Chapter 146: Visit from Feng Mingyan

“I… f*ck!” Su Jingzhen had always considered himself to be a fairly humble and restrained person.

But the pain he was experiencing now made him unable to help but curse.

Before this, he thought he had gotten used to pain.

The pain of swallowing body tempering fluid seemed to him to be the pinnacle.

However, the aftermath of Bloodthirst at this moment was even worse than swallowing body tempering fluid.

The sensation throughout his body felt like being burned by fire and then gnawed by ants.

He suddenly realized that there was no such thing as gaining power for free in this world.

The price to temporarily double his various attributes was truly something not everyone could bear.

“Calm as still water, tranquil as the wind, unruffled as the waves…”

At this moment of intense pain, Su Jingzhen unconsciously recited the Clear Mind Technique.

This technique not only allowed him to display unparalleled composure in the face of Feng Qingya’s temptation but now he was willing to call it the “pain transfer technique”!

After calming his mood, the pain seemed to diminish slightly.

After about half an hour, the aftermath of using Bloodthirst gradually subsided. It was only then that he realized his clothes were soaked with sweat.

“Phew…”

Su Jingzhen let out a sigh, lying flat on the floor without caring about his image, feeling as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

“As the Master said, I really can’t use this thing unless it’s a critical moment!” Seaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself softly.

If he used Bloodthirst in a battle without any friendly allies nearby or without defeating the enemy, he would be almost waiting to die for the next half hour.

In this light, while Bloodthirst could indeed save his life in critical moments, the conditions were quite harsh.

After lying on the floor for an incense stick’s worth of time, Su Jingzhen got up again. He felt a lingering sensation of heat throughout his meridians.

After walking around his room practicing Python Scales Power, his blood qi gradually became smoother.

Overall, having gained a big backer today and acquiring the Bloodthirst technique, Su Jingzhen’s mood was extremely cheerful.

Pushing open the door, Su Jingzhen glanced back at Clear Wind Mountain.

His gaze was slightly longing.

This time, it wasn’t because he wanted to cultivate or refine pills in that strange place.

It was purely because he was craving wild game again and wanted to hunt for some.

After eating black wind leopard meat for two meals, it was almost gone. Also, after some time, Su Jingzhen didn’t really want to eat it again as it wasn’t fresh anymore.

“Today, I must hunt down another monster beast and hopefully encounter a second-level one. Let me practice my skills thoroughly!”

As he muttered to himself, Su Jingzhen felt his mouth watering uncontrollably.

“I wonder what the taste of a second-level monster beast will be like.”

However, as he just stepped out of his courtyard…

But there was a black-robed demonic cultivator swiftly approaching him.

At a glance, he recognized him as Mo Bei, the Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator who had invited him on the square that day!

“Mo Bei pays respects to the Grand Acolyte!”

Despite being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Mo Bei still bowed respectfully to Su Jingzhen.

“Attendant Mo, what brings you here?”

Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow.

He knew that unless it was something special, a demonic cultivator like Mo Bei wouldn’t come to find him.

Mo Bei nodded. “The Sect Master has instructed me to summon the Grand Acolyte to the Grand Hall for a meeting.”

Su Jingzhen was slightly surprised. If it were a routine matter, Luo Yuebai would probably come to him personally.

Making Mo Bei come to inform him, and in such a formal manner, could it be that something big had happened?

Su Jingzhen instinctively asked, “Is there something important?”

Mo Bei shook his head. “I was only ordered to inform the Grand Acolyte. I don’t know the specifics.”

Su Jingzhen nodded again and followed Mo Bei to the Evil Moon Sect’s Grand Hall.

The Grand Hall was located in the center of the Evil Moon Sect, looking quite majestic. It was where the sect’s high-level meetings were held during important matters or when receiving important guests.

As Su Jingzhen arrived, he saw many guards of the Evil Moon Sect standing at the entrance of the hall, creating a quite formal atmosphere.

“Pay respects to the Grand Acolyte!”

“Pay respects to the Grand Acolyte!”

As Su Jingzhen passed through the crowd, all the disciples of the Evil Moon Sect respectfully bowed to him.

Su Jingzhen nodded silently and then walked directly into the Grand Hall.

Inside, there were quite a few people gathered, but about half of them were unfamiliar faces.

Sitting at the head of the table was Luo Yuebai, dressed in black robes, looking noble yet with a hint of charm.

Next to her was an empty seat, obviously reserved for Su Jingzhen himself.

Under the gaze of everyone in the hall, he calmly walked over and took his seat.

“You’re a bit late, Grand Acolyte,”

Luo Yuebai said with a slight smile after Su Jingzhen sat down.

Without waiting for his inquiry, Luo Yuebai pointed to the group of unfamiliar faces sitting on one side of the hall.

“Allow me to introduce to the Grand Acolyte, these fellow cultivators are from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”

With just this sentence, Su Jingzhen understood.

Luo Yuebai then pointed to the young man in green robes sitting on the left side.

“This is the newly appointed Pavilion Master of the Linjiang Branch of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Fellow Daoist Feng Mingyan!”

Su Jingzhen arrived late, and now Luo Yuebai was personally introducing these newcomers from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to him.

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen gave a slight smile to Feng Mingyan and clasped his fists in greeting.

“I’ve heard that the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch has appointed a young Chief Acolyte with Body Cultivation.”

“Previously, I was curious, but now seeing the demeanor of Acolyte Su, I understand why Sect Master Luo made such a decision,”

Feng Mingyan said with a smile, speaking in a flattering tone.

It seemed like these people were skilled at speaking to please others.

Feng Mingyan and others naturally didn’t know much about Su Jingzhe.

They just heard a bit about Su Jingzhen and immediately started praising him.

“You flatter me,”

Su Jingzhen replied with a smile.

But he didn’t want to have too much interaction with Feng Mingyan.

After all, he had already made a deal with Feng Qingya, and in a few days, he might be in opposition to these people.

Moreover, he had often visited the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in the past few days, indicating frequent dealings with Feng Qingya.

Feng Mingyan, as the new Pavilion Master, wouldn’t be ignorant of these facts.

So, Feng Mingyan’s flattery at their first meeting probably had ulterior motives.

As soon as Su Jingzhen’s words fell, Feng Mingyan smiled at him again.

“In today’s cultivation world, Body Cultivation practitioners are rare.”

“I’ve heard that Acolyte Su is outstanding in this field. Coincidentally, I have a Body Cultivation disciple by my side. After hearing about Acolyte Su’s achievements, he is eager to learn from you. Would Su Acolyte be willing to teach a few moves to my incompetent servant?”
