For the next three days, Su Jingzhen did nothing.
He didn’t use any more of his points to level up, nor did he ask Qiu Yaoyao to take him to other wonders of the Heavenly Dragon Race.He simply stayed quietly in his courtyard by Heavenly Green Lake.
In reality, he wanted to consume Xuening directly.
However, she had not given him the opportunity in the past few days.
She kept the formation in the courtyard active, maintaining that state of alchemy.
He understood what Xuening meant; maybe she wasn’t unwilling to accept him.
She was just not ready yet.
Because of her gentle nature and the typical shyness of a girl, she needed time.
For these reasons, Su Jingzhen didn’t push her.
On the third day, as the sun rose, he looked at the golden characters flashing in front of him.
When he saw that his points had recovered to over 2800, the excitement in his heart was indescribable.
The feeling of earning points effortlessly was just too exhilarating.
Now he was earning a steady 81 points every day.
In less than half a month, he would be able to open a secret repository, which meant that he could break through two or three minor levels without doing anything.
If word of this got out, it would probably overturn the entire cultivation world’s understanding.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“This is too easy, too easy indeed.
At this rate, it would be impossible not to become invincible.
Once I enter the realm of Body Sovereign, my martial prowess will surely be among the best in the Unity Realm.
At that time, I might be able to start looking for news about Shuang Jiang,” Su Jingzhen thought.
In his life, Su Jingzhen had two benefactors.
One was Zhang Xiu, whose kindness he still didn’t know how to repay.
The other was Shuang Jiang; without her, he wouldn’t have been able to activate the system.
As a result, he wouldn’t have everything he had now.
However, he was not worried about Shuang Jiang.
After all, the strength she had shown back then was indeed extraordinary.
However, at that time, Shuang Jiang’s appearance and behavior had been somewhat awkward.
But Su Jingzhen was well aware that even the Luo River Region could hardly accommodate someone as esteemed as Shuang Jiang.
It was only after he reached his current cultivation level that he realized that perhaps only the legendary Zhongzhou could bear the presence of a figure like Shuang Jiang.
“Shuang Jiang, you promised to give me a great fortune when I appear before you. However, I am afraid that you will be surprised when I stand by your side.
Besides, it won’t be long before we meet again.”
As these thoughts crossed his mind, a smile tugged at the corners of Su Jingzhen’s lips.
In his weakest moments, the leg he clung to had finally become a soft spot in his heart.
“The road ahead is long and bright. Although I have many tasks ahead of me, they are all something I look forward to.”
As he thought, Su Jingzhen stepped out of his courtyard.
He sat on the shore of Heavenly Green Lake with a fishing rod in his hand.
The limited joy he had found these past few days was fishing at the lake.
Every creature in the lake was a leveled beast, but Su Jingzhen wasn’t interested in that.
What he was looking for was more akin to a certain state of mind.
In that calm and expansive mental state, even without consciously cultivating the Creation Heaven Scripture, the blood qi within him seemed to grow even faster than before.
“Brother Su has a very refined interest.”
Just as Su Jingzhen was about to enter a certain state of tranquility, a voice suddenly rang in his ear.
He instinctively turned around.
To his surprise, it was Qing Mo, who had crossed paths with him earlier, approaching from behind.
“Borther Qing Mo, long time no see,” Su Jingzhen smiled.
In fact, it had only been three days since they last met.
However, for a busy person like Su Jingzhen, three days was indeed a long time.
Upon hearing his words, Qing Mo paused for a moment before nodding with a smile. “Yes, even though three days might only be a blink of an eye for cultivators like us, the situation in the Luo River region and your reputation have both changed remarkably in that time.
It could be said that the news about you has changed as if one day has passed like three autumns. I just didn’t expect you to find time for leisure under such circumstances.”
Qing Mo’s words left Su Jingzhen stunned for a moment.
“Brother Qing Mo, I find your words somewhat difficult to understand.
Logically speaking, after my disastrous defeat against the Yan Clan prodigy at the Heavenly Dragon Conference, a loser would normally be overlooked.”
According to Su Jingzhen, after his battle with Yan Xia at the Heavenly Dragon Conference, the heat surrounding him should have gradually dissipated over time.
This was also one of the reasons why he had stayed at Heavenly Green Lake for the past three days, avoiding the outside world.
If he still maintained that level of attention in the Luo River region…
Whether he wanted to go to the Tortoise Sect or other places in the Luo River region, Su Jingzhen realized that if he did not disguise himself every time, he would be the center of attention wherever he went, which would be quite a hassle.
Upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s slightly confused remark, Qing Mo’s lips curled into a smile.
“Brother Su, you may be underestimating the impact of your achievements at the Heavenly Dragon Conference.
The Yan Clan Water Spirit Saint Body has been the talk of the Luo River region ever since she was brought back.
She has always maintained the highest level of popularity.
Now, whenever people talk about her, you cannot be avoided as a key element in the discussion.
Besides, Brother Su, you are a core disciple of our Heavenly Dragon Clan.
