The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 35: Credibility Comes Only From Absolute Strength

Although Su Jingzhen was always at the bottom of the cultivation world, he deeply understood the cruelty and coldness of the cultivation world.

Even though he had already demonstrated exceptional skills in alchemy, he didn’t believe that the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, a merchant force, would provide him with so many benefits without expecting anything in return.

They even gave him two bottles of Body Tempering Liquid without asking for anything in return.

Although Shuang Jiang was the one who took the lead in this matter, Su Jingzhen was willing to completely trust Shuang Jiang.

However, as a person who valued his freedom, Su Jingzhen had his own set of principles. If he had to give up most of his freedom, he would rather not accept the offer.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingya’s smile reappeared, and he nodded, saying, “Indeed, there are some restrictions.”

“But the restrictions are not severe. After you register as an alchemist at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, you just can’t register at other forces.”

“For example, you can’t register at the Alchemist Association or the Heavenly Yuan Chamber.”

“Of course, after you receive the imprint from us, other forces won’t register you either.”

Knowing that Su Jingzhen was a cultivation newbie, Feng Qingya was extremely patient and answered all of Su Jingzhen’s questions.

Su Jingzhen quickly understood the reasons behind this.

It was similar to the guilds before he crossed over, where you could only choose one to join, representing that guild’s camp.

But in other aspects, you had a high degree of freedom.

He learned that in the cultivation world, there were many merchant associations and special occupation groups that issued identity tokens to special occupation holders.

Among them, the largest registration base was not the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, but rather the Alchemist Association, the Artifact Association, and other guild-like forces.

These guilds had branches in slightly larger cultivation gathering places.

For example, in the alchemy field, over 60% of alchemists were members of the Alchemist Association.

The Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s behavior was somewhat like competing with these guilds for resources.

However, this didn’t have any impact on Su Jingzhen at the moment.

Registering at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion didn’t mean he would become a person of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion from then on.

Apart from representing his occupational camp, he could still sell the elixirs he refined to other places.

However, special occupation holders who held the Treasure Gathering Pavilion token could sell their products at a higher price when trading at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

It seemed that they wouldn’t go to other places to trade anymore.

This was indeed one of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s methods to attract people and gather resources!

In Su Jingzhen’s view, this was much more relaxed than the various bindings and material provisions he had experienced before he crossed over.

After understanding the situation, Su Jingzhen felt at ease and put away the token that represented his identity.

At the same time, he also happily accepted the two bottles of Body Tempering Liquid handed over by Feng Qingya.

As for the newly refined ten Qi-replenishing pills, Su Jingzhen didn’t have the heart to take them away.

After all, the other party had already generously given him the Body Tempering Liquid, and the medicinal materials were also provided by them.

As Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang descended the stairs, Feng Qingya’s eyes sparkled again.

“A 100% success rate alchemist! A legendary figure who only exists in myths! I, Feng Qingya, never thought I’d encounter one. And I’ve even successfully pulled him to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s camp!”

“If he breaks through to the second-grade alchemist level and can still maintain a high success rate, then it won’t be difficult for me to leave this place at all!”

When Feng Qingya first arrived in Linjiang City, she thought her life was almost over.

But now, she saw hope again.

“Hmm…”

“Interesting, I wonder what your true identity is.”

“Take your spirit stones and leave this place! The Treasure Gathering Pavilion is not a place for you to cause trouble!”

“Don’t make a mistake before I call the law enforcement team!”

Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang had just come downstairs when they saw a fat manager from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion scolding someone.

Across from the fat manager stood three people.

It was Yan Xia and her family of three.

Their faces were already pale.

Yan Xia’s father received a cloth bag thrown by the fat manager, but still couldn’t speak.

He glared at the fat manager with a cold gaze: “I only ask one thing.”

“Does the Treasure Gathering Pavilion have Body Tempering Liquid today?”

The fat manager smiled and replied, “We do have it, but we’re not selling it.”

“Yesterday, we clearly paid the deposit, and this is the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s credibility?”

Looking at the fat manager’s nonchalant attitude, Yan Xia also asked angrily.

They had come to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion yesterday to reserve the Body Tempering Liquid.

Her father clearly wanted her to start from the physical cultivation direction.

They came with high hopes, but received a refund instead.

The three of them naturally wouldn’t accept this outcome.

Upon hearing her words, the fat manager’s mouth curled up into a cold smile again: “This is the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. We have absolute authority over everything here. If you don’t like it, then don’t come back.”

Reputation is always built on absolute power.

In the fat manager’s view, what did it matter if these low-level cultivators in Linjiang City trusted him or not? It wouldn’t have any impact.

Rules for these low-level cultivators could be changed at will.

“You!”

Yan Xia and her family were furious, but they had nothing to say.

With their power, they couldn’t confront the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

But at this moment, Yan Xia saw Shuang Jiang and Su Jingzhen walking down the stairs.

Her eyes lit up, and she mustered up the courage to approach the two.

“Two gentlemen…”

Yan Xia, although she hadn’t awakened her spiritual roots, had always been proud and arrogant since she was young. She couldn’t bear this kind of humiliation.

She knew that at least the people who could go upstairs were Foundation Establishment stage experts. Maybe they could meet one or two righteous people who would uphold justice.

But before Yan Xia could finish speaking, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang didn’t even glance at her.

Their faces were extremely calm, and they directly walked towards the outside of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, without any intention of getting involved.

As for Su Jingzhen, even if Yan Xia hadn’t mocked him earlier, they were just strangers who had met by chance.

Moreover, he had heard the conversation between Yan Xia’s family and the fat manager, and their goal was also the Body Tempering Liquid!

Why bother getting involved?

Even if he had the ability to uphold justice, wouldn’t that be like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot?
