Su Jiu had returned in March, and in the blink of an eye, June had arrived.
The cherry blossoms in the courtyard should have withered long ago, yet under the influence of Su Jiu's Spirit-Gathering Formation, they still bloomed in dazzling splendor.
Looking at the door that remained tightly shut, Su Jiu could not help sighing. "Three months already..."
That day, Su Jiu continued to meditate and cultivate, practicing the twenty-four Arts she had learned in the Seal Grounds.
Aside from that, she dealt with the people from the Enforcement Hall.
From the Enforcement Hall disciples stationed in this city, Su Jiu learned that the Soulguiding Sect had already begun to act.
Fortunately, Xia Jue had been cautious. He had not fallen for their scheme and had instead killed the female disciple who had tried to seduce him.
At the same time, however, the Soulguiding Sect and the Azure Tide Sect had effectively become enemies in secret.
Still, this was just as well. If the Enforcement Hall wanted to take further action, it would no longer have so many reservations.
The covert clashes between the two sides had begun in earnest.
After seeing off the people from the Enforcement Hall, Su Jiu quietly calculated the timing. It should happen within the next couple of days.
Yet she had only just finished calculating when she sensed a sudden, tremendous surge of spiritual qi rapidly gathering toward Junior Granduncle's room.
A small vortex even formed above the building. Su Jiu was astonished. She had been confident that the Brightflower Pill could restore Junior Granduncle to his previous cultivation level, but she had never expected it to take him a step further.
Su Jiu could not help marveling. Was this the power of an eighth-rank pill?
Unfortunately, she had never tried one herself.
