Chapter 366: Changes in the Dan Hall, Spirit Cultivation!
Chapter 366: Changes in the Dan Hall, Spirit Cultivation!
“It seems that Clear Wind Mountain has become increasingly lively,” Su Jingzhen thought to himself after bidding farewell to Luo Yuebai.
He practiced Python Scales Power in his courtyard, but the effect was still not as good as practicing in that peculiar location.
After finishing, Su Jingzhen’s mind returned to its usual tranquility.
He gazed in the direction of Clear Wind Mountain, once again feeling contemplative.
Even without venturing into Clear Wind Mountain, he could tell that there were significantly more people who had ascended today.
However, he had no intention of joining the commotion or leaving the vicinity of the Evil Moon Sect.
After all, Yan Xia had not left anything behind on Clear Wind Mountain.
There was no need to needlessly put himself in danger.
Currently, Su Jingzhen’s circumstances were improving, and he had already thoroughly conquered Luo Yuebai.
All that was left was to deepen their feelings and elevate their empathy level once more.In this state, he grew stronger with each passing day.
He would never take any risk unless it was necessary.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen gathered his blood energy in his legs.
He channeled his blood energy once more, following the path of the Netherworld Ghostly Technique.
He did not use Bloodthirst.
With a single step, he leaped forward four to five feet, but he still could not condense a residual image without Bloodthirst’s assistance.
It was challenging to execute Phantom Step with his current strength alone. Nevertheless, Su Jingzhen remained calm and continued to practice.
During this period, he had nothing else to do and could immerse himself in practice. However, some matters would actively seek him out.
After Su Jingzhen had practiced ‘The Netherworld Ghost Technique’ for nearly an hour and was gradually finding his rhythm, maidservant Qiu Yue suddenly appeared at the entrance of his courtyard.
“Young Master, Mo Bei requests an audience,” she announced.
Su Jingzhen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Mo Bei, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, could only communicate with Su Jingzhen through the maidservants. Without an invitation, he did not have the qualifications to enter Su Jingzhen’s courtyard.
Su Jingzhen had not yet spoken when Qiu Yue added, “Mo Bei says it’s urgent.”
Su Jingzhen nodded, feeling intrigued. He did not allow Qiu Yue to lead the way and instead went directly to the main entrance.
At that moment, Mo Bei’s expression appeared anxious.
Upon seeing Su Jingzhen, he immediately knelt with one knee and greeted him, “I pay my respects to the Chief Acolyte. There’s been an incident at the Dan Hall, and the sect master has sent me to notify you to hurry over.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s expression changed, and he felt extremely puzzled.
Under ordinary circumstances, Luo Yuebai would probably come personally to find him.
However, this time, Mo Bei had been sent instead, which indicated that the situation might be extremely urgent.
“Is there any specific news?” Su Jingzhen asked subconsciously.
Mo Bei shook his head. Seeing this, Su Jingzhen did not say anything more and directly threw out his long sword, commanding his sword to head towards the Dan Hall.
In recent days, the most crucial department of their Yunmeng City faction might be this newly acquired Dan Hall. As the Dan Hall’s master, Su Jingzhen had to go and take a look, no matter what.
Given the significance of the Water Spirit Saint Body, no power would feel secure without personally examining it.
During this process, there might be many top-tier forces that Su Jingzhen had never encountered before, emerging to manipulate their Dan Hall.
After all, except for the Flowing Wind Sword Sect, Spirit Sound Valley, and Lingxiu Pavilion, the other top-tier forces outside of the Yunmeng City faction were only familiar with their names.
They didn’t pay any attention to Su Jingzhen.
It is very possible that they will come to cause trouble like the Free and Unfettered Sect did last time.
Although the Dan Hall was close to Shen Yifeng, if several top-tier forces joined hands and attacked simultaneously, even if Shen Yifeng was fearless, he would still be overwhelmed.
The strongest individuals at the Dan Hall were only at the Golden Core stage, while most of the alchemists had lower combat power. If one or two three- or four-grade alchemists were taken away or killed, it would be an unbearable loss for Su Jingzhen.
Moreover, Xuening was still there.
Even the slightest mishap against Xuening was unacceptable for Su Jingzhen.
While contemplating this, Su Jingzhen’s sword speed increased significantly.
Soon, Dan Hall’s newly constructed building appeared in his line of sight.
At this moment, Shen Yifeng was standing in the void above the Dan Hall.
A crowd had gathered in the central square of the Dan Hall.
Luo Yuebai, Xuening, and Zhao Tianming were present.
Su Jingzhen saw that several key figures were safe and sound, and his heart relaxed.
