The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud
Chapter 42: Another Breakthrough, Quadruple BonusIn the quiet room of the academy.
Su Jingzhen was still in a serious state of alchemy.
Sweat had already formed a thin layer on his forehead.
In just half an hour, he had already consumed ten sets of The Green Spirit Pill’s medicinal materials.
However, since it was his first time refining The Green Spirit Pill, only six pills were successfully refined from the ten sets of materials.
Two sets were completely refined into medicinal dregs, and two sets became inferior products.
Su Jingzhen was slightly dissatisfied.
However, if he were to reveal his refining rate, it would still be astonishing to others.
“Miss Shuang Jiang, I might be refining pills late into the night. If it disturbs you, I’ll move the alchemy furnace to the kitchen.”
Su Jingzhen said to Shuang Jiang while taking out another ten sets of The Green Spirit Pill’s medicinal materials from his storage bag.The Enlightenment Ceremony was just around the corner.
At that time, he would not only have to lead the children of the Enlightenment School but also possibly face Chen Chong.
That guy had the backing of the Huayang Sect, and although he currently had Shuang Jiang’s presence, which made him fearless, he still wanted to rely on his own strength.
After all, Shuang Jiang would eventually leave.
Shuang Jiang lightly shook her head: “It’s okay, you won’t disturb me.”
Someone like Shuang Jiang, if she wanted to do something, wouldn’t even bat an eyelid even if Mount Tai collapsed before her eyes.
Su Jingzhen felt at ease.
His heart returned to its calm state.
It was still the same process as before.
Although he had basically mastered the refining experience of The Green Spirit Pill, Su Jingzhen would still respect every refining process.
The necessary procedures had to be followed.
After all, this might be his lifeline for a long time to come.
Seeing this, Shuang Jiang nodded again on the stone bed.
She was increasingly satisfied with Su Jingzhen’s attitude.
【Emotional Connection+6】
【Remaining usable points: 183】
At this time, when Su Jingzhen entered the refining state, even the changes in emotional connection points didn’t attract his attention.
Ignite, add medicinal materials, control the fire to remove impurities, and merge the medicinal properties…
Before the incense stick had finished burning, the fragrance of the pill was released again.
Su Jingzhen lightly tapped the alchemy furnace, and the refined The Green Spirit Pill flew out.
Su Jingzhen’s mouth curled up into a smile.
After storing it in a jade bottle, he began refining the next pill.
Time passed as Su Jingzhen continued to refine pills at high intensity.
As night fell, Peach Blossom Alley gradually quieted down.
Meanwhile, in the residence next to Su Jingzhen’s, Luo Yuebai’s home, a figure in black clothing was slowly sneaking in.
After that, it seemed to be hiding.
Luo Yuebai sat quietly in his courtyard, holding a folding fan, and gazing at the figures in black clothing that were continuously sneaking in.
At this time, his nose twitched slightly.
“Is that the fragrance of a pill?”
He muttered to himself, and his gaze involuntarily turned towards the academy next door.
“Could it be that Daoist Su is an alchemist? Or is it that the lady is not as simple as rumored? But isn’t it said that she’s a waste with no cultivation?”
He thought to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly, as he considered going to investigate.
After all, the fragrance of the pill had traveled such a distance, which meant that either a high-grade pill had been refined or a large quantity of low-grade pills had been produced in a short time.
Either way, it was not something that should appear in Linjiang City, and it piqued his interest.
As he prepared to fly over the wall, he seemed to have thought of something.
He forced a bitter smile, shaking his head, and chose to give up.
“Never mind, it’s not important. If I get involved, it might get messy.”
He returned to the center of the courtyard, sat down, and continued to gently fan himself, ignoring the silent movements in the courtyard.
……
At the same time, on the stone bed in the quiet room, Shuang Jiang lightly opened her eyes.
She glanced out the window, and a hint of disdain appeared on her face.
“Tsk, tsk…”
Meanwhile, in Su Jingzhen’s alchemy furnace, a sudden hissing sound was heard, followed by the smell of burnt medicine.
After continuously refining twenty more The Green Spirit Pills, he accidentally ruined another set of medicinal materials.
“Ah… I’m getting a bit anxious.”
Su Jingzhen felt a pang of regret.
Adding to the initial ten, he had now refined thirty sets of medicinal materials tonight.
It seemed that he was approaching his limit, where he could no longer focus.
Su Jingzhen knew that if he continued like this, he could still refine more pills, but the success rate couldn’t be guaranteed.
He extinguished the flames in the alchemy furnace and put it back in its original place.
Today, he had consumed thirty sets of medicinal materials and refined twenty-five Green Spirit Pills, with two inferior products.
Su Jingzhen placed a bottle of ten Green Spirit Pills on the bed beside Shuang Jiang.
“I know that a first-grade pill may not have a significant effect on you, Miss Shuang Jiang. But it might still be of some use in critical situations, so please don’t refuse.”
He was being quite considerate.
He also knew Shuang Jiang’s personality, and if he asked her if she wanted it, she would likely mock him.
So, he might as well directly give it to her.
Shuang Jiang’s gaze was fixed, and Su Jingzhen had already said his piece, so she didn’t say much.
She silently nodded.
【Emotional Connection+6】
【Remaining usable points: 189】
The points had arrived as Su Jingzhen had expected.
He was only eleven points away from reaching two hundred, which was one of his current goals.
“There may be many things to do tomorrow, and the Enlightenment Ceremony is the day after tomorrow. I’ll go rest for a while, and I’ve disturbed you enough tonight. You should rest early too.”
Su Jingzhen smiled and said goodbye to Shuang Jiang before leaving the quiet room.
Shuang Jiang didn’t respond to Su Jingzhen’s words.
She lightly touched her cheek, and her clear gaze was filled with a hint of emotion.
“Only two days left… I wonder if there will be results then.”
She murmured to herself, her gaze gradually becoming more intense.
……
A quiet night passed.
The next morning, Su Jingzhen opened his eyes and saw the point changes on the panel, his expression suddenly changing dramatically.
The excitement almost made him jump up.
【495 days left until the host’s Dantian is permanently shattered!】
The constant reminder at the top of the panel didn’t catch Su Jingzhen’s attention.
His gaze was fixed on the point counter.
【Daily Fixed Points: Zhang Xiu: 4, Shuang Jiang: 8】
【Remaining Usable Points: 201】
Shuang Jiang, 8 points!
The points that had directly broken through the 200 mark didn’t shock him as much as he thought they would.
After all, this was something he had already anticipated.
He hurriedly brought up the sub-panel representing Shuang Jiang.
【Emotional Connection with Shuang Jiang: Slight Fondness
Level Bonus: 2x
Cultivation Bonus: 4x!】
Su Jingzhen stood there, stunned.
It was already 4x!
He suddenly felt a dry mouth and tongue.
Looking at Shuang Jiang, who seemed to be just sitting on the stone bed every day…
Was her recovery really that fast?
And what kind of cultivation was this 4x bonus, anyway?
