Chapter 218: Unique Realm
“Dantian?!”
“Stone Gate! Dan… Dantian!”
Su Jingzhen had previously taught the children in Peach Blossom Alley about the meridian system of traditional Chinese medicine. He was well aware that Stone Gate Acupoint had another name, which was Dantian Acupoint!
Or, to put it another way, the location of Dantian Acupoint included several acupoints: Stone Gate, Qi Hai, Yin Jiao, and Guanyuan!
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, his excitement causing his body to tremble slightly.
The next Secret Repository to be excavated was the Stone Gate Acupoint. Did this mean that if he opened it, he could find a way to repair his Dantian on his own?
He wouldn’t need that so-called Seven-Turn Body Reshaping Pill anymore!
This was absolutely an unexpected joy for him.
He felt that every opening sequence of the Secret Repository was not truly random, but rather followed a certain special rule.
Although the Stone Gate Acupoint required 500 points to open, with his increasing emotional connection with Xuening and Feng Qingya, getting 500 points was not difficult.Even if he only got a fixed number of points every day, he could achieve it in less than a month.
“Brother Su, Brother Su, what’s wrong with you?”
At this moment, Su Jingzhen’s body was trembling with excitement, and Xuening’s expression became increasingly worried.
Hearing Xuening’s worried call, Su Jingzhen opened his eyes again.
He forced himself to calm down, looked at Xuening, and smiled slightly.
“Don’t worry, Xuening, I’m fine.”
This time, he was truly not only fine but also in an extremely good state.
Taking a deep breath, he felt the surging blood energy within his body once again.
After opening the Tanzhong Acupoint, his blood energy was several times stronger than when he was in the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo state.
Every cell in his body was filled with unparalleled vitality.
Su Jingzhen’s excitement gradually subsided, and he looked around the scene again.
At this time, most people had already refined their first pill.
However, there was still nearly an hour left before the two-hour time limit.
So, everyone was not in a hurry to finish refining their pills.
Including Ye Zhiqiu, Bai Xiu, and Liu Ming, the three most representative figures, who, after putting aside the pills they had refined, took out another pill and began refining again.
It was clear that most people were not very satisfied with their first pill.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow.
He looked at Xuening and asked, “Xuening, how was your refining just now?”
Upon hearing this, Xuening directly handed the Rebirth Pill she had just refined to Su Jingzhen.
Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, “It’s a bit worse than I imagined, only reaching the top-grade quality.”
Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows furrowed again as he looked at the surrounding third-grade alchemists who were still operating with utmost care.
He said, “Perhaps re-refining a Rebirth Pill is no longer feasible. And it’s not certain that we can refine another top-grade pill. We should try to break through to the next level with the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.”
When he said this, Su Jingzhen’s tone was very serious.
Xuening also nodded solemnly.
Her gaze then shifted to the Black Mountain furnace in front of Su Jingzhen: “Brother Su, do you want to try it with me?”
In her opinion, Su Jingzhen’s alchemy skills had improved rapidly, but were still a bit inferior to hers.
If she were to use the Black Mountain furnace, her chances of success would be higher.
It seemed that Su Jingzhen understood Xuening’s thoughts, but this time, he didn’t intend to let Xuening use the Black Mountain furnace.
Because after reaching the Flesh Body Golden Embryo state, he was eager to verify his previous guess.
And he believed that his previous guess was likely to be true.
“Xuening, let’s do it together. I have an idea, let me use the Black Mountain furnace to refine one first! There should still be enough time for us to refine two Breaking Through Adversity Pills. If I fail, then you can try again with the Black Mountain furnace!”
As soon as he said this, Xuening was slightly taken aback.
But then, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.
Su Jingzhen had said he had an idea, so Xuening naturally had no doubts and chose to believe him.
If Su Jingzhen said he had an idea, then he must have one!
After all, she highly recognized Su Jingzhen’s talent.
Xuening said again, “Then let’s not delay, let’s start right away!”
She immediately took out a set of Breaking Through Adversity Pill materials from her storage ring.
She lit the fire in the ordinary furnace in front of her and quickly entered a state of focus.
Her actions were even more intense than Su Jingzhen’s.
He let out a bitter laugh, “This girl is truly a pure alchemist.”
But his expression soon turned serious.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and took out another set of Breaking Through Adversity Pill materials, entering a state of focus as well.
Seeing this, the numerous spectators and participants who had not yet refined their second pill looked on in surprise.
“This material… is still Breaking Through Adversity Pill?”
“What are these two doing? Have they gone crazy?”
“That girl was refining a third-grade pill, why is she now switching to refining a second-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill?”
“This is a bit strange, could it be that the Breaking Through Adversity Pill is a catalyst for some other pill? Are they trying to refine an even higher-grade pill?”
“I’m curious, what’s the reason behind their actions?”
“…”
Many of the alchemists who had not yet taken the stage looked on, unsure of what Su Jingzhen and Xuening were trying to do.
The other spectators who were not alchemists also looked on with curiosity.
Meanwhile, Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang on the judging platform were also taken aback by Xuening’s actions, and they fell into deep thought.
They didn’t know Su Jingzhen’s specific level of skill.
So, it was normal for him to refine Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
But Xuening was a genuine third-grade alchemist, and her switching to refine Breaking Through Adversity Pill was unthinkable.
Not long after, Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng’s eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment!
“Could it be that they’re trying to break through to that level?”
Vice President Ouyang’s small eyes sparkled with excitement.
“That level of pill has always been elusive in the alchemy world!”
“To the point where everyone has subconsciously ignored the existence of that level of pill.”
“And now, these two are in a situation where they’re trying to break through to that level, and I can’t think of any other explanation.”
As he said this, his eyes grew more expectant.
Yao Changsheng nodded silently, clearly agreeing with Vice President Ouyang’s statement.
As Su Jingzhen began to operate, Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang’s expectant gazes suddenly turned serious.
“Vice President Ouyang, have you noticed that the way Su Jingzhen is refining pills now is different from before?”
Vice President Ouyang’s eyes flashed with insight again, “He seems to have entered another realm!”
“No, it should be that he’s initially sensing his own unique realm!”
Hearing Vice President Ouyang’s serious words, Yao Changsheng’s face suddenly broke into a smile.
He looked at Su Jingzhen for a long time, sighing, “Dan Heart, to be able to sense its existence at such a young age, it’s likely that he’ll be able to fully grasp it in the future.”
“I suddenly see the opportunity for my Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s alchemists to truly compete with your Alchemist Association.”