He immediately approached Luo Yuebai.
“What’s going on?” Su Jingzhen asked, feeling slightly confused.
“Just now, Dan Hall was attacked by someone. Over a hundred cultivators are in a daze, indicating that they have suffered a rare spiritual attack,” Luo Yuebai said, furrowing her brows.
Su Jingzhen was taken aback.
“Spirit Cultivation?”
He recalled Shuang Jiang mentioning Spirit Cultivation before.
It’s as difficult as Body Cultivation in today’s environment.
They share the same level of difficulty.
Initially, Shuang Jiang even gave him a Spirit Cultivation technique called ‘Divine Wandering’. However, he never attempted to practice it, following Shuang Jiang’s advice to ‘taste everything but not get full’.
Both Spirit and Body Cultivation are rare in the current environment.
He didn’t expect to encounter a Spirit Cultivation enemy in the Dan Hall.
Moreover, the enemy evaded Shen Yifeng’s initial pursuit.
Their cultivation must be formidable.
Before Su Jingzhen could respond, Luo Yuebai added, “We are clueless about Spirit Cultivation. These hundreds of Dan Hall disciples have suffered mental attacks, and it is difficult for us to save them.”
Her tone contained a hint of sighing.
Ever since the establishment of the Linjiang Branch, she knew that developing the sect would involve countless setbacks and various challenges.
She was mentally prepared. But when such events occurred, she couldn’t help but feel angry.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen didn’t respond. Instead, he gazed upon the hundred cultivators in the square.
Indeed, their eyes were hollow, and their expressions were dazed.
Most of them were first-level cultivators, with a few reaching the second level. Their cultivation was primarily in the Qi-refining Stage.
“The enemy is not just an ordinary Spirit Cultivator. Their expertise in Spirit Cultivation might not be high,”
Su Jingzhen thought.
Since the enemy dared to attack the Dan Hall, they were certainly hostile.
If he were to do this, he would naturally try his best to destroy the most important person of the enemy.
However, the hidden Spirit Cultivator didn’t have this ability. They could only target these Qi-refining Stage cultivators to annoy the Linjiang Branch.
Su Jingzhen analyzed the situation and concluded that the enemy’s cultivation level in Qi refinement was inferior to Shen Yifeng’s.
The Spirit Cultivation was merely an attempt to annoy them.
“Sect Leader, does our Linjiang Branch or the main sect have any experts in Spirit Cultivation?
Given the state of these cultivators, the enemy’s proficiency in Spirit Cultivation should be low.
If we have someone skilled in Spirit Cultivation, we might be able to save them,” Su Jingzhen suggested.
It would be a pity to let these guys die who already had a foundation in alchemy.
When there were outsiders around, Su Jingzhe addressed Luo Yuebai with great respect.
It is naturally impossible for ordinary people to see the relationship between the two of them.
After a pause, Su Jingzhen added, “Moreover, this could be a test from the hidden enemy.
If we can’t resolve the issue with these cultivators, our other disciples in the Linjiang Branch might also be targeted with spiritual attacks.”
Hearing this, Luo Yuebai’s expression became more solemn. She had considered this possibility but shook her head.
“Spirit Cultivation is already rare. The main sect has some practitioners, but the Linjiang Branch has none.
When I established this branch and the competition with Zou Zeyu began, the main sect wouldn’t help either of us.
This was predetermined.
As for the Qingzhou region, there are still some Spirit Cultivators, but finding them right away is impossible.”
Luo Yuebai’s tone was slightly dispirited. She continued, “Perhaps we can try using spiritual medicine.”
With the resources of the Spiritual Medicine Sect and the inheritance from Dantiai Xuening, Luo Yuebai felt a glimmer of hope.
“Sect Master, please don’t worry. I will try to resolve this issue.
But for now, our priority should be finding the person behind the scenes.
Once we capture the hidden Spirit Cultivator, all problems will be solved,” Su Jingzhen said, noticing Luo Yuebai’s slightly disturbed emotions.
Luo Yuebai nodded in response.

[Remaining points: 1093]
Luo Yuebai’s emotions changed slightly, but she sighed, “Even Third Grandpa arrived here first and didn’t notice the Spirit Cultivator’s presence.
Capturing him won’t be easy.
Perhaps we’ll have to wait for his next move.
But if we just stand here now, unless he is a fool, I am afraid he will not show up again.”
Luo Yuebai revealed a wry smile.
Su Jingzhe didn’t say anything else.
However, he silently retrieved the information about the Spirit Cultivation technique ‘Divine Wandering’ that he had stored in his memory.
