【Empathy 2】
The slight admiration Shuang Jiang had for Su Jingzhen in her heart instantly turned into actual points, manifesting in front of Su Jingzhen.
This directly pushed his usable points to 81.
Su Jingzhen beca even more excited, thinking that at this rate, he would be able to accumulate 200 points in no ti, maybe not even in two days.
As long as he could solve the Dantian problem, breaking through to the third layer of Qi refinent would be a breeze.
But as he thought about it, Su Jingzhen felt a sense of helplessness.
The Dantian situation was not going to be easy to resolve.
If he didn’t have enough strength, he would still be in a precarious situation.
All the troubles ca from lacking the strength.
The mysterious wooden spiritual roots had allowed him to easily reach the level of a first-rate alchemist, and he didn’t have to worry about spirit stones anymore.
However, his initial Qi refinent cultivation still didn’t give him any sense of security.
Perhaps if he went to report his identity as a first-rate alchemist to the Huayang Sect, they would value and provide special protection.
That way, he could be carefree.
But he would also beco a puppet alchemist of the Huayang Sect, losing his freedom completely.
Being an alchemist was prestigious, but without corresponding strength to back it up, it was just a tool.
Previously, earning spirit stones was the top priority, but now he had to consider the Dantian problem.
After thinking for a mont, Su Jingzhen’s gaze fixed intently on Shuang Jiang.
“Miss Shuang Jiang, I want to ask you sothing.”
Shuang Jiang was slightly surprised.
Su Jingzhen should have been happy about the successful alchemy, but she could sense that his emotions were becoming increasingly heavy.
“You speak,” she responded calmly.
Su Jingzhen continued, ” Miss Shuang Jiang, you’re knowledgeable and experienced. Do you know what kind of elixir is needed to repair a damaged Dantian?”
At this ti, Su Jingzhen still subconsciously wanted to solve the problem with pills.
Upon hearing this, Shuang Jiang furrowed her brow.
She gazed at Su Jingzhen with a hint of shock in her eyes.
Then, she directly reached out and grabbed Su Jingzhen’s hand, probing with a thread of spiritual energy. Shuang Jiang’s expression changed drastically.
“I didn’t expect your Dantian to be damaged to this extent!”
She had thought Su Jingzhen was just a poor, low-level cultivator, but it turned out he was a pitiful one!
Previously, she had only sensed that Su Jingzhen’s cultivation was at the initial Qi refinent stage, but she hadn’t paid attention to his Dantian.
“With your current state, you’re still able to maintain your cultivation at the second layer of Qi refinent, which is already a miracle.”
After expressing her astonishnt, Shuang Jiang continued, “If it were just a minor injury, there would be many ways to repair it, and I could do it during my pri. But for your case, it would require a miracle.”
Shuang Jiang wouldn’t sugarcoat her words, only speaking the truth.
Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, but his expression didn’t change much.
He knew his own situation, and Shuang Jiang was only confirming it for him.
A miracle? Did the system count as one?
The system had appeared, and Su Jingzhen naturally believed that miracles existed.
He had always believed that with the Golden Finger, his Dantian problem would be solved within 500 days.
Seeing Su Jingzhen’s calm expression, Shuang Jiang felt a pang of sympathy.
In her eyes, Su Jingzhen was probably scared silly.
But before she could say anything, Su Jingzhen asked again, “If I want to increase my strength, is there no other way?”
At this ti, Su Jingzhen’s tone was extrely sincere.
Seeing this, Shuang Jiang retracted her sarcastic remark.
After a mont of serious thought, she said, “It’s not that there’s no other way. Cultivation isn’t just limited to one path.”
“It’s just that the other paths are much more difficult compared to Qi refinent.”
“Do you know about spirit cultivation and body cultivation?”
Su Jingzhen’s heart stirred, and he naturally knew about body refinent, but he had never seen it in Linjiang City.
Shuang Jiang continued, “Cultivators can be broadly divided into three schools: Qi refinent, Body refinent, and Spirit refinent!”
