The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 435: Relieving Stress

On the way back from the Alchemist Association, Su Jingzhen abandoned his original plan to visit the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

The pill transaction with Feng Qingya would have to be put on hold for a few more days.

Moreover, he didn’t want to encounter Six Heavenly Generals along the way.

Although he wasn’t afraid of them, he didn’t want to waste any time.

It was already afternoon, and the sun was setting.

He had to hurry back and discuss things with Luo Yuebai and the others.

And he absolutely had to inform Xuening.

No one was more qualified to be involved in this matter than Xuening.

He didn’t know if it was because Wind’s tragic death at the hands of Shen Yifeng two days ago completely frightened the other four guys.

When Su Jingzhen returned to the Evil Moon Sect, everything was calm.

Nothing unexpected had happened.

Without any delay, Su Jingzhen went straight to Luo Yuebai’s courtyard.

And as it happened, Luo Yuebai was there at that moment.

Seeing Su Jingzhen approach, her face unconsciously flushed red.

She thought Su Jingzhen couldn’t hold back his excitement even though it wasn’t completely dark yet.

“It’s not even dark yet, what brings you here now?

Although most people in the Linjiang Branch probably already know, we are the Sect Master and the Chief Acolyte, some things should be kept a little more restrained.

It’s to avoid any bad impressions.”

Seeing Su Jingzhe coming, Luo Yuebai started to mutter to himself.

Su Jingzhen wore a hint of helplessness on his face.

He didn’t expect that his image in front of Luo Yuebai would be so impatient.

“Yuebai, what are you thinking about all day?”

Su Jingzhen chuckled.

“Although I do want to be with you all night long, I’m not the kind of person who can’t live without something. I came here because I have something important to discuss with you.”

Luo Yuebai’s cheeks flushed even redder.

After teasing her, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate. He told Luo Yuebai everything he had heard from Ye Zhiqiu.

“It seems Shadow Hall is still not up to par,”

Luo Yuebai said, her first reaction being anger at Shadow Hall’s incompetence.

“Yunshan and the people who are mainly responsible should all be taught a lesson.

Such important information, and the Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch still has to rely on the Alchemist Association to obtain it.”

Su Jingzhen smiled: “It’s not entirely their fault.

After all, the Dantai Clan has been dormant for so many years, and the changes in the surrounding chaotic energy and restrictions are not something that ordinary cultivators would notice.

Besides, according to Ye Zhiqiu, although the chaotic forces around the Dantai Clan ruins are weakening, it will probably take some time before they can enter.”

At least in Su Jingzhen’s view, Shadow Hall was quite good.

He was quite satisfied with the information Yunshan had provided him on both occasions.

Luo Yuebai nodded slightly: “Let’s not talk about Shadow Hall for now. We must inform the Third Grandfather and Xuening about this matter as soon as possible.

Even if it’s just for Xuening, our Linjiang Branch must participate.”

In this regard, Luo Yuebai’s thoughts were the same as Su Jingzhen’s.

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered the destination of the Seventh Elder Xiong Wensheng and the others when they came to the Linjiang Branch two days ago.

“The main sect… wouldn’t have already known about this news, would they…”

As soon as she said this, Su Jingzhen was also taken aback.

He then laughed: “Whether they know or not, it doesn’t matter. Xuening is with us, they can’t take her away.”

…

Soon the two of them went their separate ways.

Su Jingzhen went straight to Clear Wind Mountain Canyon, while Luo Yuebai went to find Shen Yifeng.

In Luo Yuebai’s view, even if their Linjiang Branch was going to be involved, Shen Yifeng had to lead the way.

She was also very clear that this time, the situation at the Dantai Clan ruins would probably be quite serious.

It would be a collision of the top forces in Qingzhou and even several surrounding states.

The Dantai Clan, while a fleeting force in Qingzhou, was too special and too important.

…

On his way to Clear Wind Mountain, Su Jingzhen took the exclusive route, fearing any unexpected delays.

Luckily, he reached the canyon without any trouble.

It was the same spot where Su Jingzhen had brought Xuening and the others before.

The stone walls around them were already carved with numerous, evenly sized stone chambers.

Many alchemists believed that alchemy was a private matter, requiring a quiet environment to focus.

There were dozens of these chambers, with Xuening in the central one.

Su Jingzhen saw her still in a state of alchemy.

He didn’t choose to disturb her.

He waited quietly for Xuening to finish refining her pills and exit the state of Pure Dan Heart before entering.