Even if some people try to undermine your reputation by focusing on your defeat against Yan Xia, you still cannot avoid being the center of discussion in the short term.
If you want to keep a low profile, it will be challenging for at least a year or so.
Just like your master, even after several decades, time has not forgotten him, right?”
It was clear that the prominent forces in the Luo River region already knew that Su Jingzhen was a disciple of Shen Yifeng.
At this moment, Qing Mo’s deliberate mention of these things made Su Jingzhen’s brow furrow again.
He didn’t understand Qing Mo’s intentions.
No matter what others said about him, it had already become a fact that he couldn’t change.
Looking at Qing Mo, he smiled and asked, “Let’s not talk about it. I wonder why you came to see me this time?”
Su Jingzhen preferred to keep their conversation straightforward without unnecessary small talk.
They weren’t particularly close, and their previous interaction was just like a servant bringing food and a patron enjoying it.
Therefore, he thought it best to get straight to the point.
Qing Mo was clearly taken aback by Su Jingzhen’s directness, and his expression was one of surprise.
However, he nodded and smiled. “Actually, it’s nothing important. It’s just that your White Python’s performance at the Heavenly Dragon Conference three days ago was truly amazing.
I think it would be a pity to miss this opportunity.
The previous Qingling Python simply couldn’t compare to your White Python, and after thinking about it for three days, I still want to propose a union between us.”
As he said this, an unprecedented fire ignited in Qing Mo’s eyes.
Su Jingzhen felt a shiver run down his spine.
“Brother Su, please don’t misunderstand. I am talking about a union between our contract beasts.
I have a high-level bloodline beast that has reached level seven, the Golden Flame Devouring Python.
I believe that my Golden Flame Devouring Python should be of sufficient bloodline quality to match your White Python.
I know that it is quite difficult for beasts of this level to produce offspring unless they are of the same species, but there is still a chance.
After all, our Heavenly Dragon Race has many secret techniques that could increase the odds.
I also promise that if we succeed, the first offspring will be yours, Brother Su.
If there are any more descendants in the future, I will naturally be in charge of them.”
As he spoke, Qing Mo remained full of anticipation.
Su Jingzhen felt amused in his heart.
Since that night, he had already realized that Qing Mo’s cultivation was definitely above the Unity Realm.
However, he was still unsure whether it was at the level of the Tribulation Realm or the Celestial Being Realm.
Regardless, he was undoubtedly one of the higher beings within the Heavenly Dragon Race. So why was he so interested in mating beasts?
If Bai Suzhen were truly a contract beast that he could command at will, he might be able to humor Qing Mo’s strange hobby and do him a favor.
Unfortunately, Bai Suzhen was not something he could control at will.
Just as Su Jingzhen was about to refuse, Bai Suzhen, who had been wrapped around his arm, suddenly spoke up.
“Agree with him, I’m hungry.”
Hearing these words, Su Jingzhen’s heart raced.
He was sure that he hadn’t misheard. The Golden Flame Devouring Python that Qing Mo had mentioned had indeed reached level seven, which meant that it was at the level of the Unity Realm.
This creature was nothing like any opponent he had faced before.
Moreover, a beast of this level would probably be a rare opponent for any core disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Race.
He knew very well that for Bai Suzhen, killing a level seven demon would be extremely easy.
Just like how she had destroyed the Tortoise Sect’s Earth Tortoise Envoy back then.
However, this would probably offend Qing Mo greatly.
“Are you afraid of him, or do you think I can’t handle this Golden Flame Devouring Python?”
Seeing Su Jingzhen’s hesitation, Bai Suzhen’s voice rang out again.
Su Jingzhen sighed helplessly in his heart.
He turned his gaze back to Qing Mo.
“Brother Qing Mo, it’s not that I don’t want to agree, but you’ve also seen my White Python… her temperament can be quite violent.
If you want to unite with her, your strength must surpass hers. Otherwise, when your Golden Flame Devouring Python meets her, a fierce battle is inevitable.
If something tragic happens like last time, it won’t be ideal.
You and I are acquaintances; I would rather not have any unpleasantness arise from this matter.”
As Su Jingzhen spoke, his tone was filled with difficulty.
He was quite adept at navigating social situations, and with this approach of retreating to advance, he had effectively put Qing Mo in a tight spot.
After all, he had laid out the stakes and clearly explained the worst-case scenario.
If Qing Mo still chose to proceed, then he couldn’t be blamed if the Golden Flame Devouring Python ended up as a meal.
Sure enough, upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Qing Mo laughed heartily. “Brother Su’s worries are completely unnecessary.
Since this matter was initiated by me, regardless of the outcome, even if my Golden Flame Devouring Python were to perish at the hands of your White Python, that would be my own choice.
I wouldn’t hold a grudge against Brother Su for that.”
This was the answer I was waiting for, old man.
Su Jingzhen thought to himself.
But his expression remained difficult.
After a long silence, he finally nodded, seemingly reluctant.
“Well… then okay…”
What do you think?
