The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 15: Killing on the Street



Su Jingzhen subconsciously turned his head to look back.

He saw a group of heavily made-up women on the second floor of the adjacent building, smiling coyly at him.

Flower Moon Pavilion, the largest brothel in Linjiang City.

Its reputation was on par with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and the female cultivators there were also exceptional.

Not long after he had crossed over, Su Jingzhen had also gone there to “listen to music”.

However, after struggling to pay his rent, he hadn’t gone back.

Now, with fifty lower-grade spirit stones in his pocket, looking at the alluring figures of the female cultivators, Su Jingzhen’s heart was slightly stirred.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head and left with a bitter smile.

Although it’s human nature to have desires, but for Su Jingzhen, time was currently very precious.

He shouldn’t waste it here.

Su Jingzhen walked along the main street of Linjiang City towards Peach Blossom Alley.

At this time, two figures suddenly rushed out of a dark alley in front of him.

One of them was covered in blood, gasping for breath, and frantically fleeing.

But just as they escaped to the middle of the main street, they were caught up by the flying sword of the person behind.

A sword pierced through the heart!

This scene unfolded just ten meters away from Su Jingzhen.

Although there were still many people on the street, it sent chills down his spine.

Murder on the street in broad daylight!

Over the past two and a half years, Su Jingzhen had basically been living in Peach Blossom Alley.

Linjiang City’s order had always been very good, and such a thing had never happened before.

Su Jingzhen stopped in his tracks, standing with a dozen or so cultivators on the main street.

Everyone was silently watching.

They saw the black-robed cultivator calmly walk up, retrieve his flying sword from the corpse, and then take the storage bag from the dead body.

Then, he slowly walked back into the dark alley.

From start to finish, he was extremely calm, as if killing someone was no big deal.

“That guy just now seemed to be a demonic cultivator!”

“He had a faint aura of demonic energy on him when he attacked.”

“Only demonic cultivators would be so ruthless and disregard the rules of Huayang Sect.”

“I didn’t think demonic cultivators would dare to appear so openly in Linjiang City.”

Until the black-robed figure completely disappeared from view, the surrounding cultivators began to whisper to each other.

Each of their faces revealed a hint of fear.

These low-level cultivators were clearly terrified.

In the cultivation world, there were many demonic sects, and their cultivation methods were often extremely ruthless and unscrupulous, not tolerated by orthodox cultivators.

However, many demonic cultivators were extremely powerful.

So, although the orthodox and demonic paths were mutually exclusive, over the long years, the two sides had maintained a precarious balance.

Su Jingzhen knew that in Qingzhou, where Linjiang City was located, there was a powerful demonic sect called the Evil Moon Sect.

He let out a sigh, knowing that the situation in Linjiang City was likely more chaotic than Zhang Xiu had told him.

As he was lost in thought, several cultivators had already walked up to the corpse to take a look.

“This seems to be… Wang Feng, a fellow from Listening Rain Alley.”

After recognizing the deceased, the expressions of the cultivators on the main street changed again.

Wang Feng, a person who had reached the late stage of Qi refinement, was a small figure in Linjiang City.

Because of his cultivation, he was also working for Huayang Sect, just like Zhang Xiu.

Someone took out a talisman from Wang Feng’s hand.

“Wang Feng didn’t even have time to use his distress symbol.”

The person let out a shocked sigh, and a thread of spiritual energy entered the talisman.

Suddenly, a burst of smoke and fire rose into the air.

This was a major incident, and only Huayang Sect’s strong cultivators could handle it.

Wang Feng, who had reached the late stage of Qi refinement, was killed with a single sword strike, and the killer’s cultivation might have reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

They could only do this much.

The distress symbol used was Wang Feng’s, and even if Huayang Sect’s strong cultivators came to investigate, it had nothing to do with them.

As the smoke and fire rose into the air, Su Jingzhen quietly retreated from the crowd.

If Huayang Sect’s people came, they would definitely investigate one by one, and he didn’t want to reveal his identity.

On his way back, Su Jingzhen was even more cautious, and the spirit stones he had earned earlier now felt heavier in his heart.

The order established by Huayang Sect was fragile like paper in the eyes of those powerful strong cultivators.

A Qi refinement late-stage strong cultivator could be killed, and he, a Qi refinement initial-stage cultivator, was even more in danger.

He once again deeply realized the importance of strength.

Fortunately, no one noticed him as he walked back to Peach Blossom Alley.

At the corner, he changed back into his previous clothes.

Only when he returned to the academy did he finally let out a sigh of relief.

As he walked through the courtyard, he glanced at the quiet room with its closed door, but Su Jingzhen didn’t choose to disturb it.

He silently returned to the kitchen.

He sat on a small stool, thinking about his current situation again.

On the spirit stones aspect, he didn’t need to worry, but in terms of safety, he was still far from enough.

Demonic cultivators dared to kill on the street, and who could guarantee that Chen Chong and others wouldn’t come to harm him?

After all, Shuang Jiang’s previous words had already sounded a warning bell for him.

“Practice the Python Scales Power!”

After a long silence, he muttered to himself.

The cultivation method of Python Scales Power automatically flashed through his mind.

Body Cultivation was a way to cultivate the power of the flesh, opening up the secrets of the human body.

According to the principles of Body Cultivation, every acupoint in the human body was a secret repository, and if one could unlock it, they could gain immense power.

However, in the current cultivation environment, unlocking the secrets of the human body was extremely difficult, and most Body Cultivation methods only allowed one to cultivate a strong physique and slightly stimulate the power of the flesh.

Moreover, the hardships and time required to achieve this were not something that could be easily explained to others.

But he, Su Jingzhen, had the Golden Finger, so he wouldn’t need to go through the same hardships as ordinary Body Cultivation practitioners.

All his confidence came from the Golden Finger.

Since he had decided to cultivate his body and had obtained the corresponding method, his emotional connection points would naturally increase with his cultivation progress.

With a thought, the panel opened.

As expected, a new sub-panel appeared.

【Body Cultivation: None

Flesh Level: Mortal Body (9 layers)

Secret Repositories to Unlock: Labor Palace: 0/100】

Seeing this panel, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but sigh.

It seemed that Shuang Jiang’s words about him being weak and fragile weren’t without reason.

When he saw the panel, he automatically understood the information on it.

Mortal Body, 9 layers, meant that his current physical strength was still at a mortal level.

Not just him, but most Qi-refining Stage cultivators’ physical strength was also at this level.

Although he was considered top-notch among mortals, it was still a result of being nourished by spiritual energy in the cultivation world.

But when he saw the line about unlocking secret repositories, he suddenly became excited.

Although it was difficult to develop the secrets of the human body in this cultivation environment, with the Golden Finger, these were not problems for him.

“As long as the points are sufficient, I’m afraid any acupoint can be dug out.”

“I currently have 93 points, and I’m just seven points away from directly developing the Labor Palace acupoint.”

“I wonder how much my physical strength will increase if I can dig out the hidden treasures in my body.”

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, stretching out his right hand in anticipation.

According to Shuang Jiang, many so-called Body Cultivation methods only focus on external training of muscles and bones, and even fail to develop the hidden treasures within the body.

But if one can develop the hidden treasures, it will be a qualitative leap.

The Labor Palace acupoint is located on the palm of the right hand, and this will be the starting point for his body refinement.

Thinking of this, Su Jingzhen’s gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction of the quiet room.

No matter what, I need to go and serve Shuang Jiang first, earn those seven points, and then we’ll talk.
