Chapter 616: Fifth Rank
“With this level of medicinal fragrance, could it be that this girl really broke through last night?”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
He put aside some of his prejudices against the onlookers.
After all, if it were his neighbor who produced such an intense medicinal fragrance, which was clearly a sign of a breakthrough, he might have been tempted to take a look as well.
While Su Jingzhen was thinking about it, a sudden burst of colorful light rose from Xuening’s courtyard.
It directly enveloped the courtyard above.
Combined with the medicinal fragrance, anyone with a certain level of cultivation knew that this was the symbolic phenomenon of an alchemist breaking through to the Fifth Rank.
“So it’s a fifth-tier alchemist.
If I remember correctly, she was one of the two who arrived with Sister Yaoyao yesterday.
She seems to be a young girl, quiet and gentle.”“Yesterday’s rumors said that Su Jingzhen is only in his twenties, yet he was able to defeat ordinary Heavenly Dragon disciples under the age of fifty.
The potential he has shown is indeed beyond the reach of many core disciples.
It seems that the two people Sister Yaoyao brought back this time are not ordinary.”
“If this girl is only in her twenties and has already reached the fifth rank, she seems to be even more outstanding than our Heavenly Dragon core disciples in some ways.”
“Such neighbors are worth getting to know.
Of course, our Heavenly Dragon people are unmatched in martial arts, but in other auxiliary fields, such as alchemy and blacksmithing, our talents are lacking.
This girl really has the potential to become a master-level alchemist in the cultivation world, and she is worth befriending.”
“…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
At this moment, the onlookers who saw the colorful light in the sky couldn’t help but sigh.
Each of them looked at Xuening’s courtyard with a hint of eagerness and anticipation.
However, none of them crossed the line and entered Xuening’s courtyard.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen nodded silently, and some of the anger in his heart dissipated.
These people were still quite disciplined.
If there were any undisciplined ones who came in directly to cause trouble, there would be no need to wait for the Heavenly Dragon Conference to begin; he would have to deal with them here.
“Excuse me, excuse me…”
But at this moment, Su Jingzhen did not continue to stand outside the courtyard.
He naturally wanted to investigate Xuening’s situation right away.
Pushing through the crowd to the door, he did not hesitate to push it open and enter.
When Qiu Yaoyao originally built this courtyard, it was also equipped with many powerful arrays.
However, Xuening’s arrays and their courtyards were not guarded against each other.
After seeing Su Jingzhen easily push open the door and enter, the dozens of Heavenly Dragon Core disciples watching frowned.
Most of them were young people with high spirits.
When they saw someone so rude rush in first, they immediately felt dissatisfied.
“Who is this guy? So rude.”
“Even if the girl inside has finished alchemy, it is still not good for him to go in without an invitation.
In the Luo River region and even in Zhongzhou, we Heavenly Dragon people have always had a reputation for being uncivilized and rude.
But this reputation has basically been tarnished by ordinary disciples, and we core disciples should still have our own rules.”
“…”
At this moment, everyone began to discuss this directly.
Each of them locked their aura onto Su Jingzhen, obviously very dissatisfied.
“Sir, you are a bit abrupt, aren’t you?”
A strong and sturdy man with a powerful aura questioned Su Jingzhen.
However, Su Jingzhen did not give an answer.
He directly entered the room where Xuening was.
It was only after he had completely entered the room that someone behind him suddenly recognized him.
“The guy who just walked in… he seems to be the rumored Su Jingzhen who was chosen by Sister Yaoyao.”
“Yes, I saw the spiritual image they copied at the transmission place back then, it is indeed that Su Jingzhen.”
“But… even if it is that Su Jingzhen, even if he’s very familiar with the girl who is an alchemist.
But barging in like this is also rude.”
“…”
…
At this moment, Su Jingzhen naturally did not know how the people outside judged him.
He didn’t care at all.
When he opened the door to Xuening’s room, he actually saw Xuening tidying up the alchemy utensils.
Although her hair was a bit messy, her mental state was extremely full.
A fresh and extremely clean aura emanated from her entire body, which was the temperament of a high-ranking alchemist.
“Xuening, did you break through?”
Although he had already confirmed it, Su Jingzhen still asked knowingly.
Seeing Su Jingzhen, Xuening’s face lit up with a look of surprise.

Before she even spoke, the emotions in her heart had already been directly reflected in the points displayed in front of Su Jingzhen.
“Brother Su, this place is indeed very suitable for us.
With the unique spiritual energy conditions here and the various spiritual herbs growing in the wilderness, I was able to break through the barrier I felt before and reach the fifth level in just one day. ℝ
This is much faster than I expected.”
Her words also revealed Xuening’s joy.
“Congratulations, it looks like I won’t have to bother with alchemy anymore.
If I need any pills, you can just make them for me.”
Su Jingzhen said with a smile, although he was only joking.
But in his heart, he really believed it.
He originally chose alchemy just to survive in the cultivation world.
His initial thoughts were very simple, and it was just to earn spirit stones to pay the rent.
High-level alchemists, even though they have an unparalleled status in the cultivation world and access to abundant resources, is actually not Su Jingzhen’s best choice.
Of course, if necessary, he would make an effort to improve his alchemy skills.
But for now, his main focus is on martial arts.
He understands one truth more clearly: in the world of survival of the fittest, a strong fist is always the hard truth.
Before Xuening’s identity is fully revealed and she grows up, she is just an aide, so he will use his iron fists and powerful martial arts skills to protect her well.
However, upon hearing his words, Xuening’s excitement grew even more intense.
“Xuening has always been very willing to serve Brother Su.”
As she said this, the happiness on her face seemed so natural.
Seeing the pure Xuening, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but step forward and pull her into his embrace.
Now that they had reached the fourth level of mutual affection, these intimate actions would not make Xuening feel uncomfortable, but rather bring out a shy excitement like a deer darting around.

The chain reaction brought Su Jingzhen another three consecutive hits.
“But since Brother Su also sensed the Dan Heart, I think you should not give up.
Practice alchemy in your spare time, with your talent, you will quickly improve your alchemist rank.
Alchemists often complement each other, and if there’s something Xuening can’t do, I’ll need Brother Su to help me.”
Although Xuening was very willing to help Su Jingzhen with alchemy, she also felt that if Su Jingzhen gave up alchemy, it would be too wasteful of the Dan Heart he had sensed.
“Of course.”
Su Jingzhen replied without hesitation.
The two of them stayed together for a while.
There were no more intimate acts.
Of course, Su Jingzhen didn’t mind taking Xuening directly.
But he always remembered what today’s primary goal was.
After tidying up everything, Xuening casually tidied up her appearance.
Then the two of them pushed the door open and left the room.
There were still dozens of people standing at the door, full of anticipation.
And at the very front was Qiu Yaoyao, her red hair flowing.
