After Shuang Jiang had finished settling the karma, Su Jingzhen clearly felt that she had undergone some subtle changes.
He discreetly took a glance at the Golden Finger panel, where Shuang Jiang’s column remained unchanged, still showing “No Hostility”. This relieved him.
However, he still needed to do something, even if it couldn’t increase their emotional connection level, at least to maintain it.
But if Zhang Xiu were to see this scene, it would be…
At this moment, Shuang Jiang looked at the jade pendant handed over by Su Jingzhen, and her eyes revealed a subtle change once again.
To her, a jade pendant without any energy fluctuations was no different from trash.
She thought Su Jingzhen’s behavior was childish, but after taking a deep breath, she still chose to accept it.
Su Jingzhen’s foolish yet rare innocence was something she didn’t want to destroy.
In a world of cultivation where one could easily become tainted, it was truly precious to maintain a pure heart.
Without saying a word of thanks, Shuang Jiang directly sat down on the stone bed to meditate.【Emotional Connection +2】

【Emotional Connection +2】
However, her heart was not at peace, as reflected in the points.
The golden words flashed, and the remaining usable points on the panel directly increased to 91!
She was one step closer to reaching 100 points.
Su Jingzhen then picked up the Qi-replenishing pill that was still placed beside the alchemy furnace.
“Rest well, young lady. I’ll go handle these medicinal pills. When I exchange them for spirit stones, I’ll give you half.”
Without waiting for Shuang Jiang’s response, he walked out of the quiet room and closed the door.
【Emotional Connection +2】
【Remaining Usable Points: 93】
After exiting, the golden words flashed again.
Su Jingzhen smiled faintly and quickly returned to the kitchen.
He directly took out the newly acquired cultivation methods.
The gloom in his heart was swept away.
Although his Dantian still needed to be repaired, these two cultivation methods would serve as his temporary crutch for now.
With the Golden Finger’s existence, he believed that the environment would adapt to him and bring him success.
“Python Scales Power” and “Divine Wandering”.
Su Jingzhen quickly grasped the essence of both cultivation methods and made a decision.
“Currently, I want to increase my strength as quickly as possible, and refining my body is more suitable for now.”
After quickly memorizing both cultivation methods, he directly destroyed them.
These cultivation methods were worthless in Shuang Jiang’s eyes, but in Linjiang City, they were probably treasures.
There was no possibility of exposing them.
It was already noon, and Su Jingzhen didn’t rush to cultivate “Python Scales Power”.
He glanced at the quiet room and then walked out of the academy.
Although sister-in-law Zhang Xiu had said that the city was not peaceful recently, he couldn’t just stay indoors.
It was daytime, and even if someone wanted to cause trouble, they would probably restrain themselves.
As soon as he walked out of the academy, he quickly slipped into a dark, deserted alley.
When he emerged, he was already wearing a black robe.
This was a common attire for cultivators in the cultivation world.
Firstly, it maintained an air of mystery, preventing others from discovering their true identity. Secondly, it was intimidating!
In Linjiang City, where the strong preyed on the weak, no one wanted to provoke a mysterious person with unknown abilities.
Who knew what kind of power they possessed?
After changing into this attire, Su Jingzhen headed straight for the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Linjiang City.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion was located next to the Flower Moon Pavilion.
Su Jingzhen had heard two phrases about the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
One: Wherever cultivators gather, there is a Treasure Gathering Pavilion!
Two: As long as you have enough spirit stones, you can buy anything you want!
It was indeed that crazy.
Su Jingzhen knew that these phrases might be exaggerated, but they could fully demonstrate the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s strength.
At least, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and the Flower Moon Pavilion held a superior position in Linjiang City.
Su Jingzhen, dressed in black, quickly arrived at the entrance of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Along the way, his attire didn’t attract any attention.
Because he had already encountered six or seven people dressed similarly along the way.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Linjiang City had only three floors, and there were no guards at the entrance, allowing anyone to enter.
This also reflected their confidence.
No one dared to cause trouble here.
Su Jingzhen directly entered the pavilion, and the first floor was extremely spacious, with ten transaction windows.
“Buying or Selling, Both Are Possible”
Su Jingzhen chose a window near the inner side and patiently waited in line.
After about the time it took to burn an incense stick, the three people in front of him finally finished their transactions.
Su Jingzhen, with his hat lowered, walked up to the window.
He directly took out two jade bottles from his storage bag.
“Selling!”
Su Jingzhen said only two words in a hoarse voice.
The female disciple of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, who was sitting inside the window, took the jade bottles from Su Jingzhen with a expressionless face.
As soon as she opened them, a fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted out, and her expression suddenly changed.
“This is… a Qi-replenishing pill! And the other one is also… a secondary product.”
She muttered to herself, then looked at Su Jingzhen.
“Do you want to sell all of them, fellow Daoist?”
Su Jingzhen nodded: “Let’s calculate the price.”
At this time, he appeared calm and carefree, but in his heart, he was somewhat expectant.
He knew that medicinal pills were expensive in the cultivation world, but he wasn’t sure how many spirit stones he could get for a Qi-replenishing pill.
“Fellow Daoist, your six high-quality Qi-replenishing pills can be exchanged for sixty lower-grade spirit stones. The other four secondary products can be exchanged for twelve lower-grade spirit stones, making a total of seventy-two spirit stones. What do you think, fellow Daoist?”
The woman spoke extremely politely.
She, of course, knew that someone who could take out so many Qi-replenishing pills at once must be an alchemist, no doubt.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion had an unwritten rule.
No matter what, they couldn’t offend alchemists, equipment refiners, and other special occupations.
“Seventy-two spirit stones? I heard that the recent exploration of Clear Wind Mountain has attracted many adventurers, so the price of these medicinal pills should increase.”
Su Jingzhen’s hoarse voice sounded again.
Sister-in-law Zhang Xiu had said that the situation on Clear Wind Mountain was very severe, and there would be fierce battles, so the demand for Qi-replenishing pills would be high.
The woman hastily added: “Fellow Daoist, I’ve already given you the highest price for your high-quality and secondary medicinal pills. How about this: ten medicinal pills for a total of seventy-five lower-grade spirit stones? What do you think?”
In reality, Su Jingzhen’s heart was already filled with joy.
This price had exceeded his expectations, and it was almost a tenfold return!
No wonder alchemists had such a terrifying reputation.
Su Jingzhen nodded calmly: “Give me fifty lower-grade spirit stones, and exchange the rest for equivalent medicinal materials.”
As soon as he said this, the woman was equally excited.
Exchanging for medicinal materials, didn’t this mean that there was a chance for long-term cooperation?
“Okay, fellow Daoist, please wait a moment.”
……
Before long, Su Jingzhen came out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
At this time, his storage bag already contained fifty lower-grade spirit stones and twenty-five portions of medicinal materials.
He hadn’t had such a large sum of money in a long time.
He could finally solve the problem of rent, and even now, he still felt a bit dreamy.
The future looked promising!
“Mister, let’s play!”
Just as he was feeling excited, a soft, sweet voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
