Chapter 9

Just now, Su Yu blocked Ren Jie’s path, clearly looking for trouble, and immediately a crowd gathered to watch the spectacle. Such incidents were the most popular at the Jade Emperor Academy; after all, those who enjoyed watching the show never thought it was too much, and most of the students at the Jade Emperor Academy were rich brats.

But everyone was stunned at the moment, as everything happened too quickly. No one expected Ren Jie to neither dodge nor come out to talk to Su Yu, nor even to counterattack. Instead, he directly had his spirit beast carriage ram them away.

If this went wrong, it could kill someone. A spirit beast carriage, if it really broke free and went mad, was something even a person at the Divine Ability Realm couldn't control. And anyone who could use a spirit beast carriage would be avoided by others.

Only Ren Jie, whom others wouldn't pay much attention to, was unexpectedly so... formidable today.

What was even more unexpected was that after ramming them away, Ren Jie simply threw out some gold tickets and left.

Left... left...

This was too... too exaggerated. This guy actually...

The style and the manner were more arrogant than actually beating someone up or calling his subordinates to do it. When did Ren Jie become so cool?

The people around were stunned. At this moment, some of Su Yu's followers who weren't seriously injured, for some reason, didn't go to help Su Yu like the others. Instead, they picked up the gold tickets.

"Master, this is..."

"Damn it, go to hell, you actually picked up the money. Does the Su family lack this much money? If you dare to pick up the money, I'll... I'll..." Su Yu was in excruciating pain from the collision. Seeing one of his followers do this, he was even more furious. He immediately lashed out at this guy, who was helping him up, and kicked him away, cursing in anger.

As a result, the pain from the collision in his chest intensified, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The followers were immediately frightened and carried him away to get treatment.

At this moment, Ren Jie, lying in the carriage, felt a bit better. It seemed that letting off steam was indeed a good way to relieve pressure. Just like when he first came to this world and had a confrontation with the Second Elder, Ren Junyang, and others.

Since he had become Ren Jie and a part of this circle of rich brats, Ren Jie would absolutely not be someone who was bullied and lived a miserable life. Being a miserable rich brat was not as good as being an ordinary person who lived in peace.

If he didn't want to be bullied and didn't want to be a miserable rich brat, he had to be even more of a rich brat than these others. He had the capital, and the previous Ren Jie didn't know how to use it, but he certainly wouldn't be like him.

"Beast Uncle, you were awesome." Thinking about the scene just now, Ren Jie felt comfortable and grateful for Beast Uncle's performance.

He executed without any hesitation and had a good grasp of the situation.

In Ren Jie's memory, he didn't seem to have communicated with Beast Uncle before. Beast Uncle used to drive for his father, Ren Tianxing, because a spirit beast carriage wasn't something anyone could control, and it was very special. Therefore, Beast Uncle's status was also quite special.

Back then, Ren Tianxing had instructed that Beast Uncle was only responsible for controlling the spirit beast carriage and only needed to answer to the head of the family. So, except for the head of the family, Beast Uncle didn't need to pay attention to anyone else in the Ren family.

Beast Uncle never spoke, always wearing a large hat and leaning against the spirit beast carriage when there was nothing to do. The previous Ren Jie had tried to communicate with Beast Uncle, but all attempts failed. Inviting him to dinner, giving him things, or talking to him, he wouldn't respond.

Awesome? Beast Uncle, who was controlling the spirit beast carriage and gradually arriving at Ren Jie's residence, was slightly stunned. What does 'awesome' mean?

He still didn't speak, but thinking about the scene just now, a hint of surprise and a slight smile appeared on his face under the large straw hat. The head of the Ren family should be like this.

Beast Uncle didn't respond, and Ren Jie didn't press the issue. He got out of the carriage and politely called out to Beast Uncle to rest. Ren Jie then stepped into the residence that took four months to build.

Choosing a place to build his own residence at the academy, although it was a bit exaggerated and famous at the Jade Emperor Academy, Ren Jie remembered that the previous Ren Jie was scolded for four hours by the Second Elder and others because of this.

Of course, Ren Jie also remembered clearly that the one who encouraged him to build a house in this slightly remote area was the 'high person' by his side. At that time, this guy talked about it in a very convincing way.

"Boss, you're finally back. This time you broke the record. These elders are really persistent, two days and one night. This time, they won't really cut the budget again, right? If they do, what will happen to my research? If this continues, we won't even be able to afford food in the future." The fat, white, and plump guy, Gao Ren, had already come forward.

Seeing that Ren Jie didn't respond, Gao Ren thought he was scolded and the budget was cut again.

Looking at Gao Ren, Ren Jie smiled and said, "I think you shouldn't call me boss, just call me 'meal ticket' directly. Look at how painful you are when you talk about cutting the budget."

"Uh..." Gao Ren was stunned for a moment, then clasped his hands and smiled, "Meal ticket is good. If you like it, I can call you 'meal ticket boss.' I think 'meal ticket' is the greatest compliment. Think about it, even your meals depend on you, which means you control life and death. So, boss, you're the best. 'Meal ticket' is an attitude, it shows who feeds me. How about I call you 'meal ticket boss' from now on?"

