Chapter 332 Extra Chapter 13: IF Path [Cultivation Arc]

“Immortal Lord, this kind of luminous pearl should logically be formed from the tears of mermaids in the mortal realm.” Yuan Yao held the pearl and examined it carefully in the sunlight.

"Logically speaking?"

"The tears of mermaids that turn into pearls consume their own vital essence, and mermaids usually don't do this. It is said that mermaids only shed tears twice in their lives, once at birth and once at death," Yuan Yao said. "Moreover, although this pearl looks like a luminous pearl on the surface, it is full of filth and impurity inside, as if it were something deliberately made by someone. May I ask, Immortal Lord, where did this pearl come from?"

Jiang Gu said, "It was brought by an animal."

Everyone knows that Immortal Lord Yaoyan loves to keep spirit pets. Yuan Yao laughed and said, "Then it's not surprising. Some spirit pets that haven't developed intelligence have simple ideas. They probably brought them over because they thought the Immortal Lord would like them."

Jiang Gu did not like the luminous pearl.

The best beads are too dazzling and bright, while the ordinary ones are plain and useless. However, perhaps some clues related to the other party can be found in these beads.

This person is so dissolute and shameless; only tearing him to pieces can quell the anger in my heart.

However, after searching almost the entire Upper Realm for some time, Jiang Gu was unable to find any trace of the other party. But Ling Yin and Yao Shuo noticed him and summoned him.

"I heard you've been looking for something unclean lately?" Ling Yin asked. "Have you found it?"

"Not yet," Jiang Gu said.

Yao Shuo laughed and said, "What did this filthy thing do to anger our little immortal lord? Tell me in detail, and I'll help you find out."

When Yao Shuo and Ling Yin were reborn in the mortal realm, they were reincarnated as Jiang Yuan and Gu Qinghui. The three of them lived peacefully and harmoniously for eighteen years like an ordinary family, and their relationship became much closer than before.

"He—" Jiang Gu's expression changed inscrutable upon hearing this, "It's just some trivial matter, no need to trouble you."

Yao Shuo said, "Okay."

"You need to rest more often and avoid overworking yourself," Ling Yin advised him. "We're also trying to find a solution for your master's situation. Don't act on your own, understand?"

Jiang Gu nodded: "I know, Mother."

The family chatted for a while longer. Seeing that he looked tired, Yao Shuo insisted on dragging him to Kyushu to relax. Jiang Gu had no choice but to go with him.

The land of China remains bustling and vibrant.

Yao Shuo came to visit his old friend, but Jiang Gu didn't like Wu Fang very much, so he didn't go with him.

His trip to Qinghuai Shenzhou with Yaoshuo wasn't truly for relaxation, but because his tracking array was missing a crucial ingredient: the Crane-like monster that thrived in the outskirts of Qinghuai Shenzhou. This creature preferred to eat decaying bones, lived year-round in damp underground caves, and was cunning and treacherous, disliked by immortals even more than filth.

Jiang Gu needed a large quantity, so he could only track one of the raccoon dogs to their lair. Piles of white bones exuded a damp, rotten smell, and hordes of filth gathered in dark corners, filling the air with a foul stench that clung to Jiang Gu's snow-white sleeves and could not be removed. Water, whether blood or foul stench, dripped onto the moss-covered stone slabs, echoing in the cave.

Jiang Gu walked through swarms of filth and over piles of bones, finally finding the hound's nest, only to find a ground littered with hound corpses and a ragged, critically injured young man leaning against the wall.

The other person slowly opened their eyes, a flash of white vertical pupils, and then suddenly spat out a mouthful of foul blood.

Blood splattered on the hem of his clothes, and Jiang Gu thought to himself that this garment was completely ruined.

He turned to leave, but was caught off guard when a dark ghostly pattern wrapped around his ankle. He drew his sword, and the instant he severed the ghostly pattern, a blood-stained hand took its place and gripped his ankle tightly.

"Help me," the other person said hoarsely.

Jiang Gu sensed a faint trace of foul energy, very similar to that of the luminous pearl. He looked down at the other person, but Xianling pushed his hand away, lifted his foot and hooked his chin. Just as he was about to speak, the force suddenly increased and he stomped on the other person's neck, breaking it.

He almost immediately recognized that this was the bastard from that day.

