The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 414: Two Choices
The mist within the canyon was still as thick as ever.
However, Su Jingzhen felt that the canyon was much calmer than before.
Shen Yifeng, who was standing side by side with Su Jingzhe, said with a smile, “I came here to investigate for a long time last night, but I couldn’t figure out what was going on.
However, I did clean up the entire canyon.
All the demonic beasts that had reached the ‘entry-level’ within the canyon have been eliminated by this old man.”
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen and the others were slightly surprised.
The old man’s seriousness about this matter exceeded their expectations.
The group quickly arrived at the location where the anomaly existed.
It still looked like any other part of the canyon.
But in Su Jingzhen’s eyes, the barrier of the anomaly was clearly visible.
“Brother Su, is this it?”
Xuening had been quite excited on the way here.
Seeing everyone stop, she couldn’t help but ask.
Su Jingzhen nodded. “That’s right.”
Hearing his words, everyone’s expressions tightened again.
Their gazes turned towards the thick fog, but they didn’t notice anything unusual.
“Isn’t this place the same as everywhere else?
Can it really improve the quality of our pills when we’re refining them?”
“It can’t be that simple, can it? If just changing the location could improve pill quality, then what’s the point?”
“…”
The alchemists behind Xuening looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion.
Obviously, Xuening had told them some information about this place when she sought them out.
In their perception, this place was indeed an ordinary one.
Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng smiled without saying a word.
Xuening also had a puzzled look in her eyes.
Just as she was about to ask something, Su Jingzhen took a step forward.
His divine consciousness suddenly surged into the sword qi imprint in his sea of consciousness.
With ease, he revealed the barrier.
“This… there really is a special place here!”
“This… is this a barrier?”
“…”
As everyone discussed, Xuening’s eyes lit up again.
Looking at Su Jingzhen, her excitement was beyond words.

Xuening had already given two boosts of Emotional Connection simply by seeing the barrier.
Su Jingzhen smiled, but remained silent.
With a thought, the barrier rippled.
A swirling energy channel formed on its surface.
“Everything controlled here is really different. This barrier seems significantly stronger than when the old woman from the Bai Family discovered it.
At least this time, even with me and her working together, I doubt we could break it.
The difference between forcefully breaking it open and opening it willingly is truly vast,” Shen Yifeng muttered.
“Everyone, follow me in. Once we’re inside, you’ll understand many things.”
Su Jingzhen strode into the vortex channel first.
Shen Yifeng, Luo Yuebai, and Xuening followed without hesitation.
Su Jingzhen’s entrance from this location conveniently avoided the Bai Family members.
The moment they entered the anomaly, Su Jingzhen instantly sensed the Bai Family members’ location in his mind.
At that moment, Bai Susu and the younger generation were still seated in the mist, absorbing the unique energy of the anomaly.
Bai Ying stood silently beside The Pink Poisonous Woman with her arms crossed.
As for Bai Qingshi, who had lost an arm, and the other Nascent Soul cultivator, Bai Qingshan, their expressions grew increasingly impatient.
“Elder, it’s been so long, are we still going to wait here?”
Bai Qingshan, who hadn’t been injured, finally couldn’t help but ask Bai Ying.
“That brat named Su Jingzhe from the Evil Moon Sect must be seriously injured.
Shen Yifeng and the others will likely have to wait until that kid recovers before they come to talk to us.
As you’ve seen, the effect of the cultivation here seems to be quite good for Susu and the others.
However, this place isn’t on Bai Family territory, so we’ve been in a passive position from the start.
When it comes to such an anomaly, Evil Moon Sect will definitely not back down. If we can reach some kind of cooperation with them in the end, it might be the best outcome.
After all, while my Bai Family might not fear the Linjiang Branch, the entire Evil Moon Sect is still beyond the Bai Family’s reach,” Bai Ying said.
Even though Bai Ying was a Soul Formation stage cultivator and was outwardly proud and fearless, she understood the situation better than anyone else.
Her voice carried a heavy sigh as she spoke.
Under Su Jingzhen’s watchful gaze, every word they said reached his ears.
However, Su Jingzhen chose not to intervene immediately.
He turned back to Xuening.
“I won’t explain much about the strangeness of this place.
Discover it yourselves. Sometimes, experiencing it firsthand is more effective than me explaining it in detail.
You don’t need to do much. Just practice alchemy here normally, and you’ll understand its wonders.”
After a pause, Su Jingzhen added, “For now, the fifteen of you should stay within a fifty-meter radius of this spot. Other areas might be dangerous for you.”
In reality, there was no danger anywhere in this peculiar land. However, Su Jingzhen deliberately said this.
It was a way to maintain an air of mystery. After all, in his opinion, alchemists should behave like alchemists. They should focus on improving their alchemy skills here peacefully. Other adventures weren’t their concern.

