Chapter 107: Luo Yuebai’s Invitation

Feng Qingya was stunned for a moment when she heard Su Jingzhe’s direct words.Her smile widened, “I’ve already prepared them for Master Su.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the sapphire ring in her hand shimmered once again.

Immediately, a pile of medicinal herbs appeared on the table in front of them, completely filling it up.

Su Jingzhen swept his gaze over the herbs and nodded slightly.

These were indeed the items recorded on the prescription for the pill.

There were a total of eighty sets.

Su Jingzhen was extremely pleased; in his view, these eighty sets of herbs were enough for him to refine the Breaking Through Adversity Pill successfully.

He was absolutely confident in advancing to the second rank.

However, he also knew that with just these fifty Qi-replenishing pills, it would be difficult for him to afford all these herbs.

But before he could inquire further, Feng Qingya took the initiative to speak again, “These are just the first batch of herbs.”

“Consider it as supporting Master Su’s advancement. If it’s not enough, just let me know.”

“Although the ingredients for the Breaking Through Adversity Pill are indeed harder to find than those for other second-grade pills, it wouldn’t be difficult for the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to gather a hundred and eighty sets.”

After saying this, she looked at Su Jingzhen with some seriousness. “But Miss Qingya has one request for Master Su.”

“After Master Su successfully advances, please give Miss Qingya ten Breaking Through Adversity Pills.”

“Consider them as payment for the recipe and these herbs.”

As she spoke, Feng Qingya’s eyes were full of anticipation.

Su Jingzhen nodded without any hesitation.

After clarifying these matters, he simply stored all the Breaking Through Adversity Pill herbs into his storage bracelet with a single thought.

Although there was sentiment involved, he and Feng Qingya were ultimately engaged in a transaction.

After establishing an empathetic connection with Feng Qingya, Su Jingzhen naturally understood that their relationship would only deepen in the future.

But at least for now, while his strength was still weak, he didn’t want to be manipulated by Feng Qingya with these material goods.

In such an empathetic relationship, he needed to maintain control.

“Master Su, would you like to see if there’s anything else you need?”

“With the current items, Qingya has already made a profit by exchanging them for ten Breaking Through Adversity Pills.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but smile.

“It’s alright.”

“You’re the pavilion master of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and I’ve been letting you lose out all this time. I feel quite embarrassed about it.”

“The Treasure Gathering Pavilion was established to make a profit, and it wouldn’t be fair if I kept making you lose out, right?”

In Feng Qingya’s eyes, the key was sustainable mutual benefit.

Only with mutual gain could they go further.

Su Jingzhen was extremely clear about this.

【Emotional Connection +2】

【Remaining Available Points: 113】

With this statement, Feng Qingya was once again taken aback.

Then, a row of golden letters appeared before him.

Without waiting for Feng Qingya to say anything else, Su Jingzhen stood up, “Thank you for your generosity, Miss Feng. When the pills are successfully refined in the future, I will come again.”

This time, during their transaction, Feng Qingya did not deliberately use her charm.

Whether she had completely given up or for some other reason, Su Jingzhen felt very comfortable.

Although Feng Qingya still wore minimal clothing, Su Jingzhe could still withstand the charm she exuded naturally even without the Clear Heart Technique.

Moreover, appreciating such a beauty in a normal manner only brought joy to both body and mind.

As Su Jingzhen bid farewell and rose to leave, Feng Qingya simply nodded.

“I look forward to Master Su’s next visit.”

Watching Su Jingzhen descend the stairs, Feng Qingya’s smile slowly faded.

However, her eyes still held endless anticipation.

At this moment, the white-haired Mu Lao appeared not far behind her.

“Miss, should I keep an eye on him?”

Mu Lao looked at the direction Su Jingzhen had left.

Hearing this, Feng Qingya’s expression turned slightly cold. “Is this how the Treasure Gathering Pavilion does business?”

This questioning left Mu Lao speechless.

Then Feng Qingya continued, “There’s no need for any means against Su Jingzhen.”

“I’ve realized that perhaps the best approach is to be sincere with him. Although I’m not sure if the mysterious strongwomen named Shuang Jiang who’s with him is still in Linjiang City. Even if she’s not, there’s no need to restrain him anyway. Let things take their natural course. Any scheming might backfire.”

Feng Qingya was confident about this.

Initially, she had wanted to directly control Su Jingzhen through herself.

But after the last attempt, she still couldn’t bring him under her control.

She was well aware that it wasn’t because her charm was inadequate or her seduction techniques were faulty, but because Su Jingzhen’s inner strength was too formidable.

Such a person could cooperate but could not be manipulated.

At least for now, Feng Qingya couldn’t achieve that, and she also understood that Su Jingzhen could only cooperate with their Treasure Gathering Pavilion for the time being.

And that was enough.

After a pause, Feng Qingya added, “Moreover, regarding Su Jingzhen, I now have even greater expectations of him.”

“If everything goes well, perhaps he will be a turning point for us.”

With this statement, Mu Lao’s expression changed once again.

He never expected that Miss Feng would value Su Jingzhen so highly.

“Alright, Mu Lao, I’ll handle this matter. You don’t need to worry about it.”

“Yes!”

…

Exiting the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Su Jingzhen felt excited again.

This time everything went smoothly; he obtained the required herbs and gained two points.

And he had a faint feeling that Feng Qingya’s attitude towards him seemed to have changed somewhat.

“This woman has become more and more unpredictable.”

Glancing back at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Su Jingzhen sighed again.

Feng Qingya hadn’t actively seduced him throughout this visit, which was good, but he had a vague feeling that her intentions toward him had grown.

With these thoughts, he had already returned to Peach Blossom Alley.

And he had reached the entrance of the academy.

After the incident with the attack by the black-clothed men, Su Jingzhen’s vigilance had increased.

But when he saw the figure in white sitting at the entrance of his academy, all his vigilance relaxed.

“Friend Luo, have you already taken care of the matters at Evil Moon Sect? Why are you back in Peach Blossom Alley?”

Su Jingzhen approached and greeted Luo Yuebai.

Luo Yuebai is the current head of the Evil Moon Sect in Linjiang City.

With him around, naturally no evil spirits would dare to come and cause trouble.

Luo Yuebai shook his folding fan and smiled, “I heard that there have been frequent attacks on cultivators outside the city these days. I’m worried about Friend Su.”

“After all, among those cultivators, there are some formidable ones. Has everything been alright here these days? If not, would you like to stay at Evil Moon Sect for a while with me?”

He didn’t engage in much small talk and directly stated his purpose.
