“You don’t want to be friends anymore?”
Luo Yunzhu glared at Feng Tianlan. Her father saw Feng Tianlan as a good-for-nothing and had forbidden them from seeing each other—didn’t she know that? Feng Tianlan could see that Luo Yunzhu was so angry that her eyes brimmed with tears. When she thought about what she’d heard from Luo Yuanjie and her maid, she could guess what was going through Luo Yunzhu’s mind. Warmth filled her heart again.
Unlike Shen Yunya, Yunzhu was much more genuine, and she was moved by her authenticity. Feng Tianlan decided she would not be suspicious of everyone around her just because she’d been betrayed before. It wasn’t worth it.
“Wait here for me.” Feng Tianlan knew that nothing she said would persuade her, so she turned to pick up the ceramic bottle on the simple dresser and walked back. “Here. For you.”
“What’s this?” Luo Yunzhu opened the bottle and took out one round, gleaming pill. The herbs’ smell filled her nostrils. She opened her eyes wide and said, “This is…a Marrow Cleansing Pill.”
“Tianlan, how did you get this? Did you bid for this?”
“Eat this pill, and you won’t be a good-for-nothing anymore.”
After hearing Luo Yunzhu’s sudden outpour of concern, Feng Tianlan wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. “This is for you.”
“For me?” Luo Yunzhu was taken aback for a moment. Then, she quickly put the pill back into the bottle and returned it to Feng Tianlan. “I can’t accept this. You need it more than me. I’m really happy that you thought of me, but no.”
“I really don’t need it.” Feng Tianlan tried not to laugh as she watched Luo Yunzhu stubbornly refuse.
“You need it more…” Before she could finish her sentence, Luo Yunzhu saw Feng Tianlan use a little strength from her palm and move past her. She stared at her in shock. “You…you’ve managed to reach the First-stage Spiritualist level?”
The Spirit Gathering level could only create internal force, but once one reached the Spiritualist stage, one could create external force. Anybody who was in training would be able to sense this. Feng Tianlan nodded and smiled.
“You bought a Spirit Boosting Pill?” Luo Yunzhu couldn’t think of another logical reason for how this could have happened.
Feng Tianlan did not reply. Instead, she took out the pill furnace and ingredients for a Spirit Boosting Pill from her storage ring, adjusted the heat, then put the ingredients in one by one. Luo Yunzhu stared blankly with her mouth open as she watched Feng Tianlan expertly make the pills. She finally managed to close her mouth after watching the bright round Grade 9 Spirit Boosting Pills fly out of the oven.
She looked at Feng Tianlan as if Feng Tianlan were her idol and said, “You’re an alchemist?”
“For you.” Feng Tianlan put all five Grade 9 Spirit Boosting Pills into Luo Yunzhu’s hand.
Luo Yunzhu looked at the freshly made pills in her hand, still warm with a lingering smell of medicinal herbs. She gulped and said, “You’re giving all of them to me?”
She wondered, Is Feng Tianlan really giving me these invaluable pills like she’s giving away sweets?
“This one too.” Feng Tianlan put a Marrow Cleansing Pill into Luo Yunzhu’s hand.
Luo Yunzhu blinked, hard, unable to believe the six pills in her hand were real. She counted them again, inspecting them over and over. She confirmed that they were genuine, really expensive pills. And so many of them! It was as if she were in a dream.
Suddenly, she was afraid that this was all just a dream. Luo Yunzhu slapped herself hard across the face and felt the pain. She stared back at Feng Tianlan and said, “This is for real; it’s not a dream.”
“I made the Spirit Boosting Pills and Marrow Cleansing Pills that the Ruyi Trade House is putting up for auction. So, if you go bid for them, it wouldn’t make any sense for me,” Feng Tianlan said as she laughed gently.
Luo Yunzhu eyes opened even wider. She thought about the Grade 5 Nurturing Pill that she’d consumed earlier. She hurriedly asked, “So that Grade 5 Nurturing Pill…you made that too?”
