Chapter 124: Chapter 122: Getting Down to Business
The First Fairy, Su Xiyue, broke through to the Golden Core, and slew a Golden Core Elder of the Hundred Sword Sect.
Such an event, even though the Cyan Mountain Sect didn’t deliberately spread the word, quickly swept across the entire Yunlan Domain.
Any cultivator could sense what an eighteen-year-old Golden Core meant.
The three major Immortal Sects, however, each reacted differently.
Cyan Mountain Sect, needless to say, all disciples were elated, the gloom swept away.
You have to know, just days before, the sect’s number one Alchemy Master had been poached by the Hundred Sword Sect, and everyone was restless and anxious.
Even those elders who heard the news were marveling, shocked to their core, struggling to calm down for a long time.
Sect Leader Su Xihe naturally didn’t let this opportunity slip by. Immediately, she summoned all the Inner Sect Elders and stewards in the sect.
She sat high in the position of Sect Leader, watching the changes in expression on these old-timers’ faces, feeling indescribably pleased!
Finally, she’d managed to release the bottled-up frustration she’d been holding for years.
The Demon Sect, on the other hand, remained silent, as if unconcerned about Su Xiyue’s breakthrough.
Moreover, Leng Ruyu’s injuries were even more severe than expected; the Demon Sect Leader had tried many methods, but failed to dispel the Black Qi clinging to her wounds.
The main issue was, perhaps due to a heavy blow, Leng Ruyu was depressed and still unconscious.
Only the Hundred Sword Sect— it was said that upon hearing the news, the Sect Leader flew into a thunderous rage, even directly locking up Jian Bai and two other elders in the rear mountain for meditation.
No one knew when they’d be released.
Of course, it was just rumor; the real situation, outsiders couldn’t possibly know.
However, none of this had anything to do with Qin Yu in Lin Xian City.
He had been a bit worried, after all, Su Xiyue had just broken through to the Golden Core; but he still underestimated the combat power of the First Fairy.
Upon learning Su Xiyue had returned safely, Qin Yu finally let go of the anxiety he’d been holding.
He just didn’t know—would that Fairy come looking for him again?
Under these circumstances, she should be returning to her Immortal Sect, right?!
"What, thinking about your Fairy Xiyue?"
Yin Qinghe walked over, looking at the melancholy Qin Yu standing by the window, unable to resist teasing him.
The matters outsiders couldn’t figure out were no secret to her; Su Xiyue’s breakthrough, and the grand commotion, surely meant her Root Bone had been elevated.
Dao Bone, eh?!
She was certainly moved, but not envious, because this Fairy Xiyue possessing the Dao Bone—well, the credit naturally belonged to her, this rebellious disciple!
Sooner or later, she would have a Dao Bone herself!
"Fairy can’t compare to Master’s fragrance."
Qin Yu turned, naturally wrapped his beautiful Master’s slender waist, and swiftly pulled her into his arms.
He took a deep breath.
Mm.
Truly fragrant!
This Master really made him feel unable to let go.
And so...
"Stop!... We’re talking business here."
Noticing her rebellious disciple’s mischief, Yin Qinghe rolled her eyes in annoyance.
She’d found her own weakness.
She just couldn’t resist teasing.
"Business? Improving Root Bone, isn’t that business?"
Qin Yu looked earnest, confidence blazing, though he did restrain himself somewhat.
A beauty in his arms, he naturally couldn’t remain composed.
Surprisingly, Yin Qinghe couldn’t refute, but spoke seriously, "You... really never thought of joining the Immortal Sect? After all, that’s the place best suited for you."
Her words were from the heart.
Lin Xian City isn’t absolutely safe—but are other cities any safer?!
Without enough strength, you’re just meat on the chopping block, wherever you go.
Outsiders saw Danxin Herb Hall’s glory in the past, but honestly, there were bitter hardships only known to oneself.
If you have resources, inevitably, you’re targeted!
Whether your enemies kill you outright or fatten you up before slaughter, the outcome’s almost the same, not much difference.
Her asking this proved she’d long been considering Qin Yu’s future.
The Immortal Sect—a minimum of stability!
And with Spirit Veins, abundant Spiritual Qi—more conducive to cultivation.
It’s not that there’s no competition in an Immortal Sect, in fact, it might even be fiercer.
But, if he joined Cyan Mountain Sect, that’d be different; as a Saintess, Fairy Xiyue couldn’t possibly not look after her own man, right?!
Plus, she knew Qin Yu’s situation; later, as Qin Yu’s Root Bone improved, with her covering for him, it’d be less likely to be exposed.
Besides, Qin Yu was extraordinarily talented.
In Yin Qinghe’s eyes, even those top Alchemy Masters in Yunlan Domain couldn’t hold a candle to Qin Yu’s talent in Spiritual Power!
This wasn’t just about speed of advancement.
Qin Yu’s powers of comprehension—only one phrase could describe them... "breathtaking!"
Exactly because he’s so gifted, Yin Qinghe didn’t want him wasted due to their small group.
He needed more resources, better resources, which the Loose Cultivator City simply couldn’t provide!
Only at the Immortal Sect could Qin Yu grow rapidly.
"Join the Immortal Sect?"
Qin Yu didn’t object to entering the Immortal Sect.
For him, it was more benefit than risk, especially if he went to Cyan Mountain Sect.
It’s just that, right now, Lin Qianqian and Lin Shuishui clearly didn’t yet qualify for entry into the Immortal Sect.
He would never abandon his little wife and sister-in-law!
Unless exceptions could be made.
But, did he have the qualifications yet?!
Lower Grade Spirit Bone, High Tier Spiritual Power—absolutely top-notch in Lin Xian City, but in the Immortal Sect’s eyes, probably not enough for a special exception.
"Let’s talk about it in the future," he said calmly.
Main thing is, Qin Yu still didn’t know that Fairy Xiyue’s thoughts.
[Su Xiyue Romantic Point: 10 (Initial Acquaintance)]
Tsk!
Truly lives up to her reputation as an ethereal Fairy—seemingly not moved by emotion at all.
With a Romantic Point like that, what more could he hope for?!
So troubled.
He didn’t know how to unlock that Fairy’s heart.
Su Xiyue was nothing like little wife Lin Qianqian, so easy to please, nor like beautiful Master, so... easy to win over.
Maybe it was just lack of communication!
Yin Qinghe didn’t press him anymore.
Truthfully, she couldn’t bear to part with Qin Yu either.
"Master, let’s get to some real business!"
Qin Yu suggested.
Beautiful Master only blushed for a moment, then melted into his embrace.
Soon enough.
Some proper noises came from the Alchemy Room.
Mm.
Exactly the sound from slapping the Alchemy Furnace while refining medicinal liquids.
After all, in the Alchemy Room, what else could they be doing?!
Another fulfilling day.
Soon, midnight arrived.
Qin Yu was already living in the main house; Master, Lin Qianqian, and Zhao Mengli were all deeply asleep.
As usual, he habitually glanced at the courtyard, only to unexpectedly find a Fairy in white, transcendently aloof, quietly standing there.
His previously calm mood surged instantly.
The Fairy came after all!
Without hesitation, he threw on a robe and pushed open the door.
