Su Yuanyuan is now communicating with the Immortal Sword’s Divine Sense, and the artifact spirit with the sweet girl’s voice is crying all the time.

Su Yuanyuan feels a headache from all the crying.

"Alright, you’re just too annoying like this."

"I knew it, I knew it, you must be annoyed with me."

"Stop crying. If you want to follow me, that’s fine, but you must hide yourself, disguise as a magic artifact, so even the one with the highest cultivation in this realm cannot see through you. Only then can I take you along."

"Fine, fine, I’ll hide, okay?" Xiao Shui always wanted to tell its owner, but now she doesn’t remember anything. It’s been millions of years in the Immortal World, and now really cannot say anything.

After recognizing its owner, Su Yuanyuan opened her eyes, and the Immortal Sword had already turned into an ordinary magic artifact.

"Yuanyuan, what’s going on?"

"I’ve asked it to hide. I’m not bold enough to wander around carrying an Immortal Artifact.

Predecessor, can you see through it?"

Chen Xue Man spoke up after a while, "I can’t see anything unusual. My Divine Sense is still in the later stage of incarnation. Can’t tell any difference with this sword."

Now, Su Yuanyuan was satisfied. Xiao Shui sniffled and muttered sadly because it felt unbelieved.

Su Yuanyuan blocked out its crying. It’s too annoying. Even her five kids weren’t this bothersome.

Now Tan Shaoting was relieved. This way, his wife could use the Immortal Sword as she pleased.

"Wife, you should give the Immortal Sword a name."

Now Xiao Shui was nervous, it can agree not to accompany its owner through Reincarnation Tribulation, just hoping the owner doesn’t give it that name again.

Su Yuanyuan thought for a moment, the Immortal Sword’s artifact spirit is a girl, and a crying girl at that.

"Let’s call it Xiao Shui then."

Xiao Shui’s shoulders slumped in disappointment, still the same name. It hadn’t introduced itself, hoping for a more domineering name. How did it circle back to this one? Is it fate, or is the owner just so irresponsible?

"Xiao Shui?"

"Yes, simple and easy to remember and call."

Tan Shaoting didn’t say anything now. As long as his wife was happy, it was fine.

"Alright, I’ve advanced. You take care of Qi Hao and Qi Xuan."

He had been holding back just to reassure Tan Shaoting, now that he knew, he too felt at ease.

Su Yuanyuan threw herself into the Spirit Gathering Array using all top-grade Spirit Stones.

Chen Xue Man sighed, this junior’s luck was sky-high. Not an ordinary person at all.

It’s like all the good things in the world were hers alone.

Su Yuanyuan’s advancement was very fast, taking only two days, now she’s already a Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer cultivator, surely a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The top-grade Spirit Stones used in the Spirit Gathering Array turned to dust. Su Yuanyuan sighed, her little advancement used three thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

She put aside the soul nourishing wood and went alone into the space to freshen up.

When she came out, Qi Hao and Qi Xuan clung to her and wouldn’t let go.

They had been here for four days now, and who knows how Liu Xiaozhu and the others were doing.

Tan Shaoting still sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman, after a while, it flew back, now Liu Xiaozhu was also in this mountain range.

He gathered everyone at the place the Flying Boat first landed.

Three hours later, this time the ten cultivators boarded the Flying Boat again and set off.

"You ten must remember, do not tell anyone you’ve seen the Demon Cultivator or the Independent Practitioner Alliance’s Second Elder."

None of them were fools, all nodded, understanding that if they carelessly spoke out, there might be life-threatening danger.

Xu Ying approached Su Yuanyuan. "Junior Sister Su, congratulations on your advancement."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, thanking Xu Ying.

She originally wanted to hide her cultivation, but considering the need to participate in the arena match, there’s no point in hiding it.

"Junior Sister Su, advancing at a moment of life and death, I truly envy your mindset. I’ve passed these days like years, couldn’t cultivate at all."

"Senior Sister Xu, you’re just frightened, you don’t know it suddenly feels like an advancement opportunity."

"Too envious of you. Now you’re also a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, strive to reach the seventh layer in two years, that way you’ll have more certainty for the sect’s selection competition."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Xu, for your good words."

Now the Flying Boat’s speed needs to increase since there are still two months until the wedding banquet, don’t know if the Independent Practitioner Alliance has the mood to organize it.

This time the Second Elder brought over so many top-grade Spirit Stones, don’t know if it affected the Independent Practitioner Alliance.

Next Flying Boat trip is still Tan Shaoting’s responsibility, so Su Yuanyuan took Qi Hao and Qi Xuan to learn about arrays.

When tired, she had them carve with an ordinary engraving knife on ordinary wood, also to familiarize them.

Xu Ying was truly envious, and increasingly jealous.

"Junior Sister Su, I want to have a child."

Su Yuanyuan laughed, "Senior Sister Xu, having kids around is quite interesting."

Xu Ying sighed, "Is it just a matter of saying it and it’ll happen? Need to find an excellent man, right? That’s where I’m troubled.

The best ones look down on me, the ordinary ones I look down on."

"Senior Sister Xu, that requires fate."

"Who doesn’t say so?"

Liu Xiaozhu unintentionally overheard the two female disciples’ conversation, suddenly he also had a thought about wanting children.

His Divine Sense focused on Xu Ying, considering the information of this disciple.

On the Flying Boat for twenty more days, they reached the territory of the Independent Practitioner Alliance.

There’s still a distance from the headquarters of the Independent Practitioner Alliance, but they didn’t plan to ride the Flying Boat anymore.

Liu Xiaozhu had no objections. He advised them and just followed along.

"Uncle Master, ahead is Macheng, can we go in for a look? I’ve heard this place is rich in brass, I’m thinking to buy some back." The Spirit Talisman Peak’s Foundation Establishment cultivator and Liu Xiaozhu requested.

"Fine, go in for a look, but you only have one day."

"That’s enough."

Actually, those who grew up here understood that, at the origin, it can be bought very cheaply, but if bought near the sect’s Duobao Pavilion, at least two or three times the price.

Eleven people discussed and decided to split up, gathering again in five hours outside the city gate.

The husband and wife carried their two children into the city, which was the Independent Practitioner Alliance’s city. Though small, it’s really quite prosperous.

"There should also be a sect’s garrison here, right?"

"Of course, those who practice here would stop here."

They were surrounded by a bunch of little kids.

Tan Shaoting found an older one.

"Predecessor, do you know any places you want to visit or any requests?"

"Show us around. We want to see the features unique to Macheng."

"Sure, predecessors, I’ll first take you to Macheng’s own Spirit Treasure Pavilion. It’s filled with our local specialties. The most famous brass has the best quality and quantity here."
