Chapter 323 Extra 4: Daily Life [The Impure Demon Arc]
The countless filthy demons in the void, having caught the scent of Wei Feng, surged forward in a frenzy.
Wei Feng raised his hand, and ghostly patterns spread behind him. The restless demons immediately stopped in their tracks, not daring to take another step forward.
However, it was too late. The "leader" they were following had no intention of letting them go. The black and sticky ghost patterns exploded into clouds of black mist, which instantly filled the entire void. All around were the sounds of the impure demons struggling and roaring as they were dying. Wei Feng's expression was cold, and there was no hesitation or pity in his eyes.
The red cloth was stained black by the mist, and the overflowing evil aura was so thick it seemed tangible. Faint thunder rumbled from beyond the void, warning Wei Feng.
Wei Feng remained unmoved and killed all the evil demons in the mist before the first lightning bolt struck.
The next moment, thunder roared.
Jiang Gu opened his eyes.
The wind blew open the window, bringing in a few fallen leaves. Jiang Gu got up and picked up his outer robe. He had slept quite soundly. Wei Feng had used his immortal spirit to completely envelop his primordial spirit, shielding his five senses and temporarily severing his connection with the Immortal Palace and the Sixteenth Heaven, so he was not disturbed in any way.
This place is a courtyard in Qinghuai Shenzhou.
Occasionally, Jiang Gu would bring Wei Feng over to rest for a few days. After all, so many eyes were watching from the Upper Heaven. As the only immortal palace besides Yao Yan Immortal Palace located in the Sixteenth Heaven, Linming Immortal Palace still had many immortals who were dissatisfied and were just waiting for Wei Feng to make a mistake so they could seize on him. Although Wei Feng was lazy and irresponsible in front of him, he was considered diligent and ambitious in the Upper Heaven. When the immortal palace was first completed, Wei Feng worked day and night for a long time, and in the end, he was so angry that he ran into Jiang Gu's sea of consciousness and refused to come out no matter what...
Jiang Gu scanned the area with his divine sense but couldn't find Wei Feng. He asked in confusion, "Wei Feng?"
"Master, I'm outside, I'll be right back." The ghostly markings on his lower back climbed up his shoulders and back, circling his neck several times before answering.
"Where did they go?" Advisor Jiang asked.
The ghostly markings nuzzled his cheek affectionately: "You'll find out when I get back, Master. Did you sleep well?"
"It's acceptable." Jiang Gu was about to conduct his routine inspection of the void when his primordial spirit was entangled by Wei Feng's ghostly markings. He paused slightly, "What's wrong?"
"You promised to come and keep me company." Wei Feng domineeringly blocked his way. "You're not allowed to go anywhere, and you're not allowed to handle any official business."
"It won't take up any of my time with you," Jiang Gu said.
He was used to doing multiple things at the same time, and even now he had several clones traveling in the lower realm—of course, each of them was entangled with Wei Feng's ghostly markings, ostensibly to protect him.
“No,” Wei Feng said. “They all have to stay with me.”
Jiang Gu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Are you sure?"
“Of course.” Wei Feng’s voice rang close to his ear.
Jiang Gu said, "Okay."
His quick agreement made Wei Feng somewhat suspicious: "Really?"
Jiang Gu pinched the ghostly mark that was causing trouble on his neck and said, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to come back."
While frantically washing away the impurities clinging to his clothes and primordial spirit outside the void, Wei Feng calmly asked, "Master, why are you in such a hurry for me to go back? Do you miss me?"
His response was a ghostly mark, whose connection to him had been severed.
Wei Feng showered immortal spirits on himself as if they were free, but with little effect. The filth from the filthy creature was extremely difficult to wash off an immortal. Even someone as powerful as Jiang Gu, when he was tainted by the filth from a weak creature like Wei Feng, was unable to cleanse himself properly and had lost his temper several times. Now, Jiang Gu's clear primordial spirit also contained a considerable amount of Wei Feng's filth, but Yao Yan Immortal Lord simply turned a blind eye.
