Chapter 136 Yin-Yang White Bones (Part 6)
He Guan City, White Bone Gate.
Bai Yi looked at the thick stack of task sheets in front of him, "These... you did all of these?"
"Hmm." Jiang Gu did not mention Wei Feng. The later missions were quite difficult and had damaged his primordial spirit. He was taking the time to catch up on sleep in the spiritual realm.
These tasks varied in difficulty, and Jiang Gu only selected a few magic treasures that caught his eye, exchanging the rest for spirit stones.
Wei Feng no longer needs to obtain spiritual power by consuming magical artifacts, but he needs various pills and talismans to temper his body and nourish his vital energy. Starting over, Jiang Gu plans to raise him with more care.
In the end, I obtained five Heavenly Rank magic artifacts and two top-grade magic treasures, plus ten thousand top-grade spirit stones.
Jiang Gu was about to leave after taking the things when Bai Yi called out to him, "Brother Gu, a few disciples from Qiankun Tower came to the city a couple of days ago, as if they were looking for someone."
Jiang Gu nodded calmly.
“If needed, I can help you make contact.” Bai Yi paused, then added, “Or evade their pursuit.”
With her ability to observe the primordial spirit, she naturally saw the difference between Jiang Gu and the cultivators who gazed at the moon. She had also long guessed his identity, knowing that he must be a young master from some sect or aristocratic family that Yan Yu Tai had sent from Pingze Continent. Her act of helping him was not only because she liked Jiang Gu's bright and clear primordial spirit, but also because she had some intention of befriending him.
"Thank you." Jiang Gu nodded and left the White Bone Palace.
Bai Yi watched his retreating figure and sighed softly.
"Shopkeeper, come and exchange money." A familiar female voice rang out from behind the counter, and Bai Yi's eyes lit up immediately.
The newcomer was a beautiful yet spirited female cultivator. She casually handed over a stack of task sheets, rested her chin on her hands, and smiled at her, saying, "Long time no see, you've become even more beautiful."
Bai Yi smiled, her cheeks flushed, "Sister Qu, where are your friends?"
Qu Fengyu pointed outside the door.
Three young men were sitting or standing outside. One looked gloomy and silent, another was pale and sickly, and the third was handsome. A red-haired boy next to him tried to grab his hand, but he coldly dodged it.
Bai Yi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Fortunately, they are all still alive.
These people are different from Brother Gu from before. They "smuggled" themselves into the Wangyue Continent through extraordinary means. Bai Yi first met them half a year ago when they went down a mid-level secret realm together and were all seriously injured. She couldn't bear it and paid for their treatment. After that, Qu Fengyu and the others recognized her and came to her every time to hand in their mission forms.
Their primordial spirits were very pure, which Bai Yi liked very much. Therefore, he also reminded them: "A few days ago, people from Qiankun Tower entered the city. You should be careful in your daily activities. If you find people from Shunni Tower, run away immediately."
The upstream and downstream channels are specifically designed to target illegal immigrants; if Qu Fengyu and his group were caught, they would face certain death.
"Thank you." Qu Fengyu exchanged all his money for spirit stones and left the White Bone Palace.
Wu Hezhi and Shen Yuxin went to greet him almost simultaneously, but Qu Fengyu ignored them and threw the spirit stone bag to Xuan Zhiyan, saying, "Only three thousand top-grade spirit stones are not enough."
Xuan Zhiyan looked at Wu Hezhi and Shen Yuxin with an increasingly solemn expression. "If we don't hurry up and return their primordial spirits, it may be too late."
Five years ago, Qu Fengyu obtained Song Suixi from Jiang Gu and rescued Wu Hezhi. However, a mistake occurred during the rescue, and Wu Hezhi's primordial spirit was swapped with Shen Yuxin's. At first, they were not in any danger except for discomfort and could only slowly find a solution. However, as time went on, the incompatibility between their primordial spirit and their physical body became more and more serious. A year ago, they were already on the verge of collapse. If they were not swapped back in time, they would probably both be unable to escape the fate of their souls being scattered.
A year ago, after making inquiries from various sources, Qu Fengyu learned that the auction house on Wangyue Continent had a magical artifact that could replace the primordial spirit, so the group used every means to smuggle themselves to Wangyue.