A glimmer of anticipation flickered in Xuening’s eyes.
A line of golden characters appeared before Su Jingzhen.
Before personally experiencing it and sensing the magic of this place, it wasn’t enough to trigger Xuening’s consecutive attacks.
“Brother Su, Sister Yuebai, let me try practicing alchemy here first and see what kind of changes might occur.”
Without waiting for Su Jingzhen or the others to respond, Xuening immediately pulled out her alchemy furnace and entered a state of focused alchemy.
Zhao Tianming and the other alchemists behind her didn’t hesitate either. They all took out their own alchemy furnaces.
In fact, after entering the peculiar land and sensing the abundant spiritual energy, they had already believed Su Jingzhen’s words. Now, they couldn’t help but want to experiment.
Seeing these alchemists directly enter their alchemy states, Su Jingzhen’s gaze fell on Shen Yifeng and Luo Yuebai.
“They might need a considerable amount of time to practice alchemy here.
Why don’t we go talk to those from the Bai Family while they’re at it?”
The two nodded.
“Since this place has become your territory, lead the way. Let’s see if those Bai Family members are cooperative. If they’re not, then today, we’ll have to eliminate them here.”
As Shen Yifeng spoke, a palpable killing intent arose within him.
As long as Su Jingzhen could ensure that the Bai Family members couldn’t leave the peculiar land, he was confident he could exterminate them all.
Including Bai Ying who is in the Soul Formation stage, will be killed without mercy!
After all, in his view, this peculiar land was too important.
As long as the news of this place remained secret, their Linjiang Branch could completely push the Bai Family to the opposing side without any issues.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen smiled.
“Rest assured, those from the Bai Family shouldn’t be so unwise.
Ideally, we should cooperate with the Bai Family.
They are in the Holy City, and even if some disciples come here to practice, it will not have any impact on our Linjiang branch.
On the contrary, their younger generation elites coming to Linjiang City would be like lambs to the slaughter.
In this way, we would only gain a powerful ally, which is far more beneficial than eliminating them.”
During Luo Yuebai and Zou Zeyu’s competition, Su Jingzhen was confident he could win alone.
But he wouldn’t always be present.
For any sect, individual strength is useful, but not always immediately.
Ultimately, comprehensive strength development is the most ideal.
Developing any sect requires borrowing certain powers.

As soon as Su Jingzhen finished speaking, a line of golden characters appeared before his eyes.
Luo Yuebai’s expression remained calm, but her heart was filled with immense satisfaction.
As they conversed, they had already entered the area where the Bai Family members were gathered.
When they reached ten meters, Bai Ying’s expression suddenly tightened.
This ten-meter range allowed them to see, and it was also the distance Su Jingzhen had set.
Yes, at this moment, Su Jingzhen could even control the range of spiritual consciousness and visibility within the peculiar land.
Seeing Su Jingzhen and the other two appear before her, Bai Ying was slightly surprised.
She could tell that Su Jingzhen seemed to be in excellent condition.
However, she didn’t dwell on it. Her gaze remained fixed on Shen Yifeng.
In her view, Shen Yifeng was the person who could truly match her and speak to her on an equal footing.
Shen Yifeng didn’t hesitate and directly addressed Bai Ying, “Senior Bai, what do you think of this place?”
Hearing Shen Yifeng’s words, Bai Ying didn’t understand his meaning.
She simply nodded, “Very good. It can be considered a place of revival for the sects in Qingzhou.”
This was her most objective opinion.
At this moment, the two elders were testing each other.
Shen Yifeng smiled again, “Let’s not beat around the bush, Senior Bai.
To be frank, I can control everything within this peculiar land.
Now, the Bai Family has two choices.
One is to be completely destroyed here and become part of the energy within this peculiar land.
The other is to cooperate with my Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch.”
Shen Yifeng didn’t hesitate to take credit for controlling the peculiar land.
This was also a way to protect Su Jingzhen indirectly.
As he spoke to Bai Ying, the Nascent Soul mid-stage aura emanated from his body.
The Killing Sword was also held in his hand.
It was more of a veiled threat than a genuine choice.
