She actually knew everything!
Su Yu was startled by this. Yuan Yingying, who seemed clumsy, was actually quite intelligent. In fact, she wasn't any weaker than her sister!
As he looked at the elixir production room, Su Yu gradually felt relieved. If she was really stupid, how could she have come so far in the path of elixirs?
"Thank you, Uncle Su, for helping me like this. I'm really happy, as besides my father, there isn't anyone else who cares about me. Thank you, Uncle Su …" Yuan Yingying's eyes became moist, and it was unknown whether she felt wronged or grateful. She then threw herself into Su Yu's embrace and started crying loudly.
It wasn't easy for a girl who had no one to rely on to endure to this day.
Su Yu was startled, and he sighed softly. He stroked her head and said, "I said that I would repay you for the meal. This is my promise, and it is what you deserve."
"People are as precious as they were in the beginning. I hope that you can continue to maintain a kind heart and continue to cultivate your alchemy techniques," Su Yu said.
Yuan Yingying, who was lying in Su Yu's embrace, rubbed her head against him. Her heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.
"However, I also hope that you understand that blindly seeking the approval of others is ultimately futile." Su Yu seemed like a grandfather who was instructing his juniors, and he spoke sincerely and earnestly, "People only look up to people with dignity, and if you show weakness and goodwill, they won't acknowledge you. Instead, they will look down on you even more, which will make it more difficult for you to integrate into the Yuan family and gain their acknowledgement."
Yuan Yingying seemed to have sensed something. Indeed, no matter how hard she tried, no matter how much she tried, she couldn't change her situation.
"What should I do then?" Yuan Yingying raised her head, her bright eyes sparkling with desire.
"Become stronger!" Su Yu said, "Regardless of whether it is the path of martial arts or the path of alchemy, as long as it can make you stronger, you should work hard! When you were strong enough to suffocate them and make them look up to you, you didn't have to beg for their approval. They would also beg for your approval! I hope you will keep this in mind. "
Yuan Yingying seemed to have understood something, but she was also confused. "But my talent in martial arts is very ordinary, and my ability in pill concocting isn't enough to convince them. What should I do?"
Su Yu calmly said, "Let me confirm something first."
After thinking for a moment, Su Yu swallowed the Pure Yang Vital Return Pill.
As the pill entered his body, warm energy flowed through his meridians.
Those withered and constricted meridians actually regained some of their elasticity. Although it was weak, it was undoubtedly much better than before.
The stagnant zhenqi could finally flow slowly.
Although it was slow, he could still use his spiritual energy.
With a thought, Zhang Xuan circulated his zhenqi, but it was extremely difficult for him to do so due to the blockage in his meridians.
Su Yu also felt like he was being pricked by needles, and it was extremely painful.
Forcefully enduring the pain, Su Yu revolved his energy to his eyes. His deep eyes suddenly turned pale white.
The mysterious energy penetrated Yuan Yingying's body and pierced her soul.
With just one look, Su Yu's pupils contracted slightly. "As expected, your soul is different from ordinary people's!"
Her cultivation was at the One Crystal Half Fairy Realm, but her soul was as powerful as a Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm.
If it wasn't for the limitations of his cultivation, he might have been like Su Yu, who possessed a Fairy Realm soul at the Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm.
Such a powerful soul talent really made Su Yu exclaim in admiration.
He was talented, and he had experienced the Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron and the Heaven's Son Gazing at Air to reach where he was today. However, Yuan Yingying had only relied on her talent.
It was also because of this that she was able to rely on her soul power to explore the Alchemy Path by herself.
Su Yu looked at her in surprise. He felt like the girl in front of him was a peerless genius who had been placed in the wrong place.
If she came from a famous family, then her soul potential would be unearthed, and her achievements in the future would surely be shocking.
"What's wrong, Uncle Su?" Su Yu asked as he blinked his eyes. His gaze was filled with naivety, as he was unaware of the terrifying potential hidden within his body.
Su Yu shook his head. "It's nothing, but I want to teach you a soul secret technique. It will allow you to injure and kill people who are at a higher realm than you. It won't be of much help to your cultivation, but it will allow your power to soar. At the very least, your sister won't be a match for you."
Yuan Yingying was overjoyed. "Really? I want to learn it! "
Su Yu nodded. Then, in the secret room, he patiently taught her how to sense souls and how to use them. In the end, he even gave her half of the White-Eyed Fire Glass Frog's soul flame.
Now, even an early stage Fairy Realm expert wouldn't be able to withstand a single glance from her, let alone a Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm expert.
His teachings lasted for three days and three nights.
After she finished teaching, Yuan Yingying's aura was restrained, and there was a sharpness hidden in her simple and honest temperament.
"Thank you, Uncle Su. Yingying will never forget it." Yuan Yingying kowtowed solemnly.
Su Yu smiled. "This is what you deserve. Alright, let's continue making elixirs. I need to make a large number of Pure Yang Vital Return Pills to recover my internal energy channels, while you need to make some elixirs to increase your cultivation base. After all, there is still half a month before your family's assessment.
Yuan Yingying nodded firmly. "Alright!"
But then, he frowned and said, "But we don't have any medicinal herbs. My medicinal herbs are all saved up from my pocket money. Now, I don't have any money. The reward of forty crystal stones will only come in half a month …"
The corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched. Elixir production was a money-burning business, and it was impossible for the Yuan family to support them in making elixirs. Hence, they could only rely on themselves.
