Sigh…

Withdrawing his consciousness from the Soul-binding Order, Chu Liang let out a light sigh.

Fate, it’s truly unfathomable.

Initially, he had seized this Soul-binding Order by chance. Who would have thought that his undercover life could have a second spring?

Such an opportunity to infiltrate the Mingwang Sect was naturally impossible to refuse. Even if he reported it to his master or the higher-ups of Shu Mountain, they would still support this operation.

However, that was a matter for later. The Purple Gold Marquis would need some time to prepare to plant someone in the Bone Hall. Regardless of the dangers he would face, enhancing his own strength was always the most important thing. He must hurry to form his Golden Core!

A new storm had already appeared, he absolutely could not stand still!

However, the news just now reminded him of another matter.

When he was in the Misty Valley, he had exploded a divine soul from a Earth Fiend, which was stored in a jade pot. At that time, Luo Yao said that she would exchange it with other items later, so he just left it there without moving it.

Later, they parted in a hurry and forgot about this matter. Luo Yao might contact him later, but now he could check it first.

Chu Liang’s idea was… if he wanted to continue to go undercover, he was really lacking in divine powers similar to those of the Mingwang Sect.

In the Misty Valley, he didn’t dare to make a move in front of others, otherwise he would be exposed in an instant. But he couldn’t practice the evil divine powers of the Demon Sect. If he could have a powerful divine soul to protect his body, he could pretend to have the Soul-controlling Technique.

Thinking so, he took out the jade pot, placed it on the ground, and called out, “Hello? Sir?”

No response.

Chu Liang tried to put his hand on it and inject his true energy, but there were no array patterns that could be activated on this jade pot. It seemed to be just a storage device for nurturing divine souls.

How could he summon the old man out?

The Earth Fiend had summoned him that day by lighting a few incense sticks. But that was not ordinary incense, but the extremely precious Soul Saliva Incense, which was very expensive. Chu Liang couldn’t afford to buy it just to give it a try.

He turned it over and found no response, so he had to put it down again and said faintly, “It seems I can only try peeing into it.”

“How dare you, young man?!”

A roar of anger sounded from the jade pot, followed by wisps of green smoke, and a ghostly blue old man’s divine soul immediately drilled out. His soul body was quite solid, with long robes and sleeves, and real hair and beard. He was so angry at Chu Liang that he was blowing his beard and staring.

“Hehe, since the old gentleman has come out, the junior naturally dare not be rude.” Chu Liang said politely on his face.

At the same time, he cursed in his heart, this old man could hear everything, he just didn’t show up just now, he was deliberately holding him back.

“Cough.” The old man coughed lightly, resumed his arrogant posture, and said in a deep voice, “My surname is Fei, you can call me Mr. Fei.”

“Mr. Fei.” Chu Liang nodded.

“You are a junior and it’s your first time meeting me, it’s normal not to know my rules, I don’t blame you, now I’ll tell you.” Mr. Fei said.

“Okay, I’m grateful for your guidance, sir.” Chu Liang was still very polite.

The old man looked at Chu Liang, and he was also resentful.

That day, Chu Liang’s aura was heavily concealed, hard to see through, and the sword that killed the Earth Fiend was incredibly powerful. This scared him so much that he became Chu Liang’s captive without any resistance.

But now looking at Chu Liang again, he was clearly a small figure in the Divine Intent Realm! The sword he had used before was probably not his own strength, he must have borrowed some external force.

Thinking that he was actually scared off by such a junior, he felt very uncomfortable and felt very humiliated. Naturally, his tone towards Chu Liang was seven points cold.

“First, to summon me, you need three Soul Saliva Incenses each time.” Mr. Fei said, “Otherwise, I won’t show up.”

“Second, if you want me to take action for you, you need to exchange heavenly treasures that nourish the divine soul according to the degree of my action.”

Chu Liang listened and nodded obediently.

“Third, even if I do nothing, I need a Soul Saliva Incense to nourish my soul every day. I don’t know if you, a small figure in the Divine Intent Realm, can afford it.”

“Um…” Chu Liang frowned and pondered.

“Fourth, if you can’t afford it, you can find a new master for me as soon as possible. Now that I’ve told you the rules, don’t blame me for turning my face if you don’t follow them in the future.” He finally said ominously.

The threat was very strong.

After all, his divine soul power was comparable to the Sixth Realm. Even though he didn’t have a physical body, he was still much stronger than a cultivator in the Fifth Realm.

In front of this little disciple in the Divine Intent Realm, he really didn’t need to be too polite.

“Junior has remembered, I will consider it now, senior please go back first.” Chu Liang said with a smile.

“Humph.” Mr. Fei flicked his sleeve, turned his body into green smoke again, and drilled back into the jade pot.

Chu Liang stood up.

He picked up the jade pot on the ground, went straight out, turned over the hill, and came to Di Nvfeng’s loft.

“Master.” He called softly, “Disciple has something to ask for.”

“What is it?” Di Nvfeng was lazily dozing off, opened her eyes and asked.

