My Wife Might Be a Saintess-Chapter 45 - 44: Do You Take Disciples? A Female Disciple.

Chapter 45: Chapter 44: Do You Take Disciples? A Female Disciple.

Now Su Qi was curious too. She asked, "What could it be?"

Jingyue put her phone away, her expression turning serious. "There’s an ancient text in the Holy Land that records a single leaf. This leaf is nigh impossible to find in this world. I can’t tell you what it’s used for, but if someone were to obtain it, it would be a stroke of immense, heaven-sent fortune."

"Then what is it, exactly?"

"The Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit. Legend has it that the master of the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion grew it for the person he loved."

"Then what about the master of the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion and his beloved?"

Jingyue looked at Su Qi with a smile. "I’m not telling you."

"Senior Sister...."

"Hey, it’s a secret of the Holy Land. You can’t know unless you become the Saintess."

Now that "Holy Land secret" had been invoked, Su Qi could only drop it. She then asked, "So, where are we going now?"

"We’re going to examine that vine. I need to confirm whether or not it’s the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit."

"Aren’t we going to study the array anymore?"

Jingyue turned to leave. "The legacy has been broken. There’s nothing for us to gain here. I’ve already taken note of the clues, so there’s no point in studying it further."

Su Qi glanced at the damaged array and said nonchalantly, "There are many separate incisions. Their Cultivation probably isn’t high, but their Magical Treasure is exceptionally sharp and carries a unique, cold aura. I have a feeling this person is quite dangerous."

By now, Jingyue had reached the mouth of the cave. "Whether he’s dangerous or not is irrelevant. It’s not like you’d think it’s your husband, and you aren’t interested in him anyway."

"Senior Sister, staying alive is important. It’s best to stay away from certain people."

"I know, I know. You can’t bear to leave your husband, I get it. But as for me, your Senior Sister, I’m not that easy to kill."

Jiang Zuo was currently heading for the cliffs. There was a passage there leading to the outside, one he had discovered on a previous trip back to the exit of the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion, when he had come to reminisce.

But just as he got halfway there, he saw two figures in the distance heading in his direction.

Holding his spare coin, Jiang Zuo ducked to the side to hide.

Only after the two of them had passed him and completely vanished into the distance did Jiang Zuo emerge and continue toward the cliffs.

’That really was dangerous.’

’Of the two people just now, he didn’t get a good look at one of them, but the other was definitely Su Qi.’

’If I hadn’t remembered that Su Qi was here, and if I hadn’t been holding the coin, we definitely would have run into each other. Then I would’ve had no idea how to explain myself.’

After that, Jiang Zuo arrived once more at the cave beneath the cliffs.

Jiang Zuo frowned the moment he entered. He could smell a faint, pleasant fragrance in the cave.

Then he remembered that Su Qi had just passed by this area.

Jiang Zuo was a bit surprised. ’How did they find this place?’

’It’s not that well-hidden, but its location is rather out of the way. It’s not impossible to find, but they shouldn’t have found it so quickly.’

’Then again, lucky people do exist.’ Jiang Zuo decided not to overthink it.

’Besides, it doesn’t matter whether they came or not. I’ve already destroyed this place.’

Afterward, Jiang Zuo walked over to the inner stone wall. It was uneven, looking rough and ordinary. Paying it no mind, he lightly touched his hand to the wall’s surface.

His Innate Two Qi immediately surged into it, activating an extremely well-hidden array.

Jiang Zuo looked at the Three-tailed Fox. "Stay by my side. Don’t move an inch."

The Three-tailed Fox didn’t dare to disobey. It was once again reminded of the terror of being dominated by a human.

’Aside from its master, all humans were indeed terrifying, cold-blooded creatures.’

A flash of light followed, and Jiang Zuo and the Three-tailed Fox vanished on the spot.

When Jiang Zuo reappeared, he was already in the forest park. He wasn’t right by the lake, but he wasn’t far from it either.

Jiang Zuo scanned his surroundings. Fortunately, there was no one nearby.

Jiang Zuo glanced at the Three-tailed Fox. As for how it had gotten into the cave mansion in the first place, he didn’t ask. It had nothing to do with him. At the very least, he had completed his commission.

