Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 99: Hidden Worries

Qingyun Mansion, Erhai Lake.

In the sea, there is a perfectly exquisite and beautiful body swimming gracefully, like a mermaid, creating a magnificent seascape.

When Lutian Xiang flew out, the waves shimmered, and her important parts were all covered, but her crystal jade feet, snow-white slender legs, slender waist that could be held with one hand, fair swan-like neck, and her beautiful appearance were bathed in sunlight.

She walked barefoot on the surface of Erhai Lake, and each step she took did not create the slightest ripple, but the sea reflected her enchanting figure that made one's blood boil.

It can be seen that there is a halo behind her head, which has completely solidified after this period of consolidation.

Lutian Xiang walked to the shore, and piece by piece, her clothes flew to her and dressed her perfect body.

In an instant, her originally alluring figure became sacred, noble, and untouchable.

Then, Lutian Xiang's figure disappeared from Erhai Lake and appeared in the main hall of the Diancang Sect. Diancang Zhenren had been waiting for her for a long time.

Lutian Xiang looked over, and Diancang Zhenren immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet her gaze. She said lightly, "Have you found it?"

After returning to the Diancang Sect, she entrusted the task of finding the little cultivator who took the Rebirth Pill to Diancang Zhenren, asking him to mobilize the power of the Diancang Sect to investigate.

Of course, she didn't tell Diancang Zhenren about the Rebirth Pill, she just said she wanted to find that person.

It has been quite some time now, and Lutian Xiang wanted to know the results.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, after my subordinates conducted various investigations, we have roughly determined the identity of that cultivator." Diancang Zhenren immediately said respectfully.

"Continue." Lutian Xiang felt a sense of joy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

"The person the Sect Master is looking for should be a Sea Opening Realm cultivator named Qiu Xuan in the Fenglei Mansion City. Only his appearance, strength, and traces match the description given by the Sect Master."

"My subordinates have also purchased information about this person from the Heavenly Secrets Tower, confirming his whereabouts. During the time mentioned by the Sect Master, this person was indeed in Yangping County of the Dingyuan Mansion." Diancang Zhenren continued to respond with a pious and respectful tone.

Lutian Xiang nodded slightly and asked, "Has the person been brought back?"

"I am incompetent." Diancang Zhenren bowed deeply, feeling extremely ashamed for not completing Lutian Xiang's task.

"What happened?"

Lutian Xiang frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. Diancang Zhenren was a Soul Refining Realm cultivator, yet he couldn't bring back a mere Sea Opening Realm cultivator.

Could it be that Qiu Xuan handed over the Rebirth Pill to some major power in exchange for protection and various cultivation resources?

If that was the case, it would be really troublesome. Tianxuan Mountain, Xijian Pool, and Zhenyang Sect were just a bit troublesome, but without a Grandmaster sitting in, she couldn't forcefully snatch it.

She could still dare to steal from the Hehuan Sect, as long as she didn't encounter the three elders of the Yin and Yang Sect.

If it was handed over to the Great Qian Dynasty, even if she was unwilling, she could only give up. The Rebirth Pill would definitely end up in the hands of King Wu'an for safekeeping.

Even if she had a hundred times more courage, she wouldn't dare to snatch the Rebirth Pill from King Wu'an. There was a great possibility that she would be killed by King Wu'an with a single punch.

"Qiu Xuan died more than ten years ago." Diancang Zhenren smiled bitterly.

Upon hearing this, Lutian Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "He died? How did he die? Did he have any wives, concubines, or descendants? If so, where are they now?"

"After my subordinates found this news, I immediately came to report it to the Sect Master." Diancang Zhenren lowered his head deeply, feeling even more ashamed.

"Useless."

Lutian Xiang scolded, saying indifferently, "Find out the situation as soon as possible, otherwise, I will question your usefulness."

"Yes, I will go and handle it immediately."

Master Dian Cang immediately left to continue investigating the relevant intelligence.

"Hu~"

Looking at the empty main hall, Lu Tianxiang's mood was complicated.

Qiu Xuan is dead, so who has the Rebirth Pill now?

