The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 72: Changes at Clear Wind Mountain?

Thinking of how Su Jingzhe controlled the situation at Cuiliu Academy last night, Chen Jinshi was still a little unhappy.

Today, within the Huayang Sect, this was his domain, and the rules were set by him.

He naturally wanted to take control of Su Jingzhen as he pleased.

Su Jingzhen was taken aback, his eyes narrowing slightly.

But the other party did not directly say that they did not want them to awaken their spirits, and if he were to force the issue, he would fall into a disadvantageous position.

Although Su Jingzhen had already gained some confidence, he didn’t want to act impulsively.

So, he simply smiled faintly and nodded at Chen Jinshi, indicating that he didn’t mind.

“There are some people who should stay in their place, and if they try to stir up trouble to attract attention, they will only end up hurting themselves.”

Just then, a faint, mocking voice suddenly entered Su Jingzhen’s ears.

Following the sound, he saw that Yan Xia had already walked up to him.

However, she only mocked him once and didn’t give him any further attention.

The focus returned to Chen Jinshi and the Spirit Tower in front of them.

Su Jingzhen still maintained a smile on his face, saying nothing.

As for Yan Xia, he didn’t want to bother with her.

He had already been in the cultivation world for two and a half years, and hiding his head in the sand for a while longer wouldn’t be a big deal.

He was in a good mood.

At this time, he didn’t notice that Luo Yuebai, who was beside him, didn’t make any sarcastic remarks in this situation.

Luo Yuebai’s gaze was fixed on the vast and endless Clear Wind Mountain in front of them, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Because, at this moment, only Shuang Jiang saw that Luo Yuebai was hiding a small, extremely fast, and extremely obscure insect in his folded fan.

A subtle wave of energy flashed across it, apparently a special communication method.

Shuang Jiang’s gaze condensed, also looking towards Clear Wind Mountain.

But she only took a glance before withdrawing her gaze, still expressionless.

Luo Yuebai, however, took a step forward, his expression slightly serious as he looked at Su Jingzhen.

“Friend Su, we should hurry up with today’s matters. Otherwise, these children may have to wait until next year to awaken their spirits. If we delay for a year after the suitable age, it will be a great loss.”

As long as one reaches the age, they can awaken their spiritual roots and start cultivating. Delaying for a year would indeed be a great loss.

However, Su Jingzhen couldn’t understand the meaning behind Luo Yuebai’s words.

Although they had established a connection of mutual understanding, Su Jingzhen still felt a bit uneasy.

But he knew that Luo Yuebai wouldn’t harm him under their current relationship.

He also knew that Luo Yuebai was giving him a reminder.

This guy didn’t come to Huayang Sect just to watch the excitement.

Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, but his face still showed a puzzled expression as he asked, “Friend Luo, what do you mean?”

Luo Yuebai smiled again, “It means exactly what it says, Friend Su. You still have some time, but not much.”

His words were ambiguous, and he didn’t explain further.

However, Su Jingzhen subtly understood, and his gaze unconsciously shifted to Shuang Jiang beside him.

The latter also nodded slightly.

At this time, Su Jingzhen saw that Luo Yuebai’s gaze frequently shifted towards Clear Wind Mountain in front of them.

His heart sank again.

Could it be that something was about to happen on Clear Wind Mountain?

Thinking of this, he looked towards the Spirit Tower in front of him again.

At this time, people were already entering it one after another.

However, these people were all previous failures.

Although they were unwilling, they couldn’t change the current situation.

Most of them couldn’t awaken their spiritual roots again, so their speed was quite fast.

Thinking about this, Su Jingzhen didn’t take any rash actions.

After all, Luo Yuebai said he still had some time, and he believed that Luo Yuebai wouldn’t shoot blindly.

As he thought this, the Spirit Tower had already reached Yan Xia’s turn.

She first sincerely handed over ten low-grade spirit stones to a Huayang Sect disciple beside her.

Then, she walked up to Chen Jinshi and respectfully bowed to him.

Today, she was still dressed up, and as she bowed, she showcased her many charms to Chen Jinshi.

What did this represent? Everyone understood without needing to be told.

Chen Jinshi smiled and nodded at her.

“Miss Yan, please! If you can successfully awaken your spiritual roots, then there might be some opportunities.”

Chen Jinshi smiled and said to Yan Xia, his words filled with hidden implications.

Although he was passionate about Feng Qingya and admired her greatly, even considering her as his own.

But in the cultivation world, a strong cultivator with multiple concubines was not uncommon.

Yan Xia was beautiful and had a submissive personality, so even if he took her in without marrying her, no one could say anything.

Hearing Chen Jinshi’s words, Yan Xia’s face lit up, and she walked into the Spirit Tower.

Very quickly, a faint red light appeared on the tower.

As a pseudo-spiritual roots holder, this was a normal phenomenon.

However, she stood inside for a long time, allowing the energy of the spirit stones to examine her body.

But the tower didn’t change at all, and she was still just a pseudo-spiritual roots holder, with no miracle occurring.

Yan Xia’s face was extremely disappointed, and she had already tried many times.

The cost had been considerable, and this time, it still didn’t work out, perhaps it was just her fate.

Walking out of the Spirit Tower, Yan Xia still smiled sweetly at Chen Jinshi and returned to Yan Chixiao’s side.

Su Jingzhen looked at her, feeling that something was off about this woman.

If she was just a pseudo-spiritual roots holder, Yan Chixiao, a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, wouldn’t waste so many resources on her.

It would be better to cultivate a group of excellent disciples instead of wasting resources on her.

However, he only thought about this and didn’t dwell on it further.

In just half an hour, the previous failures had all finished their attempts.

As expected, none of them had awakened their spiritual roots.

After all, this was something innate, and no matter how many times they tried, it wouldn’t change.

Chen Jinshi comforted Yan Xia and the others, then bowed to the guests again.

“Thank you all for watching, and this Spirit Awakening Ceremony might be ending here.”

He didn’t even mention the five ordinary spiritual roots holders, which was quite embarrassing.

For those who came to watch the excitement, it was a disappointing show.

However, Chen Jinshi’s direct announcement of the ceremony’s end still left Su Jingzhen stunned.

He didn’t care about much and directly walked up to Chen Jinshi.

“What’s going on, Daoist Chen? Are you not going to let them participate just because you’re afraid of losing?”

Seeing that Su Jingzhe finally stood up, the warm smile on Chen Jinshi’s face gradually turned into a teasing one.
