The CEO's loser wife: Rebirth of the villainous queen of alchemy

As the luxurious cruise ship set sail in the tumultuous waters of the Atlantic Ocean, every single pair of eyes scanned the oceanic surface eagerly.

They were half expecting some sort of island to pop up in the middle of the vast blue waters.

And they were not exactly wrong.

The ship swayed along the choppy waters, amidst the endless blue horizon, and all of a sudden a thick white fog emerged.

Interestingly, the fog seemed a bit mysterious. It definitely existed and doused everyone aboard but at the same time, it felt as if it didn't exist.

Runyan even waved her hand to sense the intangible fog.

While the others were busy trying to figure out what was happening, Su Lin's eyes were glued on to John Augustin.

After all, she was a bit too familiar with this sort of an array establishment.

As soon as the fog touched him, John's pocket silently glowed.

Su Lin chuckled. Just as she had expected, it was just a small invisibility and aura hiding array.

In the next few seconds, the endless vast horizon was suddenly torn apart by a humungous mountain.

Not a mountain range, but just a single gigantic hill with a summit that seemed infinite.

"Woah" Monkey yelled in fright. Even the others were equally surprised.

And John gave a satisfied nod watching their stupefied expressions. He looked at Luther and the man's eyes were slightly moist and glistening.

He had always dreamt of this moment when he rescued and brought his son back proudly to the sect.

He had dreamt of it and yearned for it for several years and finally, his wish came true!

John wiped the tears off his face. He didn't end up rescuing his son, but he was happy to bring him here just the same.

Shortly thereafter, the ship casually docked on the island shore, housing the enormous mountain.

"Come come everybody. Ha Ha. There is still a lot more to see." John ushered everyone in with a big smile on his face.

Ella had already left to meet with the other sect elders and inform them about the group's arrival.

Everything happened too suddenly, so she still hadn't quite given them the proper notice.

Monkey, Squirrel, and everyone stepped out of the ship onto the shore one by one.

Luther as well jumped down, of course with Su Lin in his arms.

Everyone had been completely focussed on the majesty of the lone green lush mountain, so high that it was adorned by puffy cotton candy clouds, they entirely failed to notice another key aspect.

The moment the group set foot on the island, a heavenly rejuvenating wave of spiritual energy assaulted their senses.

This was not some paltry amount of spiritual energy like they had sensed back in the Himalayan ranges or even the meager amount from the makeshift array Su Lin had set up.

This was the real deal!

The thick luscious smothering concentration of spiritual qi hit their starved body, wave after wave, instantly filling and satiating the hunger they weren't even aware of.

Each member of the group became a mini vortex greedily absorbing the spiritual qi from the air.

They completely forgot where they were and settled on the sandy shoreside urgently to meditate and cultivate.

Even Runyan was a lost cause. She too began to cultivate hurriedly like the rest of the group as if the energy would disappear from the air at any moment now.

Only Luther still remained by Su Lin's side. After all, the only thing in that man's eyes was his wife and her safety.

So unlike others, he controlled his urge and decided to wait before starting to work on his cultivation base.

Su Lin chuckled. She was so touched by the seriousness and dedication of her disciples.

"Sorry, Mr. Augustin. Perhaps they can join us later?" She asked for the elder's permission in their stead.

"Ah! Please call me John, dear. No problem. No problem. I understand. Such a hard-working bunch!" John smiled awkwardly.

"Let's go and settle you two first. You must be tired from the trip." John led the husband and wife pair to a mine shaft elevator-like structure.

The trio stepped inside and a low rumbling sound echoed.

Even Su Lin couldn't help but look in awe. The sect had really managed to tap into the cultivation world quite a bit.

This enormous insanely high elevator ride was another simple array formation.

She then furrowed her brows and asked Luther's dad. "Mr. John, does the sect have an array grandmaster?"

"Grandmaster?"

"I mean an array expert of some sort?" Su Lin explained.

"Oh yes, yes. Our sect is famous for its proficiency in array formations."

"Luther's great great grandfather was extremely proficient in array formation and he had taken in quite a few disciples."

"Ha Ha. No wonder, my son is also a natural array expert!!" John chuckled and patted Luther, pulling him into a bear hug.

"Tell me truthfully, it was you who set up the array around your house, correct?"

"Of course, dad." Luther smiled warmly, without even flinching a little.

Su Lin almost rolled her eyes at the man's shamelessness.

Luther gave her a silent wink, and smiled even more, blinding Su Lin with this repugnant handsomeness.

"My wifey's achievements are indeed my achievements." The man smirked without a care in the world.

Su Lin silently nodded, covering her mouth and giggling. She very much loved this childish side of his.

The gigantic elevator rumbled and groaned carrying the trio high up to the sky.

Various paths meandered around the huge mountain, with villas located all around the slopes, buried in the dense malignant forests.

The elevator kept rising up and up and up and up for a long while, almost taking an entire half an hour in the process, even with the enhanced speed.

The trio were now so high that they could see the clouds floating underneath them. However, the actual peak was still far beyond their height, almost invisible.

At this point, John surprisingly halted the elevator and stepped onto the winding road of the mountain.
