After putting away the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva, Su Yun proceeded to give Nalan Jie a treatment that left her feeling both blissful and exhausted.
Nalan Jie, filled with gratitude, left the Miter Family with her weakened body.
"Kid, what are your plans next?
With your talent, you can't stay in the Jia Ma Empire forever, right?"
Hai Bo Dong crossed his arms, his tone indifferent as he asked.
Upon hearing this, Su Yun stood up and walked over to Hai Bo Dong.
"Of course not, the Jia Ma Empire is too small for me to spread my wings.
Now that I have the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva, there's no need for me to stay here any longer.
I'm sure you've heard of Jia Nan Academy, right?"
Su Yun and Hai Bo Dong looked at each other, discussing their future plans.
Hai Bo Dong's pale eyebrows furrowed as he heard this.
"I'm well aware of Jia Nan Academy. You want to study there?
With your strength, you probably won't learn much there.
The admission requirement is only eight segments of Martial Qi.
Even in the Inner Academy, where geniuses gather, no one would be your match."
Hai Bo Dong didn't fully understand Su Yun's decision.
In his view, Su Yun's current strength could easily handle a fifth-rank magical beast.
Such power meant that not only could he easily enter the academy, but he could even graduate without any issues.
Su Yun smiled slightly. While everyone knew about Jia Nan Academy's strong teaching capabilities and the wonders of the Inner Academy, few understood its true secrets.
Su Yun mentioned the effects of the Heavenly Burning Qi Tower within Jia Nan Academy to Hai Bo Dong.
"Such a miraculous place actually exists."
A look of surprise flashed across Hai Bo Dong's eyes.
"No wonder you're so eager to get in. Once you're in the Inner Academy, combined with the effects of the Heavenly Burning Qi Tower, you could likely reach the Martial King realm in a short time."
Hai Bo Dong understood Su Yun's plan but was still a bit puzzled.
"But if you go to Jia Nan Academy, where will I go?
I can't just stay in the Jia Ma Empire and wait for you to come back, can I?"
Jia Nan Academy didn't allow outsiders, and even family members of the students could only stay for a short time.
Su Yun's eyes flickered with surprise at this.
This old man had really settled in on his ship, hadn't he?
But then again, considering his displayed talent and identity, it made sense.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old sixth-rank alchemist was indeed worth a Martial Emperor's allegiance.
Su Yun didn't answer Hai Bo Dong's question but instead asked, "What about the ingredients for the Rejuvenating Purple Pill? How's the preparation going?"
Hai Bo Dong's expression turned awkward at Su Yun's question.
"It's not going well."
Hai Bo Dong answered honestly.
Su Yun chuckled; he had expected as much. Some of the ingredients needed for the Rejuvenating Purple Pill were quite rare.
The one Xiao Yan had refined for Hai Bo Dong had its ingredients sourced from Han Feng's storage ring.
"Old Hai, if you can't find them in the Jia Ma Empire, why not try elsewhere?
For example, the Black Horn Region."
Hai Bo Dong's expression changed at this suggestion. He knew exactly what Su Yun meant.
Good kid, you really don't treat me like a person.
You actually want me to go to the Black Horn Region!
Hai Bo Dong's expression changed, and Su Yun noticed it.
"Afraid, are you?
The Ice Emperor who once dominated the Jia Ma Empire, are you now too old to have the courage?"
Hai Bo Dong glared at Su Yun irritably.
"Afraid? When have I, Hai Bo Dong, ever been afraid?"
"Oh, you're not afraid of Medusa?"
Hai Bo Dong's body stiffened, and a look of fear flashed across his face.
"You little brat, you always bring up the worst things!"
Hai Bo Dong calmed himself down.
"The Black Horn Region is chaotic and dangerous, but with my strength, I can ensure my own safety.
But, what exactly do you want me to do there?"
Hai Bo Dong wasn't really afraid.
The leaders of the major forces in the Black Horn Region were only at the Martial Emperor level. With his strength, he could either escape or avoid a fight if necessary.
"The Black Horn Region has many valuable resources.
Establish yourself there first, and when the time is right, I'll tell you what to do."
Su Yun said with a smile.
He wasn't lying to Hai Bo Dong. The resources in the Black Horn Region far exceeded those in the Jia Ma Empire.
Hai Bo Dong should be able to gather the ingredients for the Rejuvenating Purple Pill there relatively quickly.
As for why Su Yun wanted Hai Bo Dong to go to the Black Horn Region, it was because there were good things to be found there.
Not to mention, the third fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map was worth a trip.
Of course, what he wanted most was the Sea Heart Flame in Han Feng's possession!
After discussing some details, Su Yun returned to his room.
Once he was sure no one was around, Su Yun focused his mind, and his figure flashed, returning to the system space.
The Alchemy Cauldron and the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva were in front of Su Yun, along with several other ingredients.
Su Yun licked his dry lips, his internal energy stirred, and a green flame appeared in his palm, which he then pressed onto the Alchemy Cauldron.
He began to refine the various ingredients.
Under the effect of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, the ingredients were quickly refined. Su Yun then began to refine the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva.
This time, the process wasn't as quick. The Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva was of high quality, and even with the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, it took some time.
After a while, the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva was refined.
Su Yun combined the various liquid medicines, and soon a strange liquid appeared in the Alchemy Cauldron.
Seeing this, a smile flashed across Su Yun's eyes.
He wasn't like Xiao Yan, who could only roughly refine the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva to restore the Medicine Master's depleted soul power.
The other ingredients also benefited the soul power, and when combined with the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva, the overall effect was even better!
Su Yun couldn't wait. He poured the liquid into a jade bottle, sat cross-legged, and swallowed it, then began to circulate his Soul Technique to refine the medicinal power!
As time passed, the medicinal power of the strange liquid was gradually refined by Su Yun. A massive wave of soul power surged out of his body, causing ripples in the system space.
This was the natural fluctuation caused by the increase in soul power.
If this happened in the capital, it would certainly cause a stir.
This was why Su Yun chose to refine the medicine in the system space.
The fluctuations might be sensed by the Soul Temple.
While he wasn't afraid, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Confronting the Soul Temple too early wouldn't be wise.
A Spirit Fighter with Perfect Mortal Realm Soul Power was far more attractive to the Soul Temple than a mere sixth-rank alchemist.
The always cautious Su Yun chose to play it safe.
After completely refining the medicinal power, Su Yun felt the massive power and was satisfied.
As his plans unfolded step by step, his strength steadily increased, and he gained more trump cards.
He enjoyed this feeling.
Step by step, following his own plans, climbing higher.
This process of growth, though not as exhilarating as the instant rise of a protagonist in a light novel, still involved hardships and dangers.
But it was already better and luckier than most people in this world.
