. For a while, Xiao Yixian became much quieter.
She stopped pestering Su Yun, calling out for fun and instead devoted herself to cultivation.
Su Yun silently took it all in, and the little girl also sensed the dangers of the world.
Su Yun was currently searching through the memories of Yao Lao and the Pure Lotus Demon Sage.
He was searching for the Soul Art!
Dou Po's coverage of the soul was relatively superficial, far less in-depth than its research into Dou Qi.
However, some methods for cultivating the soul had been developed, and
the Soul Art was precisely that method.
Yao Lao's Soul Art came from the Yao Clan, a secret art of the clan. Due to the clan's limitations, Yao Lao didn't pass on his own Soul Art to Xiao Yan, who instead practiced the Taiyi Soul Art.
This Taiyi Soul Art, if Su Yun remembered correctly, was the champion's reward for the Alchemy Competition held at the Dan Tower.
Su Yun had no plans to practice Yao Lao's Soul Art either. Of course, he wasn't afraid of the so-called Yao Clan, but rather, he had something better.
He had been searching through the memories of the Pure Lotus Demon Sage for some time, and now he had finally found it.
Su Yun felt the memories resurfacing in his mind, a smile breaking across his face.
The memories of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint had been extracted from the fragmentary map found in the cave. Of course, they couldn't be his entire memory. He was unsure if he'd be so lucky as to find the Soul Secret Code.
However, his efforts paid off.
This Soul Secret Code had no name; it was found by chance in a relic when the Pure Lotus Demon Saint attained Dou Zong status. Its origins are now unknown.
He intended not only to cultivate it himself but also to pass it on to Little Medical Immortal. He wouldn't use the resurrection method unless it was absolutely necessary, but it was always good to have a backup plan.
Su Yun arrived at Little Medical Immortal's room.
"Xian'er,"
Su Yun called gently.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Little Medical Immortal was a little surprised. Her brother usually didn't come to her room. Had something happened?
Su Yun's expression was serious.
"Xian'er, I'm going to teach you a secret method now. This secret method is extremely precious and must not be revealed under any circumstances. Do you understand?"
Little Medical Immortal's expression also grew serious.
"I understand, brother."
She remembered every word of her brother's words and obeyed him in everything.
Su Yun said no more.
A single word of advice was enough. Xian'er also knew the importance of things.
After passing the Soul Art to Little Medical Immortal, Su Yun told her to practice diligently and left.
For a period of time, Su Yun and Little Medical Immortal lived in seclusion.
Aside from delivering his refined elixirs to the Xiao family at the beginning of each month, Su Yun mostly practiced in seclusion.
These were only first-grade elixirs, but at his current level, he could produce a month's worth of them in just one day.
It's worth noting that the middle-aged manager of the Mitel Auction House never gave up on his attempts to win him over. After months of no news of Su Yun, he would stake out the Xiao family's gate at the beginning of each month.
Su Yun felt somewhat helpless about this; this man was like a dog-skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off.
He couldn't refuse outright, after all, a considerable portion of the medicinal ingredients for his own elixirs were purchased from the Mitel Auction House.
Fortunately, the middle-aged supervisor was well aware of the situation and had a good attitude. He always brought expensive gifts when they met.
Su Yun let him do what he wanted.
They only met once a month. If he got annoyed, he would just leave. He didn't dare say anything. He still had gifts to accept, so he would accept them.
Luo Qianchen from the Alchemist Guild had also visited him several times to exchange alchemy experiences. The old president had clearly not given up on becoming a fourth-grade alchemist.
In this way, a year passed slowly.
At that time, in the Xiao family hall, the three elders of the Xiao family and the patriarch, Xiao Zhan, were holding a meeting.
"Xiao Zhan, why have several unaccounted gold coins disappeared from the family treasury these past few months? Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
The Great Elder frowned and asked Xiao Zhan.
"Oh, really? I'll check on this later,"
Xiao Zhan replied, seeming a little surprised.
The Great Elder nodded, not dwelling on the matter.
Xiao Zhan's expression was calm, but a hint of unnaturalness flickered in his eyes.
Meanwhile, his third son, Xiao Yan, was preparing to reach the Fighter realm.
Su Yun's appearance had given Xiao Zhan something else to think about.
Qi Gathering Powder!
That's right, he wanted to ask Su Yun to refine a fourth-grade Qi Gathering Powder for Xiao Yan!
According to alchemists' rules, one must provide the herbs themselves, and receive a bonus.
He had been collecting the herbs for six months.
But a fourth-grade elixir is so precious, even the herbs themselves are too expensive for a small family head to afford.
He had spent all his personal savings to collect just a few herbs.
Alchemists have a certain success rate when refining elixirs, and he wasn't sure how likely Su Yun was to succeed with a fourth-grade elixir.
So, for the past few months, he'd been secretly embezzling funds from the family treasury.
He'd been doing it very covertly, but he'd still been discovered.
It must be said that Xiao Zhan might not be a good clan leader, but he was certainly a good father.
...…
Meanwhile, Su Yun was getting dressed, changing into Han Li's vest, and preparing to head to the Xiao family.
After a year of training, he had already reached the rank of a Nine-Star Dou Shi!
He was very satisfied with his current level.
The cultivation system on this continent was quite challenging for Dou Qi, but then the Dou Zhe stage became easier, and the difficulty of the subsequent realms gradually increased.
It had taken him a year to break through from Dou Zhe to Dou Shi, and now, after another year, he was only one step away from Grand Dou Shi.
He was very satisfied with this pace.
His progress was due to two factors.
First, the advanced Xuan-level "Burning Cold Art." This high-level technique greatly enhanced his cultivation. His progress was much faster than when he was at the advanced Huang-level.
Secondly, the elixir.
As a fourth-grade alchemist, he naturally made a lot of elixirs for himself.
Little Medical Fairy's cultivation has not made much progress and is still at the Dou Qi stage.
Su Yun was not surprised by this. The Evil Poison Body is no joke. Don't look at her current level of cultivation. Once it is activated, the speed at which her cultivation will soar will definitely be much faster than his.
Su Yun came to the door of the Xiao family. As expected, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were waiting for him. It has been
like this all year. Obviously, with the identity of a fourth-grade alchemist, they dare not neglect it at all.
Su Yun was invited into the hall again. He exchanged a few polite words with them, took out the elixir from the ring, drank some tea, and was about to leave.
"Master Han, wait a minute."
Su Yun was stopped by Xiao Zhan.
"I have some private matters that I would like to ask you, Master. Is it convenient?"
Xiao Zhan said with a smile.
"Oh, I see. Patriarch Xiao, please let me know if you have anything to say."
