Chapter 543: Natural Illusion Array
Su Jingzhen’s goal was only the spiritual vein.
As for the potential treasure vault that might exist within the Peerless Sect, he was completely uninterested.
Even though the Peerless Sect was considered a top power in the Qingzhou region, to him, it was just another entity.
After all, he had already harvested more than enough of such treasures in the ruins of the Dantai Family.
By the time the stars filled the sky, Su Jingzhen had already left Peerless City.
He arrived at the top of a desolate, uninhabited mountain.
Bai Suzhen had returned to her true form as a white python.
The two of them intently watched the roasted meat sizzling on a wooden rack over the fire in front of them.
Behind them, numerous black spikes were tossed to the side.
The roasted meat on the rack was unmistakably the black hedgehog that Su Jingzhen had killed in the Peerless Sect.“It should be cooked by now, although it’s okay if it’s a little raw to preserve the original flavor.”
Bai Suzhen couldn’t help but ask as she watched Su Jingzhen skillfully sprinkle various spices on the roasted meat, the aroma wafting out.
Hearing Bai Suzhen’s words, Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into a smile. “It’s almost ready, almost ready.
Suzhen, you’re even less patient than me.
In my hometown, there’s a saying: ‘Haste makes waste.
We’ve waited this long, what’s a few more minutes?”
With that, Su Jingzhen continued to sprinkle spices on the large piece of roasted meat.
As an experienced alchemist, he was familiar with the properties of many of the medicinal herbs stored in his spatial ring.
Some inferior herbs could serve perfectly as seasonings.
In fact, the taste of these spiritual herbs was infinitely better than many of the seasonings he was familiar with.
As Su Jingzhen opened the last bottle and sprinkled a handful of herbal powder, a substitute for cumin, he took the roasted meat off the rack.
It was golden and extremely tempting.
Su Jingzhen’s mouth watered incessantly.
This was a fifth grade great demon, and he was tasting it for the first time.
A sharp white light flashed, and the roasted meat on the rack was divided into a large and a small portion.
The larger piece was sucked directly into her mouth.
“Not bad, not bad. I didn’t expect you to have such a skill.
There’s still a lot of meat on this thing, hurry up and keep frying!”
Su Jingzhen wasn’t sure if Bai Suzhen’s hasty method of swallowing the meat whole allowed her to enjoy the specific flavors.
However, Bai Suzhen was not stingy with her praise for him.
Su Jingzhen quickly swallowed his portion to avoid being snatched by Bai Suzhen.
Then he turned around, cut off another large piece of meat from the black hedgehog, and started roasting it again.
It was obvious that this simple method of roasting meat had already captivated Bai Suzhen.
Before dawn, the massive body of the black hedgehog was nearly finished.
However, ten out of the nine pieces were consumed by Bai Suzhen.
Su Jingzhen had already started practicing the Python Scale Technique next to her.
After all, the black hedgehog was a fifth-tier great demon, and its flesh contained an incredibly powerful blood qi.
Even though his current realm was mainly enhanced by opening the secret repository of the human body,
He still wanted to improve himself through his own efforts if given the opportunity.
As he continuously unfolded the movements of the Python Scale Power, the blood qi in the black hedgehog’s flesh was catalyzed.
He could clearly feel the refinement of the blood qi in his body.
Although it wasn’t enough to immediately break through to the fifth layer of the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo, there was a noticeable progress.
“If I can eat a few more great demons of this level, I believe I will soon be able to break through to the sixth level of the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo without having to rely on opening the Secret Repository of the human body through points.” Ṛ
As Su Jingzhen thought this, he slowly stopped practicing.
At that moment, a faint light of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon.
“Let’s go, let’s go. Next stop, next stop.
Most spiritual veins are guarded by spirit beasts.
This guy’s taste was really good. I wonder if we can encounter other kinds of beasts.”
At this time, Bai Suzhen was actively urging them on.
In the early stages of a beast’s cultivation, most of them would directly devour other weaker beasts to improve their own cultivation.
Bai Suzhen was no exception.
Throughout her growth, she had consumed countless beasts of lower rank than herself.
But back then, she usually ate them raw.
How could she have experienced Su Jingzhen’s way of eating?
This little barbecue clearly opened her taste buds.
It restored some of her original desires and memories.
However, Su Jingzhen did not immediately react to Bai Suzhen at that moment.
