Chapter 375: Chapter 374: Mr. Jiang Zuo, Do You Still Remember You Have a Wife?
Afterward, Jiang Zuo contacted Daoist Crazy Python.
The call connected quickly.
Jiang Zuo saw that the commission was from four days ago. He wasn’t sure if Daoist Crazy Python had already gone.
"Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, you’re finally free?" Daoist Crazy Python said happily from the other end.
Jiang Zuo asked, "Have you guys gone already?"
Daoist Crazy Python laughed. "You jest, Fellow Daoist. How could we dare to go in without you?
We were prepared to wait a month for you."
Jiang Zuo didn’t pay much mind to that. As long as they hadn’t gone in, it was fine.
"So, when are you planning to go? And where is it?" Jiang Zuo asked.
"The location isn’t far, but I hear this qualification battlefield is quite large. It’s very likely we won’t be the only group going in," Daoist Crazy Python said.
Jiang Zuo thought for a moment, then asked, "I heard that the qualification battlefields have Cultivation restrictions. Is that true?"
"It’s true," Daoist Crazy Python said. "It’s just that different qualification battlefields have different restrictions. The place you went to last time actually had a limit close to Tier Three.
In other words, even 3.1 would have been pushing it.
But this time, the restriction is much looser—it should be around 3.7.
One thing is for certain: it definitely won’t exceed Tier Four."
"Is there a pattern?" Jiang Zuo asked.
"Based on current intel, there’s no specific pattern. It’s not related to the size," Daoist Crazy Python said, holding nothing back.
Jiang Zuo frowned. ’It seems the Ancient Battlefield has truly become fragile.’
The only thing Jiang Zuo could think of was that the qualification battlefield couldn’t withstand too much power.
If the limit was exceeded, it would likely cause the extension of the Ancient Battlefield to collapse directly.
Still, this was advantageous for him.
Below Tier Four, he should have a chance against anyone.
Besides, these guys would never be able to catch him.
Then Jiang Zuo asked, "What about the time?"
"The sooner the better, of course. We just don’t know when you’ll be free, Fellow Daoist. If you’re busy these next few days, we don’t mind waiting a bit longer," Daoist Crazy Python said.
Jiang Zuo hesitated for a moment. He felt it was best to handle this quickly; if he delayed, Su Qi might return. "Let’s leave this afternoon."
Crazy Python let out a sigh of relief, then laughed. "No problem. We’ll wait for you at Tianhe Group."
If Jiang Zuo had said they needed to wait a few days, they really couldn’t have said anything.
After all, one had to follow the code of the Dao. You can’t force a melon to be sweet if it’s not ripe.
Besides, Daoist Crazy Python had recently heard the legends about Po Xiao—how he defeated a Tier Two as a Tier One, and his astonishing performance in the Tier Two assessment.
Even he, a Tier Three, no longer had absolute confidence against him.
He firmly believed that in this world, there existed monstrous geniuses who were a cut above mere prodigies.
And Po Xiao was very likely one of them. After all, he was still Tier One when they last met, and now, not even a month later, he was Tier Two.
That was not normal, no matter how you looked at it.
After that, Jiang Zuo hung up the phone.
He needed to go back and prepare.
There wasn’t much he needed to prepare.
The Cold Moon Unsealing and refining the Dream Crystal Stone. That was basically it.
Fortunately, neither would take too long.
And since Su Qi wasn’t around, Jiang Zuo felt it was time to attempt a breakthrough to the Innate Three Qi.
The main reason was that Su Qi was leveling up too fast; he still hadn’t managed to catch up to her.
With the Innate Three Qi, he would catch up much faster.
’I can’t beat Su Qi anyway, so why not choose to have a higher Realm than her?’
But just as he hung up, his phone rang. He glanced at it—it was Su Qi.
Jiang Zuo felt a flash of worry. If Su Qi said she was coming back tonight, things would get awkward.
Jiang Zuo shut down his computer, left the Marketing Department Two, and then answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Su Qi asked, "What took you so long to answer?"
"I was at work. Just stepped out," Jiang Zuo said.
Su Qi didn’t dwell on it. Instead, she said, "You arrived last night, right? Why didn’t you call me? I waited all night."
Jiang Zuo: "..."
’I completely forgot about that.’
Su Qi’s voice suddenly turned playful. "Did Mr. Jiang forget completely? Did you forget about your wife while you were at it?
Do you think you don’t have a wife?"
"No." ’Don’t say anything, just deny it first.’
"Then what was it?" Su Qi asked.
"I was afraid you were already asleep last night. And even if you weren’t, you might have been in seclusion. It wasn’t a good time to disturb you," Jiang Zuo replied, racking his brain.
"You could have just sent a message. That wouldn’t have been a disturbance," Su Qi said.
"That’s because..."
"Because what? Stop making things up. Just admit it, Mr. Jiang Zuo. You forgot all about me."
Jiang Zuo: "...I don’t admit it."
Su Qi snorted. "Hmph. Then come up with a decent excuse, or I’m going to get mad."
Jiang Zuo felt a headache coming on. ’This habit carried over from my past life. It’s so hard to change.’
He had just subconsciously forgotten to report that he was safe.
Jiang Zuo really didn’t know what kind of excuse to make up.
So he remained silent.
Su Qi said, "Hurry up and give me a reason. My senior sister says I’m a fool; I might just believe you."
After struggling for a long time, Jiang Zuo could only say, "I forgot."
"Why did you forget? Is your wife just an afterthought now?" Su Qi demanded.
"I figured, since I’m an adult now, I don’t need to report back to my family."
Su Qi immediately retorted, "Being an adult is exactly why you should be more considerate and let people know you’re safe! Besides, I’m not your parent, so what do you mean, ’report back to my family’?"
Jiang Zuo immediately shot back, "Exactly. You’re not my parent, so I didn’t report to you."
Su Qi: "...I really want to kill you."
Jiang Zuo chuckled. "I’ll be more careful next time. I’ll try my best to remember to tell you."
"It’s no use. You’re so dead when I get back.
Remember to eat well. I have to get back to work.
Also, get plenty of sleep these next few days. You won’t get the chance once I’m back." After throwing out that threat, Su Qi hung up.
Jiang Zuo was speechless.
’So I forgot to tell her, big deal. We’re both Cultivators. Don’t we have a pretty good idea if the other is okay or not?’
Jiang Zuo was still carrying Su Qi’s Protective Treasure. If something had happened to him, Su Qi would have been able to sense it.
Her auntie was the one who set it up in the first place.
Jiang Zuo shook his head and started on his way home.
He had originally planned to refine the Dream Crystal Stone at night, but it didn’t make much difference whether he did it sooner or later.
On the way back, Jiang Zuo thought about buying some apples, but then he remembered he still had a lot of the fruit he’d bought from Liuyue Xue, so he decided against it.
When he got home, Jiang Zuo tossed a few apples into the pond, startling the pets.
All the pets were in the pond now, except for Duan Qiao, who was sitting on the edge, fishing.
After going inside, Jiang Zuo took out the Dream Crystal Stone. This was the first thing he needed to refine.
The Dream Crystal Stone appeared in Jiang Zuo’s hand. Immediately, the Innate Two Qi flowed into it, followed by Spiritual Qi, which he used to guide the stone.
After being tempered, the Dream Crystal Stone was almost empty, devoid of any aura.
The first step for Jiang Zuo was to imbue the Dream Crystal Stone with his blood qi. Only then could the stone merge with his body.
The next step would be to open the Dream Crystal Stone’s internal space.
With the help of the Innate Two Qi, the Dream Crystal Stone was now ready to be merged with Jiang Zuo’s body.
