BTTH: Starting with the Complete Memories of Yao Chen

Chapter 30: Ice Spirit Cold Spring

Su Yun once again politely declined Kuang Teng's invitation.

The progress in his cultivation over the years gave Su Yun some confidence. A family like the Miteer family was simply not worth his attachment.

After leaving the Miteer Auction House, Su Yun headed to the Alchemist Guild.

He had long been planning the matter of refining the True Flame Cold Qi. He had previously asked Luo Qian Chen and Kuang Teng to search for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

There was still no news from Kuang Teng, but Luo Qian Chen had found some information.
The alchemist's connections were indeed broader.

Although Kuang Teng was a member of the Miteer family, he was just Dou Grandmaster and did not have access to the core of the Miteer family's power.

According to the information Luo Qian Chen sent a few days ago, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring should be in Luo Qian Chen's hands today.

Improving strength and obtaining the Ice Spirit Cold Spring could be considered a double delight.

Su Yun arrived at the Alchemist Guild and met Luo Qian Chen."This is what you want."

Luo Qian Chen stroked his beard and took out the Ice Spirit Cold Spring from the ring.

Su Yun was delighted. With a smile on his face, he stored the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in the system space.

"I appreciate your help, Senior Luo."
Luo Qian Chen was a bit curious, not understanding the use of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring for Su Yun.

The Ice Spirit Cold Spring was a rare item, and it was just a coincidence that he had a friend with strength at the Dou Master level who had obtained it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get it himself.

Although curious, Luo Qian Chen didn't inquire further. Everyone had their own secrets.
Su Yun took out a fourth-grade pill recipe from the system space and handed it to Luo Qian Chen.

"Senior Luo, this is a fourth-grade pill recipe I wrote down with my soul power during this period. Consider it as a reward for your help."
Luo Qian Chen was somewhat surprised. "For me?"

Pill recipes were not easy to create. They couldn't be simply written with a pen on parchment; they required alchemists to use their soul power on specially-made scrolls. The difficulty was quite high, often with a high failure rate.

For example, the copy of the Three-Line Azure Spirit Pill recipe that Fa Ma gave to Xiao Yan took him a long time to create, and it was only a one-time-use copy.

"Senior Luo, please accept it. The Ice Spirit Cold Spring is of great use to me, and you deserve this."

Luo Qian Chen couldn't resist his inner curiosity and accepted the scroll from Su Yun's hand.

"In that case, I'll accept it."
Luo Qian Chen stored the scroll in his ring, a smile appearing on his face, making him seem kind and approachable.

Su Yun nodded when he saw Luo Qian Chen accepting it.

This item was indeed precious for ordinary alchemists, but for Su Yun, it was quite common. The difficulty of writing pill recipes mainly lay in the high failure rate, but with the rich experience from Yao Lao's memories, Su Yun succeeded in one attempt and didn't take much time.

Having an old expert around was indeed valuable. Before, he had thought about obtaining Xiao Yan's ring, but he eventually gave up.

After all, by the time Yao Lao became conscious, Su Yun was only at the Dou Grandmaster level. If he had attempted something against Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er might have taught him a lesson.

Moreover, the gains and losses were hard to predict. If he really connected with Yao Lao, he would immediately attract the attention of the Soul Palace, and that wasn't what Su Yun wanted.

At least, he didn't dare to appear in the Soul Palace's sight at the moment.
Currently, his interactions with Xiao Yan were carried out using Han Li's false identity, which also had this consideration in mind.
However, a confrontation with the Soul Palace was inevitable.

In the world of alchemists, especially high-level alchemists, they were bound to come into conflict with the Soul Palace. After all, this sinister force particularly enjoyed harvesting powerful souls...

Su Yun snapped back to reality, not dwelling too much on this matter. It was too early to consider these things.

After sharing some insights on breaking through to a fourth-grade alchemist with Luo Qian Chen, Su Yun was about to take his leave when Luo Qian Chen brought up a question.

"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. He had a great impression of Luo Qian Chen. Luo Qian Chen had helped him find some herbs that Kuang Teng couldn't obtain.

"I wonder if you have some secret technique to make a person's figure appear taller?" Luo Qian Chen couldn't help but ask.
His curiosity got the better of him.

He didn't ask about the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, but he noticed a significant difference in Su Yun's height from their first meeting. Since Su Yun didn't hide it, it shouldn't be much of a secret.

"Oh, you mean this." Su Yun nodded, "I've developed a fourth-grade pill called the Heightening Pill. Long-term use can make a person's figure taller."

Luo Qian Chen suddenly realized the miraculous nature of pills. Yan Li had also used a pill during the Alchemist Grand Meeting that could change body shape and appearance, so it wasn't surprising for people on the Dou Qi Continent.

Su Yun nodded again, bid farewell to Luo Qian Chen, and returned home.
For a long period afterward, Su Yun continued his cultivation. Occasionally, he went to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, fought with magic beasts, and used this to further stabilize his foundation.

This routine continued for half a year.
Su Yun's strength didn't make significant progress, considering that a portion of his energy was used to consolidate his foundation.

Moreover, the cultivation at the Dou Grandmaster was not as easy as it was for Dou Masters. In half a year, he only broke through two stars, and his current cultivation was only at the eight-star Dou Grandmaster level.

If Luo Qian Chen knew about this speed, he would probably be shocked.
At the back mountain of the Xiao family, Su Yun was a guest in the Xiao family.

"Master." Xiao Yan looked at Su Yun with a bitter smile on his face.

Xiao Yan highly respected Su Yun, solely because of his grandfather's favor. Su Yun had helped the Xiao family and him, which moved him deeply.

He had been carrying the title of a waste for a year now. The mocking gazes and sarcastic smiles from his clansmen during this time had made him grow a lot.

At the same time, he became even more cherished toward his father, Xun'er, and people like Master Han.
These were the people who helped him when he was at his lowest. They were the ones he should truly cherish.

Thinking about his low point, Xiao Yan smiled self-deprecatingly. Would there be any glory for me? "During this time, is there still no progress?"

Su Yun asked Xiao Yan. He didn't hand the pill directly to Xiao Yan every time.

This time, he came to give the employee in the talent pool a routine greeting. This allowed Xiao Yan to stay at home and be available for duty when needed, making it convenient for him to take on responsibilities in the future.
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly.

"It's still the same. Every time I cultivate and just condense a strand of Dou Qi, it immediately disperses."

"Sigh." Su Yun pretended to be helpless, consoling him like a superior leader comforting a subordinate.

"The road to the end of the bridge will naturally straighten. There will be a solution."
He didn't forget to paint a rosy picture.

"The significance of effort lies in being able to seize opportunities when they come. Keep it up; I believe in you."

Finally, Su Yun patted Xiao Yan's shoulder to show encouragement.