As Su Yu looked at the two elixirs in his palm, he asked, "What's the market price of the Fairy Expansion Pill in the Blue Mountain Range?"
Yuan Yingying's eyes lit up. "You're talking about selling pills for money?"
In the past, Yuan Yingying hadn't even dared to dream of such a thing. But now, she was quite tempted by it.
"The Fairy Expansion Pill is one of the more common low-grade spirit pills, and there is no lack of them in the market. But, because of the lack of high-grade elixirs, a first-grade Fairy Expansion Pill can only be sold for two crystals, while a second-grade Fairy Expansion Pill can be sold for nine crystals. A third-grade Fairy Expansion Pill can be sold for at least forty crystals. "
She then added, "Along with the increase in grade, the price of an elixir will increase by several folds. If it was a fourth-grade elixir, its price would be at least a hundred and fifty crystals. But, apart from my father, only the Elixir Production Alliance's two Alliance Masters are capable of making such an elixir. As such, there isn't any in the market. "
Su Yu remembered that the purchasing power of crystals in Jiuzhou was quite high. In the past, a high-grade divine weapon had only been sold for four or five crystals.
A hundred and fifty crystals were enough to buy a semi-manufactured spiritual artifact.
"Okay, I will come back shortly. You should rest for a while," Su Yu said as he changed his clothes. He then jumped over the courtyard's wall and went to the Blue Mountain Range's main street.
There was a sea of people everywhere, and it was a bustling and flourishing scene.
There were many experts in the martial path, and Su Yu could see Half Fairy Realm experts wherever he went. In fact, he could even see many Fairy Realm experts.
Since there were so many martial artists here, elixir stores were as numerous as the hairs on a cow.
Su Yu avoided the larger elixir stores and looked for a region that had fewer people.
After all, a third-grade Fairy Expansion Pill's price couldn't even be sold for a high price in their store.
On the other hand, his store lacked a powerful alchemist, so it could only make second-grade spirit elixirs. As such, it had a higher demand for third-grade spirit elixirs.
A slightly plump shopkeeper was in the store, and his eyes flickered with a shrewd glint.
"Old mister, what do you need?" The shopkeeper examined Su Yu. He didn't look down on him.
As Su Yu surveyed his surroundings, he noticed that the store was quite deserted. There weren't many people in the store, and the elixirs it sold were quite ordinary. There wasn't even a single high-grade third-grade elixir.
"I don't want to buy them. I want to sell them," Su Yu replied briefly.
The plump shopkeeper was slightly disappointed when he heard this. After all, there were many martial artists like him who came here to sell elixirs, and their elixir store would occasionally buy some of them.
"Old mister, I'm afraid that you've come too late." The plump shopkeeper smiled bitterly. "Old mister, do you think that my store can still continue operating? As the rent is due at the end of the month, this store will be sublet. Now that we have a discount on our elixirs, you can take this opportunity to buy some. "
Su Yu wore a faint smile. "I didn't even look at the display case, so how can I know that I won't buy them?"
After he spoke, he took out a jade bottle.
"A second-grade Fairy Expansion Pill?" The plump shopkeeper's eyes lit up. "I really didn't expect that you were also an alchemist."
The plump shopkeeper was slightly startled. After all, an alchemist who could make second-grade spirit elixirs should have a high status in the Blue Mountain Range. At the very least, it wouldn't be a problem for him to get an official position in the Yuan family or the Elixir Production Alliance. So, how could he possibly end up selling elixirs?
"You misunderstood me, as I'm just selling them for someone else. What do you think?" Su Yu asked.
The plump shopkeeper pondered this matter for a moment, then shook his head. "It's really a pity. If it was during normal times, a second-grade Fairy Expansion Pill would surely fetch a high price. But, it's a pity that my store is about to close, and if I can't sell it in a short time, I might end up losing it. Old mister, you should look for another store …"
It could be seen that he was slightly disappointed. The Fairy Expansion Pill was an elixir that could help one advance to the Fairy Realm, so the higher the grade, the better it would be. As such, second-grade elixirs were quite rare in the market, and they were quite profitable.
However, it was a pity that his store's management wasn't good, so he couldn't stock up any more.
"Then, what about this one?" Su Yu took out another jade bottle.
The plump shopkeeper didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. "Old mister, it isn't a matter of how many elixirs there are, but I'm really …"
Before he could finish his words, his pupils contracted, and his voice came to an abrupt end.
His small eyes flickered as he stared at the jade bottle. "A … A third-grade spirit elixir!"
When he just finished speaking, his plump body, which was as nimble as a monkey, jumped out of the counter and rushed toward the store's door, then closed it behind him.
He then turned around and cupped his hands in surprise. "It's my poor eyesight, and I didn't manage to discern your esteemed status. Please forgive me. Old mister, please follow me to the back hall to have a chat."
Su Yu chuckled and followed him calmly. He wasn't afraid that the shopkeeper would try to murder him for his wealth.
If he was smart, he would surely understand that this was an opportunity for him.
In the back hall, the plump shopkeeper served Su Yu a top-grade spirit tea and asked, "Old mister, may I know where you are working?"
There were less than thirty primary alchemists in the whole Blue Mountain Range. The Yuan family had ten of them, while the Elixir Production Alliance had twenty of them.
Whenever a new primary alchemist appeared, both sides would fight over them, and they would even fight over them.
