The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 902: Not Worth Mentioning

Revealing the Sect Master’s token but requesting to see the Second Elder, this seemed rather peculiar to the two gatekeeping disciples.

However, since the Sect Master’s token was involved, Su Jingzhen and Little Ling were unquestionably esteemed guests in their eyes.

After welcoming them in, the disciples wasted no time in using a special array at the gate to relay this information to the personnel under the command of the Second Elder.

After all, matters concerning such influential figures were beyond their concern or authority. A small oddity was the least of their worries.

After the message was sent, the two disciples exchanged puzzled glances.

Since they were stationed here, they had not been fully informed about the first round of events earlier that day, and they had not witnessed Su Jingzhen and Little Ling’s remarkable performance.

Nonetheless, the names “Su Jingzhen” and “Dantai Ling’er” had reached their ears, and they had caught a fleeting glimpse of them from afar.

“May I ask, are you the honorable Lord Su Jingzhen?”

Su Jingzhen cast a surprised glance at them before giving a slight nod.

The two of them were taken aback and became visibly nervous.

“Just now, I was blind and failed to recognize your greatness. I deeply apologize for any offense and beg your forgiveness…”

Their current humility was in stark contrast to their previous arrogance.

However, Su Jingzhen paid them no further mind and waited silently.

Above the floating architecture of the Divine Dan Sect, within a grand and imposing palace, the Second Elder, clad in a black Daoist robe exuding an air of immortality, was meditating when the sudden arrival of a message interrupted him.

“Someone holding the Sect Master’s token? Asking to see me?”

“Oh? Another one – it’s Su Jingzhen, is it? Then it’s fine.”

The second elder, Shi Nian, stroked his beard with a knowing smile.

“The Sect Master could have chosen anyone else’s name, but insisted on using mine. Thankfully, I was cautious; otherwise, I might’ve accidentally exposed her plan.”

Shi Nian was well aware of the situation where Li Lingxi had invoked his name to meet Su Jingzhen.

In truth, if Li Lingxi had not acted first that day, Shi Nian himself had intended to try to recruit Su Jingzhen.

But now that Li Lingxi had already laid the groundwork, Shi Nian had no interest in getting involved, regardless of Su Jingzhen’s current request.

Shi Nian immediately informed Li Lingxi about the situation.

As the second-ranking elder among the top ten elders, he naturally had the authority to contact Li Lingxi directly.

Meanwhile, within her palace, Li Lingxi was still consumed by frustration and regret.

During her recent interaction with Su Jingzhen, his question about whether they had met before had thrown her completely off her rhythm.

In the midst of that distraction, she had forgotten to handle the most important matter –

She had yet to receive the True Dragon Blood from Su Jingzhen!

“Ah, my poor memory. It seems I’ll have to meet him again under the guise of the Second Elder.”

Li Lingxi murmured, her tone tinged with self-deprecation.

“Without the True Dragon’s Blood, refining the Heavenly Dragon Tribulation Pill will indeed be quite a challenge.”

Upon hearing this, Shuang Jiang gave a dismissive scoff.

“A Divine Dan Sect master unable to procure high-grade true dragon’s blood? Who would believe such a story?”

Li Lingxi smiled faintly. “The sect treasury indeed contains many high-grade samples of True Dragon’s Blood, but this time we’re dealing with the Heavenly Dragon Tribulation Body. I can’t afford to be careless.

The blood stored in the treasure chamber, even though it has been preserved by special methods, has aged considerably. What I’m looking for is something much fresher.

I noticed during Su Jingzhen’s refinement of the Heavenly Dragon Pill that the true dragon blood he used was extraordinarily fresh, practically just drawn.

I suspect he’s keeping a pure-blooded fire dragon,”

Her expression turned serious. “When it comes to alchemy, especially matters of such significance, I, Li Lingxi, either don’t act or strive for perfection.

“Enough. I’ll go find him again. While I’m at it, I’ll share some vital information with him – he seems too distracted to continue with the Alchemy Grand Gathering otherwise.”

Just as she finished speaking, a peculiar glint flickered across her features.

