That Princess Is Important to Him, Isn't She?

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

When Qin Yi returned to the Separate Courtyard, he immediately saw the Gang Jing standing there staring at him, looking like he was waiting for him to speak. Qin Yi patted him on the shoulder kindly and went inside without saying a word.

Even though everyone knows she's Gang Jing, why would she fall for it?

Ying Li certainly didn't expect that Qin Yi's experience in dealing with Gang Jing was far richer than his experience in fighting. He knew very well that as long as he didn't say anything, even the most Gang Jing wouldn't find an opportunity to argue, and since they wouldn't dare to pick a fight with the customer, wouldn't that solve the problem?

So, living here comfortably is actually quite simple.

Qin Yi took out Wolf Tooth Club from his ring, and then took out a Pill Furnace. Without saying a word, he prepared to start refining pills.

Liusu clicked her tongue. "I thought you'd brag to me about how a beautiful woman threw herself at you first."

"What's there to brag about?"

"Aren't you secretly pleased?"

Qin Yi paused in his work of distributing medicine, then sighed, "It would be a lie to say I wasn't secretly pleased. But Bangbang, bragging about rejecting girls as a battle achievement feels really scummy... It's not something to be happy about."

Liusu paused for a moment, swallowing back the sarcastic remarks she had prepared. She slowly said, "I've been observing her. She is indeed human, without any cultivation. But I still feel that this woman has a secret... If it weren't for not wanting to cause any trouble, I would have advised you to agree to her request and see what tricks she has up her sleeve."

"Trash sticks."

"Hmph." Liusu's tone was unyielding. "Perhaps my soul power is insufficient to see through Gao Ming's hidden abilities, so hurry up and refine the pills, I need strength!"

"Why do I get the feeling that your intense desire to improve your strength this time is actually to satisfy that nagging, gossipy streak in your heart?"

"..." Liusu denied it, stubbornly saying, "It's because since entering the Rift Valley, the systems I've come into contact with are different and of a higher level, which has caused many of my judgments to become wrong, and this feeling is very uncomfortable."

"For example?"

"For example, that White Bone Token, it doesn't seem to have Law Power at all, right? It's practically shatterable with a single squeeze, yet it makes Chenghuang value it so much, it's really strange."

"Hmm... that's true." Although the White Bone Token's purpose was meaningless to Qin Yi, he still accepted Liusu's explanation. He should have seen through everything, and he had done all the pretense, but instead, he kept making mistakes, which was indeed very frustrating.

However, Qin Yi felt that this was not just a matter of soul power... You've been out of the light of day for so long, it's not surprising that you haven't encountered some new tricks before... Of course, if your soul power is high, you can see through these low-level things even if you haven't encountered them before.

Without saying much, he began preparing the medicine.

The Demon Blood Black Lotus originally had extremely high soul-nourishing value. The reason it couldn't be refined into pills for so long was the lack of other ingredients. Now that we have Lingering Soul Grass and Golden Soul Flower, and with the addition of some other auxiliary materials, we can refine Divine Treasure Pill of grade six.

The sixth rank is far too difficult for Qin Yi at his current level, and he cannot afford to be distracted in the slightest.

The art of alchemy itself doesn't require a high level of Law Power. External Pill alchemy and internal alchemy are two different things. The very premise of alchemy is to allow those with low Law Power to take shortcuts and greatly improve their cultivation by refining elixirs. If the requirement for high Law Power were high, it would be a paradox. Therefore, only a certain level of Law Power is needed. The real difficulties lie in three aspects: first, the Pill Formula are extremely rare; second, the preparation of the ingredients requires absolute precision; and third, fire.

The first two points are not a problem at all with Liusu; Qin Yi is just a medicine-dispensing device. The real issue that Qin Yi needs to solve himself is fire.

Fire refers not only to the temperature but also to the intensity of the heat. Lower-level elixirs only require ordinary fire, while higher-level elixirs require special fire; otherwise, the medicine might not even dissolve, let alone achieve its special effects.

If it weren't for the Witchcraft Sacrifice Fire, Qin Yi wouldn't have dared to refine such a high-grade sixth-rank pill, as the success rate would be practically zero. Even with the aid of the sacrificial fire, the success rate was still quite low; the fire temperature wasn't high enough, and his control and Law Power of mana were all problematic.

But Liusu were starving and needed to be fed, they couldn't care less; they would keep refining them even if it meant ruining several batches.

