The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 160: Failure

As long as Su Jingzhen didn’t go to Clear Wind Mountain, his days would be peaceful.

After getting used to the beauty of Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai, even though he had spare spirit stones, he didn’t want to go to the Flower Moon Pavilion to show off.

After all, in his opinion, as his cultivation and status improved, his taste should also improve accordingly.

He was also qualified to say, “I’d rather eat one immortal peach than a basket of rotten apricots.”

Even now, if he wanted to solve some problems, the six maids in his courtyard, including Qiu Yue, could help.

Even Yan Xia could be taken down at any time.

The beauty of these six maids was far superior to most of the girls at the Flower Moon Pavilion.

The only thing that made him regretful was that he didn’t catch a satisfactory demon beast on this trip to Clear Wind Mountain.

It seemed that he wouldn’t be able to use the demon beast’s blood energy to supplement his cultivation for the next two days.

The next morning, when he opened his eyes, he saw the golden characters floating in front of him again.

?Days until the host’s Dantian is permanently shattered: 483!?

?Fixed points per day: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 4, Luo Yuebai: 2?

?Remaining usable points: 34?

The fixed points arrived as scheduled.

Now, with 25 points per day, he would be able to accumulate enough points to open the Zhongwan acupoint in just over ten days.

At that time, he wouldn’t need to worry about the Pink Poison Woman’s toxins anymore.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Su Jingzhen tidied up his appearance and planned to stroll around Linjiang City today.

He wanted to see what Linjiang City had become now.

As soon as he pushed open the door and walked out of the room, he suddenly furrowed his brows.

He smelled a strong bloody odor.

But it was only for an instant, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He saw that Feng Qingya was already standing in his courtyard, looking lovely.

And at Feng Qingya’s feet was a six or seven-meter-long black giant serpent.

Or rather, it was the corpse of a giant serpent, and the bloody smell was coming from there.

The giant serpent had clearly just died, and its body still had a strong demonic aura lingering around it.

Moreover, the level of that aura was even stronger than the black wind leopard he had killed before, reaching the second level.

Before he could ask, Feng Qingya laughed and said, “I went to Clear Wind Mountain with Mu Lao this morning.”

“But after searching around, we only found this black rock serpent.”

“However, it’s said that the meat of this long worm is even more delicious than that of ordinary demon beasts.”

“The ingredients are provided by Qingya, and now it’s up to Master Su’s culinary skills.”

As she said this, Feng Qingya’s eyes sparkled.

Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but smile, and it was clear that the meat of the black wind leopard had already completely conquered Feng Qingya.

As for this matter, Su Jingzhen was extremely pleased.

Previously, he had been regretful about not catching a demon beast, but now Feng Qingya had made up for his regret.

He didn’t hesitate and directly walked over to lift the corpse of the black rock serpent and headed towards the kitchen.

As he passed by the residences of the maids, their eyes suddenly lit up.

The six maids gathered at the kitchen door.

“Is the demon beast’s crystal core still there?”

As he entered the kitchen, Su Jingzhen prepared to start dissecting the serpent, and only then did he see that the serpent’s body had only a fatal sword wound on its neck.

The rest of its body was intact.

Feng Qingya smiled, “Mu Lao only killed it and didn’t do any special processing, so the crystal core is still there.”

As she said this, Feng Qingya’s eyes had a hint of expectation.

This time, bringing back a complete second-level demon beast wasn’t just about satisfying their hunger.

Su Jingzhen’s previous purification of the demon beast crystal core had shocked her deeply.

Her main goal was to see how Su Jingzhen would purify the demon beast crystal core and remove the violent intent within.

Feng Qingya directly said, “To be honest, I’m very curious about Master Su’s method of handling demon beast crystal core.”

“If possible, could you satisfy my small wish?”

As she said this, her eyes were full of expectation.

However, Su Jingzhen’s brows furrowed.

He might not mind satisfying Feng Qingya’s other requests, but this one, he really couldn’t fulfill.

After all, he himself hadn’t even confirmed whether the demon beast crystal core could be purified by the black brick.

Even if it could be purified, he couldn’t let Feng Qingya know.

After all, this brick was something Feng Qingya had sold to him cheaply.

If she knew about its incredible ability, it might lead to unnecessary conflicts.

Although Feng Qingya’s emotional connection with him had reached the level of Slight Fondness, he would never forget that she was first and foremost a shrewd businesswoman.

So he wouldn’t take this risk.

With an apologetic smile, he said, “Miss Feng, please understand that every cultivator has some secrets they don’t want to reveal.”

“I’m no exception.”

“So, I’m afraid I can’t satisfy your request.”

He spoke with utmost sincerity.

The two of them locked eyes for a few seconds, and then Feng Qingya nodded.

“I was too abrupt.”

After saying this, she didn’t hesitate and turned to leave the kitchen, closing the door behind her.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate either and directly took out the black brick.

Perhaps today he could finally verify whether this brick had such an effect.

But in reality, he didn’t know how to do it.

First, he took the black brick and gently tapped it on the black rock serpent’s head a few times.

Then, he used the sharp part of the black brick as a tool and sliced open the serpent’s head, aiming for the crystal core.

The demon beast crystal core of this black rock serpent was the size of a thumb.

It was indeed larger than the one from the black wind leopard, almost twice as big.

However, when he took it out, it still had a violent intent on it.

No matter how he rubbed the crystal core on the black brick, it still didn’t have any effect.

Su Jingzhen was suddenly stunned.

“Why didn’t it work?”

“Could it be that the last time was just a coincidence, or does the black brick need to personally kill the demon beast to work?”

At this moment, Su Jingzhen was somewhat at a loss.

But he didn’t think about it too much, and quickly put away the black brick.

He gestured to Feng Qingya outside the door, indicating that she could come in.

Feng Qingya pushed open the door and entered, her eyes still filled with anticipation.

“Master Su, did you succeed?”

In response to Feng Qingya’s expectation, Su Jingzhen shook his head helplessly.

“I failed.”

“It seems that the demon core of a second-level demon beast is indeed much harder to refine than a first-level one.”

He could only make excuses like this.

As for the black brick’s ability, he would have to personally go and kill one or two demon beasts to verify it when he got the chance.

Feng Qingya received the second-level demon core that Su Jingzhen tossed over.

It still radiated a fierce and violent aura.

Her eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
