In the following period, Little Doctor Fairy spoke much less.
She didn't pester Su Yun anymore, nor did she call out to go out to play, instead, she put a lot of effort into her cultivation.
Su Yun silently observed everything, and the little girl also sensed the dangers of the world.
Currently, Su Yun was searching through the memories of Yao Lao and the Ancient Heaven Devouring Serpent.
He was looking for a Soul Decision!
In "Dou Po", the exploration of the soul aspect was relatively rudimentary, far less profound than the study of Dou Qi.
However, some methods of cultivating the soul had been developed.
The Soul Decision was precisely a method of cultivating the soul.
Yao Lao's Soul Decision came from the Yao clan, originally a secret technique of the Yao clan, but Yao Lao did not pass on the Soul Decision he cultivated to Xiao Yan due to the constraints of the Yao clan. Instead, Xiao Yan cultivated the "Tai Yi Soul Decision".
If Su Yun remembered correctly, this "Tai Yi Soul Decision" was the champion's reward at the Pill Gathering held by the Pill Tower.
Su Yun also didn't intend to cultivate Yao Lao's Soul Decision. It wasn't because he was wary of the so-called Yao clan, but because he had something better.
During this period, he had been searching through the memories of the Ancient Heaven Devouring Serpent, and now he finally found it.
Su Yun felt the memories in his mind and smiled.
The memory of the Ancient Heaven Devouring Serpent was extracted from the remnants of the cave. Of course, it was impossible to obtain all of the Ancient Heaven Devouring Serpent's memories. He didn't know if he had the luck to find the Soul Decision.
But fortune favors the prepared mind.
His efforts were not in vain.
This Soul Decision had no name. It was obtained by the Ancient Heaven Devouring Serpent when it became a Battle Master. Its origin could no longer be traced.
He not only wanted to cultivate it himself but also planned to pass it on to Little Doctor Fairy. The method of resurrection was not to be used unless absolutely necessary, but having an extra option was always good.
Su Yun came to Little Doctor Fairy's room.
"Little Fairy."
Su Yun called gently.
"What's wrong, big brother?"
Little Doctor Fairy looked a little surprised. Big brother usually wouldn't come to her room. Did something happen?
Su Yun's expression was serious.
"Little Fairy, I'm going to pass on a secret technique to you now. This technique is extremely precious. No matter what happens, you must not reveal it. Understand?"
Little Doctor Fairy's expression also became serious.
"I understand, big brother."
She remembered every word her big brother said, and she would listen to her big brother in everything.
Su Yun didn't say much more.
Just one word of advice was enough. Little Fairy knew the importance.
After passing on the Soul Decision to Little Doctor Fairy, Su Yun instructed her to cultivate diligently and then left.
For the next period, Su Yun and Little Doctor Fairy kept a low profile.
Except for delivering refined pills to the Xiao Family at the beginning of each month, Su Yun spent most of his time in secluded cultivation.
It's worth mentioning that the middle-aged supervisor of the Mittel Auction House never gave up on trying to recruit him. Every month, when Su Yun didn't show up, he would wait at the gates of the Xiao Family. Su Yun was a bit helpless about this. This guy stuck to him like a plaster. However, he couldn't outright refuse him since a considerable portion of the medicinal ingredients he used to refine pills were purchased from the Mittel Auction House. Fortunately, the middle-aged supervisor was understanding, and his attitude was quite good. Moreover, every time they met, he would bring valuable gifts.
Su Yun would just go along with it.
They only met once a month, and if he got annoyed, he could just leave. Besides, there were gifts to collect; he wouldn't refuse them for nothing.
The former chairman of the Alchemist Guild, Lao Qian, had also approached him a few times to exchange alchemy experiences. It seemed that this old chairman had not given up on becoming a fourth-rank alchemist.
And so, a year passed in this manner.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Xiao Family, three elders and the patriarch Xiao Zhan were discussing matters.
"Xiao Zhan, how come there have been several instances of missing gold coins from the family's treasury in the past few months? Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
The eldest elder furrowed his brows and questioned Xiao Zhan.
"Oh, is that so? I'll check on it in a while," Xiao Zhan replied, seemingly surprised.
The eldest elder nodded, not dwelling too much on the matter.
Xiao Zhan's expression was calm, but there was a hint of unease in his eyes.
During this time, his third son, Xiao Yan, was preparing to break through to the Fighter Realm.
Su Yun's appearance had given Xiao Zhan some different thoughts.
Gathering Qi Pill!
Yes, he wanted to ask Su Yun to refine Gathering Qi Pills for Xiao Yan!
According to the rules of alchemists, alchemists only refine pills with their own ingredients, and they are rewarded additionally.
He had been gathering ingredients for this half a year ago.
But Gathering Qi Pills were extremely precious. Even just the ingredients were too expensive for a small family like his to afford.
He had secretly emptied his private funds during this time, but he had only managed to gather a small amount of ingredients.
Alchemists have a success rate when refining pills, and he didn't know how high Su Yun's success rate was in refining fourth-grade pills.
So for the past few months, he had quietly used the family treasury's money.
He thought he had been quite discreet, but he hadn't expected to be discovered.
It must be said that Xiao Zhan might not be a good patriarch, but he was definitely a good father.
...
At this moment, Su Yun was tidying up his clothes, changing into Han Li's vest, preparing to go to the Xiao Family.
After a year of cultivation, he had reached the cultivation level of a Nine-Star Fighter!
He was very satisfied with his current cultivation level.
The cultivation system of this continent was quite difficult regarding Qi Cultivation, and it became easier after becoming a Fighter. The difficulty of subsequent realms gradually increased.
It took him a year to break through from a Fighter to a Fighter, and now it would only take him a year to reach the Great Fighter Realm.
He was very content with this speed.
The reasons for such progress were twofold.
Firstly, the high-level "Frozen Cold Decision" had a significant effect on his cultivation. With a higher-level technique, his cultivation speed was much faster than when he was at the Advanced Yellow Rank.
Secondly, the pills.
As a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, he naturally didn't skimp on refining pills for himself.
Little Doctor Fairy's cultivation hadn't progressed much, and she was still at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Su Yun didn't find this unexpected. The Catastrophic Poison Body wasn't a joke. Despite her current cultivation level, once activated, her cultivation would skyrocket much faster than his.
Su Yun arrived at the entrance of the Xiao Family. As
expected, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were waiting for him.
This had been the case for the past year. Obviously, the identity of a Fourth-Grade Alchemist made them not dare to neglect him.
Su Yun was once again invited into the hall, exchanged pleasantries with them, took out the pills from the storage ring, drank some tea, and was about to leave.
"Master Han, please wait."
Su Yun was stopped by Xiao Zhan.
"I have some personal matters to ask Master Han to help with. I wonder if it's convenient?"
Xiao Zhan said with a smile.
"Oh, I see. Patriarch Xiao, if you have any requests, please speak."
Su Yun nodded politely.
