Chapter 10 Master's Wife, Master, Can I Lend You My Hand?
Chapter 10 Master's Wife, Master, Can I Lend You My Hand?
Wen Siyuan saw the lightning, feeling both anticipation and worry.
I hope it's because Master is about to undergo a breakthrough and is about to face the tribulation, but I'm also worried about whether Master can successfully overcome the tribulation.
The sect leader, deputy sect leader, and sect elders all rushed over.
"Sect Master, don't worry, Xiao He will definitely survive the tribulation. She's taking every step steadily and surely."
"And the magical artifacts you prepared, and the pills I gave you, they'll definitely be fine."
The sect leader nodded, but Jiang He was his daughter, so how could he not worry?
As the thunder grew louder and louder, the long-awaited thunder finally struck.
Jiang He had already made all the necessary preparations.
He was covered in defensive magical artifacts and had taken healing pills in advance.
He gripped his sword and charged towards the lightning.
The heavenly lightning bolts were increasingly powerful, and Jiang He's defensive magical artifacts shattered one by one.
The elixir inside the body is repairing the wounds that have appeared.
Jiang He's body was reshaped again and again, and he changed his sword time and time again.
Finally, the last bolt of lightning struck, and Jiang He, having undergone the baptism of heavenly lightning, was completely transformed, and her nascent soul was formed.
The dark clouds dispersed, and colorful rays of light appeared.
Jiang He cast a cleansing spell on herself, changed her clothes, took her sword, flew into the air, and bathed in the baptism of the sunset.
Feeling the abundant spiritual energy within my body, this powerful feeling is wonderful.
At this moment, I am the best in the world.
This feeling vanished the moment she saw her father and the deputy sect leader.
These two old guys have already reached the Nascent Soul stage; crushing her is as easy as crushing an ant for them. She can't possibly float away.
Yes, it feels like being grounded.
"He'er, are you alright?"
"Father, I'm doing well. Your daughter has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"The younger generation is truly formidable; Xiao He is already at the Nascent Soul stage."
"Thanks to the pills given by my martial uncle, I am able to stand here unharmed."
"It's just a little bit of medicine. I'll send you some more later."
"Then thank you very much, Uncle-Master."
Aren't you going to thank me?
"Of course I have to thank you, Dad. Thanks to this pile, it saved me a lot of trouble. Dad, are you going to take these back?"
"What's the use of this pile of garbage? I'll give you something better. Come find me later."
After seeing that Jiang He had successfully passed the tribulation, the sect leader and deputy sect leader returned home.
Others came forward to congratulate Jiang He.
"Master, congratulations."
Wen Siyuan also came forward.
Jiang He sized up Wen Siyuan. Three years had passed, and he had grown much taller. He was wearing the robes of a disciple personally taught by He Feng.
However, he was covered in various defensive magical artifacts. Hmm, was he afraid of dying?
However, his cultivation level has improved quite quickly, and he is now at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
It seems that he has been diligently cultivating himself over the past three years and has not been lazy.
Jiang He nodded; only this person was worthy of being her disciple.
Gu Yunzhou watched from afar as Jiang He was surrounded by admirers, his expression changing repeatedly.
She has actually broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
As a Daoist partner, Gu Yunzhou felt no joy for Jiang He whatsoever.
She only has access to so many resources because she is the sect leader's daughter, which allows her to easily improve her cultivation level.
She was only focused on her own cultivation and didn't care about him at all.
Does she still have feelings for him as her Daoist partner?
And what about that rebellious disciple Wen Siyuan? Didn't Jiang He know that he was expelled from the sect by him? Yet she still took him in, treated him kindly, and gave him so many cultivation resources. As his master's wife, why didn't she send some cultivation resources to her disciples?
That's really discriminatory treatment.
Seeing that Jiang He was about to leave, Gu Yunzhou became anxious.
She saw him, but didn't she come over? Did she just ignore him and leave?
She still doesn't care about him.
Luckily, he knew she was undergoing a tribulation of lightning and came over immediately.
"Master, didn't Master's wife see us? Why didn't she come over to say hello?"
Liu Yan stood next to Gu Yunzhou and asked curiously after seeing Gu Yunzhou take a step.
Gu Yunzhou paused in his steps.
"It's alright, there are too many people now, let's not disturb her for now."
Your master's wife breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is something to celebrate. I'll invite her over later and throw her a proper celebration.
He also had many things to discuss with Jiang He.
For example, the cultivation resources of Yunfeng, the birthday gifts owed to him, and the cultivation resources needed by several disciples.