However, the expected sound of bones breaking did not come. In a fleeting moment, the other party pounced on him with incredible speed. The contract, glowing red, connected the two hearts. Pain suddenly struck, and half of his immortal energy was instantly lost. Jiang Gu clearly felt the power of this ancient twin contract.

The young man pressed him down among the stinking, rotting bones, brought his nose close to his neck and sniffed gently, saying in a hoarse voice, "Jiang Gu, I don't think I'm in so much pain anymore."

Everything happened too fast, and everything was pushing the Little Immortal Lord's limits, but what he found most unbearable was the pile of rotting, maggot-infested bones beneath him. His expression went completely blank: "Get up."

Wei Feng took a bite of the immortal spirit on his shoulder, and it tasted the same as when he was a little black mist.

tasty.

But his teeth were too sharp, and two more bloody holes appeared on Jiang Gu's shoulder. He lowered his head and licked away the gushing blood, which tasted much better than that of the raccoon dog.

He's starting to like Jiang Gu and wants to drag him back to his nest to devour him slowly.

"I'll let you get up." Jiang Gu's immortal energy erupted, and even though it was only half full, it was still very powerful, directly slamming Wei Feng into the stone wall of the cave.

Countless cleansing and purifying spells shone brightly, instantly erasing the bones and filth. Jiang Gu's white robes turned to ashes, and even Wei Feng was affected, his dirty clothes and foul air being completely purified.

Suddenly being shirtless, Wei Feng felt a little uncomfortable and looked at Jiang Gu: "Give me some clothes."

Jiang Gu laughed angrily: "You're asking for death."

“If I die, you won’t live either.” Wei Feng stood up and walked in front of him, pointing to his shoulder. “When I bit you just now, it hurt me too. This is an ancient symbiotic technique.”

Jiang Gu looked at him coldly: "Who exactly are you?"

"My name is Wei Feng." Wei Feng thought for a moment, rummaged around in his pocket for a while, and then took out a luminous pearl. He saw that the luckiest Wei Feng always coaxed Jiang Gu like this, so he should be able to too. "Don't be angry, here you go."

*Smack*

The luminous pearl was split in two by the longsword and fell to the ground, turning into powder.

Wei Feng touched his palm, which had been cut by the sword energy, and frowned: "You have a really bad temper."

Jiang Gu sneered and narrowed his eyes: "Undo this symbiotic technique, and I'll give you whatever you want."

Wei Feng held his palm to his lips and said, "Blow on it for me first."

"..." Jiang Gu's forehead veins throbbed, but he still gritted his teeth and blew on it.

It still hurts. It's not working.

Wei Feng lowered his hand and said, "I will not undo the symbiotic technique. In order to leave the Chaos of the Divine Gate, I was seriously injured and ate a lot of Crane Foxes to survive until now. If I undo it, you will kill me without hesitation. You don't like me yet."

Jiang Gu looked him over again and accurately grasped the key phrase: "Divine Gate Chaos?"

Wei Feng wiped the blood from his palm onto the clean sleeve of his inner garment: "Give me Xianling to eat, or I won't say a word to you."

He kept his word and indeed shut his mouth. His handsome face was covered in scars, but his eyes were bright and clear, staring intently at Jiang Gu as if he were looking at food.

It's related to the Chaos of the Divine Gate... After pondering for a moment, Jiang Gu decided to spare the other party's life for the time being.

"Very well, you may come back to the Upper Heaven with me for now." Jiang Gu opened a space. "Go in."

"No." Wei Feng refused. Jiang Gu's space was very dangerous, with countless magic arrays and killing moves. That's how he died when he was Little Black Mist.

He transformed into a ball of filth and burrowed into Jiang Gu's clothes. Due to his severe injuries, he could not precisely control his body shape, and he almost wrapped Jiang Gu's entire body inside him. The warm and clean body carried a light and pleasant fragrance, which greatly increased his appetite. He couldn't help but lick the other's chest.

Jiang Gu clenched his fist tightly, ripped the thing off his body, and his eyes were so cold they looked like he wanted to kill someone: "Get out of here!"

Wei Feng had no choice but to crawl into his sleeve.

Jiang Gu was too lazy to talk to this idiot. He was in a terrible mood. Although he wanted to find this person, it shouldn't have ended like this. His life was tied to the other person's, which was unbearable for him.

