23: Chapter 23 Zhu Qing's favorability has exceeded 80.

Two days later, in the morning, Su Ling returned to Shrek Academy with the others.

There were no surprises along the way. However, upon arriving at the entrance of Shrek Academy, Su Ling found Flender and expressed his intention to go out and train for a while.

"Su Ling, have you thought this through? Do you really want to go out and train? According to the academy's rules, you'll be leaving in a few months anyway, why leave so early?" Flender asked.

"Dean, I have something to take care of. Half a year will be enough, and I will definitely return before my graduation," Su Ling said.

"That's fine. We will hold your graduation ceremony when you return, since you have already met the graduation requirements," Flender said.

"Good. Don't touch my dormitory; I still need to come back and live there," Su Ling said.

He couldn't leave Shrek Academy just yet. There were three goddesses whose favorability he was farming. If he didn't max them out, Su Ling certainly wouldn't leave easily.

The main reason was that he needed to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well early to obtain the immortal herbs.

If he continued to follow the routine and Cultivate with everyone at Shrek, the plot might unknowingly correct itself to match the original story, and the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well might no longer be his.

Su Ling intended to farm Xiao Wu's favorability, which meant he would inevitably come into conflict with Tang San in the future.

Although Tang San had helped him when defending against the Bloodthirsty Magic Ant in the forest, he remembered this kindness and would definitely repay it later, but that was no reason for him to give up the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Brother Su, are you leaving so soon?" Ning Rongrong asked.

Su Ling said, "It's nothing. I'll be back in three months at the earliest, and half a year at the latest. You all should Cultivate well."

"Fatty, take this. Be a bit more frugal in the future." Su Ling took out a bag of gold coins, containing about two hundred gold coins.

"Thank you, Boss Su." Ma Hongjun said with excitement. Now he could use this to properly purge his evil fire and wouldn't have to go to those cheap places anymore.

"No need to thank me. You used your full strength to protect me in the Star Dou Great Forest; this is what you deserve," Su Ling said with a smile.

"And everyone else, I'll bring you gifts when I return."

"Hmph, that's more like it." Xiao Wu pouted.

"Alright, I won't go back into the academy. Dean, Teacher Zhao, everyone, we shall meet again in the future." After saying this, Su Ling walked directly towards Soto City.

"Su Ling, have a safe trip." At this moment, Zhuqing suddenly walked in front of Su Ling.

It seemed that because Su Ling was leaving, she couldn't help but walk over.

"Thank you. Zhuqing, you must protect yourself well, and you should smile more in the future." When Su Ling said this, he activated the Listen to Advice skill, and it was successful.

"Mm!" Zhuqing nodded, a beautiful smile appearing on her face, as if there was only Su Ling in her eyes.

Watching Su Ling leave, Zhuqing felt a bit reluctant.

Moreover, an hour ago, Su Ling had quietly given her a bottle, telling her there were nine Medicinal Pills inside, one to be taken every seven days, which would help her increase her Soul Power without side effects.

"Thank you!" Zhuqing whispered before turning back.

Suddenly, Zhuqing realized that everyone else was looking at her with strange expressions.

"Zhuqing, don't tell me you've fallen for Brother Su," Ning Rongrong teased.

"Ho-how could that be?" Zhuqing immediately retorted.

"The smile you had just now was quite unusual," Ning Rongrong said again.

"Let's go, hurry back to the academy. You all will start a new round of special training immediately." Seeing Dai Mubai's face change, Flender spoke up to end the awkward scene.

...

[Ding... Zhuqing's favorability +3, obtained Yellow Treasure Chest +2, Purple Treasure Chest +1]

Huh, Zhuqing's favorability increased.

Still a little bit away from eighty! Very good, it seems the Medicinal Pill I gave her worked.

Su Ling had intended to give all three goddesses some primary spirit power pills, but although these primary spirit power pills were effective for Spirit Elders, the improvement wasn't particularly significant, as they were most useful for Spirit Grandmasters.

