Chapter 195: Bai Susu

At this moment, beside Feng Qingya stood another woman.She was tall and slender, wearing a white long dress, with an icy aura and an absolutely stunning face, a real cool beauty.

“Ah, you’re back already?”

Seeing Su Jingzhen and the others walking towards Spirit Sound Inn, Feng Qingya revealed a hint of a smile.

“Senior Sister Qingya, we just got back from Mingyue Tower with Master Mu.”

Xuening had become extremely close to Feng Qingya over the past two days.

She walked to Feng Qingya’s side and quietly told her about what had happened at Mingyue Tower.

“Sixteen thousand low-grade spirit stones! You guys really took full advantage of Master Mu.”

Feng Qingya let out a bitter laugh.

She had never spent such an enormous amount on a meal, and she knew that Master Mu, despite being a Nascent Soul elder, had limited opportunities to accumulate resources.

Sixteen thousand low-grade spirit stones was a huge expense, and it would be a significant blow to him.

Feng Qingya couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

After chatting with Su Jingzhen and Xuening for a while, Feng Qingya pointed to the woman beside her and smiled:

“Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my good friend, Bai Susu.”

“Master Su, Xuening, you two should greet Master Bai.”

“In this Alchemy Conference, you’ll need to cooperate well.”

Upon hearing Feng Qingya’s words, Xuening and Su Jingzhen exchanged a glance, both with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Were they going to add another assistant?

Their partnership in alchemy was already quite strong.

With Su Jingzhen’s full cooperation, Xuening was confident in her ability to refine a fourth-grade pill.

Adding another person to the mix wouldn’t be a good thing.

However, before they could ask any questions, Feng Qingya seemed to know what they were thinking.

She continued, “Right now, if I want to use the resources of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to obtain the necessary materials, it’s not possible.”

“However, Sister Susu can provide you with any materials you need.”

“After all, in this Alchemy Conference, except for the specified pill in the third round, the Feng family won’t prepare materials for each participant.”

“Moreover, the Feng family doesn’t know what pill everyone will refine, so they can’t prepare the materials either.”

Upon hearing this, Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s eyes widened, and their brows relaxed.

“Su Jingzhen greets Lady Bai.”

“Xuening greets Lady Bai.”

The two of them bowed to Bai Susu in unison.

A clever woman can’t cook without rice.

Someone who could provide materials was extremely important to an alchemist.

At this moment, Xuening didn’t mention her surname, as in the Qingzhou region, the surname Dantai was synonymous with alchemists, and this identity was too easily suspected.

She didn’t want to disturb her grandfather’s peaceful life.

At the same time, Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with wonder, thinking that Bai Susu’s identity must be extraordinary.

Considering Feng Qingya’s current situation in Yunmeng City, there were few people who dared to stand by her side and help.

After all, even if one wasn’t afraid of the Feng family, the Tuoba family’s young master was enough to make any power in Yunmeng City tremble with fear.

And yet, Bai Susu not only chose to help Feng Qingya but also walked alongside her with an air of confidence.

It was as if she didn’t fear anything.

So, Su Jingzhen’s heart unconsciously added a few points of respect towards Bai Susu.

However, what made him feel annoyed was that when he and Xuening greeted Bai Susu, she only coldly nodded without any intention of speaking.

Indeed, she was a proud and aloof master.

Su Jingzhen and Xuening didn’t take it too seriously, though.

After all, someone with such a noble identity was already showing them face by nodding at them, thanks to Feng Qingya’s influence.

In the cultivation world, social hierarchy was extremely clear-cut, and some people looked down on others, thinking that ants were just ants, and the lower class was just the lower class.

At least until they proved their worth and showed off their skills, these high-and-mighty individuals wouldn’t bother to acknowledge them, which was quite normal.

Although Su Jingzhen understood the logic, he and Xuening couldn’t help but feel a little unhappy at the moment.

After greeting Bai Susu, they didn’t plan to say much more.

They would just tell Feng Qingya what materials they needed, and she could negotiate with Bai Susu.

Seeing Bai Susu’s attitude towards Su Jingzhen and the others, Feng Qingya felt a bit embarrassed.

But she didn’t say much, knowing Bai Susu’s personality was always like this.

She led everyone back to Spirit Sound Inn and directly brought them to her room, temporarily using it as a meeting place.

The few of them sat down on the chairs, and Feng Qingya’s expression gradually turned serious.

“Everyone here is someone I, Feng Qingya, absolutely trust.”

“Tomorrow is the day the Feng family officially starts the Alchemy Conference.”

“So far, I haven’t heard that the Feng family has changed the conference’s process.”

“So, it should still be as I told you before.”

“Before the third round, it’s all free play!”

“You’ll need to refine an outstanding pill on your own!”

As Feng Qingya said this, her expression turned slightly serious.

These rules were extremely free, but that was exactly what made them difficult to control.

If they refined a low-grade pill to hide their true strength, they might be directly eliminated in the first round.

If they refined a high-grade pill, those who wanted to target Feng Qingya might prepare other measures.

Although Feng Qingya had absolute confidence in Xuening, her heart was still filled with tension at this moment.

Xuening and Su Jingzhen exchanged a glance again.

Su Jingzhen then nodded lightly.

In this aspect, there was no need to say anything explicitly; the two of them could reach a tacit understanding.

Xuening directly said, “To be safe, let’s choose the Heart-Calming Pill for the first round! And Rebirth Pill for the second round.”

“Both of these pills are third-grade, and Rebirth Pill is even a top-tier among third-grade pills. It should be enough to get us into the third round. After all, by the third round, the Feng family will only specify a fourth-grade pill.”

Upon hearing Xuening’s words, Feng Qingya nodded, her heart thinking the same way.

Then Feng Qingya said, “Since that’s the case, Xuening, please list out the materials you need.”

Xuening nodded and took the paper and pen handed over by Feng Qingya, beginning to write down the list.

At this time, Su Jingzhen said, “To be safe, we might as well add a Breaking Through Adversity Pill!”

As soon as he said this, Bai Susu, who was sitting idly by, suddenly looked up at him.

Her eyebrows furrowed instantly.

Heart-Calming Pill, Rebirth Pill, and other pills with the same name were numerous, and she didn’t know which specific one it was.

But since Xuening said they were all third-grade pills, it shouldn’t be a problem. Seaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, Breaking Through Adversity Pill was a second-grade pill that she knew of.

At least, she had never heard of any other type of Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

And yet, Su Jingzhen was talking about adding a second-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill as a precaution?

At this time, Bai Susu’s gaze towards Su Jingzhen was strange.

She thought to herself, Is this really the alchemist that Feng Qingya trusts?

How could they be so ignorant?

Her friend was already in a precarious situation, and if they were to entrust their fate to Su Jingzhen, who lacked common sense, wouldn’t it be easy to fall into an inescapable predicament?

When she heard Su Jingzhen’s words, she decided to do something for Feng Qingya’s sake.

However, Bai Susu didn’t realize at this time that these two young-looking alchemists could actually refine a superior-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
