The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 424: Good Fortune

“It’s a deal!”

Su Jingzhen felt a surge of excitement.

Is he the kind of person who takes risks? Obviously not!

He wouldn’t do anything without a certain level of confidence.

Right now, for him, it was just a matter of getting something for nothing.

All Su Jingzhe knew about Bai Suzhen was that she was beheaded by the sword energy in the canyon and that she was a black python. He knew nothing else.

He didn’t know her cultivation level, her origins, or even what kind of python she was.

This time, Su Jingzhen didn’t expect any great fortune from Bai Suzhen.

He just wanted to understand some basic information about her, and that would ease his mind.

Of course, he could also see that Bai Suzhen had a strong killing intent towards him.

He also knew that this killing intent stemmed from the sword qi he had absorbed.

But he had no way to explain this.

So, while Bai Suzhen coiled around his waist, providing him with some physical protection, she was also a ticking time bomb.

After reaching this agreement, Bai Suzhen stopped talking and fell into a deep silence.

She no longer cared whether Su Jingzhen practiced or not.

She had made up her mind: if Su Jingzhen didn’t reach the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage within ten days, she would swallow him.

She was confident that even someone as powerful as Shen Yifeng wouldn’t be able to stop her when she made her move.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen wasn’t thinking about cultivation either.

He returned to his room and took out his Black Mountain Dan furnace, something he hadn’t used in a long time.

He took out the medicinal ingredients for two Breaking Through Adversity Pills and began to work.

“You… you’re an alchemist?”

Bai Suzhen’s surprised voice echoed again, breaking the silence.

Although Su Jingzhen had refined many pills in the past in the strange land, she hadn’t been resurrected then.

When Bai Suzhen came back to life, Su Jingzhen hadn’t shown any signs of this ability.

Even when he met Xuening and the others in the strange land before, Su Jingzhen hadn’t personally taken charge of the alchemy.

“A little bit, a little bit… hehe…”

Su Jingzhen chuckled awkwardly.

Then, he said seriously, “Bai Suzhen, think of this as me practicing Python Scales Power, and could you please re-infuse me with that special energy you gave me before?”

Su Jingzhen wanted to see if, with Bai Suzhen’s blessing, he could mass-produce superior-grade pills.

Hearing this, Bai Suzhen didn’t respond.

But Su Jingzhen clearly felt a strange energy emanating from Bai Suzhen’s body, spreading throughout his entire being.

Su Jingzhen’s expression immediately turned serious.

He sensed the medicinal ingredients, ignited the furnace, and followed the usual steps.

He soon entered the state of alchemy.

One by one, the medicinal ingredients were thrown into the furnace.

Under the influence of alchemy, his control over the Dan Heart was unconsciously manifested.

Breaking Through Adversity Pill was only a second-grade pill, and the medicinal ingredients were not particularly high-grade.

Each one was under his control.

Soon, a fragrance of pills filled the room.

The Breaking Through Adversity Pill took shape in the Black Mountain furnace.

Su Jingzhen slapped the furnace hard, and the pill flew out.

He eagerly grabbed it and took a look, but his expression was slightly disappointed.

He had been extremely careful this time, but the pill he produced did not reach the super-grade quality as he had imagined.

He shook his head gently, but he didn’t give up.

He began the second round of refining.

With his current alchemy skills, refining Breaking Through Adversity Pill was almost impossible to fail.

After another process, about the time of an incense stick, another pill flew out of the furnace.

This time, after a slight sense, a smile appeared on Su Jingzhen’s lips.

This time, it finally reached super-grade quality!

He sighed softly, “It seems I still can’t fully replicate the effects of your blessing with the environment of the strange land.”

At this point, Su Jingzhen was certain that under Bai Suzhen’s blessing, he couldn’t produce super-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pills 100% of the time.

Although he had achieved this level outside the strange land before, it was still a matter of luck.

Just like before, he had to refine two pills to get one that reached super-grade quality.

“Your technique seems quite excellent, and you’ve even sensed the Dan Heart!”

After Su Jingzhen extinguished the flames in the Black Mountain furnace, Bai Suzhen’s voice rang in his ears again.

To his surprise, Su Jingzhen also detected a hint of excitement.

However, Su Jingzhen was also somewhat surprised that his Dan Heart had been detected by Bai Suzhen right away.

He became even more wary of Bai Suzhen.

Before he could respond, Bai Suzhen said again, “You’re becoming increasingly interesting. I’m almost tempted not to eat you.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen laughed once more. “It’s all just a bit of luck. Nothing to brag about.”

