After checking through all of the scrolls Xiao Rong had completed, Su Yang nodded to himself, "Although she still thinks like a child, her knowledge on the human language would not lose to an average human adult."
Su Yang was pleased by the results of her progress in just a few days ti. At least she won’t have trouble speaking to anyone that is not him for now.
As for her state of mind that still resembles a child, there’s nothing he can do besides allow her to grow naturally. However, since Xiao Rong is also a Phantom Cat and a beast in general, her growth in that aspect should be overwhelmingly quick.
But because she’s spent her entire life isolated in the desolate Immortal Treasury that lacked everything required for a living being to grow, her state of mind was frozen without any chance to grow.
This is also one reason why Su Yang encourages Xiao Rong to go ’play’. He’s only trying to allow her to grow in the wild, where all beast normally grows.
"Good, you are more than proficient enough in the human language to stop studying it. As a reward, you can go play outside for the next few days," he said to her.
However, Xiao Rong did not react as Su Yang expected. Usually, she would jump in joy and leave to play without wasting even a second. Now, however, she only stood there staring at him with a frown, seemingly unhappy about the situation.
"What’s wrong?" he asked her.
"I don’t want to play outside," she looked at him with dissatisfaction. "I want to study more and get rewarded even more!"
After all, if there’s nothing else for her to learn, her reward would also disappear!
"..."
Su Yang smiled with a bitter face. She obviously studied only for the reward and nothing else.
"I will give you sothing to study later. As for now, just go and have fun," he said after a mont.
"Yes..." Although she accepted the outco, she was clearly reluctant to accept that fact that there won’t be any more rewards for so ti.
"Take this Appearance Reforming Pill before you leave," Su Yang handed her a pill. "And don’t forget to put your clothes back on."
Xiao Rong tossed the pill in her mouth and dressed herself with a dejected expression.
Once Xiao Rong left the room to play, Su Yang returned to the Cauldron Room, where Zhu ngyi was so focused on the cauldron that she didn’t even notice him leave.
After another hour of waiting, the cauldron began trembling, almost like there was an earthquake.
Su Yang was not bothered by the sudden movent, not even worried that it might explode, and continued to sit there and watch.
A few more monts later, Zhu ngyi snapped her eyes open and slapped the cauldron, sending the lip flying to the side of the room.
Grey smoke imdiately emitting from the cauldron.
Zhu ngyi watched the grey smoke coming out of the cauldron with a wide smile brimming with a sense of achievent, her entire body drenched in sweat.
"I did it! I have successfully created the Earth Advancent Pill!" she said, sounding exhausted.
Su Yang did not say anything and approached the cauldron, reaching his hand inside to grab the pill.
Once he lifted the Earth Advancent Pill out of the cauldron, Zhu ngyi could see a small pill with many dark spots scattered around the pill.
"..."
Although the Earth Advancent Pill ca out as low quality, the smile on Zhu ngyi’s face remained. All that mattered to her was that the pill has been completed without destroying the cauldron.
However, the smile on Zhu ngyi’s face instantly ca off after Su Yang opened his mouth to speak, "What is this rubbish? You can’t consider sothing like this a pill! Do it again!"
Zhu ngyi’s jaw dropped to the floor upon hearing his harsh words, and the sense of achievent in her heart instantly disappeared.
Su Yang continued, "With your current understanding for the Controlling Heaven and Earth technique, you should be able to concoct at least a dium-quality pill of this grade!"
Zhu ngyi, after hearing such words, forgot about being tired and ignored the disappointnt in her heart and started on the second Earth Advancent Pill.
"I can tell that you rushed the outco of the pill towards the end, hence this garbage pill! Take your ti and do it right this ti!"
Indeed, Zhu ngyi had been too arrogant after seeing how smooth it went in the beginning, rushing the pill.
"I am sorry, I will do it right this ti..." she said with a sigh, regretting the fact that she had rushed it and lost the chance to impress him, even getting a scolding from him.
Soti later, Zhu ngyi finished the preparations and began concocting the pill once again.
This ti, however, she took her ti and did not rush anything.
A few hours later, the cauldron before Zhe ngyi began trembling again.
Zhu ngyi quickly removed the cover from the cauldron and waited for the smoke to co out.
This ti, the smoke was near black, aning that she’d managed to purify more impurities than the previous pill.
Once the pill was taken out of the cauldron, Zhu ngyi’s smile returned to her face.
"A dium quality pill!" she looked at the pill as though it was her baby.
Although it took two hours longer than the previous attempt, she managed to turn the low-quality pill into a dium quality pill!
Su Yang nodded and said, "You will continue to concoct the sa pill for the next two days until there’s not even a speck of impurities in the pill! If you cannot accomplish this by then, you can forget about coming back!"
Zhu ngyi looked at him with a scared look and said, "You want to concoct a flawless-quality pill in two days?! That’s unreasonable!"
"You think it’s impossible?" Su Yang coldly snorted, "Then you might as well leave now and don’t co back."
"..."
Zhu ngyi bit her lip and said with a resolved face, looking like she had accepted his challenge. "I have run out of ingredients will be right back with even more!"
Su Yang smiled and said, "That’s more like it."
