The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 52: Attending the Banquet

Body Cultivation, especially body cultivators like Su Jingzhen’s, who had opened up the human body’s secret repository.

From the outside, it’s impossible to tell what level of cultivation one has achieved.

Even Shuang Jiang could only sense it by invading his body with her spiritual power.

As Su Jingzhen’s joyful voice rang out, Shuang Jiang’s mouth curved into a slight smile.

Indeed, everything was going as she had predicted.

Su Jingzhen’s Body Cultivation pace and talent were increasingly satisfactory.

?Emotional Connection+8?

?Remaining usable points: 245?

The golden words flashed before his eyes again, and Su Jingzhen’s excitement grew.

His Body Cultivation had already reached the fifth layer of the Flesh Body Mysterious Embryo, which corresponded to the fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

Moreover, as a legitimate Body Cultivation that opened up the human body’s secret repository, his combat power wouldn’t be inferior to most mid-stage Qi cultivators.

Su Jingzhen estimated that with his current strength, he could defeat Lin Ping in a head-on battle, even without ambushing him.

Moreover, he still had 245 emotional connection points remaining.

With these points, he could open up the Surging Spring acupoint at any time.

As long as he could unlock the Surging Spring acupoint, his physical strength would surge.

Breaking through two more layers of Body Cultivation wouldn’t be a problem.

It was astonishing to think that all these changes had occurred within half a month.

As he thought of this, his gaze towards Shuang Jiang grew increasingly fervent.

What a noble person she was.

From now on, Su Jingzhen had decided that during the limited time Shuang Jiang would be by his side, he would try to obtain as many points as possible.

After all, getting eight points at once was truly exhilarating.

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s fiery gaze, Shuang Jiang’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Her face was still icy, but she didn’t know that the points had already exposed her.

Su Jingzhen smiled and nodded, getting out of the bathtub.

He looked out the window again.

“It’s getting late, let’s get ready to head out. We can’t be too early or too late for the banquet.”

…

It was half an hour later.

Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang, accompanied by Ning Yao, locked up the school gate and headed towards Cuiliu Alley.

With Shuang Jiang by his side, Su Jingzhen didn’t have to worry about any safety issues.

Chen Chong, a prominent figure in Linjiang City, was hosting a banquet to celebrate his nephew Chen Jinshi’s achievement.

Many cultivators had been invited, and the banquet would surely be a grand affair. Bringing Ning Yao along would also occupy an extra seat, which was a good thing.

However, Ning Yao seemed a bit nervous, clinging tightly to Shuang Jiang’s hand.

This scene made Su Jingzhen feel a bit surprised.

The two girls were so intimate, and it seemed that they had gotten along well during his previous trip to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Or perhaps Shuang Jiang had a special affection for this little girl.

At this moment, the three of them looked like a harmonious family of three.

“Daoist Su!”

Just as Su Jingzhen and the others were about to leave Peach Blossom Alley, a slightly surprised voice called out from behind.

Su Jingzhen turned around to see his neighbor, Luo Yuebai.

Luo Yuebai was holding a square box and wore a brand new, crisp white robe, looking even more handsome.

“Daoist Su, you’re not going to the Flower Moon Pavilion to drink flower wine, but to Cuiliu Alley, right?”

As soon as these words came out, Su Jingzhen’s mouth twitched, and hated this guy’s loose tongue.

In the past two and a half years of traveling through the world of immortal cultivation, he had only been there once, right?

This might make Shuang Jiang misunderstand and affect their emotional connection, which would be a huge loss.

Su Jingzhen glanced at Shuang Jiang, who seemed to be smiling but showed no expression.

Su Jingzhen’s heart relaxed a bit, and he turned back to Luo Yuebai.

Avoiding the previous topic, he asked directly, “Are you also going, Daoist Luo?”

Luo Yuebai shook the box in his hand. “I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation from Cuiliu Alley earlier. Since I’ve recently moved from the outer city district, this is a good opportunity to meet some people.”

Then, he looked at Su Jingzhen expectantly. “Shall we go together?”

Su Jingzhen nodded. “It would be best if there are acquaintances who can sit at a table together later.”

Su Jingzhen knew that Shuang Jiang valued this person highly, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to observe him.

Before long, the four of them left Peach Blossom Alley, crossed the main street, and entered Cuiliu Alley.

As they approached the banquet location, Cuiliu School, Luo Yuebai looked at Su Jingzhen’s empty hands.

It seemed he didn’t plan to bring any gifts.

He reminded Su Jingzhen, “I heard that this banquet is being held by the Chen family to celebrate Chen Jinshi’s achievement. Rumor has it that the guy is very likely to be promoted to an inner disciple by Huayang Sect at the same time as the awakening ceremony tomorrow. If Daoist Su goes empty-handed, it may not be appropriate, right?”

In the cultivation world, people’s relationships were often shallow, and cultivators were not known for their emotional depth. However, giving some people faces was still worth it.

In a formal invitation like this, bringing a gift was still necessary.

No matter what world you were in, sometimes you couldn’t avoid interpersonal relationships.

However, upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen smiled and said, “This time they took the initiative to invite us, not that we are shamelessly going. We are eating at the banquet based on our ability and invitation, why should we give gifts? ”

As soon as he said this, Luo Yuebai’s expression froze.

A moment later, his gaze towards Su Jingzhen lit up.

“Well said, dining on our own ability! Daoist Su, you’re indeed a man of character. I, Luo Yuebai, am determined to be friends with you.”

As he spoke, he put away the box in his hand.

It seemed that this guy had finally understood!

Luo Yuebai didn’t know about the grudge between Su Jingzhen and Chen Chong.

But from Su Jingzhen’s words, he sensed that he didn’t get along with Chen Chong.

Compared to Chen Chong, Luo Yuebai’s interest in Su Jingzhen was clearly greater.

At this moment, it was natural to curry favor with him.

As for Shuang Jiang and Ning Yao, they were also stunned when they heard Su Jingzhen’s words, looking at him with a strange gaze, as if they had just met him.

Su Jingzhen didn’t pay attention to the two girls’ gazes, and when he saw Luo Yuebai’s actions, he was also taken aback.

He smiled and didn’t say much.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the gate of Cuiliu School.

Cuiliu School occupied a much larger area than Su Jingzhen’s, with a gate supported by two three-zhang-tall white jade pillars.

Above it hung a huge signboard with the four characters “Cuiliu School” written on it.

It looked truly majestic.

At this moment, Chen Chong stood at the gate, smiling and welcoming the cultivators.

Next to him were two Cuiliu School teachers, who had set up a table to receive gifts.

Looking at the mountain of gifts, Chen Chong’s smile grew even wider.

Relying on Chen Jinshi’s reputation and status, the cultivators who had been invited this time wouldn’t be too stingy with their gifts.

It wasn’t a huge profit, but not a small one either.

At this time, Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai took the lead, with Shuang Jiang and Ning Yao following behind.

They directly approached Chen Chong.
