The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 81: Destined

“These are all people who came down from Clear Wind Mountain!”

Su Jingzhen’s expression turned serious again.

Originally, one drunkard was already making him feel a bit uneasy.

Now, eight Golden Core cultivators had appeared again.

Unless Shuang Jiang took action, he was truly at a loss.

“What are you worried about?”

Seemingly sensing Su Jingzhen’s tension, Shuang Jiang’s mouth curved into a slight smile.

She said, “Don’t you want me to find a good master for that girl? You can also choose from these people. They should all be from powerful sects of this generation. Let her learn from them for a short period, and it should be enough.”

As Shuang Jiang spoke, her gaze fell upon the eight strong cultivators who had just arrived.

However, after scanning them, she shook her head slightly, looking somewhat disappointed.

Su Jingzhen’s heart stirred, and he caught the key phrase in Shuang Jiang’s words.

Short-term!

Yes, even if Ning Yao’s spiritual roots were exceptionally excellent, she still hadn’t started cultivating.

One had to take things one step at a time, and the sects in the Qingzhou region should be enough to lay a solid foundation for Ning Yao in the short term.

If he could fly high in the future, he could take her to an even broader world.

Thinking of this, Su Jingzhen’s heart suddenly felt relieved.

As Shuang Jiang had said earlier, why couldn’t Ning Yao, with her exceptional talent, follow him?

What qualifications did he have to teach her?

After all, he, Su Jingzhen, was currently just a small-time cultivator.

With Ning Yao’s spiritual roots, no matter which sect she joined, he wouldn’t have to worry about them treating her poorly.

Because it was impossible.

No matter which sect she joined, they would likely treat Ning Yao like a treasure.

The major sects in the cultivation world valued these geniuses because once they entered the sect, they would have a lifelong connection.

In the future, if they became extremely powerful, even if they didn’t stay in the sect, their influence would still protect the sect for many years.

Furthermore, there was the concept of fate, where a sect that had produced an extraordinary strong cultivator would have its fate continuously increase which allowed the sect to flourish.

That’s why Chen Jinshi’s earlier attempt to directly kill Ning Yao had shocked everyone.

After all, at that time, everyone had subconsciously thought that Ning Yao could choose to join the Huayang Sect.

In the cultivation world, even rival factions would not usually kill off a newly emerging genius.

This was a behavior that all cultivators would despise.

As Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang conversed, the eight Golden Core cultivators surrounding the Spirit Awakening Tower were still gazing intently at the Senior Jiuchi.

“Senior Jiuchi, if you want to take in a disciple, countless geniuses from Qingzhou and even broader regions will come to pay their respects. This time, in the Linjiang City region, a spiritual root of this quality has finally appeared. Senior Jiuchi, please don’t compete with us juniors.”

“Yes, we’ve heard that Senior Jiuchi is fond of nurturing talent. We lack a worthy successor, so please, Senior Jiuchi, let us juniors have a chance.”

“……”

These eight cultivators all had extraordinary auras, but when facing Senior Jiuchi, they were extremely humble.

Usually, they were high and mighty, but at this moment, they couldn’t help but flatter Senior Jiuchi.

In the square, there were also people from their sects who had received the transmission and had rushed over quickly.

That was a single-attribute earth spiritual root, and it might even be a heavenly spiritual root!

This kind of talent, once taken into their sect, would likely bring great prosperity to the sect in the next thousand years.

They were extremely clear about the value of this level of spiritual root. As long as they didn’t meet an untimely demise during their cultivation journey, their future achievements would be unmatched!

A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could dominate in a small place like Linjiang City.

A Golden Core stage cultivator could stand firm in a higher-level region like Yunmeng City.

An old monster at the Nascent Soul stage could gain great fame throughout the entire Qingzhou region.

Just like Senior Jiuchi in front of them.

As for the Soul Formation stage cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, they could suppress the fate of the entire Qingzhou region.

Although there were still many powerful cultivators at the Soul Formation stage and above in the entire cultivation world, they were rarely seen in Qingzhou.

So, they were not within the scope of discussion and imagination for these people.

At this moment, the eight Golden Core cultivators were all secretly regretful.

They regretted not having their sect’s leader come personally to handle the Clear Wind Mountain incident.

If the sect leader had come personally, they might not have needed to be afraid of Senior Jiuchi, and competing for the girl would have been more advantageous.

As the eight Golden Core cultivators flattered him, Senior Jiuchi took out another wine jug and drank two mouthfuls.

He laughed and said, “What’s so great about this spiritual root? Don’t be deceived by those little guys in your sect.”

“The Spirit Awakening Tower of Huayang Sect has been problematic from the start, and the detection was incorrect. Didn’t you see that I’ve already destroyed it? This girl’s spiritual root is just average, but she just happens to have a fate with old me. So, you can just forget about it.”

For cultivators, the phrase “having a fate with me” was the most ironclad explanation.

The eight Golden Core cultivators’ faces suddenly turned ugly.

They had said all the nice words, but Senior Jiuchi clearly still didn’t want to give in.

Just as they were thinking of saying something else or directly joining forces, Senior Jiuchi laughed and said, “That’s enough, this matter ends here. You can all forget about this girl. I arrived late and didn’t catch up with your Clear Wind Mountain excitement, so I don’t intend to take away the opportunities that I should have had. So, you can all forget about competing with me for this girl.”

As he spoke, Jiuchi’s aura began to surge.

The implicit meaning of his words was, “I won’t take what’s yours, so you’d better not think about taking what’s mine.”

After speaking, Senior Jiuchi ignored the eight Golden Core cultivators.

He patted the wine jug under him, and it quickly shrank and landed in his hand.

Then, Senior Jiuchi directly descended from the void and stood in front of Ning Yao.

Ning Yao’s big eyes became even more tense.

At this time, Su Jingzhen saw Shuang Jiang’s lips move, as ifs he was transmitting a message.

He knew that Shuang Jiang was talking to Ning Yao.

On the other side, Ning Yao subconsciously glanced at Shuang Jiang and the others.

Her expression suddenly became calm.

“Little girl, have you thought it through?” Senior Jiuchi asked Ning Yao again, smiling.

As soon as he spoke, the eight Golden Core cultivators’ eyes lit up again.

Earlier, they had been intimidated by Senior Jiuchi’s might, and now they didn’t dare say anything more.

They could only plan for the long term, but looking at the situation, was there still a chance?

If Ning Yao said no, Senor Jiuchi taking her away by force would be impolite.

In that case, the eight of them would join forces to keep Ning Yao.

In their view, the eight Golden Core cultivators joining forces would be enough to give them the confidence to fight.
