Qu Tong didn't go directly to the Star Beast Zone with Xu An.
Instead, she returned to Luyi Star first to take care of some matters.
Elder Yuan has been especially enthusiastic lately.
Thanks to Qu Tong's frequent help over this period, Elder Yuan's Spirit Sea had recovered nearly one-third of its capacity.
Additionally, after spending four Void Crystal Stones, Elder Yuan had finally made some progress in his research.
Although it was just a tiny breakthrough, at least it proved that the improvement in Xu An's physique level was no accident and that their speculations were meaningful.
But it's unknown how far this small achievement is from ultimate success.
This is a costly and lengthy process.
During this time, Qu Tong stayed on Luyi Star and incidentally prepared the potions for the next month.
