Chapter 106: Uncle Wang, I've Made Up My Mind

Afterward, Shangguan Yurou gave Wang Jianqiang a Storage Bag and then left.

Wang Jianqiang checked the Storage Bag.

He discovered it was filled with Medicinal Herbs, all for refining Jade Spirit Pill, Origin Spirit Purple Heart Pill, and Infant Transformation Pill.

Among them, the Medicinal Herbs for refining Origin Spirit Pill accounted for over seventy percent.

Those for refining Origin Spirit Purple Heart Pill accounted for twenty-nine percent.

The Medicinal Herbs for refining Infant Transformation Pill were the most precious, with only twenty portions in total.

Afterward, his attention fell upon three Jade Slips.

"Ding, inferior Pill Formula detected. Optimizing and upgrading the Pill Formula requires 500 Cultivation Points. Do you wish to optimize and upgrade?"

"Ding, inferior Pill Formula detected. Optimizing and upgrading the Pill Formula requires 800 Cultivation Points. Do you wish to optimize and upgrade?"

"Ding, inferior Pill Formula detected. Optimizing and upgrading the Pill Formula requires 1000 Cultivation Points. Do you wish to optimize and upgrade?"

In his mind, the system's notification sound arrived.

"Yes~"

"Ding, optimization and upgrade successful. The Jade Spirit Pill Pill Formula has been optimized and upgraded to the Perfect Jade Spirit Pill Pill Formula."

"Ding, optimization and upgrade successful. The Origin Spirit Purple Heart Pill Pill Formula has been optimized and upgraded to the Perfect Origin Spirit Purple Heart Pill Pill Formula."

"Ding, optimization and upgrade successful. The Infant Transformation Pill Pill Formula has been optimized and upgraded to the Perfect Infant Transformation Pill Pill Formula."

Amidst three consecutive mechanical sounds, all three types of Third-tier Pill were optimized and upgraded into Perfect Pill.

Afterward, he came before the Pill Furnace and began refining.

Three months later.

Wang Jianqiang had refined a total of two hundred Jade Spirit Pill, one hundred Origin Spirit Purple Heart Pill, and ten Infant Transformation Pill.

When Shangguan Yurou was summoned and saw these Pill,

she could not help but widen her eyes.

She had long been mentally prepared for the fact that Wang Jianqiang could refine Perfect Pill, but she had not expected the success rate to be so high.

It was thirty percent more than she had estimated.

She did not know that Wang Jianqiang had only consumed half of the Medicinal Herbs to refine these Pill.

Otherwise, she would likely have been even more astonished.

Of course, Wang Jianqiang was not prepared to tell her this either.

Shangguan Yurou still had to distribute the Pill and had many other matters to arrange.

After receiving the Pill, she did not stay long and soon hurried away.

After she left, Wang Jianqiang prepared to go out for a walk.

Having been in seclusion for so long, it was time to relax appropriately.

Cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation, after all.

Most importantly, the little chick was about to be stifled to death.

Walking within the Inner Sect and looking at the peaceful scene around him, Wang Jianqiang could not help but sigh with emotion.

Who would have thought that beneath this peaceful facade, undercurrents were already surging?

As for the details, it is likely that most Golden Core Cultivator do not know.

Let alone these Outer Sect Disciple.

"Brother Wang."

Just then, a laugh came from behind him.

Wang Jianqiang turned around at the sound and saw a familiar figure walking up, "Brother Ye."

The person who arrived was none other than Wang Jianqiang's good brother, Ye Fan.

"Eh, Brother has broken through again!"

Ye Fan saw Wang Jianqiang's current cultivation at a glance, his eyes lighting up, "Congratulations, Brother."

"It is all thanks to Elder Dong's help."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Hearing the title "Elder Dong," Ye Fan could not help but sigh.

"What is it, Brother Ye? You seem to have something on your mind?" Wang Jianqiang asked with concern.

"Sigh, Brother, I won't hide it from you; I am indeed feeling a bit lost right now," Ye Fan sighed, "Ever since Yue'er reached Golden Core, I have seen her a few times."