However, the foul aura of those demons and the foul aura of Wei Feng are completely different things. It's good that Jiang Gu can't recognize it.
Wei Feng immediately went to the Ninth Heaven to find Feng Wuyou.
Feng Wuyou was sleeping in the back garden of Yaoyan Immortal Palace. He was pulled up with a blank look on his face. Then he was hit by the evil aura on Wei Feng's body, and the hair on the back of his head stood up.
After listening to Wei Feng's words, he pondered deeply and tried to use the purification techniques of the immortal spirit and the carefree beast, but to no avail.
"The foul aura emanating from this demon is far more potent than ordinary filth; it probably won't be able to be removed in a short time," Feng Wuyou said doubtfully. "You went into the void? Aren't you afraid your master will find out and punish you?"
Wei Feng said, "We'll keep it a secret as long as we can."
Azure Dragon and Luan Phoenix came over to join in the fun. Azure Dragon said, "I can try it with true fire. Your Highness, please stand further away."
When Wei Feng was a child, he often played with it. Upon hearing this, he took a few steps back. When the Azure Dragon unleashed a burst of true fire, Wei Feng was almost burned to ashes, but the foul odor on his body was only slightly eliminated.
Luanfeng said, "There must not be enough real fire. I'll call Zhuque and Qilin."
A moment later, Wei Feng was surrounded by all sorts of divine beasts in the back garden. He was both tempered by fire and submerged in water, and received a great deal of blessings, but much of the foulness on his body remained.
白虎舔了舔爪子,道:“你别挣扎了,让仙君揍你一顿就好。”
"It's best to cry loudly, so the Immortal Lord will soften his heart," said the Vermilion Bird. "Grow wings; the Immortal Lord likes that."
The Qilin shook its head gracefully, gave him a bit of luck, and left.
"You're doomed. Even the Qilin thinks you're out of luck." The Azure Dragon flicked its tail. "Your Highness, you'd better watch yourself."
Wei Feng: "..."
“Let’s go find Immortal Lord Ziguang. He’s full of ideas; perhaps he can come up with a solution,” Feng Wuyou said.
"My master told me to return within a quarter of an hour," Wei Feng said.
"Just let Ziguang shut up a bit." Feng Wuyou dragged him straight to the Immortal Pool.
Zi Guang, who was leisurely fishing, gloated after hearing this, saying, "I do have a way, but a quarter of an hour is definitely not enough. If Yao Yan finds out that I helped you keep it from him, I will be the one who suffers. Immortal Lord Linming, unless you allocate more blessings to my palace."
Wei Feng remained expressionless: "Impossible."
“Then I’m afraid I can’t help you.” Zi Guang shook his head. “This filthy demon is no small thing. Even Yao Yan had to put in a lot of effort to kill it. If you swallow it all like this, he might get angry if something goes wrong. Good luck, Immortal Lord Fu Yun.”
“The immortal spirit Yao Yan on us can recognize us at a glance. If you really want to hide it from him, you might as well go to my master.” The lotus flower that had been sleeping with its head drooping in the immortal pool suddenly raised its head.
"Ouch!" Feng Wuyou was startled by him and patted his chest helplessly, "Immortal Lord Fengji, please give me a heads-up next time. You scared the soul out of me."
Feng Ji shook the petals, then lowered his head and became withdrawn.
“He’s been studying the scriptures lately, and he accidentally lost a piece of his primordial spirit while randomly cutting it. If you see it, please bring it back to him.” Zi Guang tapped the lotus buds that were gathered together with his fishing rod. “Stay away, you’re scaring all my fish away.”
Wei Feng and Feng Wuyou left the Immortal Pool. Feng Wuyou said, "The Goddess Ling Yin is a descendant of an ancient god. If she helps, Jiang Gu will definitely not be able to find out for a while."
Wei Feng said, "Master will at most scold me, but it's best not to disturb God Ling Yin."
