My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu’s eyes lit up when they heard that they could check the specialisation books in the central city of the outer island.

“Thank you, consul!”

Both of them were very certain and confident that they could transform the spiritual energy in their bodies into celestial energy within ten years.

Xiang Yu Tang nodded faintly and told the middle-aged man below: “You take the three of them to settle.”

He just glanced at the woman standing beside Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu and didn’t ask any further questions.

The other party was considered one of the most outstanding geniuses in their original interface, but in the Immortal World, there was really nothing to make him think highly of her.

Entering the Path through slaughter, and frantically pursing strength—there weren’t a lack of people in the Immortal World who possessed these two points.

As for Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu, firstly, they had outstanding temperament, and secondly, their talents were truly excellent, which made him pay slight attention to them.

But that was all.

After bidding farewell to the consul and Elder Luo, the three of them were led to a separate room by the middle-aged man and used their mental energy imprints to make three identity cards.

“This is your identity card representing a pupil of Peng Ying Island. You can enter the city at will.” The middle-aged man paused, then said: “I will take you to choose your caves now.”

“Yes.”

From this hall, the four of them rode a flying magic tool all the way north. About four hours later, they arrived at a huge mountain system rich in celestial force.

The middle-aged man took the three of them to a stone house at the foot of the mountain. Inside, an elderly man in slovenly clothes was dozing off.

“Senior Uncle, we have three new pupils on Peng Ying Outer Island. Please arrange accommodation for them.” The middle-aged man seemed to be accustomed to the sloppy elderly man’s behaviour. He stepped forward and said respectfully.

The sloppy elderly man slowly opened his eyes, looking as if he still hadn’t woken up. He casually glanced at Lou Mu Yan three, took out a bunch of talisman tokens from the table and tossed them to the middle-aged man.

“There are more than twenty Ding-level caves. After you’ve chosen, just return the remaining talisman tokens.” His voice was lazy, and after he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The middle-aged man took the talisman tokens and said: “Yes.”

Lou Mu Yan paid attention when she heard the middle-aged man call the other party ‘Senior Uncle’.

This elderly man’s cultivation base was much higher than that of Elder Luo’s. She guessed that he might have the strength of a Great Honoured Venerable, but there was probably some story behind why he came to be the manager of the caves.

The elderly man only just glanced at them faintly, his eyes looking cloudy and sleepy, not even with a bit of pressure, but she still caught the sharpness under his eyes.

This sloppy elderly man hid very deeply!

After leaving the stone house, the middle-aged man said to the three of them: “The one inside is the Junior Brother of Peng Ying Outer Island’s Island Master, our Senior Uncle. When you see him, you need to address him as Senior Uncle.”

He paused, then said: “Although he is the manager of the caves, but he usually doesn’t bother with anything except for serious fights and the like. Just don’t provoke him.”

“Yes!”

“In the cave here outside the central city of Peng Ying Island, cultivators from outside are not eligible to live here. You can live here for free for thirty years. After thirty years, you will need to pay a certain number of celestial stones before you can continue to reside here.”

The middle-aged man continued: “The caves here are divided into four levels, Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding¹. The only ones that are free are Ding-level caves. If you want to live in a higher-level cave with denser celestial force in the future, you will need to pay celestial stones.

“Of course, the Ding-level caves in the central city are better than the Bing-level caves on the other islands where outsider cultivators buy time to reside in. This is also the benefit of you joining our Peng Lai Island².” He added.

Lou Mu Yan asked with a smile: “Manager, may I ask if you need a lot of celestial stones to change to a higher-level cave?”

“The price of each level of cave is different. The minimum renting time is ten years. Take the Bing-level cave as an example. Ten years will require fifty thousand low-quality celestial stones. For many Lower Immortals, this is a huge number.”

The middle-aged man said meaningfully: “The most important thing for you all to do now is to convert elemental energy into celestial energy. It is best for you to live in a Ding-level cave for now. If you live in a higher-level cave, your body will not be able to bear such dense celestial energy.”

“Thank you steward for the answer.” Lou Mu Yan said with a smile.

The middle-aged man was still rather optimistic about the potential of Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu. After thinking about it, he reminded them, “During the ten years of transforming into celestial energy, you shouldn’t constantly remain in the cave. Go out and take on some simple missions at the right times, which is necessary for your improvement.”

“Yes, thank you steward!”

The middle-aged man turned his head and said to the woman: “You entered the Path through slaughter. While cultivating, you can go to the Purgatory Arena to experience more. You should like the atmosphere there, and it will be beneficial to your cultivation.”

The woman nodded and said with a smile: ‘Thank you, steward, for the tip.”

Then the middle-aged man stopped talking and took the three of them to look at the more than twenty empty caves and let them choose.

Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu chose two relatively remote caves next to each other, and the woman chose a cave not far from them.

The middle-aged man handed the three cave talisman tokens and three jade slips introducing the Peng Lai Outer Islands to the three people, then left.

The pupils who joined Peng Lai Outer Island were relatively free. Except for the missions issued by the island at regular intervals, the rest of the time could be freely arranged by themselves.

After the middle-aged man left, the woman thought for a moment and looked at the two of them, saying: “My name is Yan Shuang. Let’s exchange some pointers a bit if we have the chance.”

Lou Mu Yan had a good impression of this woman. She knew that the other party was a fighting maniac and that this wasn’t a provocation. She really wanted to exchange pointers with them.

“My name’s Lou Mu Yan, he’s Ming Xiu. Let’s find some time to exchange pointers.”

The other party was a fighting maniac, and Lou Mu Yan wasn’t someone easy to deal with either. She liked the enthusiasm inspired through fighting.

“Sure! Then goodbye for now!” Yan Shuang said with a smile in her eyes, then went into her cave.

Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu were married already, so although they chose two caves, but they only used one.

The celestial force in the cave was dense, but the layout was very simple. There was only a stone table and a few stone chairs. The two took out some things from the interspatial rings and arranged them.

The other cave was given to Long Yao and the several spirit pets.

The spirit pets were a part of the owner, so even if the spirit pet’s cultivation base hadn’t yet reached the level of Immortal when ascending, but they could still be brought into the Immortal World through the spirit pet ring.

Except for Miao Miao, who was temporarily taken away by the Golden Dragon King and didn’t follow, all of Lou Mu Yan’s spirit pets ascended to the Immortal World.

Among them, Mo Yàn couldn’t rest assured about his younger brother, so he also signed an Ancient Contract of Equals and came to the Immortal World together.

“The demonic energy in my body can no longer by suppressed, I’ll take Mo Yan to find a place to breakthrough.” Mo Yàn looked at Lou Mu Yan two and said.

Mo Yan had excellent talent and were twins with Mo Yàn. If Mo Yàn comprehended and broke through, it would also be helpful to Mo Yan.

Therefore, Mo Yan had reached the critical point of breaking through to Immortal.

Lou Mu Yan said with a smile: “Pay attention to your safety. If anything happens, send us a message.”

“Alright!” Mo Yan replied with a smile, then turned around and left the cave together with Mo Yàn.

¹literally and I think officially translates to ‘A, B, C, D’. But I’m not using the alphabet for this hahaha.

²author kept using Peng Lai Island starting from here, so I’ll just keep it as what the author wrote. If you see it changed again (or maybe not), I’m just following what the author does. But if I remember correctly, Peng Lai Island is from another novel too? Or maybe many cultivation/martial arts novels reference Peng Lai Island. (蓬莱岛)
