My Wife Is A Sword Immortal-Chapter 123 - 108: Fireworks and Surprises
Chapter 123: Chapter 108: Fireworks and Surprises
Li Shida was deathly afraid Zhao Rong would suddenly say, “I just don’t respect you and the Langxi Qin family.”
Since he had met Zhao Rong the day before,
his constant unorthodox moves had already exhausted him.
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
However, fortunately,
this time Zhao Rong merely declined several times with embarrassment,
before agreeing to accept it “as a last resort.”
However, he kept sighing, “How could I possibly handle this?”
Li Shida had nothing more to say.
Not long after,
the room door was pushed open from the inside.
Su Xiaoxiao, with a purple veil covering her face, slowly stepped out.
“Fairy, how is the situation? Is there a method to treat him?”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t respond to him but glanced at Zhao Rong and walked aside.
Zhao Rong understood, “Brother Li, please wait a moment.”
Having said that, he followed Su Xiaoxiao to a spot under the eaves nearby and listened intently.
Li Shida slightly frowned but didn’t say anything, as he had already experienced the cold demeanor of that “Blue Fairy” before.
Soon, he saw Zhao Rong return and start speaking, which immediately relieved him.
“Brother Li, it can be treated.”
Li Shida licked his lips, his eyes intensely fixed on Zhao Rong, remaining silent because he knew Zhao Rong had more to say.
“However,”
as expected,
“we must prepare a batch of pills, and the ingredients may be quite rare…”
“No problem! Mr. Lin, as long as it can cure Qin Ji, no matter how precious the spiritual medicine, the Langxi Qin family can provide it, and if we don’t have it, we will do everything to find it!”
Zhao Rong raised an eyebrow, “Alright, I will give you the list of ingredients later; send it to the residence where I am currently staying. My wife will start the alchemy tonight, and it should be ready by tomorrow. Come pick it up on time.”
Li Shida nodded happily.
Afterward, Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao left a prescription and arranged a rough time with Li Shida to pick up the pills the next day, then left the Qin residence and returned to their dwelling.
Before evening,
all the rare ingredients listed in the prescription were delivered by the people of the Qin family.
————
That night,
the moonlight was serene.
At the entrance of an alchemy room,
Zhao Rong sat alone on the threshold.
The alchemy room was empty, with only a pill furnace quietly burning inside.
As for the “Blue Fairy” who should have been preparing the pills for Qin Ji,
she was likely sprawled on some soft bed, sound asleep.
Zhao Rong couldn’t help but smile at the thought of that goofy girl.
He turned to look at the pill furnace currently engaged in alchemy, and then turned his gaze toward a certain direction, towards the Qin residence.
“Gui, can we really see the fireworks?”
“You can, as long as Elder Zhao doesn’t die along with them.”
“Don’t you have any other way to let me control the explosion? Waiting passively feels awful; it’s too random.”
“Ha, if Elder Zhao had cultivation above the Vast Realm, I indeed have many ways for you to control the Golden Core explosion. But right now, you lack spiritual energy inside your body, can’t construct runes, and not even at the Fu Yao Realm. Being able to detonate a Golden Core is already quite good.”
Gui thought for a moment and added, “Well, thanks to me.”
“Could you be more humble?”
“Humph, as hypocritical as you scholars?”
“I can’t be bothered to argue with you.”
Gui scoffed.
“Right,” the Sword Spirit suddenly said, “I must emphasize again the conditions for triggering the Golden Core’s self-destruction, you must not get yourself killed in the process.
First, you must keep it warm; once it lacks a heat source and cools down, it will immediately explode.
Also, if you break its wax seal on the surface, exposing the specially processed core inside, it will also detonate immediately.
Those are the two conditions… Hey, are you even listening seriously?”
“I know, I know, you’ve told me hundreds of times already, and there’s no point in saying it now,” Zhao Rong said as he stretched lazily and squinted his eyes.
“Gui, how powerful is the self-detonation of this Golden Core?”
“It’s a Seventh Grade Golden Core, which could nearly flatten the Qin residence. Moreover, the closer you are, the greater the damage. At the core of the explosion, even a Golden Core Realm cultivator would need to be careful not to lose his life,” Gui explained.