This actually raises a new issue: the furnace. A poor-quality Pill Furnace simply cannot withstand the high temperatures, and the required precision in heating will also be compromised. It's no longer at the level where you could refine pills with just a pottery jar in Immortal Trace Mountain. Fortunately, the furnace obtained from the Witcher is still sufficient for now, but if you want to take it a step further, you'll have to replace it.

The deeper he got into the relationship, the more he understood why the time-traveling predecessors had to hunt for treasures. Even if you didn't follow the resource-based approach, you needed at least some basic tools; these were necessities, not something you could just hide in the mountains to solve. As for the predecessors who could refine pills with a pressure cooker, it could only be described as a benevolent act of the Plane Will; Qin Yi was so envious he wanted to cry.

However, Qin Yi, who was born into good fortune but didn't realize it, didn't think that having a sixth-grade Pill Formula at his fingertips, with someone personally instructing him on the precision of every single ingredient, would make most people who Pill Formula their lives and ruined their pills, only to have them turn into worthless waste, envious to the point of tears.

Chenghuang withdrew his clone and left the meditation room with an amused expression.

She was going to check on how her newly accepted apprentice was doing in his training.

Upon arriving at Ye Ling's "Eastern Palace," one immediately sees Ye Ling wrapped in a small blanket, lying on the ground cultivating.

"..." The methods of Demon Cultivator do indeed emphasize following the habits of one's original form, and do not involve human sitting cross-legged or anything like that. However, Ye Ling's bizarre cultivation posture still left Chenghuang with a lot of complaints and he didn't know how to express them.

Why would you wrap yourself in a blanket while cultivating? Those who know you'll say you're cultivating, but those who don't will think you're sleeping, or even sleeping on the ground.

How could your brother stand such a filthy child?

Ye Ling opened her eyes, looked at the floor-length dress in front of her in a daze, and then looked up along the long legs, but her gaze was blocked by the towering peaks, and she couldn't even see the face.

Ye Ling shrank back pitifully and sniffled, "Master."

Actually, she felt it would be better for Li Qingjun to become her apprentice...

Chenghuang picked her up, looked her over, and nodded with satisfaction. "I thought you were too playful and clingy to your brother, but I didn't expect you to be able to cultivate so peacefully for a whole day. Didn't you think about going to find your brother?"

"Because my brother is definitely preparing medicine and refining pills today, we can't disturb him."

Chenghuang paused, then, remembering the pile of medicinal herbs Qin Yi had bought, exclaimed in surprise, "You really know him well."

"Of course!" Ye Ling puffed out her small chest, then slumped down again.

"Hmm..." Chenghuang blinked, then suddenly asked, "You want to marry your brother, don't you?"

"No way!" Ye Ling jumped up immediately. "Brother has a lover."

Chenghuang remained unchanged. "Who is it? Prettier than you?"

"She's a human Princess, not particularly pretty, and a bit silly..."

Chenghuang almost laughed so hard he fell over. You actually call someone stupid? That's really strange.

"But my brother loves her very much. He came to the Rift Valley this time, knowing that the hope was slim, that he couldn't defeat the Witcher, and that he didn't like the Demon City... but he still gritted his teeth and went into danger, all for her sake."

"Oh, so you mean he was looking for the solution to that curse and the treasure to prolong his life, all for her?"

Ye Ling didn't answer that question, but asked seriously, "Master, do you have methods to extend your lifespan?"

Chenghuang tilted his head. "You've become my disciple, is that what you're after?"

Ye Ling scratched her head awkwardly. "I didn't think of that when I became an apprentice, I only remembered it now."

"Ha..." Chenghuang said leisurely, "The ability to extend lifespan does exist, but it's not something Chenghuang of my level can achieve. For those who truly understand, raising a Chenghuang to the Ancestor Saint realm would consume more resources than it would be better to break through on its own. Only fools would listen to this rumor and keep trying to take advantage of me."

Ye Ling, who had been called a fool, lowered her head and sighed inwardly.

No matter how I think about it, I feel that my brother's goal for this trip is becoming increasingly distant.

Ye Ling sensed that her brother's smiles had noticeably decreased and his mood had worsened since entering the Demon City. Besides the uncomfortable atmosphere of the Demon City, the main reason was the brother's passive feeling of having no clear goal and the growing sense of despair.

Ye Ling felt that if it were her, she would have hidden away long ago, since no one would come down from the rift to settle scores with her. But Qin Yi hadn't considered such a thing at all; that wild Princess was very important to him, wasn't she?

"That Princess is very important to him, isn't she?" Chenghuang asked. "I'm very curious about how far this foolish male, who doesn't even want me... will go for that Princess."

Ye Ling didn't understand at all; she instinctively felt that her brother was about to be in trouble...
