Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 416 Genius Su Jiuzhou

“The pneuma and blood are the main restriction for practicing Cuixing Swordsmanship. My strong physical body helped me meet the practicing requirement in advance so that I could make extremely fast progress!”

“I didn’t feel the effect of body refining at the first eight sword moves, but it was distinct at the ninth sword move. Mostly… It is should be the limit I can reach now.”

Su Li stared at the wooden sword in her hand and pondered.

“I am wondering if I can slash someone in the late Yuanying Realm with my whole strength. If I can, there are still two small realms away from the half stage of Huashen Realm… Forget it. It is useless to think more.”

Su Li shook her head and began to change her practice plan. She would take some time to solidify the swordsmanship and the rest of her time would be used to practice the two major sets of footwork. At night, she would absorb the celestial stone to improve her cultivation and refine Cang Lei Cave.

Seeing that Su Li who had extremely high strength practiced so hard, Yan Ziye dared not to slack off either. After handing over some matters with Lv You, he went to practice in isolation immediately.

Time elapsed quickly, as days and nights alternated.

Su Li didn’t relax for a moment. With the support of the celestial stone, her strength was advanced every day. Her previous cultivation realm still remained. It was just a process of a quantitative accumulation from Zhuji Realm to Yuanying Realm, so there would be no bottleneck.

Of course, if Chuangxing Path was not considered as a bottleneck.

One year and three months later.

On February 17th, Su Li’s cultivation stopped at the peak of Zhuji Realm. If there was someone who remembered her age in this life, he or she would find that she was right 16 years old on that day.

“In the blink of an eye, my memory in this life has been restored for three years.”

Standing by the river in the back mountain, Su Li looked at her reflection in the river quietly.

Sixteen years old, an age full of youthful spirit.

Years of cultivation did not affect the growth of her bone. She was already a slim and graceful girl if it was just judged from her appearance.

For outsiders, no one would believe that she, a girl with a gentle appearance, was the wirepuller of several powers.

“The bone age and appearance are very deceptive, but that will help us do businesses. There should be some news of the tea party recently that Su Yuanhai mentioned.”

As Su Li pondered, a sound of feet landing on the ground came behind her. And then she heard Lv You’s voice, “Master, Su Yuanhai sent someone.”

“Oh? Speak of the devil…”

Su Li raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly. After flinging her sleeves, she flew to the back mountain and her ethereal and indifferent voice came from the nothingness, “Tell Yan Ziye and the others to get ready and act according to the plan.”

Lv You answered respectfully and flew toward another direction excitedly.

In just two years, his cultivation had rushed to the late stage of Jindan Realm and Yuanying Realm was no longer inaccessible, and even higher realms were not just a pipe dream.

All these had far exceeded his expectation.

“It should be the very correct decision for me to drop my pride and choose to follow the Master back then…”

Su Li flew to the grand hall on the main mountain and landed. From distance, she saw that Su Mengqing and Hua Yan was chatting.

Hearing the movement outside the door, Su Mengqing subconsciously turned his head and sensed the pneuma of the peak stage in Jindan Realm emitted from Su Li faintly. His eyes brightened.

The bone age was less than 100 years. The Head was right that a genius appeared in Ni Sect!

No wonder that the Head did not squash Ni Sect in the past two years but spared no effort to support it. It was very far-sighted that the Head had been planning for the tea party for immortals since a long time ago. I never came up to him!

“Hahaha, this must be the eldest disciple of your sect, Su Jiuzhou, right?”

Although the name “Su Yue” was only known by disciples of Huajian Sect in the past, but many disciples left after the last battle to destruct the sect. It might be a potential risk to keep on using the name of Su Yue, so Su Li had to change another name.

Hua Yan nodded with a smile. The name Su Li used this time was so explicit.

Unfortunately, even if those old monsters of the twenty-five sects were smart as a fox, they would never associate anything with the name from “a genius of Jindan Realm.”

“Li, are you going to take actions?”

After sighing inwardly, Hua Yan posed as a senior and said, “Jiuzhou, come over and greet the seniors from Su Family.”

Su Li complied obediently and saluted the guests in turn.

Su Mengqing and other people were greatly flattered and nodded with a smile. Su Yuanhai, who was observing this scene through a water mirror, broke out in a cold sweat. At this moment he could never understand more deeply the saying that “he who knows nothing does not fear anything.”

“Ms. Su is very… tolerant.”

If it were him, he could never tolerate those nobodies playing a big shot in front of him.

“Perhaps, this is Ms. Su’s strength?”

…

The grade of the spiritual boat of Su Family was wrong, but it still took them less than a half-day to go from Ni Sect to the residence of the Seventh Branch of Su Family.

After the spiritual boat stopped completely, Su Li and the others just landed and they were surrounded by some miffed young disciples of the Seventh Branch of Su Family.

The tea party for immortals was a spectacular event that every cultivator of the young generation was eager to participate in!

If they had a good performance at the tea party, they would acquire both fame and fortune. They even could be accepted by other holy sects as their disciples, which would be a skyrocketing rise for them!

The Seventh Branch of Su Family ranked last in Su Family, so they only had a quota of three disciples. But one of them was taken by a small affiliated sect. How were these young disciples willing to accept this?

