The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 386: Ning Yao’s Return

“Mr. Su!”

Before Su Jingzhen could even react, a joyful voice echoed from atop the gourd.

An old man and a young girl stood on the gourd.

If not the Jiuchi and Ning Yao whom he was talking about before, who else could they be?

Ning Yao was dressed in white, and her already beautiful face seemed to have become even more lively.

She was totally a lively little fairy.

She stood in stark contrast to Jiuchi’s disheveled appearance.

Like an old beggar and a princess.

Seeing this, a smile of surprise spread across Su Jingzhen’s face.

Before he could say anything, Ning Yao jumped down from the gourd.

Her feet landed on a translucent, slender sword!

Sword flight!

This sight truly shocked Su Jingzhen.

Ning Yao had only been enlightened for a little over a month.

To be able to fly with a sword already?

That was the Foundation Establishment!

From enlightenment to Foundation Establishment in just over a month.

This was severely challenging Su Jingzhen’s understanding of the cultivation world.

He couldn’t help but wonder if Ning Yao also had a system like his.

But before Su Jingzhen could think further, Ning Yao excitedly approached him.

She initially wanted to rush into Su Jingzhen’s arms, but stopped herself two steps away.

She bowed respectfully to Su Jingzhen.

“Mr. Su, Ning Yao is back to see you.”

Su Jingzhen’s eyes were filled with excitement and joy.

He instinctively reached out and ruffled the little girl’s hair.

Just like always.

At that moment, on the roof of a house not far from Su Jingzhen’s courtyard, Shen Yifeng glanced in their direction.

Then he silently returned to his own courtyard.

He had sensed their arrival the moment they came.

But when he saw it was Jiuchi, he didn’t mind.

After all, he knew the relationship between Jiuchi and Su Jingzhen.

He didn’t intend to greet him at this time.

“Girl, your cultivation…”

Su Jingzhen asked Ning Yao directly.

The other party’s Ning Yao Sword flight just now was too shocking.

And at this time, Jiuchi had already put away his wine gourd and landed in the courtyard.

“What’s so surprising, with this girl’s talent and the old man’s careful guidance.

Are you surprised that it took only one month to build a solid foundation?

This is all because I let the girl progress step by step and take it slow.

Otherwise it will only be more terrifying than it is now.

You are destined to never know the world of geniuses.”

Jiuchi didn’t seem awkward with Su Jingzhen at all.

He laughed directly like this.

It can be heard from his words that he was extremely satisfied with Ning Yao.

But at this time he was not interested in exploring Su Jingzhen’s body again.

Otherwise, his expression would probably be quite interesting.

Ning Yao also smiled: “A few days ago, Master took me to Holy City to grab a water spirit pearl. I just completed the Foundation Establishment with the power of that water spirit pearl.

Now I’m at the first level of Foundation Establishment, but in two days I might reach the second level of Foundation Establishment.”

When she said this, Ning Yao’s voice was also extremely excited.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiu protected Ning Yao very well and did not let her be exposed to the sinister hearts of people in the world of immortal cultivation too early.

But Ning Yao also knew that the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment stage represented what it meant to Linjiang City at that time?

If she had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment stage at that time, she could have protected her mother very well.

Su Jingzhen could also see that Ning Yao should have a high regard for Jiuchi during this period.

After a while, the shock in Su Jingzhen’s heart subsided.

He himself had a system, so what was so strange about seeing a top genius appear in the cultivation world?

If you had to talk about rationality, then his possession of a system was the biggest anomaly.

After all, since Su Jingzhen awakened his system, it had only been for less than two months, and he had already achieved Flesh Body Golden Embryo, a third-grade alchemist, and condensed a divine consciousness of seventh-stage.

This kind of achievement is much more outrageous than Ning Yao’s.

“Mr. Su, my mother… has there been any news about my mother?”

After chatting with Su Jingzhen for a while, Ning Yao finally asked about Sister-In-Law Zhang Xiu.

Her big eyes were full of anticipation.

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s eyes narrowed.

He was most afraid of Ning Yao asking about this.

Because at present, he really didn’t know what to tell Ning Yao.

He reached out and touched Ning Yao’s long hair again: “Your mother is not currently in Linjiang City, nor in Qingzhou.

But Mr. Su assures you that she is still alive in this world.”

Yes, Su Jingzhen could only promise Ning Yao at this time that sister-in-law Zhang Xiu was still alive.

As for the rest, where she was, how to find her, and how she was doing now… Su Jingzhen knew nothing.

And he didn’t choose to deceive Ning Yao with lies.

After all, Ning Yao was naturally intelligent and already thirteen or fourteen years old, and her cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

It was impossible to hide it from her.

As for the words sister-in-law Zhang Xiu left him in that canyon, Su Jingzhen still chose not to tell Ning Yao.

As soon as these words came out, Ning Yao’s eyes dimmed slightly.

“Since my mother is still alive, that’s enough.

The cultivation world is vast, but one day, we will definitely be able to find my mother.”

Su Jingzhen nodded: “Mr. Su promised to take you to find your mother, so it will definitely be done.

This is my promise to you.”

Su Jingzhen’s tone was very serious.

“Alright, let’s get down to business. Our time is also tight.

I heard that there’s a Water Spirit Saint Body here?

Take us to see it, it just so happens that the girl’s spiritual roots are also water spiritual roots.

It is presumed that when the Water Spirit Saint Body awakened, it also left behind a not insignificant water element field.

For cultivators with water spiritual roots, it is an extremely precious holy object.

Although we are two days late, I believe that with the girl’s spiritual roots, we can still benefit from it.”

