Don't Always Imagine the Road You Haven't Taken as Covered in Flowers

The Green Pine Pill, ranked in the Seventh-grade Intermediate, is a elixir specifically used to enhance Soul Power.

Qin Yu also found the main medicinal material for refining the Green Pine Pill from Han Feng's collection.

In addition, it took a lot of searching and picking through the Medicinal Materials Vault of the Jia Nan Academy to finally gather all the ingredients for the Green Pine Pill.

After all, refining this pill requires a Tier 7 Wood Attribute Magic Core.

The process of refining elixirs is quite tedious. Most students watch for the novelty, and once the novelty wears off, they leave.

Three days later, those who remained at the scene were mostly students from the Alchemy Department, as well as those with powerful families behind them and broad knowledge.

This can be considered as reducing some of the workload for the elders.

"Seventh-Rank Pill? This thing is ridiculously dazzling."

Lin Xiuyan gazed at the figure in the center of the arena, focused on refining medicine, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

There was a time when he could compete against Qin Yu in the arena, but now...

Forget about a contest; one strike would be enough to make Qin Yu beg for his life.

Perhaps there's no need to ask.

"Hey, why think so much? Others have their own paths to walk, and we have ours. Don't always imagine that the paths you haven't walked are full of flowers."

Lin Yan patted Lin Xiuyan on the shoulder.

Ever since Xiao Yan helped him get rid of the fire poison, this guy has returned to his old self.

"Besides, I don't think this guy is really any different from us just because of the difference in cultivation level."

"Why?"

"Intuition, hehe."

On the other side of the field, Xiao Yan was also watching Qin Yu's actions intently the entire time, observing his process of refining medicine.

Xiao Yan swore that this was definitely his resource and had absolutely nothing to do with Yao Lao, who called out to him every now and then in his Storage Ring!

Several more days passed, and most of the students around the venue had dispersed.

Qin Yu's alchemy project has also reached its final stage.

Dark clouds continued to gather in the sky, and the academy's elders stood ready, prepared to deal with the scattered Pill Lightning at any moment.

"Wow... this is Pill Lightning?"

"Mom, I've made something of myself! I saw Pill Lightning today!"

"The power of this Pill Lightning is probably considerable. Can the elders withstand it?"

The surrounding students were buzzing with discussion, some excited, others worried.

The next second, a figure suddenly rose into the air beside Qin Yu and rushed straight towards the Pill Lightning.

Most of the figure had turned silver-white, but the underlying bronze color could still be faintly seen.

After undergoing this period of baptism by the Pill Lightning, this Human Demon Puppet will soon evolve into Earth Demon Puppet.

Hmm, how do we distinguish between these two Earth Demon Puppet...?

Okay, let's call this special Thunder Puppet, and the one that's not particularly special a one, let's call it Earth Puppet.

As a silver serpent tore through the night sky, the Pill Lightning drawn by the completion of the Green Pine Pill began to fall continuously.

The Human Demon Puppet was at the center of the thunderstorm, frantically absorbing the power from the Pill Lightning.

During the process, a few small bolts of Pill Lightning did indeed fall out, but the elders dealt with them in time.

"I wonder where Brother Qin Yu got this puppet from; it can even absorb Pill Lightning."

Xiao Yan looked at the Thunder Puppet undergoing the baptism of Pill Lightning and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

How come they keep getting one good thing after another?

Qin Yu: Because this was originally yours, but now it's in my hands.

○(^Van^)っHiahahia...

"Judging from the appearance of that puppet, it might be related to a puppetry technique circulating on the continent called the Heavenly Demon Puppet."

Yao Chen's voice came from the Storage Ring again, tinged with consideration.

Now that things have come to this, Yao Chen seems to understand why Qin Yu had asked him for advice on the Soul Restraint Method.

Oh, so it was for making puppets. Never mind then.

As the Pill Lightning subsided, the Thunder Puppet, having absorbed the last bolt of Pill Lightning, underwent a complete transformation, its entire body now only silver-white.

Green Pine Pill, complete.

A rich spiritual energy emanated from the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron, and the students around it felt refreshed and at peace simply by taking a whiff of it.

Xiao Yan also took a deep breath, and the refreshing fragrance unconsciously relaxed his mind.

Qin Yu carefully put away the pills and left the scene.

It's been a while since I've seen Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian. They both seem to be doing quite well.

Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian had already reached the Seven-Star Dou Emperor realm, Qin Yu immediately took out a Emperor's Extreme Pill.

We'll use pills to make up the remaining two stars of cultivation.

Now, Xiao Yi Xian has finally caught up with Qin Yu in terms of cultivation.

"What are your plans next?"

Inside the room, Xiao Yi Xian leaned against Qin Yu's left side and asked in a low voice.

Yun Yun sat on the right, her eyes never leaving Qin Yu.

"Let's consume the pills we've refined over this period first, and then... let's go with Zi Yan to take a look. She said she's discovered a treasure trove."

As the three were talking, Qin Yu suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed that Yun Yun seemed to be standing a little closer than before.

Seeing her slightly reddened earlobes, Qin Yu reached out with his right hand and pulled Yun Yun into his arms as well.

Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian exchanged a glance, and their cheeks flushed simultaneously.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Yun Yun lightly punched Qin Yu's chest, but her body honestly pressed against Qin Yu's.

"Nothing much, just enjoying myself."

"Ouch... Hey, can you stop pinching my waist all the time?"

No sooner had Qin Yu said "enjoy" than he felt two hands simultaneously gripping his waist.

I felt nothing.

"What's wrong with pinching them? Your kidneys are as strong as iron, what are you afraid of being pinched?"

Xiao Yi Xian withdrew her hand, but Yun Yun didn't feel embarrassed at all.

She's already been tormented by those iron-hard kidneys so many times, can't she even pinch them a couple of times?

"Fine, go ahead and pinch me. You'll have plenty of time to pinch me tonight."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun immediately stopped what she was doing.

Qin Yu thought he had successfully gained the upper hand, but to his surprise, the next second, Yun Yun gritted her teeth, as if she had made a desperate decision:

"Fine, I'll squeeze you to death tonight!"

As soon as she spoke, Yun Yun's face flushed red at a visible speed.

No matter what, we can't lose in terms of momentum!

Then, their words became increasingly explicit, but neither of them admitted defeat first.

The Xiao Yi Xian was terrified. Her face flushed, and she covered her face as she hurriedly fled the place.

Sister Yun Yun, aren't you afraid of being punished by Teacher Shenhe for talking like that?

A few days later, Qin Yu walked out of Yun Yun's room as if nothing had happened.

Accompanying him Yun Yun, whose face was rosy but whose body felt somewhat weak.

As soon as they stepped outside, Yun Yun climbed onto Qin Yu's back, acting like a little girl and asking him to carry her.

"At least you have some conscience this time, you didn't leave before it was all over."

After resting at home for two more days, Qin Yu finally took the Green Pine Pill he had previously refined, as well as another useful Seventh-Rank Pill.
