Transmigration: The Peerless Immortal Husband

As Tian Feirong was telling Gu Yao and Chi Changye about how the little fatty had become obsessed, the little fatty ran over with his hair in disarray, his face filled with excitement. Even Gu Yao was startled—this was truly a sight that made the little fatty look like he had gone a bit overboard.

“I did it!” the little fatty, completely unaware of the others’ emotions, danced around, announcing his success. “I really did it, the Four Symbols Killing Formation! It’s a killing formation designed specifically for the four of us!”

Gu Yao quickly brewed some spiritual tea, took out spiritual fruits and snacks, and told him to catch his breath and speak slowly. The spiritual tea had a calming effect, which Gu Yao felt was perfect for the little fatty’s current state.

The little fatty gulped down a large cup of tea and devoured two spiritual fruits full of energy. His excitement seemed to ease slightly, but he still enthusiastically took out a stack of formation plates and began explaining the principles and effects of the Four Symbols Formation.

The Qianhao Continent was different from the Tianlin Continent. There were many cultivators and other beings that could threaten their lives. So the little fatty thought about how to use formations to significantly increase the combat power of the four of them, and now, he had finally made progress.

As the little fatty explained, even Tian Feirong stopped mocking him. Listening to the formation’s effects, it seemed quite impressive. The little fatty had modified the Four Symbols Killing Formation based on their individual characteristics, making it centered around Chi Changye’s sword qi, with lightning, wood, fire, and earth as auxiliary elements. This offensive killing formation’s power was increased by five to ten times compared to usual formations of this type.

Tian Feirong stroked his chin and said, “It sounds really good. It keeps everyone’s unique traits and enhances their attack power with the formation.”

When the little fatty saw that Gu Yao, Chi Changye, and even Tian Feirong were showing interest, his face turned slightly red, and he finally came out of his frenzied state. He became a little embarrassed, scratching his face and saying, “But it requires all of you to cooperate and input your power into the formation plates. Right now, it’s still a half-finished product. Once it’s complete, the Four Symbols Killing Formation can only be used by the four of us together—it’s a human-formation fusion.”

“Not bad. You can direct us on how to do it. Let’s complete the Four Symbols Killing Formation as quickly as possible.” Chi Changye made the final decision. Although life in Baihe City seemed peaceful at the moment, he had a vague sense that a storm was approaching. So anything that could increase their strength was good.

“Oh, okay, okay!” The little fatty nodded foolishly. After Tian Feirong gave him a light tap on the head, he immediately snapped back to attention. However, when it came time to work, he was very serious, and his entire demeanor exuded a confident glow.

The little fatty was really putting in a lot of effort, Gu Yao thought to himself. Looking at the four of them, his combat power was the weakest, so the pressure on him was substantial. Now, he had finally found his place, which made him feel confident and fulfilled.

Since Tian Feirong cultivated the Fiery technique, he was in charge of fire, and Gu Yao took control of wood. His Lotus Heart Fire wasn’t as powerful as the Blue Flame, and the little fatty and Chi Changye didn’t need to choose—they infused their spiritual power into the formation plates. In the end, Chi Changye’s sword qi was added, and the Four Symbols Killing Formation was completed.

Originally, the Four Symbols Killing Formation was barely at the seventh grade, but now that it had been infused with the four of their powers and was controlled by them in the formation, it might reach the peak of the seventh grade, just a step away from sixth grade. It was truly astonishing.

For the next period, the four of them put aside their personal cultivation and focused on practicing the Four Symbols Killing Formation, training their teamwork to maximize the formation’s power. The one in charge of the formation was the strongest, Chi Changye. When he activated the full power of the formation, he could boost his strength to the peak of the Golden Core stage.

When they heard someone knocking on the door, the four of them exited the formation. Chi Changye stored the formation away, then saw who it was. He opened the protective formation to let the visitor in.

It was a subordinate of Steward Liu. Upon seeing the four, he quickly conveyed the message. “Steward Liu sent me specifically to inform you that someone has come to Baihe City, secretly asking about the whereabouts of the four seniors, particularly inquiring if any alchemists with special skills in pill refining have recently arrived. Steward Liu suspects that it might be Di Feng from the Tailuo Sect, trying to cause trouble for the seniors.”

They’ve finally found us!

The four of them simultaneously had this thought. It had been long enough, and the reason likely had to do with the fact that Gu Yao hadn’t openly sold any pills since he arrived. His pills were mostly traded privately with the City Lord’s residence, and the City Lord’s residence had kept it quiet, which helped conceal their whereabouts up to this point.

They had previously heard from Steward Liu and the Young City Lord that people from nearby towns had been probing into their whereabouts. They must have searched everywhere else and, not finding them, had now turned their attention to Baihe City.

“This guy, he’s really persistent. He won’t stop until he finds us,” Tian Feirong muttered with displeasure.

It’s really troublesome. If we don’t deal with this guy, he’ll follow us everywhere. Only the unique environment of Baihe City with its lake island has kept them undisturbed so far. Of course, it also had a lot to do with the protection of the City Lord’s residence.