Shen Yuxin was Xuan Zhiyan's master, Wu Hezhi was the former sect leader of Yanghua Sect, Qu Fengyu was his savior, and Xuan Zhiyan eventually came to Wangyue as well. As for the red-haired child... Xuan Zhiyan glanced at the child who was grabbing his clothes. He did not expect that Wu Tuo could transform into human form, and he did not expect that he would find him and could not be driven away no matter what he did.
'My master, Wei Feng, is on the Moon Gazing Continent. I will follow you to find him.'
These are Utuo's original words.
As for the red-haired man calling him "little daddy" right away, Xuan Zhiyan's face twisted, and he decided not to recall it.
“This can’t go on.” Qu Fengyu stroked his chin. “There are people from the Yin-Yang Tower in Heguan City. We can’t stay here any longer. Let’s continue westward.”
She was resourceful and highly skilled, so none of them objected, and they soon left Heguan City together.
——
When Wei Feng emerged from the spiritual realm, Jiang Gu was piecing together several fragments.
A light rain began to fall outside the window. Wei Feng closed the window, his nose twitched slightly, and his expression changed instantly. "The Rain and Mist Order?"
"Hmm." Jiang Gu only had one last fragment left in his hand. He didn't rush to put it back together, but instead looked up at Wei Feng. "You are very familiar with this thing."
Wei Feng sat down with a frown and reached out to Jiang Gu. Jiang Gu naturally handed him the nearly pieced-together Misty Rain Token.
Wei Feng examined it from all angles, feeling the uneven patterns on it. "It's a one-time use Misty Rain Token; you can only enter the border town and not leave."
Jiang Gu seemed thoughtful upon hearing this. Ever since Wei Feng rebuilt his Yuan Dan, they had been doing missions in the secret realm and hadn't had time to sit down and discuss matters concerning the Wangyue Continent. Once the Yuan Dan was built, it could connect to the divine soul, leaving the Three-Leaf Bamboo restriction as nothing more than an empty shell. However, to avoid alerting Wei Feng, Jiang Gu did not remove the shackles, but the restriction on Wei Feng had been greatly weakened.
"The selection of people by Yanyu Terrace this time is quite grand. Even I, as a spirit beast of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion who is about to be abandoned, have heard about it. I heard that it was Xiao Dan who personally gave the order," Wei Feng said.
"Xiao Dan?" Advisor Jiang.
"The head of Yanyu Terrace, Xiao Qingyan's father." Wei Feng said with disgust when he mentioned Xiao Qingyan. "Although I have never met Xiao Dan, I can tell from the actions of Yanyu Terrace and the Eight Pavilions that he is no good. Master, Xiao Qingyan is the most useless of his many sons. He used to loaf around in Tiandi Pavilion, and when he made a mistake, he was kicked to Qiankun Tower. He is a complete waste."
"..." Jiang Gu nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Wei Feng felt a little relieved. Although he knew that Jiang Gu would never have any feelings for Xiao Qingyan, he still had to be careful. "The Tenth Floor and the Eighth Pavilion are all under the command of Yanyu Terrace. Among them, the Yin-Yang Tower is a place specifically for testing cultivators. Master, once you enter the Yin-Yang Tower, your primordial spirit will be branded. Moreover, they have special methods to control your primordial spirit to ensure that you will absolutely obey their orders. Once you enter the Yin-Yang Tower, your life and death are not in your own hands. Master, you absolutely cannot enter the Yin-Yang Tower."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Jiang Gu didn't rush to refute him.
Wei Feng's jaw tightened. "Master, why don't we go back to Pingze?"
Back in Pingze, both he and Jiang Gu were of considerable cultivation level, and their lives would be a thousand times better than they were now.
Jiang Gu didn't speak, but glanced at him coldly with his eyelids raised. Wei Feng wiped his face in annoyance, "I know it's unrealistic."
Of course, that's unrealistic. Jiang Gu was chosen by someone else, and as long as he's alive, he'll be found. And now that he's serving the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, Chu Guanshan will definitely not let him go easily, even if he's just a spirit pet that's about to be abandoned.
“The Jiang family sent me to Wangyue not just because I was specifically named, but because my primordial spirit has probably already been tampered with by Jiang Yinzhong. If Jiang Xiangyun falls, I will probably take his life.” Jiang Gu said unhurriedly, “Jin Yingxiu also poisoned my primordial spirit. It will be cured once a month. I need to go into Yin Yang Tower to get something for her.”