Zhao Rong nodded, suddenly feeling eager for tomorrow to come.
The plan had reached its final step.
Tomorrow, all they needed to do was send the “cure-all” Spirit Pill to the Qin residence and find an opportunity for Li Shida to “deliver” Liu Sanbian’s body.
Then, he and Su Xiaoxiao would slip away, oh yes, finding a safe place to hide out and wait for the grand “fireworks”.
Zhao Rong smiled.
As for how to make the naturally suspicious Li Shida “deliver” the body and not be suspicious?
Simple.
Just create the impression that he was very greedy.
Have Li Shida deliver more items, and then bringing up Liu Sanbian’s body wouldn’t seem abrupt.
Zhao Rong went over the plan several times in his mind to ensure no details were overlooked, for now, every step was like walking a tightrope and he had to be extremely cautious.
Suddenly, Zhao Rong’s expression changed.
He thought of Qin Jianfu, who had gone out to seek medicine and hadn’t returned.
He had heard from the Emperor Wei that it would take half a ten-day for Qin Jianfu to return, which, by today’s count, meant about three more days. Yet, he was going to act tomorrow.
But what if Qin Jianfu returned early? Was the Emperor’s word completely reliable?
If Qin Jianfu returned during his actions, not only would the difficulty of his task increase significantly, but there was also the risk of being directly exposed.
Zhao Rong broke out in a cold sweat.
Now, in the scheme he had set up, Qin Jianfu seemed to be the only and biggest unexpected factor.
But the next second,
Zhao Rong felt a sense of relief that he had discovered the loophole earlier, rather than when the actual unexpected event occurred.
He immediately took out the Mountain And River Map of Wangque Continent from the Sumeru Object.
He carefully found the location of the Qingsui Sect and roughly estimated the distance from Great Wei.
After a while, Zhao Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
He was overthinking it; Qin Jianfu couldn’t return in a short time.
Given the vast distance between the Qingsui Sect and Great Wei, and based on his previous experience, even if Qin Jianfu traveled two to three times faster than a mountain ferry, a round trip would take more than half a ten-day.
Zhao Rong got up and returned to his room.
—-
Late at night.
Zhongnan Mountain.
A deep valley at the bottom of a cliff.
A figure in a purple official robe embellished with a goldfish bag stepped out briskly from a cave mansion.
It was Qin Jianfu.
His hair and beard were disheveled, yet his face bore an uncontrollable smile.
“Many thanks to Brother Qi for gifting me the Nine-petal Green Lotus and lending me the Alchemy Room!”
Qin Jianfu said loudly, “I’m in a rush as my son is in a critical state, I can’t thank Brother Qi enough right now, but I will definitely return with a generous reward another day!”
“Don’t worry, Brother Qin hurry and save your nephew,” an elderly voice with a slightly hoarse tone replied from inside the cave mansion.
Qin Jianfu looked down at the Nine Revitalization Pill in his hand, painstakinglycrafted to instantly revive someone on the brink of death, and nodded vehemently.
Previously, he was supposed to go to the Qingsui Sect to seek the most crucial ingredient, a Nine-petal Green Lotus, for alchemy.
However, halfway there, he suddenly remembered that a senior core elder of the Qingsui Sect who wasn’t far from Great Wei might also have a Nine-petal Green Lotus, so he decided to try his luck at Zhongnan Mountain.
Fortunately, Elder Qi of the Qingsui Sect did have it!
With a sweep of his large sleeve, Qin Jianfu soared upwards, casting a casual glance at the Zhongnan Mountain’s cliff, which no longer bore the inscription “Peaceful and Actionless.”
The next moment,
He transformed into a beam of light, vanishing into the sky.
The pill retrieval this time took much less time than anticipated, allowing him to return to Liangjing several days earlier.
Moreover, to prevent any mishaps, he had previously sent a Communication Flying Sword back to inform Li Shida of his impending return.
Now, traveling at full speed, he should arrive in Liangjing just slightly after the Communication Flying Sword.
With this thought,
Qin Jianfu felt a slight easing in his heart.
