The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 817: Reaching a Cooperation

If it were just a few or even a dozen marks, someone like Li Tieshan might not have paid much attention to it.

But this was a whopping forty plus marks!

Their entire day’s hard work was less than a tenth of what Su Jingzhen and his group had managed to gather.

For them, it was truly a source of great discontent.

As Li Tieshan finished speaking, the many Divine Fist Sect disciples behind him also raised their auras.

Their auras firmly locked onto Su Jingzhen and his entire group.

“The Four Waters Martial Arts Competition has a long time left, and if the marks are gone, they can be found again. But if your life is lost, then there’s really nothing left.

Maybe Miss Qiu and Mr. Su should reconsider.”

Li Tieshan spoke to Su Jingzhen and his group once more, his tone still filled with humility.

There was no hint of killing intent.

“Yan Xia, with your current cultivation and the protection of the Purple and Gold Longevity Pagoda, ordinary Tribulation Realm cultivators shouldn’t be a threat to you, right?”

Su Jingzhen asked Yan Xia.

The latter nodded confidently, “As long as the Celestial Being Realm doesn’t intervene, no one can do anything to us within the Purple and Gold Longevity Pagoda.

Master, please feel free to fight. I will take care of Xuening, and there will be no accidents.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen nodded in relief and then looked at Qiu Yaoyao.

“Just like before with Dongxuan Academy, Li Tieshan is mine, the rest is yours.”

Qiu Yaoyao said to Su Jingzhen, and Su Jingzhen nodded in agreement.

This division seemed reasonable.

Feeling the intense fighting spirit from the two, Li Tieshan and his group frowned slightly.

“It seems like Miss Qiu and Mr. Su are determined to go to extremes. It’s a pity. The Four Waters Martial Arts Competition has just begun, and it’s already over for you.”

Li Tieshan’s face showed a look of regret.

Instantly, a pair of crimson-colored boxing gloves appeared in his hands.

The gloves emitted a tremendous aura.

Obviously, they were an extraordinary divine artifact.

After putting on the gloves, Li Tieshan’s aura suddenly became sharp.

The battle seemed to be about to break out.

At that moment, a streak of light quickly approached from the distance.

“Li Tieshan, do you want to die?”

Upon hearing this voice, Su Jingzhen and his group were stunned.

Li Tieshan and the others from Divine Fist Sect’s expressions changed drastically.

The next moment, a tall figure appeared on the scene.

It was none other than Jian Ling, who exuded a sharp aura.

“Who gave you permission to intercept my friends here?”

Jian Ling’s beautiful face showed a hint of anger.

A faint killing intent even emerged from her.

Seeing this, Li Tieshan was stunned, then filled with fear.

They were all from the Ling River region, and Li Tieshan knew all too well how formidable Jian Ling was.

“Senior Sister Jian Ling, this… this is just a misunderstanding. I… I didn’t know that they were your friends.”

Jian Ling was naturally domineering and proud, holding absolute authority among the younger generation in the Ling River region.

Even someone as strong as Li Tieshan was far inferior to her.

His speech even stuttered.

Jian Ling didn’t want to listen to Li Tieshan’s explanations.

Coldly, she said, “If I see you disrespecting my friends again, then your Divine Fist Sect can just leave the competition.

Get out!”

With the last word, Li Tieshan quickly put his fists away.

He led the few members of the Divine Fist Sect and left the scene at the fastest speed.

At this point, not to mention the over forty Divine Source Marks, even if genuine Divine Sources were placed here, they wouldn’t dare to compete for them.

Jian Ling was the eternal despair that weighed on the hearts of all the young talents in the Ling River region.

After Li Tieshan and his group left, Su Jingzhen and the other three exchanged glances.

Their eyes showed some confusion, but their hearts became even more solemn.

Although Jian Ling had shown Su Jingzhen great kindness during the Banquet of Elegance, they now had over forty Divine Source Marks.

And it was clear to anyone that they had a special method to find these divine sources in the secret realm of divine sources.

If Jian Ling harbored greed because of this, it would be extremely normal.

Now, although Qiu Yaoyao had broken through to the Celestial Being Realm, Su Jingzhen’s own strength was also not to be underestimated.

However, facing someone like Jian Ling, they still lacked a lot of confidence.