Once again, a line of small golden characters appeared before his eyes.
The Daily Fixed Points arrived as scheduled.
【Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 15, Luo Yuebai: 15, Dantai Xuening: 12】
【Remaining Available Points: 1321】
Now that Feng Qingya’s level had reached the fifth level of Deep Affection, his daily fixed points had reached sixty-one.
As such, he didn’t need to do anything and would have enough points to open the Yintang Acupoint by the day after tomorrow.
Then Su Jingzhen smiled slightly at Bai Suzhen: “Wait a minute, there’s still one thing left on this creature that hasn’t been collected yet.”
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand and he pulled out a long sword from his spatial ring.
He then ripped open the already mangled head of the black hedgehog and pulled out an egg-sized oval beast core.
The energy inside was extremely pure, and just like before, the wild intent of the beast had been completely purified.
The moment he took out the beast core, Bai Suzhen’s sapphire blue eyes showed a hint of surprise.
“Wait, why does this beast soul look so strange?”
A wave of white energy swept across Bai Suzhen’s forehead.
The next moment, the Beast Core appeared in front of Bai Suzhen.
“Not a trace of the beast’s ferocity, not a single thought from that creature? How could you do that?
No matter what kind of beast it is, its core wouldn’t be this pure after death.”
Su Jingzhen had expected Bai Suzhen’s reaction.
But at this moment, he didn’t have anything to hide and took out the black brick directly.
“Maybe it’s still the power of this black brick.
I don’t know the exact reason.”
After all, Bai Suzhen had already seen the black brick directly collect the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix.
Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that it had the ability to purify the Beast Core.
Upon hearing his explanation, Bai Suzhen’s sapphire blue eyes showed another hint of shock.
Her gaze was fixed on the black brick in Su Jingzhen’s hand.
After a long time, she sighed again: “I really don’t know how lucky you were to get this thing.”
At this moment, Bai Suzhen could only sigh.
Even as powerful as she was, she couldn’t find any other explanation.”Take care of it.After all, it’s the Beast Core of a Fifth Class Great Demon.
In this pure state, when the time comes, you can directly absorb it without any worries.”
Of course, Bai Suzhen understood what such a pure energy core was.
Su Jingzhen put the beast core away, and Bai Suzhen transformed back into the belt and wrapped around Su Jingzhen’s waist.
The two of them set off again.
………
To the north of Peerless Sect, less than a thousand li away, lies a swamp in Qingzhou.
Hidden in this swamp is a top tier sect, the Tortoise Sect!
This time, Su Jingzhen’s destination was right here.
“The Immovable Tortoise Seal formed by those two old guys was quite formidable.
And the Tortoise Sect has two Soul Formation level cultivators, making them a small but powerful presence in the Qingzhou region.
I hope the spiritual vein here won’t disappoint me.”
At dawn, Su Jingzhen had already arrived at the edge of the swamp.
Looking inside, the place was shrouded in a thick fog, quite mysterious.
From within the mist, the occasional roar of beasts could be heard.
Clearly, this was a strategically advantageous and hard-to-attack treasure trove.
Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and flew straight in with his sword.
At present, he was brimming with absolute confidence in his own strength.
Moreover, the two Soul Formation level cultivators of the Tortoise Sect had already perished in the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, so there was nothing to fear.
As he ventured deeper into the swamp, he could feel the spiritual energy getting denser and denser.
This excited him greatly, but when he expanded his divine consciousness to probe further, his brow furrowed.
At that moment, he realized that his divine consciousness couldn’t penetrate the fog.
He could only sense a distance of less than ten zhang.
“Well, this mist serves as a natural barrier for the Tortoise Sect.
It seems like it won’t be easy to find the location of their sect.”
Su Jingzhen stood on a small island in the swamp.
Looking around, he saw nothing but the swirling mist.
It seemed to be a natural illusion field, and for a moment, he didn’t know which way to go.
“Suzhen, we are quite pressed for time.
If I rely on myself alone, it might take a long time to break through this natural illusion field and find the Tortoise Sect.
Please guide me in the right direction.”
Although this should be considered a pretty good training opportunity for Su Jingzhen, it was a critical time, and he didn’t want to waste time trying to find his way.
At that moment, Bai Suzhen directly replied to him.
“There’s no need to rush. Take a good look at the small island you’re standing on.”
