Chapter 586 - 586: Post-War Affairs, Su Qingchan’s Visit (2)
It was natural for failures to occur in cultivation.
As for Shen Baifei, his early years of numerous conflicts had resulted in many hidden injuries, compromising his physical condition.
His age, declining vitality, mental state, and the strength of his spiritual energy made it difficult for him to reach the peak state required for a successful breakthrough.
Even with life-extending elixirs, it was hard to compensate for certain deficiencies.
Of course.
The most important factor, however, was the lack of opportunity.
It’s worth noting that Shen Yuanlong was in an even worse state than him back then.
However, in the end, he succeeded in forming the core.
What did this mean?
This demonstrated that Shen Yuanyong’s fortune and opportunities far surpassed Shen Baifei’s, compensating for his shortcomings.
The elusive nature of fate and opportunity made it impossible to predict outcomes until the very last step.
It was a matter of destiny
After discussing various other matters, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, a few days later, visited the Shen family to see Shen Rushuang and Shen Baifei.
After that.
They personally went to the Ganyang Sect and delivered the Nascent Soul Cultivation Pill and the Nascent Soul Condensation Pill to Zheng Pelong.
At this moment, Zheng Pelong’s cultivation had already reached the ninth level of Golden Core.
However, according to him, he did not have much confidence in breaking through to Nascent Soul.
Treasures like the Nascent Soul Cultivation Pill and the Nascent Soul Condensation Pill would only be wasted in his hands.
However, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan still insisted on giving him the treasures out of gratitude.
It was for no other reason than the fact that Zheng Pelong had once protected them.
When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan returned to the Jiang family,
The family head, Jiang Renyi, immediately came over and reported everything he was dealing with to the two of them.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan nodded approvingly.
“Keep up the good work.
If there’s anything you’re not sure of, you can tell us.”
Suddenly, the couple sensed something and turned their gaze towards the sky.
There.
A graceful figure was swiftly approaching their place.
Recognizing the visitor, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan smiled.
Shen Ruyan commented, “Husband, it looks like we will finally obtain what we have been waiting for.”
“Yeah.”
Jiang Chengxuan also smiled and nodded.
“Let’s go. It’s rare for an esteemed guest to come. Let’s take the initiative to go out and welcome her.”
After instructing Jiang Renyi about some matters, he and Shen Ruyan went out to meet their guest.
The visitor was Su Qingchan, their comrade during the demon calamity battle and now the Grand Elder of Everlasting Palace, as well as the direct disciple of Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain.
As Su Qingchan saw Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan approaching, she slowed down her flight and greeted them with a smile and a fist salute.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, long time no see. How have you been?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan returned the salute, smiling, “Thanks to Fairy Su’s well wishes, we’ve been quite well. Why don’t you join us at our home for a while?”
Hearing this, Su Qingchan did not refuse. She immediately smiled and nodded.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony. Sorry to disturb the two of you.”
As they spoke, the three of them descended at the same time. Then, under the guidance of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, they arrived at their guest hall.
After a disciple of the Jiang family served the spiritual tea and left, Su Qingchan took out a letter and handed it to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“This is a recommendation letter personally written by my Shifu.
With this letter, you can directly enter the Sunset Secret Realm in the eastern end, and you won’t have to hand over 30% of your gains usually required upon exiting the realm.”
Long before the battle of the demonic calamity, Jiang Chengxuan had exchanged information about the whereabouts of the Wood Earth Ganoderma from Pei Daoqi of the Mingzhen Sect.
It was in the Sunset Secret Realm of the eastern end.
This realm, managed by various Soul Formation forces of the eastern end, opened once every three hundred years, and outsiders had to pay a hefty price to enter.
Additionally, they were required to hand over 30% of their gains upon leaving, unless they had a recommendation letter.
After the battle of the demonic calamity, Su Qingchan remembered that Jiang Chengxuan and the others might need it, so she took the initiative to promise them that her Shifu, Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain, might be able to help.
Now was the time for her to fulfill her promise to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Looking at the recommendation letter, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but look happy.
Jiang Chengxuan immediately reached out to take the recommendation letter and said gratefully,
“Thank you, Fairy Su, for asking Senior Everlasting Mountain for this.
I’ll have to trouble Fairy Su to thank Senior Everlasting Mountain for us later.”
“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you’re too polite..”
