The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

As the scent of medicinal herbs grew stronger within the Xuening courtyard, numerous Golden Core cultivators from the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang branch began to converge.

They had all received Luo Yuebai’s urgent message via the spirit insects.

If the Alchemist Association were to engage in a violent confrontation with them later, the Evil Moon Sect would not back down.

However, Vice President Ouyang and his companions paid no heed to the arrival of these Golden Core demons.

Their gazes remained fixed on the innermost room within the Xuening courtyard.

Soon, a colorful spectacle appeared above the roof of the deepest room in the courtyard.

It was as if petals were falling from the sky.

Immediately, a rich aroma of medicinal herbs spread outwards in ripples.

“The omen has appeared, Miss Xuening has broken through!

“Judging by the omen accompanying Miss Xuening’s breakthrough, the pill she used to achieve it is probably not ordinary either.

Perhaps it’s the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, which she has refined on her own.”

“A fourth-rank alchemist at such a young age, she truly lives up to her lineage as a descendant of the Dantai clan!”

“…”

Upon witnessing this spectacle emanating from the small courtyard, the faces of the Alchemist Association members changed drastically.

They were filled with a mixture of shock and delight.

Alchemists ranked one to three did not usually exhibit significant changes.

However, reaching the fourth rank made one a true master alchemist in the Qingzhou region.

In the world of alchemy, the fourth rank was a watershed moment.

Upon successful breakthrough, various omens would appear depending on the alchemist’s specific level of skill.

This was somewhat similar to the phenomena that occurred when cultivators broke through to higher realms.

As the Alchemist Association members discussed amongst themselves, the atmosphere grew heavy for everyone present, including Luo Yuebai and her companions.

Since Xuening had broken through, she would inevitably emerge.

Luo Yuebai sent out another swarm of spirit insects carrying her urgent message.

She feared that Vice President Ouyang and his group might resort to underhanded tactics and forcibly take Xuening away.

Upon receiving Luo Yuebai’s second message via the spirit insects, Shen Yifeng, who was on the rooftop, smiled and did not hesitate. He immediately headed towards Xuening’s courtyard.

With him present, at least before Xuening made her own choice, he would prevent the Alchemist Association from forcibly taking her away.

“Vice President Ouyang, it’s been a while,”

Shen Yifeng’s arrival immediately drew his gaze to the portly Vice President Ouyang.

When the voice came, Vice President Ouyang subconsciously looked towards Shen Yifeng.

His expression flickered with surprise before hardening into a solemn look upon recognizing Shen Yifeng’s features.

“Blood Hand Asura, Shen Yifeng!

I didn’t expect the one guarding the Linjiang branch to be you!”

As Vice President Ouyang finished speaking, the two Nascent Soul elders beside him, who had remained silent throughout, furrowed their brows in unison.

They clearly harbored a deep apprehension towards Shen Yifeng.

Shen Yifeng, however, merely chuckled. “My Evil Moon Sect has finally established a branch here, and we wouldn’t want it to be wiped out overnight, would we?

Naturally, an old man like myself has to keep a watchful eye.

It’s just my unfortunate nature to be so hardworking.”

After a moment of reflection, Shen Yifeng turned his gaze towards the Xuening courtyard, where the colorful omen still lingered.

“This little girl has actually broken through to the fourth rank so quickly.

What’s going on? Is the Alchemist Association tempted this time and wants to snatch someone from me?”

His words were dripped with playful mockery.

Although Vice President Ouyang’s cultivation had long been publicized, reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, and his combat prowess was rumored to be formidable, Shen Yifeng seemed unconcerned.

Hearing Shen Yifeng’s nonchalant remark, Vice President Ouyang’s brow furrowed even deeper. “Shen Yifeng, some things are best left to those who understand them.

I won’t comment on the nature of your Evil Moon Sect.

The Alchemist Association has always treated all cultivators equally.

But for your Evil Moon Sect to try and cultivate alchemists is a joke.”

“Since you, Shen Yifeng, brought Miss Xuening and the others back from Yunmeng City, you must be aware of her true identity.

If you want to teach Miss Xuening martial arts or a few spells, I, Ouyang Mingyue, wouldn’t have a single complaint.

But when it comes to alchemy, your Evil Moon Sect should refrain from misleading young talents.

Otherwise, when Dantai Mingjing returns, he might even hold your Evil Moon Sect accountable.”

Vice President Ouyang’s tone, though laced with disdain, carried a sense of righteous indignation.

Seeing Ouyang Mingyue’s demeanor, Bai Xiu and Ye Zhiqiu, standing beside him, looked at each other with surprise.

Before coming to Linjiang City, they had visited the main sect of the Evil Moon Sect.

And facing the numerous elders within the Elder Council, Vice President Ouyang had been quite imposing.

So why was he appearing so weak facing Shen Yifeng alone?

Ye Zhiqiu and the others had naturally heard of Shen Yifeng’s reputation, but facing the real person, they didn’t feel much impact.

As Vice President Ouyang spoke, Shen Yifeng shook his head and waved his hand.

“There’s no need for Vice President Ouyang to say so much.

Since you’ve already made arrangements, let’s leave it to Miss Xuening.

If she’s willing to go with you, I, Shen Yifeng, won’t say anything.

But if she chooses to stay with my Evil Moon Sect, then the Alchemist Association won’t be able to take her away today.

This is what I, Shen Yifeng, said, even if your elusive Guild Master comes here, it won’t change.”

Shen Yifeng’s tone was calm, yet it radiated an undeniable strength.

“You…”

Vice President Ouyang pointed angrily at Shen Yifeng, but before he could speak further, Shen Yifeng smiled again.

“The Alchemist Association is the number one alchemy force in Qingzhou.

Could it be that Vice President Ouyang is worried about losing to my Evil Moon Sect in this aspect?

If Miss Xuening truly chooses my Evil Moon Sect, then Vice President Ouyang shouldn’t denounce or oppose us.

Instead, you should reflect on yourselves.”

His words effectively silenced Vice President Ouyang, as there was no way to refute them.

At this moment, Shen Yifeng knew that the key figure in this matter wasn’t Xuening, but his apprentice, Su Jingzhen!

As long as Su Jingzhen didn’t leave their Evil Moon Sect, Xuening might not choose another force.

As for Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s development in alchemy, Shen Yifeng didn’t worry about it.

In his view, true strength wasn’t about seeking good environments and adapting to them, but about creating or changing the environment themselves!

As the Alchemist Association members stood there, their hearts suddenly felt a surge of tension.

Amidst the mixed emotions, the omen above Xuening’s courtyard slowly dissipated.

Xuening, clad in a blue dress, walked out of the courtyard with a gentle and serene demeanor.

Her eyes still held a trace of joy.

After breaking through to the fourth rank, the first thing she wanted to do was share her excitement with Su Jingzhen.

However, upon reaching the door, she saw a large group of people staring straight at her, leaving her momentarily stunned.