However, when the crowd sensed Su Li’s pneuma in the peak stage of the Jindan Realm, their faces changed dramatically, and they were all dumbfounded.

The geniuses who participated in the tea party for immortals were not more than one thousand years old. Even the cultivation of the most powerful one in the twenty-five sects was just the same as that of Su Li. And there was only one at this realm in the Seventh Branch of Su Family. His name was Su Fengchun.

That meant that Su Li would be the second-best at least, even if she couldn’t defeat Su Fengchun. So there was no doubt that Su Li would get the place.

“How should we strive for that?!”

Many disciples became sullen. They left with curses and didn’t want to challenge Su Li so much. And there were also someone who didn’t want to give up. They followed Su Mengqing from far away and hoped to see whether Su Fengchun would challenge Su Li or not. So they could benefit from that.

“Hoho, please excuse the disciples of the Family, Miss Su. They are too competitive.”

Su Mengqing smiled and cottoned up to Su Li. Before he came to Ni Sect, the Head instructed repeatedly that he must be very polite to Su Li and he should always make her feel pleased.

Additionally, Su Jiuzhou, the surname was Su… that made him associate something.

The Head was no longer young but hadn’t have a cultivation companion yet. But now it seemed to be not like that… If this girl were the Head’s daughter, she would be the Young Lord of the Seventh Branch of Su Family. So he had to be careful and fawned on her.

Su Li smiled and said, “Never mind!”

Of course, she didn’t know what Su Mengqing was thinking, but she felt his odd gaze. Although Su Yuanhai had instructed him, he was still too enthusiastic?

Su Mengqing brought Su Li into the hall and left quickly. And nothing happened on their way. The disciples of the family following behind could not help but feel greatly disappointed.

“Su Fengchun is a coward. He even has no gut to challenge Su Li. I am so disappointed in him. He should feel ashamed to be the No.1 of the Seventh Branch of Su Family.

“Hoho, why don’t you say that directly to Su Fengchun?”

The man forced a smile and didn’t dare to speak.

“The tea party competition is about to start. If Su Fengchun challenged Su Jiuzhou at this time, they both would be weakened. It would be really foolish.”

“Su Jiuzhou’s surname is Su, too. What a coincidence! I guess she must be a bastard of an elder!”

“…”

The gossip outside the door was growing, but the noise could not reach inside the room.

At this moment in the hall, Su Yuanhai stood beside Su Li with his body bent. His eyes were full of excitement that he was trying to restrain. He said, “I have arranged everything. No one will change your plan.”

Su Li shook her head and said coldly, “Nothing is absolute. Be prepared and take me to the treasury now.”

“Master, this way, please!”

Su Yuanhai pointed the way in a hurry and took Su Li away from the back door. They were heading for the most secret treasury of the Seventh Branch of Su Family along a slate-paved way.

They were stopped until they arrived a place that was three hundred meters from the treasury gate. Two old figures appeared. Su Li glanced at them and found that these two people had reached the late stage of Yuanying Realm, above Su Yuanhai’s level.

Were they reclusive elders whose only job was guarding the treasury?

As this thought appeared in Su Li’s mind, Su Yuanhai bent slightly and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “Su Jiuzhou is the genius that I scouted from Ni Sect. She will participate in the tea party for immortals this time. According to the rule, I bring her to select a magic treasure in the treasury as a reward.”

The two elders were slightly relaxed. They surely knew the rules of the tea party for immortals. One of them checked Su Li with his divine awareness and sensed her cultivation. A look of admiration flashed in his eyes. He nodded and said,

“It’s not against the rule. Go ahead. But remember that you can only take one piece of treasure.”

Su Li nodded and said in a humble voice, “I’ll keep that in my mind.”

Because of her humility and courtesy, the other elder didn’t stop them either and got out of the way. It was worthwhile to give away a magic treasure for the glimmer of possibility to win a place on the tea party for immortals.

“Rumbling…”

The treasury gate opened with a bang. Su Yousheng was stealing practicing resources there. Hearing the sound, she was shocked.

What’s going on?

Why did someone open the treasury at this time?

“I finally get in through painstaking planning…”

Looking at the pile of resources that she could not take away, Su Yousheng became painful. Suddenly… the sound of the footsteps approached. She gritted her teeth and put back all things. After picking up her magic cloak, she stepped into the wall and disappeared.

Except for the gate guarded by those two elders, there were several other small doors. And they could be opened personally by Su Yuanhai, the Head of the family.

“Squeaking—”

Su Yuanhai pushed the door located in the deepest part of the treasury. He gave way to Su Li and let her walk in.

Once Su Li entered, she sensed a familiar pneuma moving inside the wall. But it got out of the range of her psychic awareness soon and disappeared without a trace.

Her psychic awareness was extraordinary, so her sense was so clear, while Su Yuanhai seemed not to sense anything.

“Fifth sister escaped…”

Su Li looked slightly odd. Did this girl sneak into the treasury to steal her own family’s things?

She glanced at the treasury and found that Su Yousheng’s pneuma was remained on all of those valuable resources for low-realm practitioners. And then she was stunned by that.
