“You darn fatso, why are you snatching mine when you have your own?”

“There isn’t any name written here, whoever bites it owns it, ahh… my hand…”

“Haha, you’ve said it, it’s mine now. Didn’t you always say that we should have class and know how to enjoy life? Just eat a little, you can enjoy the feast later on.”

“Who would think so much when they are hungry. Let’s talk about class after we’ve filled our stomachs. Delicious, I’ve never eaten something so tasty.”

The few servants in the surroundings were stunned. When the family head and Gao Ren appeared saying that they were hungry, they wanted to prepare a sumptuous meal immediately. They only understood what was happening after they ended up being scolded, then they took out some ready-made pastries and food in the kitchen.

Then, they witnessed a shocking scene. The family head and the fatso seemed like they had just escaped the war. Food that was sufficient for six to seven people was wiped clean by them instantly.

The fatso leaned against the chair and slapped his tummy. “This is so satisfying, food tastes better when you’re hungry.”

“No problem. I can fulfill your wish and provide you with only one meal every three days.” Ren Jie was even more exhausted when he cultivated using the Jade Emperor Refinement Chant. He might not have been able to survive until now if it hadn’t been because of the residual effects of the medication.

“Erm… In fact, everything tastes delicious to me.” Gao Ren changed his words immediately after he heard it and suddenly turned towards Ren Jie as if he suddenly recalled something. “Boss, I wasted three days and two nights because I was busy concocting the formula which you changed last time. What about you? What were you busy with that you didn’t even eat?”

Gao Ren forgot everything because he was so engrossed in making the poison, but he didn’t understand what could make the pampered family head of the Ren family starve.

“As the family head of the Ren family, one of the five aristocratic families in the Jade Capital, I’ve to be a role model who works hard and cultivates tirelessly,” Ren Jie said this with a serious face.

Work hard and tirelessly? Gao Ren almost burst into a laugh. Because anyone but Ren Jie could make that claim, it was such a joke.

“Just laugh if you want to, you look like you’re going to get a cramp on your face if you hold your laughter. Oh yea, how’s your progress on the formula?” Ren Jie found the way Gao Ren tried to contain his laughter hilarious. It was fine to tell the truth when it was the time for it. He knew without a second thought that nobody would believe him, anyway. Why did he need to lie if everyone was going to take what he said as a joke?

However, Ren Jie did not want to dwell on the topic. Hence, he changed the topic to the formula when he saw the fatso containing his laughter.

“Ha… ah… hee… no, no…” Gao Ren waved his hand and couldn’t contain his laughter no matter how hard he tried. He barely managed to stop himself from laughing as Ren Jie asked him about the formula.

“Rest assured. When things are in my hands, not only is this Multi Hallucinations poison made, I’ve also become a top-notch Apothecary as the poison I’ve made broke through the 100 mystic changes. I can make all types of top-notch potions from now on.” Fatso Gao Ren seemed very excited when this was mentioned, because not only was he able to refine top-notch potions, his ability to refine potions also improved drastically.

Top-notch Apothecary. As long as Gao Ren showed others about his achievement, he would become a celebrity in the Jade Imperial Academy. Once he became an alchemist, his status would be higher than most people in the Divine Power Realm. If top-notch Apothecaries in the big family clans were well respected, he would be highly respected too, especially when he was still a young student studying in the academy.

However, Gao Ren had never revealed the fact that he was an Apothecary. In the eyes of others, he was just a hooligan which Ren Jie found in the casino, just one of Ren Jie’s sidekicks who knew how to suck up to him.

Many years ago, there was a student who managed to become a top-notch Apothecary before he graduated, and it was said that he was taken away by a clan that refined potions. It gained pride for everyone in the Jade Imperial Academy for quite some time, but strictly speaking, that person was much older than Gao Ren.

“Multi Hallucinations, what a nice name. Okay, prepare for a while and then we’ll take action.” If it was someone else, even in a family clan, it would be really impressive for a junior to become a Miao Apothecary. However, Ren Jie had experienced too many miraculous things. And now that his status was higher and his horizon was broader, the achievement did not matter much to him. Although Gao Ren was a little excited, he did not think much about it and he would not express anything in front of Ren Jie because he managed to become a Miao Apothecary half a year ahead of his expectation because of Ren Jie. Furthermore, he never thought much about being a Miao Apothecary right from the very start.

If others were to know about their reactions, they would hit the roof. Even the family heads of the aristocratic families would not disregard someone who became a top-notch Apothecary at such a young age.

“What else is there to prepare? We’ve detested Fang Qi for such a long time, let’s go now.” The fatso jumped up when he heard it, excited to get started.

“Don’t rush.” Ren Jie took a look outside and recalled that it was dark when he returned here three days ago, and it was turning dark again. “Haven’t you heard of killing people at night, wait until it turns dark.”

It couldn’t be. Gao Ren realized that Ren Jie seemed to have changed completely after he had been hit.

He was so obsessed with Fang Qi previously. Of course, Ren Jie was crazy over any beauty, and he wouldn’t let Gao Ren say anything bad about them at all. However, he completely ignored all these now and seemed to dislike women even more than Gao Ren.

In addition, the entire matter about prescribing the medicine left Gao Ren in confusion even until now. If it could help him break through to top-notch Miao Apothecary, then it was probably as good as typical middle-grade Spirit Pills.

Gao Ren was even more shocked when Ren Jie said that he had to wait until night time before killing her. Why did he sound as though he was so good at killing people?

The skies were darkening just now and it was just before the skies turned dark completely. Therefore, darkness enveloped the skies just as fatso Gao Ren was in shock.

Ren Jie asked the fatso to rush to Fang Qi’s place even before the latter had the chance to ask him more questions.

Although the Jade Imperial Academy was an academy for the pampered, not everyone enjoyed the freedom as Ren Jie did. Ren Jie passed by people who were cultivating tirelessly, studying, and taking a walk after having their meals. People like Ren Jie and Fang Qi were the heirs of the five aristocratic families and they enjoyed a high level of freedom in the Jade Imperial Academy.

Just that, in the eyes of other people, Fang Qi and some of the other heirs of the five aristocratic families were rather normal and they would still attend the normal classes. In fact, most families even had special training programs privately. However, Ren Jie was the real pampered boy in everyone’s eyes, trash like him would suffer even if he was an heir from the five aristocratic families if he had not been so lucky. He was the scion of the Ren clan. Even though people knew that he was just a family head in name, they still had to respect him.
