Chapter 182: Taking Matters into Her Own Hands

After Dantai Mingjing left, Su Jingzhen and Xuening exchanged a glance, and the two of them no longer hesitated.They re-entered the alchemy state and began processing the third batch of medicinal materials.

Although they were only refining, they were meticulous in their work.

Feng Qingya stood silently by the side, watching as they refined the medicinal materials. She had already seen the process twice, but she still couldn’t take her eyes off them.

Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s movements became increasingly skilled, and Feng Qingya felt that she was getting closer to reclaiming what belonged to her.

During the refining process, Su Jingzhen and Xuening didn’t encounter any problems, but when it came to fusing the pill, they still experienced failures.

After all, this was a third-grade pill, and the furnace they used was the most ordinary one.

As they continued to refine the medicinal materials, Xuening intentionally let Su Jingzhen take charge of an increasing number of samples.

Although they experienced successes and failures, the tacit understanding between the two of them continued to grow.

Every time they refined an pill, regardless of whether it was a success or failure, they would discuss it for a long time.

【Remaining usable points: 124】

During this process, Feng Qingya also triggered another two points.

This was an unexpected delight.

When they had used up five batches of medicinal materials, Feng Qingya smiled faintly and chose not to continue staying in the wooden hut.

She knew she couldn’t help with anything.

Su Jingzhen and Xuening were so focused when they entered their alchemy state that they wouldn’t even notice her presence.

As she walked out of the wooden hut, Feng Qingya suddenly realized that it was already dusk.

“When you’re busy, time really flies by quickly.”

“I just don’t know if they’ll be able to sense the existence of the Dan Heart after using up all the Heart-Calming Pill’s medicinal materials.”

“But it doesn’t matter; looking at their tacit understanding, this alchemy competition should be a sure win.”

As she muttered to herself, Feng Qingya’s eyes shone with a different kind of light.

The corners of her eyes were slightly moist.

Her heart was filled with hatred and resentment, intertwined with complex emotions.

“What if they cut off all my resources? What if they prohibit me from contacting any second-grade or higher alchemists from the Feng family?”

“They can’t control my own registered alchemist, right?”

“As long as the heavens don’t abandon me, my fate will ultimately be in my own hands!”

Feng Qingya looked up at the hazy sky, as if she was encouraging herself.

As she finished speaking, two lines of clear tears finally rolled down her exquisite and gentle face.

The once-renowned Dantai Mingjing was hiding in the poor alleys of Tianning City. Perhaps Feng Qingya was the only one who knew about it in the whole of Qingzhou.

This was also one of the greatest legacies her father had left her. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At least now, no one would recognize Dantai Mingjing even if he walked on the street.

The low-ranking cultivators living in the same alley as them in Tianning City only knew that the Dantai family had some medical skills.

Many people who couldn’t afford to seek treatment at the Spiritual Medicine Sect would go to Xuening for help with their injuries.

Over the years, no one had ever suspected their true identities.

Feng Qingya also knew that this time, she had asked Dantai Mingjing to come out of seclusion, and perhaps would be recognized at the Alchemy Competition.

But that didn’t matter; as long as she got what she wanted, she would have the ability to protect the Dantai family.

…

Meanwhile, in the dilapidated wooden hut in Tianning City, Su Jingzhen and Xuening continued to study and explore.

In the distant Linjiang City, Luo Yuebai had just finished her cultivation and hurriedly ran from her residence to the deepest part of the Evil Moon Sect.

“Third Grandfather, are you there?”

At this time, Luo Yuebai’s expression was slightly tense.

As she asked, she had already directly entered Shen Yifeng’s second-floor chamber.

Shen Yifeng was startled out of his cultivation state, looking at her with a slightly furrowed brow.

“What’s wrong, girl? Why are you in such a hurry?”

As he spoke, Shen Yifeng’s aura gradually became more intense.

With him guarding this place, how could Linjiang City have any major problems?

“Third Grandfather, you have to see this pill!”

Luo Yuebai’s expression was grave as she handed Shen Yifeng the pill that Su Jingzhen had previously given her.

She continued, “Just now, I was meditating in my room and had a sudden insight, as if I had touched the threshold of a breakthrough.”

“I then took one of the Breaking Through Adversity Pills that Su Jingzhen had given me.”

“But the effect of this second-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill was not like a second-grade pill at all; it was more like a third-grade or even fourth-grade pill!”

“In that instant, I felt my heart calm down to the extreme, and my focus was concentrated to the extreme.”

“This shouldn’t be the effect the Breaking Through Adversity Pill should have.”

“Under its cooperation, I directly broke through successfully!”

Shen Yifeng had just received the pill and hadn’t had time to examine it, but he had already heard Luo Yuebai’s words.

His body suddenly shook, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

“Girl, what did you say? You broke through!”

“Did you successfully form your Golden Core?”

Luo Yuebai nodded subconsciously.

To be honest, she was still a bit dazed by this event.

Of course, the pill was only a guide, and her own cultivation had already reached that level.

But without this incredible effect, she would have needed more time to reach this step.

Her aura suddenly expanded, and it was no longer at the Foundation Establishment level.

It was… Golden Core!

“Good, good, good!”

“Girl, your performance exceeds our old guys’ expectations!”

Shen Yifeng exclaimed three times, his face filled with excitement.

He finally noticed the pill in his hand.

He wanted to see what kind of quality this pill had.

Luo Yuebai might not have the ability to appraise pills, but Shen Yifeng, as a Nascent Soul old monster, was an expert in this area.

When he poured out one of the pills, his face suddenly changed.

“This… this is a superior-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill!”

“All nine of them are!”

Shen Yifeng swallowed hard, his expression filled with shock.

He, of course, knew what super-grade pills represented.

Even high-level alchemists would find it extremely difficult to refine a single superior-grade pill, let alone an entire bottle!

This was unimaginable.

“Girl, you said this bottle of pills was given to you by Su Jingzhen?”

“Did he refine it?”

When Shen Yifeng said the words “superior-grade”, Luo Yuebai’s heart was already extremely shocked.

She couldn’t recognize the specific quality of these pills, but she had heard of superior-grade pills.

She naturally knew the value of such pills.

Luo Yuebai nodded subconsciously: “Su Jingzhen said it was refined casually by him.”

As soon as she spoke, Shen Yifeng was shocked again.

“Girl, you should… “

He didn’t finish his sentence, instead saying: “Girl, since you’ve already successfully formed your Golden Core, it shouldn’t be a big problem to guard Linjiang City.”

“Grandfather will personally go and see if Treasure Gathering Pavilion had discovered that kid’s true talent.”

“If they try to do something shameful, I will deal with it!”
