Chapter 290: Returning to Linjiang City
From Zhao Tianming’s perspective, their Spiritual Medicine Sect had over two hundred people. Moreover, most alchemists preferred to have their own private studios, even if they were under someone’s control, but this habit was hard to change.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen laughed again, “The Linjiang branch is backed by Clear Wind Mountain.
Even if you are far away in Tianning City, you should know how big Clear Wind Mountain is.
The entire Clear Wind Mountain behind our Linjiang branch can be used as the site for the Spiritual Medicine Sect, and there are plenty of medicinal herbs on Clear Wind Mountain that the disciples of the Spiritual Medicine Sect can gather or cultivate.”
As Su Jingzhen spoke, he was even thinking that if possible, he could unlock the secrets of that strange land, obtain the kind of fortune spoken of by Shuang Jiang, and perhaps even open up a special road from the Linjiang branch to that valley.
He could turn that strange land into a secret cultivation site for the alchemists of the Spiritual Medicine Sect.
After all, once he unlocked the secrets of that place, Su Jingzhen knew he wouldn’t be able to stay in Linjiang City, a desolate and remote place, for long.
Of course, whether a place was desolate or not mainly depended on the strength of the forces present in that area.If the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang branch could develop and grow to a certain scale in Linjiang City, then Linjiang City would naturally become a gathering place for cultivators, just like Yunmeng City.
And now, after merging with the Spiritual Medicine Sect, Linjiang City already had this potential.
At this time, Zhao Tianming spoke up again, “In that case, I have confidence that I can bring all of the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s belongings to Linjiang City within a month!”
Zhao Tianming had made his stance clear, and Su Jingzhen believed he could do it. After all, they now had a contract seal between them, and Su Jingzhen could take Zhao Tianming’s life with just a thought.
Su Jingzhen’s gaze then turned to Lin Xiong, who was still unable to move. When he looked at Lin Xiong, Su Jingzhen’s gaze carried a hint of teasing.
“The Spiritual Medicine Sect can bring me a large number of alchemists, but what about you, Lin Xiong? What can you bring me? Won’t it just be these few hundred pounds of fat? We don’t eat human flesh, after all.”
As Su Jingzhen spoke, his mouth curved into a teasing smile, making him look like a smiling devil.
Lin Xiong’s fat body couldn’t help but tremble. But at this time, he didn’t want to die either.
He hastily opened his mouth and said, “Master, I have controlled the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Tianning City for many years and have some connections within the entire Treasure Gathering Pavilion system.
I can become a chess piece for the Evil Moon Sect within the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion has immense power, and in the future, I can provide many hidden benefits to the Evil Moon Sect.”
At this time, Lin Xiong was fighting for his life. And what he said did indeed move Su Jingzhen.
Although he had a good relationship with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Yunmeng City, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion wasn’t solely controlled by the Feng family.
There were other powerful families like the Tuoba family, and if Lin Xiong really had connections within the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, it might have some unexpected effects.
“You’ve proven your value, very good. I don’t need anything from you right now, and the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Tianning City can continue to operate as usual.
You’re a smart person, and I think you know what to do without me having to teach you step by step.”
“Thank you, Master, for sparing my life!”
After hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Lin Xiong finally let out a sigh of relief. His role was clearly not as important as the Spiritual Medicine Sect, and his position was not irreplaceable.
Su Jingzhen was willing to continue using him, which meant he had managed to save his life.
At this time, Xuening, who had been silent beside Su Jingzhen, was staring at him with big, shining eyes.
There was a deep sense of admiration in her eyes.
【Emotional Connection+6】
【Emotional Connection+6】
【Remaining usable points: 505】
At this time, a line of golden text appeared in front of Su Jingzhen again.
Xuening had scored another double hit, and his remaining usable points had suddenly broken through 500.
He could now open the Stone Gate Acupoint. He felt a sudden surge of joy. But he didn’t immediately choose to use the points, and his face remained expressionless.
After Lin Xiong had made his stance clear, Su Jingzhen’s gaze turned to Shen Yifeng beside him: “Master, is that enough?”
Shen Yifeng nodded: “You’re quite talented, kid. You’re simply born to be a demonic cultivator.”
Su Jingzhen’s previous performance had left Shen Yifeng unable to find any flaws. He even felt a sense of admiration.
He had previously told Luo Yuebai that Su Jingzhen was born to be a demonic cultivator. That inference now seemed even more correct in his eyes.
Under Zhao Tianming’s lead, Su Jingzhen and the other two people left the grand hall without any flaws.
The Golden Core cultivators guarding outside still thought that Su Jingzhen and the others had already been bound by a contract with their sect master.
…
Back on the small square paved with green stones, Su Jingzhen and the other two didn’t hesitate.
They directly boarded the Black Wind Eagle.
The Black Wind Eagle let out a cry and flew towards Linjiang City outside the valley.