A message had arrived from Shi Nian.

“Ha, speak of the devil. This boy is more impatient than I expected – perfect timing.”

Although only a short time had passed, Su Jingzhen was visibly restless.

His gaze remained fixed on the heavenly palace cluster above, his thoughts teetering on the edge of forcing his way in.

Before his frustration could boil over, a streak of light descended rapidly, revealing a figure as it landed.

A young girl clad in simple green robes stood before them, her bright eyes and radiant smile drawing attention instantly.

She possessed an ethereal beauty, and her delicate features harmonized perfectly with her confident demeanor.

“Junior Sister Qing Yi greets you both,” she said with a gentle smile, her voice warm yet formal. “My master has invited you. Please follow me.”

Su Jingzhen and Little Ling nodded in acknowledgement without exchanging pleasantries.

Under Qing Yi’s guidance, they quickly ascended to the uppermost reaches of the floating palaces.

Down below, the two gatekeepers exchanged glances of renewed confusion.

“Didn’t they ask for the Second Elder? Why is Senior Sister Qing Yi here? She’s one of the direct disciples of the Sect Master!”

Soon, the trio arrived at a small floating island. Unlike the grandeur of other structures, this place exuded a serene charm. At its center stood a radiant divine tree with multicolored leaves shimmering under the celestial glow.

Beneath its boughs, Li Lingxi sat cross-legged, her serene demeanor enhanced by the tree’s ethereal light.

As Su Jingzhen and Little Ling approached, her lips curled into a faint smile.

“I was beginning to think you two wouldn’t come looking for me at all,” she said lightly, her tone almost teasing.

Su Jingzhen’s brows furrowed slightly as he studied her. That inexplicable feeling of familiarity returned, stronger than before.

He couldn’t help but feel as though he’d known her from somewhere, though he couldn’t place where or when.

This feeling of familiarity was inexplicable.

However, now was not the time to think about such things.

Su Jingzhen and Little Ling bowed respectfully to Li Lingxi.

Then, without hesitation, Su Jingzhen said directly, “We have come to seek the Elder’s assistance with an urgent matter.

We humbly request that you use the power within your authority to help us locate Qiu Yaoyao’s whereabouts in Dan City.”

He made his request straightforwardly, without any detours or hesitation.

Su Jingzhen was confident that given the kindness Li Lingxi had displayed in the manor that day, she would not refuse this request.

Moreover, with Li Lingxi’s status, Su Jingzhen believed that this task would not be difficult for her.

If even Li Lingxi could not help him, his next step would be to approach Shui Linglong at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Given his current role as a guest elder at the Dan City branch of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, it was unlikely that Shui Linglong would refuse him.

He was also convinced that the vast resources of the Pavilion would prove helpful in this matter.

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s directness, Li Lingxi silently nodded, then smiled and asked, “It seems you’re in a hurry. I’m curious, if you still cannot find Qiu Yaoyao this time, what will you do?”

Su Jingzhen froze for a moment, confused by her question.

Still, he instinctively replied, “If I can’t find her, I’ll keep searching.”

Li Lingxi raised an eyebrow and said, “But there’s less than a day before you’re going to participate in the second round of the Alchemy Grand Meet.

During this short period of time, if someone has truly taken action against her, it might be very challenging to locate her.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Compared to Yaoyao, the Alchemy Grand Gathering is insignificant.”

Li Lingxi momentarily froze at his response, but admiration flickered in her eyes.

Under normal circumstances, with Su Jingzhen’s talent and strength, the Alchemy Grand Meet was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — even a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain great wealth.

In the cultivation world, countless people would kill their fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, wives, or friends in pursuit of such a fortune and to attain the Dao.

It was indeed rare to find someone like Su Jingzhen who valued emotional bonds so deeply.

With that, Li Lingxi lost her desire to tease him any further.

Gently, she pointed her jade-like finger into the void.

The space in front of her distorted like a mirror rippling under pressure.

Moments later, Qiu Yaoyao’s soul appeared in front of her, sleeping peacefully like a baby.
