Chapter 778: Departure for Zhongzhou
[Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 18, Luo Yuebai: 18, Dantai Xuening: 20, Qiu Yaoyao: 24]
[Points remaining: 7266]
When Su Jingzhen saw Xuening, the daily fixed points arrived as scheduled.
What made his expression turn serious was that Xuening’s daily points had already reached 20!
His expression turned even more stunned, and he quickly brought up Xuening’s sub-menu.
[Emotional Connection with Dantai Xuening: Mutual Affection!]
[Level Bonus: 4x]
[Cultivation Bonus: 5x]
Sure enough, during this alchemy session, Xuening’s cultivation had also advanced, directly reaching the Soul Formation stage!
The cultivation bonus had increased to 5x!
Su Jingzhen was pleasantly surprised. With this, she would now add 20 points each time.
She was now second only to Qiu Yaoyao.
And he believed that with Xuening in this state of continuously refining elixirs, her cultivation growth would only accelerate.
When the time was right and he could fully take Xuening, the emotional connection level would further increase, and she might add several dozen points in one go!
“Brother Su, what’s wrong? It’s only been about a month, and you don’t seem to recognize us anymore?”
Upon seeing Su Jingzhen, Xuening had a hint of excitement on her face and quickly walked over.
Before Su Jingzhen could speak, a golden text appeared in front of his eyes.

[Remaining Available Points: 7326]
After nearly a month of alchemy, to see Su Jingzhen upon her return, the excitement in her heart was indescribable.
She immediately added 60 points in one go.
Seeing the points steadily increasing, Su Jingzhen felt a sense of awe.
It seemed that breaking the 10,000 point mark was just around the corner.
“Once I have 10,000 points, I will be able to open at least four secret repositories.
I don’t know how the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition will be held, but it will surely shock everyone.
Xuan Jin, Xuan Jin, I wonder how strong you have become. If I add more points, I might be able to surprise you.”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
He was well aware of his own strength, but he also knew that with time, all enemies would be eradicated.
With Yan Xia nearby, Xuening maintained her composure, only approaching Su Jingzhen without immediately throwing herself into his arms.
With a flash of light in her hand, various bottles and jars appeared directly in her grasp.
“Brother Su, I have not let you down.
The True Dragon Blood, True Phoenix Blood, and Void Devourer Blood you gave me earlier, I have successfully refined them into the corresponding pills.
These pills can all enhance your blood qi, and they also have some of the characteristics of these three blood types.
For example, the pill refined from Void Devourer’s blood, which I called the Devouring Pill, can temporarily give you some devouring power after you use it.
Not only can it help you absorb the power of Heaven and Earth faster, but you can also use this devouring force during battles to draw your opponent’s power and use it for yourself.
This might have a miraculous effect during battle, but it will probably only last for a few minutes. Brother Su, if you want to use it, you must do so at a critical moment.”
“The other Dragon Vein Pills and Phoenix Vein Pills have similar effects to the previous ones, and the additional abilities should allow your blood qi to temporarily increase by one level.”
Xuening spoke with a hint of excitement as she introduced the pills to them.
However, upon hearing her words, Su Jingzhen and Yan Xia, who stood beside him, showed a look of shock on their faces.
“Little Sister Xuening, the pills you have refined really have such effects?”
It was Yan Xia who spoke first, standing beside her.
She truly hadn’t expected these seemingly ordinary pills to have such extraordinary effects.
Although she didn’t know to what extent Su Jingzhen’s body cultivation had reached, she knew that this guy was absolutely no weaker than herself.
If these pills could give Su Jingzhen such a powerful improvement, wouldn’t they be even more extraordinary for ordinary people?
Xuening smiled at her and replied, “All of this is thanks to Sister Yan Xia’s assistance.
If it weren’t for the special powers of your Water Spirit Saint Body, I wouldn’t have been able to refine them so easily.”
Previously, Xuening had already considered Su Jingzhen to be an excellent partner in refining pills.
She hadn’t expected that a Water Spirit Saint Body like Yan Xia would have an even stronger effect on the success rate of her pill refining.
This gratitude was heartfelt.
Then, she also took out 3 to 4 jade bottles and handed them to Yan Xia.
“Sister Yan Xia, these bottles are for you. They could greatly increase the water attribute power of your Water Spirit Saint Body.
