My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 338: Chapter 337: A Rare Seclusion, Only to Suppress Cultivation

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Su Qi nodded pitifully. "It’s really bad. I have to get Master to come help me. I’m doomed, I’m doomed! I’m about to start Crossing the Tribulation, but I don’t know how!"

Jiang Zuo comforted her, "Calm down. It’ll be fine. Ask your master first."

’Su Qi is actually Crossing the Tribulation already? I don’t know what’s going on, but I have to make sure she gets through it safely. It would be terrible if anything went wrong.’

Su Qi nodded. "I’ll call her right now."

’Su Qi’s Cultivation is very strange. The way it’s increasing isn’t right, either.’

’But I just can’t figure out what’s going on.’

’Is it because of her Cultivation Technique?’

’Or is it really because we’re in a relationship?’

’A Cultivation Technique that can raise one’s Cultivation just by being in a relationship?’

Jiang Zuo pondered for a moment. He actually did recall a Cultivation Technique that could increase one’s Cultivation through romance—the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique.

The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique was extremely special. It could be thirteen different Cultivation Techniques, or it could be a single, complete one.

As far as he knew, when the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique was cultivated to completion, one would enter a state of supreme indifference, feeling no sorrow or joy, no love or hate.

This Cultivation Technique was very powerful, but also extremely difficult to practice. ’It’s impossible that Su Qi is practicing this kind of technique.’

He had examined Su Qi’s Cultivation Technique before. It wasn’t the standard Holy Land one, but it wasn’t anything particularly rare either.

All in all, it was quite ordinary.

’It wasn’t enough to make her Cultivation rise like this.’

’If the problem isn’t with Su Qi, then where is it?’

Jiang Zuo’s first thought, naturally, was himself.

’But I don’t feel like anything’s wrong with me.’

Still without any leads, Jiang Zuo could only give up on his speculation. Right now, the priority was helping Su Qi get through her Celestial Tribulation.

’So, what can I do?’

’I can do a lot, but I’ll need quite a few things. It’s hard to say if I can find them here.’

’With Magic and Elements fused together here, I really don’t have high hopes.’

At that moment, Su Qi finished her call. Jiang Zuo asked, "What did your master say?"

"Master said I should go into seclusion first to suppress my Cultivation. She’ll come over in a couple of days. She needs to take care of some other things," Su Qi said, her face full of disappointment.

Jiang Zuo said, "So it’s all handled, right? Why the long face?"

"I haven’t gone into seclusion once in the last ten years. Now I have to do it just to suppress my Cultivation. It feels so weird.

"And we’re supposed to be on our honeymoon, but I have to run off into seclusion instead. What a waste," Su Qi said, feeling it was a real shame.

Jiang Zuo was speechless.

’She hasn’t gone into seclusion to cultivate for ten years, and the one time she does, it’s to suppress her Cultivation.’

’How can she say something like that with such an aggrieved tone?’

Even Jiang Zuo felt a little like Su Qi deserved a spanking.

However, he still pinched Su Qi’s cheek and said, "Smile. Besides, this is a good thing. Maybe once your Cultivation is higher, you’ll have more free time. And we can keep having fun after you come out of seclusion."

Su Qi nodded, then said, "Then while I’m in seclusion, you’re not allowed to go causing trouble. Don’t even think about trying to make a name for yourself by going off to fight the Elements.

"Otherwise, if I find out, I might be overcome with anxiety, and then when it’s time for Crossing the Tribulation, I’ll fai—mmph."

Before Su Qi could finish, Jiang Zuo covered her mouth and said sternly, "Hush. And I won’t cause any trouble. You just focus on your seclusion and then on Crossing the Tribulation.

"You said it yourself: you have a husband now, so you know what’s important.

"So just focus on preparing for Crossing the Tribulation. I’ll be waiting for you to come back... so you can act spoiled with me again."

Su Qi turned her head away. "I’m not some little girl. I don’t act spoiled anymore."

Jiang Zuo just smiled and nodded, not saying anything more.

’Whatever Su Qi says, goes. Well, it seems like whatever she says goes most of the time, anyway.’

