Chapter 32 Fated Pursuit (Not entirely true)

Su Su frowned, feeling a faint ache in her non-existent conscience.

"Is there any other way? The Heavenly Heart Tree really can't give it to you." The time for cultivation that has been missed can never be made up for, and Su Su can't give up cultivation for the sake of her conscience.

“Yes, fellow Daoist, yes.” He Xinyi began to count, “Lotus seeds from the ninth-grade twin lotus, top-grade jade dew flowers, and flowing light wisteria, all are acceptable!”

Su Su: "..."

Every single one that He Xinyi mentioned has already deviated from the category of top-grade spiritual plants.

Su Su coughed and turned her head away without saying another word.

He Xinyi had been holding her hands to her heart, looking at Su Su with some expectation, thinking that Su Su had some method. But when she saw Su Su turn her head away and not speak, she immediately put her hands down and muttered, "Tch, talking big."

A man's voice came from not far away, "Xinyi, don't be rude."

He Xinyi's eyes flashed, and she turned around to see the man slowly walking towards her. "Uncle-Master!"

She lunged forward, but stopped when she got close to the man, afraid of hurting him.

"I apologize for disturbing you, fellow Daoist." The man bowed to Su Su.

Su Su waved her hand, her eyes scanning the man. His pale face and the bulging veins on his neck gave him a somewhat ferocious appearance, but the man's temperament was very calm and gentle, and he seemed to have a good temper.

"Fellow Daoist...cough...farewell." The man's ears turned red under Su Su's direct gaze. "Xinyi, let's go back."

He Xinyi followed the man away. As she crossed the entrance of the Spirit Plant Pavilion, she suddenly remembered something, tossed a jade talisman to Su Su, and called out, "If you ever agree to sell it, remember to send me a message."

Su Su caught the jade talisman steadily and nodded.

After a long wait, the shopkeeper finally prepared what Su Su wanted: three low-level storage bags.

"Fellow Daoist, the total is 49,800 spirit stones. This is the invoice for the goods. Please take a look." The shopkeeper placed the storage bag and invoice on the tray and handed them to Su Su with both hands.

"In addition, this is our Spirit Plant Pavilion's black card membership, which is valid at Wanlingfang. With this card, you can get a 10% discount when buying goods and a 1% higher selling price." The shopkeeper pointed to the black card with gold trim on the tray. It was made of special materials and bore the Spirit Plant Pavilion's mark, making it difficult to disguise.

Su Su nodded, first quickly scanning the bill, then putting everything into her pocket. "Thank you."

It's time to leave.

After leaving the Spirit Plant Pavilion, Su Su looked up at the sky; it was already late at night.

Unable to summon Zhuan Jian back to the sect at the last minute, and unsafe to travel alone, luckily the inn where he was staying was in Nanfang, not far from Su Su.

Qingyun Restaurant is a simple and elegant five-story building with a large enclosed courtyard behind it. It is the most upscale restaurant in Qingyun Market.

The waiter came forward and asked, "Would you like a meal or a room, sir?"

"The shop has a spirit chef who can cook all kinds of spirit food. Not only can you stay upstairs, but the back courtyard is also equipped with spirit-gathering arrays. You can choose whatever you like."

"I want to stay in a superior courtyard for one night. It should be quiet and not facing the street. As for the food... have the spirit chef prepare a few of his signature dishes. No offal, I don't like that." Su Su carefully explained her requirements.

"Alright! Here you go, sir. This is the token from the top-tier Zhuqing Courtyard. Their signature dishes will be served shortly!"

Su Su took the token and, without lingering, followed the guide into the courtyard.

As soon as Su Su entered the courtyard, she noticed that the concentration of spiritual energy was unusual. Although it was not as high as that of the inner sect, it was more than enough compared to that of the outer sect. No wonder they dared to charge her a thousand spirit stones.

However, Su Su thought that if the outer disciples knew that he spent a thousand spirit stones for the concentration of spiritual energy in the outer sect, they would probably prefer to live under a bridge. Thinking about this, Su Su chuckled.

The sword cultivators of the Qingyun Sect are truly fascinating. A familiar voice came from outside the courtyard, "Brother Fu, let's stay at Zhuyun Courtyard for the time being."

It was the annoying Chen He, and Fu Sinian was also there.

Su Su subconsciously pursed her lips and gripped the sword in her hand. The male lead actually found this place. Does that mean he covets her because she possesses a great treasure?
At least three people know about today's treasure hunt. The Heavenly Heart Tree and that batch of spirit seeds are too conspicuous in her hands. Su Su is still not cautious enough.

Although the Qingyun Sect has hundreds of thousands of disciples, Su Su was still afraid of attracting attention, since she truly had opportunities and couldn't withstand others' scrutiny.

Fu Sinian rubbed his temples, feeling uneasy ever since he left the sect.

It felt like I had lost something, just like when I couldn't sleep at night and waited for Su Su to come back.

But Su Su didn't know where she had gone.

Fu Ssu-nien found out very soon.

"Sir, your spiritual food has arrived!"

The barrier around the neighboring Zhuqing Courtyard was temporarily lifted, and a familiar female voice came, "Thank you, waiter."

Fu Sinian immediately felt relieved. He suspected that he had unknowingly taken Su Su's safety as his responsibility. After all, the two had been engaged, so he felt uneasy once Su Su left and wanted to make sure she was safe.

It must be so.

Chen He, standing beside him, curled his lip, wondering how he could run into this woman everywhere he went.

Su Su devoured the delicious spiritual food. The craftsmanship in the market had its own charm. Although the spiritual food in the sect was cheap, it was too healthy and tasteless. It was not as addictive as the craftsmanship in the market.

The tender and juicy spirit beast meat was picked up gently by Su Su with her chopsticks. With a pop, the juices shot into the bowl, and the aroma spread out, clearly wafting through the surrounding courtyards.

One cultivator muttered to himself, "Why make spiritual food smell so good for no reason?"

Some cultivators, drawn by the aroma, exclaimed, "Where did this gourmand come from? He really knows how to eat! He immediately chose Mei Niang's signature dish."

Su Su had no idea what they were thinking. Her stomach was a little full, but she still couldn't stop craving food.

Thanks to the clever design of the spiritual chef, the tableware all had built-in heat preservation functions, so the cold dishes remained cold and the hot soup remained hot. Su Su sat cross-legged to digest the spiritual food in her body, preparing to fight again later.

Su Su gathered spiritual energy within her body and charged towards the fifth level. An hour later, she stopped, covered in sweat, having almost lost her breath.

A month ago, I was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. It would be difficult to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining directly by relying solely on spiritual food.

If she were to force a breakthrough using spiritual liquid, it might damage her foundation. She stopped, and her appetite gradually disappeared. Cultivation was something that couldn't be rushed.

Fine, I'll just go into my spatial dimension and plant all the seeds I bought earlier.

After careful selection, Su Su finally placed the Heavenly Heart Tree in front of the wooden house, facing the river, so that it could extend its roots to absorb the spiritual river water on its own.

With half of the tree stump buried in the soil, Su Su used a container to water the Tianxin tree little by little. She dared not water too much, for fear that the Tianxin tree would drown.

A spoonful of spiritual liquid glided across the tree's heart, making the blue hue even more dazzling.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a "thump".

Under Su Su's watchful eye, a crack appeared in the heartwood of the Heavenly Heart Tree, and a new blue-green bud sprouted.

Su Su was inexplicably excited, as if she had witnessed a new miracle of life. Only in the world of cultivation could such a spectacle be seen. In modern times, where would a spoonful of water sprout immediately?
