Chapter 45: Too Powerful To Overcome

When Su Jingzhen heard Shuang Jiang’s words, his heart skipped a beat.

Tomorrow was the day of the Spirit Awakening Ceremony, and today he needed to make some preparations.

At the very least, he needed to prepare a defensive weapon.

Even if he didn’t have the magic brick he wanted, he still needed to prepare other high-level weapons like swords, guns, and halberds.

Yesterday, he had refined a total of 25 Green Spirit Pills, and although Shuang Jiang had given 10 of them to Zhang Xiu, he still had 15 high-quality pills and 2 low-quality ones left.

Moreover, he still had dozens of low-quality spirit stones left over from last time.

He thought to himself that buying a low-quality weapon should be more than enough.

Thinking of this, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate anymore and left the academy directly.

As Shuang Jiang had said, he couldn’t always rely on Shuang Jiang to follow him.

Currently, he still had 205 points that he could use, and he could open the Surging Spring secret sanctuary at any time.

Cultivating his body would allow him to upgrade one to two levels at any time.

This was one of his trump cards.

When his Flesh Body Mysterious Embryo was at the third layer, he could defeat Lin Ping, who was at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, with a single brick.

And now, even if he couldn’t defeat someone at the late stage of Qi Refining, he was confident that he could retreat unscathed.

He was no longer the Su Jingzhen who was afraid to try anything, stuck at the first layer of Qi Refining.

Just like the first time he went to sell Qi-replenishing Pills, before leaving Peach Blossom Alley, Su Jingzhen had already changed into a black robe in a dark corner.

Without hesitation, he headed straight to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

The pavilion was already crowded early in the morning.

Su Jingzhen still chose the innermost window.

As he waited, he carefully listened to the conversations of the people in line.

He discovered that most of the cultivators who came today were looking to buy pills, talismans, and other consumables.

Moreover, he unexpectedly heard a piece of news – the final treasure of Clear Wind Mountain had been discovered, and it was currently in a state of intense competition.

These people were all trying to get a share of the spoils.

In everyone’s perception, they were the main characters of this world.

When facing such situations, most people believed that their luck was enough to get them a certain amount of blessings.

However, reality was that most people who went up the mountain were just cannon fodder.

Su Jingzhen’s heart was slightly moved, thinking that cultivating immortality was not easy, but as long as one had a bit of luck, they would attract countless people to follow, even if it meant risking their lives.

However, on the other hand, he felt a bit excited.

It was clear that the demand for consumables was at an all-time high today.

So, the Green Spirit Pills in his hand would likely increase in value.

As he thought about this, the person in front of him, dressed in black like him, had already finished their transaction.

He walked up to the window again.

It was the same familiar little girl.

This time, he didn’t hesitate and directly took out the token with the “Zhe” character.

“I need to see Feng Qingya.”

Although it had only been a day, he was still looking forward to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s power.

Feng Qingya had promised to help him find a brick-type weapon yesterday.

Even if they didn’t have one, Feng Qingya’s artifacts were still top-notch.

If Shuang Jiang were with him, he would have chosen to go directly to the second floor without hesitation.

But currently, his cultivation level wasn’t high enough.

Moreover, when he was alone, he didn’t want to be too flashy in front of everyone.

When the girl at the window saw the token, her expression changed, and she looked surprised.

“Master, please wait!”

Yesterday, after Su Jingzhen and the others left, Feng Qingya had given her special instructions.

No matter when, as long as someone with this token came, she had to notify her and offer a heavy reward.

The girl stood up, bowed to Su Jingzhen, and then went to the back hall.

Not long after, Feng Qingya’s tall and slender figure appeared in Su Jingzhen’s line of sight.

Today, she was wearing a purple, tight-fitting long dress.

Her perfect figure was accentuated, making her look even more noble and charming.

When Su Jingzhen saw her, the first thing that came to mind was: Does purple really have a special charm?

However, the same was true – the fabric of her dress was also extremely luxurious.

“Hehe… Master, you’re here again.”

“But why didn’t you bring that master today?”

Feng Qingya’s heart was a bit excited when she heard the little girl’s words, knowing that Su Jingzhen had come alone.

To be honest, when Shuang Jiang was around, Feng Qingya would feel a bit tense.

After all, the first time they met, Shuang Jiang’s aura had already given her immense pressure.

But when facing Su Jingzhen alone, she would feel more at ease.

After all, in her eyes, Su Jingzhen was just a talented alchemist, but still a novice in the cultivation world.

And she inferred that Shuang Jiang wasn’t with Su Jingzhen today, so…

It seemed that Shuang Jiang had already left.

After all, a strong cultivator like them wouldn’t stay in a small place like this for long.

In this way, her chances would be even greater.

If she could thoroughly pull this alchemy genius into the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and cultivate him, he would definitely become a high-level alchemist in the future.

And he would be a high-level alchemist exclusively belonging to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, which would be a great achievement for Feng Qingya.

She had a keen eye for people and knew that Su Jingzhen had immense potential.

Thinking of this, Feng Qingya’s charm became even more intense.

However, it made Su Jingzhen feel even more pressure.

He was indeed a young man with a lot of vigor, but he was still a Qi-refining Stage cultivator.

He intentionally avoided looking at Feng Qingya’s gaze and smiled, saying, “Can’t I make a deal just because I came alone?”

He directly took out the Green Spirit Pills he wanted to sell.

“Miss Feng, can you help me calculate the value of these pills? With the current market price, how many low-quality spirit stones can I get for them?”

Su Jingzhen’s voice was extremely calm.

It even made Feng Qingya slightly stunned.

Was it possible that her charm had no effect on even a Qi-refining Stage novice like him?

“Master, you’re really good at joking. Let me help you calculate it.”

Feng Qingya’s face still had that charming smile.

She stretched out her hand to take the jade bottle, and her green jade-like fingers seemed to unintentionally brush against Su Jingzhen’s hand.

The touch was cool and extremely smooth.

Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat, and he slightly regretted not bringing Shuang Jiang with him.

This seductress’s power was too deep; if he came a few more times, he might not be able to resist.

He didn’t know if it was psychological or really effective, but after silently reciting the Clear Mind Incantation, Su Jingzhen’s heart became calm and tranquil.

“Mind like ice, unshaken by the heavens, unchanging amidst a thousand changes, calm and serene…”

When he looked at Feng Qingya again, his heart was indeed no longer disturbed.
