In the following period, Little Medical Fairy spoke much less.

She no longer clung to Su Yun, demanding to go out and play, and put more effort into her cultivation.

Su Yun silently observed everything, and the little girl had also felt the dangers of the secular world.

Su Yun was now searching through Old Medicine and Purified Lotus Demon Sage's memories.

He was looking for a Soul Technique!

*Battle Through the Heavens* had a rather rough approach to soul-related matters, far less detailed than its research on Martial Qi.

However, some methods for cultivating the soul had been developed.

The Soul Technique was precisely a method for cultivating the soul.

Old Medicine's Soul Technique came from the Medicine Clan, originally a secret technique of the Medicine Clan. Due to the Medicine Clan's restrictions, Old Medicine did not pass on the Soul Technique he had cultivated to Xiao Yan, who instead practiced the *Taiyi Soul Technique*.

If Su Yun remembered correctly, the *Taiyi Soul Technique* was the champion's reward in the Pill Competition held by the Pill Tower.

Su Yun did not plan to cultivate Old Medicine's Soul Technique. Of course, it wasn't because he was wary of the so-called Medicine Clan, but because he had a better one.

He had been searching through Purified Lotus Demon Sage's memories for some time, and now he had finally found it.

Feeling the memories in his mind, Su Yun smiled.

Purified Lotus Demon Sage's memories were extracted from the残图of the previous Cave. Of course, they were not the complete memories of Purified Lotus Demon Sage. He had no idea if he would have such good luck to find the Soul Technique.

However, hard work pays off, and his efforts were not in vain.

This Soul Technique had no name. It was something Purified Lotus Demon Sage accidentally obtained from a ruin when he became a Zong Fighter. Its origin was unknown.

Not only did he plan to cultivate it himself, but he also intended to pass it on to Little Medical Fairy. The resurrection method was a last resort, but having an extra option was always good.

Su Yun came to Little Medical Fairy's room.

"Xian'er."

Su Yun called out gently.

"What is it, Brother?"

Little Medical Fairy was somewhat surprised. Brother usually didn't come to her room. Was something wrong?

Su Yun's expression was serious.

"Xian'er, I am about to pass on a secret technique to you. This technique is extremely precious and must never be exposed. Do you understand?"

Little Medical Fairy's expression also became serious.

"I understand, Brother."

She took every word her brother said to heart and followed his advice in everything.

Su Yun didn't say more.

A single reminder was enough. Xian'er knew the gravity of the situation.

After passing on the Soul Technique to Little Medical Fairy, Su Yun told her to practice diligently and then left.

In the following period, Su Yun and Little Medical Fairy rarely went out.

Apart from delivering the refined pills to the Xiao Family at the beginning of each month, Su Yun mostly stayed in seclusion for cultivation.

A first-grade pill; at his current level, he could refine a month's worth in just one day.

It's worth mentioning that the middle-aged manager of the Mittel Auction House had never given up on trying to recruit him. After not hearing from Su Yun for several months, he would wait at the entrance of the Xiao Family's residence every month.

Su Yun found this somewhat frustrating. The man was like a sticky plaster, impossible to get rid of.

He couldn't outright refuse him, as a significant portion of the medicinal herbs he needed for refining pills had to be purchased from the Mittel Auction House.

Fortunately, the middle-aged manager was aware of the situation, and his attitude was always good. He would always bring generous gifts whenever they met.

Su Yun let it be.

They only met once a month, and if he got annoyed, he could just leave. The manager wouldn't dare say anything, and the gifts were free to take.

Luo Qianchen from the Alchemist Guild had also visited him a few times, always to discuss refining techniques. The old president clearly hadn't given up on becoming a 4th Rank Alchemist.

Thus, a year passed quietly.

At that moment, in the Xiao Family's main hall, the three elders and the family head, Xiao Zhan, were in a meeting.

"Xiao Zhan, why are there several unaccounted-for gold coins in the family treasury over the past few months? Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

The eldest elder frowned and asked Xiao Zhan.

"Oh, really? I will verify this matter in a while."

Xiao Zhan seemed somewhat surprised as he replied.

The eldest elder nodded, not pressing the matter too much.

Xiao Zhan's expression was calm, but a hint of unease flashed in his eyes.

Recently, his third son, Xiao Yan, was preparing to advance to the Martial Practitioner realm.

Su Yun's appearance had given Xiao Zhan other ideas.

Qi Gathering Powder!

Yes, he wanted to ask Su Yun to refine a fourth-grade pill, Qi Gathering Powder, for Xiao Yan!

According to the rules of alchemists, the medicinal herbs for refining pills had to be provided by the client, along with additional payment.

He had been gathering the ingredients for half a year.

However, a fourth-grade pill was extremely valuable, and even the cost of the herbs was beyond what a small family's head could afford.

He had spent all his personal savings and managed to gather only one set of ingredients.

Alchemists had a success rate when refining pills, and he didn't know how high Su Yun's success rate was for a fourth-grade pill.

Thus, he had secretly embezzled money from the family treasury over the past few months.

He thought he had been discreet, but it was still discovered.

Xiao Zhan might not be a good family head, but he was certainly a good father.

...

At that moment, Su Yun was tidying up his clothes, putting on Han Li's disguise, and preparing to visit the Xiao Family.

After a year of cultivation, he had reached the Ninth Star Martial Master realm!

He was very satisfied with his current cultivation level.

The cultivation system on this continent made the Martial Qi stage quite difficult, but the Martial Practitioner stage was relatively easy, with subsequent realms becoming progressively harder.

He had spent a year advancing from Martial Practitioner to Martial Master, and now, after another year, he was just one step away from becoming a Great Martial Master.

He was content with this progress.

There were two reasons for his rapid advancement.

Firstly, the *Burning Cold Technique* of the High Mystic Rank. A high-level cultivation technique significantly boosted his cultivation, much faster than when he was at the Yellow Rank.

Secondly, the pills.

As a 4th Rank Alchemist, he naturally didn't skimp on refining pills for himself.

Little Medical Fairy's cultivation, on the other hand, hadn't progressed much and was still at the Martial Qi stage.

Su Yun wasn't surprised by this. The Calamity Poison Body was no joke. Although she was currently at this cultivation level, once she activated it, her cultivation would increase much faster than his.

Su Yun arrived at the entrance of the Xiao Family. As expected, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were waiting for him.

This had been the case for the past year. Clearly, his 4th Rank Alchemist status made them dare not be disrespectful.

Su Yun was once again invited into the main hall, exchanged a few pleasantries, took out the pills from his Storage Ring, and planned to leave after drinking some tea.

"Master Han, please wait a moment."

Su Yun was stopped by Xiao Zhan.

"I have a personal matter to ask of Master. I wonder if it's convenient?"

Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"Oh, I see. Clan Head Xiao, please go ahead and speak."
