Chapter 109: Attempting to Advance

After leaving the visible range of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, the speed of Luo Yuebai’s folding fan multiplied countless times.In no time, the two of them directly landed at the entrance of the Evil Moon Sect.

Seeing the new and majestic gate, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel emotional again.

“Friend Su, how do you like the new gate of the Evil Moon Sect? It’s much more grand than the one before the Huayang Sect, isn’t it?” Luo Yuebai asked with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

Su Jingzhen smiled and nodded, “Great gate!”

The affirmation was mixed with a little perfunctoriness.

Luo Yuebai was slightly stunned, then continued to lead Su Jingzhen into the Evil Moon Sect.

The general environment inside was almost the same as when the Huayang Sect was in charge.

But many iconic things have become somewhat dark.

All are in line with the demonic path.

Every time Luo Yuebai personally introduced something to Su Jingzhen, Su Jingzhen would respond with extremely affirmative but extremely casual two words.

For example, good stones, good trees, good flowers…

This made Luo Yuebai somewhat at a loss.

Why am I even telling you?

Soon, according to Su Jingzhen’s request, Luo Yuebai brought him to the depths of the Evil Moon Sect.

A secluded and extremely aura-rich courtyard adjacent to Clear Wind Mountain.

This courtyard was extremely large, several times larger than the Enlightenment School in Peach Blossom Alley where Su Jingzhen was.

Obviously, Luo Yuebai had prepared in advance before picking up Su Jingzhen.

At the gate of this courtyard, there were six women each with their own unique charm.

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s arrival, these six people brightened up and bowed to Su Jingzhen.

But the person standing in the front had a complex expression.

“Your servants, greet Daoist Su!”

The six people spoke in unison, their voices soft and charming, though not as good as Feng Qingya’s.

But they were all considered beautiful women.

However, when Su Jingzhen saw these six people, he was suddenly dumbfounded.

Because the leader was none other than Yan Xia, whom he had met at the gate of his school in the morning.

He never expected to meet again at the Evil Moon Sect.

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s expression, Luo Yuebai smiled again, “Miss Yan Xia and her family came to the Evil Moon Sect this morning.”

“I roughly understood the situation. To be honest, if she insists on being a special physique, but her spiritual roots have not awakened, I have no way to prove it.”

“But seeing their confidence, I decided to leave Miss Yan Xia behind.”

“I was just thinking that you might need a few maidservants.” Seaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Luo Yuebai spoke lightly about Yan Xia’s matter, obviously not taking it too seriously.

But his thought was exactly the same as Su Jingzhe’s. He couldn’t prove it, but he had a faint expectation in his heart.

Keeping Yan Xia for the time being was to give her a chance and also give himself a chance to cultivate a genius.

As for Yan Chixiong and his wife… Luo Yuebai naturally couldn’t keep them.

Luo Yuebai’s promise to keep Yan Xia was already a great favor.

Su Jingzhen smiled bitterly, “I’m used to tranquility, Friend Luo’s move caught me off guard.”

“As you become stronger, you will get used to it.”

He didn’t wait for Su Jingzhe to respond.

Luo Yuebai continued, “I know Friend Su must have many things to do, so I won’t disturb you with this matter for now. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to come find me.”

With that, he directly left with his folding fan, not giving Su Jingzhen a chance to refuse.

“Sir Su, please don’t drive us away. When Master Luo arranged for us to come here, he already said that if you don’t want us, we’ll be sent to Clear Wind Mountain to feed the wild beasts. Master Luo wasn’t joking with us.”

At this moment, apart from Yan Xia, the other five were on the verge of tears, afraid that Su Jingzhen would ask them to leave.

Su Jingzhen could also sense that among these six people, apart from Yan Xia, the rest had all reached the Qi Refining stage.

As Su Jingzhen sighed inwardly, he began to feel a headache.

He didn’t deliberately greet Yan Xia separately.

“Come in first, this courtyard is not small, find a place to stay on your own. You can do whatever you want during normal days, but without my permission, don’t step into my residence. Do you understand?” Su Jingzhen said.

Hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, the other five were overjoyed, while Yan Xia still looked complex.

From initially rejecting Su Jingzhen during their blind date, to later being given to Su Jingzhen for free, and now, she had become his maid.

It seemed impossible to go any further unless she was truly confirmed to have a special physique.

After giving instructions, Su Jingzhen didn’t pay much attention to them.

He walked to the innermost, most secluded courtyard.

Choosing a room at random, he took out the pill furnace from his storage bracelet.

Since this courtyard was specially prepared for him by Luo Yuebai, as long as he entered here, even if it was Luo Yuebai’s territory, he couldn’t casually intrude.

Su Jingzhen was not afraid of being disturbed by anyone.

“It’s time to advance to a second-grade alchemist.”

Talking to himself, Su Jingzhen took out the ingredients for the Breaking Through Adversity Pill, ten portions in total.

In the cultivation world, refining any first-grade pill could make one a first-grade alchemist. Refining any second-grade pill could make one a second-grade alchemist. As long as it succeeded, there was an automatic promotion, no need for anyone to prove it.

Of course, if he wanted to show off, he could show the alchemist token to Feng Qingya and ask her to issue him a new token as a second-grade alchemist. But there was no need for that.

After neatly arranging the ingredients, he followed the usual procedure.

He lit the furnace and then touched each herb with his hands, as if using his spiritual roots talent to sense the principles of these herbs.

Su Jingzhen entered a state almost instantly.

Then, he recalled the method of refining the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

One by one, the herbs were put into the pill furnace.

But it was not as easy as he imagined.

After a while in the furnace, there was a burnt smell.

For the first herb, he didn’t even refine a substandard pill.

However, Su Jingzhen remained calm.

This result seemed within his expectations.

After pondering for a moment, he tried again.

Ten portions of Breaking Through Adversity Pill ingredients were soon depleted by him.

Yet, he only managed to refine one substandard Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

This result made Su Jingzhen somewhat puzzled.

“Is this pill so difficult to refine? No wonder Feng Qingya said that at certain times, this thing could be as valuable as a third or even fourth-grade pill. Or is it that my mysterious wood spiritual roots talent is not enough to support me in refining second-grade pills?”

Su Jingzhen pondered as he failed ten times in a row.

If those alchemists who had failed thousands of times just to advance heard this, they would probably curse him for showing off again.

At this moment, not far from Su Jingzhen’s courtyard,

Luo Yuebai had been watching the direction where Su Jingzhen was.

“He has been locked in the room for a long time, and even from such a distance, I can smell a faint burnt smell. Is Friend Su starting to refine pills?”

Talking to himself, Luo Yuebai became more and more curious.

His whole purpose of bringing Su Jingzhen over was to be closer to him and observe him more closely.