Did Qiu Xuan hide it for his descendants, or did other cultivators intercept Qiu Xuan and unintentionally obtain the formula for the Rebirth Pill?

Every speculation is possible, and Lu Tianxiang is also unsure of the situation. She only hopes that it is not the worst-case scenario. As long as it is not in the hands of the Great Qian Dynasty, she still has a chance.

Sighing, Lu Tianxiang's figure disappeared from the main hall.

Qingzhou, Canghai Sect.

A mountain peak tens of thousands of zhang high, like a heavenly sword piercing the clouds. Jiang Baiye was on the mountaintop, reaching out to touch the sea of clouds.

She was still dressed in a palace-style white dress, carrying a divine sword, her silver hair fluttering. The gentle breeze from the sea of clouds gently caressed her, outlining a perfect figure between heaven and earth.

On her beautiful face, with delicate eyebrows and white teeth, her features were exquisite and beautiful, truly as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal, like a female sword immortal overlooking the mortal world.

Her figure was tall, with slender shoulders, a slender waist, beautiful legs, and a jaw-dropping perfect S-shaped curve. Every part of her body was beautiful, captivating every onlooker.

In terms of figure, she was impeccable, not inferior to anyone. The description of "graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a wandering dragon" couldn't be more appropriate.

At this moment, Jiang Baiye sat on a giant white jade stone, arms crossed, legs swinging in the air. But her mind kept replaying some images that made her extremely embarrassed.

Her snow-white and delicate arms were crossed in front of her, and the cold breeze blew through her silver hair, flowing between her perfect figure, as if the wind was also infatuated with such a beauty, carefully caressing her.

"Ah~"

After a long time, Jiang Baiye calmed her emotions and thought about recent events within the sect, sighing deeply.

Everything that man did to her was unforgettable for Jiang Baiye. She thought she would hate him very much, and at first, she did. Jiang Baiye was itching with anger.

But as the number of times she thought about it increased, she unknowingly developed a strange feeling in her heart. He was the first man to do such a wicked thing to her, defiling her, the renowned Sword Immortal in the Three Provinces.

Jiang Baiye often wondered if she could really retrieve the Body Nurturing Furnace fifty years later. She lacked confidence in her own strength and could only believe that the man would keep his promise.

And recent events made Jiang Baiye feel uneasy. Can the sect really hold on until fifty years later?

Canghai Sect claimed to have retrieved the Body Nurturing Furnace several years ago, but it has not been used in these years. The official explanation is that the accumulated high-grade spiritual liquid in the furnace has been exhausted by thieves and needs to be replenished before the furnace can be opened.

Most disciples of Canghai Sect believe this and think that the sect has really retrieved the Body Nurturing Furnace. However, there are doubts from the outside world, believing that Canghai Sect has not actually retrieved the furnace, and what they have now is a fake, but they have no evidence.

As a result, some forces that were already at odds with Canghai Sect began to stir. One of the major forces is the Extreme Wind Hall in Luzhou.

Extreme Wind Hall is also one of the top ten sects in the Great Qian Dynasty, ranking one place higher than Canghai Sect. The sect leader is a mid-level Grandmaster in the Myriad Manifestations Realm, not inferior to the sect leader of Canghai Sect in terms of strength.

Extreme Wind Hall did not personally take action, but it instigated several other forces in Qingzhou to test Canghai Sect. If it is discovered that Canghai Sect has not retrieved the Body Nurturing Furnace, then Extreme Wind Hall will take action.

The other forces in Qingzhou also want to know the truth. If it is true, they naturally dare not act recklessly. If it is false, they may join forces with Extreme Wind Hall to target Canghai Sect.

If Canghai Sect is gone, the power vacuum left by Canghai Sect will be divided among the other forces, which is a great temptation.

Since the loss of the Body Nurturing Furnace, Extreme Wind Hall and the other forces in Qingzhou have been pressuring Canghai Sect, making it impossible for the sect to spare any strong cultivators to search for the furnace.

After claiming to have retrieved the Body Nurturing Furnace, Canghai Sect enjoyed a period of stability, but recently, the other major forces have been making small moves.
