Chapter 233 Red Kite Seeks Jade (Part 7)

Wei Feng held onto his waist tightly, refusing to let go. Jiang Gu looked down at him, his face flushed red from the tips of his ears all the way to the back of his neck. It felt hot to the touch, with a slight shiver, as if something terrible had been done to him.

Jiang Gu pinched the back of his neck and said, "Get up."

After a long while, Wei Feng slowly raised his head. His slightly drooping eyes were red, staring straight at him. Then he tugged at his clothes.

"..." Jiang Gu looked at him with a complicated expression.

Only at times like this did he remember that Wei Feng was a genuine follower of the Six Desires Path, and that Wei Feng's self-control was already considered extremely strong among those who followed the Six Desires Path.

Wei Feng, under his master's cold and scrutinizing gaze, cleared his throat with feigned calmness: "It'll be ready in a moment."

Jiang Gu smiled.

The smile was very faint, yet it carried a hint of mockery. Wei Feng's face instantly turned bright red. He abruptly stood up and rushed out the door, saying in a panic, "I suddenly remembered something, Master, wait for me!"

Jiang Gu raised an eyebrow and casually pinched the transparent ghost mark wrapped around his wrist. The ghost mark trembled and tried to run away, but Jiang Gu held it in his palm, and it trembled and coiled up in a circle.

With the Vermilion Bird mark, Jiang Gu could sense Wei Feng's location. Since Wei Feng hadn't gone far, Jiang Gu considerately gave his disciple some face and withdrew his probing divine sense.

Several hours later, Wei Feng pushed open the door and came in. He looked normal, and all the lustful aura around him had dissipated. He looked exceptionally upright.

"Master, here you go." He took out a dark jade bracelet.

Jiang Gu recognized it as a black jade bracelet at a glance, but it was somewhat different from the bracelet in his memory. The bracelet was much darker in color, and a ring of golden clouds floated inside. The originally thin divine power had become extremely abundant, which meant that Wei Feng had refined many more divine artifacts into the bracelet.

He grasped Jiang Gu's hand and put the black jade bracelet on him, then placed a small box in his palm.

Jiang Gu looked up at him.

Wei Feng was a little nervous, and cleared his throat before saying, "A gift."

Jiang Gu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "For me?"

"Hmm." Wei Feng looked at him with a mix of unease and anticipation.

Jiang Gu opened the box, inside lay a white jade hairpin, its surface smooth and slender, made of the finest jade. The design was the most common and simple auspicious cloud pattern, but its smooth lines made it pleasing to the eye.

"It's acceptable," Jiang Gu said.

Wei Feng smiled brightly.

Just as Jiang Gu was about to put it into the storage bag, he saw Wei Feng looking at him with undisguised and fervent anticipation in his eyes. He paused, then handed the box to Wei Feng and said, "Wear it."

Wei Feng's eyes lit up instantly, and he wished he could circle around him. When Jiang Gu sat down, his heart pounded. He stood behind Jiang Gu and untied Jiang Gu's hair.

His movements were clumsy and cautious.

Young Master Wei had someone to serve him in the first half of his life. Later, he learned to use magic to do it himself, but his hair was always sloppy. Jiang Gu couldn't stand it and used magic to fix it for him. Occasionally, Jiang Gu would do it himself. With Jiang Gu around, his hair was always clean and tidy, but he never combed anyone else's hair.

Helping Jiang Gu tie his hair was something he wouldn't have dared to even think about before.

The hair wasn't neatly tied in the end, with a few strands still falling around his cheek. Wei Feng reached to gather it up, and his fingers accidentally brushed against Jiang Gu's cheek. The warm touch made him pause. He lowered his eyes in a fluster and caught a glimpse of Jiang Gu's neck and collarbone hidden under his collar. He didn't know where to look, yet he couldn't bear to look away.

"Master, it's done." He pinched the water mirror, ignoring his erratic heartbeat, and boldly placed his hand on Jiang Gu's shoulder, meeting the gaze of the person in the water mirror.