After all, Jian Ling and Xuan Jin were likely to have true cultivation levels that surpassed the Celestial Being Realm, reaching the Great Perfection Realm.

If it were within the same realm, even at the late stage of the Celestial Being Realm, like the previous Zhen Bufan, Su Jingzhen and his group wouldn’t have paid much attention to it.

But if she had reached the Great Perfection Realm, Su Jingzhen wasn’t sure if he could match her even after using ten thousand points.

In Su Jingzhen’s imagination, encountering someone like Jian Ling was inevitable, but it shouldn’t have happened on the second day.

Seeing the solemnity on the faces of Su Jingzhen and the others, Jian Ling’s sharp aura softened a bit.

She revealed a gentle smile.

“Mr. Su, Miss Qiu, there’s no need to be nervous. I came here with no malicious intent.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen and his group relaxed slightly.

At Jian Ling’s cultivation level, it was unlikely that she would engage in meaningless jokes or deceive others.

Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao both clasped their fists out of respect for Jian Ling.

If Jian Ling hadn’t arrived, a battle with Li Tieshan and his group would have been inevitable.

Although Su Jingzhen and his group were not afraid, it still would have been a hassle.

Before Su Jingzhen and his group could say anything, Jian Ling continued, “During the Banquet of Elegance, I gave Mr. Su a token expressing my willingness to cooperate with you in the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition.

I have come here today to formally request your cooperation.”

Jian Ling spoke with true sincerity.

Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao frowned slightly.

It was natural for everyone to think that Jian Ling had come because of the divine resources they had obtained.

In fact, Su Jingzhen and his group thought so.

Knowing that Su Jingzhen and his group had concerns, Jian Ling didn’t mind and smiled again.

“I understand that you must have had a fortuitous encounter on the first day and received a considerable amount of divine resources. Actually, I am not here for the divine sources.

While they are useful to someone at my level, their usefulness is no longer particularly significant.”

She paused and continued, “Although I don’t know why your group’s aura can be sensed by everyone this time, it’s not a good thing for you.

With your strength, you might not be afraid of ordinary teams, but if you collect more Divine Source Marks, many teams will inevitably join forces.

If more than four Celestial Being Realm cultivators join hands, you may find it difficult to cope.

With me here, you don’t have to worry about that. Even if Xuan Jin comes himself, he won’t be able to do anything to us.

And rest assured, Mr. Su, even if you continue to obtain numerous divine resources, I will only take what I am entitled to after contributing my efforts. How about it?”

Jian Ling’s words were still extremely sincere.

The proposed cooperation was indeed very reasonable.

It was even beneficial to Su Jingzhen and his group without any drawbacks.

Jian Ling’s status was such that any faction in the Four Water Region would have first-hand information about her and would be extremely wary.

With her presence, their journey to find the divine sources would indeed be much easier.

However, Su Jingzhen still had some doubts in his heart.

If Fairy Xuan Su showed kindness to them at the Banquet of Elegance because of Ning Yao’s relationship, and Han Qianxue did so because of the Great Desolate Creation Palm, then what was Jian Ling’s reason? It remained unclear.

Su Jingzhen asked directly, “Given Miss Jian Ling’s status and strength, even as a lone ranger, you would be an unstoppable force.

I can’t understand why you’re doing this.”

He didn’t want to speculate, nor could he believe that Jian Ling had fallen for him at first sight.

If Jian Ling could answer this doubt, then cooperation might not be impossible.

After hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Yan Xia, Xuening, and Qiu Yaoyao were also curious.

They also wanted to know the answer. Jian Ling smiled.

“Mr. Su, can we talk privately for a moment?”

Su Jingzhen frowned again, but understood that this might require some privacy.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and followed Jian Ling to a distance of one hundred zhang away.

Jian Ling didn’t hesitate either. Her aura surged, and a small sword materialized in her palm.

The sword intent emanating from it was extremely sacred. When Su Jingzhen felt this sword intent, he was stunned and immediately understood.

The sword intent manifested by Jian Ling was identical to the one he had obtained in the Clear Wind Mountain.

Originally, this was a imprint captured by Shuang Jiang and implanted into his Sea of Consciousness as a temporary pass to enter the secret land.

Later, after Bai Suzhen was resurrected, the sword qi inside was completely absorbed by him and occasionally used in battle.

