The three dishes and one soup were still full of color, aroma, and flavor.
“Miss Shuang Jiang, dinner is ready!” Su Jingzhen called out from the kitchen towards the quiet room.
Before the sound even faded, Shuang Jiang’s figure had already appeared in the kitchen.
Glancing at the food on the table, Shuang Jiang didn’t say a word, but instead skillfully picked up her bowl and sat down.
Her eating posture was still extrely elegant, but her speed was astonishingly fast.
Su Jingzhen knew that if he didn’t hurry, the food might be gone soon.
However, just as he was about to sit down and start eating, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Su Jingzhen felt a bit annoyed, but he had no choice but to get up and answer the door.
He walked straight to the school’s main gate, pushed open the door, and saw a black-robed man standing on the steps.
The man looked quite young, probably not more than 25 years old, and was extrely handso.
Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but think that if this guy were to exist on Earth before he crossed over, he would probably be a heartthrob among countless young girls.
However, Su Jingzhen was now filled with a sense of caution.
Because the visitor was not only handso but also completely unfamiliar, soone he had never seen before.
Maintaining caution towards every stranger was a basic quality of a cultivator.
“I’m Su,Jingzhen and you are…?” Su Jingzhen asked.
“I’m Luo Yuebai, your new neighbor who just moved into Peach Blossom Alley,” the man replied, pointing to the large gate adjacent to Enlightennt School. “I live next door to your Enlightennt School.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow: “I thought Hong Ye lived in that house? Could it be that she moved out of Peach Blossom Alley so soon?”
Su Jingzhen had always been a recluse, but he had lived here for two and a half years and knew who lived in which house in the surrounding area.
Luo Yuebai smiled and said, “Didn’t a treasure appear on Clear Wind Mountain a few days ago? Hong Ye also went to try her luck, but unfortunately, she fell in the mountains. Her residence was then rented out by Huayang Sect, and I happened to rent it. So, we’re neighbors now. Please take care of , Mr. Su.”
When Luo Yuebai spoke, his tone was quite humble.
However, when he ntioned Hong Ye, his tone was light and casual, as if it was no big deal that she had died.
Su Jingzhen felt a slight sense of surprise and unease.
In his impression, Hong Ye, who lived next door to him, was a middle-aged woman.
Her cultivation was around the sixth layer of Qi Refining, which wasn’t weak, and her personality was extrely cold.
He rembered that she often participated in group adventures with other cultivators, and her daily expenses ca from her explorations.
Given the current situation on Clear Wind Mountain, it was normal for people like her to go there and even die in the process.
Thinking about this, Su Jingzhen no longer doubted Luo Yuebai’s identity.
He also cupped his hands in respect: “I’m just a low-level cultivator, I don’t dare to presu, but it’s a fortunate thing to beco neighbors.”
Luo Yuebai had just moved in and was willing to take the initiative to co over and greet him, which was quite polite.
At least, Su Jingzhen felt that Luo Yuebai was different from the other neighbors in Peach Blossom Alley.
Su Jingzhen didn’t have any grudges against him, and if they could get along well as neighbors, it would be a good thing.
The two of them chatted for a bit, and then Luo Yuebai left.
Su Jingzhen didn’t invite him into the school, as it was their first eting, and although his identity seed to be okay, it was still necessary to be cautious.
These days, the situation in Linjiang City was getting more and more chaotic, and even though Peach Blossom Alley was relatively safe, it was still under the protection of Huayang Sect.
As soon as a vacancy appeared, many powerful cultivators from the outer city would rush to move in.
Su Jingzhen had seen several cases of fighting and killing on the main street, and the outer city was even more chaotic.
Su Jingzhen didn’t think too much about it and closed the door.
When he turned back, he saw Shuang Jiang standing under the peach blossom tree in the courtyard, seemingly unaware of how she got there.
“Miss Shuang Jiang, why did you get out here?” Su Jingzhen asked curiously.
Shuang Jiang’s gaze was still fixed on the gate, and she said lightly, “That new neighbor of yours, he’s not simple.”
After saying that, Shuang Jiang walked back to the quiet room.
This made Su Jingzhen’s heart skip a beat.
He only realized now that Shuang Jiang had co out because of the new neighbor, Luo Yuebai.
What kind of identity or cultivation level did Luo Yuebai have to make Shuang Jiang, a strong cultivator, react like this?
Su Jingzhen’s gaze couldn’t help but turn towards Luo Yuebai’s residence.
He was now even more cautious and curious about this new neighbor.
A mont later, he walked back to the kitchen.
However, when he pushed open the door, his expression suddenly froze.
Because, except for the one bowl of spiritual rice he had cooked earlier, the rest of the three dishes and one soup had almost been eaten clean.
Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but sigh, but he didn’t complain, and following the principle of not wasting food, he picked up the bowl of spiritual rice and started eating the leftovers.
After all, now that he has walked the path of Body Cultivation, his demand for food was quite high.
【Emotional Connection 6】
【Remaining usable points: 147】
Su Jingzhen, who was eating his al, suddenly saw the point change and was taken aback.
He looked towards the quiet room.
Could this also be possible?
……
After finishing his al, Su Jingzhen hurried back to the quiet room, taking advantage of his current energy to practice the “Python Scales Power” again.
He could now directly practice up to the fifth repetition, and still had so remaining energy.
He looked at Shuang Jiang again.
“Miss Shuang Jiang, can I absorb the Tempering Liquid again today?”
Shuang Jiang looked at him lightly: “One must pace oneself, only then can one go further. Cultivation is not a one-ti achievent. You can absorb it today, but it won’t be as effective as the first ti.”
Su Jingzhen nodded silently, understanding the principle, but still holding onto a bit of wishful thinking.
It was because he was too eager for power.
He glanced at the alchemy furnace in the corner, and then let out a sigh.
When he went to buy the Tempering Liquid today, he forgot to buy so dicinal materials as well.
As his physical strength increased, the resources he needed would only grow, and he couldn’t afford to not make money.
Moreover, aside from refining pills and buying dicinal materials, as his strength increased, he wanted to get a suitable magical tool for himself.
In these turbulent tis, it was better to be prepared.
And considering the ti, the Enlightennt Ceremony of Huayang Sect was only two days away.
At that ti, he might have to face Chen Chong, and who knew what would happen then.
So, within these two days, he had to raise his strength as much as possible.
He looked at the sky, and it was still early before dusk.
He looked at Shuang Jiang with so expectation.
“Miss Shuang Jiang, would you like to go out for a walk with ?”
