Transmigration: The Peerless Immortal Husband

Chi Changye didn’t hesitate, using sword energy to sweep up the group and headed toward the signal’s direction.

Since they were already within the range of the Cangkun Hall, it didn’t take long to reach the scene. Gu Yao looked down and was startled. “It’s Sister Tao and the others! They’ve come too. This is bad, Sister Du is injured!”

As soon as his words fell, Chi Changye had already landed with them on the ground and rushed into the encirclement of other cultivators. Tao Yue, seeing that it was Gu Yao and the others who had arrived first, smiled a few times but then began to cough. She was barely holding on and, once she relaxed, collapsed onto the ground.

The people surrounding them were stunned when they saw that it was Chi Changye and Gu Yao who had arrived. How could they not recognize these two weak cultivators who were connected to Chi Changye, the killing god? If they had known earlier, they wouldn’t have been so ruthless. Thinking this, they cupped their hands and said, “So it’s Senior Daoist Chi’s friends. We will leave now and apologize for the previous offense.”

With that, they turned to leave, but Tao Yue called out from behind, “Senior Brother Chi, stop them! We were the first to find the alchemy furnace and wanted to keep it to give to Senior Brother Gu, but they came in and took it without a word, and not only that, they even threatened our lives! That furnace was taken by the man in the gray robe!”

When Tao Yue mentioned the alchemy furnace, Chi Changye acted immediately. A sword strike blocked the path of the men who had stepped forward. One more step and they would have had their feet sliced off by the sword energy.

Once they arrived, Chi Changye searched thoroughly, always hoping to find a place like a pill room to get a better-quality alchemy furnace for Gu Yao. With his current cultivation level, the furnace Gu Yao had was already lagging behind.

Now that he had learned about the furnace, these people wouldn’t be allowed to leave without leaving something behind.

Chi Changye coldly said, “Leave the item behind, and you can leave. Otherwise, none of you will leave.” In other words, he would simply take what he needed from their bodies.

The gray-robed cultivator was furious. They had initially seen that Tao Yue and Du Lingdai looked relatively fine, so they had the thought of teasing them. However, they hadn’t eliminated them earlier, and now Tao Yue had exposed their intentions. Asking them to hand over the high-quality alchemy furnace felt like they were being forced to give up their own flesh.

They had realized that the furnace was already beyond the level of a magical tool and was likely a spiritual weapon. How much good fortune could be gained by taking it back? That’s why they hadn’t hesitated to snatch it from the two female cultivators.

The gray-robed cultivator, unwilling to give up, said, “Chi Changye, don’t be too arrogant. You’ve offended so many people—have you thought about what will happen to you after you leave this secret realm?”

“Tch!” Tao Yue cursed angrily. “We’re not as strong as you. You took it from us, and we didn’t even argue that you were bullying us. Now the situation has changed, and you’re saying that Senior Brother Chi is bullying you with his strength? Do you still have any shame?”

The gray-robed cultivator was livid and cursed in his heart at the woman for not being dealt with earlier. However, seeing Chi Changye about to draw his sword, he could only resentfully take out the furnace and throw it toward Gu Yao and Chi Changye. Chi Changye swept it up with a flick of his sleeve, and the few cultivators quickly fled, afraid that if they were a moment too late, they would be left behind.

Only then did Tao Yue feel relieved. “This is the furnace. It looks like this was supposed to be an alchemy room. The pills inside are all useless, and the spiritual herbs are also no good. The only thing left is this furnace, which is perfect for Senior Brother Gu to refine pills.”

Tao Yue and Du Lingdai had received a lot of help from Gu Yao and Chi Changye, so they did indeed want to leave the furnace for Gu Yao. They hadn’t expected to be in such a dangerous situation, but it was Gu Yao and Chi Changye who had come to their rescue. It could be said that the furnace rightfully belonged to Gu Yao.

Chi Changye examined the furnace to make sure it hadn’t been tampered with before handing it over to Gu Yao. Gu Yao observed the furnace, noticing that it contained a deep, restrained spiritual glow. The intricate and mysterious patterns on its surface were breathtaking, and the formation runes inside were seamlessly integrated. The more he looked, the more he liked it. “Thank you, Sister Tao and Sister Du. I really like it. When we leave this place, just tell me what pills you need, and I’ll make sure to get them for you.”

Tao Yue and Du Lingdai exchanged smiles and said in unison, “Alright, we won’t be polite then.” A promise from a genius eighth-grade alchemist was worth a lot.

Tao Yue and Du Lingdai had only arrived after the Cangkun Hall’s formation had disappeared, and they hadn’t been able to meet up with the others.

Because Du Lingdai was injured, Gu Yao and the others temporarily took the two of them with them. Once Du Lingdai recovered, they would part ways. Tao Yue felt that they had gotten lucky in misfortune; otherwise, she worried that once Chi Changye left, the other cultivators would come looking for them.

They continued to sweep through the area, and with information from other cultivators from the Tianlin Continent, they learned that there was a Master Hall in Cangkun Hall, so they headed there.

The further they went, the more The Crystal Snake shrank into Little Fatty’s sleeve. Tao Yue and the others didn’t understand, but Gu Yao and the others knew that the presence that made The Crystal Snake afraid was likely located in the Master Hall. So, they remained on high alert.

