Chapter 98 Refinement
After storing away the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Nectar, Su Yun proceeded to conduct another round of treatment on Nalan Jie, leaving him feeling like he was on the verge of death and yet longing for immortality.
After expressing his gratitude, Nalan Jie dragged his weakened body away from the Meter Family.
"Kid, what are your plans now? With your talent, you can't possibly stay in the Gamma Empire forever," Haibodong asked calmly, crossing his arms.
Upon hearing this, Su Yun stood up and walked to Haibodong's side.
"Naturally, the Gamma Empire is too small for me to spread my wings. Now that I have obtained the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Nectar, there is no need for me to stay here anymore. You've heard of the reputation of the Canaan Academy compared to that of the Hailao," Su Yun said, locking eyes with Haibodong as they discussed their future.
At Haibodong's words, a hint of bewilderment flashed in his pale eyebrows.
"I am naturally aware of Canaan Academy. Do you plan to study at Canaan Academy? With your strength, I'm afraid you won't learn much there. The enrollment conditions there are only at the eight-stage Qi level. Even the Inner Court, rumored to be a gathering place for geniuses, probably has no one who can match you," Haibodong said, not quite understanding Su Yun's decision.
In his view, Su Yun's current strength could easily deal with fifth-rank magical beasts. With such strength, it was not a problem to graduate directly from Canaan Academy.
Su Yun smiled faintly. While outsiders knew that Canaan Academy had strong teaching capabilities, especially in the Inner Court, they were not aware of its true mysteries.
Su Yun briefly mentioned the effectiveness of the Heaven Incinerating Qi Refining Tower in Canaan Academy to Haibodong.
"So there's such a miraculous place."
Haibodong's eyes flashed with surprise.
"No wonder you want to go there. With the effect of the Heaven Incinerating Qi Refining Tower in the Inner Court, you will probably enter the King Realm in a short time," Haibodong said, understanding Su Yun's plan but still puzzled.
"But if you go to Canaan Academy, where will I go? I can't stay in the Gamma Empire and wait for you to return, can I?" Haibodong asked, as outsiders were not allowed into Canaan Academy, even family members of students could only stay briefly.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Yun's eyes.
This old guy settled down so easily after boarding his ship? But considering the talent and status he displayed, Su Yun felt somewhat relieved.
Of course, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old sixth-grade alchemist was fully worthy of being sought after by Dou Emperor-level experts.
Su Yun did not answer Haibodong's question directly, instead asking, "I wonder how the preparations for the Reviving Purple Pill are going?"
Hearing Su Yun's question, Haibodong's expression turned slightly embarrassed.
"It's not going very smoothly," Haibodong replied truthfully.
Su Yun chuckled. He had expected this situation long ago. Some of the ingredients for refining the Reviving Purple Pill were quite difficult to find.
The pill that Xiao Yan had refined for Haibodong had its ingredients obtained from Han Feng's Storage Ring.
"Haibodong, if you can't find them in the Gamma Empire, you might as well try elsewhere. For example, the Black Corner Region," Su Yun suggested.
Haibodong's expression changed upon hearing this. At this point, he already understood Su Yun's intention.
This kid really doesn't regard me as a person to give orders. He actually wants me to go to that place, the Black Corner Region!
Su Yun noticed the change in Haibodong's expression.
"Aren't you afraid? The Ice Emperor, who once roamed the Gamma Empire, is now old. You don't lack courage, do you?" Su Yun teased.
Haibodong looked at Su Yun irritably.
"Afraid? When have I, Haibodong, ever been afraid?"
"Oh, are you afraid of Medusa?"
Upon hearing this, Haibodong's body stiffened, a flash of fear crossing his face.
"You brat, you really know how to hit where it hurts!" Haibodong said, slightly calming himself down.
"Although the Black Corner Region is chaotic and dangerous, with my strength, I have no worries about self-preservation there. But, kid, what exactly do you want me to do there?" Haibodong asked, not genuinely fearful.
The leaders of the various major forces in the Black Corner Region were only at the Emperor Realm. With his strength, Haibodong could either defeat them or escape.
"The Black Corner Region has many things worth planning for. You should establish yourself there first, and when the time is right, I will inform you," Su Yun said with a smirk.
He wasn't lying to Haibodong; the resources in the Black Corner Region were definitely much richer than those in the Gamma Empire. Haibodong would probably be able to gather the ingredients for the Reviving Purple Pill quickly once he went there.
As for why he wanted Haibodong to go to the Black Corner Region, it was naturally because there were good things there.
Not to mention anything else, just the third fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire map was worth the trip.
Of course, what he wanted most was the Sea Heart Flame in Han Feng's possession!
After discussing a few more details, Su Yun returned to his room.
After confirming that there was no one nearby, Su Yun's figure flashed and he returned to the system space.
The medicine cauldron and the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Nectar were in front of Su Yun, along with several other types of medicinal herbs.
Su Yun licked his dry lips, his Qi fluctuating within his body. A green flame appeared in his palm as he slapped it towards the medicine cauldron.
He began refining various medicinal herbs. Under the effect of the Green Lotus Core Flame, the medicinal herbs were quickly refined. Then, Su Yun began refining the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Nectar. This time, the refining process was not as fast, as the grade of the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Nectar was not low, and it took some time even with the Green Lotus Core Flame's tempering.
After a while, the refining of the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Nectar was completed.
Su Yun combined several medicinal liquids together, and in no time, a strange liquid appeared in the medicine cauldron.
Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Su Yun's eyes.
He wasn't like Xiao Yan back then, who could only roughly refine the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Nectar to restore Medicine Elder's depleted soul power.
The other medicinal herbs also had some benefits for soul power. When combined with the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Nectar, the overall effect was enhanced!
Su Yun was a little impatient. He used a jade bottle to collect the medicinal liquid, then sat cross-legged, swallowed it in one gulp, and activated his Soul Decision to refine the medicinal power!
As time passed, the power of the strange medicinal liquid was gradually refined by Su Yun, and a huge soul power surged out, causing ripples in the system space.
This was the ripple formed spontaneously after the enhancement of soul power.
If this were to happen in the Imperial Capital, it would probably cause a sensation.
This was also the reason why Su Yun chose to refine it in the system space.
This ripple was difficult to not be sensed by the people of the Soul Palace.
Although he was not afraid, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
It was not wise to confront the Soul Palace too early.
A Martial Spirit with a soul power in the Perfect Realm would be more attractive to the Soul Palace than a mere sixth-grade alchemist.
The always steady Su Yun still chose to play it safe.
After completely refining the medicinal power, Su Yun felt the immense power and satisfaction in his heart.
As he steadily rose in strength according to his plan, he also gained some trump cards.
He liked this feeling very much.
Step by step, according to his own plan, he climbed upward.
Although this process of ascent was not as fast as those in those power fantasy novels, and he would still experience hardships and dangers along the way, he was already stronger and luckier than most people in this world.