"But she seems even colder toward me."

"Brother Ye need not be lost," Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "There is a saying from my hometown: as long as there is perseverance, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle. As long as you have patience and 'lick' well, Elder Dong will see your good qualities sooner or later."

Ye Fan was taken aback, "That saying from your hometown is wrong, isn't it? Grinding an iron pestle into a needle is simple; it's just a matter of a casual effort."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head helplessly, "My hometown is full of mortals; this saying is meant to encourage people to have perseverance."

"Oh, so that's how it is," Ye Fan nodded, then laughed, "Brother, you are right. Hearing you say that, I suddenly have confidence again."

"Go for it!"

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile.

Ye Fan smiled, then as if thinking of something, he looked at Wang Jianqiang earnestly, "By the way, Brother, it's not that I want to lecture you, but you aren't young anymore; you should find a Dao Companion."

"Although your Root Bone is lacking, you have Yue'er as a backer, your personality is good, and you are kind; finding a female Cultivator of the same rank as a Dao Companion should not be difficult."

Wang Jianqiang was stunned and smiled, "I am not in a hurry."

"How can you not be in a hurry? You don't know what life is like after having a Dao Companion..."

"I do know," Wang Jianqiang coughed dryly.

"Tch, don't be stubborn. I've heard that you haven't found a Dao Companion yet. If it really doesn't work out, Brother will introduce one to you."

"No need, I am usually too busy and can't really attend to it."

"Busy with what?"

"Busy..." Wang Jianqiang paused, rubbed his nose, and changed his tune, "Busy cultivating."

"Isn't dual cultivation also cultivation? If you ask me, you're just too lacking in confidence."

"Although your talent is mediocre, your backing is strong. Under Yue'er's care, haven't you reached Foundation Establishment Perfection? Your cultivation hasn't fallen behind."

"We'll see."

Wang Jianqiang laughed it off, ultimately refusing Ye Fan's good intentions.

He was already busy enough as it was.

Besides cultivation, he also had to practice Alchemy and look after Dong Yue, Yan Qingxuan, Mu Lingxi, and Wang Yu Yao.

Time was indeed a bit tight.

After walking a circle around the Inner Sect, Wang Jianqiang returned to the entrance of his small courtyard and discovered a figure standing there.

Su Yutong?

Seeing this figure, Wang Jianqiang was stunned.

What made him even more baffled was that Su Yutong's Good and Evil Value toward him had somehow increased to 60 points.

"What are you here for?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Su Yutong's stunningly beautiful face and couldn't help but ask.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang return, Su Yutong's eyes brightened. She hesitated for a moment, then softly called out, "Uncle Wang."

Hearing this form of address, Wang Jianqiang's expression immediately softened.

There was no helping it; he had always been the type to yield to soft tactics rather than hard ones.

He was most lenient toward his juniors.

"Ahem, Yutong, is there something you need from your uncle?"

Su Yutong hesitated for a moment, then said to Wang Jianqiang, "Uncle Wang, was Wang Yu Yao able to break through so quickly because of your help?"

"With her aptitude, she shouldn't have broken through so quickly."

Wang Jianqiang carefully sized up Su Yutong and smiled, "That's right, I did indeed help her."

Su Yutong's eyes lit up, "Uncle, I also want to improve. Can you help me?"

"You want my help? It's not impossible," Wang Jianqiang said with a smile, "but you have to show the right attitude."

"What attitude?" Su Yutong seemed to think of something, and her face flushed red.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head and waved his hand, opening the Restriction outside the courtyard.

As he walked inside the Restriction, he said, "Come find me again once you've thought it through."

Seeing this, Su Yutong's expression changed.

She had already lost one opportunity for rapid progress before due to her own arrogance.

Now that her relationship with Wang Jianqiang had finally eased, she could not let this chance slip away again.

Thinking of this, she took advantage of the fact that the Restriction had not yet fully closed.

Her figure flashed, and she chased directly inside.

"Uncle Wang, I've thought it through."