Bai Suzhen continued, “I’ve changed my mind. In ten days, if you can’t reach the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage, I’ll spare you for now. But when your alchemy skill reaches the level I desire, you will refine a pill for me.”

Her tone was serious as she spoke.

Su Jingzhen smiled. “In that case, it would be an honor for me to serve you. But does this count as another agreement between us?”

After a moment of silence, Bai Suzhen’s voice rang out again. “You can understand it that way.”

Su Jingzhen nodded and remained silent.

He felt that Bai Suzhen now was somewhat similar to Shuang Jiang.

The difference was that back then, after Shuang Jiang helped him unlock his golden finger, he was certain that Shuang Jiang posed no threat to him. But Bai Suzhen still carried a certain danger.

He was genuinely interested in interacting with these beings whose specific cultivation levels he didn’t know.

He knew that cultivating immortality was somewhat similar to life on Earth before his transmigration. Many opportunities and blessings came from the people you interacted with.

………

As expected, Su Jingzhen simply lay on his bed in the following days.

He didn’t ponder life’s meaning or meditate; instead, he completely relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

Su Jingzhen had two ways to adjust his mental state and spirit: either by practising the Python Scales Power for a few rounds or by sleeping.

However, when time permitted, he preferred a good, long sleep.

This might stem from his experience as a transmigrator. He always feels full of energy after waking up.

With enough points, he felt he could afford to try things at a slower pace.

At least he didn’t have to rush like he did when he first awakened the system.

In the Qingzhou region, or rather, within Linjiang City, as long as he didn’t actively seek his own demise, possessing his current abilities made it quite difficult for anyone to eliminate him.

Su Jingzhen fell into a deep slumber, while Bai Suzhen silently grumbled to herself.

But there was nothing she could do about it.

At the same time, the curiosity she felt towards Su Jingzhen grew even stronger.

He slept soundly, unaware of the passage of time.

Although the atmosphere in Linjiang City these days was quite tense, and the people flowing through it were a mixed bag, no one disturbed Su Jingzhen’s peaceful dreams all day long.

After being put in countless positions by Su Jingzhen last night, Luo Yuebai did not choose to come to his room again tonight.

So Su Jingzhen slept until the second day dawned.

When he opened his eyes again, the familiar golden characters appeared before him.

[Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 9, Luo Yuebai: 15, Dantai Xuening: 6]

[Remaining Usable Points: 1040]

Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with extreme excitement. The points had finally broken through another major barrier.

He could now open the Yin Jiao acupoint at any time.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen really wanted to immediately open the Yin Jiao acupoint and see if he could directly break through to the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage, and give Bai Suzhen a good shock.

But after a moment of thought, he gave up on this idea.

He had just made such an agreement with Bai Suzhen yesterday, and if he broke through directly today, it would inevitably make Bai Suzhen suspicious.

It would be too strange to break through so suddenly without doing anything.

Bai Suzhen was capable of dissecting him, but he didn’t want to be a lab rat.

So, if possible, he thought it would be best to be more cautious for a few more days.

At least when he decided to break through, he had to put on a show.

“There probably won’t be anything for me to do today either. The people from the Dan Hall will probably take another day or two to enter the second batch, and that’s when I’ll be needed.

By then, I can probably have someone trade a batch of pills with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”

Su Jingzhen pondered for a moment on the stone bed.

He felt like he had suddenly become idle again.

Perhaps the most important thing for him today was to find Luo Yuebai or Feng Qingya.

When he was alone with them, the points always came faster.

“Yuebai seems to be quite busy these days, perhaps it would be best to go find Miss Feng.”

He muttered to himself again, but in fact, he really wanted to take Shen Yifeng out for a walk again.

Although he knew the chances were slim, what if the remaining members of the Six heavenly Generals couldn’t hold back and wanted to avenge Yin and Wind?

But this was just something he could think about.

Before he even got out of bed, Luo Yuebai’s voice had already sounded in his courtyard.

“Are you awake?

If you’re awake, come with me.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen was taken aback, and then a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Luo Yuebai came to find him early in the morning, it seemed like there was something important.

He did not delay, tidied up his appearance a little, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

Luo Yuebai’s tall figure stood in the courtyard, dressed in a rather formal attire today.

Her expression was also slightly serious.

Su Jingzhen’s expression became serious as well: “Did something happen?”

“Yes,” Luo Yuebai nodded, then said, “But, for us, it’s good news.”
