The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter "1174"

<h1text-align:" center"=""><spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chapter 1174: Preparations

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before long, the pillar in front of Shuang Jiang lit up, and a jade slip emerged from it, radiating a strong spiritual aura.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang then placed a high-grade magical artifact inside the pillar.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen noticed that the artifact she offered was of an extremely high level - most likely at the Immortal Lord tier!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As far as Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang were concerned, an Immortal Lord tier artifact was nothing significant at this point.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, the fact that a single piece of intelligence required such a high-level artifact was astonishing.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, the Information Pavilion could sell the same information countless times. It seemed like the Information Pavilion was making money far too easily.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After obtaining the jade slip, Shuang Jiang casually scanned it before handing it to Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Curious, Su Jingzhen probed it with his divine consciousness.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The information inside was indeed about the Nethersea and Death Mountain.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The details about the Nethersea were comprehensive, such as the locations of certain deep-sea demonic beasts, areas with soul-devouring miasmas that could kill even immortal kings, and the unique resources found in specific regions.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Regarding Death Mountain, however, the information was limited to its location.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The details of what lay within were not revealed, as even Immortal Emperors who ventured inside rarely survived, and those who did never shared their experiences.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even with an Immortal Emperor stationed at the Information Pavilion, they couldn't possibly have detailed knowledge of Death Mountain.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After leaving the Information Pavilion, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang went to another building.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The plaque above its entrance read: Treasure Gathering Pavilion!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Nethersea City, Su Jingzhen was momentarily stunned before he sighed in admiration.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Wherever there were cultivators, there was a Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This saying held even more weight now, as before, Su Jingzhen had only encountered the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in the cultivation world.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But here it was, in the Emperor's Realm!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He was truly shocked - this was a true behemoth that spanned two realms!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"You have seen the jade slip. To make our journey into the Nethersea easier, we'll need to prepare a few things," Shuang Jiang said. This content belongs to novel fire.net

