The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Tianning City, Spiritual Medicine Sect!

The place was still bustling with people coming and going.

There were cultivators seeking medicine, and merchants discussing cooperation.

Every corner of the Spiritual Medicine Sect was filled with prosperity.

In the cultivation world, almost every major force that focused on alchemy had a similar scene.

The status of alchemists was evident.

At this time, in a luxurious hall within the Spiritual Medicine Sect, two people sat facing each other.

One of them sat in an oversized chair, looking a bit cramped.

It was none other than the fatty, the Pavilion Master of Tianning City’s Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

The other person wore a coarse linen robe, looking quite benevolent, and was none other than Zhao Tianming, the current Sect Master of the Spiritual Medicine Sect.

“Fatty, what brings you to my Spiritual Medicine Sect today? If it’s about the medicinal pills we discussed earlier, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help,” Zhao Tianming said with a hint of sarcasm.

As he spoke, Zhao Tianming’s expression was still kind, but his eyes revealed a hint of cunning.

Upon hearing Zhao Tianming’s words, the fatty’s mouth curled up into a smile.

“Haha, Sect Master Zhao is still as cautious as ever. But don’t worry, I won’t force the issue. After all, it’s not something that can be forced.”

The fatty’s words put Zhao Tianming’s mind at ease.

Before he could ask, the fatty continued, “I came to see Sect Master Zhao about another matter. Have you heard about the Alchemist Conference to be held in Yunmeng City?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianming’s expression turned vigilant again.

“Fatty, I must reiterate that my Spiritual Medicine Sect is not interested in such matters. If you’re here to lobby on behalf of some Feng family disciple, then you can leave now. I won’t entertain you.”

The two were clearly familiar with each other, and their conversation lacked the usual courtesy.

However, upon hearing Zhao Tianming’s words, the fatty’s face suddenly cracked into a wide smile.

“Haha, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear. I hope you can keep your promise this time. Hearing you say that makes my trip worthwhile. Farewell.”

As he spoke, the fatty stood up from the oversized chair, waved goodbye to Zhao Tianming, and left without hesitation.

This sudden departure left Zhao Tianming stunned in the grand hall.

“What does this guy mean? Could it be that the Feng family has actually sent a direct disciple to my Tianning City?”

Zhao Tianming muttered to himself, his mind growing more suspicious.

In recent days, with the news of the Alchemist Conference spreading, many Feng family disciples had visited the Spiritual Medicine Sect, only to be rejected.

And yet, the fatty hadn’t made a point to come and remind him.

“Could it be that the Feng family disciple who came to Tianning City this time is not ordinary?”

As he pondered, a Spiritual Medicine Sect disciple in a moon-white robe approached.

“Reporting to the Sect Master, I have an urgent matter to report.”

Seeing the disciple, Zhao Tianming raised an eyebrow: “What is it?”

“The Feng family’s direct disciple, Feng Qingya, arrived in Tianning City about an hour ago.”

As soon as the disciple finished speaking, Zhao Tianming’s eyebrows relaxed, and the doubts in his mind were dispelled.

“Ah, I see! No wonder the fatty came to remind me. Since she’s here, it makes sense. Although her father had some connections with my Spiritual Medicine Sect, he’s no longer around… It’s not worth offending several parties for past grievances.”

Zhao Tianming muttered to himself, then turned to the disciple: “I understand. Go and tell them that I’m not available if Miss Feng comes to visit. And remind the other elders to go and pay their respects; they should know what to do.”

“I will obey the Sect Master’s orders!”

…

Night had fallen.

In the dilapidated streets, in the broken courtyard of Dantai Mingjing, an ordinary wooden house held Su Jingzhen’s Black Mountain furnace, where a fierce fire was burning.

In the flames, a medicinal material was being repeatedly refined and purified.

Before long, Su Jingzhen controlled the flames to remove all impurities, and a pure medicinal fragrance began to emanate.

As Su Jingzhen’s hands moved with ease, the various medicinal materials in the furnace began to take shape, slowly condensing into a liquid state.

A fragrance of alchemy wafted through the entire room, but due to the mysterious restrictive array surrounding the wooden house, the scent didn’t spread further.

In the next instant, Su Jingzhen gently tapped the Black Mountain furnace.

The dark purple Breaking Through Adversity Pill flew out of the furnace.

This pill was crafted using materials provided by Dantai Mingjing, solely to test Su Jingzhen’s alchemy skills.

From the start of the operation to the completion of the pill, Dantai Mingjing and Xuening watched with bated breath.

At this time, the two looked at each other with moving expressions.

“Friend Su, may I take a look at this Breaking Through Adversity Pill of yours?”

The flames in the Black Mountain went out, and Dantai Mingjing’s face had returned to calm.

Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate, respectfully presenting the pill to Dantai Mingjing.

“This Breaking Through Adversity Pill is comparable to a top-grade three-star medicinal pill! This is an exceptional piece among Breaking Through Adversity Pills.”

“Friend Su, you only used a single batch of materials and crafted it with ease. Perhaps this is a natural talent. The younger generation surpasses the older one, and I must admire it.”

As Dantai Mingjing spoke, his expression was extremely serious, filled with absolute sincerity.

As soon as Dantai Mingjing finished speaking, a line of golden text appeared before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

Dantai Mingjing’s praise clearly shocked Feng Qingya, who knew that Dantai Mingjing was a renowned alchemist in Qingzhou, and wouldn’t easily praise someone.

Since he said so, it proved that he highly valued Su Jingzhen’s alchemy talent.

It also proved that she might have underestimated Su Jingzhen earlier.

Her heart grew even more excited, thinking that she had stumbled upon a treasure.

As they spoke, Dantai Mingjing returned the Breaking Through Adversity Pill to Su Jingzhen.

Although the materials were provided by him, the pill was crafted by Su Jingzhen.

According to the rules of the alchemy world, he had no reason to claim ownership.

Su Jingzhen, however, waved his hand: “Perhaps this pill isn’t worth much, but it’s a token of my daring to craft it in front of you, senior. Please keep it as a memento.”
