Su Ye glanced at it casually and then closed the System page nonchalantly.
It was just as he had expected; the rewards were trash, just some gold coins and other miscellaneous items.
Walking out of the cave to the spot where he had practiced Alchemy yesterday, Su Ye found Dugu Bo waiting for him.
The two greeted each other with smiles; after the drinks yesterday, their relationship had grown much closer.
Dugu Bo looked at Su Ye now with nothing but satisfaction.
If he weren’t afraid of being too abrupt or lowering his granddaughter’s value, he would have asked directly: “Su Ye, want a wife?
Take her cheap.”
“You were tired yesterday, why not sleep a little longer?
The herbs are here and won’t run away, no need to rush.”
“At my age, how can I sleep?” Su Ye smiled and made a joke.
Without chatting further, he sat down at his station from yesterday and began to work.
Dugu Bo nodded secretly.
Not bad, really not bad!
Outstanding talent, amazing methods, and so diligent—his future achievements would be limitless!
He would have to remind Yan Yan to hurry up when he went back later.
Such a good grandson-in-law couldn’t be snatched away by someone else.
Compared to yesterday, Su Ye’s progress today was gratifying; his Alchemy skills were advancing by leaps and bounds.
In just half a day, he could already refine some mid-to-high-Rank Medicinal Pills to assist his own Cultivation.
The beginning of everything is difficult; that saying was true.
After all, yesterday was his first time practicing Alchemy, a Breakthrough from 0 to 1, so the efficiency was a bit slow.
Today was different; Su Ye already understood the key points of practical operation, and he felt quite handy when refining various Medicinal Pills.
“Whoosh!”
With a beam of light shooting out from the Medicine Cauldron, several round, plump, and lustrous Medicinal Pills were caught in Su Ye’s palm.
Picking one up and confirming there were no issues, he tossed it into his mouth.
The Medicinal Pill turned into a stream of pure energy upon entering his mouth, surging through his body.
After sensing carefully for a moment, Su Ye nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on his handsome, peerless face.
What he had just eaten was a relatively high-Rank Medicinal Pill from the True Manual of Alchemy—the Yuan-Gathering Soul-Tempering Pill!
Its main effect was to raise spirit power Rank and refine spirit power; besides that, it had a tiny effect on improving physical fitness.
However, the latter improvement was too small compared to those specifically for Body Tempering, so it could be ignored.
Su Ye didn’t care about this; he would definitely refine Body Tempering Medicinal Pills and mental force-enhancing Medicinal Pills later.
Since he had the conditions, he naturally wanted to advance his Spirit, energy, and Qi simultaneously, leaving no weaknesses.
Looking around and not seeing Dugu Bo, Su Ye was a little surprised but didn’t pay it much mind.
He was extremely focused when practicing Alchemy and had limited perception of the outside world, so he assumed that Old Poison must have left long ago.
After putting away the Medicinal Pills and briefly recovering his mental force, Su Ye continued to fire up the furnace for Alchemy.
It was close, really close!
At this rate, he would be able to refine the Nirvana Creation Elixir in a few more days.
Once he established a peerless Foundation, he could begin his journey of true takeoff.
Popping various Medicinal Pills and practicing the Void Scripture, it would be hard for his strength not to improve quickly.
Thinking of that scene filled Su Ye with motivation, and he buried his head in intense practice, one batch of Medicinal Pills after another.
…
Meanwhile.
Dugu Bo arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy again; he couldn’t help Su Ye with Alchemy, and he couldn’t learn it just by watching.
Thinking that idle time was wasted time, he simply came to find his granddaughter to prepare to do some “ideological work” on her.
“Yan Yan should have feelings for that kid Su Ye, so it shouldn’t be hard to play matchmaker.”
Dugu Bo felt his precious granddaughter wouldn’t be hard to convince.
After all, that kid Su Ye had the looks and the talent, and both could be called peerless in this world.
As for character…
After interacting for the past two days, plus that drink yesterday, he felt he had a good grasp of the situation.
How to put it, that kid wasn’t a “good person” in the traditional sense, but he was very much to his liking.
Not to mention anything else, he would never treat his own people badly, so he was completely at ease handing Yan Yan over to him.
After finding his precious granddaughter, Dugu Bo first gave her another reassurance, stating that the Spirit poison would be solved soon.
Then he changed the subject and said with hidden meaning: “Yan Yan, how did you and Su Ye meet?
Did you really just meet these past two days?
Have you never met before?”
“Also, what do you think of him?
I feel he is much stronger than that Yu Tianheng, you…”
Dugu Yan hadn’t thought much of it and was about to speak, but upon hearing the latter part, her pretty face immediately flushed red.
“Aiya, Grandpa, what nonsense are you spouting?
I’ve only known him for two days, there’s nothing else.
And why are you bringing up that Yu Tianheng?
I never had anything with him in the first place.”
Seeing his precious granddaughter’s shy appearance, Dugu Bo immediately had a hunch.
Nothing?
If there was nothing, why were you blushing like that?
Still trying to fool your grandpa?
Tsk tsk, too naive.
Your grandpa has lived for so long and experienced everything; could you really hide it from me?
Looking at Dugu Bo’s “I’ve already seen through you” expression, Dugu Yan’s pretty face became redder and redder.
She wanted to say something but didn’t know how to start.
In the end, she just dropped a “Hmph, I’m ignoring you,” and dragged Ye Lingling away in a hurry.
Dugu Bo watched the back of his precious cabbage, feeling both relieved and a little disappointed.
It would most likely work out, but the cabbage would eventually be cheap for that pig.
However, thinking that the pig was also chosen by himself, he felt a bit better.
Hmm, that kid is so capable, this deal isn’t a loss.
…
On the other side.
Dugu Yan ran a long way before slowly stopping.
The blush on her pretty face hadn’t faded in the slightest, causing her good friend to glance at her repeatedly.
“Cough, Lingling, don’t misunderstand, I’m not…
How many times have Su Ye and I met?
Do I look like such a shallow person?”
Ye Lingling heard this and stared at her good friend, sizing her up as if thinking.
Just when Dugu Yan thought her good friend would nod and agree with her words, who would have thought that she nodded and said, “You do!”
Pfft!
Dugu Yan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, looking at her good friend with resentment.
Ye Lingling smiled slightly: “Just a joke, but seriously, Old Dugu seems to be playing matchmaker for you, are you really not considering it?”
“I…”
Dugu Yan was about to speak, but suddenly seemed to sense something and turned her head to look the other way.
Ye Lingling also seemed to sense something at this moment and looked over as well.
As the two girls looked, they saw Crown Prince Xue Qinghe standing there, his gaze calm, looking at them as if devoid of any emotion.
At the same time, an invisible pressure seemed to be spreading from him, making them both feel a great deal of pressure.
The two girls were confused; they had seen Crown Prince Xue Qinghe more than once, but this was the first time they had seen such a Xue Qinghe.
It was not the gentleness of the past; it was as if he had changed into another person.
The two girls looked at each other and were about to communicate with their eyes when suddenly, a familiar electronic sound rang in their minds.
[Ding!
Another copy owner detected nearby, do you wish to add them as a friend?]
At the same time, Qian Renxue was also stunned, staring blankly at the two.
“You…”
“You all…”