As he spoke, he stopped at the entrance of Lingyin Immortal Palace.
Ling Yin's Dharma image lowered its eyes slightly. He keenly sensed the other party's gaze and had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in.
"Greetings, High God Lingyin." He bowed respectfully.
Ling Yin glanced at the foul odor emanating from him but remained silent.
Wei Feng raised his head and tentatively met her gaze: "Mother."
"What is it?" Ling Yin asked.
Wei Feng explained the matter concisely, adding at the end, "...So I would like to ask Mother for a small favor."
Ling Yin said calmly, "We can only keep it a secret for a few days."
Wei Feng's eyes lit up: "That's enough, thank you, Mother."
She raised her hand, and a gentle, ethereal light landed on Wei Feng. Wei Feng quickly bowed and then hurriedly left.
Yao Shuo then appeared, watching Wei Feng's departing figure, and said, "The number of evil demons in the void is constantly increasing. Yao Yan has indeed expended a lot of energy during this period. This kid knows how to take care of people."
“But Wei Feng’s actions are rather reckless, and could easily lead to disaster if he is not careful,” Ling Yin said in disapproval.
"He came out perfectly fine, didn't he?" Yao Shuo said with a smile. "Yao Yan taught him well, and of course, I also deserve credit."
Ling Yin glanced at him indifferently and said, "If Yao Yan finds out, he'll get another scolding."
Yao Shuo said, "It's better to be lively. Ever since these two boys ascended, they've been holed up in the sixteenth heaven every day, and we don't see them for ten days or half a month."
“Yaoyan was here just two days ago,” Ling Yin said.
"When did he arrive?" Yao Shuo asked.
“You were in Kyushu at the time,” Ling Yin said. “I asked you about it.”
Yao Shuo was finally satisfied: "Just call me and I'll come back."
"It's nothing major," Ling Yin said calmly. "Yao Yan just came to discuss his relationship with Wei Feng as Daoist partners. From what I heard, he still wants Wei Feng to formally become a disciple first, and he wants me to call Hong Chen back."
"It's nothing serious?" Yao Shuo looked at her quietly.
Ling Yin said, "It hasn't been decided yet. Yao Yan means we'll discuss it together when you come back."
Yao Shuo was immediately even more satisfied: "What does Wei Feng mean?"
“Yaoyan originally planned to take him to Kyushu to tell him, but judging from the current situation, he will probably have to get a scolding first,” Ling Yin said. “The palace has prepared a lot of things needed for the ceremony, but Yaoyan wants to move the Seven Killing Flower Tree on the edge of the Demon Forest to Weifeng Palace.”
Yao Shuo: "...He really dares to think that way."
Ling Yin said, "Although Qi Sha has been gone for 300,000 years, he might return any day. If he finds out that his original body has been dug out, he might fight Hong Chen to the death."
“I met him when I was a child, and he had a very good temper,” Yao Shuo said. “It shouldn’t be that bad.”
"Why do you think he's named Seven Kills?" Ling Yin asked.
Yao Shuo said, "The one in the Endless Heaven isn't small either, but it can't absorb too much immortal energy. I'll ask Yuan Yao for a solution."
“We don’t necessarily need to move it,” Ling Yin said.
“That kid Wei Feng has been wanting it for a long time, but it’s just a tree.” Yao Shuo waved his hand. “Leave this to me.”
Ling Yin said, "Yao Yan said the same thing."
Yao Shuo cupped his hands and bowed to her with a smile: "Of course, this matter still needs the approval of the High God Ling Yin."
——
Wei Feng entered the door right on time.
Jiang Gu kept his promise and did nothing, only smiling slightly when he entered.
Wei Feng felt a chill run down his spine. Jiang Gu rarely smiled. Whenever his master smiled, it meant either he was about to take someone's life or he was about to plot against someone. The former meant a slightly easier death, while the latter meant a fate worse than death. The last time his master smiled like that, he couldn't climb Qingping Peak for three years. He was forced to cultivate day and night and was forced to ascend to Dao Ancestor status after five years.
