At the inn.

Feng Zhi had traveled for a whole day and was resting here.

“Two taels of warm wine.”

She pulled the bench and greeted the waiter.

As soon as she said that, mocking laughter came from behind her.

Feng Zhi turned her head. Gu Qinglian and Feng Lan walked up to her with their arms crossed. They were surrounded by countless servants.

“Move all the things to the second floor. Tell the shopkeeper to open another room to store the things.”

Gu Qinglian raised an eyebrow and deliberately sat opposite Feng Zhi. The servants wiped the gold cups and ivory chopsticks clean and placed them in front of her.

That posture made her look like a pampered princess.

Feng Zhi could not be bothered to waste her breath on them. However, Gu Qinglian wanted to make things difficult for her. She pretended to raise her head in surprise.

“Isn’t this the young miss of the Feng Family?”

“Why are you here by yourself? Are you only drinking two taels of wine? There aren’t even any dishes to go with the wine!”

“Where are the maids and servants by your side? Don’t tell me you’re going to the Academy by yourself? You don’t even have anyone to serve you!”

“In any case, you’re still the daughter of the patriarch of the Feng family now. You shouldn’t be so pitiful, right?”

“Could it be that you’ve awakened your water bloodline and are too high-profile to be laughed at by others?”

Gu Qinglian said noisily. The surrounding diners were also looking sideways at Feng Zhi.

They had come from different places, and some of them had never heard of her. After being explained, it didn’t take long for their gazes to turn into pity and sadness.

Feng Zhi’s eyes darkened, and then the corners of her lips curled up.

“I was wondering who it was. So it’s the precious jewel of the Gu family!”

“The family rules of the Feng family are humble and reserved, unlike you, who likes to be high-profile and loyal. I heard that in the city, as long as the Gu family’s young miss appears, the people will be blessed. They don’t even have to pay for their own food, drinks, and entertainment. I wonder if this rumor is true?”

Feng Zhi deliberately spoke loudly, and the surrounding diners with knives began to jeer.

He whistled and shouted at Gu Qinglian.

“What? Are you lucky enough to have a glass of wine from the Gu family’s young miss today?”

“That’s right! If even the common people can bask in your glory and eat and drink for free, surely we can too, right? Or does miss Gu look down on us?”

Feng Zhi had achieved her goal. Seeing Gu Qinglian’s livid face, she curled her lips and said silently.

“You’re welcome! It’s what I ought to do.”

“You!”

Gu Qinglian’s face was flushed red.

She could not lose the Gu family’s face while she was outside. She could only endure her anger and said with a smile, “since fate has brought us together, I’ll naturally put all of your debts on Qinglian!”

“Good! Miss Gu is straightforward. Shopkeeper, bring me two jars of good wine!” the customers said boldly.

Gu Qinglian looked around and estimated that he would have to spend several hundred gold coins!

This loss was all because of Feng Zhi!

“Miss Gu, eat well and drink well.”

Feng Zhi returned to her room with two taels of warm wine in her hand and laughed loudly as she patted the bed.

…

It was night. Behind the inn was a forest. The spiritual energy was abundant and it was most suitable for cultivation.

Feng Zhi breathed slowly and only poured all of her spiritual energy into her qi center. However, no matter what, the spirit core of the god of destruction bloodline was like stagnant water and showed no signs of leveling up.

She was a little impatient. Countless light spots floated around her body and surged into the light ball at the same time.

However, almost in an instant, the light ball dimmed again after it absorbed the spiritual power.

Instead, a voice came out from her mind.

“You little girl, what’s the hurry?”

The demon dragon’s dark and hoarse voice carried some vitality and seemed to have recovered well.

Feng Zhi frowned and asked impatiently, “you made a deal with me for a year. What are you doing now? Just letting you live here?”

“The god of destruction bloodline can only be upgraded by using the Philosopher’s Stone. You have to find it slowly!”

The demon dragon said with a guilty smile.

Feng Zhi was instantly enraged. “Why didn’t you tell me in advance!”

If she had known in advance that there was such a troublesome matter, she would have found another way to cultivate even if she had to use all her strength. She would not have agreed to this evil dragon!

“Oh, did I forget!”

The demon dragon said embarrassedly, and his aura weakened a little.

Heh, tell her in advance?

How could this girl accept it if I had said it earlier!

As the demon dragon said this, he suddenly focused.

“Shh! I can sense that there is a fellow in the forest who is seriously injured!”

“He has something good on him. If you go over and pick it up, you might be able to find a treasure?”

“If he has a noble identity and you saved his life during a crisis, he might be able to help you find the Philosopher’s Stone!”

The demon dragon suggested excitedly.

Feng Zhi chuckled coldly. “How can I trust you?”

“…”

The demon dragon was in the wrong, so it could only shut up.

Feng Zhi sat in front of the window and looked at the forest outside. She narrowed her eyes. “Forget it, let’s go and take a look.”

“If you lie to me again, I’ll definitely beat you to death!” She threatened fiercely.

Feng Zhi changed into her nightclothes and followed the demon dragon’s guidance. She quickly ran into the depths of the forest. From a distance, she could smell the scent of blood.

“Oh, a demon beast with such strong attributes?”

She walked closer and kicked the purple demon beast that stuck out its tongue as she said.

She looked into the distance and saw a tall figure dressed in white leaning against a tree stump. There were two pools of blood on his chest.
