Soon, busy sounds were heard from the kitchen as several chefs hurriedly prepared sumptuous dishes.

The shopkeeper was giving orders from the side, and from time to time he turned back and cast admiring glances at Lu Feng and the others.

"This is our inn's signature dish, Ganoderma stewed chicken, it's extremely delicious and nourishing."

The shopkeeper personally came over with a bowl of steaming Ganoderma stewed chicken, with a smile on his face, and respectfully placed the dish in front of Lu Feng.

"This is a spiritual fruit platter. It contains a variety of spiritual fruits. It is sweet and delicious and can refresh the mind."

The shopkeeper brought a colorful platter of spiritual fruits. The bright colors increased people's appetite.

"And this one, steamed fish with egg, the fish is fresh and tender, and the egg fragrance is overflowing, it is definitely a delicacy that you can't miss."

While introducing the dishes, the shopkeeper did not forget to pick up dishes for Jiang Qiong and the young woman with a respectful look on his face.

Lu Feng looked at the table full of delicious food and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

Although he did not want to attract too much attention, the shopkeeper's enthusiasm seemed to add a touch of humanity to their trip.

"Shopkeeper, you are so polite." Lu Feng said with a smile, secretly grateful in his heart. "We are just passing by, there is no need to be so polite."

"No, no!" The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly, as if he didn't buy into Lu Feng's modesty.

"It is an honor for our inn that you were able to repel the enemy under such circumstances. My little token of appreciation is nothing."

Seeing this, Jiang Qiong felt a warm feeling in her heart and said softly, "Thank you, shopkeeper. We will definitely enjoy these delicacies."

"That's good, that's good!" The shopkeeper smiled particularly brightly, then turned around and went back to work, as if he was afraid of missing something.

The dishes were served one after another. Lu Feng and everyone else enjoyed the food to their heart's content, and the atmosphere between them became increasingly harmonious.

The strong fluctuations of spiritual power had dissipated, and the diners around were no longer nervous. They began to talk in low voices, discussing the competition that had just taken place.

The aroma of the dishes filled the air, and Lu Feng and everyone else enjoyed this sumptuous dinner.

Every dish satisfied their taste buds greatly, especially the bowl of Ganoderma lucidum stewed chicken, which was extremely delicious, with tender meat and rich soup, as if every bite was awakening the dormant spiritual power in their bodies.

Jiang Qiong savored the food carefully, and her gratitude towards the shopkeeper grew deeper.

"It's so delicious!" he couldn't help but exclaim.

The young woman nodded in approval as well, obviously very satisfied with the meal.

"We're full now, it's time for us to rest." Lu Feng suggested as he looked out the window at the sky that was gradually darkening.

Everyone responded one after another, and the shopkeeper, seeing this, immediately and enthusiastically led them to their respective private rooms.

Jiang Qiong was arranged to stay in an independent private room. A wooden sign with the words "Jingya" carved on it was hung at the door, making it look particularly simple and quiet.

When you open the door, what comes into view is an elegant painting.

The private room is decorated in a unique style, with several landscape paintings hanging on the walls. The elegant colors make people feel peaceful and comfortable.

The floor is covered with soft velvet carpet, and stepping on it makes you feel as if you are in the clouds, which is very relaxing.

There is an incense burner placed on the tatami by the window. The faint fragrance floats in the air, making people feel peaceful.

"It's really nice here." Jiang Qiong whispered to herself, feeling a warmth in her heart.

He walked to the window and opened the curtains. The moonlight outside was like water, sprinkling in the yard and reflecting a silver-white world.

The moonlight shone through the window and onto his face, as if covering him with a veil.

In such an environment, Jiang Qiong's heart gradually calmed down.

He knew that he still had a lot of things to deal with.

Therefore, he decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to practice alchemy.

He took out a small alchemy furnace from his storage bag. The furnace was completely black and emitted a faint spiritual light, making it look particularly precious.

Jiang Qiong carefully placed the alchemy furnace on the tatami and began to prepare the materials needed for alchemy.

He took out several kinds of spiritual medicine from his bag, namely Green Spirit Grass, Flame Flower and Moon Shadow Fruit. These were rare medicinal herbs he collected on the road.

"I hope I can make some good pills this time."

Jiang Qiong talked to himself, silently reciting the formula for alchemy in his mind.

He put the elixirs into the furnace one by one and crushed them gently.

As he moved, the aroma of the elixir filled the air, intoxicating.

