YM778.TV Chapter 285: The Person is No Longer There
Tianning City, located in Qingzhou, was already considered a third-tier city.
After all, it was home to the Spiritual Medicine Sect.
Although it had only been less than ten days since they left, Xuening felt a sense of nostalgia as they approached Tianning City.
At this moment, a line of golden small characters suddenly appeared before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.
Another day had passed, and the fixed points had arrived as scheduled.
【Time left until the host’s Dantian shatters: 472 days!】
【Daily fixed points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 6, Luo Yuebai: 4, Dantai Xuening: 6】
【Remaining usable points: 481】Seeing the point increase, Su Jingzhen’s expression turned joyful once again.
Even if there wouldn’t be any emotional resonance points added later, he would still have enough points to open the Stone Gate Acupoint by the next day.
Under Shen Yifeng’s control, the Black Wind Eagle flew directly into Tianning City.
In Yunmeng City, he would still show some restraint.
But in Tianning City, with Shen Yifeng’s name, he could do as he pleased.
The Black Wind Eagle flew into the poor and rundown streets of Tianning City, attracting the attention of many cultivators.
“What kind of big shot is this? They’re being so arrogant!”
“They’re not giving the Spiritual Medicine Sect any face at all.”
“…”
Many cultivators discussed this, but only discussed it.
Even the actual controllers of Tianning City, the Spiritual Medicine Sect, wouldn’t bother to intervene in such situations.
After all, the Spiritual Medicine Sect was strong, but there were many cultivators they couldn’t afford to offend.
The Black Wind Eagle landed at the entrance of Dantai Mingjing’s courtyard, but didn’t fly in directly.
This was a sign of respect for Dantai Mingjing.
However, at this moment, a copper lock hung on the courtyard’s gate, and there were no arrays surrounding the courtyard.
Seeing this, Xuening’s heart skipped a beat.
The next moment, she activated her spiritual power, and the lock on the gate fell to the ground.
She hastily pushed open the gate and rushed in.
The courtyard was still the familiar one, with wooden racks and even some medicinal herbs drying on them.
However, there was no familiar figure with one arm standing beneath the wooden racks.
Xuening’s eyes suddenly turned red.
She, of course, knew what this meant.
“Grandfather, Little Ling… I’m back! Where are you?”
At this moment, Xuening’s heart still couldn’t believe everything in front of her, and she began to search each room, pushing open the doors one by one.
However, the furnishings in these rooms were still the familiar ones she knew so well.
But she couldn’t see those two familiar people anymore.
Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng stood in the courtyard, with a faint smile on their faces.
“It’s likely that Dantai has already left since the day you left Tianning City. Since he chose to hide from the world, he naturally wouldn’t want anyone to disturb him.
And Little Girl Xuening has also reached the age where she should come out into the world. You mentioned earlier that Xuening has a little sister, right?
Just wait, and it won’t be long before that little girl grows up, and Dantai will reappear.”
Shen Yifeng also had a hint of sentimentality.
Originally, he had thought that if their fates were intertwined, he might be able to see this legendary figure. Now, it seemed like it was just a futile wish.
The courtyard had only four or five rooms in total, and Xuening, not willing to give up, searched every room before finally walking to Su Jingzhen’s side with tears in her eyes.
“Big Brother Su, Grandfather… Little Ling is gone. Did they abandon me?”
Xuening had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and her alchemy skills were almost at the fourth rank. In terms of reputation, she was already a notable figure in Qingzhou.
But in the end, she was still just a young girl who hadn’t experienced much of the world.
Her pitiful and helpless appearance at this moment was heart-wrenching.
Su Jingzhen reached out and stroked her long hair.
“Master Dantai is a renowned strong expert, and you don’t need to worry about his and Little Ling’s safety. Perhaps he chose to leave because he didn’t want to affect you.
You don’t need to think too much about it.
Just follow Big Brother Su back to the Evil Moon Sect, and maybe it won’t be long before he and Little Ling will appear before you.”
Su Jingzhen softly comforted her.
Xuening nodded silently, but the tears in her eyes still couldn’t be held back and began to fall.
Grandfather and Little Ling were gone, and in this vast world, Xuening suddenly felt like she was all alone.
And Su Jingzhen had somehow become her only reliance.
“Thank you, Big Brother Su.”
Xuening said softly.
At this time, a line of golden small characters appeared before Su Jingzhen’s eyes again.
【Emotional Connection+6】
【Emotional Connection+6】
【Remaining usable points: 493】
It seemed that this helpless moment was indeed the easiest time to produce an Emotional Connection.
Su Jingzhen had been expecting to reach 500 points, but he didn’t think it would be so easy to achieve.
However, at this moment, his heart was also quite complicated.
“Girl, from now on, the Evil Moon Sect will be your home. You can ask me for anything you want, and I’ll do my best to help you.
Although I can’t teach you alchemy, I’ll be the best in other aspects.
Let’s go, we’ll head back to the Evil Moon Sect.”
At this time, Shen Yifeng also said.
Xuening bowed to him again.
The three of them then walked out of the dilapidated courtyard.
Xuening picked up the copper lock from the ground and rehung it on the gate.
With a hint of reluctance, she followed Shen Yifeng and stepped onto the Black Wind Eagle’s back.
At this time, many low-level cultivators on the same street looked over curiously.
When they saw Xuening, their expressions were filled with astonishment.
“It was said that Xuening and her group weren’t ordinary people. That demonic beast, if I’m not mistaken, should be a second-level Black Wind Eagle. Only the rich and noble can ride such a beast.”
“It’s a pity they’re leaving, and we might not see them again. We won’t have anyone to provide free medical treatment for the neighbors on this street anymore.”
“…”
As the low-level cultivators discussed this, several figures suddenly appeared in the distance, flying towards them on their swords.
The leader was a massive, obese man, who was the Pavilion Master of Tianning City’s Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Another was an old man with white hair, but a spirited and energetic demeanor. This was the actual controller of Tianning City, the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s Zhao Tianming.
“Wait a moment!”
Zhao Tianming, seeing the Black Wind Eagle about to take off, hastily shouted.
The next moment, the group rushed forward.
These people looked at Su Jingzhen and Xuening with fiery gazes.
Tianning City wasn’t particularly far from Yunmeng City.
The news of the Alchemy Conference had already spread here.
As the first-place winner of the Alchemy Conference, Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s images had already been known to many.
And the Spiritual Medicine Sect, knowing that Xuening was a descendant of the Dantai clan, also knew that the Dantai clan had been hiding in plain sight for many years.
Earlier, when the Black Wind Eagle entered the city, many Spiritual Medicine Sect spies had already seen Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s appearances.
And towards the first-place winner of the Alchemy Conference, these alchemist geniuses, the Spiritual Medicine Sect naturally had many thoughts.
They had previously missed their chance, and when the news from Yunmeng City arrived, Zhao Tianming’s heart was filled with regret.
Now, for Zhao Tianming, this was an opportunity to make up.
