"The Immortal Elixir of Yaochi?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Wuqing couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
The Immortal Elixir of Yaochi was a unique treasure of the sacred land of Yaochi, and it was not an ordinary elixir.
It was formed from the immortal dew and lotus flowers within the sacred land of Yaochi, taking ten years to produce a single one.
Unexpectedly, the sacred land of Yaochi was willing to offer the Immortal Elixir of Yaochi in exchange for the use of the Tianming Mirror!
"I wonder if the Empress would be willing?"
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi looked at Luo Wuqing nervously. If even the Immortal Elixir of Yaochi couldn't attract Luo Wuqing's interest, then there was nothing else that she could offer on behalf of the sacred land of Yaochi.
"The Immortal Elixir of Yaochi?" Luo Wuqing's lips curled up slightly as she slowly nodded. "If that's the case, then I am willing to lend the Tianming Mirror to Yaochi, but"
Speaking to this point, she paused.
"But?" The Holy Maiden from Yaochi showed a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"But I will need to send someone to carry the Tianming Mirror and accompany you there."
"I see." The Holy Maiden of Yaochi sighed in relief and nodded. "Naturally, that's not a problem. The Tianming Mirror is a precious treasure of your sect and should indeed be accompanied."
"Come to the Demon Palace tomorrow morning to take the Tianming Mirror away," Luo Wuqing waved her hand, signaling her to leave.
"As per your command, Empress," said the Holy Maiden of Yaochi with a look of joy. Thankfully, she had accomplished the task given to her by the Queen Mother of the West.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi took her leave.
A hint of light flashed in Luo Wuqing's eyes.
The Immortal Elixir of Yaochi, it was said, could allow a peak God Emperor to half-step into the divine realm. Although the chances were very slim, she would not easily give up any opportunity that came her way.
In the evening.
Ning Tian dragged his weary body back to the residence he shared with Luo Wuqing.
Pushing open the door, he saw Luo Wuqing inside, facing the bronze mirror, doing her makeup.
Ning Tian glanced at Luo Wuqing, a fervent light flashing in his eyes, and then he stealthily tried to get into bed.
Today, no matter what!
He was determined to sleep on the bed!
"Wait." Just then, Luo Wuqing's cool voice rang out.
Hearing this, Ning Tian was startled. Had he been discovered again?
No matter!
Today, he would get into his wife's bed!
Biting his lip, Ning Tian decided to go all out and dashed toward the bed. Luo Wuqing's voice sounded once more.
"Covered in sweat and not even thinking to wash?"
"Huh?" Ning Tian stopped his rushing movement, standing there dumbfounded. "Wife, what… what do you mean by that?"
Luo Wuqing put down the bronze mirror and looked at him indifferently. "If you don't want to sleep in bed, then don't bother washing. Go to Moonlight Cliff to cultivate."
". . ." Ning Tian was stunned for a moment, and without another word, he activated his spiritual qi, employed the Dragon Swimming Step, his body like a nimble dragon, and vanished in an instant!
Several minutes later, a clean Ning Tian rushed back into the room.
"Wife, it's getting late. Shall we go to sleep?" Ning Tian looked at Luo Wuqing and chuckled.
"Hold on, I still have something I need to tell you."
Luo Wuqing had changed into a loose nightgown while Ning Tian was out, which did not conceal her perfect body at all.
"What… what is it?" Ning Tian's eyes lingered on Luo Wuqing.
He was not a saint.
And pretending to be a saint in front of one's own wife meant either one was not up to task or was mentally challenged.
Clearly, Ning Tian was a normal man.
Luo Wuqing knew he was looking at her, but she was too lazy to care.
Then, she slowly explained to Ning Tian about the matter with the sacred land of Yaochi.
"Ah?" "Wife, are you sending me to the sacred land of Yaochi?" Ning Tian was taken aback upon hearing Luo Wuqing's words.
"Mm." Luo Wuqing nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Ning Tian looked at Luo Wuqing, his mouth curling into a smirk, his eyes flashing with mischief.
He said half-jokingly, "Wife, it's said that the sacred land of Yaochi is full of female disciples. Aren't you afraid that…"
"Afraid?" Luo Wuqing scoffed. "Of course not."
"Wife, you're not worried about living a widowed life?" "It's fine." Luo Wuqing replied indifferently.
Ning Tian: ". . ."
"Moreover, one more thing." Luo Wuqing looked at him seriously. "There's a sacred place in Yaochi that can enhance one's physique. When you deliver the Tianming Mirror, mention this to the Queen Mother of the West; she should agree."
It was precisely because of this sacred place that Luo Wuqing chose to send Ning Tian.
She did not want to miss any opportunity to enhance Ning Tian's strength.
Hearing this, Ning Tian nodded, deeply touched by his considerate wife.
". . ."
During the depths of the night at Moonlight Cliff, the Great Elder and a group of disciples waited.
"How strange…" The Great Elder looked at the top of Moonlight Cliff, which was deserted. Usually, there was one figure practicing there.
"Great Elder, why hasn't the ancestor come today?" A disciple looked at the Great Elder and asked.
"This…" The Great Elder scratched his head. "I don't know either!"
The Great Elder and the disciples were puzzled.
Why hadn't the ancestor appeared?
During this time, the ancestor would be there on Moonlight Cliff on schedule, and they would practice with him.
But why hadn't he come this deep into the night?
They had been stood up by the ancestor!
"So, what should we do?"
The disciples were somewhat at a loss.
"Let's wait." The Great Elder sighed. "What if the ancestor comes?"
Hearing this, the disciples felt that the Great Elder made sense and began to practice while waiting.
However, they were doomed to wait in vain for Ning Tian.
They waited the entire night, while Ning Tian, the king of pigeons, slept soundly.
That night was probably the most comfortable one he'd had since he'd crossed over into this world.
