The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

The fire that engulfed Mingyan Mansion raged for nearly a whole day before finally showing signs of dying down.

Even though Mingyan Mansion housed many rare and exotic flowers and plants, Feng Qingya didn’t care in the slightest.

Everything inside was already a thing of the past.

Only by burning it all to ashes could she truly achieve a fresh start in her heart.

The moment the fire erupted, it caught the attention of everyone in Yunmeng City.

“As expected of Miss Feng, once she gains power, she’s truly ruthless.

Such a magnificent mansion, it must have contained countless treasures. I seem to remember that they set it on fire without going inside. What a pity, what a shame.”

“If only we knew Miss Feng was going to burn it all down, we should have snuck in last night and taken those good things out. Since it’s going to be burned anyway, those things shouldn’t be wasted.”

“Yeah, we missed out,” another chimed in.

Even though everything inside Mingyan Mansion had nothing to do with these onlookers, watching the flames consume everything still made them feel a strange pang of sympathy.

Su Jingzhen and Xuening had been watching the fire burn from near Mingyan Mansion all along. They naturally heard the discussions around them.

A smirk played on Su Jingzhen’s lips once more.

He muttered to himself, “This is the cultivation world’s version of ‘wine and meat stink from rich households while bones lie frozen on the road.’”

The things Feng Qingya was willing to burn without a second thought were resources that countless ordinary cultivators dreamed of but could never obtain.

He recalled his past life on Earth, where resources were always concentrated in the hands of a select few.

Even though Su Jingzhen had worked incredibly hard in his past life, he was ultimately unable to escape the fate of being controlled.

Fortunately, in this cultivation world, he had a golden finger and had already gained a certain level of status. Acquiring resources was now incredibly easy.

He also believed that in this life, he would definitely stand at the pinnacle of power.

After setting the fire, Feng Qingya stood there silently watching.

Her expression was emotionless. With Feng Xuan and Feng Lie handling everything back at the Feng family, there was nothing she needed to do for now.

She would simply return to being the eldest daughter of the Feng family.

Su Jingzhen and Xuening stood quietly beside her, not moving around.

As the fire in Mingyan Mansion finally died down, it was already evening.

Feng Qingya turned to the old man beside her, Mu Lao, and said, “Mu Lao, rebuild it according to my usual preferences.”

Mu Lao nodded. “Yes, three days should be enough.”

“Good!”

Feng Qingya nodded and then addressed Su Jingzhen and Xuening, “Master Su, Xuening, let’s go back. By now, the Feng family’s changes should have been handled by the ancestors.

It’s your turn for good fortune, and perhaps the ancestors will even have time to help you with it. From today onwards, the Feng family will be reborn!”

A genuine smile finally graced Feng Qingya’s lips as she spoke.

The group then turned and headed back towards the Feng family mansion.

Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe again as he listened to their words and looked at the ruins of Mingyan Mansion.

“The cultivation world is truly amazing,” he thought. “Mingyan Mansion was so vast, yet such a large-scale project could be completed in just three days.”

Su Jingzhen knew that three days was actually a bit excessive. With the capabilities of cultivators, the basic construction could probably be finished in a day.

However, Feng Qingya’s requirements were likely higher, and there would be various intricate decorations involved.

Three days would be enough for that.

Their journey back was as high-profile as their arrival, drawing the attention of everyone in the city.

However, Su Jingzhen and his companions had grown accustomed to such attention and didn’t feel uncomfortable.

Soon, they arrived at the main gate of the Feng family mansion.

More and more people had gathered here, and representatives from various factions still stood there.

When they saw Feng Qingya and her group return, these people approached them again, but this time they took the initiative to block their way.

A black-clad, white-haired old man bowed to Feng Qingya.

“Miss Feng, Spirit Sound Valley comes with sincerity this time. As long as we can get our Valley Master and the others back, the Feng family can name their terms.

Considering Spirit Sound Valley’s previous kindness towards Miss Feng, we hope Miss Feng will convey our message.”

The Feng Family had captured Sikong Tingyun and Grandma Yinhua, two Nascent Soul cultivators, along with ten Golden Core late-stage protectors.

Losing them wouldn’t just be a blow to their spirit; it would be a devastating loss.

Hearing this, Feng Qingya returned the bow.

“Elder Tie Jian, rest assured, Uncle Sikong and the others will be fine.”