"Moreover, if I return to Pingze, I'm afraid my cultivation will remain at the Great Perfection of Mahayana in this lifetime."
Wei Feng stared at him in a daze.
Is Master trying to explain to him?
"So you used the Misty Rain Token to try and get the people from Qiankun Tower to find you," Wei Feng said.
“That’s right,” Jiang Gu said. “The person who came is most likely Xiao Qingyan.”
He pieced the last fragment onto the Misty Rain Token, his expression indifferent and calm. "Don't act rashly against him. I intend to become his Daoist partner."
The Misty Rain Token in Wei Feng's hand clattered onto the table.
His mind went blank for a moment, and he stared at Jiang Gu in disbelief. "What did you say?"
"I plan to become Daoist partners with Xiao Qingyan. To facilitate my entry into the Yin-Yang Tower later, you will temporarily act as my spirit pet." Jiang Gu reviewed the plan in his mind and instructed him, "Be polite to him to make things easier for me. Understand?"
"No!" Wei Feng jumped up from his seat, his expression anxious. "Why did you want to become his Daoist partner?!"
Jiang Gu frowned slightly. "Sit down."
"I disagree!" Wei Feng suppressed his rising anger and jealousy, clenching his fists, his face contorted uncontrollably. "Why him? Master, have you gone mad?!"
Jiang Gu lowered his voice, "You are just a Daoist partner; you are still my only disciple."
"Then I—" Wei Feng was about to speak when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
The magic array outside the door rippled slightly. Jiang Gu got up to open the door, but Wei Feng grabbed his wrist.
He turned to look at Wei Feng.
"You're not allowed to go." Wei Feng's eyes were red, his chest filled with grievance and anger.
Jiang Gu used her spiritual power to shake his hand away, then raised her hand to wipe away the tears clinging to his eyelashes. "Don't be silly."
After he finished speaking, he turned to open the door. However, as soon as his hand touched the door frame, the surrounding magic circle suddenly twisted violently. Transparent ghost patterns covered the entire room, and huge wings suddenly unfolded and enveloped him. Wei Feng forcibly activated the wing root blood in his body and pressed him against the door. The translucent ghost patterns, like countless tentacles, wrapped around Jiang Gu's clothes and hands and feet, sticking tightly to his warm skin.
Jiang Gu's face turned cold, and he warned, "Wei Feng."
In a fit of rage, Wei Feng grabbed his neck and kissed him.
A scorching heat rushed towards him, and the blood in his wing roots surged and burned, while the ghost patterns on his body were cold and sticky. Jiang Gu raised his hand in displeasure, wanting to push the person away, but Wei Feng grabbed his wrist and pressed it against the door, tightly binding him with the ghost patterns.
Wei Feng bit his lip, tasting the sweet and metallic blood. He forcefully pried open Jiang Gu's lips and teeth, greedily sucking and sweeping away Jiang Gu's scent. His other hand had already reached into the clothes that had been torn open by the ghost pattern, grabbing Jiang Gu's waist and pulling him tightly into his arms. His anger intensified. "Master, are you not resisting because you're afraid the people outside will notice?"
Jiang Gu coldly lifted his eyelids. His spiritual power had already reached Wei Feng's Yuan Dan through his meridians. The seal in his hand was just completed. He put two fingers together on Wei Feng's lower abdomen and neatly sealed his Dao Heart.
Wei Feng lowered his eyes, staring at his reddened lips, and listened to him calmly say words that drove people crazy, "I have sealed your six desires and your Dao heart, so stop fooling around."
A voice from outside the door came through the magic array at just the right moment, "Is Young Master Jiang Qi here? I am Xiao Qingyan."
Jiang Gu felt he had already indulged this guy to the extreme, so he raised his hand to break free and forcibly retract the ghost pattern. But in the next instant, Wei Feng grabbed his hand and placed it over the ghost pattern entwined below.
Jiang Gu looked up in surprise at the strange sensation he felt.
Wei Fengsheng was so angry that he laughed, gritting his teeth and saying, "Master, what does this have to do with the Six Desires Dao Heart?"
Jiang Gu's face instantly turned ashen.