Jiang Gu said calmly, "The hairpin is well made."

Wei Feng's heart nearly jumped out of his chest. He looked at Jiang Gu with sparkling eyes, overjoyed. He knew that even if he didn't say anything, Jiang Gu would definitely be able to tell that his master knew everything!

Perhaps overly excited, Wei Feng simply turned into a puff of mist, excitedly enveloping Jiang Gu in it, wrapping his arms around his neck and affectionately rubbing his cheek: "Master, I have so many treasures, I'll give them all to you when they're all finished!"

Jiang Gu has extremely high requirements for magical artifacts. Fearing that Jiang Gu would dislike them, he always picked and chose, and refined them again and again, always wanting to give Jiang Gu the best.

Jiang Gu tilted his head slightly as the mist brushed against him, then raised his hand to press the person down: "Change back."

Wei Feng obediently transformed back into human form, but he was still in a misty state due to his excitement. He sat on Jiang Gu's lap with his arms around Jiang Gu's neck.

"..." Jiang Gu looked at him expressionlessly.

Wei Feng's eyes widened, and under Jiang Gu's gaze, his face slowly turned red. He hurriedly got up, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Naturally, they didn't see Jiang Gu's flushed neck.

"Master, I didn't mean to..." Wei Feng explained guiltily, "It really is the first time this has ever happened."

Jiang Gu remained noncommittal.

It's normal that Wei Feng likes to snuggle into his arms, wrap his arms around his neck, stick to his back, and sit on his lap after turning into mist...

This guy is quicker to beg for mercy than anyone else, sheds more tears than anyone else, and has done every imaginable heinous thing imaginable.

Jiang Gu looked at his sea of ​​consciousness, which was almost submerged by the ghost pattern, and made a hand seal, cleanly clearing out the ghost pattern and Wei Feng's spiritual power.

Wei Feng watched longingly from the side, not daring to say a word.

"Your fire elemental power is incompatible with my metal elemental power," Jiang Gu explained upon seeing this. "Your ghost mark will be dissolved if left here."

Wei Feng nodded obediently: "Master, how high is your cultivation level now?"

Although he had only exchanged half a move with Jiang Gu when he first woke up, he could sense that Jiang Gu's spiritual power was mixed with surging divine power. If they really fought head-on, he might not be a match for him.

"The Great Luo Realm at its peak," Jiang Gu said calmly.

Wei Feng stared at him in shock: "Great Perfection?!"

He cultivated for more than ten years before barely breaking through to the early stage of the Great Luo Realm. This speed is considered extremely fast in the cultivation world. Moreover, it was thanks to his special physique. Jiang Gu was a single spiritual root that he had cleansed. He actually jumped from the Great Perfection of True Immortal to the Great Perfection of Great Luo Realm in one leap... His master is indeed the most powerful!

Wei Feng's gaze towards Jiang Gu was almost burning with fire: "Master! Great Perfection of the Great Luo Realm!"

Wei Feng had never been this excited when he broke through to the Great Luo Realm. He turned into mist and excitedly circled Jiang Gu several times. From now on, he would walk sideways in the cultivation world!

"Master, how did you do that?" Wei Feng revealed two bright black eyes through the mist, the ghostly markings behind him swaggering around. "Tell me quickly!"

Jiang Gu calmly pressed him down and said, "At that time, Xiao Dan's avatar had already escaped into the passage to Chen Yao. I chased him into the passage. At that time, his avatar was already seriously injured. I gathered a lot of divine power and then cleaved him in two with one slash. After that, I swallowed his avatar and refined the remaining divine power around me into my sea of ​​consciousness. Before my soul was scattered, I escaped into the void."

He spoke simply in a few words, but Wei Feng's expression gradually became serious. He said in a low voice, "Before the soul is scattered?"