Su Jingzhen had a lot to say to Ning Yao, and many things he wanted to ask clearly, but Jiuchi interrupted him.

Su Jingzhen suddenly realized that this was the primary goal of the two of them coming to Linjiang City.

However, he had indeed seen the extremely rich water elements in that forest when Yan Xia left.

“I’ll take you there!”

Since those things were good for Ning Yao, Su Jingzhen naturally wanted her to get them.

“Come on up!”

Jiuchi pointed at his gourd and casually threw it into the void.

The gourd transformed back into a size of about one zhang.

Su Jingzhen and Ning Yao didn’t hesitate, they jumped onto the gourd, and the three of them sped towards Clear Wind Mountain.

“Third Grandpa, that little girl… has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage so quickly.

What a terrifying talent, if we could bring her into our Evil Moon Sect…

Third Grandpa, you shouldn’t be afraid of Jiuchi, right?”

Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng stood on a pavilion, watching the gourd heading towards Clear Wind Mountain.

Luo Yuebai’s eyes flickered with excitement.

When Ning Yao’s spiritual roots awakened, she and Feng Qingya both wanted to compete for her.

But Jiuchi simply ignored them.

Now that Shen Yifeng was stationed here, she saw a chance to compete for Ning Yao again.

Earlier, Luo Yuebai was also watching from a distance and saw Ning Yao flying with her magic weapon.

However, when he heard this, Shen Yifeng gently shook her head.

“Based on the girl’s spiritual root manifestation when she first awakened, her spiritual roots should be heavenly water spiritual roots.

And even with heavenly water spiritual roots, being able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in a month shows that this old fellow Jiuchi’s guidance is indeed quite good.

Or maybe Jiuchi possesses some kind of inheritance that is extremely suitable for the little girl.

Honestly, throughout the Evil Moon Sect, perhaps no one is more suitable for this little girl than Jiuchi.

So if we were to snatch her away, it wouldn’t necessarily be good for her.”

Shen Yifeng’s tone was quite calm as she said this.

It seemed that he didn’t have any such thoughts at all.

Luo Yuebai frowned slightly.

At this moment, Shen Yifeng said again: “Girl, although we are demon cultivators, our thinking should also change a bit.

Sometimes relying solely on force to seize things may not be effective in every situation. The Evil Moon Sect is powerful, but it is only powerful in the Qingzhou region.

There are many, many forces in the entire cultivation world that you can’t even imagine.

Sometimes, forming a good relationship is far better than keeping her by your side.

Moreover, considering the relationship between that girl and Little Su, no matter how high she grows in the future, we will be friends, not enemies.”

Luo Yuebai nodded silently.

She naturally understood all of this.

It’s just that when she recalled Jiuchi’s face-saving behavior, she subconsciously felt a little indignant.

At this moment, Shen Yifeng said again: “Besides, at this time, if I, your Third Grandpa, were to fight Jiuchi, it’s not certain who would win.”

After he spoke, a hint of melancholy crossed his eyes.

This remark startled Luo Yuebai abruptly.

She knew Shen Yifeng’s background very well.

She was well aware that Shen Yifeng was far from his peak strength now.

Even though he was only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage now, many Soul Formation stage cultivators wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in front of him.

However, for Shen Yifeng, with his vast experience, to say such a thing, it surprised her.

Shen Yifeng continued, “You only know that your grandfather isn’t an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, but what about that guy? He’s no ordinary person either.

As a mere wandering cultivator, he was able to make a name for himself in Qingzhou and not fear the major forces, which shows his extraordinary nature.”

After thinking for a moment, he added, “Besides, even though the old guy is just traveling around the world and playing around in the human world. He shouldn’t belong to a barbaric place like Qingzhou.”

As soon as he said this, Luo Yuebai’s heart trembled again.

Even though she had once been the chief saintess of the Evil Moon Sect and was now the sect master of the Linjiang Branch, she was still unfamiliar with many figures in the Qingzhou region.

……

While Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng were talking, Jiuchi, guided by Su Jingzhen, arrived with the two of them at the location where Yan Xia had awakened her Water Spirit Saint Body.

Before they even got close, the three of them felt a wave of intense water elements wash over them.

Su Jingzhen was a little surprised. He felt that when Yan Xia was taken away by the Yan clan that day, the water element fluctuations here hadn’t been this strong.

“After two days, the water elements here seem to have become even more intense.

Could it be that Yan Xia really left something behind when she awakened?”

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.

At this moment, Jiuchi and Ning Yao, both water spiritual root cultivators, showed a hint of joy and even a hint of intoxication on their faces.

“That’s the smell, the Water Spirit Saint Body’s smell. I was fortunate enough to see it once before.

Girl, you’ve been blessed again this time!”

Jiuchi scratched his bird’s nest-like long hair and excitedly said to Ning Yao.

Before they even got close, the three of them saw hundreds of cultivators sitting silently on the surrounding treetops, absorbing the rich water spiritual energy.

People were still arriving from afar on flying artifacts.

Even though it had been two days, Clear Wind Mountain was still bustling with activity.

It wasn’t as calm as Su Jingzhen had imagined.

“This thing isn’t something that any cat or dog is qualified to absorb.

It’s a waste for these guys to absorb it.”

Looking at the figures sitting around, Jiuchi muttered to himself.

Then, his aura suddenly erupted.

“Get out!”

Jiuchi shouted at all the people sitting there.

A single word, “Get out,” transformed into a rolling sound wave, directly waking up all the cultivators who were in a state of cultivation.

The immense pressure emanating from him instantly enveloped everyone.
