Chapter 170: Tianning City
Feng Qingya and Su Jingzhe did not continue to talk too much.
Feng Qingya then directly entered a state of cultivation.
No matter what, she had to recover to her peak state first.
Su Jingzhen silently stood guard beside her.
An hour later, Feng Qingya had returned to her peak state.
At this time, her face had regained its previous charming smile.
It was as if all the gloom brought by Feng Mingyan had completely dissipated.
“Master Su, let’s continue our journey.”
“We still have a long way to go, and I hope we can reach our destination before nightfall.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen nodded.He didn’t ask any more questions.
Feng Qingya then took out the purple silk ribbon again.
The two of them began their journey once more.
This time, Su Jingzhen didn’t continue to cultivate on the ribbon, instead gazing down at the mountains and rivers below.
In the past two years, he hadn’t left Linjiang City.
So, even though he knew the cultivation world was vast, he didn’t have a concrete concept of it.
Below them were mountains, rivers, and vast wilderness.
Even flying high in the air, Su Jingzhen could sense that there were occasional bursts of demonic energy emanating from the dense forest below.
While there were many cultivators, most of them gathered in cities established by various factions.
In these wilderness areas, there were more ferocious demonic beasts.
If a Foundation Establishment cultivator or below wanted to take the route they were taking, it would be a perilous journey with a high risk of death.
Along the way, they would stop to rest for a while every hour or so.
Finally, as the sun began to set, they saw a city appear before their eyes.
This city was much larger than Linjiang City.
However, the city before them was different from what Su Jingzhen had imagined.
As they journeyed, he had learned that their destination was Yunmeng City, one of the major cities in Qingzhou!
Yunmeng City was extremely famous.
The main sect of the Huayang School was located here, and other sects had also established their branches here.
The Feng family’s main base was also located in Yunmeng City.
It was one of the cities in Qingzhou where martial arts flourished the most.
Although Su Jingzhen had never been there, he knew that Yunmeng City shouldn’t be as small as the city before their eyes.
“Miss Feng, isn’t our destination supposed to be Yunmeng City? Where is this place?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingya’s lips curled up into a smile.
“Don’t you remember what I told you earlier, Master Su? You need to help an alchemist, and we need to pick up the other person before heading to Yunmeng City.”
“Before the Alchemist Convention, you two can also get familiar with each other.”
…
“Tianning City!”
The two of them soon arrived at the city gate.
Seeing the large characters on the city wall, Su Jingzhen’s eyes lit up with understanding.
Tianning City, he had heard of it.
There was a sect here called the Spiritual Medicine Sect!
As its name suggested, it was a faction that specialized in alchemy and medicine.
“Miss Feng, could it be that our destination, or the person I’m supposed to collaborate with, is from the Spiritual Medicine Sect?”
Feng Qingya didn’t respond to Su Jingzhen’s question, instead revealing a mysterious smile.
She then led him into Tianning City.
Feng Qingya’s beauty and aura were so captivating that she would attract attention wherever she went.
However, on the streets of Tianning City, Su Jingzhen felt many unfriendly gazes upon him.
Traveling with a beauty always attracted jealousy.
In Tianning City, there was also a branch of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Feng Qingya’s sudden appearance would naturally be recognized by the disciples of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Not long after Feng Qingya appeared in Tianning City, the news spread back to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Tianning City.
“Report to the Pavilion Master, Miss Feng has arrived in Tianning City.”
“It seems she’s heading towards the Spiritual Medicine Sect.”
On the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Tianning City, a fat man was sitting in a chair, sipping tea.
Someone reported to him, and upon hearing the news, the fat man’s eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of doubt flashed in his beady eyes.
“Miss Feng? Which Miss Feng are you talking about?”
The reporter added, “If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t have bothered to report to the Pavilion Master.”
“But this is a special young lady, Feng Qingya!”
As soon as the fat man heard this, he immediately stood up from his chair, looking slightly flustered.
“The alchemist conference held by the Feng family is about to start. This person came to my Tianning City at this time. Could it be that she really wants to seek help from the Spiritual Medicine Sect?”
“But the Spiritual Medicine Sect should also know the current situation of this young lady. Do they really dare to take such a big risk?”
As he spoke, the fat man’s gaze drifted towards the city center outside the window.
He muttered to himself, “I don’t want to get involved in the Feng family’s troubles.”
“Please don’t drag me into this, Miss Feng.”
After saying this, the fat man paced back and forth in the pavilion, his eyes fixed on the city center.
Before long, he made up his mind.
“I’ll have to go to the Spiritual Medicine Sect.”
…
Just Feng Qingya’s arrival had already stirred up undercurrents in Tianning City.
However, at this time, she and Su Jingzhen were still strolling along the streets, enjoying the sights.
Su Jingzhen’s heart was also filled with excitement.
Although he had already advanced to a second-grade alchemist, he had only come into contact with two or three types of pills.
If he could really establish a relationship with the Spiritual Medicine Sect, he might be able to make a huge breakthrough in alchemy.
Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with anticipation as they walked towards the city center.
In Tianning City, the Spiritual Medicine Sect was the absolute ruler, controlling the basic order of the city.
The sect’s location was directly in the city center.
At this time, Su Jingzhen’s gaze fell upon the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s gate.
The gate was bustling with people, and many disciples in white robes were coming and going.
This sect, which specialized in alchemy, was extremely prosperous in the entire cultivation world.
Many ordinary cultivators sought to join them.
However, Feng Qingya only glanced at the gate before continuing down the street, heading towards another part of Tianning City.
Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit puzzled.
But he didn’t ask any questions, following Feng Qingya as they walked deeper into the city.
The buildings around them became increasingly dilapidated, and the people on the streets grew fewer.
At this time, Feng Qingya turned into a narrow alleyway.
The streets and alleys here resembled the Peach Blossom Alley where Su Jingzhen used to live.
This should be the slums of Tianning City, where the lowest-ranking cultivators resided.
Su Jingzhen didn’t ask any questions, silently following Feng Qingya.
The two of them walked to the deepest part of the alleyway and stopped in front of a worn-out, dilapidated door.
Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows furrowed again, but Feng Qingya took a serious step forward, solemnly knocking on the door.