…
At the same time, in the Feng Family of Yunmeng City…
Feng Xuan looked at Feng Qingya in front of him, his eyebrows gradually furrowing. “Girl, have you really thought this through? Staying in Yunmeng City would not only be safer for you, but I, the old ancestor, could also directly guide you.
You’ve seen the current situation of the Feng Family, and Feng Baozhao’s branch has already betrayed us.
The people we can use are limited. Once you break through to the Golden Core stage, I can directly announce to the world that you’ll be the next head of the Feng Family!
What’s this nonsense about a woman not being able to be the head of the family? That doesn’t exist in my book.”
Feng Qingya’s eyes flashed with determination upon hearing Feng Xuan’s words. “Ancestor, I know that staying in the Feng Family would make many things easier for me.
But a golden bird in a cage will never grow, and I’ve realized that I need to struggle and grow on my own outside.
With Mu Lao by my side, safety shouldn’t be a big issue. Moreover, with the Evil Moon Sect and Su Jingzhen in Linjiang City, they wouldn’t just stand by and watch if I’m in danger.
You’ve seen the ambitions of the Tuoba family and other forces, Ancestor. Perhaps it’s time to change our traditional views, and the Evil Moon Sect or the demonic path might be another choice for us.”
Before Feng Xuan could say anything else, Feng Qingya continued, “Of course, what I want most is to go out and gain some experience!”
Seeing that Feng Qingya’s mind was made up, Feng Xuan sighed. “I’m not a stubborn old man, and since you have your own plans, I won’t force you to stay. As long as you’ve thought it through, I’ll support you.”
As he said this, he naturally knew that Feng Qingya wanted to go to Linjiang City, and that the excuse of going to cultivate was only one aspect of the reason. The most important reason was still because Su Jingzhen was there.
Regarding Su Jingzhen, he was extremely fond of him.
In fact, he had already mentioned before that he wanted to arrange for Feng Qingya to marry Su Jingzhen.
So if Feng Qingya was going to Linjiang City because of Su Jingzhen, he wouldn’t object.
Even now, if the two young people were willing, he wouldn’t object to this marriage either.
After a pause, Feng Xuan asked, “So, when do you want to set off?”
“I’ll leave within three days. After handling all the matters in Yunmeng City, I’ll set off directly,” Feng Qingya said after thinking for a moment.
Feng Xuan nodded: “Remember to visit the Treasure Pavilion and bring some treasures to gift to the Evil Moon Sect when you leave.”
…
In the lower city district of Yunmeng City, near the central area, the Qingya Manor had been completely built.
The details of the manor were extremely luxurious and elegant.
The cost of building this Qingya Manor was not small, and the newly built manor was one of the most luxurious in the entire lower city district of Yunmeng City.
At this time, Feng Qingya pushed open the large gate of the Qingya Manor for the first time.
She walked in and took in everything, but didn’t linger for too long.
She glanced at Mu Lao, who was following her: “Mu Lao, let’s go. This place already belongs to me, but I still can’t stay for long.”
Hearing this, Mu Lao nodded, knowing Feng Qingya’s thoughts.
Not long after, a blue bird suddenly took off from outside Yunmeng City, flying towards Linjiang City in the distance.
On a high tower, Bai Susu’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed as she watched the blue bird take off.
“What is she doing? She finally got everything back, but now she’s giving up again? What’s attracting her to Linjiang City? Could it be that person called Su Jingzhen?”
Bai Susu muttered to herself. She once thought that she was one of the people who understood Feng Qingya best.
But now, she couldn’t understand Feng Qingya at all.
She then turned to her guardian beside her: “Mr. Fu, I also want to go to Linjiang City and take a look.”
As soon as she said this, Mr Fu suddenly furrowed: “Miss, we’ve already been out for too long. If we delay any further, the master may punish us.”
For them, as guardians, they could only remind her of this.
But after reminding her, if Bai Susu still insisted on going to Linjiang City, he naturally wouldn’t be able to change her decision.
However, hearing this, Bai Susu’s eyebrows furrowed again.
“I’m so tired, I don’t know when I can be as free as Feng Qingya. Let’s go, back to Holy City… But after this trip back, I’ll come out again.”
…
At dusk, Su Jingzhen and the other two on the black wind eagle’s back suddenly saw a familiar small city appear before their eyes.
Compared to Tianning City, this place felt like a poor and remote village. And it was even more so when compared to the super-large city of Yunmeng City.
However, this was the place where Su Jingzhen had lived since crossing over into the cultivation world, and seeing this small city now, Su Jingzhen’s eyes actually held a hint of fondness.
“I’m back. It feels like it’s been a long time, even though I’ve only been away for less than half a month.”
Su Jingzhen sighed as the black wind eagle flew directly into the Evil Moon Sect.
They landed in the sect’s square, and at this time, there was already a figure in white clothes, standing there with their head raised, looking around. It was Luo Yuebai.
