Double Cultivation
approaching danger
"You're finally back, Su Yang?" Liu Lanzhi said to him after noticing his figure from the window in the Yin Yang Pavilion.
"I'm sorry, it took longer than I expected" he said. "Did anything happen during my absence?"
"Your Highness the princess continues to look for you, and some disciples also want to cultivate with you."
"So that's it." Su Yang nodded before turning around and heading to Xie Xingfang's residence, and he knocked on the door a few minutes later.
"Su Yang's. You're back." She greeted him with a beautiful smile.
"Un. I have some business in the Burning Lotus Sect. Do you want to talk to me?"
"Please, come in." She said.
Su Yang nodded, and the moment he entered the house, he could feel Xie Wang's spiritual senses watching him.
"Calm down, old man. Not that I'm gonna eat it or anything." Su Yang chuckled.
"Grandfather, we are guests here, not the other way around.." Xie Xingfang also voiced his displeasure.
"Cih.." A moment later, the spiritual awareness that followed Su Yang disappeared.
"Let me pour you some tea."
Xie Xingfang quickly picked up the teapot from his still-hot storage ring and poured a cup for him.
"Thank you." Su Yang calmly sipped his tea.
"You can have tea as I speak," Xie Xingfang said to him, and he continued, "So I want to talk to you about a pill that will allow anyone other than me to enter the Abandoned Forest, to be able to pass through, and after using my family's resources, we can find the ingredients to make the pills."
"Oh? Glad to hear it." Said Su Yang.
"Yes, but we have a little problem. Although we could make potions for pills, due to the rarity of one of the ingredients, there were only enough ingredients to concoct one pill."
"I know this may sound very selfish, but I want to ask you to accompany me to the Abandoned Forest.." Xie Xingfang said to her in a timid voice, because it was quite difficult and embarrassing to ask for his help after all he had done for her.
"In addition to my father and grandfather, I can't imagine anyone else being able to defeat Purple Qilin, and I feel safer with you than with them" Xie Xingfang said.
Su Yang put down his tea with a smile and said, "How can I refuse a request from a beautiful woman like you, especially when you say something like that. It's great to be with you to the Abandoned Forest."
Seeing the handsome smile on Su Yang's face, Xie Xingfang blushed, and he nodded, "Thank you, Su Yang. One day ... I will definitely avenge all that you have done for me and my family."
"When do you want to head to the Abandoned Forest?" Su Yang asked him.
"Even though we have found the ingredients, we still need to send them. We can go to the Abandoned Forest after my family opens the Heavenly Pool. There's also dinner for my family to pay you."
Su Yang nodded.
A while later, Su Yang returned to the Yin Yang Pavilion.
"Hmm?"
"Xiao Rong has been waiting for you back, sir" he told her.
"Hmm?" Su Yang immediately realized something different about his aura; it looked more mature and elegant than before.
'I guess whatever Qin Liangyu had taught him was successful ..' he smiled inwardly.
"Do you need anything from me, Xiao Rong?" he asked her.
He nodded and said, "The naughty cat is approaching this place."
"Huh? Bad cat? What are you talking about?" Su Yang raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"The one from the Sacred Middle Continent" he said.
However, Su Yang remained confused.
Seeing this, Xiao Rong explained to him about his meeting with the Golden Patriarch, who tried to attack him after seeing him.
"Oh .. so that's why you destroyed their entire Sect. I understand the situation now." Su Yang nodded.
"So it turns out that the expert who came to hunt Xie Xingfang was the same person who tried to attack you, huh? Why am I not surprised?" Su Yang calmly shook his head.
"How long until they arrive?" Su Yang then asked.
"About 1 week" he answered.
"Then there's plenty of time to get ready for – but that doesn't mean we need to."
"Should I kill him?" Xiao Rong asked him.
"No, I'll handle it personally. Even though you have punished him for trying to attack you, I have not done so. Besides, I have an obligation to protect Xie Xingfang, who is asking for protection from me."
Xiao Rong nodded.
"Anyways, I'll train some disciples now."
Before leaving, he said to Xiao Rong, "By the way, you've grown up a little since the last time I saw you. If you continue to grow, I will allow you to feel as much Yang Qi as you want from me."
Xiao Rong's eyes widened in shock upon hearing his words, and he nodded with a pleasant expression, "Yes, Master!"
"But don't bother Qin Liangyu too much."
"i won't, Sir!" Xiao Rong said before disappearing from the place, perhaps returning to Qin Liangyu's side for further training.
"Golden Patriarch, huh? It seems that I should visit the Sacred Middle Continent sooner than I expected. I wonder how the two are doing now?" Su Yang muttered to himself before leaving the Yin Yang Pavilion to look for disciples who wanted to cultivate with him.
After spending the next few days cultivating with all the female disciples, Su Yang prepared to head to the Heavenly Swan Sect.
Meanwhile, over the past few days, what had happened in the Meeting Hall had spread throughout the Continent like wildfire, and there was not a single person who had never heard of the Alchemy Master of the Sacred Middle Continent and his world-changing pill.
