Double Cultivation
a surprising advance
After Zhu Mengyi left to do her rest, Su Yang went to Qiuyue's room with the intention to tease her with the newly discovered information.
However, when he realized that he was cultivating, he decided to leave him alone for now, prolonging the inevitable calamity just a little longer.
And since he did not have anything to do, he decided to relax in the cauldron Room with wine beside him while he waited for Zhu Mengyi, calmly reminiscing about the time he spent at the Holy Moon Shrine.
He remembered that during his childhood, Qiuyue would always follow him like a duck chasing after anyone he considered to be his parents. Perhaps she had overindulged him when she was a child, causing him to feel a sense of attachment to her.
"Su Yue, yes .." he muttered with a smile.
Meanwhile, in his room, Qiuyue suddenly felt a cold sensation creeping on his spine, forcing him to stop cultivating for a moment.
"What's this unpleasant feeling?" he thought to himself before quickly returning to cultivate.

Time passed quickly, and just after an hour had entered the two-hour gap, Zhu Mengyi had already returned to the Cauldron Room with a face eager to learn.
"I'm back!"
Zhu Mengyi immediately took the cauldron and sat down in front of him.
NOTE: here the cauldron and furnace are the same!
"I want to try concocting the Earth Progress Pill now. I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the technique to make pills right now, and I have a good feeling that it will have good results!" he suddenly said
Su Yang said nothing more than to tell his luck.
Thus, Zhu Mengyi began another long session in hopes of finally concocting the Earth Progress Pill.
At the first ordeal, nothing seemed to have changed, as the speed at which he inspected the ingredients and the pace at which he grinded them remained the same.
However, when he activated his azure Flame for the first time after cultivating the Heaven and Earth Control technique, it was clear just how much he had progressed.
Unlike the previous calm and gentle flame, his Azure Flame resembled how Su Yang concocted an Advanced Spirit Refresh Pill, with flames engulfing half of the cauldron, while Su Yang flames covered the entire cauldron, leaving nothing behind.
If Matriak Zhu or the other Alchemy Masters were here right now to witness this, his eyes would definitely fall out of place in shock.
At first glance, it seemed that Zhu Mengyi's Azure Flames were too powerful and frantic, but if they looked closely, they would find that not only were the Azure Flames perfectly controlled but also extremely pure!
Su Yang noticed Zhu Mengyi's new technique from the wall and nodded in agreement.
"If he was born into the Four Divine Heavens and not this undeveloped world, then there is no doubt that he will become a famous Alchemy Master now," he thought to himself.
"There's still a lot I have to understand about this new technique, and it's only been a day since I learned this technique, but my speed has already doubled from my previous record, something that took me years to accomplish!" Zhu Mengyi forcefully swallowed her saliva and thought,
"This is a Divine level technique power, something that even surpasses the Immortal level! I can't even imagine what I'll be able to accomplish once I perfect this technique!"
Zhu Mengyi trembled with excitement and had high hopes for her future with this new profound technique.
"However, none of this would have been possible had it not been for him .." he looked at Su Yang with an attractive gaze, looking delighted with his presence.
At this moment, he suddenly recalled what Wu Jinjing said to him a while ago.
"One day, just like me, you will meet someone who will change your whole view of this world, and you will lose your reason for its charm!"
"Someone who would turn my view of the world upside down, yeah …"
He didn't think he was destined to meet such a person in his life, nor did he believe that he would ever find someone who would make him lose his mind, but unfortunately, he didn't, it seems like fate has played a cruel but funny joke.
"So, this is what Sister Jinjing felt when she met her destined one, yes …"
"What do you want from me, looking at me in such silence? Hurry up and create your pin!" Su Yang's voice suddenly flicked him from a daze.
"Tr-True!" he said with a red face.
He was so deep in thought that he didn't even realize that he had been staring at her the whole time!
As soon as he changed his focus back to the cauldron, Zhu Mengyi looked at the materials with a serious look and thought to herself, "This time, I will definitely succeed!"
And so, he started concocting the pill without thinking of anything other than success in his mind.
One hour .. two hours .. three hours …
Hours passed but it felt as if it was only minutes for Zhu Mengyi, who would not tolerate another explosion.
Su Yang, who had been watching the entire time and could already guess the result, smiled and left the room without telling Zhu Mengyi.
After leaving the Cauldron Room, Su Yang returned to his own room, where Xiao Rong lay naked on the bed with another scroll in his hand.
"Sir, who is that man?" he suddenly asked her.
"Only a little girl wants to learn, just like you, Xiao Rong," she replied with a smile.
"Anyway, let's see your progress" he said again.
"Un." Xiao Rong nodded and handed the scroll to him.
While Su Yang was reading the contents of the scroll, Xiao Rong looked at him with a hopeful expression, clearly waiting for his reward.
