Kuang Tang was overjoyed, and his attitude became even more respectful.

Though there were dozens of 4th Rank Alchemists in the Jiamai Empire, the number who could actually refine the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill was extremely limited.

The Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill, as a peak fourth-grade medicinal pill, could rival a fifth-grade pill.

To put it bluntly, a 4th Rank Alchemist who could refine the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill was not far from becoming a 5th Rank Alchemist.

Xiao Yan was able to refine it at the Alchemist Conference largely due to luck. Otherwise, with his then-current level of skill, even with the help of the Strange Fire, he wouldn't have been able to refine it.

Moreover, the refinement of this pill was extremely demanding, requiring the conversion of three different flames, necessitating an extremely strong control over fire.

Throughout the entire Jiamai Empire, including Gu He and Fama, there were absolutely no more than ten alchemists who could refine the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill.

Kuang Tang gained a new level of respect for Su Yun's alchemy skills.

If Su Yun could refine the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill at his current age, there was a good chance he would break through to the 5th Rank Alchemist in ten years.

Kuang Tang felt very fortunate about his actions during this time.

Though he hadn't successfully recruited Su Yun, a single Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill was enough to make up for it. More importantly, he had formed a bond with this future 5th Rank Alchemist, which was the most crucial part.

Kuang Tang took the sheepskin scroll.

"Thank you, Master Han."

Su Yun nodded, finding it convenient to speak with someone intelligent.

With the matter settled, Su Yun didn't stay at the Mittel Auction House any longer and returned home.

"Big Brother Su Yun."

A clear and melodious voice echoed in the air.

Little Medical Fairy, dressed in a simple white dress, had a faint smile on her face. Her watery eyes sparkled with joy, and her entire being exuded a fresh and ethereal aura.

Though he always treated Little Medical Fairy like a younger sister, she was actually one year older than him.

It was just that Su Yun was taller, so they always referred to each other as brother and sister.

Little Medical Fairy stepped forward and hugged Su Yun.

Su Yun patted Little Medical Fairy's little head, a hint of awkwardness flashing in his eyes.

Even in his previous life, a twelve-year-old girl had already begun to develop. In this Martial Arts Continent, with the nourishment of martial energy, the development time was even earlier.

Little Medical Fairy was now at the budding stage.

In Su Yun's arms, Little Medical Fairy carefully felt the warm aura, unwilling to let go for a long time.

Su Yun had overlooked one thing: girls mature psychologically earlier...

Little Medical Fairy was now at the stage where her emotions were just beginning to open up.

A trace of reluctance flashed in Little Medical Fairy's eyes, but she still left Su Yun's embrace.

"It's noon. I'll go make lunch, Big Brother Su Yun, please wait a moment."

With that, Little Medical Fairy turned and ran away.

Su Yun watched Little Medical Fairy from behind, his gaze involuntarily moving to her waist. Her slender waist, bound by a green sash, was so slim that it could be encircled with one hand, making one want to touch it and feel its delicacy and fragility.

Su Yun shook his head vigorously. This was too much.

Not long after, Little Medical Fairy brought out the dishes.

Little Medical Fairy first served a bowl to Su Yun, then served herself.

The two sat opposite each other, and though the dishes were just simple home-cooked meals, they created a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Su Yun felt a bit sentimental. His life was becoming more and more fulfilling.

In the evening, Su Yun had just finished his cultivation and was about to wash up and rest when his expression suddenly changed.

Something was coming.

Having practiced the Soul Technique for some time, his soul power had naturally increased, and his perception had become much more sensitive.

Su Yun told Little Medical Fairy to hide and not come out, then he walked out of the door alone.

His house was in a remote area, close to the Beast Mountain Range, so it was not uncommon for magical beasts to occasionally run out from the mountains and cause trouble.

This had happened before, but they were mostly first or second-rank magical beasts. With Su Yun's strength, he had made Little Medical Fairy cook and eat them.

"Roar!"

A tiger appeared in Su Yun's field of vision. It was a Raging Wind Tiger.

Judging by its size, it should already be an adult, making it a third-rank magical beast.

Su Yun was somewhat surprised. Third-rank magical beasts were very rare in the outer areas of the Beast Mountain Range. He hadn't encountered any during his time there.

Let alone one that had run out of the Beast Mountain Range to hunt.

Su Yun's eyes narrowed. This was perfect for some practice.

After breaking through to the Great Martial Master, he hadn't had a chance to engage in combat, so he was feeling a bit itchy.

"Roar!"

The Raging Wind Tiger let out an angry roar and charged at Su Yun.

This type of magical beast was known for its speed, faster even than wind-attribute martial practitioners. Most Great Martial Masters, without practicing body movement techniques, would only be able to eat its dust.

Su Yun, however, was not in that category. He had previously consumed a magic core and perfected several martial techniques, including body movement techniques.

The distance between man and beast grew closer. The Raging Wind Tiger's front claws extended, and just as it was about to pounce on Su Yun, Su Yun's figure suddenly vanished.

When Su Yun reappeared, he was already fifty meters behind the Raging Wind Tiger.

The Mysterious Shadow Step, an Intermediate Rank Profound Body Movement Martial Skill.

Once mastered, it could significantly increase a practitioner's speed, suitable for short-range evasive movements. When perfected, it could be used silently, further enhancing the speed.

A long sword appeared in Su Yun's hand. It was the first-rank magic core sword he had used before.

Of course, it was now a third-rank magic core sword, created by Su Yun using the system's fusion function to combine a third-rank ice attribute magic core with the sword.

He named it Cold Jade.

In his previous life, Su Yun had a martial arts dream. With a long sword in hand, he could roam the rivers and lakes, how wonderful.

Now that he had the means, he naturally wanted to fulfill that dream.

Frost Shattering Jade!

The moment the Cold Jade sword appeared in Su Yun's hand, he immediately infused it with martial energy and used a martial technique.

Nine icy sword auras attacked the Raging Wind Tiger from different angles, blocking all its escape routes.

The sword auras glowed with a cold light, and the air around them was filled with white mist.

There was no doubt that if the icy sword auras hit the Raging Wind Tiger, its speed, which it prided itself on, would be greatly reduced.

The speed of the sword auras was extremely fast. It wasn't until they were within three feet of the Raging Wind Tiger that it reacted.

The Raging Wind Tiger let out another roar and instinctively charged in one direction.

Though third-rank magical beasts didn't have high intelligence, their instincts as magical beasts were already very strong.

This choice was perfect. The nine icy sword auras had completely blocked its escape routes, and no matter what, it would be hit.

Since that was the case, it might as well charge in one direction, which would allow it to dodge a few sword auras. It was better than staying still and being hit by all of them.

Sure enough, out of the nine sword auras, only four hit it.

The Raging Wind Tiger let out a mournful howl. Su Yun had already perfected the Frost Shattering Jade technique, and each sword aura was extraordinarily powerful. The areas hit were left with deep wounds, three feet deep.

Before the Raging Wind Tiger could catch its breath, Su Yun disappeared again, reappearing beside it.
