Chapter 142: Wall Slam
Su Tingyun is searching for a water that has a lot of spiritual energy, and everyone in the Obliteration Sword Tower knows this.
It's unclear when the news reached the Bai family, but early in the morning, just as Su Tingyun's primordial spirit has broken through the Tribulation Transcendent stage, she hears someone calling her outside. Upon going out, she sees the Ninth Elder of the Bai family, dressed in a long robe, standing at the door with a gentle smile. Although he appears somewhat older, he exudes a refined and handsome demeanor, possessing a mature charm that time has gracefully distilled, like aged wine becoming more fragrant with time.
To be honest, due to Su Tingyun transmigrating into the body of Wei Yun, her grandmother's generation, and later playing the role of a Granny for more than a decade, she subconsciously treats these young and energetic cultivators as juniors. But being someone who respects elders and cares for the young, she naturally holds a deep respect for someone like the Ninth Elder. This puts her in an awkward position now.
Those who appear to be in their twenties or younger are all considered juniors. Bai Chengyu, calls her Granny everyday. Bai Su is Bai Chengyu's brother so, naturally, a dear younger generation.
For those with an appearance in their thirties or forties and above, in the cultivation world, their ages are somewhat daunting, easily reaching tens of thousands. They should be considered elders and deserve respect.
With different generations, what about romance? She doesn't even have her own body. Even if there are piles and piles of beautiful men in front of her, Su Tingyun would merely appreciate the sight of them, without harboring any other thoughts.
When a middle-aged man wants to see her, Su Tingyun doesn't dare delay. She gets into Xi Guang's body then she quickly descends the attic, then opens the door. Just as she's about to invite the Ninth Elder to sit in the hall downstairs, she sees the him taking out a dark green medicine bottle, gently shaking it twice. A breeze blows through his wide sleeves, carrying a faint scent of grass.
She hears the slight sound of water inside the green bottle, the subtle sloshing against the container, resembling the tinkling of spring water.
"Friend Yun-Immortal, they said you're collecting spring water with strong spiritual energy. I happened to have some treasures in store, so I went back to fetch them yesterday. I don't know if it could be of use." Knowing that she needs spiritual energy-dense spring water, but not the specific purpose, the Ninth Elder brings out the Yunshan Morning Dew, which has the densest spiritual energy and holds the highest value in the True Immortal Realm.
There is a hidden dark cloud in the Cloud Mountain (Yunshan). At night it blooms, and people call it the beauty under the moon. This flower is extremely rare, with no particularly significant value. Its blooming period is short, and the time it remains in full bloom is exceptionally brief. At that moment, when the flower is plucked and placed on the bluestone at the mountain summit, it waits for the arrival of the sun at dawn. The dark cloud flower will transform into a drop of morning. This morning dew is an extremely rare secret treasure in the True Immortal Realm.
It has abundant spiritual energy and can enhance aptitude. It is also a great elixir for preserving one's youthful appearance, pursued by countless female cultivators.
Firstly, dark cloud flowers are very rare, and their blooming period is extremely brief.
A snap and sixty instants, an instant and nine hundred lives come and go. That moment when the dark cloud flower is in full bloom, using the terms life and death is most fitting. After plucking it, the dark cloud flower weeps blood, attracting numerous spirit beasts to go into a frenzy. To stand at the mountain summit and wait for the first ray of sunlight in the morning requires extraordinary strength. In other words, the few drops of Yunshan Morning Dew in this small bottle can buy a spiritual vein in the True Immortal Realm, making it invaluable.
The Ninth Elder hasn’t been taking any actions, but now that he has, it is truly astonishing. Even the bottle he chose to store the morning dew was deliberately selected because they said Su Tingyun likes the color green. After all, her swords are also green.
"You've already given us so much." Su Tingyun doesn't know what to say because the Bai family has been crazy lately.
The Obliteration Sword Tower used to have sold almost everything, and the entire island was deserted. But now, it has undergone a drastic transformation. It's like they've hired free interior and exterior decorators; both indoor and outdoor renovations happening simultaneously. If not for everyone strongly opposing it, the Obliteration Sword Tower would undoubtedly turn into a luxurious Immortal Palace, surpassing all the sects in this realm.
"Compared to the Word Spirit, all these are nothing," the Ninth Elder says with a slight smile.
Su Tingyun feels even more pressure. After hesitating for a moment, she purses her lips and says, "You're the protectors of the Word Spirit. Is there any way to make her recognize a new master?"
Back then, the Word Spirit recognizing a master could be considered coincidence, and she doesn't know if there are other methods. If the Bai family members were fierce and ruthless, Su Tingyun wouldn't feel much, but with everyone acting so innocently, not only not blaming her, but also going out of their way to please her in different ways every day, it always makes her feel bad.
They probably think that if the consciousness recognizes a master and the master disagrees, it will be like burning both jade and common stone, both parties will suffer, the Word Spirit might also be hurt. But what if she willingly hands over Big Bai to Bai Su?
As the words fall, she sees Big Bai hopping over at lightning speed, transforming into a chubby figure in mid-air. With a single motion, she sits down, the Ninth Elder directly underneath. Her body color also turns grayish, and takes on a fierce look in a crouch, glaring at Su Tingyun. She's so infuriated that she can't even speak.
Little Bai claps its leaves, gloating, "Granny, you're done for. Big Bai doesn't want to deal with you anymore."
After saying this, Big Bai jumps up and runs away. The Ninth Elder isn't harmed. The current Big Bai can't harm him at all. He stands up, brushes off the dust, and says, "This reborn Word Spirit is different from before. Since it has chosen you, we will respect its choice. We hope you will do the same and not feel burdened in any way."
No one can change the fact that the Word Spirit has chosen its master; otherwise, he wouldn't have lost back then! His aptitude is the best! The Ninth Elder's smile doesn't diminish, but inside, he is extremely manic.
