The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

In just a little while, Su Jingzhen returned calmly through the gates of the school.

With his current strength and the cultivation environment of Linjiang City, handling a corpse was incredibly simple.

There was no need for any elaborate disposal; he just tossed it into an isolated corner.

He knew that in Linjiang City, incidents of robbers breaking into courtyards to kill and steal were not uncommon.

In fact, in Peach Blossom Alley, the cultivators who seemed to have fled with their doors shut might have already died in their courtyards.

It’s just that no one knew.

Regarding this matter, Su Jingzhen could only hope that Luo Yuebai would restore some order once he was done with his affairs.

At the very least, those robbers wandering outside the city should not be so rampant.

He understood that although the demonic sects acted unpredictably and demonic cultivators often did as they pleased without hesitation in killing, there was still basic order within the territories of the demonic sects.

Su Jingzhen arrived under the peach blossom tree once again.

Forming a seal with his hands, he used a small fireball technique to burn everything down.

This spot still had lingering corpse energy; although it was negligible now, Su Jingzhen disliked it.

After finishing everything, it was only noon.

Su Jingzhen glanced in the direction of Clear Wind Mountain before heading back to his quiet room.

He had yet to properly sort through today’s gains from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Back in his quiet room, he didn’t immediately bring out the alchemy furnace to start refining pills.

Instead, he took out the black storage bracelet and the jade slip recording the recipe for the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

His expression showed a hint of excitement.

The original storage pouch was also placed beside him. Compared to this exquisite storage bracelet, the pouch looked extremely shabby.

He poured out everything from the storage pouch.

Fifty sets of Qi-replenishing pill ingredients, over a hundred low-grade spirit stones, several sets of spare clothes, two bottles of body-tempering liquid, and dozens of jade bottles containing pills…

These were all his possessions in the storage pouch.

Though they looked shabby, among all the low-level cultivators in Linjiang City, this was considered quite a fortune.

Without hesitation, Su Jingzhen left his mark on the black storage bracelet.

The bracelet’s space was a full five cubic meters, enough to hold ten times his current belongings.

He then walked to the alchemy furnace in the corner.

With a thought, the small alchemy furnace disappeared on the spot.

Connecting his mind to the storage bracelet, Su Jingzhen saw the furnace quietly sitting in a corner of the storage space.

“Today, I will completely bid farewell to the past.”

Murmuring to himself, he took out the furnace again.

He also took out the jade slip with the Breaking Through Adversity Pill recipe.

He planned to attempt refining this second-grade pill.

However, he believed that with his current skill level, it shouldn’t be too difficult.

But as Su Jingzhen finished reading the information on the jade slip about the Breaking Through Adversity Pill, he was stunned.

It wasn’t that the Breaking Through Adversity Pill was particularly difficult.

But damn, in his eagerness to leave after the transaction, he had forgotten to buy the ingredients for the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.

He had everything prepared, but he forgot the most crucial part.

Even the most skilled alchemist cannot make pills out of thin air without ingredients, right?

Su Jingzhen let out a bitter laugh.

To make such a basic mistake, what could he say?

“Forget it, maybe today is not the right time to advance to a second-grade alchemist.”

“Let’s refine some Qi-replenishing pills first and get into the rhythm.”

“Besides, the recent fighting has left me unsettled, and it is indeed not a good time for such a significant step.”

After murmuring to himself, Su Jingzhen consoled himself with this reasoning.

He took out the fifty sets of Qi-replenishing pill ingredients.

Soon, he was once again immersed in alchemy.

The room was soon filled with the faint fragrance of pills.

About two hours later, the fire in the furnace extinguished, and before him were two jade bottles, each containing twenty-five Qi-replenishing pills.

He had mentioned earlier that the fighting might affect his mindset for alchemy, yet he just achieved a 100% success rate, producing fifty Qi-replenishing pills in one go.

It was still early, the night had not yet fallen.

But Su Jingzhen decided not to go to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion again today.

After all, he had already refined pills fifty times today, and now was truly not the right time to attempt advancement.

Since he had no mortal enemies in Linjiang City, he could take his time.

There was no rush.

To Su Jingzhen, leisure and tranquility should be the core of cultivation.

With this thought, he left the quiet room and headed to the kitchen, where he prepared a feast from the beast meat he had bought earlier.

However, now, these delicious dishes were not something he had to worry about disappearing if he ate slowly, but he suddenly felt they lacked flavor.

That usually quiet figure who stayed by his side, giving him the greatest reassurance, had made him develop a habit.

“Perhaps I can’t be too relaxed. The gap between us is still like the difference between clouds and mud.”

“To stand before her, it might take years of effort.”

Stuffing some meat into his mouth, Su Jingzhen didn’t waste the blood energy contained in the beast meat.

He quickly practiced a few rounds of the “Python Scales Power” to completely absorb and refine it.

Although he knew that the depths of the canyon in Clear Wind Mountain had a place highly suitable for his body refinement, he couldn’t reach it immediately.

And at this moment, Su Jingzhen had no intention of exhausting himself completely.

After all, who knew if another robber might come by later?

So he didn’t plan to waste the remaining body-tempering liquid.

Shuang Jiang had mentioned that the body-tempering liquid would greatly help his initial body refinement stages.

Su Jingzhen guessed that Shuang Jiang’s definition of initial body refinement stages probably included the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo level.

As the night slowly climbed the sky, Su Jingzhen lay on the stone bed to rest.

This sort of thing could only happen in the cultivation world.

In his previous life, considering midnight as early to bed was unimaginable.

However, lying on the bed didn’t mean just sleeping.

He carefully recalled and sorted through the theoretical battles from his previous life.

Techniques like the Clear Heart Technique, which could play a significant role in the cultivation world, should not be neglected.

Thinking about this, he eventually fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, a dark figure stood on the roof of the school’s kitchen.

Its gaze was fixed on the quiet room.