“Ordinary people’s primordial spirits cannot withstand too much divine power. However, I tried it when I was imprisoned in the Temple of the War God. I don’t seem to be averse to the divine power of the Temple of the War God. The Void Seal was opened in advance by me with the help of the divine power of the Temple of the War God. Most of Xiao Dan’s divine power comes from the Temple of the War God. Theoretically speaking, as long as I can successfully devour Xiao Dan’s divided spirit, the divine power of the War God in Xiao Dan’s primordial spirit can offset the other divine power remaining in my sea of ​​consciousness from other temples,” Jiang Gu explained.

"So you planned to devour Xiao Dan's shard from the very beginning?" Wei Feng suddenly realized. "The reason my cultivation speed is so fast is because you broke through while I comprehended the Dao through my master?"

“At our normal cultivation speed, it’s difficult to compete with Xiao Dan, and the initiative will always be in his hands,” Jiang Gu said. “You and I have special identities, and Xiao Dan will not let this go easily. This kind of opportunity is extremely rare.”

Wei Feng calmed down completely from his excitement, and looked at Jiang Gu with lingering fear: "But you almost lost your soul..."

Although Jiang Gu spoke casually, Wei Feng noticed during their spiritual communion that there were signs of repair in his dantian and that his primordial spirit was strangely weak. At the time, he was too emotional to think about it carefully, but now he realized that it was not weakness. Judging from those signs, it seemed that Jiang Gu's primordial spirit had been shattered into pieces and then forcibly repaired.

The pain and suffering involved are unimaginable.

“The influence of mentorship on cultivation levels isn’t that significant,” Jiang Gu said calmly. “Your breakthrough is due to your own efforts.”

Wei Feng silently took his hand.

"You got the Mirror Flower Scroll?" Advisor Jiang asked.

Wei Feng took out the Mirror Flower Scroll, along with several artifacts, some intact and some damaged, as well as a few artifacts that appeared to have been fused and refined. He sat down and drew a magic array on the table, from which he pulled out many high-level magic treasures, piling them up to fill most of the room.

“The Mirror Flower Scroll is badly damaged, and I don’t know how to repair it.” Wei Feng then explained the connection between Xun Lü and the patterns on the Mirror Flower Scroll in detail, and finally said, “…Master, if the Mirror Flower Scroll can lead directly to Chen Yao, then we don’t need to break the seal.”

Jiang Gu lowered his eyes to look at the vines and flowers on the Mirror Flower Scroll and said, "If Xun Lü is Shen Yao's person, then Shen Yao is not completely ignorant about the Jade Steps and the Tribulation Jade. Xiao Dan would rather give up the entire Wangyue to stay in Shen Yao. There must be something more important there. The 'Road to Heaven' that he wants to build may require more than just the Jade Steps."

Wei Feng paused and said, "Master, if the Mirror Flower Scroll can lead to Chenyao, then it should also be able to enter the sealed passage. As long as we repair it and bring your primordial spirit out, we can avoid breaking the seal and go to Chenyao."

Jiang Gu looked up at him: "Aren't you going to Chenyao?"

Wei Feng was taken aback: "We...aren't we going back to Pingze?"

Pingze is now comparable to Wangyue in both its spiritual veins and temples. Moreover, with his and Jiang Gu's current cultivation levels, they are basically hard to beat in Pingze and can live a completely free life.

“The Mirror Flower Scroll was once Xiao Dan’s divine artifact. He can think of anything you can think of,” Jiang Gu said. “Furthermore, what Xiao Dan said before was not without reason. No one in the cultivation world has ascended to immortality in the past ten thousand years. There must be something wrong with that. If we want to ascend, we must go to Shen Yao.”

Wei Feng gripped his hand tightly, looking up at him: "Master, is ascension absolutely necessary?"

Jiang Gu lowered his eyes to look at him.

Wei Feng sensed that his ruthless Dao heart remained steadfast, and the voice that reached his ears did not hesitate at all.

"nature."