Chi Changye pondered for a moment before saying, “Thank you for informing us. Also, there’s one more thing we need Steward Liu’s help with. If possible, could you ask Steward Liu to find out where Di Feng is currently? We don’t need an exact location, just a general direction will suffice.”

“Understood, I will pass it along to Steward Liu. I’ll take my leave now.”

Gu Yao saw the visitor off and gave him a bottle of pills. The visitor was overjoyed. The people working for them actually didn’t mind running errands for the boss. After all, Master Yao’s pills were too good. They were also regretful that these few couldn’t stay in Baihe City permanently, so whoever got their hands on the pills would hide them and keep them secret.

Soon after, Young City Lord Liu also sent a message, clearly aware of the situation, and asked Gu Yao if they needed any assistance from the City Lord’s residence.

“Brother Chi, what should we do next? Should we leave here?” Tian Feirong asked. Although life here was really good, he had a feeling things wouldn’t stay calm for long. First, there was Di Feng’s appearance, and next, Zhang Qianfeng might successfully condense his core. Their identities might soon be exposed, which would bring about significant problems. Even though the City Lord’s residence was offering protection, staying here might still attract endless trouble.

Chi Changye glanced at Gu Yao and nodded to them, saying, “Yes, get ready to leave at any time. We just need to find out Di Feng’s whereabouts. It’s also a good chance to test the power of the Four Symbols Killing Formation—let’s use him to try it out.”

The little fatty immediately became excited upon hearing this. Of course, he was thrilled to test the power of his formation.

Gu Yao relayed their decision to Young City Lord Liu. Liu Yue, along with Steward Liu, was waiting together. After hearing the update, Steward Liu sighed and said, “Young City Lord, this is the inevitable outcome. I also heard something: Mu An, who has a grudge with Master Yao and the others, seems to be in contact with people from the Changxian Sect recently. So, it’s very wise for them to leave now.”

“Rather than waiting until they’re at a dead end, it’s better to act now, while the initiative is still in their hands. They can hide in the shadows and buy themselves more time to grow stronger.”

Liu Yue understood this reasoning. However, it was rare to meet someone she could get along with and also let down her guard. Now, they had to leave, and she felt a bit reluctant. “Steward Liu, you’re right. They have their own paths to follow, and I too have my own journey ahead. But I still hope that after they leave, our people won’t lose contact with them.”

Steward Liu and Steward Qi both nodded in agreement. This was also what they hoped for. The City Lord’s residence had connections and influence, which was something Gu Yao and his group lacked. They also had things that the City Lord’s residence needed—Gu Yao’s alchemy skills and Chi Changye’s strength. If Chi Changye and the others grew stronger in the future, Baihe City would have a powerful external ally.

Soon, the City Lord’s residence sent over the information Gu Yao needed, along with a token. With this token, Gu Yao and his group could receive assistance at certain locations. Chi Changye took it without showing any expression, thanking the messenger.

Afterward, the four of them didn’t delay. They packed up their belongings and dispersed into two groups, leaving Baihe City as ordinary cultivators. They planned to meet near the location where Di Feng had been found.

Once they left, the City Lord’s residence sealed off Mingkong Island. Whenever Gu Yao and his group returned, the island would still be reserved for them, treated as their private island, with the City Lord’s residence managing it only when they were absent.

Di Feng wasn’t far from Baihe City at the moment. Baihe City was prosperous, which had driven the development of nearby towns and villages. Di Feng was currently in one of these small towns.

After being accidentally injured by Chi Changye at Hei Feng Cliff, Di Feng thought he would recover in a couple of days. However, the sword qi that had entered his body wasn’t so easy to expel. As long as even a trace remained, it would continue to cause damage inside him.

Initially, Di Feng hadn’t taken these four seriously. Now, he hated them deeply. He was determined to find them, torture them severely, and then wipe them out. Otherwise, the hatred in his heart wouldn’t be relieved. Di Feng, a man with a narrow mind who was vengeful, had been humiliated by these so-called “rats” he had underestimated. Now, he wanted to eliminate them as quickly as possible to ease his grudge.

“Master Uncle,” someone knocked on the door and reported, “We’ve sent people into Baihe City, and the message coming back is that there are no alchemists selling top-grade or supreme-grade pills in the city. Could it be that they never entered Baihe City at all? Also, is the news from Master Mu true? Are they really the ones on the Changxian Sect’s wanted list?”

Originally, Di Feng had been somewhat taking his anger out on Mu An. After all, this incident was sparked by Mu An, which caused Di Feng to lose face. After recovering from his injuries, Di Feng had planned to give Mu An something to do, to keep him from turning his attention towards himself. But then Mu An sent him a message: these four were actually wanted criminals by the Changxian Sect?

Di Feng had even obtained the wanted notice, and comparing the descriptions, there was indeed a high possibility. If the Changxian Sect had placed them on a wanted list, it meant they likely carried some big secrets. So, Di Feng decided that once he captured them, he would torture them to extract every secret they knew. As for whether or not to hand them over to the Changxian Sect, that was another matter.

Di Feng, as a disciple of the Tailuo Sect, didn’t take the Changxian Sect seriously, especially since he had been compared to Yan Yuanjing from the Changxian Sect. This only deepened his dislike for the Changxian Sect.
