The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 115: Feng Qingya’s Request

Su Jingzhen had already tried out this furnace before.

The feel of it was naturally better than his own, not just by a little.

The intricate fire-control runes engraved on it were more complex, making it more convenient for controlling fire.

Moreover, the flames produced by the Black Mountain furnace’s array were stronger than his own.

He even felt that, during alchemy, the Black Mountain could be used as a furnace, and during battles, it could be used as a magical tool.

The Breaking Through Adversity Pill, although precious, was not as extraordinary as this Black Mountain furnace.

Three Breaking Through Adversity Pills might be valuable, but they couldn’t compare to this Black Mountain furnace.

A good horse deserves a good saddle; a sharp knife doesn’t cut firewood.

When it came to furnaces, since there was a better choice, Su Jingzhen naturally didn’t want to settle for something inferior.

This was unlike his previous choice between the storage ring and the storage bracelet.

Storage-type spiritual artifacts only required sufficient space; whether it was a ring, bracelet, or bag, it was all the same.

Su Jingzhen’s gaze turned back to Feng Qingya: “These three Breaking Through Adversity Pills are far from enough to buy this Black Mountain furnace.”

“What else does Miss Feng have to request? Please go ahead and ask.”

“If the debt of gratitude is too great, I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear it.”

Su Jingzhen was very aware of this point and had always done well in this regard.

Feng Qingya’s expression revealed a hint of surprise: “Why can’t it be a gift without any reason?”

“Does Master Su think that Qingya is only motivated by self-interest?”

Regarding this question, Su Jingzhen nodded without hesitation.

“Miss Feng is first and foremost a merchant.”

As soon as he said this, Feng Qingya’s smile grew even more radiant.

It seemed that she had gained even more admiration for Su Jingzhen.

?Emotional Connection +2]

?Remaining usable points: 152?

At this time, her emotional change was naturally reflected in the points.

Before Su Jingzhen could respond, Feng Qingya continued: “Do you remember the request I made last time I came?”

“I need Master Su’s help with something.”

At this time, Feng Qingya’s face still wore that charming smile, but she no longer actively tried to seduce Su Jingzhen.

Her expression revealed a hint of seriousness.

Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

“It’s not that I’m unwilling to help, but you, Miss Feng, haven’t told me what you want me to do, so I’m really unsure.”

“Now that I’ve successfully advanced to the second rank, I suppose you should tell me what this favor is about.”

Regarding Feng Qingya’s request, Su Jingzhen had naturally anticipated it.

Since the two of them had already established an emotional connection, with no hostility between them, he knew that he and Feng Qingya were destined to be more deeply entangled.

So, Feng Qingya’s urgent request, he would likely have to help, but how to maximize his own benefits from this favor was a delicate matter.

If it was just a matter of helping with alchemy or something, Su Jingzhen wouldn’t have any issues.

Using this to exchange for the Black Mountain furnace, no matter how you looked at it, he would come out on top.

However, if it involved something that put his life in danger, no matter how good the reward was, he wouldn’t agree to it.

So, for Su Jingzhen at this point, helping was possible, but he had to clarify the content.

Although he wore a faint smile, his attitude was quite firm.

Feng Qingya gazed at him quietly for a few seconds before nodding.

Her expression then turned serious again.

“Actually, the favor I want to ask of Master Su is quite simple. I just want you to refine a pill, of course, in collaboration with others!”

Before Su Jingzhen could speak, she continued: “I’m sure Master Su has already noticed that my identity is not just that of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s manager in Linjiang City.”

“In the Qingzhou region’s Treasure Gathering Pavilion, there are five major families. My family, the Feng family, is one of them, and I am one of the direct disciples of the current generation.”

Although Su Jingzhen had long suspected that Feng Qingya’s identity was not simple, he hadn’t expected it to be this complex!

For most cultivators, the Qingzhou region was already the highest level of region they could access in their lifetime.

The Treasure Gathering Pavilion undoubtedly held immense power in the entire cultivation world.

As a direct disciple of one of the five major families in the Qingzhou region’s Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Feng Qingya’s identity seems to be described as a proud daughter of heaven.

No wonder Feng Qingya had been able to intimidate the Nascent Soul old monster Jiuchi with just a single token bearing the Feng family crest on the square that day.

However, upon hearing Feng Qingya’s words, Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with doubts.

“Miss Feng, your identity is indeed noble, something I had never expected. But precisely because of this, would there be something you want to do that you can’t?”

To put it bluntly, he, Su Jingzhe, is just a second-grade alchemist.

Apart from Shuang Jiang, who had already left and whose identity was unknown, he didn’t have any background or connections.

Even now, he had only just reached the level of Foundation Establishment cultivators in terms of his Body Cultivation.

But in front of the mighty Feng family, he was probably just an insignificant ant.

Upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s doubts, Feng Qingya’s face revealed a bitter smile.

“It’s true, but how did I, a direct disciple of the Feng family, end up as the manager of a lowly Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Linjiang City?”

Feng Qingya’s words were a rhetorical question, but also a form of self-mockery.

As soon as she spoke, Su Jingzhen’s expression changed slightly.

Any major family had internal conflicts, and even direct disciples could become sacrificial pawns.

He didn’t need to ask to know that Feng Qingya’s situation was likely complicated.

Relying on family power might make her identity unmatched and her resources unparalleled.

But if one only had this identity, but was stripped of all resources, that would be truly pitiful.

Before Su Jingzhen could respond, Feng Qingya continued: “My situation is very complicated, so I won’t bother explaining it all to Master Su.”

“You only need to know that I’m just a name, nothing more.”

“Perhaps Master Su will understand why I’ve come to you.”

Su Jingzhen nodded silently.

If one only had the identity of a core disciple, but lacked the matching resources, then this title would be a mockery.

At the same time, his expression turned serious, as if Feng Qingya had already lost her standing within the Feng family.

If he helped her, wouldn’t he also be accompanied by danger?

But when this thought came to his mind, he smiled bitterly.

Damn it, this matter has not even started yet.

He is here worrying about gains and losses, looking ahead and behind.

It is indeed unworthy of the identity of a transmigrator.

He immediately asked again: “Is it really just refining a pill?”
