Su Yun once again politely declined Kuang Tang's invitation.
The progress in his cultivation over the years had given Su Yun some confidence. A family like the Mitel Family was simply not worth attaching himself to.
Leaving the Mitel Auction House, Su Yun headed to the Alchemist Guild.
He had long been planning the matter of refining the Strange Fire. He had previously asked Luo Qianchen and Kuang Tang to search for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.
There had been no news from Kuang Tang's side so far, but Luo Qianchen had some news.
The connections of alchemists were broader after all. Although Kuang Tang was from the Mitel Family, he was only a Great Fighter and had not touched the core of the Mitel Family's power.
According to the information Luo Qianchen sent some days ago, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring should be in Luo Qianchen's hands today.
The increase in strength and the acquisition of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring were like a double blessing.
Su Yun went to the Alchemist Guild and met Luo Qianchen.
"This is what you wanted."
Luo Qianchen stroked his beard and took out the Ice Spirit Cold Spring from his spatial ring.
Su Yun was delighted and smiled as he stored the Ice Spirit Cold Spring into the system space.
"I appreciate your help, Luo lao."
Luo Qianchen was curious and didn't quite understand the usefulness of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to Su Yun.
The Ice Spirit Cold Spring was a rare item, and it was fortunate that he had a friend with the strength of a Dou Ling who had this item. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to obtain it.
Although curious, Luo Qianchen didn't inquire further. After all, everyone had their own secrets.
Su Yun took out a copy of a fourth-grade pill prescription from the system space and handed it to Luo Qianchen.
"Lao Luo, this is a fourth-grade pill prescription I wrote down with my soul power during this period. Consider it as compensation for this favor."
Luo Qianchen was somewhat surprised. "For me?"
Pill prescriptions were not easy to make. It wasn't simply a matter of writing with a pen on parchment; it required the alchemist to use soul power to write on specially made scrolls, with a high failure rate.
For example, the copy of the pill prescription that Fa Ma gave to Xiao Yan for the Three-Lines Green Spirit Pill took Fa Ma a long time to write, and it was only a one-time-use copy.
"Lao Luo, please accept it. The Ice Spirit Cold Spring is very useful to me, and you deserve this."
Although reluctant, Luo Qianchen couldn't resist his inner desire and took the scroll from Su Yun.
"In that case, I'll accept it."
Luo Qianchen put the scroll into his spatial ring, with a smile on his face, making him appear amiable.
Su Yun nodded as he saw Luo Qianchen accept it.
This item was very precious to ordinary alchemists, but it was quite common to him.
The difficulty in writing pill prescriptions mainly lied in the high failure rate, but with the rich experience of Medicine Elder, he succeeded in one try without spending much time.
It's said that having an old person at home is like having a treasure. Su Yun had thought about obtaining Xiao Yan's spatial ring before. After all, he had Medicine Elder's memories, but he couldn't provide the connections.
However, he only dared to think about it and gave up later. After all, it was already too late. When Medicine Elder became conscious, he was only a Great Fighter.
If he had any intention toward Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er would probably teach him a lesson.
But it wasn't good to weigh the pros and cons. If he really got involved with Medicine Elder, he would immediately be at odds with the Soul Palace.
That wasn't what he wanted. With his small build, he didn't dare to attract the Soul Palace's attention right now.
Currently, when interacting with Xiao Yan, he also used Han Li's false identity, taking this aspect into consideration.
However, it was inevitable to confront the Soul Palace.
Or rather, any alchemist, especially high-level alchemists, would inevitably clash with the Soul Palace.
After all, this ghostly power particularly liked harvesting powerful souls...
Su Yun came back to his senses and didn't dwell too much on this aspect.
It was too early to consider these things.
Su Yun shared some insights on breaking through to a fourth-grade alchemist with Luo Qianchen before bidding farewell. When he was about to leave, Luo Qianchen asked.
"By the way, there's something I've been wanting to ask you for a long time."
"Lao Luo, feel free to ask."
Su Yun said, with a very good impression of Luo Qianchen. Previously, when Kuang Tang couldn't obtain some medicinal materials, Luo Qianchen helped him find them.
"I wonder if you have any secret method to make someone's figure taller?"
Luo Qianchen couldn't help asking.
He was quite curious. He didn't ask about the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, but Su Yun's height had changed significantly since they first met, and Su Yun didn't conceal it, so it shouldn't be a secret.
"Oh, are you talking about this?"
Su Yun nodded and explained, "To be honest, this is a fourth-grade pill that I developed myself, called the Height Increasing Pill. Long-term use can make a person's figure taller."
Luo Qianchen suddenly realized the magical nature of pills.
At the Alchemist Conference, Yan Li had also used a pill that could change one's body and face, so it was not surprising to the people of the Dou Qi Continent.
Su Yun nodded, bid farewell to Luo Qianchen, and returned home.
For a long time after that, Su Yun focused on cultivation.
Occasionally, he would still go to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, fight against magic beasts, and use this to make his foundation more stable.
This continued for half a year.
Su Yun's strength did not have much progress. After all, a part of his energy was used to consolidate his foundation, and the cultivation at the Great Fighter stage was not as easy as that of Dou Zhe. In half a year, he only broke through by two stars, and his current cultivation was only an eight-star Great Fighter.
If Luo Qianchen knew about this speed, he would probably be shocked.
At the Xiao Family's backyard, Su Yun was visiting the Xiao Family.
"Master."
Xiao Yan looked at Su Yun, a bitter smile squeezing out on his face.
Xiao Yan was very respectful to Su Yun. Just because of his grandfather's kindness, he had helped the Xiao Family in this way, which made him very grateful.
He had been carrying the title of waste for a year now.
During this time, the mocking gazes and sarcastic smiles of his clansmen had made him grow a lot, and at the same time, he cherished his father, Xun'er, and Han Master even more.
These were the people who helped him when he was at his lowest. These were the people he should truly cherish.
Thinking of his lowest point, Xiao Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, wondering if he would ever shine again.
"During this period, have there been any improvements?"
Su Yun asked Xiao
Yan.
He didn't hand the pill to Xiao Yan personally every time.
This time, he came to pay a routine visit to the staff in the talent pool, so that Xiao Yan could stay at home and be ready to serve when needed.
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly.
"It's still the same. Every time I cultivate, as soon as I gather a strand of Dou Qi, it immediately disperses."
"Ah," Su Yun pretended to be helpless, consoling him like a superior leader comforting a subordinate.
"When you come to the end of a bridge, the way will naturally be clear. There will be a solution."
He didn't forget to paint a rosy picture.
"The meaning of effort lies in seizing opportunities when they come. Keep it up, I believe in you."
Finally, Su Yun patted Xiao Yan's shoulder to encourage him.
