Chapter 336: Chapter 334: Shopping
The moment Su Qing emerged, he saw Su Hongshang in the small courtyard of his residence, and their eyes met in a deep gaze.
Except, there was a hint of annoyance in Su Hongshang’s eyes.
She had spotted Su Qing as well.
Su Qing appeared in his courtyard in a flash.
"What could have made such a beauty angry?" Su Qing asked, feigning knowledge. In reality, he had no idea what he had done to upset Su Hongshang.
’Could it be that I haven’t been... fulfilling my husbandly duties?’
’No, that’s impossible. Immortal Cultivators generally don’t care much for such desires. By the time one breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, the urge to procreate has already weakened to almost nothing.’
’That’s probably not it.’
"Who else but you."
"You just vanished without a trace," Su Hongshang said helplessly, then raised a slender finger and pointed toward the entrance of the Spirit Vein Small World.
"Look. I have to tend to the Spirit Medicine every single month. It’s exhausting."
"How could I not be angry?"
Su Qing followed her gaze and said sheepishly, "My fault, my fault!"
"Hahaha." He laughed awkwardly.
"Then... from now on, let’s just let the Spirit Medicine grow on its own. I don’t want to manage it either."
"I can’t be bothered with the Spirit Stone profits anymore."
"That works. I’ve been cultivating Spirit Medicine for you every month for the past year. I’m honestly a bit tired."
"It’s better to just let it grow slowly."
"You’re right, my lady." In truth, Su Qing didn’t want to keep casting Immortal Techniques either.
’It really is a bit unpleasant, like I’m just some worker drone.’
"In that case, let’s reduce the output and just let them grow slowly."
"As for the Tier Five Spirit Medicine, we can decide that later. It’s rare for cultivators in the world to buy too much Tier Five Spirit Medicine anyway," Su Qing said with a smile.
’Looks like I can’t compete for business with other places anymore.’
Su Qing no longer wanted to cultivate Tier One to Tier Three Spirit Medicine.
He could still handle Tier Four and Tier Five as usual.
After all, with normal trading, the stock of Tier Four and Tier Five Spirit Medicine would usually take several years to sell out.
"This time, how long are you planning to be in seclusion?"
"Seclusion? Of course I’m going into seclusion," Su Qing said with a loud laugh.
"But I’ll rest for a few days first."
"Your master was right, you really are a cultivation maniac." Not at all surprised by Su Qing’s answer, Su Hongshang grumbled peevishly.
"This is for our future! You have to understand, a little cultivation feels great, but cultivating all the time feels great forever."
Su Qing was already in a good mood, so he spoke the plain truth.
Cultivation really did feel amazing.
"Right, right. I’ve been cultivating for so long."
"I only feel that sense of bliss when I have a breakthrough," Su Hongshang said helplessly.
"But every cultivation session brings you one step closer to a breakthrough, doesn’t it?" Su Qing smiled.
"Want to go for a stroll through the Qingsu Island Marketplace?" Su Qing invited.
He could also buy some ingredients while he was at it.
"Of course, let’s go."
When it came to shopping, Su Hongshang never refused.
Su Qing smiled and nodded.
This was the first time the two of them had gone shopping together so openly.
As soon as they stepped out, the very attractive pair of Dao Companions walked down the road together.
The crucial part was that the man and woman were the most revered individuals on the entire island.
What Cultivator wouldn’t sneak a few extra glances?
"Hee hee, people are looking at us." Su Hongshang could feel many cultivators staring at them.
Su Qing chuckled. "Of course they are. Have you forgotten who that Spirit Stone statue on the island is of?"
"They’re looking at me, the Isle Lord."
"Hmph. They recognized us."
"Well, of course. I’m a Divinity Transformation Cultivator; who on this island doesn’t know of my existence?"
"Yes, yes, greetings, Lady of the Island," Su Qing said with a laugh.
"Hmph, hmph." Faced with Su Qing’s playful grin, Su Hongshang couldn’t help but find it amusing.
