Chapter 150: Back to the Mountain, Mysterious Fog

Slight Fondness!Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with excitement as he saw these four words appear on on Feng Qingya’s sub-board.

He had always thought that he was being sincere towards Feng Qingya.

After spending so many days together, he had finally reached the second level.

He would still have to spend a lot of time with Feng Qingya in the future.

As long as he triggered the bonus points, it would be four points.

The points he could obtain from Feng Qingya would increase by a factor of two.

Reaching the 200-point milestone would be extremely easy.

Su Jingzhen’s gaze towards Feng Qingya became even more passionate and intense.

However, this made Feng Qingya feel even more unnatural.

Before Feng Qingya could speak, Su Jingzhen’s eyes saw another golden message appear.

【Emotional Connection with Feng Qingya reaches: Slight Fondness!

One-time bonus points: 30

Remaining usable points: 149】

Su Jingzhen almost forgot that there was a one-time reward.

This meant he was close to reaching the 200-point milestone again!

“What kind of compensation does Master Su want?”

Feng Qingya asked, seeing Su Jingzhen’s gaze burning with intensity.

This question was somewhat rhetorical.

“What do you think, Miss Feng?”

Su Jingzhen replied, still wearing a faint smile.

Ever since the incident in the room yesterday, Feng Qingya’s expression would become unnatural whenever this topic was brought up.

She was secretly afraid of Su Jingzhen.

However, Feng Qingya also had to admit that she had grown more appreciative of Su Jingzhen.

She thought to herself, if Su Jingzhen could really help her achieve her heart’s desire, maybe some things weren’t impossible after all.

Feng Qingya then said, “I’m no longer the master of the Lingjiang Branch.”

“If Master Su needs resources, I may not be able to provide them.”

“But I promise that if Master Su can help me complete that task, you can have everything you want.”

As Feng Qingya spoke, her face still wore that enchanting smile.

Her words seemed to have additional implications, and “getting what one wants” might not be limited to just resources.

Su Jingzhen smiled and nodded, choosing not to expose Feng Qingya’s awkwardness.

Compared to other things, Su Jingzhen still preferred tangible points.

Now that he had reached the Slight Fondness level, he had gotten what he wanted.

Su Jingzhen nodded: “As for Miss Feng, I’ve always been full of confidence in you.”

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chosen to walk this path with you.” Seaʀch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

【Emotional Connection +4】

【Remaining usable points: 153】

Before the words had even fallen, Feng Qingya’s points increased by four again.

“With Master Su’s words, I can finally put my mind at ease,” Feng Qingya said.

After chatting with Su Jingzhen for a bit, Feng Qingya didn’t linger in the courtyard.

She didn’t know about the emotional connection, but Su Jingzhen’s gaze towards her was still burning with intensity.

She was afraid that Su Jingzhen might lose control soon.

“Feng Qingya has already reached the second level; I wonder when Luo Yuebai will reach this level.”

“If Luo Yuebai also reaches the second level, and I spend all day with the two of them… those points…”

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, licking his lips.

Feng Qingya’s promotion to the second level had sparked endless anticipation in Su Jingzhen’s heart.

He even wanted to take the initiative to find Luo Yuebai and raise her level as quickly as possible.

However, after thinking about it, he gave up.

Luo Yuebai was the master of the Evil Moon Sect’s Lingjiang branch, which had only recently been established.

It wasn’t very stable, and she had many things to attend to.

“Never mind, there will be opportunities in the future,” Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.

He returned to his room, not practicing alchemy or cultivating his body, but simply sitting quietly and entering a meditative state.

Although his Dantian was broken, he still had a second-stage cultivation base.

However, if he didn’t constantly absorb spiritual energy into his Dantian to nourish it, his pitiful second-stage cultivation base might dissipate even faster.

He didn’t know if this method was correct or not, but at least it was a psychological comfort.

Time passed quickly, and another day went by.

Su Jingzhen maintained this cultivation state until the next morning.

He stretched lazily, although his cultivation was still useless, but the daily fixed points were still the source of his good mood.

【Days until the host’s Dantian is shattered: 485!】

【Daily fixed points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 4, Luo Yuebai: 2】

【Remaining usable points: 178】

“Even if I can’t trigger emotional connection points with them today, I can still open the Labor Palace acupoint with tomorrow’s fixed points.”

Su Jingzhen was excited again, and he immediately pushed open the door and went out early in the morning.

He didn’t disturb anyone and directly headed up the mountain.

He had two things to do today.

First, he would convert all the remaining Breaking Through Adversity Pill materials into finished pills.

After all, in a few days, he might be leaving with Feng Qingya.

Having some valuable items on hand was always good, no matter where he went.

The second goal was to catch a high-level demonic beast and bring it back.

On the other hand, he also wanted to test whether the black brick in his hand really had the function of calming demonic beasts’ core energy.

He easily climbed up the mountain, but this time, Su Jingzhen didn’t head straight to the valley.

Instead, he wandered around the dense forest surrounding the valley.

The demonic beasts on Clear Wind Mountain weren’t particularly strong overall.

With his current Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo fourth-stage strength, he wouldn’t encounter any problems.

Before long, Su Jingzhen entered a dense forest he had never been to before.

As he arrived, he suddenly felt a sense of vigilance rising in his heart.

This forest was extremely deep, and it was difficult to see any light, but it was eerily quiet.

On Earth, large wild beasts had territorial awareness.

In this cultivation world, demonic beasts were even more so.

He knew that if there was a powerful demonic beast nearby, it wouldn’t allow other demonic beasts to enter its territory.

So, although this forest seemed unusual, Su Jingzhen’s heart was excited.

He knew he was about to strike gold.

The black brick was already in his hand.

“Snap, snap…”

Su Jingzhen stepped on the thick pile of fallen leaves in the forest, and the withered branches and leaves beneath his feet emitted a crisp sound.

As he continued to venture deeper into the dense forest,

He gradually sensed that something eerie and unusual was emerging in the woods.

As he became aware of this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He saw that the surrounding dense forest was enveloped by a faint pink mist that was surging towards him.

This mist was extremely eerie and otherworldly.

Without any hesitation, he directly took out a Breaking Through Adversity Pill and popped it into his mouth.
