I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

"Keep this credit; I'll give a share to Siyan later as well."

After handing a cultivation manual to Su Changming, Master Wang said.

When Su Changming saw the words above, he immediately showed a hesitant expression.

The yellow manual read "Dianluan Daofeng Gong" (literally "The Upside-Down Phoenix Cultivation Technique"), clearly indicating it was a dual cultivation technique.

"Then you can take these pills too."

Seeing Su Changming's troubled expression, Wang Shi had no choice but to take out another bottle of pills.

After taking a quick sniff of the pill's aroma, Su Changming immediately wore a helpless expression.

Its aroma is pungent and sweet, invigorating the blood and qi; this is clearly a type of elixir that makes one feel energetic and vigorous.

However, the troubled look on his face wasn't because he was incapable.

It's because he doesn't want to cultivate with someone he has no feelings for.

"Is this skill absolutely necessary to practice?"

Su Changming asked.

"What, do you think Siyan's cultivation level is too low?"

In a few months, with the support of abundant resources, she should also be able to reach the peak of Qi Refining, so she won't be a burden to you.

The king spoke first.

"You want me to practice the dual cultivation technique with Siyan, just so that her cultivation will be smoother."

I have a natural talent for alchemy, and I can easily refine cloud-patterned pills. You can give me the pills Siyan needs to refine as well.

Su Changming spoke calmly.

Do not underestimate the path of dual cultivation.

This method aligns with the principles of Yin and Yang, resulting in the purest and most refined spiritual energy.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation, you can often see couples who are cultivators with the same level of cultivation.

They not only share the same thoughts but also have a common hatred for the enemy, and there is no way they would abandon one another and run away.

"really?"

Upon hearing that Su Changming could easily refine cloud-patterned pills, Wang Shi was immediately taken aback.

The Xia Dynasty had tens of millions of ordinary people, and even the number of cultivators was in the millions.

However, there were not many alchemists among them.

Not to mention alchemists who can create cloud patterns.

The reason why the royal army was so shocked.

One reason is that alchemists rely too much on talent.

Secondly, although the Xia Dynasty had a vast territory and abundant resources, places with abundant spiritual energy were very rare.

This results in a limited number of medicinal herbs that can be harvested, making it difficult for alchemists to practice without restriction, which in turn makes it difficult to preserve high-level cloud-patterned pills.

All pills refined by alchemists capable of creating cloud-like patterns were specially supplied to the royal family.

"Of course, otherwise how could I have become Master's disciple?"

Su Changming glanced at the other person calmly.

Soon, the Flowing Cloud Sect will undergo a major change, and at that time, it will be hard to say what the King's Master's intentions will be.

If the Crimson Light Master were to be sacrificed by his master and lose that connection, it wouldn't be impossible for the royal master to change his mind.

After all, he was Li Siyan's unresolved issue. As long as he was in the Xia Dynasty, she could cultivate peacefully all the way to the Yuan Dan realm.

However, if one were to feign death to deceive others, the variables would be too great.

Therefore, you must make full preparations beforehand.

His master had told him before that the Flowing Cloud Sect would at least have a few more months of peace.

At least until then, there should be no need to worry about bad news coming from the Flowing Cloud Sect.

"This is your Heavenly Evolution Token. I will set aside a private alchemy room for you within the Heavenly Evolution Bureau. For each type of pill, I will provide you with a maximum of one hundred samples for trial and error. I hope you will not let me down."

The king spoke first.

"Please also provide the prescription for the pills..."

Su Changming continued.

"..."

"Brother Ming!"

The woman in her boudoir suddenly woke up and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

"Was it just a dream...?"

The woman talked to herself, but quickly regained her composure.

"Siyan?"

Just then, a voice rang out.

Li Siyan turned her head and saw a face that was very different from what she remembered.

However, even if the other person's appearance changes a thousand times, she can still recognize them at a glance from the corners of their eyebrows.

"My lord..."

Li Siyan called out tenderly and wistfully.

"Siyan...we've been apart for so long, I feel a little..."

Su Changming looked somewhat troubled.

"It's alright, it's alright, take your time..."

Li Siyan held Su Changming's hand tightly, refusing to let go easily.

Seeing this, Su Changming sighed helplessly.

He could tell that Li Siyan was ill, and quite seriously ill.

Because he had been very dependent on the original owner, this dependence only temporarily disappeared after the original owner left. When he saw him again, the person who was one with the original owner, he never wanted to let go again.

Perhaps spiritual practice can help alleviate the other person's symptoms.

Ultimately, however, this can be considered a tragic fate for this body.

"How did I just faint?"

Only then did Li Siyan ask in confusion.

She remembered sitting opposite Su Changming, and just as she was about to get to know him better after their long separation, she fainted.

"I don't know, I thought you were just too tired, Siyan."

Oh, by the way, I just ran into Master Wang. He said he could let me join the Heavenly Evolution Division. I practiced alchemy at the Flowing Cloud Sect, and after mentioning it to him, he agreed to let me use the alchemy room.

Su Changming looked somewhat happy.

"That's good, Master Wang is a very good person."

Seeing Su Changming happy, Li Siyan also became happy.

"I need to report to someone later, so I'll be going now."

Su Changming tried to pull his hand away, but Li Siyan held on tightly.

"Siyan?"

Su Changming asked in confusion.

"Oh, ah...go early and come back early."

Li Siyan smiled and nodded.

After Su Changming left, his expression slowly turned cold.

His gaze was fixed on the distance, as if he were deep in thought.

"Siyan..."

She didn't know how much time had passed when someone called her name again, but it wasn't the one she wanted to hear.

"The royal army..."

Li Siyan bowed respectfully.

"Su Changming has spent seven years in the Flowing Cloud Sect, and he's only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Do you know what that means?"

The king said.

"This means that Changming is very hardworking. Relying on his miscellaneous five spiritual roots, he must not have slacked off for a single day. He was able to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining in seven years. Presumably, he will also be able to obtain a place in the inner sect in the future."

Li Siyan said.

"No, it means he lacks talent! You've only been practicing for half a year, yet you've already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and you're still cultivating the Water Essence Heavenly Heart Technique, a low-grade Xuan-level cultivation method."

"Foundation Establishment cultivators live for two hundred years, Core Formation cultivators for five hundred, and Golden Core cultivators for one thousand. By the time you achieve Core Formation or Golden Core, you'll still be a beautiful young woman, while he will be old and frail. How could you possibly be together then?"

The king was heartbroken and said.

"Then I'll help him reach the Yuan Dan and Jin Dan stages. Since his spiritual roots are not good, I'll find spiritual herbs to improve his aptitude. Since his cultivation techniques are not good, I'll find him high-level cultivation techniques. If he's not good at fighting, I'll buy him magic weapons."

Li Siyan said.

"You! The difference in strength between Daoist partners is like heaven and earth. If one of them can only rely on the other for support, it cannot last. The relationship will eventually break down."

The king's army spoke coldly.

"He claimed to have a talent for alchemy, so I asked him to produce some results."

"If he cannot refine three batches of the Heart-Clearing Pill within a month, then do not blame your master for expelling your lover from the Heavenly Evolution Department."

As the king's army spoke sternly, he vanished from sight.

"It won't break, it definitely won't... and Ming'er will definitely have talent..."

Li Siyan calmly muttered to herself.
