The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife

Chapter 434: Nascent Soul (First Update)

This time back to the country, Jiang Nuo seemed particularly hurried. He had just started a charity project, and then quickly returned to the Hidden Immortal Sect with Mu Qiuniang.Because—Mu Qiuniang was going to form her Nascent Soul!

Forming a Nascent Soul is inherently dangerous. If it fails, at best one starts cultivating anew; at worst, one loses life on the spot, with the soul scattering.

Therefore, anyone who wants to form a Nascent Soul makes considerable preparations in advance. Aside from Qi Replenishing Pills, Replenishing Essence Pills, Spiritual Replenishing Pills, Healing Pills, etc., one must also find an especially safe place to avoid disturbances and unforeseen events.

Hundreds of years ago, many cultivators failed to survive the Nascent Soul Formation, let alone now, when spiritual energy is scarce, making it increasingly difficult.

When Jiang Nuo heard that Mu Qiuniang felt her Nascent Soul Formation was imminent, he was shocked: "So soon?!"

"You’ve already advanced two levels; I’ve only advanced one." Mu Qiuniang’s expression was calm, as if discussing something very ordinary, like what tea we should drink later.

Jiang Nuo, however, was frantic: "Wife, isn’t it said that the current cultivation world’s spiritual energy is very scarce? You absolutely need a lot of spiritual energy when forming a Nascent Soul. Are you sure there’s no problem?"

When he read in ancient texts that forming a Nascent Soul requires large amounts of spiritual energy, he was a bit worried. Mu Qiuniang was already at the Golden Core Stage, just a step away from the Nascent Soul.

He even wondered if there was a way to keep the spiritual energy flowing endlessly.

However, before he could figure out a way, his wife was about to form her Nascent Soul?

"When the fruit is ready to ripen, it will ripen; there’s nothing I can do about it."

"But what if, when you are forming your Nascent Soul, you find there’s not enough spiritual energy? What then?" Mu Qiuniang was calm, but Jiang Nuo was pacing around anxiously, "No, wife, we should go back to your sect and ask them if they have any solutions."

"Okay!" Mu Qiuniang nodded.

Indeed, she also planned to return to the Hidden Immortal Sect to ask the Sect Leader if they had any solutions. If not, she would have to force the Nascent Soul Formation.

She firmly believed that since her master said her opportunity for ascension was in this world, she would not perish halfway; she could definitely ascend.

Mu Qiuniang’s strong confidence supported her calm demeanor.

However, Jiang Nuo was internally anxious, afraid of showing it and making Mu Qiuniang worry, so he suppressed it.

When Sect Leader Gong Xihe knew that Mu Qiuniang was going to form her Nascent Soul, he was pleasantly surprised: "Really, Master Aunt is going to form a Nascent Soul? This is excellent news, congratulations!"

"Thank you for your kind words! Qiuniang is just about to form her Nascent Soul; she hasn’t formed it yet." Jiang Nuo showed a trace of worry, "Moreover, forming a Nascent Soul requires a lot of spiritual energy, but this world’s energy is so scarce..."

"Hahaha... That problem, Grandmaster need not worry. Back when Master Aunt was left in this world, her master had already planned everything for her."

"What arrangements did my master make?" Mu Qiuniang was not surprised.

Given her master’s profound knowledge, how could he not foresee this problem?

"He specifically left a spirit vein."

"Spirit vein?" Jiang Nuo was surprised, "Is this thing even preservable?" Isn’t it said that the spiritual energy in this world is scarce? If there’s a spirit vein, shouldn’t other sects know about it?

"Many major sects have one to some extent, but the amount of spiritual energy varies. Our Hidden Immortal Sect has two visible spirit veins: one for the sect’s disciples to cultivate; the other is reserved for Cultivators of Elder level and above. Master Aunt’s cave mansion is built on that spirit vein, though Master Aunt usually hasn’t used it much because she’s often not in the sect."

Mu Qiuniang did not know that her cave mansion was built on a spirit vein. At that time, her senior brothers had advised her when choosing, and she herself felt it was quiet, so she picked that spot.

"Back then, your master left a hidden spirit vein for Master Aunt. Except for each generation’s Sect Leader, no one else knows about it. Master Aunt, shall I take you to have a look? You can prepare for the Nascent Soul Formation."

"Alright! Thank you for the trouble!"

...

The appearance of this spirit vein gave Jiang Nuo a sigh of relief. Now, he didn’t have to worry about Mu Qiuniang’s potential failure due to a lack of spiritual energy during the Nascent Soul Formation.

Once she formed the Nascent Soul, Mu Qiuniang would not only have two lives but also be closer to ascension.

Her master’s remaining spirit vein was located behind the Hidden Immortal Sect, a lush area with many unique stones and a popular gathering place for many disciples.

Therefore, as they walked along, they encountered quite a few disciples conversing or meditating, each saluting the three of them as they passed.

Once they reached the top, they saw the highest peak of the Hidden Immortal Sect, Yin Xian Peak, directly ahead, with other peaks surrounding it, and some minor peaks behind used for training purposes.

The clouds enveloped them, with brilliant hues as far as the eye could see.

"I only know it’s around here, but I don’t know the exact location. I’m afraid Master Aunt will have to find it herself."

Mu Qiuniang nodded. No wonder preparations were needed beforehand. Just knowing it was here was useless without finding it.

"In that case, I won’t disturb you and Grandmaster!"

After Gong Xihe left, Mu Qiuniang stood atop the mountain, looking in every direction at the enchanting scenery. Yet, her master’s remaining spirit vein was nowhere to be seen.

"Did you find it?" Jiang Nuo asked.

Mu Qiuniang shook her head.

"Such an important thing, your master wouldn’t have left no clues at all. Perhaps you should think about whether he left you any special items or said any peculiar things before."

Whenever Jiang Nuo read scripts before, the plot was usually organized like this.

"Hmm!" As Mu Qiuniang thought about it, she really remembered something—a golden bracelet.

Back then, her master joked that it was a treasure-hunting item for her to keep safe.

But in reality, when she recited the treasure-hunting mantra with that item,

she found it completely useless, so she later tossed it somewhere in her spatial storage.

Alright! She wasn’t sure exactly where it was now; she needed to search for it properly.

Jiang Nuo smiled: "No hurry, we can take our time. We will definitely find it, even if you haven’t thrown it out of your space."

"It’s something my master gave me, so even if it’s useless, I wouldn’t throw it away."

Despite her random placements, Mu Qiuniang wasn’t genuinely careless. She divided her space into different areas for food, daily necessities, clothing—each category organized. Even those she didn’t immediately need were placed in a specified location.

Thus, as Jiang Nuo entered Mu Qiuniang’s space, what greeted him was something they called the "Waste Warehouse." This warehouse wasn’t just any large place; it was the size of a three-story villa with over 200 square meters, filled with stuff.

These items were not specially categorized; they were roughly organized by time + name (of the item giver).
