Chapter 166: Spoils of War
At this time, Su Jingzhen could understand why he was in Luo Yuebai’s residence. After all, before he became unconscious, he had heard the two black-clothed men from the academy call him “Acolyte Su”.
In Linjiang City, only the strong practitioners of the Evil Moon Sect would address him in this manner.
“Acolyte Su, how are you feeling?”
Seeing Su Jingzhen open his eyes, Luo Yuebai’s eyes showed a hint of joy.
“Are you okay?”
Luo Yuebai asked with concern, helping Su Jingzhen sit up.
“I’m fine, I’ve caused trouble for the Sect Master again.”
Su Jingzhen looked around the room, which had a warm and cozy atmosphere, like a small, elegant jade.
It was hard to imagine that the ruthless and decisive Luo Yuebai would have a room with such a style.
At this time, Su Jingzhen’s face also showed a hint of embarrassment.When she heard Su Jingzhen’s words, Luo Yuebai’s face suddenly turned cold and stern.
“Acolyte Su, rest assured that this time, the Evil Moon Sect will not let the matter drop. Since the person who personally took action has already been killed by you, the Sect will definitely investigate and find out who was behind it! Whoever dares to openly challenge us Evil Moon Sect, will be dealt with!”
As she spoke, Luo Yuebai’s tone was filled with endless killing intent.
However, Su Jingzhen’s mouth curled up into a bitter smile.
“The Evil Moon Sect establishing a branch in Linjiang City will certainly make many powers unhappy, as it will harm their interests. They don’t dare to attack you, so they can only target me.”
When she heard this, Luo Yuebai’s face showed a hint of embarrassment.
After all, Su Jingzhen was now in a precarious situation, and it was largely due to her own actions.
Luo Yuebai continued, “However, your performance this time has left me quite surprised. I didn’t expect you to have reached such a level in body refining.”
“If you have any needs in the future feel free to mention them to me. As long as I can obtain resources related to body refining, I’ll provide them to you!”
As she spoke, Luo Yuebai’s eyes were filled with sincerity.
In the environment of cultivating qi, resources for body refining were scarce, but relatively easy to obtain. With the power of the Evil Moon Sect, providing resources for body cultivation was no big deal.
When Su Jingzhen heard this, his eyes lit up. However, he only nodded and didn’t immediately make any requests. He didn’t want to be overly dependent on others.
To him, Luo Yuebai and Feng Qingya were both wealthy patrons. But he didn’t want to be bound to a particular power just because of resources.
He believed in a saying: “What you take, you must return.” The more you accept, the greater the responsibility you bear.
He, Su Jingzhen, had always been cautious and only acted within his means. With the Golden Finger and his alchemy skills, he could easily obtain resources on his own.
What he wanted from Luo Yuebai and the others was just a favor. And if he happened to gain something in the process, he would gladly accept it.
After resting on Luo Yuebai’s bed for nearly an hour, Su Jingzhen recovered some of his strength.
He then returned to his own courtyard. The assassination attempt earlier was an unexpected event.
As for the Blood Qi, as long as he took good care of himself, he could quickly recover. He had experience using Bloodthirst twice in a row.
At this time, Su Jingzhen closed the door, and his face showed a hint of excitement.
Earlier, when talking to Luo Yuebai, he had learned that the assassin who targeted him was quite famous in the assassin world.
And this storage bracelet was taken from the corpse of the assassin, Wandering Butcher.
The guy was already dead, and the personal seal on the bracelet had been erased, so anyone could easily open it.
Although Su Jingzhen didn’t dare to admire the assassin’s appearance, he acknowledged his strength.
He was curious about what was inside the storage bracelet.
As soon as his spiritual sense entered the bracelet, Su Jingzhen’s face lit up with joy.
“Wow, a professional assassin indeed! They’ve prepared so many things!”
As Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, the grey storage bracelet suddenly flashed.
Immediately, four array disks were taken out from inside.
Two of them were black, feeling quite heavy, and seemed to emanate an eerie aura.
The other two were ice-blue, identical to the one he had obtained in Peach Blossom Alley.
They were all engraved with mysterious symbols.
“Just these array disks alone are worth more than many Foundation Establishment cultivators’ entire fortunes!”
Array disks, as long as they weren’t damaged, could be reused.
He knew that these items were much more valuable than talismans.
Adding the one he received in Peach Blossom Alley, he now had a total of five second-grade array disks.
Just like the torrential rain before, they could trap Foundation Establishment cultivators.
He knew that the array disks carried by professional assassins were mostly confinement-type arrays.
For Su Jingzhen, these items were a lifesaver in critical situations.
Apart from the array disks, he also found over a dozen talismans in the storage bracelet.
Their quality was all second-grade, including attack and defense types.
However, the assassin hadn’t had time to use them.
There were also several low-quality swords and daggers, as well as spirit stones that made Su Jingzhen’s eyes widen in surprise.
There were exactly one hundred mid-grade spirit stones and hundreds of low-grade spirit stones.
To know that one hundred mid-grade spirit stones were equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Since crossing over to the cultivation world, he had never seen such a large sum of wealth.
“No wonder this Foundation Establishment stage assassin had such a high success rate!”
Su Jingzhen was amazed, feeling a thrill in his heart.
At this moment, he somewhat understood the joy of those who sought wealth and power through killing and plundering.
It was indeed the fastest and simplest way to get rich, as long as one had good luck and didn’t die.
However, this was something he couldn’t do.
He was afraid of death!
He knew that if you walked by the river, you would eventually get your shoes wet.
After organizing his spoils, Su Jingzhen rested in his room.
Time passed quickly, and a day soon went by.
The next morning, the fixed points arrived as scheduled.
【482 days left until the host’s Dantian is permanently shattered!】
【Daily fixed points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 4, Luo Yuebai: 2】
【Remaining usable points: 67】
And today was the day he was supposed to set out with Feng Qingya!
