"No need for Upper Realm Immortals, even the Buddhist and Daoist Sects from your sect can dismiss them." Si Lingxi said lightly, "Moreover, the Da Jing Court is not easy to deal with either, even for ordinary Celestial Demon Ancestors, victory is rare."
"Is it that fierce..." Lu Zheng was speechless.
"Didn’t I just kill him?" Si Lingxi raised an eyebrow.
"That proves my wife is amazing!" Lu Zheng imdiately said fawningly.
Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying laughed upon hearing this, but Si Lingxi was indeed formidable.
The group casually joked for a couple of sentences, and then Shen Ying’s eyes shifted, pulling out the pearl Lu Zheng had obtained after killing that Stone Ghost recently, still shrouded in faint Yin Qi.
"Sister Lingxi, look at this pearl. Lu Lang said its power is extrely strong, even comparable to Divine Monarch Xuan Ruo’s Primordial Spirit Poison Pearl. It should be a famous treasure, which we don’t recognize. Could you take a look?" Shen Ying asked.
"Oh?"
Si Lingxi curiously took it, probed with True Qi, and upon sensing its power, she was surprised, looking at Lu Zheng, "How could you possibly get this pearl?"
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Of course, by killing and plundering!"
Si Lingxi was even more surprised, "You killed the owner of this pearl? Even if a ghost with the strength of the Snow Robe Princess held this, you wouldn’t stand a chance against her. Just escaping safely would be impressive."
Lu Zheng laughed heartily, "Well, I was lucky. The pearl’s owner had extrely weak Dao Practice, only five to six hundred years, rely relying on being a Nether Stone Ghost Corpse skilled in concealnt, using Earth Travel Technique, and the power of this treasure to roam the mortal world.
But I just happened to also know Earth Travel Technique and learned the Taiyue Divine Mountain Painting to sense earth veins, plus with the Divine Technique Earth-to-Steel to counter him."
"Yet even so, relying solely on the treasure’s thick power..."
Si Lingxi couldn’t help but smirk, "Spirit Secret Technique?"
"Exactly!"
Lu Zheng smiled proudly, "This treasure indeed protected him well, but it’s ultimately an external aid and lacks defense against Spirit Secret Techniques. I didn’t even use the Black Fish Divine Pearl and still took him down."
Si Lingxi nodded, curious again, "What is the Taiyue Divine Mountain Painting then?"
Shen Ying chid in, "It’s the legacy of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sect Leader in the Upper Realm, Emperor Taiyue. The Taiyue Stele has 108 Mountain and River Map diagrams totaling 12,960 movents. Once mastered, the body becos like a Divine Mountain, immune to all laws, eternal and indestructible."
Si Lingxi: ???
"I was just gone for over a month, how does it feel like I’ve missed a lot?" Si Lingxi blinked her phoenix eyes in surprise.
"That’s not all!"
Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying couldn’t help laughing, coming to Si Lingxi’s sides to update her on recent happenings.
Like how folks on Blue Star have already noticed Lu Zheng’s uniqueness and the matter of the three won, and how Lu Zheng plans to inform his parents within limits and bring the three won ho for New Year’s reunion.
Si Lingxi was speechless, having just said not to let others know about matters between the two realms, yet folks on Blue Star probably already knew.
"Luckily, it’s not on the Da Jing side." Si Lingxi shook her head, "Not a big issue."
"Besides..." Si Lingxi smiled, "Should we... invite your father and mother to Phoenix Mountain for a few days?"
Lu Zheng wrapped an arm around Si Lingxi’s slender waist, shaking his head, "Let’s not tell them about the crossing, nor reveal your true identities."
Lu Zheng thought for a mont, then smiled again, "But we should still call them father and mother, to avoid anyone guessing your... cough cough cough hiss—"
Si Lingxi nonchalantly withdrew her jade finger, her face unchanged, while Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying’s jade faces twitched, barely holding back laughter.
Indeed, Si Lingxi was becoming more down-to-earth.
Lu Zheng grinned, feeling the abundance of Light of Fortune in the Mind Jade Seal, preparing to affirm his husbandly authority tonight.
Si Lingxi toyed with the pearl in her hand, steering the conversation back to the topic that had long diverged.
"You’re quite lucky; this pearl indeed has a significant background."
"What is its origin?" Lu Zheng and the two won were very curious.
"Profound Yin Divine Pearl." Si Lingxi said indifferently.
"Another treasure of Profound Yin Divine Monarch?"
"Renowned alongside the Profound Yin Divine Mirror, it’s another supre treasure of the Profound Yin Divine Monarch’s roaming the Netherworld.
It contains boundless Profound Yin Qi, capable of forming a vast Profound Yin Netherworld within.
Its material is unparalleled, ignoring all forbidden defenses, and is indestructible.
Additionally, it can rge with the Netherworld, possessing Gathering Yin and Qi capabilities, growing automatically, aiding in cultivation."
"How impressive!" Lu Zheng clicked his tongue.
If the Profound Yin Divine Mirror is considered an auxiliary combat treasure, then the Profound Yin Divine Pearl is the main battle treasure.
Lu Zheng held Shen Ying’s hand, "Darling, my future safety depends on you!"
The three won simultaneously rolled their eyes.
"Fortunately, Ying can also use this Profound Yin Pearl, but to fully refine it would still take a lot of effort, which you must handle yourself." Si Lingxi instructed, "Additionally, refine it more with Peach Blossoms’ Incense and Candle Qi. This Qi, condensed from the sincere wishes of all beings, has the effect of protecting the soul, perhaps compensating for so weaknesses of the Profound Yin Divine Pearl."
Shen Ying was startled, "What virtue or capability do I have to compensate for the weaknesses of the Profound Yin Divine Pearl?"
Si Lingxi shook her head and smiled, "Why rush? If not in ten years, then twenty; if not twenty, then a hundred years. With the legacy of Peach Blossoms, it’ll beco a perfect ho, and one day, you can refine the Profound Yin Divine Pearl and improve it, turning it into your treasure."
Shen Ying nodded repeatedly, also stirring up passion within her.
Then...
A soft "whimper" sounded, and Liu Qingquan awoke while lying on the clouds, nestled in Liu Qingyan’s arms.
"How did I fall asleep just now?" Liu Qingquan was bewildered, then glanced around, twitching her nose as if trying to sll sothing.
But she didn’t sll anything.
Liu Qingquan’s delicate brows frowned, sneaking a glance at Si Lingxi and her own sister, "You cleaned it up?"
Lu Zheng, "..."
The three won, "..."
"Ping!"
Liu Qingyan flicked Liu Qingquan’s forehead, leaving a red mark.
"Ouch!"
"What were you thinking! Si Lingxi was discussing matters about demons, which are strange, worried you couldn’t handle it, hence making you faint!"
"Got it, it hurts, it hurts!"
Liu Qingquan clutched her forehead, teary-eyed and pitiful, "I didn’t say anything, how do you know what I’m thinking if you didn’t think it?"
Liu Qingyan squinted, and Liu Qingquan bounced into Lu Zheng’s arms, "Brother-in-law, save ... ah... ah my hairpin!"
...
The group laughed and chatted as they flew back to Tonglin County.
The journey out had not been short; that evening, Lu Zheng cooked personally, had a small gathering, and then everyone went ho to sleep.
...
The Jade Seal lightly vibrated, fortune whirling.
Birds and phoenixes twirled, husbandly authority affird.