She held onto Su Qing’s arm as they continued to wander.
But it was mostly Su Hongshang on a shopping spree.
Su Qing only bought some seeds he had never seen before, along with some bird and pork meat.
In the Marketplace, this was certainly no ordinary meat.
It was all tiered.
...
...
"It’s always you. Here you go again."
"Don’t tell me all you do is eat, drink, and then go right back to Cultivation," Su Hongshang said, hitting upon a great truth.
Su Qing’s only desires were for food and for Cultivation.
It was just that sometimes, when he felt numb, he wanted to be alone and have some quiet time.
Su Hongshang wasn’t far off the mark.
She watched as Su Qing brought over a spread of delicious food.
Su Qing said cheerfully, "Listen to you. I haven’t eaten this kind of food in over a year."
"My taste buds are so numb I could barely taste sugar water."
It was true.
Su Qing had been eating nothing but Spirit Fruits, and he had grown numb to sweetness.
Now, there were sour dishes, spicy dishes, and salty dishes.
Su Qing was determined to have a good meal before returning to his arduous Cultivation.
"You eat too."
"I’ll feel embarrassed if you just watch me eat."
"I don’t believe you eat proper food every day either." Su Qing placed some food on Su Hongshang’s plate.
He then presented her with a glass of juice.
"..." Su Hongshang was a little speechless as she looked at the juice.
"Juice from a Tier Five Spirit Fruit... Are you trying to get me to drink this or not?" If she drank this juice, she would probably have to spend time refining the Medicinal Power within it.
Su Qing froze for a moment, then took the juice back.
He took out a few Tier Three fruits and made her a glass of juice from them.
As for the first glass of juice, Su Qing had already downed it in one gulp.
"This should be fine, right?"
"This is more like it." Su Hongshang’s lips curved into a slight smile. She watched the man before her, who was usually as elegant as an Immortal, now showing such a worldly expression... ’He seems even more appetizing than all the food on this table.’
Su Qing hadn’t really paid it much mind.
His Cultivation was so high that he had inadvertently given her food suitable for himself.
But then he remembered her strength wasn’t sufficient to handle such things.
It wasn’t a big deal to begin with.
"Qingsu Island should be relatively peaceful for the next few years. I just want to break through to the next level of Cultivation as quickly as possible," Su Qing said to Su Hongshang as he ate.
"You really don’t need to cultivate so arduously. Haste makes waste," Su Hongshang said softly, her voice gentle.
"It’s better to be diligent. With a higher Cultivation, certain things that shouldn’t happen, won’t."
Su Qing had always understood one principle.
He understood it even more deeply after his experience of being captured by an Eighth Realm Cultivator.
He had to seize every opportunity to climb higher.
At the same time, he began to feel a sense of insecurity. What if the Synthesizer disappeared?
’Would I become completely useless?’
This made him seize every moment even more tightly.
It pushed him to strive harder, to advance toward a place with a much broader horizon.
Because he understood that the world was vast.
The Synthesizer had also told him just how vast the world truly was.
And just how insignificant he was.
In the end, he could never feel truly at ease using power that wasn’t his own.
After sharing a meal and a night of passion with Su Hongshang, Su Qing was already back in the Little Immortal Realm.
A Spirit Fruit was in his hand.
He began eating once again.
This time, Su Qing also plucked some leaves from the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King and synthesized a fruit that would permanently increase his Comprehension.
Although his progress with the God Demon Devouring Universe Map was slow, he couldn’t let it stay that way.
After all, upon reaching Perfection, he would be able to control the power of time and space.
Furthermore, his soul would become immortal.
This was something he absolutely had to max out.
’The whole point of me doing this is just to live a little longer, to avoid being persecuted in any way.’
’And to prevent the place I wish to protect from coming to any harm.’
Su Qing silently set a goal for himself.
To Su Qing, this goal was incredibly grand, because no one knew what kind of crises might emerge from the endless worlds for him to face.
Su Qing was simply doing it to feel more at ease in his own heart.
