The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 118: Second Stage of the Spiritual Embryo, Descending the Mountain Alone

Su Jingzhen had always known that Luo Yuebai was following him.

He simply never paid much attention to it.

He had a mark given by Shuang Jiang on him, something Luo Yuebai didn’t have.

He also knew that Luo Yuebai had probably come here many times in private.

But the reason this place was called a secret land was not because it was easy to find.

After entering this place, Su Jingzhen put aside all distractions.

He continued toward the center of the secret land.

After another five or six steps, he felt a tremendous pressure ahead.

His skin was once again cut by the powerful sword intent in the dense fog.

Just like last time, Su Jingzhen took a step back to a range he could endure and began practicing the “Python Scales Power.”

Having the experience from the first time, he knew that there was unlikely to be any other danger in this space.

Thus, he practiced with peace of mind.

As he performed the moves of “Python Scales Power,” the forces in the surrounding dense fog began to converge into his body once more.

The strength of his blood energy increased bit by bit.

In this position, by the seventh repetition, Su Jingzhen’s stamina was nearly exhausted.

At this moment, the Surging Spring points in both feet and the Labor Palace point in his right hand suddenly heated up.

It seemed as if these three secret points were once again feeding back a large amount of energy.

Su Jingzhen’s body shook, and he felt that the strength of his blood energy had reached a new level.

After opening the Surging Spring point in his right foot, his Body Cultivation had already reached the first layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo.

And now, through his practice of “Python Scales Power,” he had reached the second layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo!

Although it was just a minor advancement, it was significant for Su Jingzhen.

Because this progress was achieved through his own diligent practice of the body cultivation technique.

He immediately checked his body cultivation sub-menu.

【Body Cultivation: Three Secret Points Opened

Flesh Body Level: Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo (Second Layer)

Next Secret Point to Explore: Labor Palace (Left) 0/200】

On the body cultivation sub-menu, the cultivation level had already been updated.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen became even more motivated.

However, he only practiced “Python Scales Power” one more time before stopping.

“Since I’ve broken through, perhaps I can rest now.”

“Today’s body cultivation will end here. A balance of work and rest will help me go further.”

Muttering to himself, Su Jingzhen gazed at the dense fog-covered center.

His expression showed a hint of curiosity once again.

What exactly was inside?

With this curiosity, Su Jingzhen stepped toward the center.

However, despite reaching the second level of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo, he could only take ten steps before the pressure became insurmountable, making it impossible for him to move forward. His sweat was mixed with a bit of blood once more.

Yet, the energy that entered his body during his practice of the “Python Scales Power” seemed to have become even more concentrated.

“Never mind, take it slow.”

“Since Shuang Jiang mentioned there would be opportunities here, they must be meant for me.”

After a brief attempt, Su Jingzhen retreated to the edge of this secret land.

Then he took out the Black Mountain Alchemy Furnace.

He felt extremely calm at this moment.

Moreover, with no one to disturb him, this was indeed an excellent place for alchemy.

At this time, Su Jingzhen still had thirty sets of ingredients for the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

He took them all out and placed them beside the furnace.

With a focused mind, he carefully sensed the new Black Mountain Alchemy Furnace.

Then he started the alchemy process, sensing the ingredients, and lighting the furnace!

Recalling all the steps of refining the Breaking Through Adversity Pill, he added the ingredients one by one.

Using the inscriptions on the Black Mountain Alchemy Furnace to control the temperature and size of the flame, soon a whiff of pill fragrance emanated from the furnace.

Su Jingzhen lightly patted the furnace, and a smooth Breaking Through Adversity Pill flew out.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen suddenly noticed that this pill had an inexplicable aura of spiritual energy, seemingly of higher quality than the ones he had refined before.

‘Could it be due to the rich spiritual energy here?’

‘Just the enhancement of the furnace shouldn’t achieve this effect.’

Su Jingzhen had doubts in his mind, but he was still excited.

After storing the pill, he started refining the second one without hesitation.

However, the second batch of ingredients did not yield the same good fortune as before.

Soon, a burnt smell emanated from the furnace.

Alchemy failure.

However, this did not deter Su Jingzhen in the slightest.

He remained focused.

Failure was just an opportunity to learn.

He had never expected to maintain a 100% success rate like with Qi-replenishing pills and Green Spirit Pills when refining the Breaking Through Adversity Pill of the second grade.

That was unrealistic.

Just as cultivation knows no age, neither does alchemy.

As Su Jingzhen entered the alchemy state in the secret place, Luo Yuebai outside glanced up at the sky, which had begun to darken.

He furrowed his brows.

“Could it be that this time, as Friend Su said, he won’t come out in a short time?”

Luo Yuebai muttered to himself, then glanced once more at the depths of the canyon.

Without hesitation, he flew away on his fan.

It had been a whole day since Su Jingzhen entered the canyon; he couldn’t wait here forever.

However, not long after Luo Yuebai left, Su Jingzhen emerged from the fog of the canyon.

Arriving at the spot where Luo Yuebai had been, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“It’s already dark. It seems Friend Luo has already left.”

Muttering to himself, Su Jingzhen had no intention of staying overnight in the secret place.

After using thirty sets of Breaking Through Adversity Pill ingredients, he had harvested a total of twelve finished pills.

With a success rate of forty percent, this was quite good for most second-grade alchemists.

However, Su Jingzhen was accustomed to almost one hundred percent success rate and was somewhat dissatisfied.

“Looks like next time, I really need to enhance my Wood Attribute spiritual roots.”

“Mysterious Spirit Root, it’s just not quite enough.”

Muttering to himself, Su Jingzhen headed out of the canyon toward Clear Wind Mountain.

Although his strength was comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator among Qi Refiners, but damn… he really couldn’t fly.

He had tried to control his black brick.

He really couldn’t fly, as if flying with artifacts was exclusive to Qi Refiners.

Or maybe for Body Cultivators to fly with artifacts, they probably needed to reach the level of Golden Embryo in Flesh Body Cultivation!

This made him even more eager to repair his Dantian.

Leaving aside other matters, just the ability to fly with artifacts was something he had long dreamed of in his past life.

As he thought this, Su Jingzhen exited the canyon and leaped onto the treetops.

Fortunately, he was at the second layer of Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo in Body Cultivation. Although he couldn’t fly with artifacts, his agility was extraordinary, far beyond the ordinary Qi Refiner.

Stepping on branches, he could leap three or four zhang at a time with a little effort.

At least he could perform light-foot techniques like walking on walls and leaping on rooftops.

However, before Su Jingzhen could descend the mountain, not long after leaving the canyon, there was a sudden disturbance in the dense forest below, and then a dark shadow suddenly lunged at him!
