Su Jingzhen sat patiently in his chair, and before he knew it, he had entered a meditative state. The spiritual energy on the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was extremely dense, and although his Dantian was still broken, he couldn’t help but feel nourished by the energy.

After half an hour, Su Jingzhen suddenly heard a faint sound in his ear. He opened his eyes to see Feng Qingya sitting across from him.

“Hehe, it seems that I’ve made Master Su feel very at ease. You’ve entered a meditative state so easily,” Feng Qingya said with a chuckle.

Su Jingzhen was unaware of when Feng Qingya had arrived, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he began to recite the Clear Heart Sutra in his mind.

“Clear heart like water, clear water is the heart, gentle breeze without waves, no ripples…”

At this moment, Feng Qingya’s hair was wet and scattered, and she was wearing a white long dress with a low neckline. Her skin was also slightly transparent, as if she had just taken a bath. This was an extremely alluring and seductive sight.

Su Jingzhen’s heart was racing, and even though he was reciting the Clear Heart Sutra, his face still showed some unnatural expressions.

Feng Qingya’s smile grew even more radiant when she saw this. “Master Su, what’s wrong? Are you unwell?”

As she spoke, Feng Qingya leaned forward, her face filled with concern.

At this moment, her appearance was extremely alluring, even without intentionally using her charms.

If Su Jingzhen didn’t know that Feng Qingya was intentionally trying to seduce him, and if he wasn’t aware that she wouldn’t easily give in, he would have directly pounced on her like he did with the female cultivators at the Flower Moon Pavilion.

But facing Feng Qingya’s concern, Su Jingzhen quickly stood up and said, “I’ll wait for Miss Feng at the old place. Please change your clothes and come back, as we have important business to discuss.”

Feng Qingya’s expression changed, and she looked surprised. “Master Su has already successfully broken through to the second rank? You’ve refined the Breaking Through Adversity Pill?”

“Otherwise, we don’t have a second pill formula.”

Su Jingzhen let out a bitter laugh.

Feng Qingya nodded seriously and then headed towards another room on the second floor. In the face of important matters, Feng Qingya naturally knew what to prioritize.

Su Jingzhen let out a sigh of relief as he watched Feng Qingya leave.

At the same time, a golden text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The news of his breakthrough had indeed caused a stir on Feng Qingya’s side.

【Emotional Connection +2】

【Emotional Connection +2】

【Remaining usable points: 148】

And it directly triggered a three-hit combo.

Su Jingzhen walked back to the private room where he had previously traded with Feng Qingya.

“This woman’s charm is too deep. If I continue to interact with her like this, I might not be able to control myself one day.”

After returning to the private room, Su Jingzhen recited the Clear Heart Sutra twice to suppress the evil flames in his heart.

At the same time, he felt a bit strange in his heart.

Whenever he was in front of Feng Qingya, the evil flames in his heart would easily surge up.

He knew that this was not just due to Feng Qingya’s charm.

Before long, Feng Qingya changed into a purple long dress that fit her perfectly, showcasing her perfect figure.

Although it was not as revealing as her previous bathing attire, it was still much better.

At least in this attire, Su Jingzhen didn’t need to recite the Clear Heart Sutra.

Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and directly took out the jade bottle containing the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

Inside, three round and smooth pills were quietly lying.

Feng Qingya’s expression remained extremely serious as she took the jade bottle and opened it, her eyes filled with anticipation.

The fragrance of the pills instantly wafted out of the bottle.

Feng Qingya’s eyes sparkled even more brightly.

“Indeed, it’s the Breaking Through Adversity Pill! And the quality is exceptional!”

【Emotional Connection +2】

【Remaining usable points: 150】

After a surprised murmur, Feng Qingya added two more points.

Her gaze then turned back to Su Jingzhen: “Master Su’s speed is faster than I imagined.”

“Now, have the materials for the Breaking Through Adversity Pill been exhausted?”

“I currently don’t have many materials for the Breaking Through Adversity Pill, but I’m sending out a request to other branches for supplies.”

“Master Su can wait for two more days.”

In Feng Qingya’s view, the 80 portions of materials that could let Su Jingzhen directly break through to a second-rank alchemist and produce three finished Breaking Through Adversity Pills were already extremely excellent.

However, Su Jingzhen smiled and said, “I still have some materials for the Breaking Through Adversity Pill here. This time, I’m not here to fulfill the promise of giving Miss Feng the ten Breaking Through Adversity Pills.”

“Instead, I want to exchange these three pills for something.”

When Feng Qingya heard this, she was taken aback.

Then she smiled and said, “I wonder what Master Su needs this time?”

“As long as I have it, Master Su can just ask.”

At this moment, Feng Qingya’s gaze towards Su Jingzhen was even more fiery.

Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and directly stated his request.

“What kind of alchemy furnace can these three Breaking Through Adversity Pills be exchanged for?”

“My previous furnace was a bit low-level, and it would indeed have a slight impact on refining the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.”

Su Jingzhen was telling the truth about this.

When Feng Qingya heard this, her eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Then she burst out laughing.

“I thought it was something big, but it’s just this!”

As she spoke, the blue gemstone ring on her hand flashed again.

Then a black, ancient-style alchemy furnace appeared in the private room.

It was clear that Feng Qingya had been carrying it with her.

Su Jingzhen felt a sense of familiarity.

Because the last time he registered as an alchemist, he had used this very furnace to refine ten Qi-replenishing Pills.

“This furnace is called Black Mountain, and it’s one of my personal treasures,” Feng Qingya said. “But I’m not an alchemist, so it’s been collecting dust.”

“If the feeling of using it to refine pills last time was satisfactory to Master Su, then consider it a gift from me to Master Su.”

As she spoke, Feng Qingya’s eyes sparkled.

Su Jingzhen’s mouth, however, was curved into a faint smile.

He would always remember that when accepting a free gift from someone, don’t accept a free gift from a qualified merchant.
