Su Ye casually glanced at it, then nonchalantly closed the system panel.
Just as he had expected, the rewards were garbage—just some Gold Soul Coins and a bunch of miscellaneous items.
Walking out of the cave and arriving at the place where he had refined pills yesterday, Su Ye found Dugu Bo already waiting for him.
The two greeted each other with smiles. After drinking together yesterday, their relationship had grown much closer.
The more Dugu Bo looked at Su Ye now, the more satisfied he became.
If he had not been worried about being too abrupt or making his granddaughter seem cheap, he would have directly asked: Su Ye, want a wife? Take one cheap.
"You were tired yesterday. Why didn't you sleep a little longer? The herbs are all here and aren't going anywhere, so there's no need to rush."
"At my age, how could I possibly sleep?" Su Ye replied with a smile, making a joke.
He did not chat further with him. Sitting down at yesterday's workstation, he began working.
Dugu Bo nodded to himself. Not bad, truly not bad!
Outstanding talent, astonishing methods, and he was this diligent too. His future achievements would be limitless!
When he went back later, he needed to remind Yan Yan to hurry up.
Such an excellent grandson-in-law could not be allowed to fall into someone else's hands.
Compared to yesterday, Su Ye's progress today was remarkable. His Alchemy had improved by leaps and bounds.
In just half a day, he was already able to refine mid-to-high-grade medicinal pills that aided his cultivation.
All beginnings were difficult. That saying truly was not wrong.
Yesterday had been his first time refining pills, a breakthrough from zero to one, so his efficiency had naturally been slower.
Today was different. Su Ye had already mastered the key points of practical operation, and refining all kinds of medicinal pills felt almost effortless.
Whoosh!
As a beam of light shot out from the pill furnace, several round, plump, brilliantly gleaming medicinal pills landed in Su Ye's palm.
He picked one up and, after confirming that there were no problems, tossed it directly into his mouth. The moment it entered, it transformed into a stream of pure energy that surged through his entire body.
After sensing it carefully for a moment, Su Ye nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on his incomparably handsome face.
What he had just consumed was one of the relatively high-grade medicinal pills recorded in the True Explanation of Pills—the Gathering Origin Soul-Tempering Pill!
Its primary effects were raising one's Soul Power Level and tempering Soul Power. In addition, it could slightly improve physical constitution.
However, the latter effect was far too minor to compare with medicinal pills specifically meant for body tempering, so it could be ignored.
Su Ye did not care about that either. He would certainly refine body-tempering medicinal pills and medicinal pills that improved spiritual power later on.
Since he had the means, he naturally wanted his body, energy, and spirit to advance together without leaving behind a single weakness.
He looked around but did not see Dugu Bo. Su Ye found it somewhat surprising, but did not pay it much mind.
He was extremely focused when refining pills, with limited awareness of the outside world. That Old Poison had probably left long ago.
After putting away the medicinal pills and briefly recovering his mental strength, Su Ye continued refining.
Soon, very soon!
At this pace, in a few more days, he would be able to refine the Nirvana Creation Pill.
Once he laid down an unrivaled foundation, he could begin his true journey of soaring to greatness.
Taking all kinds of medicinal pills while cultivating the Void Sutra, it would be difficult for his strength not to improve rapidly.
At the thought of that scene, Su Ye was filled with motivation. He buried himself in intense practice, refining batch after batch of medicinal pills.
At the same time.
Dugu Bo returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He could not help Su Ye with pill refinement, and even if he watched, he would not understand it.
Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to visit his granddaughter again and give her a little talk.
"Yan Yan should have that kind of interest in the kid Su too. Bringing them together should not be difficult."
Dugu Bo felt that persuading his precious granddaughter would not be hard.
After all, Su Ye had looks if one wanted looks, talent if one wanted talent. Both could even be called unparalleled in the world.
As for his character...
After interacting with him over the past two days, along with yesterday's drinking session, Dugu Bo felt he had a fairly good grasp of him.
How should he put it? The kid was not a good person in the traditional sense, but he suited Dugu Bo's tastes very well.
At the very least, he would never treat his own people poorly. Therefore, Dugu Bo was completely at ease entrusting Yan Yan to him.
After finding his precious granddaughter, Dugu Bo first reassured her once again, telling her that the poison in her Martial Soul would soon be resolved.
Then he changed the subject and asked meaningfully, "Yan Yan, how did you and Su Ye meet? Did you really only meet these past two days? You had never met before?"
"Also, what do you think of him? I think he is much better than that Yu Tianheng. You..."
Dugu Yan had not thought much of it at first and was about to answer, but upon hearing the latter half of his words, her pretty face immediately flushed bright red.
"Oh, Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? We have only known each other for two days. There is nothing else between us. And why bring up Yu Tianheng? There was never anything between him and me to begin with."
Seeing his precious granddaughter's bashful appearance, Dugu Bo immediately understood.
Nothing?
If there was nothing, why was her face so red?
Still pretending in front of Grandpa?
Tsk, tsk. Too childish. At my age, what have I not experienced? Did she really think she could hide it from me?
Seeing Dugu Bo's expression that plainly said, "I have seen through you," Dugu Yan's face grew even redder. She wanted to say something, but did not know how to begin.
In the end, she merely tossed out a "Hmph, I'm ignoring you," then dragged Ye Lingling away in a hurry.
As Dugu Bo watched his little cabbage disappear into the distance, he felt both gratified and slightly forlorn.
This would probably work out, but his little cabbage was ultimately going to be snatched away by that pig.
Still, when he thought about how he had chosen that pig himself, he felt much better.
Mm, that kid was so capable. This was not a loss.
Elsewhere.
Dugu Yan did not slowly come to a stop until she had run quite far away. The blush on her face had not faded in the slightest, making her best friend glance at her repeatedly.
"Ahem, Lingling, don't misunderstand. It's not that... Su Ye and I have only met a few times. Do I look like such a shallow person?"
Upon hearing that, Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes examined her best friend from head to toe, as if she were seriously considering it.
Just when Dugu Yan thought her best friend would nod in agreement, Ye Lingling unexpectedly nodded and said, "You do!"
Pfft!
Dugu Yan nearly spat out blood as she looked at her best friend resentfully.
Ye Lingling smiled faintly. "I'm joking. But seriously, it looks like Grandpa Dugu wants to set you up with him. Are you really not going to consider it?"
"I..."
Dugu Yan was about to speak when she suddenly seemed to sense something and turned to look in another direction.
Ye Lingling seemed to sense it as well and looked over with her.
As the two girls looked, they saw Crown Prince Xue Qinghe standing there, gazing at them with calm eyes that seemed devoid of any emotion.
At the same time, an invisible pressure seemed to be spreading from him, making both of them feel immense strain.
The two girls did not understand what was happening. They had met Crown Prince Xue Qinghe more than once, but this was the first time they had seen him like this.
He no longer possessed his usual gentleness, as though he had become an entirely different person.
The two exchanged a glance and were about to communicate with their eyes when a familiar electronic voice suddenly rang out in their minds.
[ Ding! Another Dungeon Owner has been detected nearby. Would you like to add them as a friend? ]
At the same time, Qian Renxue was also stunned, staring blankly at the two of them.
"You..."
"You two..."
