Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1299: Chapter 1298 Jeang Zier

Su Yang felt warmth in his heart, his disciple was indeed very considerate.

”Fortunately, I’m fine,” Su Yang smiled and said, ”How about you? Have your injuries healed?”

”All healed, completely healed!” Xiao Hei said excitedly.

”That’s great!” Su Yang nodded and asked Xiao Hei about the situation he had encountered again.

Xiao Hei’s answers were exactly the same as what the Black Widow had previously told Su Yang. From this, it was clear that the Black Widow had indeed not lied.

Su Yang felt even more at ease in his heart; since the Black Widow didn’t deceive him, this person was still worth collaborating with.

”By the way, didn’t you come here with Jeang Zier? Where is she?” Su Yang suddenly asked.

”I don’t know,” Xiao Hei shook his head, ”After we entered Capital City, we split up to look for you, and we have not seen each other since. Last time, at the Purple Lotus Garden, I got the message and immediately went to look for you. But when I arrived, I found out you had all left. On my way back to Capital City, I ran into this incident, was injured by someone named Ge Kaiyang, and these past few days, I’ve been staying in that manor without ever coming out. I don’t even know what’s happened outside.”

Su Yang couldn’t help feeling worried inside. Although he had used Jeang Zier as bait to lure Zhao Dongming, Wu Feizhi, and Ge Kaiyang into a trap, thwarting their plans, he himself had no idea where Jeang Zier actually was.

Logically speaking, with all the things Su Yang had done in Capital City, his fame should have already spread within the city, and everyone there should know about his stay at the Shen Family Courtyard by now. If Jeang Zier was in Capital City, she should certainly have heard this news.

But why hadn’t Jeang Zier come to find Su Yang at the Shen Family Courtyard after such a long time?

This situation forced Su Yang to worry. Could it be that Jeang Zier had encountered some unexpected events and couldn’t come to find him? Or was it that Jeang Zier was not in Capital City at all?

Su Yang knew that the second possibility was unlikely. Since Jeang Zier had come to Capital City, she certainly wouldn’t go elsewhere; she must still be in the city. Therefore, the likelihood of her encountering some misfortune was greater.

What kind of misfortune could she have encountered, though?

Su Yang knew that if his adversaries had captured Jeang Zier, they would surely threaten him with her, just like Zhao Dongming had done, or even force him. But over such a long period, no one had used Jeang Zier to threaten him, which made the situation extremely strange!

After some contemplation, Su Yang could only sigh in silence. Now, he didn’t even dare to search for Jeang Zier openly. The situation was similar to Xiao Hei’s before. If he started looking for Jeang Zier with great fanfare, everyone in Capital City would immediately know about it, and it couldn’t be guaranteed that some wouldn’t scheme over this matter, which would be troublesome.

Thus, for now, he could only act as if he had already found Jeang Zier, to prevent anyone from using her against him.

...

At 6:30 in the morning, by the South Lake in Capital City.

In a modest farmhouse, a young woman was sweeping the courtyard. The young woman was dressed simply, but her appearance was exquisite, with a very high level of attractiveness.

If Su Yang were here, he would surely recognize her at a glance as Jeang Zier.

After busying herself for a while, Jeang Zier pushed open the door and walked into the inner room.

The inner room was empty, with only a small Pill Furnace placed in the center.

Jeang Zier didn’t go directly towards the Pill Furnace. Instead, she moved about the inner room, turning left and right while continuously reciting incantations. She did this for nearly five minutes before finally approaching the Pill Furnace.

Upon arriving here, the surroundings swiftly transformed. Jeang Zier could see clearly within the inner chamber surrounding her, countless lights were flowing, and the thick scent of medicinal herbs saturated the air, intoxicatingly delightful.

Jeang Zier couldn’t help but be struck with amazement again—the miraculous methods of the Immortals were indeed profound. The Array left by her master was incredibly ingenious; not a single bit of the medicinal fragrance leaked out!

Jeang Zier sat cross-legged beside, staring at the Pill Furnace for well over an hour.

Suddenly, the lid of the Pill Furnace lifted slightly, and a wisp of mist rose from within, gradually morphing into a miniature Kylin beast in mid-air. The Kylin beast let out a neigh and was then absorbed back into the Pill Furnace.

After that, the light from the Pill Furnace abruptly ceased, returning it to the appearance of an ordinary furnace.

Jeang Zier was overjoyed: ”Success!”

She stood up, took a deep breath, and carefully opened the Pill Furnace.

Inside the Pill Furnace, all traces of the medicinal ingredients had vanished, leaving precisely thirteen Elixirs at the bottom.

”Kirin Rebirth Pills!” Jeang Zier exclaimed excitedly in a low voice. This type of Elixir, she had only seen recorded in some ancient texts of her sect—these were Divine Medicines that even Earth Immortals would covet.

She couldn’t believe that she had actually succeeded in making them, which excited her immensely.

Thinking back carefully on the circumstances since she met her master, Jeang Zier was filled with emotion.

She and Xiao Hei had come to Capital City together to look for Su Yang. Upon their arrival, they split up to search.

As it turned out, she had spent less than a day in Capital City when she happened upon an old crone.

This old crone, from the moment she saw Jeang Zier, followed her. At that time, Jeang Zier was quite curious, uncertain of the old crone’s intentions. The old crone, dressed in tattered clothes, seemed to be in poverty, so she even bought some food and gave some money to the old crone.

But the old crone wanted none of it. Instead, she suddenly reached out and pulled out a porcelain bottle from Jeang Zier.

Jeang Zier was taken aback at the time; the porcelain bottle contained an Elixir that Su Yang had taught her to make—a very precious one. She carried it on her body, to be taken in case of danger to quickly heal injuries.

The old crone acted too swiftly, and despite being close to the Venerable Realm, Jeang Zier could not be prepared in time, allowing the old crone to take the bottle away directly, a testament to the old crone’s formidable strength.

Jeang Zier’s first thought was whether she had encountered some enemy.

However, the old crone did not attack Jeang Zier but instead poured out the Elixir from the bottle, examined it closely, and then asked her who made this Elixir.

Jeang Zier didn’t know the old crone’s background, but she didn’t hide the truth either and said she made it herself.

The old crone appeared astonished then, and proceeded to ask a series of questions regarding alchemy.

The questions the old crone asked were highly specialized, even profoundly intricate.

Although Jeang Zier was a descendant of the Divine Farmer Sect, without Su Yang’s later guidance, she wouldn’t have been able to answer the old crone’s questions.

After Jeang Zier answered all of them, the old crone seemed very pleased and even directly asked Jeang Zier if she would like to take her as a master.