This elder was also a Nascent Soul cultivator, known as Elder Tie Jian.

For Feng Qingya, while she could ignore other factions, Spirit Sound Valley was a force that required special attention.

Regardless of Sikong Tingyun’s true intentions in the past, he had certainly offered protection when Feng Qingya was at her lowest.

For this alone, Feng Qingya wouldn’t allow anything to happen to the people of Spirit Sound Valley. This was the fruit of the good karma Sikong Tingyun had sown.

After saying her piece, Feng Qingya didn’t say anything more to Elder Tie Jian.

She took Su Jingzhen and the others back into the Feng family mansion.

Hearing this, Elder Tie Jian’s brow relaxed.

No matter what, Feng Qingya’s reputation was at least good. Elder Tie Jian believed she would keep her promises.

At this time, representatives from Lingxiu Pavilion and Flowing Wind Sword Sect, among other factions, also wanted to come and talk, but they were too late.

“Let’s go back,” one of them said. “It seems the Feng family won’t be seeing us today.”

“They gave us a three-day deadline, but they’re going to drag it out until the third day. This is a show of force.

Perhaps they think we’re not worthy of negotiating with the Feng family.

Maybe we should go back and bring someone more influential. After all, our status isn’t equal to Feng Xuan, the current head of the Feng family.”

“…”

Having waited a whole day here, the representatives of the various factions finally saw through the Feng family’s attitude.

They didn’t insist on staying any longer and returned to their respective sects.

This was a case of “when in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

After Su Jingzhen and the others returned to the Feng family mansion, Feng Qingya seemed to have received a message and directly led them to the Treasure Pavilion.

Returning to this familiar place, Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat, knowing that the Feng family was about to show their sincerity.

Previously, when Feng Lie, the Grand Elder, allowed them to choose any medicinal herb from the Treasure Pavilion, it was their due wages.

This time, however, it was a gesture of gratitude from the Feng family for saving their ancestors.

As Feng Qingya led the two into the Treasure Pavilion, they saw Bai Xiu and Ye Zhiqiu on the first floor.

“The two young friends have finally arrived.

I promised you, as a reward for saving my life, that I would give you some good fortune.

But with the recent turmoil in the Feng family, I didn’t have the time.

The Feng family is now considered stable, and the promise I made to you should be fulfilled.

Now, I will send you into the Treasure Pavilion. Inside, you can choose anything you like.

This time it is no longer limited to medicinal herbs, but also pill formulas, magic weapons, or cultivation techniques.

The treasures in our Feng family Treasure Pavilion are numerous, and I believe it will not disappoint you.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen and the others’ hearts moved again.

Although they could only choose one thing, it was indeed much more generous than Feng Lie.

Before Su Jingzhen and the others could respond, Feng Xuan gently waved his hand.

In front of the four of them, a black token appeared for each of them.

One side of the token was engraved with the character “Feng,” while the other side had complex inscriptions. In the center of these inscriptions was a simple pattern of the Treasure Pavilion.

“These tokens have miniature teleportation arrays. The Feng family Treasure Pavilion has seven floors. As long as you want to go to a certain floor, input your spiritual energy into the corresponding image, and you can go there.

Now, you four can enter.

Take your time and choose, the treasures in the Feng family Treasure Pavilion are numerous, don’t rush to make a decision.”

As he said this, Feng Xuan looked at them kindly.

The Feng family Treasure Pavilion definitely contained treasures of immeasurable value, some even considered to be ancestral treasures.

But Feng Xuan didn’t care about it.

To him, treasures, no matter how important or precious, were nothing but external objects.

Compared to his own life, they were insignificant.

If he hadn’t woken up, everything here would have already been divided up by other forces.

“Thank you, senior!”

Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu looked at each other and directly bowed respectfully to Feng Xuan.

Then, following Feng Xuan’s instructions, they poured their spiritual energy into the tokens in their hands.

In the next instant, the figures of the two disappeared from this floor.

The first floor of the Treasure Pavilion didn’t have anything good anyway.

“Big Brother Su, what do you want?”

At this time, Xuening looked at Su Jingzhen and asked.

Su Jingzhen didn’t answer directly, but smiled and said, “Xuening, whatever you want, just go in and choose.

Don’t follow anyone’s opinion.

If I go with you, I might inadvertently influence you. This is a chance given to you by Senior Feng, make your own decision.”

