Chapter 347: Chapter 346: To Give Him Face, Buy His Things
At dawn, Jiang Zuo watched the sun rise from the sea’s horizon.
He discovered that watching the sunrise from here was even more spectacular.
The only regrettable thing was that Su Qi wasn’t by his side.
A beautiful scene without Su Qi could never truly be called beautiful. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Zuo had no capacity for appreciating beauty.
In his previous life, a mud pit and a scenic vista were the same to him, as was the strength or weakness of any living creature.
Because regardless of whether they were weak or strong, Jiang Zuo could annihilate them with a single palm strike.
After the sun had fully risen and the sky had brightened completely,
Jiang Zuo pushed open the door to the room where Su Qi was in seclusion.
At that moment, Su Qi was still circulating her Cultivation Technique.
Su Qi had told Jiang Zuo how to wake her, but the method she suggested wasn’t very good.
Jiang Zuo had no intention of using it. He walked over to Su Qi’s side and watched her for a moment.
Finally, he gently tapped the spot between her eyebrows.
This single tap landed precisely during a lull in her Cultivation Technique, interrupting its circulation and waking her.
It had no negative effects, just as if she had woken up naturally.
Su Qi opened her eyes, looked at Jiang Zuo, and asked curiously, "Did someone wake me up?"
Jiang Zuo nodded. "I did."
Su Qi smiled. "You were so gentle. How did you do that? I thought you were going to get revenge and slap me hard a couple of times."
Jiang Zuo pinched Su Qi’s cheek. "Am I disappointing you?"
Su Qi grinned. "Not at all. You definitely couldn’t bear to.
Your wife is so beautiful, her skin is so perfect, like flawless jade. What would you do if you damaged it?
What if she wasn’t pleasant to look at anymore?"
Jiang Zuo replied subconsciously, "I’m more worried about you getting violent with me."
Su Qi tilted her head. "I’m a domestic abuser?"
Jiang Zuo nodded. "Mhm."
Then he snapped out of it and shook his head. "No."
Then Jiang Zuo changed the subject. "Auntie said you can undergo your Tribulation today. She’s already made the arrangements for you.
You just need to contact Senior Shui Luo later."
Jiang Zuo wasn’t worried about any mix-ups. Even if it hadn’t originally been for Su Qi, he would have spoken up and had her go through the Tribulation anyway.
Su Qi nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Will you wait for me at home, okay?"
Crossing the Tribulation was no small matter; she would definitely be injured in the process.
Her husband would probably worry.
Jiang Zuo stood there without speaking. ’It really isn’t appropriate for me to watch. Su Qi would be worried about me, wouldn’t she?’
Finally, Jiang Zuo nodded. "Alright."
Su Qi smiled and hugged Jiang Zuo. "Then wait at home for me. Your wife will definitely return to your arms safe and sound."
Jiang Zuo stroked Su Qi’s beautiful hair and said nothing.
’There’s no way I’m just going to wait around at home doing nothing. I have to monitor Su Qi’s Tribulation. Only then can I intervene at a critical moment.’
Su Qi looked up at Jiang Zuo. "So, when should I go?"
Jiang Zuo said, "Around noon. Spend the morning getting used to your current Cultivation. You don’t want to be incredibly powerful but unable to unleash even half of your strength when the time comes."
Su Qi pouted. "How did you know? My Cultivation has been rising so fast lately that I haven’t even had time to consolidate it.
Then again, I don’t think I’ve ever actually consolidated it before..."
Jiang Zuo was speechless. "..."
He always felt that Su Qi wasn’t the least bit dedicated to her Cultivation, yet her Cultivation level just kept on rising.
Her constitution was even more special than Chu Qing’s.
’Could it be that Chu Qing advances through harm, while Su Qi advances through love?
The more he doted on Su Qi, the faster her Cultivation would rise?’
Heh.
Of course, Jiang Zuo didn’t believe it. He had never heard of such a constitution existing.
There had to be another reason. But it was a good thing, so Jiang Zuo didn’t dwell on not knowing the cause. In the future, he would find out eventually.
