As soon as Shuang Jiang spoke, the atmosphere in the private room changed again.
Feng Qingya’s face revealed a hint of surprise.
This type of transaction, although not unheard of, was still a first for her, and her curiosity was piqued.
Su Jingzhen’s gaze also turned to Shuang Jiang.
An opportunity to register as a high-level alchemist?
What kind of ghost was this?
And among the two of them, it seemed that only Shuang Jiang was the alchemist.
He still wanted to keep his alchemist identity hidden and didn’t want to expose it, especially not in a place like the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Silently cultivating, hiding his wealth, that was his true desire.
He deeply remembered an old saying from before his transmigration: “People fear fame, pigs fear being fat.”The cultivation world was too dangerous, and suddenly gaining fame without matching power would be perilous, wouldn’t it?
“Uh…”
At this time, Su Jingzhen wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to start.
As if knowing Su Jingzhen’s concerns, Shuang Jiang directly said, “I won’t harm you. You won’t take advantage of your own conditions, and I’ll help you.”
Su Jingzhen was stunned. His current relationship with Shuang Jiang was one of ‘Slight Fondness’, and Shuang Jiang wouldn’t harm him.
The elixir was bought for him, and all of this was for his own benefit.
He temporarily put his heart at ease.
“Can you explain this matter in detail, senior?”
Feng Qingya’s lips curled up again, revealing a hint of a smile.
With just a few words from Shuang Jiang, she had already guessed what was going on.
She was very interested in this, and believed that a cultivator like Shuang Jiang wouldn’t say something ordinary.
It seemed that this was also an introduction to her network of connections.
Shuang Jiang didn’t plan to explain further.
She said, “Or we can borrow the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s alchemy furnace and prepare some Qi-replenishing pill materials for you.”
When Su Jingzhen heard Shuang Jiang’s words, he felt a sense of tension in his heart.
Was he going to be put into action?
However, he didn’t have any issues with refining Qi-replenishing pills.
Feng Qingya’s eyes flashed with surprise again.
Smiling, she nodded and said, “Wait a moment.”
After speaking, she directly walked out.
It seemed that she was going to get it herself.
“Shuang Jiang, what’s going on?”
“Is this going to directly expose my alchemist identity?”
After Feng Qingya left, Su Jingzhen asked directly.
He still didn’t quite understand this matter.
Shuang Jiang’s face revealed a hint of disdain under her veil.
“What’s there to hide about your alchemist identity?”
“Moreover, this isn’t considered exposure, just leaving a mark in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”
“At least for now, it will be of great help to you.”
She paused, then continued, “Cultivation is a personal matter, but sometimes you need to learn to utilize your advantages.”
“Especially since you’re going to take the alchemy path, you’ll need resources that are ten or a hundred times more than for cultivating Qi, so you need to do this.”
“But…I still don’t quite understand…”
Su Jingzhen had been at the bottom rung for two and a half years.
He had only heard rumors about the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and had no opportunity to delve deeper.
Shuang Jiang was a bit helpless, but she didn’t plan to explain too much to Su Jingzhen.
She only said, “Feng Qingya will tell you what to do later, and she’ll explain it to you.”
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen didn’t ask anymore.
Before long, Feng Qingya returned to the private room.
“I apologize for the wait.”
With a apologetic smile, Feng Qingya walked directly to the innermost part of the private room.
Su Jingzhen saw her lightly touch the blue gemstone ring on her right hand’s ring finger.
That was a storage ring.
In the cultivation world, there were three types of storage devices.
The first was the storage bag, which almost every cultivator had.
The highest-quality storage bag had a space of less than one cubic meter, and Su Jingzhen’s small furnace couldn’t even fit inside.
The second was the storage bracelet, which had a space of around three to ten cubic meters and could hold more items.
And the highest level was the storage ring.
Although the ring looked small, it was said to have endless storage space, like a mustard seed containing a mountain.
The lowest-level storage ring had a space of over ten cubic meters, and it was said that high-level storage rings in the cultivation world had almost infinite space, even able to evolve into a secret realm.
Seeing Feng Qingya’s storage ring again confirmed her extraordinary identity.
The blue gemstone ring flashed with a light, and a black alchemy furnace appeared on the carpet in front of them.
The furnace had many intricate patterns engraved on it, and its craftsmanship was unknown, but it was certainly more exquisite than Su Jingzhen’s furnace at home.
Feng Qingya then took out ten sets of Qi-replenishing pill materials and placed them on the table.
She then looked at Shuang Jiang with curiosity: “Senior, if it’s just refining a Qi-replenishing pill, it seems to be a bit different from what you said before.”
Her face still had a smile, and her doubts were veiled.
If it was just a first-grade alchemist, she wouldn’t care too much.
“You’ll know.”
Shuang Jiang responded indifferently.
She knew that a ordinary first-grade alchemist was not worth much, but Su Jingzhen was an existence with a near-perfect success rate, which made him a rare and precious talent.
She then told Su Jingzhen, “Go ahead, do it as you usually do.”
Su Jingzhen nodded and walked to the furnace without saying a word.
After a brief familiarization, he entered a state of focus.
His handsome face under the veil was now serious.
Igniting the fire, sensing the materials, and casting…
Su Jingzhen’s actions were smooth and natural.
At first, Feng Qingya’s face only had a hint of curiosity.
Watching Su Jingzhen’s skilled movements, Feng Qingya couldn’t help but nod frequently.
As the saying goes, “outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the door”, although Feng Qingya wasn’t an alchemist, she had seen many alchemists and equipment makers cooperating with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
As someone who held an important position in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Feng Qingya had seen many things.
In her opinion, at least among the first-grade alchemists she had seen, none of them had techniques as refined as Su Jingzhen’s.
Her heart gradually grew more respectful.
After half a stick of incense time, a fragrance of medicine wafted through the private room.
“Ah? Is it done already?”
In Feng Qingya’s understanding, even for a first-grade pill, it usually took at least a stick of incense time, right?
“Did it fail?”
Feng Qingya’s curiosity was piqued, and her body, which was leaning against the chair, straightened up a bit.
Then, she saw Su Jingzhen pat the furnace, and a round and smooth Qi-replenishing pill flew out of the furnace.
“It’s really done!”
Feng Qingya swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and her heart was already shocked.
But this was only the first one, and she didn’t know that the real shock was yet to come.