Along the way, there were several conflicts, all of which were disputes over treasures. Whenever they encountered cultivators from the Tianlin Continent who had been wronged, Gu Yao and the others would rescue them. Of course, they didn’t involve themselves in the distribution of the treasures. The cultivation world was one where the strong prey on the weak. If someone didn’t have enough strength to protect themselves, even if they got their hands on something, it would only bring trouble.

Because of this, when they obtained the alchemy furnace earlier, Chi Changye hadn’t immediately acted against those cultivators. Instead, he had just taught them a lesson. The reality was that cultivators from the Tianlin Continent were generally weak, and all Gu Yao and the others could do was lend a helping hand to preserve some strength for the Tianlin Continent. They couldn’t protect every cultivator from the continent.

Where there were conflicts, there would inevitably be bloodshed and death. Right now, a cultivator was using a teleportation talisman to fly quickly toward the outside of Cangkun Hall, with several other cultivators closely chasing after them. It was obvious that the fleeing cultivator had obtained a treasure.

In the blink of an eye, both parties flew past them, and it was uncertain whether the cultivator in the front could escape and save his life.

What the main hall of Cangkun Hall looked like didn’t need to be introduced. Once they arrived, everyone would understand. The majestic palace before them was the main hall of Cangkun Hall. Standing outside, they appeared so small in comparison. The three large characters hanging above the entrance were so imposing that they were almost unapproachable. A careless glance could even lead to a backlash.

Solemn, majestic, and sacred beyond desecration—that was the aura that Cangkun Hall exuded. But at the same time, there was also a sense of grandness and inclusivity hidden within, which made anyone who arrived here feel a deep respect. The Crystal Snake even shrank its head into Little Fatty’s sleeve, too afraid to peek out.

The materials used to build the main hall were even more astonishing. Whether it was the flooring or the columns, if they were taken outside, they would spark a scramble among cultivators. For instance, the two dragon-coiling pillars in front of the entrance—one cultivator was crouched on top of one, muttering, “This is fragmentary molten crystal, which can be used to forge spiritual weapons. The entire pillar is made of it!”

It was clear that the extravagance and waste before him had nearly triggered his outrage. A small piece the size of a baby’s fist could fetch an astronomical price, yet here it was being used as construction material. However, when he tried to pry off the molten crystal, he accidentally triggered the restriction on the pillar, and he was flung away. This time, he really spat blood. He could see and touch the material, but he couldn’t take it, which caused him to pound his chest in agony.

Tian Feirong walked past him and smirked. “This guy must be a weapon refiner.”

Someone nearby chuckled. “Someone’s tried this before, but they didn’t believe it. Someone even tried to pry up the floor tiles, but as you can see, the floor tiles are still intact—nothing missing.”

Gu Yao laughed and shook his head. Perhaps in the past, these rare materials, though not commonly seen, were still relatively easy to obtain, which led to such casual usage. However, non-renewable resources would always grow scarcer the more they were used.

The group stepped into the main hall. From a side hall, they heard sounds of fighting. As they approached, they saw several protective light shields inside, each containing the same kind of item. Some had jade slips, some had magical tools—at least spiritual weapons—and there were also pills. The spiritual light emanating from the pills indicated that they hadn’t lost their potency.

“That’s a Ningying Pill!” It was Xu Chen’s voice in Gu Yao’s mind. Gu Yao focused on it, surprised.

He noticed that Chi Changye’s gaze was also lingering on the pill. He quietly asked, “Brother Ye, you recognize the pill?”

Chi Changye nodded. “That’s a Ningying Pill, a pill used to help solidify the Nascent Soul.”

Many of the cultivators present gasped at this revelation. The two parties fighting were both from the same sect, Changxian Sect. They weren’t fighting for themselves but for the sect, trying to bring the Ningying Pill back. This indicated that Ningying Pill wasn’t something that could be easily obtained.

Tao Yue and Du Lingdai, who were following behind, widened their eyes in astonishment. To them, Golden Core cultivators were already out of reach, and now they were seeing a pill that could assist in forming the Nascent Soul. It felt like listening to an unknown story—they never imagined Ningying Pill would look like this.

Seeing that the Tianlin Continent cultivators had clueless expressions, the Changxian Sect cultivators gave them disdainful looks. However, some were surprised to glance at Chi Changye. They hadn’t expected him to recognize such a pill. Could it be that he had encountered it before or seen related descriptions?

Although the treasures here were on a different level compared to those outside, even Chi Changye wasn’t moved, let alone Tao Yue and the others. They didn’t even know if they could successfully form a pill, much less expect to solidify their Nascent Soul. Even if they managed to get their hands on the Ningying Pill, they wouldn’t be able to use it. As for the other treasures, they were of similar quality, so they decided to just satisfy their curiosity and move on.

Gu Yao glanced at Chi Changye, and the two of them walked towards another side hall, leaving the Changxian Sect cultivators to fight over the treasures.

The side hall was empty, with a few cultivators coming in, circling around, and then leaving. They figured it was better to look elsewhere for something useful rather than wasting time here.

Gu Yao and the others also spread out to explore the hall, with Chi Changye staying close to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao’s attention was drawn to a painting on the wall. It was a very ordinary landscape painting, but for some reason, he felt there was something hidden beneath the serene landscape. The longer he stared, the more it seemed elusive. Without thinking, he reached out to touch it.

As soon as his hand made contact with the painting, a whirlpool suddenly formed within it, pulling his arm inside.

“Xiao Yao!” Chi Changye quickly grabbed his arm.

“Gu Yao!” Tian Feirong and Little Fatty also rushed over in a hurry.
