Chapter 73: Surging Spring, A Great Opportunity

“Look at my memory, how could I have forgotten about you, Daosit Su?”After a playful smile, Chen Jinshi slapped his forehead in annoyance.

He looked as if he had really made a big mistake.

But it was only for a moment, and he spread his hands helplessly to Su Jingzhe.

“I’m really sorry, Daoist Su. I’m afraid it’s not possible to awaken the spirit for these children in Peach Blossom Alley.”

His words caused an uproar among the people present.

“I’m saying that there are indeed some talented individuals among these children, but why haven’t they been able to awaken their spirits?”

“It seems there’s some kind of grudge involved.”

“But what kind of grudge could make a newly promoted inner sect disciple of Huayang Sect target them like this?”

“This is really intriguing.”

“I observed the aura of that person, and it’s only at the second level of Qi refinement.”

“Their identities are completely mismatched, which makes this situation quite interesting.”

“……”

Most of the people present were outsiders and didn’t attend the Cuiliu School banquet, so they didn’t know the inside story.

“This guy… is really seeking death.”

Su Jingzhen felt a mix of emotions in his heart.

He had known from the start that this awakening wouldn’t go smoothly.

But he didn’t expect Chen Jinshi to not even give them a chance to try.

He narrowed his eyes, quietly watching Chen Jinshi.

He wanted to see what kind of excuse Chen Jinshi would come up with.

Chen Jinshi apologized again, “The spirit awakening tower of Huayang Sect has been standing here for many years, and the energy of the spirit stones inside is almost depleted.”

“Although it’s not a problem for the awakening process, after so many attempts, the energy of the spirit stones is probably exhausted.”

“We need to give it time to recover slowly.”

As Chen Jinshi spoke, his face was filled with helplessness, as if he was truly helpless.

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing his words.

What nonsense is this? Even the worst spirit stones wouldn’t be depleted by over a hundred people.

But this was their thing, and they had the right to explain.

Chen Jinshi had the right to say whatever he wanted.

Su Jingzhen let out a sigh, and his gaze gradually turned cold.

“Are you sure you want to give me this reason, Daoist Chen?”

At this time, everyone sensed a strong tone in Su Jingzhen’s words.

They couldn’t help but show interest again.

Chen Jinshi raised an eyebrow: “I’ve already made it very clear, didn’t you hear me, Doiast Su?”

“I don’t mind explaining it again. The spirit awakening tower is unusable today, so you can just leave.”

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up again, revealing a mocking smile.

This was his territory, and he was in charge. What could anyone do about it?

Although Su Jingzhen’s identity might not be as simple as it seemed from yesterday’s situation, what did that matter?

Could Su Jingzhen really dare to challenge him here?

If so, with Su Jingzhen’s second-level Qi refinement, Chen Jinshi could “accidentally” kill him, and no one could say anything about it.

So Chen Jinshi was looking forward to Su Jingzhen coming to fight him in a fit of rage.

Su Jingzhen ignored Chen Jinshi’s mocking smile.

He looked at Shuang Jiang, who still had a calm and expressionless face.

Stable!

Shuang Jiang didn’t show any reaction, but it was a sign of support for him.

With a strong backing, Su Jingzhen felt fearless.

He took another step forward: “What if I insist on using this spirit awakening tower today?”

Chen Jinshi’s smile deepened: “If you insist on using it, then you’ll be destroying the foundation of Huayang Sect.”

“As an inner sect disciple of Huayang Sect, Chen Jinshi had a duty to stop him!”

“Are you trying to exchange blows with me, Daoist Su?”

At this time, Chen Jinshi was surprised to discover that Su Jingzhen seemed to have a tendency to fight.

This was great!

Chen Jinshi’s words were laced with a provocative tone, trying to instigate a fight.

“You don’t have much time left, Daoist Su.”

Just then, Luo Yuebai’s voice suddenly echoed in Su Jingzhen’s ear.

It was a subtle, almost imperceptible transmission, and Su Jingzhen instinctively turned to look at Luo Yuebai, whose expression was slightly more serious.

Su Jingzhen let out another sigh.

He knew that Chen Jinshi’s target was him, and no one could take his place.

Today, he couldn’t avoid doing something, and he couldn’t avoid exposing some things.

These children were his responsibility, and Chen Jinshi’s obstruction was because of him.

He wouldn’t let the children miss this opportunity to awaken their spirits.

Fortunately, he was prepared for the consequences of exposure.

Su Jingzhen no longer hesitated and activated his Body Cultivation technique.

【Body Cultivation Technique: Open Secret Chamber!

Flesh Body Level: Mysterious Embryo (Fifth layer)

Next Secret Chamber to Unlock: Surging Spring 0/200】

【Remaining Points: 335】

He didn’t hesitate, spending 200 points to unlock the Surging Spring secret chamber.

In an instant, the information on the technique’s interface changed.

【Body Cultivation Technique: Open Second Secret Chamber!

Flesh Body Level: Mysterious Embryo (Eight layer)

Next Secret Chamber to Unlock: Surging Spring (Right) 0/200】

【Remaining Points: 135】

At the same time, Su Jingzhen felt a sudden surge of heat in the soles of his left foot. Seaʀch* The NôᴠelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was as if the blood and Qi in his body were gathering towards his left foot.

Just like when he opened the Labor Palace acupoint on his right hand, in an instant, the Surging Spring acupoint on his left foot erupted with an overwhelming power.

The power surged through Su Jingzhen’s entire body.

To outsiders, he didn’t seem to have changed at all.

Only he knew the tremendous power coursing through his body.

This was the advantage of a true Body Cultivation practitioner, hiding one’s strength!

Even with Shuang Jiang’s abilities, she wouldn’t be able to detect the changes in Su Jingzhen’s body without directly sensing his energy.

“This effect is even better than I imagined!”

“It directly raised my flesh body level to the eighth layer of Flesh Body Mysterious Embryo!”

Su Jingzhen swallowed hard, his heart racing with excitement.

His Body Cultivation technique was truly exceptional, not inferior to that of a Qi-refining practitioner.

In fact, it was even stronger!

This meant that his physical strength could now reach the level of an eighth-layer Qi-refining practitioner!

All his hard work over the years had paid off, and the 200 points he spent were well worth it!

Another exciting point was that the Surging Spring acupoints on his left and right feet were the same, so the points required to unlock them didn’t double as usual.

He still had 135 points left, and it wouldn’t take long to unlock the remaining acupoints.

If he could unlock all the Surging Spring acupoints on his left and right feet, he estimated that he could directly break through to the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo level.

That would be comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage!

“Calm down, calm down, take it slow, take it slow!”

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, trying to suppress his excitement.

He looked at Chen Jinshi again.

Although Chen Jinshi was a great Qi-refining practitioner, he was still only at the Qi-refining Stage.

“If I can catch him off guard, pretend to be weak, and then launch a surprise attack with my hidden strength, I might just have a chance.”

“In fact, the opportunity is huge!”
