Chapter 13: Yan Qingxuan's Probing

Creak~

After opening the door, a beautiful face came into view.

"As expected, you have already broken through to Qi Refining Perfection."

Upon seeing Wang Yu Yao, Wang Yu Yao's Attribute Panel immediately surfaced in his mind.

Her cultivation level naturally could not be hidden from Wang Jianqiang.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister, on your cultivation breakthrough."

"This is all thanks to the Pill that Senior Brother gave me." She smiled sweetly and took out a Jade Slip, "Senior Brother, this is an item I found in a market outside the sect. It seems to be a Pill Formula, but there is a Restriction inside the Jade Slip; only an Alchemist can view it."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang showed an expression of interest. He withdrew his palm, took the Jade Slip, and extended his Spirit Sense into it.

The next moment, his Spirit Sense suddenly encountered resistance.

"There really is a Restriction."

Wang Jianqiang narrowed his eyes and poured his Spirit Sense in with full force.

Crack!

A sound like a mirror shattering rang out from thin air.

The Restriction shattered.

A piece of information immediately appeared in Wang Jianqiang's mind.

Wang Yu Yao was right; what this Jade Slip contained was indeed a Pill Formula.

But the name made him pause in surprise.

"Mortal Dust Pill?"

What a strange name.

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow and carefully studied the information in his mind.

"How is it?"

After waiting for a moment, seeing that Wang Jianqiang remained silent, Wang Yu Yao could not help but ask.

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang came back to his senses and shook his head.

The Jade Slip only contained the Pill Formula, with no record of the Pill's effects whatsoever.

However, seeing Wang Yu Yao looking at him with full expectation, he couldn't help but smile, "A good Pill Formula, I like it very much."

"As long as you like it."

Hearing this, Wang Yu Yao let out a long sigh of relief, a happy smile spreading across her face.

For an Alchemist, the appeal of a Pill Formula is beyond doubt.

Although Wang Jianqiang did not specialize in Alchemy, his interest in this mysterious Pill Formula remained high.

But to know the function of this Mortal Dust Pill,

he would only know after refining it and testing it.

Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Yu Yao, "Wait for me a moment."

After speaking, he quickly went to the Alchemy room.

The materials for refining the Mortal Dust Pill were very common, and he happened to have them on him.

He did not refine it immediately, but focused his mind on the Jade Slip.

The next moment, the system's voice rang out.

"Ding, an inferior Pill Formula has been detected. Optimizing and upgrading the Pill Formula will consume 30 Cultivation Points. Do you wish to optimize and upgrade?"

"Yes."

"Ding, the Mortal Dust Pill Formula has been successfully optimized and upgraded to the Perfect Mortal Dust Pill Formula."

Following the system's voice, the Pill Formula in his mind had been optimized.

Wang Jianqiang immediately set to work refining it.

One hour later.

A Mortal Dust Pill was produced.

Wang Jianqiang walked out of the Alchemy room and saw Wang Yu Yao waiting obediently outside.

He smiled, casually tossed the Mortal Dust Pill in his hand onto a table nearby, and walked toward her.

Half an hour later.

"The Outer Sect Competition is being held in two and a half months. Have you thought about participating?"

Wang Jianqiang recovered a bit of strength and turned his head to look at Wang Yu Yao, who was standing to the side, neatly dressed.

Hearing this, Wang Yu Yao's expression dimmed, "Only the top fifty in the Outer Sect Competition receive rewards. Although I have reached Qi Refining Perfection, my spell cultivation is too mediocre; I fear I cannot defeat some of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivators with solid foundations."

"Participating in the competition will only make me a laughingstock; it would be better not to participate."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "What if I am confident that I can get you into the top fifty, or even the top ten?"

Wang Yu Yao was stunned, then became excited, "Really?"

"Wang does not do things without certainty. Since I have said it, I will certainly be able to do it." Wang Jianqiang stared at Wang Yu Yao, "Just tell me if you want to participate or not."

"The Outer Sect Competition is a grand event for the entire sect. Everyone who enters the top fifty receives a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward, and they are even more likely to receive the attention of Inner Sect Elders. If I could enter the top fifty, Junior Sister would naturally desire it above all else."

Thinking of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Wang Yu Yao's cheeks flushed with excitement.

How precious is the Foundation Establishment Pill; how many Outer Sect Disciples who have reached Qi Refining Perfection seek it in vain.

Now that she had just reached Qi Refining Perfection, she had a chance to obtain one.

How could one not be excited?

"Since that is the case, then it is settled."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "You go and register first; leave the rest to me."

"Many thanks, Senior Brother. Junior Sister is endlessly grateful for your great kindness."

Wang Yu Yao nodded heavily, her face full of gratitude.

For the past her, Foundation Establishment was a dream and goal to strive for over a lifetime.

But now, her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.

In just a few short months, she had completed the goals of the next several decades.

Now, she even had the opportunity to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill to attempt a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage!

All of this was brought about by Wang Jianqiang.

"Ding, Good and Evil Value increased."

A mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

During this period, Wang Yu Yao's Good and Evil Value toward him had risen rapidly.

It had already reached 90 points before.

And now.

Wang Jianqiang split off a wisp of consciousness to look at the light screen belonging to Wang Yu Yao in his mind.

The number in the Good and Evil Value column had already changed to 96.

"It is about to reach the maximum value."

Wang Jianqiang felt somewhat excited in his heart.

He had always suspected that once the Good and Evil Value reached the maximum, the system would very likely unlock new functions.

But unfortunately, that ingrate Chen Jiaojiao was impossible to cultivate.

No matter how he operated, the Good and Evil Value just stayed at 80 points and could not be increased further.

Wang Yu Yao, on the other hand, had come from behind to take the lead.

In just over three months, it had rapidly increased to 96 points.

After coming back to his senses, Wang Jianqiang looked at Wang Yu Yao, his gaze becoming increasingly kind, "Junior Sister, no need for formalities; go and register quickly."

After Wang Yu Yao left, he lay there for a while longer.

Having just recovered a little strength, he was preparing to get out of bed.

A charming, soft, and alluring voice suddenly rang out.

"Tsk tsk, Junior Nephew is truly young at heart despite his age."

Before the voice had even faded, a figure in a red dress appeared out of thin air by the bedside, looking at Wang Jianqiang with a smile.

The newcomer appeared too abruptly; Wang Jianqiang was startled and instinctively performed a carp-leap to get up.

But he had overlooked the fact that he had not yet fully recovered.

He fell back down halfway through rising.

After failing to get up, he reacted quickly and rolled off the bed without hesitation.

Only after putting some distance between himself and the newcomer did he have the time to look at her.

When he saw her appearance clearly, his eyes nearly went straight.

Too beautiful.

The newcomer was a beauty on the same level as Dong Yue.

Her looks were not at all inferior to Su Yutong, one of the Outer Sect Three Beauties, and her temperament and figure were even a cut above.

"Tsk tsk tsk, already at such an age, yet your mindset is still quite young."

Yan Qingxuan gave a charming smile and deliberately tugged at her skirt.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes widened a fraction more.

Immediately following, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, and a cold snort reached his ears.

"Audacious and lustful, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Wang Jianqiang reacted instantly, only then discovering that the woman in the red dress had appeared in front of him at some point.

Her cold face was almost pressed against his.