But the other party seemed to be related to chaos, which forced him to grit his teeth and endure.

——

Yaoyan Immortal Palace.

Wei Feng didn't really like the form of the filth, because it always reminded him of when he was a cloud of mist, and he would look forward to Jiang Gu opening the magic array every day so that he could say a few words to him.

Jiang Gu was the first and only person he came into contact with.

Although there are countless possibilities between them, and they will most likely perish together, he still feels that Jiang Gu belongs to him.

He slept in Jiang Gu's bedchamber for a day and finally waited for her to return.

"Why won't you let me go out with you?" Wei Feng walked up to Jiang Gu, lowered his head and sniffed his neck. "Why do I have to see so many people? Some people even ran into you and smelled other immortals. It didn't smell good."

Jiang Gu pushed him away: "Stay away from me."

“No.” Wei Feng was much taller than him, following closely behind. “Jiang Gu, you heal my wounds. Do you know spiritual communication and dual cultivation? I want to taste what you taste like.”

Jiang Gu, unable to bear it any longer, pressed his long sword against the man's throat: "Say one more word, and I'll cut out your tongue."

Wei Feng pointed to his ears: "They're red."

Jiang Gu's pupils shrank suddenly. Wei Feng had already disappeared in front of him and appeared behind him in the next instant, hugging his waist and licking his earlobe: "Give me a piece of immortal spirit to eat, I'm hungry."

A moment later, Wei Feng held up a small piece of immortal spirit and pouted, "You're so stingy."

"Are you genuinely stupid or just pretending?" Jiang Gu coldly observed him. "What exactly is your relationship with Chaos?"

Wei Feng focused intently on munching on the fairy spirit, without making a sound.

Jiang Gu asked, "Have you seen Hong Chen inside the Divine Gate?"

Wei Feng licked his lips and smiled, "I won't tell you. If you knew, I would lose my value, and if I lose my value, I would be killed."

Jiang Gu slowly frowned. He had found a way to undo the symbiosis technique, but the price was extremely high. He really needed to assess Wei Feng's value. If he was really related to Chaos, then he could use the symbiosis technique to enter the Divine Gate... Of course, in the end, Wei Feng would definitely die.

However—Jiang Gu asked, "Why do you say that?"

Wei Feng looked up at him and said, "I hate you."

The voice overlapped with the childish voice of the little black mist, and Jiang Gu asked in disbelief, "Are you that mist?"

"No." Wei Feng finished the last bite of the immortal spirit, grabbed his hand and placed it on his heart. "You stole my heart first, and then you wanted me to talk to you every day, and you wanted me to become your Daoist partner. My heart has no brain, and you fooled me completely. When it was no longer useful, you didn't want it anymore. Even after I died, I was still thinking about you."

Jiang Gu said, "That's impossible. That black mist was a product of my own consciousness."

“Yes, I only developed my own consciousness a year ago. Before that, I was just meditating.” Wei Feng threw his hand away. “In storybooks, people like you are called heartless men. I will never forgive you.”

Jiang Gu asked in confusion, "You read storybooks?"

“There’s a whole room full of immortal spirits in the Yuanyao Palace.” Wei Feng reached out to grab a piece of immortal spirit from his sea of ​​consciousness, but was slapped away. He touched his reddened hand with a wronged expression. “You’re so stingy. You don’t even have enough immortal spirits. I can’t expect you to spend tens of millions of immortal spirits to build me a bathing pool.”

Jiang Gu laughed in exasperation: "Am I sick?"

Wei Feng replied nonchalantly, "Who knows?"

Jiang Gu said, "You'd better tell the truth, or don't blame me for being impolite."

"You were the one who rejected me first." Wei Feng lay down on the soft bed and yawned lazily. "As long as you provide enough immortal spirits, I'll tell you once I'm healed."

He was badly injured and soon fell asleep hugging Jiang Gu's blanket.

Jiang Gu stood by the bed, scrutinizing him. He couldn't discern any trace of the small black mist, yet the other's tone and expression were occasionally remarkably similar. But even if he truly was that small black mist, there was no difference.

Thinking this, he took out the piece of immortal spirit that Wei Feng had wanted earlier and placed it beside his pillow.

He was just... gathering information.