Jiang Zuo had flipped his coin; there was nothing wrong with Su Qi (aside from the Misfortune Coin).
Just then, Su Qi stood on her tiptoes and gave Jiang Zuo a kiss, then said with a smile, "Alright, I’ll go get used to my Cultivation. You go make me some food."
Jiang Zuo nodded. "Okay. Be careful."
With that, Jiang Zuo walked out, intending to cook.
But after taking just two steps, he turned back, looked at Su Qi, and said, "On second thought, I think I’ll go buy you food instead. You’re about to face your Tribulation; you shouldn’t be risking your life on a meal."
Su Qi remembered just then and laughed. "Then go quickly and come back soon. I’ll need you to keep me company after I’m done familiarizing myself. If you don’t, I’ll get upset."
Jiang Zuo nodded, then headed out to buy food.
As for what he could buy, he really had no idea.
Soon, Jiang Zuo arrived on a street where all sorts of things were sold.
He looked around, just about to buy something, when he suddenly heard a familiar sales pitch: "Come take a look! Freshly-concocted Elemental Spirit Pills! Take this pill and you can merge with an Elemental Spirit, allowing you to comprehend the path of its growth!
It’ll make raising your Elemental Spirit twice as effective with half the effort!
There are only ten bottles of these Elixir Pills in total! Each one sold is one less in the world! Just one Third-Grade Spirit Stone per pill!
Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Jiang Zuo glanced over and, sure enough, saw that Daoist.
At that moment, the Daoist was enthusiastically recommending his wares to a passerby: "Fellow Daoist, take a look at this Elemental Affinity Pill! Take it, and you’ll gain an affinity for the Seven Great Elements. You might even become a Multi-Element Mage!
The path to becoming a Magic God awaits you!
Only one Third-Grade Spirit Stone! Everything here is just one Third-Grade Spirit Stone!"
Seeing this Daoist, the corners of Jiang Zuo’s mouth curved into a smile. It had been a long time since he’d seen him.
And to see him setting up a stall to sell his goods was an even rarer opportunity.
’I wonder what this Daoist plans on giving away this time,’ he mused.
With that, Jiang Zuo walked toward the Daoist’s stall.
But just as he was about to arrive, the Daoist seemed to sense something and abruptly looked in Jiang Zuo’s direction.
Then, his face turned as foul as if he’d just eaten shit.
He couldn’t understand it. Why was he seeing this person again? Why, no matter where he went, did he always have the misfortune of running into him?
And running into him was one thing, but why did this person have to take some benefit from him every single time?
So many of his items were meant to be given to those with fate, but this guy? He would just buy a whole pile, and his eyes were viciously sharp.
He lost money every time he saw him.
However, the Daoist didn’t plan on running. Today, he was selling things related to the Elements.
This person was a pure Cultivator; there was no way he would understand Magic, nor would he know the greatness of the Elements.
’I won’t be scared today!’
The Daoist immediately went to greet Jiang Zuo. "Little Friend, we meet again! To meet is to be bound by fate. The items this humble Daoist has here are, without a doubt, all long-lost Divine Medicines."
The Daoist then took out a bottle of Elixir Pills, poured out a single rainbow-colored pill, and said, "A Seven-Element Pill! Taking this will allow you to forcibly merge with seven different Elemental Spirits.
It’s abnormally powerful, with countless benefits!"
Jiang Zuo looked at the pill. "A Seven-Element Pill, which can merge seven different Elemental Spirits... but a conventional merger of Spirits requires one’s spirit to be divided into equal parts for control. The slightest mistake would result in the complete annihilation of one’s mind."
The Daoist was stunned. ’He knows about this too?’
But knowing was one thing; he still wasn’t afraid.
But before he could continue his sales pitch, Jiang Zuo took the bottle, poured out a Seven-Element Pill, and said, "One Third-Grade, right?"
As he spoke, he tossed a Third-Grade Spirit Stone to the Daoist.
Although this item was useless to Jiang Zuo, he didn’t mind buying it.
When he came across the Daoist’s stall, not buying something would be like disrespecting him.
And Jiang Zuo always made sure to buy the genuine articles.
