The criteria to become a gold cultivator were extremely stringent. Only those with the natural gift could take up the practice of gold cultivation—it didn’t matter how hardworking one was. The level of achievement attained by gold cultivators depended wholly on their innate talent—no amount of hard work would help them.

Ji Fengyan never expected this Xi Sinong to be a gold cultivator. It must be pointed out that gold cultivators were even rarer than pharmacists. The practice of gold cultivation mostly went against the laws of nature, and the cultivators were usually physically much weaker than normal people. Their lifespans would also shorten in proportion to their progress in the practice of gold cultivation.

It could be said that gold cultivators were second only to Terminators as a profession. Nevertheless, they both bore the same tough fates.

Perhaps Ji Fengyan and Junze reacted too obviously, causing Xi Sinong to lower his head in embarrassment. His ears turned crimson red.

“Awesome! Little Nong, I couldn’t tell you are actually so capable.” Junze patted Xi Sinong’s shoulder with a smile. Compared to a gold cultivator, a pharmacist was not that uncommon anymore.

Junze had originally felt rather smug when he first received notification to enroll in the school of pharmacy. In the end…

With little effort, he had already met two students, each better than the other.

Embarrassed by Junze’s words, Xi Sinong shook his lowered head in humility.

Ji Fengyan had never met a gold cultivator before. She had only heard Linghe and the rest talk about them. It was rumored that due to their extraordinary talents, gold cultivators had weird personalities and were extremely difficult to get along with.

But…

Looking at this red-faced Xi Sinong, those rumors appeared completely unfounded.

The three of them sat around the bonfire under the night sky. Xi Sinong’s condition did not improve despite Junze feeding him medicine several times. Full of worry, Junze dug out yet another pile of medicine bottles, ready to stuff them all into Xi Sinong’s mouth. Xi Sinong’s face paled at the sight. Thankfully, Ji Fengyan managed to dissuade Junze with the explanation that the earlier medicines probably hadn’t taken effect yet.

Even after Junze had fallen into a deep slumber, Xi Sinong still couldn’t get to sleep. All those medicines churning in his stomach triggered waves of nausea and made him heave.

Sitting by the bonfire, Ji Fengyan looked over at Xi Sinong before glancing at the snoring Junze. She stood up resignedly and walked over to Xi Sinong.

Xi Sinong looked at the approaching Ji Fengyan with questioning eyes.

Ji Fengyan took out a bottle of elixirs and placed it in Xi Sinong’s hand.

“I am giving this to you. Do you dare to eat it?” Ji Fengyan smiled sinisterly.

Xi Sinong opened the bottle and smelled a delicate, clean fragrance. Tipping the bottle in his hand, a few black pills of varying sizes rolled onto his palm.

Xi Sinong’s eyes flashed. He quickly raised his hand to stuff those foreign objects into his mouth.

Fortunately, Ji Fengyan was fast enough to hold back his wrist.

“One pill at a time, once a day.” Xi Sinong’s honest-to-goodness character tickled Ji Fengyan. He would have suffered a massive nosebleed from over-nourishment if he had swallowed all those elixirs at once.

Xi Sinong nodded obediently before swallowing one pill.

Ji Fengyan retreated to the side and sat down. She grinned at Xi Sinong. “You are not afraid I would harm you.”

Xi Sinong turned red. “You are my saviour. I am only alive because of you.”

Ji Fengyan chuckled. Without another word, she leaned against a nearby tree and fell asleep.
