The Pill Forms! Dugu Bo: I have nothing to repay you with, so I'll just give you my granddaughter!

"Whoosh!"

A brilliant divine light surged from the pill furnace, and an alluring medicinal fragrance instantly permeated the air.

"It's done!!"

Su Ye wiped the bean-sized beads of sweat from his forehead, his eyes unable to hide his joy.

After spending the better part of a day and failing several times in the process, he had finally succeeded.

"Done? Is this..."

Dugu Bo, who had been guarding the side, spoke with a trembling voice. His gaze toward the furnace was exceptionally complex, with excitement, anxiety, and other emotions intertwined.

"That's right."

Su Ye collected the pills into a prepared porcelain bottle, then poured out two and handed them over.

"Nirvana Creation Pill!"

"Once you consume this, Senior, you will be able to reshape your martial soul; solving the toxins will be a trivial matter."

Dugu Bo took the pills with trembling hands. He did not doubt Su Ye's words.

Setting aside the trust he had built in Su Ye's character over the days they had spent together, the medicinal fragrance radiating from these pills alone was enough to prove their extraordinary nature.

At the same time, the palpitations of his martial soul, originating from the depths of his soul, could not be faked; he could clearly perceive his own body's craving.

"Little friend, this..."

Dugu Bo carefully tucked the pills away, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Su Ye, his expression turning serious. "I won't say much about thanks. If you ever need anything in the future, just ask. Even if it means climbing a mountain of blades or diving into a sea of fire, this old man won't even frown."

"Oh? You trust me that much, Senior? Don't you want to take the pill and see the effects first?" Su Ye raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"No need." Dugu Bo shook his head. "I consider myself a decent judge of character, and besides..."

Why would I doubt this? If my self-control weren't decent, I would have swallowed the pill following my body's instincts long ago.

With such an exaggerated reaction, he would believe Su Ye even if he said this pill could make him a god.

Su Ye nodded, though he couldn't help but mutter internally: A decent judge of character? You're truly humble, old man.

Thinking of how this old guy ran around for Tang San in the original story, only to end up...

Tsk tsk, in a way, this guy could sit at the same table as Ning Fengzhi.

"The environment here is unique and provides significant assistance in refining the pill. You can bring Miss Dugu here, Senior; the efficiency will be much higher."

Su Ye dispelled the messy thoughts in his mind and reminded Dugu Bo.

Having said that, he stopped paying attention to the other man and turned to walk toward the Mandarin Duck Pot.

After working for so many days, the great task was finally complete, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Once he consumed the Nirvana Creation Pill to improve his talent and foundation, he could truly begin to soar.

The other pills had been mostly refined over the past two days; he was just waiting to pop them and level up.

"Good, thank you for the reminder, little friend. I will go find Yan Yan right away."

Thinking of his precious granddaughter, a heartfelt smile appeared on Dugu Bo's aged face.

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something else and joked with Su Ye, "Speaking of Yan Yan, I suddenly remembered something."

"What is it?" Su Ye didn't look back, speaking nonchalantly.

"I have no way to repay your great kindness, little friend. How about I give you a granddaughter?"

"Let me tell you, that girl Yan Yan..."

Su Ye was left between laughter and tears upon hearing this. Great kindness cannot be repaid, so you offer your granddaughter?

What the hell?

Why does that sound so...

But then again, it wasn't entirely out of the question.

"Senior, you'd better stop playing matchmaker. Hurry and go find your precious granddaughter; after all, the sooner you detoxify, the sooner you'll be free."

Although he was somewhat tempted, Su Ye had no heart to think about such things right now. To him, improving his strength was the most important thing.

With that, he ignored Dugu Bo, took out a Nirvana Creation Pill, and leaped, his body submerging into the Mandarin Duck Pot.

Dugu Bo was startled, thinking, Even if you don't want to marry my granddaughter, you don't have to commit suicide, right?

Besides, is my precious granddaughter really that bad?

He quickly stepped forward, but when he saw Su Ye gradually surface, his aura surging and not a single scratch on him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This brat, playing with my heart. I'll be scared to death by you sooner or later."

Muttering a few words and confirming that Su Ye was truly fine, Dugu Bo turned serious and left the valley in a few flashes.

Su Ye was safer lying in the Mandarin Duck Pot than he would be staying by his side; there was absolutely no need for a guardian.

Right now, finding his precious granddaughter was the priority.

Su Ye paid no mind to the departure of Dugu Bo, focusing all his efforts on circulating the Void Sutra. The refined medicinal power surged like a rushing river, instantly saturating his entire body.

As time passed, Su Ye's physical form was tempered by the medicinal potency; his bones, meridians, and muscle fibers grew increasingly dense, while his physical strength and self-healing capabilities leaped in tandem.

On a mental level, the medicinal power penetrated straight into his sea of consciousness. His spiritual energy felt as if it had been cleansed, becoming crystal clear, while his range of perception expanded significantly and his control over his soul power became increasingly fluid.

His Void Mirror martial soul vibrated in synchronization, and spatial patterns began to flow across the surface of his skin.

Su Ye could feel his affinity for the void gradually increasing, and his comprehension of the Void Sutra deepening with every passing moment.

Everything was developing in a positive direction.

Just like that, he lost track of how much time had passed.

When he felt the medicinal power had been completely exhausted and Su Ye opened his eyes once more, the surrounding void suddenly began to tremble violently.

Then, as he stood up, this vibration intensified, as if the very heavens were collapsing.

Dugu Bo, who was currently guarding his precious granddaughter, noticed the commotion immediately. He fixed his gaze on the scene, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Su Ye's body was wrapped in dense, silver-white patterns. With every step he took, the space shuddered; he looked like a deity stepping out from the ancient past, causing Dugu Bo to gasp in shock.

He considered himself a man of vast experience, but Su Ye's display truly rattled him.

It was too exaggerated!

Every movement he made stirred up massive spatial fluctuations—what kind of ability was this?

"Tell me, I still don't know what your martial soul is, young friend?"

Dugu Bo was genuinely curious now. This level of disturbance clearly wasn't caused by raw strength, as even he, a Titled Douluo, couldn't achieve such a feat.

Therefore, it had to be an innate talent of his martial soul.

"Void Mirror!"

With a thought from Su Ye, a translucent circular mirror manifested.

The surface of the mirror was clear and flawless, its edges rimmed with faint, silver-white spatial patterns. At a glance, it appeared unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, one could see the reflection of an endless void, captivating the soul.

The turbulent void surrounding them immediately calmed upon the appearance of the Void Mirror, as if it had encountered the ultimate emperor of the path of the void, becoming unnervingly docile.

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue in wonder. A spatial martial soul this pure—surely this was the only one of its kind on the entire continent?

"Incredible. Today, this old man has truly..."

Dugu Bo's face was filled with shock, and just as he was about to offer praise, a dragon's roar suddenly exploded.

The roar erupted abruptly, the sound waves sweeping outward like a tidal wave. The ground trembled, air currents surged, and the oppressive weight of dragon might bore down on their minds, causing their breath to hitch.

"Yan Yan!"

Feeling the suppression emanating from the level of his own martial soul, Dugu Bo felt not a hint of displeasure, but instead looked toward the graceful figure sitting not far away with a face full of excitement.