Of course, they should also be used at critical moments that might bring unexpected surprises.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Xia’s face showed a look of pleasant surprise. Without being polite, she took them directly.
These pills were all refined by Xuening with her assistance, and she had witnessed their successful creation firsthand. She hadn’t expected that they were actually prepared for her.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen also put away the bottles in front of him and looked at Xuening with genuine admiration.
“You really are a born alchemist, but I must also congratulate you. At this rate, it probably won’t be long before you step into the Divine Intent Realm.”
As Su Jingzhen spoke, he reached out to ruffle Xuening’s already somewhat disheveled hair.
There was a hint of surprise in Xuening’s expression.
She hadn’t revealed any trace of her Soul Formation stage aura, yet she was unsure how Su Jingzhen had detected it.

After Xuening and Su Jingzhen chatted for a moment, Yan Xia, who was standing nearby, asked again:
“During the alchemy process, we didn’t keep track of the time. It must be close to the start of the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition, right?”
A flash of excitement flickered in Yan Xia’s eyes. With the boost from Xuening’s potions, she was growing increasingly confident about the competition.
Su Jingzhen nodded with a smile: “The timing of your emergence is perfect. If you hadn’t come out today, I would have had to force my way in to interrupt your progress.
Because we might be leaving tomorrow.”
“Big Brother Su, do I really have to go at my current cultivation level?”
As Su Jingzhen finished speaking, a hint of surprise appeared in Xuening’s eyes.
She was only at the stage of Soul Formation, and her combat prowess was indeed lacking.
In her view, accompanying Su Jingzhen would undoubtedly be a burden.
“Of course, this time, the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition might take quite a while.
Even if you don’t participate, at least you can go to Zhongzhou to broaden your horizons.
How could I let you stay here alone for so long?”
As Su Jingzhen said this, Xuening’s eyes lit up again.

[Remaining available points: 7426]
As he finished speaking, another three consecutive boosts arrived.
Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel that the quickest way to gain points was indeed to continuously interact with Xuening and the others.
After Xuening and Yan Xia came out of seclusion, the three of them didn’t wander around aimlessly.
Su Jingzhen somehow procured an 8th grade beast from somewhere in the Heavenly Dragon Race’s territory and once again showcased his culinary skills.
During the process, he managed to trigger five more boosts from Xuening.
[Remaining Available Points: 7526]
The next day, after Su Jingzhen received his fixed daily points, Qiu Yaoyao arrived again.
[Remaining Available Points: 7625]
As soon as he opened his eyes every morning, he would receive 99 points.
This was undoubtedly the source of Su Jingzhen’s good mood every day.
Today, Qiu Yaoyao’s expression was quite serious.
“Stinky Junior Brother, Xuening, are you both ready? We’ll leave today. After we reach Zhongzhou, we’ll take a short rest and then we’ll start the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition.”
Despite her strong confidence, Qiu Yaoyao was still quite serious on this day. This was not only because of the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition, but also because she would inevitably face Xuan Jin this time.
On the way to Heavenly Dragon City, Qiu Yaoyao couldn’t help but ask Su Jingzhen again.
“Stinky Junior Brother, you have to be honest with Sister Yaoyao, what level of cultivation have you reached now?”
Hearing Qiu Yaoyao’s words, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate at all in front of the three girls. He directly released his 7th Layer Body Sovereign Realm Aura.
“Body Sovereign Realm 7th layer, not bad, right?”
It was worth noting that when Su Jingzhen first participated in the Heavenly Dragon Conference, his cultivation was only at the True Embryo 1st layer.
Now, in just over two months, he had advanced nearly two major realms, which was undoubtedly a miraculous growth for anyone.
However, Qiu Yaoyao still frowned.
Reflecting on the past, she was naturally amazed, but in her view, Su Jingzhen’s current Body Sovereign Realm 7th layer strength was still somewhat lacking.
She then asked, “By the way, has your contracted beast, the white python, recovered?”
Although Qiu Yaoyao hadn’t entered the Divine Kingdom, she knew that Su Jingzhen had a highly ranked contracted beast.
She didn’t know where Su Jingzhen had gotten it from, but once Bai Suzhen’s injuries had recovered, even if he was only at the Body Sovereign Realm or even the True Embryo Realm, he could wreak havoc during the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition.
He would even have the confidence to face Xuan Jin.
