Pill Refining Like Drinking Water, Library

The two walked out of the academy side by side under the students' watchful gazes.

Most of the male students felt envious. If only they could get along harmoniously with the goddess Gu Yue Na like this child did.

Gu Yue Na usually maintained a cold and aloof demeanor around the students. Other than studying, she barely interacted with anyone else.

Thus, during her years at the academy, she had not made a single friend. She had always been alone, an existence others saw as unapproachable.

Now that they could see Gu Yue Na being so close to a child, how could they not be envious?

She had no friends, but she still had quite a few admirers. Many self-proclaimed genius youths had confessed to her, yet not one had succeeded. All they received was one word: "Scram!"

"Beep, beep, beep..." As they walked along the street, Gu Yue Na's communicator suddenly rang.

Gu Yue Na slowed her pace and took out her communicator. Seeing that the caller was Principal Xu Lin, she could not help glancing at Yun Ze.

"Principal, what is it?" Gu Yue Na answered the call and directly asked why he was calling.

A few minutes later, Gu Yue Na relayed what Principal Xu Lin had told her to Yun Ze.

"It seems I've already caught the Federation Research Institute's attention." Yun Ze chuckled.

Gu Yue Na nodded in agreement. "Although Xu Lin didn't directly say which important figure wanted to meet you, there are only a few people he would call an important figure."

"Among them, the one with close ties to Sun Moon Royal Academy would be the president of the Federation Research Institute."

"I'd guess that person will definitely invite you to join the Federation Research Institute. They may even want to take you as a disciple." Gu Yue Na smiled.

She had experienced all of this herself, and it was highly likely to happen to Yun Ze as well.

"He also asked you to attend the meeting. When the time comes, cooperate with me and turn all of it down," Yun Ze said.

"No problem. I'll definitely cooperate with you properly when the time comes," Gu Yue Na replied cheerfully.

The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived at a hotel nearly a thousand meters from the academy. They rented two rooms and settled in.

Xu Lin had intended to arrange an independent dormitory for Yun Ze, but Yun Ze had declined. Living outside the academy would make things more convenient for him.

Gu Yue Na normally lived in the academy's independent three-bedroom apartment. She had only rented a room now so that Yun Ze could conveniently guide her cultivation at night.

Whether she would move outside in the future had yet to be decided.

Not long after checking in, Gu Yue Na received a call from Leng Yaozhu. Her teacher had arrived in Mingdu and wanted to see her.

After informing Yun Ze, Gu Yue Na left the hotel and headed to the place she had arranged to meet Leng Yaozhu.

Once Yun Ze returned to his hotel room, he first called Bi Ji and had her transfer 130 million Federal Currency to Xu Lin.

Bi Ji did not ask why. When Yun Ze told her to make the transfer, she carried it out without hesitation.

Only after Bi Ji had completed the transfer did Yun Ze begin Pill Refining.

He had plenty of medicinal herbs in his Storage Ring, as well as a Pill Furnace, making it very convenient to refine pills.

Foundation Establishment Pills and Breakthrough Pills were extremely difficult for Bi Ji and the others to refine, but they posed no challenge to him.

He controlled his flames with exquisite precision, keeping all the heat contained within the Pill Furnace without letting it spread. The temperature throughout the rest of the room remained normal.

Refining one large batch took only about half an hour. With a 100 percent success rate, one hundred round, plump Foundation Establishment Pills were produced just like that. If Bi Ji had seen this, she would definitely have doubted her life.

Pill Refining truly was as easy as drinking water for Yun Ze. Only his Soul Power limited him, preventing him from refining continuously without interruption.

After refining each batch, he needed to rest for more than forty minutes before he could continue. By eight that evening, he had accumulated six hundred pills.

Half were Foundation Establishment Pills and half were Breakthrough Pills, all of top quality. Their effects were at least twice as strong as the ones Bi Ji refined.

Whenever his Soul Power was depleted, he circulated two cultivation arts to cultivate. His Soul Power absorption speed, comparable to that of a high-level Soul King, allowed his Soul Power to recover extremely quickly.

Pill Refining was also a rather good method of cultivation for him. During the process, his Soul Power was depleted and restored repeatedly, receiving thorough tempering that made it more condensed and abundant. Cultivating this way also increased the rate at which his total Soul Power grew.

After checking the time, Yun Ze did not continue refining pills. He washed up briefly, changed out of his sweat-soaked clothes, and left the room in a white long robe.

After eating something simple to satisfy his hunger, he knocked on Gu Yue Na's door.

After having dinner with Leng Yaozhu, Gu Yue Na had returned to the hotel. She had not disturbed Yun Ze, waiting for him to come find her.

Inside the room, Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na sat cross-legged facing each other, their palms pressed together.

"Don't resist the guidance of my Soul Power. Carefully remember the route my Soul Power takes next," Yun Ze instructed.

"Mm." Gu Yue Na nodded seriously, completely lowering her guard and allowing Yun Ze's Soul Power to enter her body.

Yun Ze's Soul Power began circulating through Gu Yue Na's body, and Gu Yue Na mobilized her own Soul Power to follow it, moving entirely along with Yun Ze's Soul Power.

After following Yun Ze's Soul Power through several cycles, Gu Yue Na discovered where she had gone wrong before.

She began carefully memorizing Yun Ze's circulation route. As she circulated her Soul Power along that path, she was astonished to find that her Soul Power absorption speed had increased by nearly thirty percent.

Yun Ze guided Gu Yue Na's cultivation for over an hour, then answered some of her questions regarding the Demon God Art before finally leaving.

The next morning, Gu Yue Na and Yun Ze arrived at the academy together.

Gu Yue Na went to class, while Yun Ze headed to the Library to read.

Yun Ze showed the identity card Principal Xu Lin had given him and used it to enter the fourth floor of the Library directly. "Who is that child? How can he enter the fourth floor of the Library?" The students researching materials there were all greatly surprised by this sight. They knew the Library's rules well—without the corresponding authority, it was absolutely impossible to enter the designated floor. Only the academy's core students and upper management could enter the fourth floor. Could this child already be a core student? "Teacher, may I ask why that child was allowed to enter the fourth floor?" Those with especially strong curiosity ran over to ask the teacher stationed on the fourth floor. Their tones were respectful and cautious, afraid of angering him. The guardian of the fourth-floor Library was an old man over sixty, frail with age, who normally needed a cane even to walk. After confirming Yun Ze's identity, he lay down on a wooden chair with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Go read your books. Don't disturb this old man's rest," the old man said in an aged, hoarse voice. "Yes." The student who had asked immediately responded respectfully and hurried away, not daring to persist with further questions. The old man never opened his eyes. He swayed leisurely as the wooden chair let out soft creaks. Tonight's meeting should be related to this child. More than six years old, with twenty-first-level Soul Power... truly unprecedented, the old man thought.