“However, this era is the era of Qi refinent, and Body refinent and Spirit refinent require too many resources, which don’t fit well with this era.”
“Even though there are so Body refinent and Spirit refinent practitioners, most of them are using incomplete, low-level techniques, and can’t produce truly strong cultivators.”
Su Jingzhen’s mind was suddenly filled with thoughts.
The environnt he was in previously was too low-level, and these were all new concepts he had never heard of.
At this ti, his thoughts beca more active.
Cultivation is already difficult, and many people with spiritual roots struggle to improve their Qi refinent. Who would choose the even more difficult paths of Body refinent and Spirit refinent?
“It’s survival of the fittest. As the environnt for cultivation changes, it’s normal for these two schools to decline.”
Shuang Jiang sighed again.
It takes ten to a hundred tis more effort to reach the extre, but it’s still no match for the ease of Qi refinent. Unless there’s no other choice, who would take these two paths?
As she spoke, Shuang Jiang gazed at Su Jingzhen, whose Dantian was almost completely broken, but had given her the opportunity to repay her life-saving debt.
“In your current state, if you want to increase your strength, you can only choose Spirit refinent or Body refinent.”
“As an alchemist, your ntal strength is not bad, and you’re more suited to take the path of Spirit refinent.”
“But the Spirit refinent techniques I know are only half-baked and incomplete.”
“However, I do know of a body refinent technique that’s not bad, but you’re too weak and fragile to cultivate it.”
Finally, Shuang Jiang had found an opportunity to clear her debt with Su Jingzhen, and she was no longer as cold and distant as before, speaking more freely.
Su Jingzhen had indeed saved her life, and in her eyes, giving Su Jingzhen a new path was equivalent to giving him a new life.
The karma was balanced, and they owed each other nothing!
This Dantian is so wonderfully broken!

Hmm? Did she still have so schadenfreude?
The atmosphere had beco quite strange, and Su Jingzhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He looked at Shuang Jiang and said, “Can you give both the Body refinent and Spirit refinent techniques?”
Children make choices, but adults take everything.
Apart from the Golden Finger, he didn’t have any other resources, and he would naturally accumulate them when he had the chance.
Shuang Jiang was taken aback: “Do you know the phrase ‘greedy for too much and getting nothing’?”
Su Jingzhen nodded: “I have no other intention, I just want to compare them.”
His words and tone were still sincere, and Shuang Jiang looked at him deeply before nodding.
“I know of a body refinent technique called ‘Python Scales Power’ that’s not bad if you can cultivate it to perfection. And the Spirit refinent technique is called ‘Divine Wandering’, but it’s actually garbage.”
“Let get a pen and paper, and I’ll copy it down for you.”
Su Jingzhen quickly fetched a pen and paper.
He didn’t know Shuang Jiang’s specific cultivation level, but he knew that soone like her, who had seen many things, would be able to rember and record them accurately.
Soon, Shuang Jiang handed Su Jingzhen the two newly copied techniques, written in her elegant handwriting, which seed to contain a mysterious aura.
“Take your ti to consider and decide which one to practice.”
“This way, I’ll consider my debt to you repaid, and we’ll be even.”
Shuang Jiang spoke again, her tone seemingly colder.
The alchemy knowledge Shuang Jiang had taught Su Jingzhen had helped him successfully beco a first-rate alchemist, which had almost offset the karma from the two notebooks.
They were truly even now.
Su Jingzhen was stunned for a mont, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
He knew that Shuang Jiang would likely leave soon.
But there was no other way; he needed these things, and Shuang Jiang had to repay her debt.
He was also satisfied, as he had gained a lot from Shuang Jiang in the past two days.
Just the activation of the Golden Finger was a guaranteed profit!
After thinking for a mont, Su Jingzhen took out a white jade pendant.
“I know you won’t stay here for long, Miss Jiang, but our encounter is still a kind of fate.”
“I also know that your environnt is even more dangerous, so no matter when you leave, please take this Peace Jade with you.
“It’s not a magical tool, but it’s sothing I’ve carried with since I was young, and it represents my goodwill.”
