The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 157: Mark, Psychological Shadow

As he practiced the “Python Scales Power”, he discovered that the internal blood energy was actually colliding with the fluctuation in the spider mark on his chest.

It was as if they were some kind of natural enemies.

The wound on his shoulder, where the small spider had bitten him, was bleeding faster than before.

However, the blood that oozed out was a deep purple color, indicating that it was toxic blood.

Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat.

“Does ‘Python Scales Power’ have such an effect?”

He muttered to himself before continuing to practice the technique without pause.

As he did so, he felt the misty aura’s energy surge forward, as if it had become more intense.

The sensation of his skin being cut was still there, but the special energy seemed to be enjoying itself.

Noticing this, Su Jingzhen’s movements became even more serious and intense.

Half an hour later, he had practiced “Python Scales Power” six or seven times.

However, he was disappointed to find that the spider mark on his chest remained unchanged, although its energy waves had been suppressed to an extreme degree.

It seemed as though the toxin had been dormant, unable to be completely eliminated.

“It seems that it is not the Python Scale Power that has an effect on the spider’s toxin, but the special energy in the fog.”

Su Jingzhen spoke to himself, looking at the dense mist.

He quickly realized the key to the situation and became even more determined to uncover the secrets of this mysterious place.

He was no longer overly concerned about the toxin, believing that as long as he could figure out everything, the toxin could be easily eliminated.

As time passed, it was already noon.

In this mysterious place, Su Jingzhen suddenly felt a sense of uncertainty about what to do.

He wanted to leave, but was afraid of the group of large and small spiders outside.

He felt a sense of trepidation, as if he had been bitten by a snake and was now afraid of the well rope.

His heart returned to its initial cautious state, and he became even more vigilant.

Half an hour later, he decided to practice “Python Scales Power” again, but ultimately couldn’t resist the urge to take a look outside.

“I will just take one step out!”

“Even if they’re still guarding outside, if something’s off, I can always come back quickly.”

He muttered to himself before pulling out the black brick again.

He then took a step towards the outside of the mysterious place.

Outside, the familiar thick mist still lingered, but there was no longer any aura of demonic beasts.

All the spiders seemed to have retreated.

Su Jingzhen scratched his head, looking puzzled.

However, if he had seen the giant spider’s gaze when it looked towards the mysterious place, he might have understood.

“Ah, it’s good that they’re gone.”

“I won’t go looking for trouble.”

“As it stands, I’m not strong enough to take on that giant spider head-on, and there’s a risk of becoming its next meal.”

“I’m still developing, so I shouldn’t take unnecessary risks.”

Although he still wanted to verify his ability to purify the demonic beast’s core with his black brick, he wouldn’t consider the giant spider again.

This thing’s power is still too dangerous.

And since he was bitten by the small spider and the spider mark appeared on his chest, he might have lost his qualification to confront the giant spider.

If the giant spider were to reactivate the spider mark and make his powers stagnant at a critical moment, he would truly be a piece of meat on the spider’s chopping block.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen’s mental state suddenly relaxed.

“Although it’s a bit regrettable, I should really head back down the mountain.”

“I’ll wait until I break through to the Golden Core stage before dealing with that giant spider.”

With the Golden Finger in hand, his strength would inevitably increase significantly over time.

As long as he doesn’t die, he’ll be able to crush that giant spider soon enough.

Before he left, he had read those novels about crossers who were invincible and unstoppable.

They didn’t experience any setbacks, and miracles always happened when they wanted them to.

It’s common for the wealthy to take risks, but Su Jingzhen wouldn’t dare to do so.

He would rather take his time and be cautious.

As long as he can achieve his goal, whether it’s early or late, it’s not that important.

But if he doesn’t head back down the mountain, Feng Qingya might get anxious.

After all, it’s almost time for them to set off, and they had agreed to meet up in a few days.

Su Jingzhen made up his mind and didn’t hesitate, deliberately avoiding the area where the giant spider was located.

He had to admit that he, Su Jingzhen, had developed some psychological shadows towards that giant spider.

…

Meanwhile, during the time Su Jingzhen was ascending the mountain, a message was released from the Evil Moon Sect.

This message caused a huge stir among the ordinary cultivators in Linjiang City.

The message was that the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s Pavilion Master had changed, and with the Evil Moon Sect’s influence, Feng Mingyan transmitted a wish to cooperate with all cultivators within the Linjiang City’s sphere of influence.

This matter was also one of the topics discussed by Feng Mingyan and Luo Yuebai on that day in the Grand Hall.

Although Luo Yuebai’s responses to other matters were ambiguous, she didn’t mind giving Feng Mingyan a face-saving answer on this point.

“Who would have thought that the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s Pavilion Master would change?”

“I haven’t even gone up to the second floor yet, and I’ve already forgotten what Feng Qingya’s face looks like.”

“It’s a pity, but Feng Mingyan seems to have come from nowhere.”

“The Evil Moon Sect’s Sect Master in Linjiang City is an absolute beauty.”

“The previous Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s Pavilion Master was also an absolute beauty.”

“If this guy is ugly, would he have the face to be the Pavilion Master here?”

“Just so, although the previous Pavilion Master Feng Qingya wouldn’t give us things out of kindness, but she was a beauty to behold.”

“Just looking at her would make our hearts flutter.”

“…”

Perhaps Feng Mingyan and even Luo Yuebai could not have thought of it.

After this news was released, most of the cultivators in Linjiang City were already quite dissatisfied with Feng Mingyan.

No matter where, sometimes physical appearance can be justice.

And when the cultivators in Linjiang City were still discussing this, Su Jingzhen quietly returned to his small courtyard.

After returning to his room, he looked at the pink spider mark on his chest again.

He felt quite uneasy about this, as the mark seemed to be becoming more prominent after he left the mysterious place.

The energy waves on the mark also became stronger.

After leaving the mysterious place, his internal blood energy seemed to be getting harder to control.

“Not good, having this thing on my body, it’s still making me feel uneasy.”

“I should go ask my master about it.”

After thinking for a moment, Su Jingzhen’s heart was still uneasy.

Since Shen Yifeng, his master, existed, it was natural to use him at this time.

However, before he could leave the courtyard, Feng Qingya was already approaching him.
