Chapter 184: Setting Off Again

When Su Jingzhen saw the golden words appear, he couldn’t help but feel a bit stunned.He never thought that he had triggered an emotional connection with Xuening after only working together for two days.

However, during these two days, Xuening had been gentle and courteous, with a warm and soothing demeanor.

Su Jingzhen felt extremely comfortable around her, and it seemed only natural that they had developed a resonance.

But this was a good thing for Su Jingzhen. At least from now on, he will have an additional source of fixed points every day.

Moreover, he would be working with Xuening for a long time, and during this process, he would likely be able to obtain many points from her.

What surprised Su Jingzhen, however, was that Xuening, who seemed so gentle and refined, had actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage in her cultivation.

After all, the cultivation bonus he got from her was already double.

He sighed in his heart, a camel that was about to die was still bigger than a horse.

The Dantai clan had fallen to a rather miserable state, but their foundation was still solid.

Having been trained by Dantai Mingjing from a young age, neither Xuening nor Little Ling would be weak in their starting points or future achievements.

“What’s wrong, Master Su?” Xuening asked, noticing Su Jingzhen’s stunned expression.

Su Jingzhen shook his head. “Nothing, it’s getting late. Let’s rest for now. We’ll set off tomorrow.”

Xuening nodded, still looking a bit puzzled.

Su Jingzhen returned to his room and fell asleep quickly, just like the previous day.

The next morning, the fixed points arrived as usual.

【Time left until the host’s Dantian shatters: 479 days!】

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

【Remaining usable points: 186】

The daily resonance points now included Xuening.

In three days, he would finally break through the 200-point mark.

However, to open the Tanzhong Acupoint, he needed 300 points, so he still had a way to go.

Just like the previous two days, Su Jingzhen got up and practiced Python Scales Power in the courtyard, adjusting his body to its optimal state.

At this time, Feng Qingya came over, and her expression was a little solemn.

“Master Su, your collaboration with Xuening has been very smooth these past two days.”

“Today is our third day in Tianning City, and it’s time for us to set off. We still need a day to prepare in Yunmeng City before the Alchemy Master Conference officially begins tomorrow.”

“So even if Master Su wants to discuss and practice with Xue Ning again, you can only do it after arriving in Yunmeng City.”

As Feng Qingya spoke, Xuening and Dantai Mingjing also walked over.

Dantai Mingjing smiled. “Time is indeed pressing, but the results of the past two days have been very remarkable.”

“I’m sure we’ll be fine participating in the Alchemy Master Conference. It’s just a pity that these two days of continuous pill refinement haven’t allowed them to sense the existence of the Dan Heart.”

As Dantai Mingjing spoke, his tone seemed to carry a hint of regret.

Feng Qingya, however, smiled and said, “It’s just that you’re expecting too much from them. Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s performance has already been remarkable.”

“In Qingzhou and the entire cultivation world, how many alchemists can sense the Dan Heart and condense it? Since they have this talent, it’s only a matter of time before they succeed.”

Feng Qingya wasn’t just flattering them; she genuinely believed this.

After two days of cooperation, Su Jingzhen and Xuening had gained some confidence, but as they prepared to set off, they couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.

At this time, Dantai Mingjing said, “We can’t delay any further. The journey to Yunmeng City is long and arduous. Don’t waste any more time; prepare yourselves and set off directly. This matter can’t be delayed.”

As soon as Dantai Mingjing spoke, Feng Qingya’s expression changed.

“Master… you’re not coming with us?”

In Feng Qingya’s eyes, Dantai Mingjing should be accompanying them.

After all, even after the Alchemy Master Conference, they didn’t know what changes might occur.

If Su Jingzhen and Xuening had any questions or difficulties with alchemy, they could ask for guidance in a timely manner.

If Dantai Mingjing didn’t accompany them, it would be a significant loss of confidence.

When Feng Qingya heard this, Dantai Mingjing smiled again. “In Yunmeng City, I have too many acquaintances. In my current state, I don’t want to meet them.”

“If I go with you, I’ll definitely be recognized, and it would bring trouble to Miss Feng. Besides, I have complete faith in Friend Su and Xuening. Even if I’m not there, they shouldn’t have any problems.”

He paused, then pointed to the wooden hut not far away. “Little Ling ate too much White Tiger meat yesterday and still hasn’t fully digested its energy. If I leave with you, what about her?”

When Feng Qingya heard Dantai Mingjing’s explanation, a hint of regret flashed across her eyes. But since Dantai Mingjing had already spoken, she couldn’t insist further.

“Very well, Master Dantai, wait for our good news here.”

Feng Qingya bowed to him again.

The next moment, a loud whooshing sound echoed through the courtyard.

Mu Lao, with his white hair, arrived on his sword.

It was clear that he was the one who had brought the White Tiger yesterday. Seaʀᴄh the Novelƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As soon as Mu Lao appeared, he looked at Dantai Mingjing with a serious expression and bowed to him.

“Greetings, Master Dantai!”

Su Jingzhen was shocked by this sudden development.

However, Dantai Mingjing smiled wistfully and waved his hand. “I’m no longer worthy of the title ‘Master.’ It’s just that I haven’t seen Daoist Mu in a long time. I never thought that after your cultivation improved, you would still be following Miss Feng. If the old master knew, he would be relieved.”

The two old men looked at each other, filled with emotion.

However, they didn’t linger for too long, as they had to set off.

Xuening walked up to Dantai Mingjing. “Grandpa, I’m leaving.”

Although Xuening often goes out, she never leaves too far.

This time, it was her first time going on a long journey.

Dantai Mingjing stretched out his arm and gently stroked Xuening’s hair.

He smiled warmly and said, “A young eagle will eventually fly high, and a big girl like you can’t stay by my side forever. Go, child, believe in yourself.”

The small courtyard was filled with a sense of separation.

It was as if Xuening was leaving and would never come back.

Before long, the group finally set off.

Dantai Mingjing stood alone, leaning on his cane, watching them leave.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew, and his gray-white hair fluttered in the wind, making him look even more lonely.

The morning sun shone on him, but instead of bringing him energy, it made him look even more desolate.

A hero in decline, that’s all there was to it.