As his mind gradually immersed in alchemy, everything around him seemed to become blurry. Only the wisps of green smoke from the alchemy furnace swirled in the air, as if responding to his thoughts.

Jiang Qiong stared at the alchemy furnace intently. As the flames rose, the medicinal materials in the furnace began to slowly blend, emitting a dazzling light.

"Is this... a sign of success?"

Jiang Qiong was shocked and quickly increased the fire power, trying to control the temperature of the elixir.

His fingers gently moved the stove cover, and he silently recited a mantra in his mind, trying to guide the spiritual power more smoothly.

Just then, a breeze blew from outside the window, gently lifting the curtains and bringing a hint of coolness.

Jiang Qiong's concentration was slightly interrupted by the wind, but he quickly came back to his senses and continued to focus on the alchemy furnace.

As time went by, the light in the furnace became brighter and the medicinal fragrance became stronger.

Finally, after a slight "ding" sound, the lid of the alchemy furnace was gently pushed open, wisps of green smoke came out, and then several crystal clear pills appeared.

Jiang Qiong was delighted and quickly took out the pill. He looked at it carefully and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"The pills I refined this time should be able to help me improve my cultivation."

Jiang Qiong said softly, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but sigh that it was a great blessing in life to be able to enjoy the fun of alchemy on such a night.

As the night deepened, the private room became quiet and silent, with only the occasional slight sound coming from the alchemy furnace.

Jiang Qiong sat quietly on the tatami, holding the freshly refined pill in her hand, her heart full of anticipation.

Jiang Qiong gently placed a crystal clear pill in her palm and looked at it carefully.

This pill exudes a faint spiritual light, as if it contains endless spirituality.

After some refining, he was full of expectations for the effect of this pill and decided to try swallowing it.

"I hope this pill can help me."

Jiang Qiong muttered to herself as she slowly put the pill into her mouth, feeling the instant coolness and sweetness, as if a warm spiritual power was instantly spreading throughout her body.

The pill turned into a stream of spiritual energy and slid down the throat into the stomach. Jiang Qiong closed her eyes and quietly felt the spiritual energy flowing through her body.

As the pill melted, spiritual energy quickly gathered into his dantian like a trickle, bringing a warm and comfortable feeling.

"Such a strong spiritual power!" Jiang Qiong was shocked and realized that the power of this pill was far beyond his expectations.

The spiritual energy surged in his body like a violent storm, as if it was trying to awaken every inch of spiritual power in his body.

He took a deep breath and began to guide this spiritual energy, trying to merge it with the spiritual power in his body.

Jiang Qiong slowly sat down cross-legged, formed a seal with his hands, and silently recited the formula used in alchemy, trying to turn this spiritual energy into his own use. "Spiritual energy, return to my body."

He whispered to himself, silently guiding the spiritual energy to his dantian, feeling the fusion of the spiritual energy with the spiritual power in his body.

As time went by, the spiritual energy in Dantian increased, like a surging ocean, rushing towards every part of his body.

"This power... is unbelievable!" Jiang Qiong sighed in his heart, realizing that he was about to have a breakthrough.

He tried hard to keep his mind calm, focused on the changes in his body, and tried to turn this spiritual energy into his own strength.

As spiritual energy continued to gather, Jiang Qiong felt that the spiritual power in his body began to become unstable, as if it was hitting a certain limit.

This is the precursor to a breakthrough.

Jiang Qiong closed her eyes and silently recited in her heart, "No obstacles, no hindrances, the mind is like a clear mirror", trying to maintain inner peace.

"Come on!" Jiang Qiong shouted, a fearless courage surged in his heart. He let the spiritual energy roll in his body and impact the shackles of his spiritual power.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy in his dantian poured out like a flood, turning into a powerful force that spread throughout his body.

"Breakthrough!" Jiang Qiong roared in his heart. Under the impact of this force, the spiritual power in his body finally broke through the invisible barrier and instantly poured into every cell of his body.

This was followed by an intense feeling of dizziness, as if the whole world was spinning.

"I... succeeded!" Jiang Qiong felt ecstatic, realizing that he had broken through the realm and the concentration of his spiritual power was completely different from before.

He felt the spiritual power in his body surging like a tide, as if every inch of his skin was cheering.

He slowly opened his eyes and found that the scenery around him had become exceptionally clear. He could even feel subtle fluctuations in the spiritual energy in the air.

