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

After taking a first-tier Breakthrough Pill from the alchemy furnace and putting the remaining Breakthrough Pills into a porcelain bottle, Su Changming slowly walked out of the alchemy room.

An alchemist will always take one pill unless the pill is successfully made.

This is an unwritten rule.

Of course, alchemists trained by the faction itself are not included in this category.

Su Changming was naturally not a great alchemist of the Great Xia Dynasty. Even if people knew that he had taken one pill, no one could say anything. Moreover, it was extremely rare for a batch of pills to produce five pills.

"My lord..."

As dusk fell, a stunningly beautiful figure saw Su Changming emerge from the alchemy room and smiled.

"How long have you been waiting?"

Su Changming asked.

"Not long after... I also just graduated from school."

Li Siyan skillfully took Su Changming's hand.

Su Changming sighed slightly, somewhat helplessly, but did not struggle.

Li Siyan's hands were delicate and cool to the touch, feeling like the finest mutton fat jade.

"How's the alchemy going, my lord? Have you made any progress today?"

Li Siyan asked, seemingly casually.

"It's not very good. I wanted to refine the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, but after refining seven or eight batches, they were all unusable pills."

Su Changming had conspired with Wang Shi to present himself as an ordinary cultivator with low cultivation level and poor alchemy skills.

Since he had no intention of performing any miracles, he didn't refuse.

So these past few days, he's always looked worried and uneasy whenever he leaves the alchemy room.

"No problem, no problem. Why don't you try refining a Qi Condensation Pill, my lord? Everything is difficult at the beginning. Perhaps once you've refined one batch, your pill refining will be much smoother from now on?"

Li Siyan suggested.

"Hmm... I'll do as Siyan suggests and try it tomorrow."

Su Changming nodded.

"Here are some pastries I made, my husband, please try my cooking."

Before each visit to wait for Su Changming, Li Siyan would always bring some pastries she had made herself.

"Alright, this is the spiritual liquid I refined. Siyan, would you like some?"

Su Changming nodded and took out a bottle of spiritual liquid.

"OK."

Li Siyan nodded and drank the spiritual liquid in one gulp without the slightest hesitation.

"how?"

Su Changming picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and asked.

"It tastes a little sweet. Is this a medicinal liquid made from Qi-Gathering Grass?"

Li Siyan pondered for a moment and then said.

"That's right, Siyan, you're really amazing to have guessed it."

Su Changming was somewhat surprised.

"whee……"

Li Siyan smiled mischievously.

Su Changming also took out a bottle of spiritual liquid and drank it all in one gulp.

It has a slightly bitter taste and contains a lot of spiritual energy.

Indeed, although this is a medicinal liquid extracted from the Qi Condensing Grass, Su Changming considers it to be the medicinal liquid of the True Spirit Grass.

He wanted to see if things he changed would appear different in the eyes of others.

It seems that won't work now.

No... the Bone Forging Pill wasn't identified and upgraded; I refined it myself.

Perhaps, I need to modify enough processes myself before I can make a difference in the eyes of others...

Su Changming gradually began to understand.

"My lord, are the pastries delicious?"

"Mmm...it's delicious..."

The two walked together on a somewhat quiet road in the Tianyan Division.

Students could be seen casting envious glances at him from time to time.

The cultivators of the Celestial Evolution Bureau must first study knowledge before they can cultivate.

Compared to cultivators in the immortal cultivation world, the cultivators here seem more scholarly and refined.

Back in Li Siyan's boudoir, Li Siyan skillfully began to brew the spiritual tea.

Ever since discovering that Su Changming liked to drink tea, Li Siyan has been buying a different type of tea to brew every day.

This tea-tasting time is also a rare opportunity for the two to spend time together.

"My lord, this tea is a tribute that the King of Ba sends every year. It has a unique taste and a sweet flavor, and is very popular among royalty and nobles."

After Li Siyan brewed the tea, she brought a cup to Su Changming and said...

"Hmm...not bad."

Feeling the bitterness in his mouth, Su Changming nodded.

In his opinion, this tea has a bittersweet taste and a slight body-strengthening effect.

Because of the upgraded identification process, many spiritual foods sound quite different to him than to others.

Therefore, it's not a good time to discuss the taste of the tea with Li Siyan.

And so, the two fell silent for a brief moment.

"I'm leaving."

After finishing his tea, Su Changming took his leave.

"My lord, I have so many rooms here, why do I need to stay outside?"

Li Siyan suddenly grabbed Su Changming's arm and said.

"Siyan..."

"I see……"

Seeing the helplessness on Su Changming's face, Li Siyan had no choice but to let go and allow Su Changming to leave.

He left Li Siyan's room.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, Su Changming couldn't help but sigh.

If it weren't for his ability to identify and upgrade, being able to become a Daoist partner with such a beautiful and considerate female cultivator would be an absolute dream come true.

Unfortunately, Li Siyan was destined to be bound to Xia Kingdom; her own abilities made it impossible for her to stay in one place for long.

"I have successfully completed my mission; four pills have been made today."

Su Changming glanced indifferently at the corner to the side.

Master Wang is a man who enjoys secretly observing others from a distance using his divine sense.

They thought no one else knew.

However, as a sword cultivator, Su Changming was most sensitive to divine sense.

Even though he knew, Su Changming could only pretend he didn't see it.

Only when they got close enough did they "detect" the other party within the range of divine sense that a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator should have.

"These are all high-quality Breakthrough Pills, and there's even a two-pattern pill! As expected of a disciple taken in by the Ancestor."

Previously, Wang Shi had many doubts about Su Changming's identity.

Upon seeing Su Changming's results, all doubts vanished.

Such talent in alchemy definitely makes him the disciple of the patriarch...

"Did the royal master agree to let me enter the Daoist Archives?"

Su Changming cupped his hands and asked.

"You work so hard refining pills during the day, and you even think about researching cultivation techniques at night. With such diligence, no wonder you've reached your current level of cultivation with only a miscellaneous five-elemental root..."

The king nodded in satisfaction.

He had previously thought that the other party was young and lacked talent, yet possessed Foundation Establishment cultivation, which was the result of the ancestor treasuring talent and forcing growth.

But now it seems that the real reason is the other party's diligence and hard work in cultivation.

Aside from leaving the Celestial Evolution Division at dawn to rest, he had never seen the other party rest.

However, if the royal army knew that Su Changming left the Tianyan Division only to cultivate his skills, I wonder what they would think.

"This token contains three hundred contribution points, which you can use to view any cultivation technique or manual below the Profound Rank."

Wang Shi took out a token and said to Su Changming.

"Thank you, Your Majesty's army."

Su Changming took the token and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately headed towards the Daoist Pavilion.

He had long coveted the puppetry skills that the Great Xia Dynasty excelled at.

Although he can't exchange for high-level puppetry techniques now, they are still much better than the yellow-level puppetry techniques he could find at random in the Flowing Cloud Sect.

The only content in the Yellow Rank Puppet Technique is how to create puppets.

It's important to know that advanced puppetry techniques teach how to manipulate puppets flexibly using one's divine sense as a guide.
