Jia Xingtian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
Indeed, he had seen Pill King Gu He's weakened state after refining pills before.
Every time he refined a Sixth Rank Pill, his Martial Qi would be completely drained.
Jia Xingtian thought to himself.
At this moment, Hai Bo Dong's figure descended from the sky.
"Did that kid finish the test?" Hai Bo Dong asked Fama.
Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian and Fama were both stunned. They exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Fama couldn't help but ask, "Old Ice Man, you know him?"
Hai Bo Dong gave Fama a faint look before nodding. "Of course, I was able to return this time thanks to him."
He then ignored the two and waited at the entrance.
After some time, Su Yun finally recovered.
Three ancient treasures of the Jia Ma Empire also walked over.
Su Yun was somewhat surprised to see Jia Xingtian and Hai Bo Dong, but after a moment's thought, he understood.
There was no need to explain Hai Bo Dong's presence; he had naturally come to check on his condition.
As the guardian of the royal family, Jia Xingtian would closely monitor any significant events in the Jia Ma Empire.
The emergence of a Sixth Rank Alchemist was certainly something he would want to see.
Hai Bo Dong walked behind Su Yun, clearly showing his stance.
Seeing this, Jia Xingtian's astonishment deepened. He took a deep breath, determined to leave a good impression on this Sixth Rank Alchemist.
"My name is Jia Xingtian. May I ask what the master's name is?"
Su Yun nodded. "I am Zhang Xiaofan."
Jia Xingtian looked at Su Yun's overly young face and was equally shocked, just like Fama.
Su Yun wasn't surprised by their reactions; if he revealed his true appearance, they might have a heart attack.
Jia Xingtian suppressed his emotions and congratulated Su Yun.
"Congratulations, Master Zhang, for successfully refining a Sixth Rank Pill and becoming a Sixth Rank Alchemist."
Su Yun nodded and exchanged a few pleasantries with the two.
After a while, seeing that the formalities were almost over, Jia Xingtian asked, "May I ask, Master, have you been to Blackrock City recently?"
Su Yun was taken aback for a moment, then recalled his time in Blackrock City refining the Eradicating Calamity Pill for Hai Bo Dong.
"Yes, I did stay in Blackrock City for a while."
Jia Xingtian understood. "A few days ago, I received news that there was a phenomenon indicating the creation of a Sixth Rank Pill in Blackrock City. I assume it was your work, Master Zhang."
Su Yun nodded, acknowledging the matter.
Afterward, Fama handed over the Fifth and Sixth Rank Alchemist robes to Su Yun, and Su Yun left the Alchemist Guild with Hai Bo Dong.
In the Alchemist Guild, Fama and Jia Xingtian continued to discuss Su Yun, the Sixth Rank Alchemist.
"Old Fama, do you know anything about this Master Zhang?"
Jia Xingtian was trying to gather some information from Fama.
Fama shook his head. "I don't know much. He seems to have appeared out of nowhere, not like someone from the surrounding empires.
In my opinion, he must be from a secluded family or from the Central Province.
In terms of alchemy, the strongest place in the entire Martial Qi continent is the Pill Tower in the Central Province."
Jia Xingtian nodded upon hearing this.
He had been to the Central Province when he was young and understood how prosperous it was.
Such a prodigy indeed could not come from their remote corner.
"I just wonder how Old Ice Man managed to get on good terms with such a person."
Jia Xingtian frowned.
Fama clicked his tongue, knowing exactly what his old friend was thinking.
"Enough. You may consider the Jia Ma Empire a treasure, but he might not think so.
He has reached the Sixth Rank Alchemist realm at such a young age, and it's only a matter of time before he becomes a Seventh Rank Alchemist.
From what I saw of his alchemy techniques, he is probably much stronger than Pill King Gu He.
A person like him belongs on the stage of the Central Province."
Fama shook his head in his mind, dismissing Jia Xingtian's paranoia.
Jia Xingtian wasn't embarrassed to have his thoughts exposed; instead, he was quite interested in the information Fama had just revealed.
"Old Fama, are you serious? His alchemy skills are even stronger than Pill King Gu He's?"
A look of disbelief flashed across Jia Xingtian's face. In his view, to reach the Sixth Rank Alchemist realm at such a young age should only mean he had just entered it.
Fama explained how Su Yun had successfully refined the pill on his first attempt.
Jia Xingtian had no choice but to believe it, a hint of schadenfreude appearing on his face.
"If Gu He knew that his proud alchemy skills were surpassed by such a young man, what would he think?"
Ha, he probably wouldn't have a good thought.
Fama's eyes twitched, not knowing what to say.

On the other side, Su Yun and Hai Bo Dong returned to the Miter Family. Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin were waiting in the hall.
Little Medical Fairy immediately pounced into Su Yun's arms upon seeing him.
They embraced for a while before parting.
Qing Lin had been taken somewhere by Hai Bo Dong.
"How have the past two days been?"
Su Yun placed Little Medical Fairy on his lap, feeling the softness from his legs.
This girl is developing better and better...
Little Medical Fairy, upon hearing this, took out a pile of small trinkets, toys, and snacks from her Storage Ring.
"The day before yesterday, Qing Lin and I played in the capital for a whole day. We didn't go out yesterday."
I thought you had gone on a long trip again and wouldn't be back for a long time.
Little Medical Fairy kept this thought to herself, then took out a skewer of candied hawthorns, biting one and then placing it near Su Yun's mouth.
"It's very sweet."
Little Medical Fairy's cheeks were slightly red, but her tone didn't waver much.
Su Yun bit one, a smile on his face. "Yes, it's very sweet."
Hearing this, Little Medical Fairy's face lit up with a happy smile.
She bit another one and placed the skewer near Su Yun's mouth again.
Su Yun smiled, shaking his head, his eyes landing on Little Medical Fairy's cherry lips. "What's in your mouth should be even sweeter."
Before Little Medical Fairy could react, he leaned down.
"Mm..."
That night, Su Yun returned to his room.
Before he went to the Tallgor Great Desert, Little Medical Fairy always slept with him.
But now, to take care of Qing Lin, the two girls were sharing a room.
Qing Lin was a bit afraid of the dark. On the night Su Yun first met Qing Lin at the inn, the girl woke up in the middle of the night and was scared to tears.
That night, he had to hold Qing Lin and comfort her for a while before she could fall asleep.
It was a good thing that the two girls got along well.
Su Yun shook his head, feeling a bit sorry for his soft, jade-like pillow.
Su Yun sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
With his current strength, he didn't need much sleep. He only needed to sleep once every twenty days or so, and the rest of the time could be used for cultivation.
He wouldn't be complacent about his current strength.
It was fine in the Jia Ma Empire, but in the Central Province, he was nothing.
