Cultivating to Become a Great Celestial Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Lady Yun
n.o.body wanted her to come up*.

I stared really hard at this 没有人想她上来. I really feel like it should be “no one thought she would be able to make it up” based on context, but it’s missing a word to give it that meaning so I went with what it currently means.

But she really made it all the way here.
  
Chu Ling knitted her brows as she looked at Madam Su who was covered with blood lying on the floor. She even had a child on her back whose breathing was weak as gossamer, noticing this, Chu Ling’s brows furrowed even more.
  
Enlightened Spiritual Master had once left the mountain to see this old lady. It was precisely that day when she had just arrived, taken the White Jade Dew and squatted in the toilet for an entire day, giving off such a strong stench that no one could approach the surroundings. Enlightened Spiritual Master went, but without seeing her returned again. Chu Ling felt that taking out her White Jade Dew was worth it. Like this, there was no need to care about how much old affections there were, reckon it was all dispersed by that overpowering stench.
  
If not, then why did the Enlightened Spiritual Master never mention her these past few days?  It was just that, a few days ago Yuerong and a few sisters were making bets, could this old woman climb up the cloud ascending stairs or not? They all said she couldn’t, no one expected that the Enlightened Spiritual Master would suddenly appear and say she could.
  
“She can do a lot of things a lot of people are unable to.”
  
Chu Yuerong knew that she had once saved the Enlightened Spiritual Master’s life from under extremely dangerous circ.u.mstances. After taking care of him until he recovered, they got married. After the Enlightened Spiritual Master left, during chaotic times she raised two children by herself. It was just that those challenges of the mortal world was nothing in the eyes of those cultivators, so Chu Yuerong didn’t feel like she did anything that amazing, to deserve such faith from the Enlightened Spiritual Master.
  
He believes she can.
  
A seventy-year-old old lady with unusually lack of cultivation apt.i.tude who hadn’t even reach the first stage of Qi Condensation was able to, without any a.s.sistance at all, climb up the cloud ascending stairs. Not only did she not have help, she even had a burden. Chu Ling’s lips smoothed and with an indifferent wave of her hand, she cut through the vines wrapped around Su Tingyun and Li Xinmei’s bodies. Helping Su Tingyun up while frowning, she squeezed a pill into her mouth.
  
As for that half-dead little girl, Chu Ling hesitated for a moment, but then also stuffed a pill in her mouth.
  
The Enlightened Spiritual Master still counts as someone who attaches importance to emotion. At that time he said that this old woman would be able to climb up. Even though he didn’t go to meet her, but he also didn’t obstruct her from climbing up. Right now she still can’t quite grasp what exactly were his thoughts so for the time being it’d be best to be as benevolent as possible.
  
After taking the pill, Su Tingyun felt that her body became a lot less heavy. A ma.s.s of black was in front of her eyes, one leg had already stepped into the gates of h.e.l.l when she was forcefully yanked back by someone. Her eyelids opened, once again seeing light. When Su Tingyun woke up she found that she was currently lying on an ice-cold stone bed. With a rumble she turned over and sat up, sizing up the surroundings. Immediately, she saw Li Xinmei was lying on a bamboo bed at the side. She saw that her facial color was much ro

sier, evidently no longer in life-threatening danger.
  
Su Tingyun’s mood inevitable relaxed a lot, and she also had a higher opinion of the Enlightened Spiritual Master. She hadn’t even opened her mouth to beg the person yet, and they had already saved the person. Since he’s actually pretty good to her, then why did he leave a 70-year-old old lady by herself at the foot of the mountain. disregarding her and allowing her to fend for herself?
  
It couldn’t be that those subordinates of his deceived the higher ups and concealed it, that’s why it ended up like this? And that it really wasn’t according to Husband’s original intention?
  
The moment Su Tingyun woke up, the maid guarding outside already knew. Not long later, Chu Ling and Chu Yuerong walked in together. These two Su Tingyun recognized. Seeing them, Su Tingyun didn’t say anything bad and just exchanged sham polite greetings with that Chu Ling.
  
“Madam Su has such strong willpower, Chu Ling feels it is extremely admirable.” After Chu Ling finished speaking she gave a slight curtsy*. It could be considered as saluting Su Tingyun: “Even though the little girl you brought back was heavily injured, after we gave her medical treatment it’s already nothing to worry about. After resting for ten days to half a month, she should be able to completely recover.”

A slight bow forward at the waist with both your hands gathered at your waist.

“After a person enters Wuliang Mountain, they must ascend the cloud ascending stairs, we are all unable to meddle. These days were quite busy so no one went down to visit Madam Su, we must ask you to forgive us.” After saying this, Chu Ling gave an appropriate smile as she said: 
“In a while, after the Enlightened Spiritual Master finishes giving his sermon he will come to visit Madam.”
  