"So, where will you go into seclusion? Our place, or somewhere in the mountains?" Jiang Zuo asked.

’It might be safer and quieter in the mountains.’

’She could go into seclusion without any distractions.’

But Su Qi said, "At our place, of course. I’ll go buy a Grand Array in a little bit, so we won’t have to worry about being disturbed."

Jiang Zuo nodded. ’That’s fine too.’

’I can’t rest easy if I have to rely on others. I’ll only be at ease if I’m the one watching over her.’

Afterward, Su Qi went and bought the usage rights to a Grand Array. Soon, their residence was enveloped in the glow of a powerful Array.

It was indeed a good Array. Anyone below Tier Five would be absolutely unable to affect it in the slightest.

Once Su Qi had set the permissions, she said to Jiang Zuo, "This might take two or three days. You are not allowed to cause any trouble. If you do... I’ll... I’ll give you a daughter! A whole bunch of them!"

Jiang Zuo was exasperated. ’What kind of threat is that?’

"I get it. I definitely won’t go picking fights with the Elements," Jiang Zuo said earnestly.

Just then, Su Qi walked up to Jiang Zuo, gave him a quick kiss, and said, "I’m going into seclusion now. Don’t you dare make me angry."

Jiang Zuo nodded.

Only then did Su Qi head off to her seclusion, her mind at ease.

Jiang Zuo, of course, had no intention of just placating Su Qi. She had repeated herself so many times, after all.

As long as those Elements didn’t come looking for trouble, he definitely wouldn’t head to the Elemental Level to beat them up.

’At this point, there’s no one who could persuade me to go fight the Elements anyway.’

Once Jiang Zuo sensed that Su Qi had fully entered seclusion, he took out his phone and sent a message to the group chat: "Can any of you get your hands on materials for Arrays?"

Liu Yiyi replied: "I know someone who can. Where are you, Fellow Daoist Po Xiao? I can have him go to you."

Po Xiao: "East Water Island."

Liu Yiyi: "(Awkward emoji) Oh, so you’re already on East Water Island, Fellow Daoist. My contact is in Jiang City. If you’re not in a hurry, I can have him deliver them."

’It’s hard to say how urgent Su Qi’s Crossing the Tribulation is, but for me, the sooner the better, of course.’

Then, Jiang Zuo typed:

Po Xiao: "Use Tianhe Group’s express delivery."

Blade Master Hai Bian: "Tianhe Group’s super-express delivery? I heard that as long as the destination is on the Earth’s surface, the Tianhe Group can deliver any package within two hours.

"But the fees are astronomical. The minimum charge is Seventh Grade.

"Given the distance to East Water Island, it’s hard to say if even a single Eighth Grade stone would be enough."

Chen Yi: "See? This is why I say Cultivation makes people stupid. Boss Po Xiao has ten free uses. He could get something sent to space for free."

Many people were stunned. Some didn’t know about this, while others simply hadn’t thought of it.

’In other words, he can send whatever he wants, ten times, for free?’

Chu Qing: "My teacher told me space isn’t part of the Earth’s surface, so they can’t deliver there, right?"

Chen Yi: "..."

’I suddenly have the urge to go thrash Chu Qing.’

Po Xiao: "The next nine are free. Just choose to have the recipient pay."

Chu Qing sent another message: "Sister Xiao, my big sister says she forgot to pack clothes. It’s the perfect chance to send them over with everything else. Just her few favorite outfits will be fine."

Xiao Xiaomo: "..."

Chu Qing: "Oh, right, I forgot my homework, too. My parents are going to be on my case. Sister Xiao, please add that in for me. Just a few of my workbooks will do."

Xiao Xiaomo: "..."

’Are these two trying to be my revered ancestors or something?’

’I kind of want to kill them.’

Fairy Mo Yan: "@Liuyue Xue, I’m out of fruit. Send some more for me. Just have Fairy Xiaomo handle the handoff."

Xiao Xiaomo: "..."

Speaking of fruit, Jiang Zuo also thought those fruits were quite good. He thought for a moment and typed, "Send some of that fruit for me as well. Just pack it all together with the materials."

’So, the ones who didn’t go on the trip just get stuck running errands?’