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen nodded. The primary purpose of Nethersea City's existence was to provide necessary supplies for cultivators venturing into Nethersea.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before visiting the information pavilion, Su Jingzhen was completely in the dark.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But after obtaining the detailed information, he understood that the greatest danger in the Nethersea came from the countless wandering souls.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without proper protection, cultivators of all levels would be relentlessly pursued by these souls.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although most of these souls were weak, their sheer numbers were overwhelming.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, within the Nethersea and on Death Mountain, there were souls powerful enough to rival Immortal Emperors.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Most unprepared cultivators who entered the Nethersea met their end at the hands of these souls, eventually becoming new souls themselves, trapped in the Nethersea forever.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon entering the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Su Jingzhen found that its interior was no different from the ones he had visited before.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Dozens of counters were busy with transactions, and like other branches, this Treasure Gathering Pavilion also had a second floor.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The staircase leading to it was protected by a barrier, but this one seemed far more formidable than any Su Jingzhen had encountered before.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Ordinary cultivators would never have the privilege to ascend.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As the two of them made their way to the stairs, many in the queue cast curious glances in their direction.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Who are these important people? The Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Nethersea City isn't like ordinary ones."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Even though Nethersea City is small, it's close to the Nethersea. It's not surprising to see powerful figures here. Let's just focus on our own business."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Under the curious eyes of the crowd, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang climbed up to the second floor without any problems.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As a high-level Immortal Emperor, Shuang Jiang naturally had no problems.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As for Su Jingzhen, he still carried the token given to him by Shui Linglong back in Dan City.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Dan City, home to the Divine Dan Sect, was one of the most prominent cities in both the Emperor's Realm and the cultivation world.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As the manager there, Shui Linglong held a high position within the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her token granted Su Jingzhen access to the second floor of any Treasure Gathering Pavilion, no matter where he went.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even in the dark-themed Nethersea City, the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion was as quiet as ever.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, instead of being greeted by a beautiful attendant, they were greeted by a portly old man.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The aura faintly emanating from him indicated that he was also an Immortal Emperor, which left Su Jingzhen inwardly shocked.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Young friend Su Jingzhen, the one who has made waves in both the cultivation world and the Emperor's realm. What an honor to have you here."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It wasn't surprising that the old man recognized Su Jingzhen. When ascending to the second floor, Su Jingzhen had presented his token, which contained his information.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I've heard Linglong mention Young Friend Su several times recently. I never expected to meet you in person here in this remote Nethersea City."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen nodded slightly in greeting.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Given his current status and the fact that he was accompanied by Shuang Jiang, he didn't need to show excessive deference, even to an Immortal Emperor.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then the old man turned his gaze to Shuang Jiang.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her aura was concealed, and her face seemed to be obscured. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He couldn't make out her exact appearance, which shocked him even more.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, he was a fifth-tier Immortal Emperor.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The only explanation for this was that the woman before him was even more powerful than he. This realization made him treat her with the utmost respect.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang didn't bother to hide her identity. She released a hint of her unique icy aura, and the old man understood immediately.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"So it's the hall master of the Extreme Ice Hall. This old man is Jin Congfu. I apologize for not welcoming you properly earlier."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang's recent feat in Sword Land, where she nearly killed Wu Lingtian and the Hunchbacked Immortal while fighting two against one, had already spread among the Immortal Emperor circles.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the eyes of all the Immortal Emperors, Shuang Jiang was now on par with legendary figures like the Sword Master.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She had earned the title of Peerless in Battle.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen was surprised. Upon recognizing Shuang Jiang, the old man had immediately revealed his name. Clearly, there was a difference in treatment.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Distinguished guests, what brings you to the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Nethersea City today?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After the initial shock, Jin Congfu got down to business. As he spoke, he led them to an extravagantly decorated private room.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang didn't waste any time: "We're planning to enter the Nethersea and may venture as far as Death Mountain. I need at least half of your Treasure Gathering Pavilion's stock of Nethersea Spirit Liquid and Soul-Repelling Talismans. And I want the highest quality available."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Nethersea Spirit Liquid and Soul-Repelling Talismans were essential items for anyone entering the Nethersea.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Nethersea Spirit Liquid could conceal one's aura, making it undetectable to the souls in the Nethersea.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was extracted from the souls of the Nethersea itself, but its effects were temporary, which was why a large quantity was needed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The soul-repelling talismans, as the name suggests, were specifically designed to repel souls. With these two items, traversing Nethersea would be much easier.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Hearing this, Jin Congfu was momentarily stunned before he smiled and said, "In Nethersea City's Treasure Gathering Pavilion, aside from these two items, hardly anything else sells well. Our inventory is huge. Are you sure that you can take half of it?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang smiled. "That's why I'll leave you the other half."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Jin Congfu nodded. A moment later, a ripple of energy emanated from him, and two maids entered the room, each carrying a tray.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">On the trays were two high-quality storage rings.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"These contain the Nethersea Spirit Liquid and Soul-Repelling Talismans you requested. They represent about half of our current supply. Even with continuous use, they should last you both about a year."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Jin Congfu handed the rings directly to Shuang Jiang.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Whatever your purpose in the Nethersea, consider this a contribution from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. I wish you both success."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Both Shuang Jiang and Su Jingzhen were slightly taken aback.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, Shuang Jiang shook her head and left behind an Immortal King tier artifact before departing with Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They understood that Jin Congfu was trying to establish a connection, but at their level, they knew that it was best to avoid unnecessary karma.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Interesting. I never expected the infamous Su Jingzhen to travel with the Hall Master of the Extreme Ice Hall.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">What could they be planning in the Nethersea? This isn't a place for ordinary people.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">No matter how influential one is in the Emperor's Realm or the cultivation world, those connections mean little here."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After a moment of thought, Jin Congfu chuckled. "Maybe I should send a message to Linglong."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">...

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Was there something wrong with that old man?" Su Jingzhen asked Shuang Jiang after they left the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang shook her head.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Remember what I told you in Linjiang City? The reputation of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion is quite good among those with status and power.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">We have no complaints against them, and this was a normal transaction. What could possibly go wrong?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As she spoke, Shuang Jiang handed a storage ring to Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She had already divided the Nethersea Spirit Liquid and Soul-Repelling Talismans between them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Nethersea City was already within the energy field of Nethersea.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sunlight couldn't penetrate here, and the environment remained eternally dim. Without further delay, the two of them made their way to the outermost shore of the city.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Looking out, the Nethersea was shrouded in thick fog.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Within the mist, Su Jingzhen occasionally caught a glimpse of pairs of crimson eyes - the wandering souls of the Nethersea.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">These were the souls of those cultivators who had ventured into the Nethersea and perished. Over the course of countless years, their number had increased to an unimaginable extent.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At that moment, Su Jingzhen noticed a massive black ship emerging from the depths of the Nethersea, slowly making its way toward the coast.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The ship exuded a mysterious aura. Seeing it, many cultivators on the shore began to gather near the docking area.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shuang Jiang said, "Let's go. The ferry has arrived."
