The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 874: The Next Step
Little Ling hadn’t even finished recounting her recent experiences traveling with her grandfather when Dantai Mingjing returned.
Immediately, all the eyes in the pavilion turned to him with curiosity.
Dantai Mingjing’s aged face softened with a faint smile.
“Nothing much. Cheng Xian and I go way back,” he said casually.
The answer was far too perfunctory, clearly not what Su Jingzhen and the others had hoped to hear. Yet, none of them dared to press further.
It was evident that Dantai Mingjing carried countless untold stories with him, and it was impossible for him to share the details of his actions with juniors like them.
Nevertheless, they quietly anticipated the day when time would reveal all of Dantai Mingjing’s plans before their eyes.
At this point, Dantai Mingjing deliberately changed the subject, shifting his gaze to Wang Yingying:
“Little girl, your alchemy skills are still lacking to pass the first round of the Divine Dan Realm’s evaluation.”
“Although you’ve already apprenticed under Cheng Xian and shouldn’t be overly fixated on some matters, with your Ethereal Dan Heart, certain opportunities and fortunes are worth striving for.”
“It is time for you to challenge yourself.”
“Refine this pill, and I will help you perfect your Ethereal Dan Heart today.”
As he spoke, Dantai Mingjing waved his hand, and a white jade slip landed in Wang Yingying’s palm.
Her expression turned excited as her Divine Sense probed the slip, but moments later, her face grew serious.
The jade slip contained the recipe for a fifth-grade pill – one she had never attempted, nor even seen before.
Before Wang Yingying could speak, Dantai Mingjing waved his hand again, and a pile of medicinal ingredients appeared before her, precisely those required for the pill.
After studying the recipe carefully for a moment, Wang Yingying did not hesitate. A violet flame ignited within the Purple River Divine Furnace before her, and she quickly immersed herself in the alchemy process.
When her Ethereal Dan Heart manifested, Dantai Mingjing once again merged his Immaculate Dan Heart with hers.
“It can work like that?”
Su Jingzhen, who wasn’t participating in the alchemy, watched the scene unfold, his expression filled with amazement.
As someone who also possessed a Dan Heart, he immediately understood Dantai Mingjing’s intention.
However, he also knew that he couldn’t replicate such a technique at his current level, prompting him to observe intently.
Time passed and half an hour passed.
By now, the fluctuations of Wang Yingying’s Ethereal Dan Heart had grown increasingly intense.
Even Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao could sense an aura of perfection emanating from it.
“Yingying’s Dan Heart… it’s actually reached perfection!”
“This alone might make the alchemy gathering unnecessary-she’s already obtained her greatest fortune,” Qiu Yaoyao remarked, her tone tinged with envy.
Previously, when Wang Yingying had become Cheng Xian’s disciple, Qiu Yaoyao had thought that it was a life-changing opportunity.
Now, in the span of an hour, Wang Yingying had experienced another meteoric rise.
For an ordinary cultivator, this was no different from living the life of a protagonist blessed by heaven.
With her Ethereal Dan Heart reaching perfection, Wang Yingying’s furrowed brows eased significantly. The process of condensing the pills, which had been difficult before, was now much easier.
Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted out from the Purple River Divine Furnace.
As far as Wang Yingying was concerned, the unfamiliar Fifth Grade Pill had been successfully refined.
With a light tap on the furnace, a round, white pill appeared in front of the group, radiating an aura of the highest quality.
“The top-tier Xuan Su Pill. To achieve this level, it should be more than sufficient for the subsequent rounds of the Divine Dan Realm Alchemy Gathering,” Dantai Mingjing said, smiling with satisfaction.
At that moment, Wang Yingying knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Better than anyone else, she understood what these two alchemy sessions meant for her future.
Although Wang Yingying had no official connection to Dantai Mingjing, the fortune he bestowed upon her surpassed what countless others could ever hope for.
Dantai Mingjing waved his hand dismissively. “Go on. Cheng Xian still has much to teach you. Follow him, and one day the Divine Dan Sect will surely reserve a place for you.”
With those words, it became clear that Dantai Mingjing had no further gifts or guidance to offer Wang Yingying.
After a brief exchange, Wang Yingying left the courtyard.
As Cheng Xian’s disciple, she naturally had to return to his side.
Moreover, she understood that Su Jingzhen and the others might have other matters to discuss in the pavilion, and her presence might be inconvenient.
After Wang Yingying left, Su Jingzhen and the others turned their curious eyes back to Dantai Mingjing.
The elder smiled faintly. “There’s really nothing else. Just continue to cultivate at your own pace. For now, let’s wait and see what surprises the Divine Dan Realm has in store.”
With that, Dantai Mingjing went to a side room in the courtyard.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen and the others could only exchange helpless glances.
Once Dantai Mingjing entered the room, he seemed to enter into a meditative state and did not reappear.
Meanwhile, Su Jingzhen, Qiu Yaoyao, and Little Ling decided not to waste their time with aimless cultivation.
Instead, they explored the bustling regions under the Northern Abyss Divine Sect’s domain, visiting various fascinating locales.
As Su Jingzhen put it, relaxation was essential before a great battle – balancing work and rest was the key to success.
And for alchemists like them, wasn’t the upcoming alchemy gathering in the Divine Dan Realm their version of a grand battle?
Thus, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The leisurely exploration not only helped Su Jingzhen regain his composure, but also saw his accumulation of available points rise steadily.
[Remaining Usable Points: 17,658]
In three days, including the fixed daily points and the occasional bonus contributions from Qiu Yaoyao, Su Jingzhen hadn’t even gained a thousand points.
To him, it wasn’t much, but the nearing milestone of 20,000 points filled him with unshakable confidence.
After all, the talent of Control Dan Heart, no matter how impressive, was secondary to Su Jingzhen.
For him, true power lay in tangible combat strength and the points that could directly enhance it.
At this time, the massive group of over 9,000 alchemists who had passed the preliminary selection, along with their accompanying factions, gathered at the teleportation plaza under the guidance of the Northern Abyss Divine Sect.
Excitement flickered in everyone’s eyes.
After all, the next stop, the Divine Dan Realm, was a place where their lives could soar to even greater heights.
Standing at the center of the massive teleportation array, Yu Xinhai raised his voice. “Everyone, follow me!”
At his command, the countless teleportation arrays across the plaza locked onto a single set of coordinates.
The moment had come. The journey to the Divine Dan Realm had begun!
