The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

“I have to admit, that brick of yours that night was truly astonishing.”

“But using a brick as a magical tool is still a bit…unconventional, don’t you think?”

Shuang Jiang said to Su Jingzhen as they walked back to the academy, having almost bought all the necessary items.

Su Jingzhen smiled slightly.

“I don’t know, I just felt that using other weapons would be dull and uninteresting after that night. Let’s just go with the flow. If I can find a suitable attacking magical tool, that would be best. If not, it’s not a big deal. What’s meant to be will be, and what’s not meant to be can’t be forced.”

Su Jingzhen’s attitude was extremely carefree, which was also his genuine inner thoughts. If not for the pressure of reality, Su Jingzhen’s approach to life would always be this carefree.

“What’s meant to be will be, and what’s not meant to be can’t be forced…”

At this time, Shuang Jiang was still pondering over Su Jingzhen’s words.

“This kind of mindset is naturally compatible with cultivating immortality, it’s a pity that his Dantian is broken…”

It seemed too cruel that the heavens had given Su Jingzhen such good cultivation qualities and a mindset compatible with the Dao, yet his Dantian was broken, making it impossible for him to cultivate.

As Su Jingzhen walked, he suddenly saw the two consecutive notifications, and his heart was once again excited.

What was going on?

Could it be that he could directly reach 200 today?

He was currently at the fourth layer of the Flesh Body Mysterious Embryo, and if the Surging Spring secret technique were to be opened again, he might be able to reach the sixth layer.

The Body Tempering Liquid had only been used for a third of the bottle.

He suddenly felt that he had the confidence to face Chen Chong.

“Amazing!”

Su Jingzhen’s eyes couldn’t help but look at Shuang Jiang with admiration.

His mood was excellent.

All of this was almost entirely due to Shuang Jiang’s influence.

His life had changed since Shuang Jiang arrived, and the Golden Finger had been activated.

Until now, it had only been less than ten days.

If he could maintain this state for another two and a half years, he wouldn’t say that he could directly take off, but at least he would have no problem establishing himself in the cultivation world.

At this time, he had even more confidence in his future.

……

As they passed by Luo Yuebai’s house, they saw that he was no longer sitting there, and the door was tightly closed.

They also gave up on the idea of inviting him for a drink.

The two of them returned to the academy as the sky began to darken.

Nighttime was more suitable for Su Jingzhen to refine pills.

However, after returning to the quiet room, Su Jingzhen directly took out the new magical robe he had just bought.

“MIss Shuang Jiang, why don’t you try it on? It should fit you well. I know you might be leaving soon, and this robe has some defensive abilities, so wearing it can be considered my way of helping you out.”

Su Jingzhen’s expression was sincere, but Shuang Jiang was once again stunned.

She hadn’t expected Su Jingzhen to buy this magical robe for her.

And only now did she notice that this robe was actually designed for women.

This guy…his thoughts were really meticulous.

Her heart was moved, but her face still maintained that disdainful expression.

“You should know my strength, so you should know that this broken robe is useless to me.”

After saying that, she was about to go to bed.

If someone else had heard Shuang Jiang’s words, they might have been offended and taken the robe back.

But Su Jingzhen, with the Golden Finger, saw the emotional connection points increase by 6 points when Shuang Jiang said those words.

The balance reached 171 points.

This showed that Shuang Jiang’s inner thoughts were not as indifferent as she seemed.

Su Jingzhen smiled and placed the robe on the stone bed.

“As I said before, Miss Shuang Jiang, you taught me alchemy, and I promised to give you half of the profits from the pills. I know you don’t care about those low-grade spirit stones, so consider this robe a token of my gratitude. It’s also to make me feel better.”

These words were sincere, without any pretenses.

After all, before crossing over, he knew about the importance of reciprocity, and he had received too much from Shuang Jiang in these past few days. If he didn’t give back, he would feel embarrassed.

Seeing the points increase, Su Jingzhen smiled, knowing that Shuang Jiang’s heart was moved again.

He didn’t say anything else and took out the cauldron from the corner.

After laying out the materials for the Green Spirit Pill, he took out the white jade plate with extremely small characters engraved on it. Only cultivators who could inject spiritual energy into their eyes could see the characters; otherwise, it would just look like an ordinary jade plate.

Su Jingzhen took a glance and memorized the characters.

Then, he began to sense the materials, lit the fire, and started the refining process.

Although the Green Spirit Pill was more expensive than the Qi-replenishing Pill, the difficulty of refining it was about the same for Su Jingzhen.

The first attempt was a failure, as expected.

But from the second attempt onwards, the quiet room was filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

……

As Su Jingzhen was refining the pills with all his might.

In a certain attic in Cuiliu Alley.

“Dean, the situation in Linjiang City has become increasingly chaotic these past two days.”

“Shouldn’t we take advantage of the situation and stir up some trouble?”

“The Huayang Sect’s Spirit Awakening Ceremony is only two days away.”

“To avoid a setback, it might be better for that person to just disappear.”

Opposite Chen Chong sat a thin, middle-aged man with gloomy eyes.

Without waiting for Chen Chong to respond, he continued, “From the clues we’ve gathered, it’s clear that Cuiliu School was indeed sabotaged by Su Jingzhen.”

“Although we don’t know how he did it, it’s further proof that this person can’t be left alive.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Chong’s eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

It seemed like he was weighing the pros and cons.

Cuiliu School had suffered a great loss due to Lin Ping’s death, and they had been forced to sacrifice a teacher to take the blame.

That person had been stripped of their cultivation and expelled from Linjiang City, and was probably already dead.

This loss, this hatred, Chen Chong couldn’t bear it.

“Ah~”

After a long time, Chen Chong let out a sigh.

But he shook his head and said, “Cuiliu School’s grudge must be avenged with blood, and Enlightenment School in Linjiang City must be integrated.”

“But not now, not today.”

“According to the news from Huayang Sect, Jinshi will come out of seclusion tomorrow.”

“Huayang Sect might promote Jinshi to an inner sect disciple during the Spirit Awakening Ceremony, in front of many cultivators in Linjiang City.”

“This is the ultimate honor for my Chen family.”

“I can’t let my personal matters affect Jinshi’s promotion to inner sect disciple.”

He paused before continuing, “As long as Jinshi can be promoted, what’s the harm in letting Su Jingzhen live for a few more days?”

“We need to make it clear that without Zhang Xiu, Su Jingzhen is just a beginner in cultivation.”

“We’ve been overestimating him all along.”

“Once Jinshi is promoted, Zhang Xiu will be nothing but an ant!”

“And what if Peach Blossom Alley’s Enlightenment School still has a good Spirit Awakening result? What then?”

“As long as Jinshi is promoted, integration will be a matter of things!”

In Chen Chong’s view, his personal matters, no matter how important, had to take a backseat to Jinshi’s promotion to inner sect disciple.

He knew what was most important.

Of course, it was also because of this caution that he had managed to survive for so long.

After all, when Shuang Jiang was around, Su Jingzhen wouldn’t let her take the initiative to help eliminate hidden dangers.

But he was very much looking forward to these enemies taking the initiative to come to him.