“Big Brother Su, you’re here,”

Xuening said with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

As soon as she saw Su Jingzhen, she gave him six points.

Then, she looked at Su Jingzhen expectantly: “The previous batch of pills, everyone’s quality is quite good, it’s definitely improved compared to usual, so it must have sold for a good price, right?

I have already listed the materials we need, the more the better.

I’ve also asked their opinions, and they’re all reluctant to leave in the short term. At least they want to wait until their alchemy skills reach a bottleneck before considering going out.”

Xuening was extremely excited as she spoke.

In the past two days in the secluded land, even Zhao Tianming, who was used to a life of luxury, had been immersed in alchemy day and night.

The alchemists of the Dan Hall had never experienced such an environment before.

They all saw the opportunity to improve their alchemy skills.

Everyone was full of energy, and Xuening was naturally very pleased.

Listening to Xuening’s words, Su Jingzhen’s expression became quite heavy.

Seeing this, Xuening’s big eyes blinked worriedly.

“Big Brother Su, what’s wrong?”

“The batch of pills I received from you is still with me, and I haven’t sold them yet. I haven’t had a chance to purchase the materials you need,” Su Jingzhen said.

As soon as Su Jingzhen said this, Xuening’s furrowed brows relaxed.

“That’s all? Everyone should have enough materials on hand to continue refining for another two or three days.

There’s no rush, Big Brother Su, you can do it whenever you have time,” Xuening said, still understanding as ever.

However, Su Jingzhen shook his head again.

He didn’t intend to keep Xuening in the dark.

“Something has happened in the Qingzhou region, and it is related to the Dantai Clan. The ruins of the Dantai Clan are about to appear. I’m afraid major forces from Qingzhou and surrounding states will all flock there,” he said.

Hearing this, the smile on Xuening’s face froze.

Her expression gradually became complicated.

“The…Dantai Clan ruins are going to be fully opened? Big Brother Su, what’s going on?”

Xuening and Ling’er had grown up with Dantai Mingjing.

Although they were members of the Dantai Clan, they had never benefited from the glory of the Dantai Clan.

Hearing the news of the Dantai Clan ruins appearing, Xuening couldn’t help but be concerned.

Su Jingzhen told Xuening everything he knew.

Although their Linjiang Branch had already decided to participate, as a key figure, Xuening’s decision still mattered.

“Big Brother Su, if you’re going, take me with you. I’ve never seen the Dantai Clan’s former glory, but I want to see its twilight. Besides, I haven’t seen Grandpa and Little Ling in a long time,” Xuening said.

Xuening was simple-minded and focused on alchemy. She did not want to get involved in other matters.

But that didn’t mean she was naive.

The Dantai Clan had been hidden for so long, and the news of the ruins appearing came shortly after her grandfather and sister left.

Xuening didn’t believe that this matter had nothing to do with her grandfather.

Moreover, she knew that this trip would likely give her a chance to see her grandfather and Little Ling again.

Su Jingzhen knew Xuening would make this decision.

He nodded solemnly: “Okay. If you need anything in the Dantai Clan ruins, just tell Big Brother Su. Even if it means risking everything, I will get it for you.”

“Thank you, Big Brother Su…”

Xuening’s heart was in turmoil and confusion, making her emotions easily swayed.

Three consecutive points of emotional connection surged from Xuening.

Su Jingzhen didn’t feel much surprise, only a pang of pity.

Xuening hadn’t experienced the Dantai Clan’s glory, nor had she suffered the pain of its fall.

But now, with the ruins reappearing, as a member of the Dantai Clan, she would have to witness certain facts that would inevitably be heartbreaking.

It was rather cruel.

Immediately, the two left the secluded land without disturbing the other alchemists in the Dan Hall or the younger generation of the Bai Family.

They quietly returned to the Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch.

Night fell.

Xuening went straight back to her courtyard.

She didn’t want to think about alchemy tonight, she needed to adjust her state and rest well.

She knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, their departure would likely be tomorrow.

She needed to be full of energy.

Luo Yuebai’s courtyard was right next to Xuening’s.

After sending Xuening back, Su Jingzhen naturally went into Luo Yuebai’s room.

Luo Yuebai had already gone to find Shen Yifeng.

For this matter, she had only informed him.

As long as Su Jingzhen and she had made a joint decision, Shen Yifeng would only be responsible for their safety.

So Luo Yuebai was in her room.

After a while, the lights in her room went out, and the formation restrictions outside rose.

Before a major event, perhaps a few rounds would help relieve the pressure and worries in their heart.
