The thunderclouds in the sky were very thick. Wen Jingge thought it was just a small discharge, but she didn't expect the discharge process to be so long.
These seven demons were not ordinary demon cultivators; they were seven demons who had already abandoned their physical bodies. The bodies they used belonged to others, but at this moment, Wen Jinge had forcibly fixed them into the bodies she had possessed—this was something that heaven and earth could not tolerate.
Spirit stones have insulating properties; Wen Jingge conducted such experiments a long time ago.
Although the coffin, forged from millennia-old black iron, was covered with many lightning-attracting talismans, without the guidance of the seven demons, the lightning-attracting effect here wouldn't have been so good. Who knows, Wen Jingge might have actually been struck by lightning if she went out today.
Fortunately, the coffins used for raising corpses in supernatural novels must undergo heavenly tribulations, absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and cultivate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before they can raise a good friend.
Although the Xuanmen Continent is a world of cultivation, who knows, these things might be interconnected?
Who cares what's in the coffin? Let's raise it first. It'll pay off eventually, won't it?
With so many spirit stones here, there's no need to worry about the spiritual energy overflowing once the formation is complete.
"You... do not exist" and realize you've been tricked.
"What's wrong with me?" Wen Jingge sat on the spirit stone, watching the heavenly lightning that was about to strike her head being drawn away by the seven demons, and then turned to the black iron coffin at the bottom.
The talisman on the coffin turned even redder, as if it were about to drip blood. After a thundercloud absorbed it, the light of the black iron dimmed again, which made Wen Jingge secretly marvel.
"You really do have a 'mastermind'!" Wen Jingge covered her forehead with her hand. The mastermind that was giving orders seemed to be angry. Thunderclouds were still gathering in this direction, and they were getting bigger and bigger.
And so, Wen Jingge watched as the bodies of the seven demons who had possessed her were chopped into dust. But the seven demons who managed to leave their bodies were not in good condition either. They shrieked and said things like they would haunt Wen Jingge even as ghosts. Their souls gradually faded and were eventually absorbed by the black iron coffin below along with the thunderclouds.
Lei Yun refused to give up, thinking that he could finally strike Wen Jinge. Just then, the coffin below released the souls of seven demons. The coffin was like a bottomless pit, absorbing as much thundercloud as came from above.
In the end, Lei Yun was defeated and left in disgrace.
Meanwhile, the "non-existence" in Wen Jingge's mind was panting heavily, as if it had just gone through a marathon and exhausted a lot of energy.
"Thank you, my good friend." Wen Jingge lay on the spirit stone and saluted the coffin below. "Should I reserve these seven holes for you?"
She had only made a tentative remark, but the coffin actually flipped over, spewing out seven plumes of flame that blocked the opening. The black coffin was then shrouded in an indistinct cloud of mist and gradually disappeared from sight.
"Are you still here?" Wen Jingge asked.
The coffin revealed a dark corner, as if to prove its existence.
Are you alright?
The person who came was Qiao Yu, who was quickly shoveling rice into his mouth. He didn't dare to come over because of Lei Yun's state just now. Wen Jingge understood that Lu Wei had possessed him.
Where are the others?
"He begged me to come out and help you, and told me to finish my meal before I saw you, saying he was afraid you would scold him. Then he hit his head on a pillar and passed out."
Wen Jingge: ...
"No, that's not right! He's unconscious, what kind of food would I be eating!" Lu Wei put the bowl aside and looked at Wen Jingge from her perspective again. The seven heads that were originally there were gone. "Did you eat them?"
"It's gone."
What did you do to deserve this?
Wen Jingge didn't speak, but casually touched her nose. Lu Wei coughed and awkwardly picked up his rice bowl. "You two, master and disciple, are no ordinary people! One is being targeted by the demons, and the other is being targeted by the heavens above. Wait a minute, where's the coffin?"
“It’s hidden.” Wen Jingge pointed down and pushed Lu Wei up. “You’ve finally gotten to be human, so just finish eating! I’ve fixed the pool and filled it with water. Now its effects are comparable to the spiritual spring outside.”
"Alright, alright." Lu Weiyi offered his opinion while eating, "Your disciple's foundation is unstable and his mentality is also unstable. It's best to teach him. Otherwise, let alone the sixth rank, even the current seventh rank can't beat those who have built up their strength with pills."
"Oh." Wen Jingge shrugged, not really caring. "Why don't you teach me?"
"I..." Lu Wei took a deep breath to prevent herself from choking on her food, "It's impossible for him and I to wake up at the same time. I can only come out on my own if he's in danger. You were the one who prepared that bowl of medicine!"
"The book only has this one way for you to coexist."
"Coexistence?" Lu Wei opened his mouth, realizing he had misunderstood her. Had she really not intended for him to disappear in this way?
"Shall I try again?"
"Whatever." The "non-existence" in her mind was tired, and so was she. She took out the purple-gold bowl, filled the pool, and then pressed on Lu Wei's shoulder. "You can sleep here in his place, and then give your body back to him tonight."
"Where are you going?" Lu Wei felt that something was wrong with Wen Jinge right now; her eyes were lifeless and devoid of light.
"Go wash the dishes."
"Um?"
"Look at the map, get ready to make money."
"..." After everyone left, Lu Weicai went down into the pool. He smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid he's not here to make money, but to cause trouble!"
"Master, where is my junior brother?"
The commotion on Wanzhang Peak today was comparable to the inescapable trap Wen Jingge had laid in the past, which naturally drew the attention of the other peaks. However, the first to return was her eldest disciple, Liang Si, who breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Wen Jingge was safe and sound.
"Taking a bath in the pool." Seeing his travel-worn appearance, even though his red flying fish robe was dirt-resistant, it was still stained with quite a bit of grime. "Making magical artifacts?"
"I'm helping Uncle Ai out. He said he'd make a few more rings and bracelets for Master this time. Uncle Ai has also taken on a new batch of disciples, so I'll help keep an eye on them too. I'll go change my clothes first and then come back to tell Master."
"No need." Wen Jingge tugged at his belt and pulled him closer. "Does your Uncle Ai have many spirit stones?"
Liang Si considered the matter in her mind, "I've already returned three medicinal mountains to Master. From Master's perspective, that's not much more."
"He actually paid it back..." Wen Jingge sighed in regret.
"Is there anything Master wants to buy recently?"
"I have no money and no confidence." Wen Jingge scratched her head, then looked at Liang Si, who was eager to help her out. "I just feel that there might be a big expense that will have to be paid to you, Junior Brother Yuan. You understand what Master means, right?"
"Master wants to cleanse his marrow and reshape his meridians? I have examined him, and he is too old, so we can only start from scratch."
"Okay." Wen Jingge nodded. "Once you're done with your work, I'll go find the sect leader, and our sect will go down the mountain together to make money."
"Before going down the mountain, we can go to Uncle Fan's medicinal herb mountain to see if there are any expensive ones, and we can bring some back to sell."
"Wen Xiaowu!" The one who yelled was none other than Fan Zifan. "You're bad all by yourself, and you've even corrupted such a well-behaved and sensible person as Liang Si! You have ulterior motives!"
