And all of this was because of Zhu Yunxin. If it wasn't for Zhu Yunxin who found the hundred year old Radix Szechwan, Zhou Tong wouldn't have been able to refine the Deep Earth Spirit Pill.

In the past few days, Zhou Tong stayed in the medicine shop where Zhu Yunxin resided. Originally, he wanted to teach Zhu Yunxin how to refine pills, but he didn't expect to spend an entire three days cultivating.

When he walked out of the room, it was already evening. Zhou Tong opened the curtain of the door and walked into the medicine store that had been temporarily repaired with wooden planks, his gaze swept around the shop and found that inside the cubicle, a fire was still flickering. Through the half-closed door, a graceful figure dressed in a pure white dress was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat as she wholeheartedly stared at the medicine cauldron in front of her.

Zhou Tong quietly stepped into the cubicle, and looked at the fire dancing inside the medicine cauldron in front of Zhu Yunxin, as well as the books and failed products on the floor. Imprinted with a flame, Zhu Yunxin's beautiful face revealed traces of exhaustion. Her beautiful eyes were bloodshot, probably because she had not had a good rest for two to three days.

As if he had heard the sound of footsteps, the spirit energy in Zhu Yunxin's hands instantly became a little scattered, and the flame inside the medicinal cauldron increased several fold, almost burning the medicinal ingredients into charcoal.

”Relax, when refining pills, you have to be calm.” Zhou Tong smiled as he walked forward and reached out to press his hand onto Zhu Yunxin's fair little hand, gently pressing down on the door of fire.

Following Zhou Tong's guidance, the flames in the medicinal cauldron calmed down, and a moment later, a round, second rank healing pill was fresh from the furnace.

Looking at the fresh Tier 2 pills, Zhu Yunxin's face lit up. According to the method and formula that Zhou Tong had given her, in these five days, it was the first time Zhu Yunxin had been able to refine a Tier 2 pill.

After putting away the pills, Zhu Yunxin looked at the pleased expression on Zhou Tong's face and could not help but smile: ”You have not eaten yet, right? It's still hot in the house. Sit down for a while, I'll serve it to you. ”

Hearing such soft words, Zhou Tong's heart was moved, these words, this scene, was like the wife that had been waiting for her husband for a long time. Her gentle words, were filled with warmth and concern.

Zhou Tong sat down beside Zhu Yunxin, extended his hand and gently patted Zhu Yunxin's head. Zhu Yunxin's beautiful face flushed red at first, and timidly shifted his gaze away, but after a while, the expression on her face calmed down, as if he was enjoying being closer to Zhou Tong.

”I have to leave tomorrow morning. Will it be okay for you to stay by yourself?” After pondering for a moment, Zhou Tong sighed.

Zhu Yunxin's expression froze for a moment, then became gentle again after. She nodded slightly and said, ”No problem, I want to stay here and help the people here. Yali Town's reconstruction may take two to three years.

In Zhu Yunxin's eyes, a look of anticipation flashed past, but was quickly extinguished. When the time comes, I will go find you. She was still unable to say it out loud in the end.

Zhou Tong laughed lightly as he took out a blue colored long sword from the Sumeru Pearl and handed it over to Zhu Yunxin, ”This is forged with the Black Frosted Tiger's sharp horn, I call it 'Shui Han'. Take it and practice properly with it, the cultivation techniques and sword techniques that I left for you, as long as you practice diligently, after three years, your strength should be enough for you to directly enter the sect. I'll come back and pick you up when you're down. ”

”En!” After receiving the water-cold sword, Zhu Yunxin was stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately broke into a smile and nodded her head strongly, then pointed to a cloth bag at the corner of the wall and said, ”I haven't even washed your robe yet. Why don't you put it here for now?”

”Then I'll stay with you for now,” Zhou Tong said with a gentle smile. ”After you finish what you want to do, I'll come back to get it, and take you back to the sect at the same time.”

Enjoying the warmth brought by Zhou Tong's palm, Zhu Yunxin couldn't help but rub her hand against Zhou Tong's palm and obediently nod her head.

”I'm going. Cultivate well. If you're lazy, I won't come to pick you up.”

”Then take care, I'll wait for you!”

Raising his head to look at the person in front of him, Zhu Yunxin smiled, there was a trace of reluctance in his smile, and watched Zhou Tong leave, his gaze following Zhou Tong's departure. Finally, he let out a sigh, his face a little lonely, but after a moment, Zhu Yunxin shook his head, and threw him out.

After standing at the door for a long time, until he finally calmed down, Zhu Yunxin then turned back and returned to the shop's cubicle, and continued to study the handwritten manuals that Zhou Tong had left him.
