and you're just a mere Golden Core stage cultivator, do you think you're being wronged?"
Qi Yufei: ...A mere Golden Core cultivator?
How could she, a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator, so easily and without batting an eye, claim that he was just a lowly Golden Core stage cultivator?
Qi Yufei hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't there any other way to compensate?"
A cultivator can only join one sect in their lifetime.
He possesses a top-grade fire elemental root.
The Yao Huo Sect, once the leader of the five major sects, even extended an olive branch to him, but he rejected it without hesitation.
He dislikes being restrained by others.
Besides, he doesn't lack cultivation resources, nor does he need the protection of a so-called major sect. Why would he want to squeeze into the same sect with so many other cultivators and suffer for no reason?
He doesn't join any sect.
The sky is high enough for birds to fly freely.
How awesome!
This also saves him from being constantly criticized by others for not practicing alchemy properly and instead focusing on how to concoct poisons.
He wouldn't even go to the Yao Huo Sect, let alone this pitifully small sect.
Rong Zi shook her head firmly, "No, we only accept this kind of compensation."
She glanced at her three apprentices and suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
“These past few days, my apprentices have been driven to the brink of mental collapse by you. The thought of this pains me deeply.”
The three apprentices watched Rong Zi perform silently without saying a word.
Honestly.
Their master's acting skills... are exceptionally bad.
Rong Zi tried to hold back a tear for a long time but couldn't shed a single one, and the expression on her face looked completely fake.
Despite this, she still performed with great enthusiasm.
"Actually, the biggest wish of my disciples is to have a junior brother. If you can fulfill their wish, they might feel a little better."
"They are like this now all because of you. You should become their junior brother, as compensation for their emotional distress."
Qi Yufei was speechless with emotion.
Is this how compensation for emotional distress can be awarded?
This is simply unheard of.
Although Qi Yufei is a pill cultivator, he has a bold and unrestrained personality and always acts on his whims, rarely getting bogged down in a particular matter.
But at this moment, he was conflicted and helpless.
Qi Yufei braced his hands on the edge of the bed, leaned forward, and stared straight at Rong Zi in front of him.
"Do you even know me? You just want me to be your apprentice?"
Rong Zi met his gaze without flinching and said in a cryptic tone, "I value fate. The moment I saw you, I felt we were destined to be together. I sincerely believe that we are destined to become master and disciple."
Qi Yufei: ...Is that even possible?
Qi Yufei raised his hand, pinched the space between his eyebrows, sighed, and said, "I am a pill cultivator."
Rong Zi nodded with a smile.
"Danxiu is good, I like it."
Qi Yufei hesitated for a moment, then added, "Moreover, I'm not quite the same as other proper alchemists."
"You're being indecent?" Rong Zi's eyes lit up, and she moved the stool she was sitting on forward a bit, leaning closer with a gossipy look on her face. "In what way? In terms of cultivation or private life?"
Qi Yufei nearly vomited blood, and replied loudly, "Of course it's about cultivation."
Does he look like the kind of person who has an improper private life?
"Oh." Rong Zi sat back down dejectedly.
What's so surprising about someone being unorthodox in their cultivation?
There are no serious cultivators in their Rongling Sect.
Ordinary people are not suitable to join their sect.
