Chapter 189: Eight Stage
Looking at Hong Yi standing at the gate of the mansion, a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.
“Brother Hong, where is she?”
Feng Mingyan had naturally received the news and rushed back.
On the way back from Linjiang City, the encounter with Feng Qingya and Su Jingzhe on the nameless mountain made him feel quite unhappy.
At this moment, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to mock them, but he ended up returning empty-handed.
In his opinion, he had taken over Feng Qingya’s mansion in this place.
Given the other party’s personality, they shouldn’t have let things go so easily.
Hearing his words, Hong Yi shook his head: “Brother Feng, you’re too late. Miss Qingya has already left. and it seems that she has no attachment to this place.”As Hong Yi spoke, his eyes also revealed a hint of seriousness.
Upon hearing this, Feng Mingyan’s expression turned solemn: “She’s actually left? I underestimated her a bit.”
“Since that’s the case, Brother Hong, let’s go in and have a cup of tea with me.”
…
On the other side, after leaving Ming Yan’s mansion, Feng Qingya took Su Jingzhen and others to find an inn in Yunmeng City.
“Miss Feng, about this matter…”
As they entered the inn, Su Jingzhen instinctively wanted to comfort Feng Qingya.
But when he opened his mouth, he didn’t know what to say.
Feng Qingya understood Su Jingzhen’s intentions and smiled: “Master Su, don’t worry. Do you think I’m someone who can be easily defeated?”
“It’s just a mansion, and it’s not like I’m particularly attached to it. Besides, this is only temporary; I’ll get it back eventually.”
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen nodded again: “Life is like a long river, and one should approach it with a calm heart. Perhaps that’s the way to begin. Since Miss Qingya can think like this, I’m much more at ease.”
As Su Jingzhen spoke, his tone was sincere, and his eyes revealed a hint of concern.
Feng Qingya silently looked at him for a few seconds.
The corners of her mouth curved up again, revealing a bright and charming smile.

Immediately, golden words floated in front of Su Jingzhen’s eyes again.
The few of them didn’t say much more.
They directly entered the Spirit Sound Inn in front of them!
The inn’s standards were quite good.
It was directly operated by Spirit Sound Valley, one of the four major powers controlling Yunmeng City.
And Spirit Sound Valley, Flowing Wind Sword Sect, and Lingxiu Pavilion, these three powers wouldn’t get involved in the internal affairs of the Feng family.
Even though they were very clear about the Feng family’s matters, they wouldn’t choose to take sides.
After all, the four major powers jointly controlling Yunmeng City cooperated on the surface, but there were undercurrents beneath.
The inn’s accommodation wasn’t cheap, requiring three middle-grade spirit stones per day, equivalent to 300 lower-grade spirit stones.
In the former Linjiang City, the total assets of countless cultivators were not that much.
The four of them directly booked four rooms.
This was indeed a bit extravagant, and they could have saved spirit stones by booking two rooms.
Xuening and Feng Qingya could share one room, and Su Jingzhen could share with Mu Lao.
However, as cultivators, especially those who weren’t particularly weak, who didn’t have some secrets of their own?
Living together would ultimately be inconvenient, unless it was a couple.
One day’s stay required 12 middle-grade spirit stones, although Feng Qingya’s current status in the Feng family was indeed very low.
But it was only for a few days, and she could afford to spend these spirit stones.
After all, she had once held a high position, and her foundation was still there.
After they checked in, the night had already fallen, and the lanterns of Yunmeng City had just been lit.
However, although they had come a long way today, they were still a bit tired.
Su Jingzhen and Xuening were extremely curious about Yunmeng City, but they didn’t choose to go out and wander around.
He knew that their group had entered Yunmeng City in a high-profile manner today.
Moreover, they had caused a commotion at the Mingyan mansion’s gate, and they might already be under the scrutiny of many people.
Before the Alchemist Conference officially began, he didn’t want to bring more trouble to Feng Qingya.
This was also for his own personal safety.
Although he was the Chief Acolyte of the Evil Moon Sect in Linjiang City, his actual strength was limited.
In Yunmeng City, Foundation Establishment cultivators were everywhere, and Golden Core cultivators were not few in number.
Moreover, Nascent Soul old monsters might not even be counted on one hand.
Any random Golden Core cultivator might be able to pose a mortal threat to him.
There are too many people who can make him die without taking out the token of the Chief Acolyte.
But in this Spirit Sound Valley-operated inn, they could guarantee their safety 100%.
When in an unfamiliar place, Su Jingzhen would also try to be more cautious.
He and Xuening didn’t continue to research alchemy today.
But Su Jingzhen didn’t choose to sleep immediately.
Although the price of this Spirit Sound Inn was not cheap, the spiritual energy here was extremely dense.
You get what you pay for.
In the entire Yunmeng City area, the spiritual energy was already more dense than in other places, and there was a large-scale spiritual gathering array that converged the surrounding spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy here was several times denser than in Linjiang City.
In the Spirit Sound Inn, there was also a small-scale spiritual gathering array that made the surrounding spiritual energy even more dense.
Cultivating here, whether it was cultivating qi or body, was a great opportunity for them, the country bumpkins.
He directly began practicing the “Python Scales Power” here.
Although the effect was not as good as the strange land on Clear Wind Mountain, it was still much better than in Linjiang City or Tianning City.
His Body Cultivation was already at the peak of the seventh layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo.
Today, he planned to break through to the eighth layer.
With such a deep accumulation, he was quite confident in crossing this small boundary.
Each room in the Spirit Sound Inn had an array that isolated sound and breath, making it impossible to detect what was happening inside from the outside.
Su Jingzhen directly took out a top-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill and put it in his mouth.
These pills, after reaching the top quality, no longer had any toxic effects, and he didn’t need to worry about side effects.
Moreover, he didn’t need to sell these pills urgently, and he followed the principle of not wasting them, so he might as well use them himself, regardless of their effect on his current cultivation.
If other cultivators knew that top-grade pills were being used like this by Su Jingzhen, they would probably be furious.
Su Jingzhen’s practice of the “Python Scales Power” was still meticulous, with every movement precise.
An hour later, he was lying on the floor of the room, panting heavily, with sweat dripping from his body.
However, the blood energy inside his body was constantly surging.
Compared to before, it had increased by a large margin.
His already strong foundation, combined with the effect of the Breaking Through Adversity Pill, had achieved a significant improvement.
At this time, his Body Cultivation had already reached the eighth layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo.
