Sometimes, Su Jingzhen felt that he had only said some very ordinary words.

Yet, they were able to provoke Shuang Jiang’s series of attacks.

However, the additional 12 points still made him quite excited.

At this time, after hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Shuang Jiang didn’t say much and simply walked alongside him.

Then, Shuang Jiang said, “Let’s go to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”

“Are we going to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion now? Won’t it be a bit too flashy? Shouldn’t we change our attire?”

Su Jingzhen, who was cautious and meticulous, felt a bit anxious about entering the Treasure Gathering Pavilion with his true face.

He still had the Qi-replenishing pills he had refined last time in his storage bag, except for one that he had eaten out of hunger.

He had seven high-quality pills and two low-quality ones left.

According to the previous price, they were worth 76 lower-grade spirit stones.

If someone with ill intentions saw them, with Su Jingzhen’s current cultivation level of Qi-refining second layer, he would definitely be targeted.

As if knowing Su Jingzhen’s concerns, Shuang Jiang curled up the corners of her mouth in a disdainful smile.

“Don’t worry, we’re just going to take a look. We’re not going to sell the pills.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen felt much more at ease.

On the way to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Su Jingzhen felt that there were even more pedestrians than before.

Moreover, many of the black-robed figures hurrying past them seemed to have very powerful auras.

“Sister-in-law Zhang Xiu said that in the past two days, many powerful cultivators from outside have been arriving, and Linjiang City has become increasingly chaotic.”

“It seems that someone really did obtain something good on Clear Wind Mountain.”

Su Jingzhen thought to himself, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Shuang Jiang.

“Shuang Jiang, do you know anything about what’s going on at Clear Wind Mountain? Is there really a treasure up there?”

“These people seem to be heading to Clear Wind Mountain as well.”

This question seemed curious, but also had a hint of probing.

Shuang Jiang had appeared at the Enlightenment School with severe injuries on the night when the anomalies occurred on Clear Wind Mountain.

At that time, Su Jingzhen had already felt that Shuang Jiang was related to the matter.

Now that their emotional connection had reached the level of ‘Slight Fondness’, this question shouldn’t be avoided.

Shuang Jiang nodded slightly: “There is, but it has nothing to do with you.”

This response was straightforward, leaving Su Jingzhen speechless.

Yes, even if there was a treasure that could make someone ascend to immortality, his current cultivation level wasn’t even qualified to participate in the fray.

He didn’t think he would be like the protagonists in the novels he had read before, who could casually obtain treasures and then retreat unscathed.

In Peach Blossom Alley, he had to be careful not to be discovered by the Huayang Sect.

But at this time, on Clear Wind Mountain, killing someone was as easy as playing a game for those high-level cultivators.

The two of them didn’t speak again and quietly walked to the location of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Along the way, they encountered cultivators from Peach Blossom Alley who greeted Su Jingzhen, but ultimately, nothing happened.

The Treasure Gathering Pavilion and the adjacent Flower Moon Pavilion were as bustling as usual.

However, the female cultivators from the Flower Moon Pavilion were no longer as bold and carefree as before, and instead, they were doing business quietly behind closed doors.

Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang directly entered the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

There were long queues at the ten windows on the first floor.

Su Jingzhen noticed that there were many powerful external cultivators with strong auras, wearing black robes.

However, they were all queuing up obediently.

The hall was not managed, but everyone was following the rules voluntarily.

This was the authority of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

“What do we do now?” Su Jingzhen asked Shuang Jiang.

They weren’t going to sell pills, so they couldn’t just be here to observe the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s prosperity.

“With the authority of the first floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, we can’t buy what we want. Let’s go back.”

As Shuang Jiang said this, her gaze drifted towards the innermost part of the first floor hall.

There was a staircase leading to the second floor.

Although the hall was crowded, no one was going towards the staircase.

“Ah? Are we leaving?” Su Jingzhen was stunned, they had just arrived, and that was it?

Shuang Jiang’s mouth curved into an arc: “Unless you want to sell pills or go to the second floor with your true face?”

As soon as she said this, Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat.

He caught the key word in Shuang Jiang’s sentence!

Go to the second floor?

Even though he rarely went out, he knew that the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion required at least the Foundation Establishment stage or a profession like Alchemy, Talisman, Array, with a rank of two or above, to be eligible to go up.

So, what kind of items were being traded up there, he had no idea.

However, after a moment of shock, his heart was filled with excitement again.

He almost forgot that Shuang Jiang’s current injuries hadn’t fully recovered, and her cultivation had already increased by threefold.

Although he didn’t know the exact level, wanting to go to the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion wouldn’t be difficult.

And he would also get to ride on her coattails.

Thinking of this, Su Jingzhen directly followed Shuang Jiang out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

He knew that Shuang Jiang had brought him to take a look, probably to sense something.

Now that they had confirmed it, they should change their attire and come back.

Their current identities, one as a poor Qi-refining beginner and the other as a miserable Dao Companion, were ordinary and wouldn’t attract attention.

But if they went up to the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion like this, they would likely become the center of attention.

Then, Su Jingzhen’s wish to live a peaceful life would be a pipe dream.

……

“Hey, that person… the silhouette looks familiar.”

Just as Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang had left the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

A group of three people walked in, and a woman in a white long dress, with a few hints of beauty, retreated a step back, looking at Su Jingzhen’s back with a frown.

After thinking for a moment, she coldly laughed and said, “So it’s him, haha, is that his new Dao Companion?”

“Someone actually took a liking to him, I suppose he went to the mortal world to find one.”

“Xia’er, who are you looking at?”

A middle-aged woman asked, puzzled.

“Nothing, just the guy I told you about, the one Zhang Xiu introduced to me, the guy with broken Dantian.”

This woman was none other than Yan Xia, the one who had failed to match with Su Jingzhen in the past.

“A Dantian broken guy, not worth mentioning, let’s just forget about it.”

“Let’s go, I hope that the Treasure Gathering Pavilion has what we want.”

Among the three people, there was a man in his forties who also glanced at Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang’s departing figures, saying:

Yan Xia and her mother nodded, and the three of them walked into the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

“Father, this time I will definitely succeed in awakening my spirit.”

“Last time, I was just a little short, and during this time, I’ve been diligently cultivating and meditating, and I’m sure I’ll break through that layer that’s been blocking me.”

The man nodded: “After all, we need to be prepared for both possibilities, Xia’er, you’re the most outstanding child of your parents.”

“Your parents will not allow you to become an ordinary person.”
