An hour later.
Rong Zi and Yun Jing buried the coffin, which had been broken in one corner, in the cemetery together.
Yun Jing knelt before a wooden tablet carved from simple planks, her eyes and nose red, with glistening tears trembling in her eyes.
Rong Zi couldn't bear it, so he squatted down and looked at Yun Jing, asking, "Would you be willing to follow me and join my Rongling Sect to cultivate, and strive to make a name for yourself in the cultivation world in the future?"
Yun Jing was taken aback and looked up at her.
"Is my sister really the leader of a cultivation sect?"
Rong Zi straightened his back and adopted a more composed demeanor. "What? Doesn't seem like it?"
Yun Jing remained silent.
Although he did not respond, his eyes clearly showed suspicion when he looked at Rong Zi.
Although Rong Zi was much older than him, he looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old at most.
He's just young, not stupid.
Rong Zi: "..."
The silence... was truly deafening...
Rong Zi coughed lightly, then steeled himself and reached out to pat Yun Jing's head, teaching him in an elder's tone: "Yun Jing, remember, judging people by their appearance is never a good idea. Don't always use your eyes to see, but use your heart to understand. Furthermore, a person's status and ability are not determined by age."
Although she really has no status now.
No status whatsoever...
Yun Jing blinked. "But, aren't eyes for seeing?"
Rong Zi: That seems... to make sense...
With a helpless sigh, she simply stopped pretending and stood up, tapping Yun Jing's forehead with her finger.
"Since that's the case, then take a good look at your current situation with your own eyes. You've become an orphan who can't support yourself. If no one protects you, your life will be in danger. But if you come with me, at least you'll have food to eat in the future, and you definitely won't starve."
Yun Jing listened quietly, her eyes flickering slightly.
The next moment, he tilted his head back and took the initiative to grab Rong Zi's sleeve.
"Okay, I'll go with my sister."
Rong Zi: "..."
Goodness.
He helped him achieve great things in the cultivation world, and he couldn't be shaken.
In the end, he won me over with a single bite of rice...
In order to have food to eat in the future, Yun Jing 'willingly' became Rong Zi's apprentice.
The black jade stone successfully recognized its owner through blood and was placed around Yun Jing's neck.
After the jade stone recognized its owner, Rong Zi discovered that it was actually a storage artifact with a considerable internal space.
Although not as powerful as the Primordial Ring, it can still store living things.
Since Rong Zi promised that she would never let Yun Jing starve to death, her top priority now is to earn money as soon as possible to solve the problem of food and clothing for the two of them.
...
the next day.
In a talisman supply store on Shuangyuan City Street.
Yun Jing clutched her small purse, her face full of heartache and reluctance.
Didn't they say that as long as you follow your master, you'll have food to eat?
Why does the Master ask him for money when he buys things?
Rong Zi stared at the purse in Yun Jing's hand and began to deceive him without batting an eye.
"You don't understand, do you? This isn't spending money, this is investing to make money."
Yun Jing asked in confusion, "Making money through investment?"
“That’s right!” Rong Zi put one hand behind his back and clenched the other into a fist, his tone indignant and impassioned. “As the head of a sect, do you think I, your master, would be short of your little bit of money? The reason I did this is actually for you, to teach you how to make money from money and take the first step towards becoming rich.”
"Think about it. Your master is so skilled that I can easily make us rich and earn a lot of spirit stones just by showing off my skills. But as your master, how can I keep such a good thing to myself?"
"So, the reason I'm asking you to spend a little money is actually to give you an opportunity to cooperate with your master, me, a chance to personally experience my way of making money, and to give you even more opportunities."
These words left even Cai Niu, who was perched on her shoulder, stunned.
If it weren't for the fact that Rong Zi's assets were cleaner than her face,
Even it almost believed her...
Under Rong Zi's relentless CPU, Yun Jing used all of his remaining eighteen low-grade spirit stones to buy talismans.
Three talisman papers and one low-grade spirit stone.
I only bought six talismans in total.
As for spirit ink and talisman brush.
Even the lowest grade of spirit ink requires a mid-grade spirit stone.
Not to mention talisman brushes.
Fortunately, Rong Zi found a book in the Hongmeng Ring that specifically introduced how to make spirit ink.
Spirit ink is mainly composed of the blood of spirit beasts, charcoal, and water.
After buying the talisman, the two returned to Yun Jing's house and ate the last of the cornbread and wild vegetable soup that Yun Jing had left to fill their stomachs.
After finishing eating, Rong Zi ignored Cai Niu's howling and grabbed one of its legs to draw some blood, which he then used to make spirit ink.
After making the spirit ink, she went to the corner of the wall in Yun Jing's yard and picked a few foxtail grasses, which she tied to a chopstick to use as a talisman brush.
After everything was ready, Rong Zi began to draw the talisman.
Yun Jing stood on tiptoe, rested her chin on the table, and stared wide-eyed at Rong Zi's actions, asking a question in a low voice.
"Master, are we really not short of money?"
Even the talisman brush had to be replaced with foxtail grass.
Why did he feel that his master was not at all like she said, who seemed to be quite well-off?
Rong Zi felt as if she had been stabbed hard in the chest.
Tears welled up inside her, but on the surface she had to put on a noble and virtuous appearance and said to Yun Jing in a serious tone, "You don't understand. People improve through trials and tribulations. True strong people, no matter what the process is, can achieve unexpected results in the end."