Jiang Qiong felt excited and realized that she had entered a new realm.

"It's so comfortable!" Jiang Qiong whispered to herself, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.

After this breakthrough, not only did his cultivation level improve, but his control over his spiritual power also became more refined, as if he could manipulate the surrounding spiritual energy at will.

Jiang Qiong stood up, feeling the surging spiritual power in his body, and secretly rejoiced that this trip to refine the elixir not only allowed him to harvest precious elixirs, but also allowed him to take an important step on the path of cultivation.

"Next, I will make good use of this time to consolidate my cultivation."

Jiang Qiong thought to himself and decided to continue practicing in this quiet night to further improve his realm.

He sat down again and began to mobilize the spiritual power in his body, feeling the flow of spiritual energy.

As time went by, the spiritual power in his Dantian became more and more abundant, as if a fire had been ignited in his heart, driving him forward.

As the night deepens, the moonlight shines on the window, casting a silvery-white glow.

Jiang Qiong's figure appeared particularly firm in this light.

"I will work harder and will never let this opportunity go to waste."

He prayed silently in his heart, strengthened his faith, and continued to pursue his path of cultivation in this quiet room.

As time goes by.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the curtains into the private room, and the warm light awakened Jiang Qiong who was immersed in cultivation.

Opening his eyes, he felt the spiritual power in his body still surging like a tide, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

He stood up, straightened his clothes and walked out.

"I'm going home today." Jiang Qiong whispered to herself, with a hint of anticipation in her heart.

This time, he returned to the Jiang family not only to see his relatives, but also to continue to improve his cultivation in the family.

As Jiang Qiong went out, Lu Feng arrived as promised not long after, accompanied by a young woman, a middle-aged man and others.

"Jiang Qiong, are you ready?" Lu Feng asked with a smile.

"We're ready, let's go." Jiang Qiong nodded.

The four of them walked out of the inn together and headed towards Lingzhou Mountain along the path.

The air in the early morning is fresh and moist. The flowers and plants on the street look particularly bright under the sunlight, and the birds are singing happily on the branches.

Walking all the way to the foot of Lingzhou Mountain, the scene in front of him made Jiang Qiong stop and take a deep breath.

Lingzhou Mountain is majestic and tall, with clouds and mist lingering in the mountains, making it look like a fairyland.

There are various kinds of spirit boats parked on the mountain, colorful and in various shapes. Some are like flying birds, while others are like giant beasts lying on the ground, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

"These spiritual boats are specially designed for cultivators and are extremely fast."

The young woman said softly.

"Well, the spirit boat can not only travel on the water, but also fly with the help of spiritual energy, saving a lot of time."

Lu Feng responded.

Jiang Qiong approached a uniquely shaped spiritual boat. The hull was flickering with a faint light, as if it contained endless spiritual power.

He gently stroked the hull, feeling the fluctuations of spiritual energy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a magical spiritual boat."

"Let's go buy tickets." The middle-aged man said with a smile and led the way to the ticket office of Lingzhou Mountain.

The four of them came to the ticket office, where some monks were lined up at the door.

After waiting in line for a while, it was finally their turn.

"Excuse me, do you still have spirit boat tickets to Jiang County?" Lu Feng asked.

"Of course, a spirit boat ticket is ten spirit stones for a one-way trip." The ticket seller replied with a smile.

"Give us four." Lu Feng readily took out the spirit stones and paid for the tickets.

"Here are your tickets. Have a nice trip."

The ticket seller handed them three tickets with a friendly smile on his face.

After getting the ticket, Jiang Qiong became even more excited.

They walked towards where the spirit boat was docked. The spirit boat was swaying gently on the clear lake, as if welcoming their arrival.

"Let's get on board!" the young woman said excitedly, walking towards the spirit boat.

On the deck of the spirit boat, the monks have boarded the ship one after another. The hull is shining brightly in the sun, like a giant bird about to take off.

Jiang Qiong and the other three quickly boarded the boat and found a seat by the window.

"Ready to sail!"

The helmsman on the boat shouted loudly, and then activated the spiritual power device of the spirit boat. The hull trembled slightly, and the spirit boat slowly sailed away from the shore.

As the spirit boat moved forward, the lake sparkled and the surrounding scenery was as beautiful as a painting.

The mountains in the distance are looming in the morning mist, like a fairyland.

Jiang Qiong looked through the window and felt the breeze blowing on her face, which made her feel very happy. (End of this chapter)
