Returning to Heaven Dou

"I don't know about that!" Lu Yuan said, shrugging.

Ye Xishui isn't even in the world of Douluo Dalu I. If Long Xiaoyao has any chance to meet Ye Xishui again, it's only if he gets the Titled Douluo selection card from last time as a sign-in reward, and he happens to draw Ye Xishui.

This is the only chance, and not to mention that the rewards for each sign-in are arranged by the system itself, even if you get the Titled Douluo selection card again, it is still a question whether you can draw Ye Xishui. The probability is actually pitifully small.

However, Lu Yuan naturally couldn't reveal anything about the system to Zhu Zhuqing, so he told her that Ye Xishui eventually disappeared on her own, and Long Xiaoyao couldn't find her and was left all alone. This was the best explanation he could give at the moment.

"Sigh, why can't people who love each other like Old Long and Senior Ye be together? Fate is truly cruel," Zhu Zhuqing sighed softly.

"Life is full of disappointments, and it's not easy for any couple in love to be together. That's why we should cherish the person in front of us even more," Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.

In the original novel, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui did end up together, but unfortunately, neither of them had a good ending.

"Yes, you're right!" Looking at Lu Yuan's handsome face, Zhu Zhuqing smiled and then picked up the food again, bringing it to Lu Yuan's mouth.

"Finally, all the pills are finished!" Lu Yuan stretched and yawned. After four consecutive days of continuous pill refining, he had finally finished refining all the necessary pills.

"Soul Return Pill, four bottles, ten pills per bottle!"

"Body Tempering Pill, six bottles, three of which are of high quality, with five pills in each bottle, and three of which are of medium quality, with eight pills in each bottle."

"Qi Tempering Pill, six bottles: three bottles of high-quality pills, five pills per bottle, and three bottles of medium-quality pills, ten pills per bottle."

"Spirit Enhancement Pill, five bottles: two bottles of high quality, five pills per bottle; and three bottles of medium quality, ten pills per bottle."

After carefully counting the pills, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. This was all the results he had achieved in the past four days.

"After four days of refining pills, the success rate of high-quality pills has improved quite a bit, but I still haven't produced a single top-grade pill. And these are just the lower-grade pills. It seems that my pill refining skills have only just begun. There is still a lot of work to be done. Pill refining is indeed a very profound subject."

"However, considering my learning speed, it's quite fast, so my talent for alchemy shouldn't be considered low," Lu Yuan murmured softly.

"But alchemy is really tiring. Even with my mental strength, I feel a little dizzy and lightheaded." Lu Yuan rubbed his head. Alchemy for a long time is really a mentally exhausting thing, and even his current mental strength is a little overwhelmed.

After all, alchemy requires complete concentration and cannot be careless in the slightest. Otherwise, a batch of pills may be ruined, resulting in failure. Therefore, one's mental energy is highly focused when alchemy.

For humans, mental strength is limited. It's okay to have mental strength stretched for a short time, but it's unbearable in the long run. Even with Lu Yuan's mental strength, he felt dizzy after only four days of practicing pills. This was because he overused his mental strength.

"Lu Yuan, is this all the pills?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly as she watched Lu Yuan counting the pills.

"Well, there are mainly four kinds: Soul Return Pill, Body Tempering Pill, Qi Tempering Pill, and Spirit Enhancement Pill. Take one bottle of each. These are all for you." Lu Yuan swept his hand and placed the four bottles of pills into Zhu Zhuqing's arms, Zhu Zhuqing quickly hugged.

"The name of each pill is written on the outside. Right now, you should mainly take Body Tempering Pill and Qi Tempering Pill. Don't rush to take Spirit Enhancement Pill. You can take those after you break through to Soul Ancestor. You don't need them now. Your current task is to temper your body and hone your Soul Power. When your Soul Power is solid and your body is strong, I can give you that surprise."

"Once you absorb that, your fourth Soul Ring will be a sure thing for ten thousand years."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly.

"Lu Yuan, what exactly is this surprise you're talking about?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan with some confusion.

"You'll find out when the time comes, it'll definitely surprise you. Let me keep you in suspense for now!" Lu Yuan said, pinching Zhu Zhuqing's delicate nose.

"Alright!" Zhu Zhuqing could only obediently nod and put her four bottles of pills into her Soul Tool.

"Zhu Qing, your Soul Tool should only have ten cubic meters of storage space, right?" Lu Yuan asked, looking at the ring in Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

"Yes!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

"Ten cubic meters is too small. I'll make you a larger storage space when I have the chance. Ten cubic meters probably won't be enough," Lu Yuan said.

"Really? Then thank you, Young Master Lu!" Zhu Zhuqing smiled.

"You!" Lu Yuan tapped Zhu Zhuqing's forehead and gently stroked her long hair.

"Zhu Qing, we're going back now, back to the Heaven Dou Imperial City," Lu Yuan said, putting all the pills on the ground into his Star Ring.

"Okay, I don't mind. I'll go wherever you go," Zhu Zhuqing said earnestly.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan felt a warmth in his heart. He gently stroked Zhu Zhuqing 'Zhu Zhuqing cheek and then took her hand in his.

"Old Long!" Lu Yuan called softly.

"My lord!" As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, Long Xiaoyao's figure suddenly appeared.

"The matter here is settled. We're going back to Heaven Dou Imperial City. Go tell Dugu Bo to prepare. Also, tell him to take good care of the herbs here and be careful not to let any unauthorized people break in and cause any damage. The herbs here are very precious, and destroying any one of them would be a significant loss."

"Once the Dragon King Hall is built, I will assign someone to protect this place. It will be a secret realm exclusively for our Dragon King Hall. I also promised someone that I would bring her to see this place."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Yes, my lord!" Long Xiaoyao replied.

"Well, Old Long, you go ahead then. I'll gather a few more herbs and put them in my Star Ring. Once you're back, we'll set off back to the Heaven Dou Imperial City."

"Yes, my lord, then I shall take my leave." Long Xiaoyao nodded, then his figure flashed and disappeared.

Watching Long Xiaoyao leave, Lu Yuan began to gather some useful herbs and put them into his Star Ring, while Zhu Zhuqing followed beside him.

After collecting some medicinal herbs, Lu Yuan also filled jade bottles with spring water from the Icefire Yin Yang Well. The extremely cold and extremely hot spring water can sometimes be used as medicine.

Not long after Lu Yuan finished collecting the materials, Long Xiaoyao also returned. The group immediately got up and returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
