Chapter 71: Junior Brother Wang is a Good Person

"What promise?"

Hearing Dong Yue's words, Wang Jianqiang was taken aback.

"After you become a Second-Grade Advanced Alchemist, help me refine a Small Creation Pill."

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow, "Is Elder Dong so certain that I can become a Second-Grade Advanced Alchemist?"

Dong Yue nodded, "I have seen your growth during this period, and I have confidence in you."

"Why must it be me? It seems the sect is not lacking in Second-Grade Advanced Alchemists, right? Even Third-Grade Alchemists seem to be around." A flash of confusion crossed Wang Jianqiang's face.

Dong Yue shook her head, "The Small Creation Pill is an Ancient Pill Formula I obtained by chance; although it is only Second-Grade Advanced, the requirements for refining it are quite special."

"This pill does not allow for even the slightest bit of Pill Poison to be mixed in at the time of completion, otherwise it will turn into a poisonous pill with no efficacy at all."

"A normal Alchemist simply cannot refine it successfully."

Hearing Dong Yue's words, Wang Jianqiang finally understood.

No wonder the other party gave him so many conveniences after seeing he could refine a Perfect Pill, and no wonder she was so excited when she heard he had become a Second-tier Alchemist.

It turned out she had been plotting this all along.

However, Wang Jianqiang did not feel any resentment toward Dong Yue's plotting.

Regardless of what Dong Yue's starting point was, at the very least, it had brought him tangible convenience.

As for why Dong Yue needed the Small Creation Pill?

He did not ask, nor did he need to ask.

A dignified genius with a Heavenly Spirit Root stopping at Foundation Establishment Perfection must be because their foundation had suffered severe damage.

And the Small Creation Pill was inevitably the pill she needed to restore her foundation.

Thinking of this, Wang Jianqiang looked Dong Yue up and down.

A flash of amazement crossed his eyes.

"Elder Dong, one promise in exchange for one condition, can these words be taken as true?"

"Naturally, they are true." Dong Yue nodded.

"Very well, my request is very simple: sleep with me."

"What?" Dong Yue was stunned, thinking she had misheard.

Wang Jianqiang could only repeat it once more, "Sleep with this Disciple."

Dong Yue's face turned red in a flash.

It is true that the Hehuan Sect advocates dual cultivation, but seeking a Dao Companion among sect members and disciples is still relatively subtle, not as unscrupulous as the demonic Six Desires Sect.

She had many suitors, and Ye Fan was considered one of the thicker-skinned ones among them.

But even so, he always maintained a polite and refined appearance when facing her.

When had he ever spoken such vulgar words?

"You—you—how can you be so vulgar."

Where had Dong Yue ever encountered such a situation?

If anyone else had teased her like this, she could have taken action without hesitation.

But now, she was the one asking Wang Jianqiang for a favor, and it was also she who had taken the initiative to propose "one condition in exchange for one promise."

At this moment, she, who had always been indifferent in nature, felt somewhat at a loss.

Hearing Dong Yue's words, Wang Jianqiang looked completely innocent.

"Elder Dong, what you said is a bit wrong; doesn't our Hehuan Sect advocate the path of dual cultivation the most? At most, I am just being relatively direct."

Dong Yue was speechless for a moment, and only after a long while did she say with a flushed face, "But you can't be like this; I am an Elder, after all."

"So what? If you don't say it and I don't say it, who would know?"

Dong Yue was startled.

It seemed to make some sense.

She did not respond immediately, frowning as she pondered.

Thinking of the consequences if she could not break through, she finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

"Fine, I agree."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang was overjoyed and, rubbing his hands, walked toward Dong Yue.

"Elder Dong, excuse my offense."

……

Good times always pass quickly.

The next day, early morning.

Wang Jianqiang walked out of the room, the morning sunlight spilling onto his body, the faint stinging sensation making him unable to help but squint his eyes.

Recalling last night, he couldn't help but savor the memory.

As expected of Elder Dong, not only was her cultivation talent high, but her physical talent was also exaggeratedly strong.

It was just that her personality was a bit shy; she had run away in the middle of the night.

Just as he stretched his body and prepared to return to the room to refine equipment and accumulate Cultivation Points, a figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Ye Fan!

Seeing the person who had arrived, Wang Jianqiang's brows furrowed imperceptibly.

"Little friend, we meet again."

A moment later, Ye Fan arrived before Wang Jianqiang and showed a friendly smile toward him.

"Greetings, Elder."

Wang Jianqiang bowed respectfully to Ye Fan.

"Young friend, there is no need for such formalities."

Ye Fan hurriedly stepped forward two paces, enthusiastically supported Wang Jianqiang, and then asked Wang Jianqiang with some embarrassment, "Young friend, after we parted yesterday, did you see Rou'er again?"

"I did." Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he said somewhat eagerly, "Then, young friend, did you put in a good word for me?"

"Uh, we were both too tired yesterday, so we didn't get around to the matter of the Elder." Wang Jianqiang looked somewhat apologetic.

"Tired?"

Ye Fan was stunned.

"Yes, Elder Dong came specifically to guide this Disciple's cultivation last night." Wang Jianqiang nodded.

"So that's how it is." Ye Fan suddenly understood, then smiled, "It seems your relationship with Rou'er is truly close; entrusting my affairs to you was definitely the right choice."

Wang Jianqiang also smiled, "Rest assured, Elder, your affairs are this Disciple's affairs; this Disciple will certainly handle things for you beautifully."

"Good, good, good~"

Ye Fan was overjoyed, and in his excitement, he said the word "good" three times.

"However, there is something this Disciple is not sure whether to say or not."

Just then, Wang Jianqiang suddenly changed the subject, looking at Ye Fan with a hesitant expression.

Ye Fan smiled, "Pah, we are all our own people; Brother Wang, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Since that is the case, then I will speak plainly."

Wang Jianqiang paused for a moment, then continued, "Elder Dong has been plagued by an old ailment for many years, her cultivation has stagnated, and she has been unable to break through; Brother Ye should know about this, right?"

"Naturally." Ye Fan nodded and sighed, "It's a pity that the Pill to repair one's foundation is too hard to come by, and I am unable to help."

"Brother Ye need not worry; Elder Dong already has a lead on treating her foundation injuries."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and continued, "The matter I wanted to remind Brother Ye about is precisely related to this."

"Recently, Elder Dong has put almost all her energy into this, with no time to be distracted; you had best not disturb her at this juncture, otherwise, I fear you will leave a bad impression."

Rou'er has already found a way to resolve her injuries?

Hearing the first half of Wang Jianqiang's sentence, Ye Fan could not help but show joy on his face.

After hearing the second half of Wang Jianqiang's sentence, he fell into deep thought, then looked at Wang Jianqiang with a face full of agreement.

"Brother Wang is indeed thoughtful; I, Ye, will certainly keep this in mind."

Having said that, he cupped his fists toward Wang Jianqiang with a solemn expression.

Wang Jianqiang waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother Ye, you mustn't, this really won't do."

"I felt like old friends with you the moment we met; helping you is only right and proper."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Ye Fan could not help but recall his own rude behavior of using force to pressure others when he first met Wang Jianqiang.

Ye Fan, oh Ye Fan, look at him, then look at yourself; are you even human?

The regret in his heart grew even heavier.

Looking at Wang Jianqiang, he could not help but sigh with emotion.

"Brother Wang is truly a good person."
