Chapter 93: Sweets
Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian was momentarily stunned, then nodded in agreement.
Indeed, he had also seen the weakened state of Pill King Gu He after refining pills.
Each time after refining a Tier-6 medicinal pill, his Dou Qi would be completely depleted.
Jia Xingtian thought to himself.
At this moment, Hai Bodong descended from the sky.
"Is that kid done with the assessment?"
Hai Bodong asked Fa Ma.
Hearing this, both Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma were taken aback, exchanging glances that revealed their surprise.
Fa Ma couldn't help asking.
"Ice Emperor, you know him?"
Hai Bodong glanced at Fa Ma and then nodded.
"Of course, my return this time is actually thanks to him."
He then ignored the two and waited at the door.
After a while, Su Yun finally finished recovering.
The three old timers of the Jia Ma Empire approached.
Su Yun was somewhat surprised to see Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong, but he quickly understood.
Hai Bodong was naturally there to check on his condition.
As for Jia Xingtian, as the guardian of the royal family, he pays close attention to everything happening in the Jia Ma Empire.
The emergence of a Tier-6 alchemist would naturally draw his attention.
Hai Bodong moved to stand behind Su Yun, clearly showing his stance.
Seeing this, Jia Xingtian was even more astonished, taking a deep breath. Regardless, he needed to make a good impression in front of this Tier-6 alchemist.
"My name is Jia Xingtian, may I know how to address this master?"
Su Yun nodded.
"I'm called Zhang Xiaofan."
Jia Xingtian looked at Su Yun's excessively young face, displaying the same shock as Fa Ma.
Su Yun was not surprised by this reaction. If he revealed his true face, they would probably be scared to death.
Jia Xingtian managed to calm his emotions and congratulated Su Yun.
"Congratulations to Master Zhang for successfully refining a Tier-6 medicinal pill and becoming a Tier-6 alchemist."
Su Yun nodded, exchanging pleasantries with the two.
After a while, seeing that the formalities were almost over, Jia Xingtian asked.
"May I know if the master has recently visited Black Rock City?"
Su Yun was taken aback, then remembered the incident where he refined the Breakthrough Pill for Hai Bodong in Black Rock City.
"Yes, I did stay in Black Rock City for a while."
Jia Xingtian understood.
"A few days ago, I received news that there was a suspected phenomenon of a Tier-6 medicinal pill formation in Black Rock City. I suppose it was Master Zhang's doing."
Su Yun nodded, acknowledging it.
Afterward, Fa Ma handed over the robes for a Tier-5 and Tier-6 alchemist to Su Yun, and then Su Yun left the Alchemist Association with Hai Bodong.
Inside the Alchemist Association, Fa Ma and Jia Xingtian continued to discuss Su Yun, the Tier-6 alchemist.
"Fa, do you have any understanding of this Master Zhang?"
Jia Xingtian attempted to gather some intelligence from Fa Ma.
Fa Ma shook his head.
"Not clear. It's as if he appeared out of thin air, not like someone from the surrounding empires.
In my opinion, if he's not from some hidden family, then he must have come from the Central Plains.
In terms of alchemy, the strongest in the entire Dou Qi Continent is the Pill Tower in the Central Plains."
Hearing this, Jia Xingtian nodded.
He had visited the Central Plains when he was younger and understood how prosperous it was.
Such a monster indeed couldn't have emerged from their remote corner.
"It's just that I wonder how Ice Emperor came to associate with such a person."
Jia Xingtian frowned.
Fa Ma clicked his tongue, knowing exactly what his old friend was thinking.
"Alright, you might treasure the Jia Ma Empire as a jewel, but he might not necessarily hold it in high regard.
He has reached the realm of a Tier-6 alchemist at such a young age, and it's only a matter of time before he becomes a Tier-7 alchemist.
I've just seen his alchemy technique; it's probably much stronger than Pill King Gu He.
Such a figure, his true stage is in the Central Plains."
Paranoid delusions, Fa Ma thought to himself, shaking his head internally.
Jia Xingtian, having his thoughts exposed, wasn't embarrassed but rather took great interest in the information Fa Ma had just revealed.
"Fa Ma, are you serious? This person's alchemy surpasses even that of Alchemy King Gu He?"
Jia Xingtian's face showed disbelief. In his view, being so young and just stepping into the realm of a Tier-6 alchemist meant the person had only just entered that level.
Hearing this, Fa Ma recounted how Su Yun had successfully refined the medicinal pill on his first attempt.
Only then did Jia Xingtian have to believe, a hint of schadenfreude crossing his face.
"If Gu He knew his proudly mastered alchemy was surpassed by such a young man, I wonder how he would feel."
Heh, probably not too well.
Fa Ma's eye twitched, unsure of what to say.
...
On the other side, Su Yun and Hai Bodong returned to the Mittel family. Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were waiting in the hall.
Seeing Su Yun, Xiao Yixian threw herself into his arms.
After embracing for a while, they parted.
Qing Lin had already been taken somewhere by Hai Bodong.
"How have these past few days been?"
Su Yun placed Xiao Yixian on his lap, feeling a soft sensation from his leg.
This girl is growing up quite well...
Hearing his question, Xiao Yixian took out a bunch of small trinkets, some toys, and snacks.
"The day before yesterday, Qing Lin and I played in the Imperial City for a day, and we didn't go out yesterday."
I thought you had gone on a long trip again and wouldn't be back for a while.
Xiao Yixian kept this thought to herself, then took out a string of candied hawthorns, bit one, and then offered it to Su Yun's mouth.
"It's very sweet."
Xiao Yixian's cheeks were slightly red, but her tone didn't fluctuate much.
Su Yun bit into one, a smile on his face.
"Mm, it is sweet."
Hearing this, Xiao Yixian also showed a happy smile on her face.
Xiao Yixian bit another one, then offered the candied hawthorns to Su Yun again.
Su Yun smiled and shook his head, his gaze falling on Xiao Yixian's cherry lips.
"What's in your mouth should be sweeter."
Saying so, before Xiao Yixian could react, he leaned in.
"Mm..."
That night, Su Yun returned to his room.
Before going to the Tagore Desert, Xiao Yixian always slept with him.
However, it seems now, perhaps to accommodate Qing Lin, the two girls were sharing a room.
Qing Lin was somewhat afraid of the dark. When Su Yun first met Qing Lin and they rested in an inn for the night, the girl woke up suddenly and was frightened to tears.
That day, he held Qing Lin in his arms, comforting her for a while before she fell asleep again.
It's good that the two girls get along so well.
Su Yun shook his head, pitying the loss of his soft and jade-like pillow.
Su Yun sat cross-legged, beginning his cultivation.
With his current strength, he didn't need much sleep, sleeping once every twenty or so days was actually enough. The rest of the time, it was better to spend cultivating.
He wasn't complacent about his current power.
It might be fine in the Jia Ma Empire, but in the Central Plains, it was nothing.