The Enlightened Spiritual Master, and also the husband that the Old Madam bowed to heaven and earth with*. Now he’s a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, his position in Wuliang Mountain wasn’t low. He had taken ten inner disciples. The 9th and the 15th of every month he would take out some time to give the disciples some pointers and solve some of the difficulties of cultivation.

Chinese marriage custom, you bow once to the heaven and earth, once to the parents, and once to each other.

Hearing this, Su Tingyun was alarmed: “Today is already the ninth?”
  
“En, today is the day the Sects of the Wuliang School will be taking new disciples.”
  
Su Tingyun’s heart sank…… She looked at Li Xinmei who was lying on the bamboo bed and gave a faint sigh in her heart.
  
Don’t know what status the Enlightened Spiritual Master had in the Sect, wonder if it was possible to open a back door to accept her as a disciple. She must first see how the other side treats her, before planning the following things.
  
Chu Yuerong said the Enlightened Spiritual Master would arrive at around noon, but in the end she waited until the sun approached the west mountains before he arrived slowly, draped in the sunset glow.
  
Su Tingyun at this time was currently sitting on the short bamboo stool at the entrance. Old Madam tapped her toes on the ground, a bit impatient from waiting she looked at the ma.s.s of flowers on the opposite mountain that was dyed rouge by the red clouds. Originally she thought that was a beautiful, heavenly scene she had never seen before, but she never expected that one person, one man, was able to cause the flowers and moon* to lose color.

He wore a black robe, on it was some dark purple decorative designs, the garment’s color was not very bright.
  
Causing his facial features to be clear and eminent, his sharp brows were defined like the peaks of lofty mountain ranges, his eyes were like an ocean of stars vast as mist covered waters. The bridge of his nose was perfectly straight, his lips slight and thin. His face seemed as if it carefully carved by a G.o.d, without the slightest flaw. Giving off a pressuring indomitable air, what a handsome, good-looking immortal.
  
Just like the nation’s Mr. Perfect! No wonder whenever this Enlightened Spiritual Master was mentioned, Chu Ling and those other female cultivators’ eyes would all light up.
  
It must be the good fortunes the Old Madam gathered in her past lifetimes, to actually be able to pick up such a high quality man. No wonder the sons she gave birth to were all so good-looking, the inherited genes are way powerful. Even if they were dragged down by the Old Madam, they were nevertheless still as handsome!
  
Such an handsome man is her nominal husband ne……
  
Su Tingyun was a bit over the moon. All common people have hearts that loved beauty. In the end, she was still a 25-year-old young woman, to feel an attraction to Mr. Perfect was also very normal. It was just that when she got up, she knocked over the stool. Su Tingyun turned her head to glance at the ground, and fortunately, the surface of the jade stone ground was bright enough to reflect people.
  
It was like a basin of ice water was poured onto her head. Seeing clearly her current appearance, Su Tingyun had a slight urge to smash her head against the wall. That was a stout and st.u.r.dy old lady, not very different from the Rong momo in Return of the Pearl Princess, except that her skin was just a bit darker.
  
No one would feel that they matched. Even she herself would not be able to accept it, much less others.
  
“Lady* Yun, you’ve come.”

云娘 – he calls her “Yun niang” which is a bit strange as ‘niang’ is usually commonly used to address mothers. However, when I searched it up, I found that in ancient times it was a way to address a lady, with the connotations that they were young and beautiful. So, this Spiritual Master must be very, very old.

The Enlightened Spiritual Master opened his mouth and said. His tone was tranquil, looking at Su Tingyun he did not seem happy or sad, his face didn’t have any particular expression.
  
It was only now that Su Tingyun recalled, the Old Madam’s original name was Wei Yun. From long ago he had always called her Lady Yun. Don’t know why, Su Tingyun clearly possessed the Old Madam’s memories, but the memories regarding this husband were especially fuzzy. It seemed as if it’s because it was the original host’s most precious memories, so she didn’t want to share them with others. It was just that, after this soft call of ‘lady Yun’, those deliberately hidden away memories eventually appeared in Su Tingyun’s mind in disjointed bunches.
  
It was just that there was not many scenes and they were very chaotic. Su Tingyun momentarily couldn’t receive and comb through them.
  
“You’re still the same as you were in the past.”
  
Su Tingyun definitely didn’t think what he means is that her appearance was the same. The lady Yun of fifty years ago, even if she was not pretty, at least she had a young body.
  
After he said this, the looks on the surrounding female cultivators’ faces also slightly changed. Even Su Tingyun couldn’t figure out what the Enlightened Spiritual Master’s meaning was. In the past they were husband and wife. He said she was still the same as before, is that saying she didn’t change and was still the her he remembered in his memories? Then what about him?
