Su Yun looked up and down at the medicine cauldron, marveling at it. This thing was impressive.
Previously, when Kuang Tang was still around, none of the things he gave him were as valuable as this.
It should be noted that at the Alchemist Convention of the Gamma Empire, Yao Yue and Liu Ling only brought out their best, which was only a fifth-rank medicine cauldron.
One backed by the royal family, the other with a good master, but their medicine cauldrons were only fifth-rank. It could be imagined that a fourth-rank medicine cauldron was already excellent in the Gamma Empire.
At least in his eyes, for Ya Fei to be able to produce it with her current identity and status must have required a lot of effort.
"You're thoughtful."
Su Yun's expression softened a bit, nodding at Ya Fei and putting the medicine cauldron into the system space.
Seeing Su Yun accept the medicine cauldron, Ya Fei felt a flash of satisfaction. While Su Yun accepting the cauldron didn't mean much, it still showed some goodwill.
After exchanging a few more polite words with Ya Fei, Su Yun was escorted out of the Mithril Auction House.
Ya Fei hadn't yet established herself firmly in Wutan City, so there was no need to rush in pulling Su Yun over.
As Su Yun returned home and took out a medicine cauldron to start refining pills, it wasn't the one Ya Fei had given him, but the Black Demon Cauldron.
Yes, it was the same one that belonged to Yao Lao.
When Su Xiao asked him to refine the Gathering Qi Pill for Xiao Yan, Su Yun had borrowed it from Yao Lao.
Not only the Black Demon Cauldron, but he had also taken the Spiritual Bead from the Bone Flame Ring.
When he activated the system, he didn't think too much about it and simply replicated Yao Lao's memories.
But when he returned to Wutan City and interacted with the Xiao family, his mind became active again.
He carefully selected and ultimately brought these two items with him.
The preciousness of the Black Demon Cauldron didn't need to be mentioned. For alchemists, besides their Unique Flames, this cauldron was the most attractive to them.
And the Spiritual Bead was for absorbing the Lotus Heart Flame.
Before, when he asked Luo Qian and Kuang Tang to find the Spiritual Bead for a year with no results, he started having ideas.
This thing was extremely rare, with a small stock in the Gamma Empire. To avoid delaying the absorption of the Unique Flame, he took it.
Regarding the Exquisite Ruler from the original story, he didn't have any thoughts about it.
The Exquisite Ruler was too conspicuous. While he could secretly use the Black Demon Cauldron when refining pills, he couldn't do the same with the Spiritual Bead.
Normally, he kept it in the system space, and when it was time to absorb the Unique Flame, it would enter his dantian, making it highly concealable.
And as for using the Exquisite Ruler in battle, unless he killed everyone present, otherwise, if the news spread, Yao Lao would come looking for trouble based on the information.
Moreover, it was necessary to leave some things behind. If you plucked the sheep bare, what would you do if it froze to death? You had to leave some wool for it to survive the winter.
Sustainable development, understand?
After finishing refining the auxiliary cultivation pills, it was already dark outside. After having dinner with Xiao Yixian and practicing for a while, Su Yun was ready to rest.
At this time, Xiao Yixian pushed the door open, her face smiling, and she threw herself into Su Yun's arms.
Her nighttime rest time was basically fixed, and Xiao Yixian had already figured it out.
Su Yun held the girl's delicate body, feeling warm, like holding a piece of warm jade.
Su Yun felt a bit reluctant. During this time, their relationship had become closer and closer. He was single since birth, not stupid, he could feel it.
As they grew older, Xiao Yixian's feelings for him were no longer just that of a girl seeking help...
Su Yun also cherished Xiao Yixian, and Xiao Yixian cherished him.
In Su Yun's arms, Xiao Yixian felt a sense of attachment. In Su Yun's embrace, she felt like it was the safest place in the world.
Suddenly, Xiao Yixian frowned, smelling an unusual scent.
Su Yun usually refined pills all year round, so he naturally exuded a medicinal fragrance and the scent of medicinal ingredients. But today, she smelled something else!
It was the scent of rouge, and perfume!
Xiao Yixian struggled out of Su Yun's embrace and spoke with a hint of jealousy in her tone.
"Brother Su Yun, where did you go today?"
Su Yun was a bit puzzled. Xiao Yixian's reaction was a bit unusual. "I went to the Mithril Auction House, why?"
"Brother is lying, boo hoo." Xiao Yixian's eyes were teary, crying and making a scene.
"Brother didn't lie to you, how could Brother lie to Little Fairy?"
Su Yun felt a bit of a headache. Why was she crying? This wasn't his area of expertise.
"Brother, you smell like rouge, and Little Fairy can smell it! Brother must have gone to some shady place."
Xiao Yixian complained.
Su Yun smiled bitterly. This was a big misunderstanding indeed.
Su Yun explained to Xiao Yixian all night until she cried herself out and fell asleep, finally calming down.
Su Yun felt a bit embarrassed. Reality wasn't like novels. Other protagonists were surrounded by admirers, but he couldn't handle just one.
The next morning, at breakfast, Xiao Yixian's cheeks were as puffed up as buns.
Still angry, Su Yun smiled wryly and hugged Xiao Yixian, who symbolically struggled a few times before falling into Su Yun's arms.
"Alright, I love Little Fairy the most, don't be angry, okay?"
Su Yun blew hot air into Xiao Yixian's ear, their cheeks rubbing against each other.
A hint of blush appeared on Xiao Yixian's face as she hugged Su Yun back.
"Little Fairy isn't angry, it's just that yesterday, I felt uncomfortable for some reason. Little Fairy doesn't know why."
Su Yun pinched Xiao Yixian's cheek, smiling inwardly. Actually, Xiao Yixian was only thirteen or fourteen years old this year.
Not knowing what jealousy was normal, but it was normal to have emotions.
Su Yun hugged Xiao Yixian back to the chair. He didn't dare to keep holding her all the time.
People in the Dou Qi Continent developed faster due to the nourishment of Dou Qi. Although she was only thirteen years old, in Su Yun's eyes, she was already similar to a sixteen-year-old high school student.
It was early in the morning, and he was already hot-tempered. He didn't want anything to happen now.
After all, it would be too awkward.
For now, cultivation
was still the priority. Once he had enough strength, he could think about these things. After all, in this world, the strong lived longer. It was never too late for anything.
Thinking of this, Su Yun felt a bit emotional. It was a pity about Xing Ye.
A month later, just as Su Yun had delivered the pills to the Xiao family and was about to leave, he was intercepted by two people on his way.
Su Yun furrowed his brows and scanned the two individuals.

Su Yun understood. So it was these two.
The visitors were the heads of the other two major families in Wutan City.
It was the first time he had seen these two people. He had been cooperating with the Xiao family to sell pills for almost two years.
It was surprising that these two had only come to see him today.
As heads of their respective families, these two were quite patient.
