Chapter 106: A Clear Path

“Wait a moment…”As Su Jingzhen spoke, Yan Xia and her family immediately halted their steps.

A hint of surprise involuntarily appeared on their faces.

Their departure just now wasn’t to fish for Su Jingzhen’s favor.

It was because Su Jingzhen’s attitude had made them feel hopeless.

They never expected Su Jingzhen to have any change of heart.

They turned around, their gazes carrying a hint of expectation as they looked at Su Jingzhen.

After pondering for a moment, Su Jingzhen spoke again, “I still don’t know whether your special constitution is genuine, as my current cultivation level doesn’t allow me to confirm it myself.”

Hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Yan Xia and her family looked slightly nervous again.

It seemed there was still some uncertainty in his tone.

“Daoist Su… you…”

Yan Chixiong instinctively spoke, as if wanting to say something but not knowing what to say at this moment.

Su Jingzhen continued, “In that case, you should go to the Huayang Sect, or rather, the Evil Moon Sect.”

“Find Luo Yuebai and tell him that I sent you. Settle down in the Evil Moon Sect for now.”

“After some time, I will also come to see you. With the power of the Evil Moon Sect, proving Miss Yan Xia’s constitution should not be a problem, right?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Chixiong and his family were momentarily stunned.

Then, joy appeared on their faces.

Although Su Jingzhen’s strength was already considerable, they knew that he was only at the Qi Refining stage.

If they could be introduced to the Evil Moon Sect by him, it would be an even better choice.

Initially, they had only hoped to make Su Jingzhen believe them and then ask him to seek help from the powerful figures around him.

Having Su Jingzhen take Yan Xia as a concubine was undoubtedly the most direct approach.

They had never thought that Su Jingzhen’s own abilities could help them in any way.

After the initial surprise, Yan Chixiong’s brows furrowed slightly with worry.

After all, the Evil Moon Sect was a demonic sect.

They subconsciously harbored some fear towards cultivators of the demonic path.

Seeming to sense their concern, Su Jingzhen added, “There’s no need to worry. The distinction between the demonic path and the orthodox path is just a label.”

“As long as you mention my name, there won’t be any problems.”

Su Jingzhen believed he still had some face in front of Luo Yuebai.

“I’ve pointed out the path for you. Whether you choose to go or not is up to you.”

With that said, Su Jingzhen didn’t linger any longer and turned to leave.

He couldn’t confirm whether Yan Xia had a special constitution right now.

Even if he could confirm it, he wouldn’t be able to help her alone.

After all, his resources were still limited.

And most importantly, he only knew about special constitutions from hearsay.

There was no need for him to take on all responsibilities.

As for the “Golden Finger,” he hadn’t even figured it out himself yet, so it wouldn’t be of any use to Yan Xia either.

Considering his current status in Linjiang City, it was too simple for him to point Yan Xia in the right direction.

Whether it was the Evil Moon Sect or the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, they could easily reach this point.

Once confirmed, they would have a way to help Yan Xia. At that time, both Yan Xia and the Evil Moon Sect would owe him a favor.

He had heard that although most cultivators of the demonic path were cruel and bloodthirsty, they were also very loyal in certain situations.

And the reason for not choosing the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was also quite simple; the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was a merchant force, solely focused on profit.

Even though he had an empathetic connection with Feng Qingya, and even though he harbored some resentment towards Luo Yuebai, Su Jingzhen found that Luo Yuebai would make him feel more at ease.

This was just Su Jingzhen’s gut feeling, but cultivators’ intuitions were often accurate.

Even if Yan Xia ultimately proved not to have a special constitution, it wouldn’t be any loss to him.

Overall, for him as he was now, everything was just a matter of lifting his hand.

As Su Jingzhen’s figure disappeared into the distance, Yan Xia and her family stood rooted to the spot once again.

It seemed they still couldn’t believe that all of this was real.

“Father, what do we… what should we do now?” Yan Xia’s voice trembled slightly with a mix of excitement and uncertainty.

After pondering for a moment, Yan Chixiong’s eyes showed determination. “Let’s go to the Evil Moon Sect!”

“In any case, this should be our last chance.”

“The world is becoming increasingly chaotic, and we have fewer and fewer opportunities to interact with high-level figures.”

“If this doesn’t work out, perhaps we’ll have to resign ourselves to our fate.”

As he spoke, Yan Chixiong seemed a bit like a mad gambler.

…

As for what Yan Xia and her family were thinking, Su Jingzhen didn’t care at this point.

He didn’t even care whether they chose to go to the Evil Moon Sect or not.

At this moment, he had already left Peach Blossom Alley and once again donned his black cloak, heading straight for the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

By the time Su Jingzhen arrived at the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Yan Xia and her family had already reached the end of the main street of Linjiang City.

The original gate of the Huayang Sect had disappeared, replaced by the grand but eerie gate of the Evil Moon Sect.

Two pillars, ten zhang high, stood on either side of the gate, guarding a massive plaque.

On it were the three characters “Evil Moon Sect.”

Just the sight of the gate was enough to make ordinary people shudder.

However, at this moment, Yan Xia and her family had not yet approached the gate.

From inside, a figure in white clothes, holding a folding fan, walked out.

If it wasn’t Luo Yuebai, then who?

Upon seeing his figure, Yan Chixiong’s expression suddenly became excited, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

“Luo… Lord Luo…”

On the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

It was still the familiar private room.

Every day, it seemed like Feng Qingya had nothing else to do, as he was always able to find her when he arrived.

At this moment, she still had a charming smile on her face as she sorted through the two bottles of Qi-replenishing pills Su Jingzhen had handed over.

【Emotional Connection +2】

【Available Points: 111】

After she finished counting, she was once again shocked.

Fifty sets of medicinal herbs had truly been refined into fifty Qi-replenishing pills.

And it was still a one hundred percent success rate!

Although she had already known about this, knowing was one thing, and seeing it with her own eyes was another.

However, Su Jingzhen wasn’t surprised at all by these two points.

Feng Qingya smiled and said, “Fifty Qi-replenishing pills in total. I’ll consider it as five hundred low-grade spirit stones for Master Su. What do you think?”

Su Jingzhen nodded. Feng Qingya’s pricing had never disappointed him.

He looked at Feng Qingya and said directly, “With these five hundred low-grade spirit stones, Miss Feng, please prepare some medicinal herbs for the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.”

“However many Breaking Through Adversity Pill medicinal herbs you have here, just give them all to me, and I’ll pay with spirit stones. If there aren’t enough spirit stones, I’ll still owe you.”

To casually talk about owing money in front of the pavilion master of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion showed just how nonchalant Su Jingzhen was at the moment.

It seemed that currently, in Linjiang City, he was the only one who could do so.