Therefore, Su Ling excluded Xiao Wu, and since Ning Rongrong's Soul Power had just broken through to Rank 26 a few days ago, he didn't consider her for the time being. When he returned, Ning Rongrong should still be at this Rank.

As for Zhuqing, at the Peak of Rank 27, she was just right for the primary spirit power pill. If nothing went wrong, Zhuqing should be able to reach Rank 28 after taking one.

Only then could the quality of these primary spirit power pills be demonstrated.

For the sake of the immortal herbs, Su Ling had to temporarily give up on farming the favorability of these three goddesses.

Also, Su Ling knew that the one called Great Master had arrived. Staying at the academy to be lectured by him was really not as good as leaving for a while.

Su Ling arrived at Soto City but did not leave immediately.

Instead, he went to a blacksmith shop in Soto City and spent one hundred gold coins to have a set of special training equipment made.

A set of weighted equipment. The method Great Master used of carrying stones in a basket was simply too primitive; it was only slightly better than running while holding a stone.

It would take one day to forge the equipment, so Su Ling found a hotel in Soto City to stay in.

And late that night, the System notification sounded.

[Ding... Zhuqing's favorability +2, obtained Purple Treasure Chest +2]

[Ding... Zhuqing's favorability is greater than or equal to 80. After obtaining favorability, the host has a high probability of obtaining a Purple Treasure Chest, a certain probability of obtaining a Black Treasure Chest, and a very small probability of obtaining a Red Treasure Chest!]

"It's over eighty, great!"

"I can actually obtain a Red Treasure Chest. Can I go back now?"

At this time, he estimated that Zhuqing had already taken the primary spirit power pill, and her Soul Power had broken through to Rank 28, which was why her favorability had increased.

Su Ling wanted to go back and farm Zhuqing's favorability intensely right now, but how could he farm it at this moment?

Just chatting certainly wouldn't work; there had to be things or events that would make the goddess's heart flutter.

Therefore, Su Ling felt that for the next step of re-farming Zhuqing's favorability, immortal herbs would be best. He knew that after Tang San gave Zhuqing an immortal herb, he hugged and kissed her.

By then, wouldn't the favorability of Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong also see a huge increase?

So, to re-farm the goddesses' favorability, one must invest. As the saying goes, if you don't risk the child, you won't catch the wolf.

Su Ling looked at the System panel!

[Bound Goddess: Zhuqing]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 94]

[Favorability: 81 (Already loves the host)]

[Binding Effect: The host can obtain 30% of the bound goddess's daily Cultivate results without reducing the bound goddess's Cultivate speed.]

[Binding Skill 1: Listen to Advice (Can be activated once a day, the bound goddess has a 50% chance to follow the host's advice)]

[Binding Skill 2: Luck (Passive skill, when Zhuqing is within 100 meters of the host, the host can receive a certain luck bonus!)]

This time, Su Ling discovered that the System had not refreshed any new skills. The previous skills had increased a bit, but they weren't very useful. Could it be that this was the end?

Was it impossible to refresh a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

The System did not respond to him, and Su Ling could only wait to see if there would be any changes in the future.

Sitting cross-legged, Su Ling circulated his Soul Power and began to Cultivate.

After absorbing the external Spirit Bone, his Soul Power had increased significantly.

Coupled with the surplus from previously absorbing the spirit ring and reaching Rank 42, he was now on the verge of a Breakthrough, one could say he was only a hair's breadth away from completing the Breakthrough.

"System, give me all the accumulated Cultivate results from the goddesses at once," Su Ling said.

After he finished speaking, a burst of energy was injected into Su Ling's body, and Su Ling began to absorb this power.

A portion came from Zhuqing, and another portion was from Meng Yiran.

Although this amount of Cultivate results wasn't much, it seemed that this was exactly what Su Ling needed for his Breakthrough.

One night was just enough to let him Breakthrough from Rank 42 to Rank 43.