However, Su Jingzhen regretfully shook his head.
“The injuries from the last time in the Divine Kingdom were too severe. There is still no sign of recovery.”
Pausing for a moment, he added with a smile, “But you don’t need to worry, Sister Yaoyao. You know that my fighting strength has always been disproportionate to my cultivation level.
As for this Four Waters Martial Arts Competition, you can rest assured.
Even if we run into Xuan Jin, I don’t think I’ll be completely powerless.
By the way, do you have any specific information about Xuan Jin’s cultivation level? What level has he reached?”
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen’s tone was filled with unparalleled confidence.
Qiu Yaoyao responded with a slightly helpless tone, “I already told you before, he could fight against a late-stage Celestial Being Realm cultivator three years ago.
Now, after three years, his strength might already have surpassed the Celestial Being Realm.”
She then added, “And I must remind you that there is a Xuan Jin in the Luo River Basin, and there are also figures on par with Xuan Jin in Heng River, Ling River, and Long River.”
As she spoke, Qiu Yaoyao’s tone remained extremely serious.
With equal talents, before reaching the absolute peak, the length of cultivation time is truly an unbridgeable gap.
It’s like her and Xuan Jin, both of them are in the first tier, but Xuan Jin has been cultivating for much longer than her. This time gap was extremely difficult to make up.
In her view, even a genius like Su Jingzhen still had this absolute time gap with Xuan Jin and the others.
After all, in the cultivation world, those who have cultivated a little will have an incredibly long lifespan, and those who are under a thousand years old are still considered to be of the younger generation.
From a certain perspective, it is indeed a bit unfair.
But this is the harsh reality of the world of cultivation.
There will always be young geniuses, but the geniuses of the past will never remain at their peak.
They can only continue to strive and compete.
However, after hearing Qiu Yaoyao’s words, Su Jingzhen blinked a few times before smiling bitterly:
“The gap is indeed quite large, but until you really get involved, who can predict the final outcome?”
His points have already exceeded 7,000. If he can truly unlock four Body Secret Repositories, he might reach the level of a Flesh Immortal.
At that level, his realm would be comparable to that of the Celestial Being Realm.
At that time, who knows to what extent his combat power could reach, and who would emerge victorious?
Besides, he still has Little Green, Su Tuntun, and their help. His trump cards cannot be measured by conventional standards.
Upon hearing his words, Qiu Yaoyao and the other two women silently nodded their heads.

【Remaining Available Points: 7713】
At this moment, the two women gave him a double boost.
In the midst of this casual conversation, the four of them arrived back at the main square of Heavenly Dragon City.
At this time, the major forces participating in this Four Waters Martial Arts Competition had already gathered here.
After Su Jingzhen refused the challenge for the past two days, although the crowd still cast glances at them, most of those glances were filled with contempt.
They no longer paid much attention to Su Jingzhen.
Su Jingzhen was secretly happy,
This way, he could remain low-key for a while longer.
The Four Waters Martial Arts Competition is a major event in the Four Waters Basin, so this time, in addition to the leaders of the first-class forces, the Heavenly Dragon Race would also be personally led by the Heavenly Dragon Lord.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon Lord, the head of Dongxuan Academy, the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the leader of the Earth Fiend Sect, and the head of the Mu Family were all standing together.
After each of these leaders spoke for a long time, the crowd began to move away from the central square.
They were heading toward the Super Teleportation Array of Heavenly Dragon City.
Even though the Heavenly Dragon Race of the Luo River Basin was the closest to Zhongzhou, they still had to rely on the teleportation array to reach Zhongzhou.
Moreover, an ordinary teleportation array wouldn’t suffice; it had to be a cross-realm super teleportation array.
“I’ve only been in the Luo River Basin for a little over two months, and now I have to go to Zhongzhou. This progress is much faster than I imagined.
But the faster the progress, the faster the cultivation seems to grow.
I wonder if I will see my sister-in-law Zhang Xiu and Shuang Jiang in Zhongzhou.”
Standing on the Super Teleportation Array and feeling the spatial fluctuations around him, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel a sense of emotion.
The two most important benefactors in his life, Zhang Xiu and Shuang Jiang, might be reunited with him in Zhongzhou.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel both excited and anticipatory.
“Zhongzhou, I, Su Jingzhen, am coming…”
