The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 125: Enhancing Spiritual Roots

Gift?

Su Jingzhe’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this key word in Luo Yuebai’s words.

Seeing the smile on Luo Yuebai’s face, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

But he still smiled and said, “Since I promised Friend Luo, I will definitely attend. You were even kind enough to bring a golden invitation, how courteous of you.”

Luo Yuebai responded with a smile, “For someone important, naturally a golden invitation is necessary. I won’t disturb your rest any longer.”

It was clear that Su Jingzhen had just come down from Clear Wind Mountain.

After the morning’s experience, Luo Yuebai was wary of staying too long, fearing Su Jingzhen might pull out another mysterious whip.

As Luo Yuebai left, Su Jingzhen looked at the golden invitation in his hand, furrowing his brow again.

“This Friend Luo, will he put me on the spot again tomorrow?”

Muttering to himself, he felt somewhat helpless.

Regarding the Evil Moon Sect’s celebration tomorrow, he just wanted to be a silent participant.

He didn’t want to be in the spotlight again.

The last time, when Huayang Branch was destroyed and he was forced into the public eye, it was not by choice.

Rubbing his stomach, Su Jingzhen didn’t return to his room but sneaked into the kitchen.

His stomach had been growling ever since he was on Clear Wind Mountain.

He found a rack and skewered a leg of the Black Wind Leopard.

A small fireball spell ignited the fire.

Soon, the leopard leg was sizzling and dripping with oil.

The tantalizing aroma naturally spread out again.

At least the six maidservants in the same courtyard as him could smell it.

However, these six were not feeling very well at the moment.

In the morning, Su Jingzhen had warned them not to overeat, but they couldn’t resist.

Even though the Black Wind Leopard was only a first-level demonic beast, its flesh contained abundant blood energy.

Of the six maidservants, only Yan Xia had no spiritual roots and was not a cultivator; the other five had cultivation levels not exceeding the third stage of Qi Refining.

Eating too much was naturally hard to digest.

At this moment, the five maidservants were each meditating in their rooms, their faces flushed and bodies drenched in sweat as if in a sauna.

Yan Xia, on the other hand, was continuously practicing her mundane martial arts in her courtyard, trying to digest the blood energy. Despite smelling the aroma again, she dared not get any closer.

Half an hour later, Su Jingzhen, satisfied and full, patted his belly and returned to his room. He didn’t plan on practicing “Python Scales Power” to fully digest the meal. Instead, he indulged in the rare pleasure of eating and then sleeping.

The next morning.

Su Jingzhen woke up early.

Today, with the addition of his daily fixed points, his remaining points would surpass 200, allowing him to enhance the quality of his spiritual roots.

Golden characters floated before Su Jingzhen’s eyes once again.

【Days until host’s Dantian shatters: 489 days!】

【Daily fixed points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 2, Luo Yuebai: 1】

【Remaining available points: 216】

“Without Shuang Jiang, collecting 200 points is indeed slower,” he remarked, feeling a bit smug despite the reality.

【Metal spiritual root (ordinary): 23/100】

【Wood spiritual root (mysterious): 0/200】

【Water spiritual root (ordinary): 25/100】

【Fire spiritual root (ordinary): 89/100】

【Earth spiritual root (ordinary): 32/100】

Looking at his spiritual root attributes once more, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and added the points to his wood spiritual root.

His main skill was alchemy, and his current level of Body Cultivation provided sufficient combat strength.

【Wood spiritual root (earth): 0/1000】

【Remaining available points: 16】

The attribute of his wood spiritual root instantly changed.

After adding the 200 points, it indeed broke through from mysterious to earth.

But the next level required a staggering 1000 points!

This was something Su Jingzhen hadn’t expected.

“Did it really increase fivefold? It seems the gap between earth and heavenly is quite significant.”

After the initial surprise, Su Jingzhen became even more excited.

If he could one day save up 1000 points to break through to heavenly wood spiritual root, how much stronger would his alchemical abilities become?

He was very much looking forward to it.

“However, with my Earth-grade wood spiritual roots, the pill formation rate of the Breaking Through Adversity Pill should improve even more,” Su Jingzhen couldn’t resist the urge to try his hand at alchemy.

Unfortunately, he had run out of the necessary medicinal herbs.

After briefly composing himself, Su Jingzhen stepped out of his room. Once he had tidied his appearance, he headed towards the Evil Moon Sect’s plaza.

Having promised Luo Yuebai, he was determined to attend the celebration, regardless of what might happen.

Before he could leave his courtyard, he noticed Yan Xia standing at the gate, seemingly waiting for him.

Seeing Su Jingzhen, Yan Xia’s expression remained complex, but she finally spoke, “Master Su, may I… may I accompany you to observe the Evil Moon Sect’s celebration today?”

Su Jingzhen was slightly surprised by Yan Xia’s request but nodded nonetheless.

“If you wish to go, then go ahead. You belong to my courtyard, and no one in the Evil Moon Sect will stop you.”

With that, he nodded again at Yan Xia and walked away. He certainly didn’t want to bring Yan Xia along, lest it cause misunderstandings.

He already felt he had done enough for her. If she had a special constitution, it was her fortune. Even if she didn’t, staying in his courtyard and working there would ensure her safety as long as the Evil Moon Sect stood.

Seeing Su Jingzhen leave, Yan Xia’s expression grew more complex, and she sighed inwardly but still headed towards the plaza. She wanted to see if there was a chance her parents would be present today.

Su Jingzhen wandered around the Evil Moon Sect for a bit before slowly making his way to the plaza.

Yesterday, he had seen many Evil Moon Sect disciples busily preparing the area. Now, the plaza was filled with thousands of seats. Many graceful female cultivators moved about, placing spiritual fruits and wines on the tables.

Towards the back, some people were already seated. Su Jingzhen found a spot in a corner and sat down, keeping a low profile.

“Are there really this many cultivators in Linjiang City?” he wondered.

He knew that many of Linjiang City’s original cultivators had left, leaving only those at the lowest levels, much like he used to be. Such bottom-tier cultivators might watch from the edges but certainly wouldn’t qualify for a seat at this event.

As he pondered this, he suddenly felt several gazes directed at him. Startled, he looked in the direction of the gazes and saw a charming figure walking towards him.
