The Great Elder used his Divine Sense to probe into it, instantly filled with joy.
He looked up at Zheng Yi again, his gaze now containing a bit more astonishment: "The Third Elder’s alchemy skill has improved once again. If it improves any further, he might directly become a First-grade Alchemist.
Even within the Celestial Profound Sword Sect, he could serve as an Inner Sect Elder."
"It was merely luck."
Zheng Yi responded humbly as usual.
In truth.
The storage bag handed to the Great Elder did not contain the Seven Illusions Cyan Spirit Pill.
This elixir was meant to be Zheng Yi’s trump card to showcase his worth when negotiating with the Wang Family.
If the Wang Family allowed Zheng Yi’s plans to develop smoothly, then when the Wang Family Ancestor was about to break through to the Crystal Stage, Zheng Yi would naturally present this pill.
But should a conflict arise between the two parties.
Zheng Yi had to remain cautious, as one can never be too careful.
The Great Elder watched Zheng Yi leave, merely placing the storage bag in his bosom, without informing the Ancestor, thinking to himself: "It’s not time yet."
After this incident.
His level of attention towards Zheng Yi increased considerably.
...
Back in the shop, Zheng Yi glanced at the backyard, noticing Wenn Qing was not there.
He couldn’t help but think: "Could she be wandering around the Celestial South Market?"
Wenn Qing’s status now was vastly different from before; she previously could only move within this limited area as a servant.
Now as his wife and the Lady of the Wang Family’s Third Elder, equipped with the Wang Family’s Identity Token, generally, she wouldn’t face any danger in the Celestial South Market.
Yet Zheng Yi remained cautious, called the steward over to inquire.
Upon learning things were as he suspected, Zheng Yi temporarily put his mind at ease.
Little did he know.
At this moment, Wenn Qing was in extreme danger.
On the street next to the Sixteenth Floor, Wenn Qing walked around with two maids by her side.
Previously, when in the Mortal World Quarter at the Dragon Blood Mine,
She never had such freedom; now she felt like a fish leaping into the sea, gradually becoming lively.
Just then, a familiar voice transmission sounded in her mind, Wenn Qing’s expression suddenly tightened, the long-forgotten fear resurging, making her face turn ghastly pale.
"Come to the Drunken Immortal Tower, your master has something to discuss with you."
Qin Liang’s voice rang out once more.
Wenn Qing timidly dared not respond, and seeing this, the two maids by her side hurriedly inquired with concern.
Wenn Qing waved her hand, instructing them to return to the shop first.
The two dared not disobey her order, so they backed off.
Finally.
Leaving Wenn Qing all alone.
"No, I have a husband now."
This thought suddenly flashed through Wenn Qing’s mind, revitalizing her entirely.
Without hesitation, she crushed the Communication Talisman that Zheng Yi had given her.
She spoke pitifully and sweetly: "Husband, someone is trying to bully me."
"Husband, you can’t ignore me, I’m your person, your little wife."
...
In the cultivation secret chamber, everything was quiet and windless, the dim candlelight illuminating the enclosed space.
Suddenly, a voice transmission reached Zheng Yi’s ears.
He raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile playing on his lips, mumbling to himself, "Steward Qin from the Mortal World Quarter is here."
Having said that.
His eyes sparkled, and the next moment, driven by Spiritual Qi, his figure instantly vanished from the chamber.
Zheng Yi, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, silently extended his powerful Divine Sense across the entire Celestial South Market.
Soon.
He located Wenn Qing’s aura, quickly following its trail to arrive near her.
At this moment, the core of the core of the Celestial South Market—the Celestial Star Courtyard—was quietly covered by the powerful Divine Sense of this Golden Core Stage cultivator.
The Celestial Star Hall was a significant cultivation site, surrounded by green bamboo forests, with multiple Mid-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays interconnected.
These numerous Mid-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays, supported by the Mid-grade Spirit Vein beneath the Celestial South Market, could achieve the effect of a Top-grade Spirit Gathering Array in gathering spiritual energy.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the depths of the bamboo forest was almost comparable to the root of the Top-grade Spirit Vein at the Celestial Profound Sword Sect’s sect site.
As Zheng Yi’s Divine Sense invaded this place, with a "buzz," an Ancient Bronze Mirror reflected in mid-air, emitting bright red and white candlelight, producing various phenomena.
Shen Yumo slightly opened her beautiful eyes, her holy long robe falling onto the bamboo leaves below.
She was startled: "Golden Core Realm?
Which esteemed expert is this?
Are they resident in the Celestial South Market or just passing through?"
Shen Yumo dared not let her Divine Sense intrude upon this.
Golden Core Realm experts are extremely rare.
The Celestial Profound Sword Sect behind her currently only had one Supreme Elder at this realm, who was often in secluded cultivation or on travels, rarely seen in the sect.
While she was merely a small Crystal Stage cultivator, having just broken through.
Her master in the Celestial Profound Sword Sect was only at the Late-stage Crystal, with very slim hopes of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm in this lifetime, so she took in two or three disciples as heirs to her legacy.
This sudden presence of a Golden Core Realm aura made Shen Yumo instantly lose her focus on cultivation.
Her figure flashed, climbing to the high place in the bamboo forest, her cold eyes looking down upon the scenery of the Celestial Star Courtyard and the Celestial South Market under the watery moonlight, the impact brought by the Golden Core Realm expert was simply too immense.
...
At this moment!
On the street corner of Sixteenth Floor, Wenn Qing looked at the distant Drunken Immortal Tower, took a deep breath, her pink fist slightly unclenching, using a silk cloth to wipe the sweat off it neatly.
She didn’t want to embarrass her husband.
She looked worriedly, asking Zheng Yi: "Can the husband handle this?
If not, we might have to bring in the Wang Family Ancestor.
He is at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, only thus might we manage to counter Steward Qin of the Mortal World Quarter, that wicked old fellow."
