The Wordless Book, Su Jinxiu's Method
Zhao Linger was the type who was bad at drinking but loved to play. When Xiao Fan carried her back, she kept hiccuping and throwing up.
Fortunately, she hadn't eaten anything, and had only drunk a little alcohol, so there wasn't much to throw up. Her sleeping posture, however, was a bit dazed; drool flowed out, and she was even talking in her sleep.
"Annoying… *huff*~"
"Hey, Xiao Fan, am I a good-for-nothing?"
She reached out and hooked Xiao Fan's neck, asking in a hazy voice.
"Not bad, not particularly useless."
"Bad person, you, you won't… praise… praise me a little?" Zhao Linger pouted.
It was as if she had a surge of Qi pent up in her heart, but she froze for a long time without saying anything, her hands falling weakly. Then, she buried herself in Xiao Fan's embrace and fell asleep.
Xiao Fan watched her.
She was upset by him; how could this be allowed?
He must control this new Lady of Luck!
… … … … … …
Yaochi Immortal Palace, Core Disciple area.
Amidst green mountains and verdant pines, an Immortal Qi-filled Immortal Cave resided. Around it, streams gurgled, spirit deer drank from the ravines, and Immortal Cranes occasionally soared and circled above the Immortal Cave.
This was Su Jinxiu's Immortal Cave.
She preferred tranquility, so she located her Immortal Cave deep in the mountains. It was a small courtyard, but all facilities were readily available.
Surrounded by mountains, lush forests, and flowing springs, it appeared serene and elegant.
In the Cultivation room, Su Jinxiu meditated peacefully, eyes closed in concentration, suspended in the air. Her long dress and hair hung down, and her body seemed to drift vaguely.
She was completely immersed in a profound Realm. Before her, a wordless heavenly book turned its pages without wind.
In the quiet serenity, the rustling sound of the pages turning was exceptionally clear.
Each time the wordless heavenly book turned a page, golden, mystical characters would appear on it.
However, when one tried to focus on them, these characters would all vanish. Only by feeling them with one's Heart-Nature, like Su Jinxiu, could one comprehend their essence.
After an unknown period, perhaps thousands of years, or perhaps ten days to half a month, Su Jinxiu's beautiful eyes opened, revealing a serious expression.
Her temperament was elegant and transcendent, her Immortal charm ethereal and sacred. Especially after Su Jinxiu joined the Immortal Palace, her Immortal beauty finally blossomed completely: ice-like skin and jade-like bones, a willowy waist that could be grasped with one hand, and a beautiful, delicate face naturally formed like a jade maiden.
Her Phoenix eyes, willow brows, and starry gaze, her apricot face, peach cheeks, and flower-like appearance, her green long dress tightly enveloped her perfect figure, her jade legs long and slender, her full bosom perfectly proportioned.
Without a trace of makeup, she was like a peony intoxicated by the spring breeze.
"This wordless heavenly book is truly profound."
"Thousands of techniques, Yin and Yang, Five Elements, life and death, Reincarnation, creation—it encompasses everything. Cultivating the techniques within allows me to possess the ability to kill enemies across Realms."
"Not only that, but the Cultivation Technique within is even more exquisite. I can feel the pure Yin power in my body becoming more refined and condensed."
Su Jinxiu praised inwardly, silently putting away the wordless heavenly book.
This was a treasure she obtained a year ago when she was out on a training expedition and accidentally entered a Secret Realm. At the time, she simply found it miraculous and collected it, not seeing any particular use for it.
But one day, when she began to comprehend this wordless heavenly book, she felt as if she was swimming in a vast ocean of techniques.
The techniques within were as numerous as stars, as vast as the sea. Each one was a miraculous Cultivation Technique that could drive people mad, and she could learn all of them. This was too incredible.
"Greediness spoils the broth. I only need to specialize in one type. As for the others, I can copy them down and hand them over to the Scripture Pavilion for contributions, or send them back to my Family so that my clansmen can also Cultivate superior Cultivation Techniques."
Su Jinxiu made up her mind; this was what she would do.
Just then, two beautiful female Disciples, dressed in noble and precious robes, landed outside Su Jinxiu's Immortal Cave.
One of them spoke, "Senior Sister Jinxiu."
Su Jinxiu, in the Immortal Cave, heard the crisp sound from outside the door. She got up and walked out.
Seeing the visitors, who were Disciples who had entered the sect at the same time as her, Su Jinxiu smiled and said, "Junior Sisters, what can I do for you?"
One of the female Disciples said, "We haven't thanked Senior Sister for what happened last time. We came today to say thank you, Senior Sister Jinxiu."
"Yes, if it weren't for Senior Sister Jinxiu's help, we two might have been buried in that valley," another female Disciple said gratefully.
The valley they spoke of was precisely the Opportunity where Su Jinxiu had accidentally entered. It was there that Su Jinxiu obtained the wordless heavenly book.
During that trip to the valley, she had casually saved these two fellow Disciples. Over time, she had become familiar with them.
"Junior Sisters, good people are always blessed. We are all fellow Disciples, and I happened to pass by, so naturally, I couldn't stand by and do nothing."
Su Jinxiu said with a smile, her words flowing smoothly and pleasantly.
These two were not simple. One was an Immortal Dynasty Princess, and the other was the daughter of a prominent aristocratic Family. The forces behind each of them far surpassed Su Jinxiu's Family.
"Hehe, Senior Sister is being modest. I was almost in despair at the time. If Senior Sister hadn't acted, I might not have been able to stand here."
"Yes, thank you, Senior Sister."
Su Jinxiu nodded, invited them in, and the three talked happily.
The two women stated their purpose.
"Senior Sister, we received news that an Immortal Cave is about to emerge in the dense forest of Beibaichuan. We specifically came to invite Senior Sister to explore that Immortal Cave with us, so we can look out for each other."