Ren Jie pointed out that Gao Ren cared more about money and food, but after hearing Gao Ren's 'meal ticket theory,' he wanted to give him a thumbs up.

Look, this is the epitome and pinnacle of flattery. He didn't even try to defend himself and directly elevated 'meal ticket' to a high level.

Seeing how painful Gao Ren looked when talking about cutting the budget, Ren Jie intentionally teased him to see his reaction. He didn't expect Gao Ren to say such impressive words. What a talent!

"Flattery is very comfortable, I won't hold it against you for valuing money more than me. But don't worry, they didn't cut the budget this time."

"Wow, that's great! I thought I was done for this time. In that case, I can order more things. Meal ticket boss, you're so cool." Gao Ren jumped up half a meter, shouting excitedly.

"Sweat!" Meal ticket boss, Ren Jie was speechless. He just wanted to tease him, but Gao Ren took it to another level.

Lifting his head, he saw the house he had just come out of, from which a strong medicinal smell was emanating, clearly a pharmacy.

"Oh, my medicine..." Seeing Ren Jie look at the pharmacy, Gao Ren suddenly realized there was medicine inside and quickly rushed in.

Ren Jie also stepped into the pharmacy. In the original Ren Jie's memory, there was no recollection of this pharmacy. He had been here for more than half a year and had never come in. The room was quite spacious, about 150 square meters. Apart from a few furnaces in the middle for boiling medicine, the rest were various medicinal herbs.

At this moment, Gao Ren was busy. Ren Jie glanced around the room and his eyes fell on a medicine table where some medicines had just been prepared.

Several dozen medicines were laid out there. Just a glance made Ren Jie pause. This feeling was just like when he first read a book, a natural reaction. Looking at those medicines, Ren Jie could already imagine the effect of mixing them together: a powerful, extremely powerful laxative, enough to be fatal for ordinary people. Even those at the eighth or ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm would suffer greatly and struggle to control it.

"Thousand-foot Liquid, Hemp Bark, Blood-Activating Grass, then add some Fire Lizard Blood and Love Root Grass." Looking at these dozen medicines, Ren Jie could clearly understand what effects they would produce. He also knew who Gao Ren's medicine was for.

After his rebirth, he had no intention of dealing with Fang Qi, the woman. The previous Ren Jie was infatuated with her, but now Ren Jie already disliked her from memory. If this woman didn't provoke him again, he wouldn't care about the past. But now she was relentless, killing the previous Ren Jie and now trying to get him.

Since that's the case, he absolutely couldn't let her off easily. If she wants to play, he'll play with her.

"What?" At this moment, Gao Ren, who had just adjusted the fire in a few furnaces, turned to look at Ren Jie when he mentioned the medicine.

"I mean, add more Thousand-foot Liquid, Hemp Bark, Blood-Activating Grass, then some Fire Lizard Blood and Love Root Grass to your medicine." Ren Jie repeated.

Gao Ren's plump face was slightly stunned, thinking he had heard wrong. The previous Ren Jie never came here, and even if he needed something, he would send someone to notify him. What was going on today?

Not only did he come in, but he also said the names of so many medicinal herbs. Although these herbs weren't rare, it was still...

Gao Ren looked at the medicine he had prepared but not yet boiled, and his eyes gradually changed.

Come on, what a joke, a coincidence, it must be a coincidence, but could it be this coincidental?

These herbs weren't special, but they had various reactions with the seventeen herbs he had prepared. Thousand-foot Liquid reacted with three of them to produce a highly toxic effect, Hemp Bark with five of them caused discomfort, Blood-Activating Grass was even more dangerous, causing a highly toxic reaction that could kill even a True Qi Realm person. Then there were Fire Lizard Blood and Love Root Grass, which were incompatible with many of the seventeen herbs. It was extremely difficult to name herbs that were incompatible and conflicting with these, and even more difficult to name herbs that were incompatible with each other. It was harder than naming the formula for a mid-grade or even high-grade potion.

Gao Ren originally opened his mouth to say Ren Jie was joking, but his expression became increasingly serious. Although he was now a Senior Alchemist, he knew that even a regular Spirit Pill Master might not have as much knowledge and analytical ability as he did.

If a regular Senior Alchemist, or even a top Senior Alchemist, heard this, they would certainly sneer or even curse. This was simply nonsense, insulting the alchemists who formulated potions. It was like suggesting someone sprinkle salt on a wound, then honey, and then let ants play on it, or insisting on finding brides for cats, claiming it was for their offspring.

But Gao Ren had a vague feeling that even if he tried, he could only think of three herbs that were completely incompatible and conflicting with these. Thinking of five was already very difficult.

"Three, seven... seventeen... five..." Gao Ren muttered, then suddenly rushed forward, grabbing Ren Jie's hands, looking at him in disbelief, "One hundred and seventy-five... there are actually one hundred and seventy-five toxic reactions. Even a top Senior Alchemist couldn't achieve this. Oh my God, meal ticket boss, how did you think of this? Don't tell me you just said it off the top of your head. I won't believe it even if you beat me to death."
