Chapter 172: Xuening
His aged face also became stern: “I once promised your father that I would help him with three things. If he’s not around, I would do three things for his descendants. Now, there’s only one thing left. Miss Feng, do you really want to go this far?”
Feng Qingya nodded firmly again: “Please help me, senior! You should know that if it weren’t for the fact that I’m really out of options, I wouldn’t have used that promise.”
At this time, Su Jingzhen’s expression changed again.
From Feng Qingya and Dantai Mingjing’s conversation, he caught some key information.
Firstly, Feng Qingya’s father was an extraordinary person and had a debt of gratitude to Dantai Mingjing.
Secondly, Feng Qingya’s father was no longer in this world!
After catching this information, Su Jingzhen had a slight epiphany.
Perhaps Feng Qingya, as the direct descendant of the Feng family, was in such a difficult situation because of her father’s death.After understanding this, Su Jingzhen’s gaze towards Feng Qingya was filled with a hint of sympathy.
Dantai Mingjing fell silent again, and after a dozen breaths, he nodded lightly.
“Since Miss Feng wants to use this promise, I naturally cannot refuse. However, I still cannot leave the mountain, or rather, I’m unable to leave the mountain. Because I’m no longer able to refine pills.”
As soon as he said this, Feng Qingya’s expression changed again.
If using this promise couldn’t even get Dantai Mingjing to leave the mountain, then she would truly be hopeless.
She had previously anticipated that Dantai Mingjing’s pill-refining skills might not be as good as before.
That’s why she had found Su Jingzhen to assist.
But if Dantai Mingjing was unable to help, then all her efforts would be in vain.
She knew that Dantai Mingjing was a man of his word, and with that promise, she had never thought that he would be unwilling to help.
But before Feng Qingya could say anything, Dantai Mingjing continued: “I may not be able to leave the mountain, but I can let Xuening help you. With Xuening’s pill-refining skills, she should be able to help you refine the pills you want.”
As Dantai Mingjing said this, a light and gentle footstep suddenly echoed through the courtyard.
“Little Ling, is there a guest?”
Suddenly, a pleasant voice echoed through the courtyard.
Su Jingzhen’s eyes landed on a figure wearing a coarse blue dress, not particularly tall, but with bright eyes and a gentle smile.
She had a small backpack on her back, containing several spiritual herbs.
“Sister Xuening, Sister Feng has arrived.”
Upon hearing this voice, Little Ling suddenly became excited.
At this time, Dantai Xuening had already seen Feng Qingya’s figure and smiled slightly.
“Greetings, Sister Feng.”
It was clear that she was more courteous than Little Ling.
Moreover, she knew that Feng Qingya was their benefactor.
Su Jingzhen’s curiosity grew even more.
He knew that the person Dantai Mingjing had mentioned earlier was this girl in front of him.
She looked to be only in her early twenties.
Moreover, her aura was not prominent, and she didn’t seem like a pill-refining master.
Seeing the curiosity on Xuening’s face, Dantai Mingjing didn’t hide anything and told her everything that had happened earlier.
Xuening’s expression became even more astonished.
“Xuening’s pill-refining skills are still shallow, and I’m afraid I’m not qualified to participate in the Feng family’s pill-refining conference.”
“If I were to delay Sister Feng’s important matter, Xuening would not be able to bear the responsibility.”
After understanding the situation, Xuening’s expression turned serious, and she subconsciously wanted to decline.
However, Dantai Mingjing had said that her pill-refining skills were already sufficient.
Feng Qingya naturally wouldn’t give up and smiled as she asked, “Xuening, what level of pill-refining master are you now?”
As she asked this, Feng Qingya’s eyes had a hint of expectation.
Xuening smiled gently: “I have never taken the pill-refining master exam, so I don’t know my current level.”
“However, I can refine ordinary first- and second-grade pills.”
Xuening’ words were humble, and before she could finish speaking, Dantai Mingjing said, “Xuening, you should be able to help with Miss Feng’s matter.”
“You don’t need to be burdened by anything. With your current pill-refining skills, refining a third-grade pill should be no problem.”
“In certain situations, you might even be able to challenge a fourth-grade pill.”
“You’ve learned pill-refining from me for so long, and now it’s time to put it into practice.”
“Don’t worry, go ahead boldly. This is not only for Miss Feng, but also for you.”
Since Feng Qingya had already used that promise, Dantai Mingjing had to send someone.
And he had absolute confidence in Xuening.
When Dantai Mingjing said this, Feng Qingya’s face lit up with joy.
“If that’s the case, I hope Xuening won’t decline. Sister Feng’s fate may depend on you, Xuening.”
As Feng Qingya said this, she directly bowed to Xuening.
“Sister Feng, there’s no need to be so polite. If I can really help, I’ll do my best. I’m just afraid that my pill-refining skills are shallow and might ruin your important matter.”
Feng Qingya could only sigh: “To be honest, I’ve already considered you as my last hope. I trust the Dantai family’s pill-refining skills. And this time, I’ve also found an assistant for you.”
As Feng Qingya said this, she pointed to Su Jingzhen and continued: “His name is Su Jingzhen, and he is also a pill-refining master. His level has reached the peak of second-grade. If you two can work together, I believe you’ll definitely shine at the pill-refining conference.”
At this time, Feng Qingya was like a drowning person grasping at a lifeline.
As she said this, Dantai Mingjing and Xuening both looked at Su Jingzhen with curiosity.
Su Jingzhen smiled at Xuening: “Although I have a second-grade level, my knowledge of pill-refining principles is still shallow. I might need to learn from Miss Xuening.”
He had already seen that the three people, including the old man and granddaughter, who were hiding in the depths of Tianning City, were quite skilled in pill-refining.
At this time, his attitude was extremely humble.
He knew that discussing with these people would definitely improve himself.
Things had reached this point, and Xuening couldn’t decline anymore.
She immediately nodded and smiled at Su Jingzhen: “In that case, I’ll have to ask Master Su for guidance from now on.”
When Xuening said this, Feng Qingya’s heart was filled with both joy and anxiety.
In terms of pill-refining, she had absolute faith in Dantai Mingjing and believed that he knew about the Feng family’s pill-refining conference.
Under such circumstances, Dantai Mingjing still recommended Xuening.
So Feng Qingya also believed that Xuening wouldn’t disappoint her.