"Yes, this time we are fully prepared and have even obtained a map of the area, so it's foolproof."
Upon hearing that an Immortal Cave was about to emerge, Su Jinxiu immediately had a plan.
Now that she had the wordless heavenly book, Cultivation Techniques were the least of her worries.
However, she needed Immortal Stones, Medicinal Pills, and divine materials.
The stipend she received from Yaochi Immortal Palace was enough for her Cultivation, but only for the current stage. As her Cultivation improved, she would need more and more things.
She had to plan ahead.
However, out of politeness, she still declined.
The two Disciples, however, were persistent, earnestly inviting her to go with them.
"Consider it our thank-you gift to Senior Sister."
"That's right, the kindness of saving our lives cannot be repaid. Please don't refuse this small token of gratitude, Senior Sister."
Only then did Su Jinxiu reluctantly accept, agreeing to go with the two of them.
She packed her Immortal Artifacts, prepared everything, and then set off with the two women towards the place where the Immortal Cave was emerging.
… … … … … …
After settling Zhao Linger back in the Immortal Palace, Xiao Fan immediately had someone investigate Su Jinxiu's information, including her identity, Family, age, and recent status.
In addition, he also had Wang Cai monitor Su Jinxiu's every move to see what this Lady of Luck would do.
"The Su Family, an ordinary small Family."
"Naturally extraordinary, quick-witted, once managed the Su Family's businesses. During her time in power, she significantly improved the Su Family's overall strength."
"There are rumors that the Su Family used to be a large Family, but it has simply declined."
Xiao Fan sat on his throne, looking at the information, his index finger lightly tapping the armrest, remaining silent.
Gifted and capable of management, this woman was not simple.
And those rumors might indicate that the Su Family could be a small branch of a large Family.
What means should he employ? Coercion and inducement, or direct intimidation with force? This was a problem.
While he was pondering, two barks came from outside the door.
"Master, woof woof, there's something going on." Wang Cai trotted over excitedly.
However, he was a bit different from usual; a purplish-golden rope was tied around his neck, with a broken bowl attached to it.
He had directly tied the broken bowl to his body, carrying it with him!
"What's going on?" Xiao Fan asked.
"It's like this, Master."
"Two women went to find that person. I overheard them, and it seems they're going to some Immortal Cave, probably to a Secret Realm to search for treasure."
"That place is called Beibaichuan, yes, it's Beibaichuan," Wang Cai confirmed.
Going out to a Secret Realm to search for treasure?
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Fan instantly had an idea.
The Heart-Nature of this woman needed to be evaluated. He needed to understand her personality in order to adopt appropriate methods.
This trip to the Secret Realm was an Opportunity.
"Good, I understand."
Xiao Fan dismissed Wang Cai and summoned Ah Kun, preparing to leave.
Before departing, Xiao Fan summoned a hundred Hell Demonic Gods in the Late Stage of Golden Immortal and transformed half of them into Primordial Angels.
He ordered fifty Hell Demonic Gods to go to the Su Family, surround and control everyone in the Su Family, record the situation of the siege, and report it to him.
The remaining fifty Primordial Angels were sent out to track Su Jinxiu, to thoroughly understand her every move.
One overt, one covert, a two-pronged approach.
At this moment, Su Jinxiu and the two female Disciples were on their way to the Immortal Cave.
They were well-prepared, bringing many subordinates. The two female Disciples had extraordinary backgrounds, and their families had provided them with guards.
This trip, in addition to the three of them, also included a hundred-person guard team led by two True Immortals, making the level of protection extremely high.
Su Jinxiu always felt a sense of foreboding lingering in her Heart-Nature. This ominous feeling did not originate from herself, but from a connection to her Bloodline.
As if sensing Su Jinxiu's emotions, one of the female Disciples asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, why do you look so worried? Is something bothering you?"
Su Jinxiu came back to her senses and smiled, saying, "I'm a little worried about my Family; I feel a bit uneasy."
"Senior Sister, you don't need to worry. What danger could there be?"
"Exactly, Senior Sister, your status in the Immortal Palace is rising. Who would dare cause trouble for your Family? If such a thing truly happened, you wouldn't need to act, Senior Sister; I would resolve it for you."
The two women said.
Su Jinxiu nodded and said, "I must have been overthinking."
They traveled without speaking, heading straight for their destination. Soon, the three and the guard team arrived at their final point.
The news of this Immortal Cave's emergence had not spread; only a few people knew the inside story. Therefore, there weren't many people near the place where the Immortal Cave emerged.
Aside from a few Loose Cultivators who happened to be nearby, only two or three other forces had arrived.
Everyone understood tacitly, silently waiting for the Immortal Cave to emerge.
Not long after, the Immortal Cave emerged. Though called an Immortal Cave, it was more accurately described as a small city. With low, red walls and green tiles, and weeping willows lining the streets, it looked exactly like a city, except for the absence of people.
Perhaps the owner of this Immortal Cave simply preferred this style.
Perhaps the Immortal Cave's original owner was not well-known, or perhaps the original owner preferred to be low-key. In any case, the emergence of the Immortal Cave had no unusual phenomena. It suddenly rose from the ground, without any warning.
Everyone didn't care and entered it.
Su Jinxiu and her two fellow Disciples set off together and also entered.
Xiao Fan rode the Kunpeng, observing everything from the sky above. He did not land and enter.
"Po Wang Zhi Yan (Eyes of Truth)!"
He began to cast a spell, activating his True Sight to penetrate illusions and grasp the overall situation.
Time passed minute by minute. Through his Po Wang Zhi Yan (Eyes of Truth), Xiao Fan saw an interesting scene. He couldn't help but chuckle, "She does have some tricks up her sleeve."