Hearing this, Xuening no longer hesitated.

She activated the token in her hand and disappeared from her spot.

After Xuening also entered the Treasure Pavilion.

Su Jingzhen’s gaze turned to Feng Xuan, who, along with Feng Qingya, looked at him with some confusion.

“Young Friend Su, aren’t you going in?”

Su Jingzhen shook his head. “Right now, this junior isn’t lacking in anything.

I’m just a bit curious about the origin of this brick.

If the Feng family still has the rest of this brick, then this junior would like it.”

As he spoke, Su Jingzhen took out his black brick.

He could tell that it was just a fragment of some larger object.

He found the thing very convenient to use, and if he could get the complete version, it would be great.

As for other things, it wasn’t that he was showing off; he truly didn’t need them.

He was a Body Cultivator, and he already had two drops of North Sea Dragon’s blood to aid in his cultivation.

He naturally believed Shuang Jiang’s words that North Sea Dragon’s blood was the best body-tempering holy relic for him at this stage.

He didn’t need anything else.

As for body-tempering techniques, Shuang Jiang’s “Python Scales Power” was enough.

He knew that Shuang Jiang, alone, had probably already surpassed the entire Feng family.

He didn’t believe the Feng family could have a better body-tempering technique than “Python Scales Power”.

As for formulas, although he was an alchemist, at least for now, he didn’t really need them.

Su Jingzhen’s current alchemy level was only at the third rank, and third-rank pills like Heart-Calming Pill and Rebirth Pill were already sufficient.

Even fourth-rank pills like Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill existed.

For him, alchemy was just a means to acquire resources.

Besides, too much of a good thing could be bad.

Unless one day he needed a specific type of pill, he might consider asking for the corresponding formula.

At least for now, the formulas he possessed were enough for him to earn spirit stones and other resources.

Seeing the black brick in Su Jingzhen’s hand, Feng Qingya’s expression flickered slightly.

Feng Xuan, on the other hand, looked puzzled.

He had no idea about this black brick.

Although the black brick had been in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion for many years, even when he wasn’t in seclusion many years ago, he rarely interfered with the affairs of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Feng Qingya immediately explained to Feng Xuan, “Ancestor, this black brick was purchased by Master Su from Qingya before.

It’s unknown what material it’s made of, but it’s incredibly hard.

Even the alchemists in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion couldn’t melt it.

Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t even leave a mark on it.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen felt a little disappointed.

Since Feng Xuan didn’t know, then finding the rest of this black brick would probably be hopeless.

Feng Xuan’s eyes, however, held a hint of curiosity.

“Young Friend Su, would you mind letting this old man take a look at your black brick?”

Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and tossed the black brick to Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan sensed it for a long time and his brows gradually furrowed.

Then, he channeled his spiritual energy into the black brick.

The latter didn’t react at all.

He then formed hand seals, igniting a blazing flame in his palm.

He burned the black brick until it turned red hot, but it showed no signs of damage.

“Such hard material!”

The flame didn’t work, so Feng Xuan placed the brick in mid-air.

He moved his hand seals again, and a silver-white thunderbolt instantly condensed from the void.

It struck the black brick directly.

However, this thunderbolt, which could have destroyed a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, left not even a trace on the brick.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the three people present were filled with shock.

Feng Xuan then said, “This is a treasure, but as Young Friend Su said, it should be just a fragment.

This thing is definitely not from my Feng family, and it shouldn’t even be something made in the Qingzhou cultivation world.

It must have come to our Treasure Gathering Pavilion from outside Qingzhou.”

Feng Xuan’s words made Su Jingzhen nod. This was actually within his expectations.

“Since that’s the case, may I keep this opportunity for now?”

For him, entering the Treasure Pavilion and randomly choosing a valuable but useless treasure at this time was not as good as keeping this favor.

Who knew what unexpected benefits it might bring in the future.

Hearing his words, a hint of surprise flashed in Feng Xuan’s eyes.

He looked at Su Jingzhen quietly for several seconds, then smiled and said, “If Young Friend Su truly doesn’t need other worldly possessions,

This old man understands and won’t force you.

But there is a treasure that my Feng family has treasured for over twenty years, which I believe Young Friend Su will definitely like.”

Hearing this, both Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya’s eyes lit up with curiosity.

If it was something from the Ancestor’s personal collection, it would definitely be extraordinary.
