Chapter 170: The Sia-Sia Effort
After filling his storage ring with enough ingredients to concoct sufficient Earth Progress Pills for the next few days, Zhu Mengyi began to clean herself up before returning to Su Yang's residence.
Once he entered the Cauldron Room, Zhu Mengyi did not waste any time and immediately began concocting pills.
Time passed quickly, and in what felt like the blink of his eyes, the entire day passed.
On the first day, Zhu Mengyi had successfully concocted four Earth Progress Pills without fail, but all of them came out as medium quality with the latter being low quality due to the exhaustion of concocting too many Heaven grade pills.
As soon as the first day ended, Zhu Mengyi did not leave the place and instead decided to sleep in the Cauldron Room, even treating Su Yang's house as if it was her own.
Of course, he was still unaware of the other two residents in this house beside Su Yang and had the misconception that the two of them were living together in the same residence.
"Hehe .. is this what it would be like if we were together as husband and wife?" Zhu Mengyi daydreamed in the bathroom as she washed herself.
Meanwhile, in the room beside Su Yang's room, Qiuyue opened his eyes after he finished his cultivation session.
"Haaa ..." Qiuyue sighed to himself as he finished cultivating, seemingly disappointed by the result. "No matter how much I try to push myself, it won't change the fact that it's useless for someone at my cultivation level to cultivate in this world."
"The Profound Qi in this world won't cut it! Even with my superior cultivation technique, the quality is too poor to be of any use to me!"
Even after tens of hours of cultivating, his cultivation barely increased if any at all. At this rate, even if he cultivated for a hundred years without a break, he would still not have enough Profound Qi to support his breakthrough to the next level, let alone the next region!
Although he still had many resources he could absorb for Profound Qi, such a method would only last for a moment before he ran out.
In other words, no matter how much he cultivated or struggled, all of his efforts would be in vain.
"Why should Heaven be so cruel? Did I do something to offend them in my past life?" He sighed again before getting off the bed and leaving the room to breathe in some fresh air.
However, the moment he stepped out of his room, Qiuyue's brows raised in bewilderment.
There is something strange about this place – there is an unfamiliar presence in the bathroom.
And using his Spirit Sense, Qiuyue peeked into the bathroom.
"Princess Matriarch? What is she doing in this place, even taking a bath like this is her own home?"
Qiuyue quickly recognized Zhu Mengyi as Matriarch Zhu's daughter. After all, he had been here before and had even spoken to her for some time in the past.
Suddenly, he felt another presence.
Qiuyue turned to look at Su Yang standing in the distance looking at him with narrowed eyes and a mysterious smile, looking extremely frightening in his eyes.
"mmm? Nothing," Su Yang said casually, not letting him know the fact that he knew his secret.
In fact, he wanted to see how long and hard he would be willing to go to keep this secret from her.
"I don't believe you," Qiuyue said with narrowed eyes.
Suddenly, he thought of Zhu Mengyi and realized the only reason why she was here. . .
"I shouldn't have asked." Qiuyue shook his head and said, "So that girl from the Sacred Sword Academy is not enough for you, huh? I feel sad for both of them."
"What?" Su Yang's expression changed rapidly. "I didn't touch it, I didn't plan on it either."
"Don't worry, it won't bother me even if you – isn't at this point."
"…"
Su Yang was silent.
Then, Qiuyue continued, "Hey .. I want to increase my cultivation base, but for obvious reasons, it won't move in the slightest. What am I supposed to do? You were an Immortal in your previous life, right?" he decided to ask her, an Immortal, for advice.
Hearing his question, Su Yang laughed and replied with a smile, "Indeed, I am an Immortal. However, I rarely cultivate normally if you know what I mean."
"…"
Qiuyue became silent.
"However, that being said, there are similarities between your cultivation method and mine. Just like how you can't improve with enough Profound Qi in the air, I can't increase my cultivation base if all of my partners have a low cultivation base."
"If we stay in this world longer than expected, then my cultivation base will eventually reach a point where I will not increase even if I cultivate with all the girls in this world, and that's a problem that even I can't fix . "
"However, I try to prevent that, so for now, be patient until we return to the Four Heavenly Heavens."
After listening to his words, Qiuyue sighed inwardly. If he was honest, he did not care about his cultivation base. The only reason he even tried to increase his cultivation base was so that he could cultivate with it!
"To be hopelessly sleeping with her, I also have to be some kind of pervert .." she thought to herself.
"I'll be out for a while to get some fresh air," he suddenly said to her.
Some time later, Zhu Mengyi emerged from the bathroom with a fresh expression and a clean body that gave off a sweet scent.
"Let's do it!" he pushed himself as he returned to the Cauldron Room.
Today was the last day for him to concoct a perfect quality pill, or else he would not be able to return again, something he had to avoid at all costs!
As soon as he entered the Cauldron Room, Zhu Mengyi began concocting Earth Progress Pills with the intent to concoct a perfect quality pill today.