"Let’s go. I’m taking you back to your master."

******

"Po Xiao, I’ll kill you!"

An enormous roar of fury erupted from Gu Jiansheng’s courtyard. Standing outside, Jiang Zuo nonchalantly cleaned out his ear. He had just tossed the Three-tailed Fox straight in.

Having beaten the Three-tailed Fox half to death, he naturally expected Gu Jiansheng to have an over-the-top reaction.

So just tossing it in was good enough. Besides, he’d already gotten the Moon Tear Bead.

Afterward, Jiang Zuo made a point to check the Tianhe App. As expected, there was another new review:

Anonymous: ★☆☆☆☆

Po Xiao, you better remember this. The day will come when you regret this. From this day forward, we are mortal enemies.

Jiang Zuo just scoffed at this. ’I complete his commission for him, and this is how he threatens me? People’s hearts are truly treacherous, always repaying kindness with malice.’

Another 240,000 was added to Jiang Zuo’s account, but it wasn’t enough money to help him improve much.

Right now, what Jiang Zuo was more concerned about were the spirit medicines he was carrying.

The Moon Lotus Flower was one thing, but he had no idea where to plant the Ice Crystal Wood Lotus.

He could easily explain away planting the Moon Lotus Flower and Profound Iron Wood at home. But the Ice Crystal Wood Lotus was another matter entirely—it couldn’t even be touched. If Su Qi saw it, his cover would be blown for sure.

With no other choice, Jiang Zuo could only ask the people in his group chat.

But as soon as he opened the group chat, Jiang Zuo saw everyone discussing where to find treasures.

For instance, just now, Chen Yi had posted a photo of a peculiar-looking flower.

Chen Yi: "This flower has a hint of Spiritual Qi. Could it be some kind of rare Spirit Medicine?"

Liuyue Xue sent a shrugging emoji: "No idea. Never seen it before."

Chen Yi: "Should I pick it and try to sell it then?"

Jiang Zuo replied: "It’s a weed. Don’t bother picking it."

The moment Jiang Zuo spoke up, Liuyue Xue immediately tagged him. "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, I found a plant here that I’m not sure about. I’d like you to take a look."

Liuyue Xue then sent a picture. It was indeed a type of grass, one that looked a lot like a foxtail.

Jiang Zuo then typed on his phone.

Po Xiao: "Thousand-Layer Incense. You can light it and let it burn. It has a calming effect on the spirit. Lighting one while you’re in Cultivation will double your results with half the effort."

Fairy Mo Yan also tagged Po Xiao: "Expert, take a look at mine."

She also sent a photo.

The moment he saw the photo, Jiang Zuo froze for a second before replying, "A Moon Lotus Flower. It has the ability to absorb Moonlight. The Moonlight is effective against Nightmares."

Fairy Mo Yan sent a laughing emoji: "Does that mean I hit the jackpot?"

Jiang Zuo already had a Moon Lotus Flower, so he had no intention of asking for hers. He then proceeded to answer many other people’s questions. He answered everything that was asked; there seemed to be nothing he didn’t know.

Finally, Chi Xue Child asked, "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, are you accepting disciples? A female one."

Po Xiao: "Not interested." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"How about taking a daughter, then? A goddaughter," Chi Xue Child asked again.

Jiang Zuo’s face darkened. ’What is this person trying to imply?’

Jiang Zuo then asked, "I have an Ice Crystal Wood Lotus, but my home isn’t a suitable place to grow it. Does anyone have a place where I can keep it temporarily?"

At this, Liuyue Xue sent a shocked emoji: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, you have an Ice Crystal Wood Lotus? But from what I know, the Ice Crystal Wood Lotus is nearly impossible to touch. With your Cultivation, you shouldn’t have been able to get one."

Po Xiao: "Did you not know that the very soil the Ice Crystal Wood Lotus grows in is its natural counter? You just have to bury it in the soil to take it with you."

Liuyue Xue was utterly shocked.

’She really hadn’t known. What’s more, she had encountered an Ice Crystal Wood Lotus once before but had no idea how to take it with her. In the end, she could only give up.’