Not good.
Wei Feng forced himself to remain calm and sat down opposite him, then tactfully picked up the teapot beside him and poured him some tea: "Master, have some tea."
Jiang Gu glanced at him indifferently.
Wei Feng handed him the teacup.
"Did you go to your mother's?" Jiang Gu took the tea and took a sip.
Wei Feng said casually, "It's been a long time since I've been there, so I'll just stop by and see her."
"What did she say to you?" Consultant Jiang asked.
Wei Feng smiled and said, "It's nothing, just that I should go out more."
Jiang Gu glanced at him: "You went to the back garden too?"
"Haha, I'll go check on Canglong and bring him a rabbit to eat." Wei Feng continued to pour him tea.
"Did you also bring a rabbit for Ziguang?" Jiang Gu asked unhurriedly.
Wei Feng forced a smile and said, "I just happened to pass by the Immortal Pond and fed the koi in it."
Jiang Gu smiled slightly: "You've accomplished quite a lot in just a quarter of an hour."
Wei Feng quickly checked his primordial spirit and, after confirming that it was not tainted by any impurities, he felt relieved. He boldly walked around the table, sat down next to Jiang Gu, and then took out a white, openwork eggshell from his storage bag. The buildings, flowers, and trees on the eggshell were exquisitely detailed and lifelike.
“Master, I carved this myself. With just a little bit of immortal spirit, this eggshell can be enlarged into the shape of a palace. My immortal spirit is stored inside, so even in the void it will feel like the sixteenth heaven. I also planted a Seven Killing Tree in the center. I’m giving it to you.” He looked at Jiang Gu expectantly.
Jiang Gu took the eggshell and examined it in his palm for a while, then asked, "How long did it take to carve?"
"Five or six years, I guess." Wei Feng looked at him obediently and expectantly.
He originally planned to give it to Jiang Gu on his birthday this year, but now he has decided to bring it out to curry favor.
Unfortunately, Jiang Gu accepted the gift but showed no appreciation: "What else do you have? Bring it out as well."
Wei Feng stared at him suspiciously, then took out a crystal-clear luminous pearl from his sleeve and placed it in front of him: "This is something I made using the immortal spirit of the Divine Kite Shark. It can store immortal spirit and also solidify the soul. I originally intended to make it into a magic artifact."
He then took out a jade pendant: "Your name is engraved on this."
Then he pulled out a variety of other things: flower seeds he had collected from the Endless Heaven, furs he and Feng Wuyou had hunted in the Demon Forest at dawn, cultivation techniques he had obtained with his merits, a bunch of small puppets that had not yet been imbued with spirits, shark scales and feathers he had accumulated, many immortal spirits and pills he had taken from Jiang Gu, as well as a few pieces of Jiang Gu's clothing, Jiang Gu's memory stone...
Seeing that he was going on and on about to start taking things out, Jiang Gu interrupted him, picked up a small, un-spirited puppet, and asked, "What are you doing collecting so many puppets?"
"If I accidentally make you angry, I'll release one." Wei Feng infused it with a trace of immortal spirit, and the little puppet seemed to come alive. It hugged Jiang Gu's finger, lowered its head and gently kissed his fingertip, then knelt in his palm and bowed.
Jiang Gu was silent for a moment, then saw all the little puppets open their eyes, jump onto his shoulders, jump onto his legs, crawl into his sleeves, and swing back and forth, pulling on the fabric of his clothes.
Jiang Gu raised his hand, and all the immortal spirits in the small puppets returned to Wei Feng. He said, "There's no need for these little tricks. Why did you go to the void to kill the evil demon on your own?"
Wei Feng was surprised that he had seen through him at a glance. He touched his nose and said, "Those things are really annoying. They always keep you from sleeping well."
Jiang Gu was taken aback: "Just because of this?"
Wei Feng nodded, then realized what he meant: "Master, you don't actually think I want to cleave the Heavenly Gate, do you?"