As his strength grew and he obtained the Great Desolate Creation Palm, the usage of this sword intent became less frequent.

He hadn’t expected Jian Ling to have noticed it because of this.

Seeing the change in Su Jingzhen’s expression, Jian Ling’s eyes showed a hint of joy.

“Mr. Su, you must have fully mastered this sword intent, right?

To be honest, I accidentally obtained some fragments from an ancient site, but this sword intent is extremely advanced. If I can comprehend it, it might allow me to reach a higher realm.

This time I propose cooperation with Mr. Su in the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition. I won’t ask for anything, but after it ends, if you achieve a satisfactory ranking, I hope you can share the sword intent you have mastered with me.

I would be very grateful.”

Jian Ling’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Su Jingzhen was stunned once again.

This sword intent had cut Bai Suzhen into two pieces and sealed her in the secret land.

Zhang Xiu’s departure also seemed to be related to this sword intent.

Later, it appeared in the ancient sword sect of the Luo River Region, which had declined.

And Jian Ling had obtained it from a secret realm in the Ling River region.

The master of this sword intent seemed to involve too many factions and levels, making it increasingly mysterious.

However, since Jian Ling had a purpose, it made people feel more at ease.

Although this sword intent was extremely advanced, Su Jingzhen didn’t use swords, so exchanging it for a powerful ally was something he wouldn’t mind.

He immediately extended his right hand to Jian Ling, “Then let’s happily cooperate!”

Su Jingzhen also smiled sincerely.

Jian Ling was a bit surprised, not expecting it to be so smooth.

Then she extended her right hand and lightly shook Su Jingzhen’s hand.

In the next instant, a surge of spiritual energy emerged from Su Jingzhen’s sea of consciousness.

A complete copy of the advanced sword intent he had obtained was handed over to Jian Ling.

“Here is my complete understanding of this sword intent, as well as its original form when I obatained it.

If it can help Miss Jian Ling, I would be honored.”

“Mr. Su, you…”

This time, it was Jian Ling who was stunned.

She hadn’t expected Su Jingzhen to give her such an advanced sword intent so easily.

No one understood better than a swordsman what this sword intent represented.

For them, it was priceless.

“Mr. Su, don’t you understand the value of this sword intent? You’re giving it to me like this, aren’t you afraid that I won’t fulfill the previous agreement?

After all, we only made a verbal agreement and didn’t swear by the Heavenly Dao.”

Jian Ling didn’t immediately absorb the sword intent, but looked at Su Jingzhen.

Su Jingzhen smiled, “There’s a saying in my hometown: ‘Don’t use someone you doubt, and don’t doubt someone you use.’ Since Miss Jian Ling is sincere in making friends with me, of course I can’t be petty.

Being honest and sincere is the way to treat friends.”

Sincerity is always the most powerful weapon.

This saying worked just as well for Jian Ling.

As a pure swordsman, her Dao heart was extremely straightforward.

Looking at Su Jingzhen now, Jian Ling’s eyes showed more appreciation.

Without hesitation, she completely absorbed the sword intent, her heart filled with excitement.

“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”

With just a few words, the cooperation was directly established.

With the addition of Jian Ling, the strength of their five-man team more than doubled.

Soon after, Su Jingzhen brought Jian Ling back to Qiu Yaoyao and the others, and they reintroduced themselves.

Although Su Jingzhen did not explicitly tell Qiu Yaoyao and the others how the cooperation was reached, it did not affect their trust in Jian Ling.

“Xuening, where is the next Divine Source?”

Since they were a team now, Su Jingzhen didn’t hold back and asked Xuening directly in front of Jian Ling.

“Northwest!

I can sense several Divine Source fluctuations there.”

Upon hearing Xuening’s answer, Jian Ling’s expression showed a hint of shock.

“What does this mean?”

Su Jingzhen and his group didn’t hide anything from her.

“Xuening has fused with a Guiding Divine Flower, so she can sense the exact locations of Divine Sources in the Secret Realm of Divine Sources.

That is why we were able to collect over forty divine sources on the first day.”

Jian Ling:…

Jian Ling felt a slight pang of regret.

She regretted bragging so much in front of Su Jingzhen.

With Xuening’s ability, the amount of divine resources they could obtain would be immense.

Saying that she could take nothing was a huge loss.