Jiang He went out to train for ten years and then went into seclusion for three years. In those thirteen years, he didn't even exchange two words with her.
Most importantly, in these thirteen years, without Jiang He providing him with resources, he is now struggling to make ends meet. His disciples are also starving, and Yan'er, with her poor aptitude, needs even more resources to improve her cultivation and break through to a higher realm.
Gu Yunzhou led his disciples back to Yunfeng.
Send your eldest apprentice to Hefeng to invite Jiang He over for a get-together.
The eldest apprentice took a secluded route to Hefeng.
They always feel like people are pointing fingers at them when they walk around outside.
Because they were punished by the Enforcement Hall three years ago.
The disciples of Yunfeng are unwilling to leave Yunfeng.
But none of them thought they had done anything wrong.
They didn't do anything immoral or heinous; Junior Sister Yan just wanted to cook something delicious.
And that phoenix grass—they didn't know it was planted specifically by the vice sect leader.
Moreover, the grass turned out fine in the end, but Liu Yan was injured by the backlash from the barrier.
Finally, subjecting each of them to ten strokes of the cane was an overreaction.
The eldest apprentice arrived at Hefeng; the last time he came was three years ago.
I didn't expect this place to have changed so much.
He realized he was lost.
He had been to Hefeng so many times, a place he could walk to with his eyes closed, yet now he was lost.
But there's only one road, so it seems like we're going in circles.
The master's wife's cave was right in front of us, within sight, but we couldn't seem to reach it.
What is the master's wife up to? Is she trying to make them unwelcome, or is she deliberately putting on a smokescreen?
Jiang He and Wen Siyuan returned to Hefeng.
Jiang He was quite satisfied; He Feng didn't look abandoned. Her cave dwelling was also spotless; it really did need someone to guard it.
"What kind of magic have you learned in these three years? Have you been practicing your swordsmanship properly?"
Wen Siyuan recounted all the spells he had learned over the past three years.
He practices swordsmanship in the bamboo forest for two hours every day.
Moreover, by chance, he also gained some knowledge of weapon crafting and formations.
He meditates and cultivates every night, never daring to slack off.
"You're also studying weapon crafting and formations? Can you manage it all?"
Jiang He only remembered that Wen Siyuan had also studied weapon crafting in the dream, but she didn't expect him to have even started working on formations.
"I only have a slight interest in formations, and I have studied a few. But I still prefer swordsmanship and alchemy."
"It's alright, as long as you're happy."
Cultivation knows no time; one must find the path that suits them best.
"I'll take you to a secret realm for some training in a few days."
Jiang He has now entered the Nascent Soul stage and plans to go out and gain some experience to consolidate her strength.
It just so happens that Wen Siyuan has also just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. No matter how many times you practice swordsmanship, you still need to apply it in actual combat.
"Jiang He, we have been waiting for you for so long, why don't you come to Yunfeng to keep our appointment?" Gu Yunzhou and his group had prepared a banquet at Yunfeng long ago, but Jiang He had not come.
Liu Yan was still stirring things up from the side, saying that the master's wife didn't care about the master.
Gu Yunzhou was furious and brought his men over directly.
Upon arrival, I saw Jiang He chatting and laughing with that rebellious disciple.
They really didn't take him seriously.
"Gu Yunzhou, why are you waiting for me?"
“I didn’t send someone here to inform you that a celebration banquet will be held for you in Yunfeng. If you don’t want to, you can just say so. What’s the point of pretending here?”
So you look down on me just because you've broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?
I was so eager to celebrate for you, but you didn't care about me at all.
We are Daoist partners, the closest of relationships, but what about you? Do you care about me even a little bit?
You spent ten years traveling and training, and three years in seclusion, always leaving on a whim. In your heart, do you still have me as your Daoist partner?
If you really don't want to, you can always dissolve our Daoist partnership.
From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine.
Gu Yunzhou launched into a barrage of attacks right from the start.
He wanted to make Jiang He feel guilty so that she could make amends to him.
"Who did you send to inform them? I didn't see them."
“Master’s wife, after Master learned that you had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, he instructed us to prepare a banquet and also sent our eldest brother to invite you.”
"Oh? Where is your senior brother? I haven't seen him. Did he invite me, his master's wife?"
Jiang He looked at Liu Yan, thinking that her gaze was poorly cultivated. Her eyes were filled with hostility; for a Qi Refining cultivator to speak to a Nascent Soul cultivator like that—was she courting death?