"You don't want to?" Jiang Gu looked at him.
Wei Feng said helplessly, "Of course I want to, but everything has its balance. Even if I split the Heavenly Gate, other manifestations of the Heavenly Dao will appear. It's better to leave the Heavenly Gate as it is."
Jiang Gu had originally considered many possibilities and even made preparations. If Wei Feng really didn't like Tianmen, then it wouldn't hurt to change to another one. However, his reason was as simple as it could be.
It's just because he can't sleep well.
“Those filth have become demons. I feel uncomfortable even when I come into contact with them. Your primordial spirit is extremely yang and pure, so you must feel a hundred or a thousand times worse than me… But don’t worry, Master, I’ve thought of a good way. Instead of immediately devouring those filth, I’ll slowly transform them into spiritual power. Although it’s slower, it won’t damage your primordial spirit.” Wei Feng held his hand and said somewhat dejectedly, “It’s just that I can’t cultivate with you or have spiritual communion with you for the time being.”
Jiang Gu was both annoyed and amused.
The fact that this wicked person could endure the pain of not engaging in dual cultivation shows that they must have made a very strong decision.
"I won't dare to do it again next time." Wei Feng was relieved to see that he wasn't really angry. He should have just come back and knelt down to admit his mistake, so as not to have to go through so much trouble. However, he privately thought that the egg carving had also contributed a lot, but in the end, it was because his master loved him too much.
Jiang Gu vaguely knew what was going on in his head, and knew that what he said was as good as nothing, but he still nodded: "Don't do it again."
This means that the matter will not be pursued.
Wei Feng immediately beamed and pulled him outside: "Master, let's find an open space, I'll take you inside that eggshell to take a look."
Jiang Gu was pulled out the door by him, and stopped in her tracks as she watched his cheerful figure disappear into the distance.
Wei Feng turned his head in confusion, only to see Jiang Gu's expression cold and unreadable. He immediately went through everything he had done before, and after confirming that nothing had been hidden from Jiang Gu, the suspicion in his eyes deepened: "Master?"
Jiang Gu released his hand and stood in the courtyard, speaking calmly: "You shall rest here for the next few days."
Wei Feng was stunned: "Master, are you going to put me in solitary confinement?"
“You are now a Celestial Lord of the Upper Heavens, in charge of a palace. How can you be confined at will?” Jiang Gu said.
"Was my primordial spirit secretly injured?" Wei Feng's heart skipped a beat.
"No," Jiang Gu denied.
Wei Feng met his cold gaze and suddenly realized, "Master, actually I can use some methods to shield myself from that foul energy. If you really want to cultivate with me—"
"Wei Linming." Jiang Gu
Wei Feng said seriously, "Spiritual communication is also acceptable."
Jiang Gu: "..."
Wei Feng reluctantly said, "Master, we finally got a few days off to rest. It'll be a long time before we can find you again. Let's go out for a walk. Otherwise, just watching you in the courtyard makes me want to—"
"No," Jiang Gu interrupted him.
Wei Feng stared at him with some confusion.
A bright red invitation card slowly appeared in Jiang Gu's hand and was handed to him.
Wei Feng took it, and in that short time imagined countless possibilities. The moment he opened it, he was momentarily stunned by the golden light inside, and then he heard Jiang Gu say:
"To seek a marriage partner in the Heavenly Realm, one must first send a formal invitation to the elders of the other party. Since you have no elders in your palace, and I am your master, I have accepted the invitation on your behalf. This is the marriage certificate."
Golden light transformed into countless paper kites that circled around Wei Feng. He looked at Jiang Gu's handwriting on them: "Respect Heaven and Earth... Lin Ming Jin Yu, my heart is filled with admiration..."
My heart is captivated by him.
Before Wei Feng could even feel his surprise, he heard Jiang Gu's solemn yet gentle voice:
"Wei Feng, would you be willing to become my immortal couple?"