“It’s a divine soul I picked up before, I want to have a simple chat with him.” Chu Liang came to the center of the hall, put down the jade pot again, and called out, “Mr. Fei!”

Whoosh——

Green smoke floated out of the jade pot again, the old man looked gloomy, “Didn’t I just say that it takes three Soul Saliva Incenses to summon me, didn’t you understand?”

“Yes, the junior didn’t remember.” Chu Liang smiled gently, “Please trouble the old gentleman to repeat what he just said.”

“Humph…”

Mr. Fei snorted coldly, seeming about to get angry. But suddenly, he noticed something wrong.

The surrounding environment seemed different?

The aura was also different…

He turned his head and saw a red-dressed woman sitting on the couch with her long legs crossed, squinting at him.

Oh no.

…”My surname is Fei, you can just call me Little Fei.”

The old man, with his head bowed and body slightly bent, exuded humility in every detail. He respectfully floated in front of Di Nvfeng.

Di Nvfeng lazily looked at him, “My disciple tells me you have many rules? Let’s hear them.”

“No, no, no, they are just some immature suggestions.” Mr. Fei said with a smile, “As for how to do it, it’s up to you. Your rules are the rules.”

“If I’m to decide, then you will obediently listen to my disciple from now on. If he tells you to go east, you are not allowed to go west. If he tells you to hit someone, you hit that person. Protect him well, and you’ll have a meal to eat. But if he makes a single mistake…” Di Nvfeng’s eyes flickered.

Swoosh.

A touch of purple-gold flame sparked at her fingertips.

Samadhi True Fire!

Upon seeing this spark, Mr. Fei immediately knelt in the void, daring not to show any arrogance.

Even if he was at the seventh realm, this Samadhi True Fire was the most lethal to their ghostly beings. If he was touched by it even slightly, he would be completely burned to ashes.

“I dare not, I dare not, I will absolutely obey your orders! I dare not make any mistakes!” He cried out repeatedly.

“Good to know.” Di Nvfeng finally retracted the spark with satisfaction.

“Sigh…”

Mr. Fei raised his head and said pitifully, “Actually, it’s not that I’m greedy, but now I’m a complete soul, different from ordinary ghosts. They can absorb power from the Yin energy, but the Yin energy in the world is full of mixed hatred, anger, pain, and other negative emotions. If I breathe in Yin energy for a long time, I will eventually become a real wandering ghost…”

“But every time I act, as long as I leave this jade pot, I will consume some of the power of my soul. If I fight with someone, the consumption is even more severe. If I act without replenishment, after a few times, I will be scattered…”

“That’s why I usually rest and nourish my soul in this jade pot. Every time I appear or act, I must replenish. It’s just a desperate attempt to survive.”

When he said this, his words were sincere, and it didn’t seem like he was lying.

Actually, Chu Liang had been wondering why this old soul was different from other ghosts. Hearing him say this, he asked, “Mr. Fei, what exactly is your situation now?”

Mr. Fei sighed leisurely, “It’s a long story…”

“Then make it short.” Di Nvfeng said impatiently.

“Alright.” Mr. Fei solemnly agreed.

Then he recounted his experiences.

His name was Fei Qi, originally a somewhat famous scholar in the northern region of the Yu Dynasty. He was from the Shenglong Academy and had been classmates with several elder Great Scholars.

However, his cultivation had been stuck at the sixth realm for many years, and he could never touch the threshold of the seventh realm. Although he could delay aging, he couldn’t extend his lifespan much. As the years passed, his lifespan was coming to an end.

At this time, he became anxious and gradually began to explore some unorthodox methods. After some painstaking research, he found that his soul was very complete, but the aging of his physical body could not be stopped. When the physical body decayed, the soul would lose its carrier and slowly dissipate.

So he wondered if he could create a method that would allow his soul to exist independently of his body.

But the extinguishing of life is a law of nature. When the candle burns out, where will the flame reside?

In order to study the way of the soul, he even joined some demonic sects under a false name to learn their heretical soul techniques. Finally, he tried to create a unique divine power.

Fei Qi called it the “Way of the Soul Immortal”.

To separate the soul from the body and survive in the world. This was an unprecedented way of cultivation, and he was full of trepidation. But if he didn’t try, he would definitely die. If he tried, he might live. In this situation, he immediately began to cultivate.

Separating from the body, the soul lives alone.

Although the soul was perfectly preserved and indeed escaped the constraints of the laws of nature without dissipating.

But at this time, he discovered a fatal problem, he could not cultivate. Because at this moment he was a soul, he could not breathe in true energy, he could only absorb Yin energy. But as he said, there are too many mixed and crazy negative emotions in the Yin energy.

The only difference between him and a ghost now is his completely clear consciousness. If he absorbs Yin energy for cultivation, wouldn’t he become a real ghost over time?

Then the Way of the Soul Immortal, named cultivation, is actually suicide.

Like the ghost of the former prime minister in the Misty Valley, even though his power was several times stronger than his, he was confused all day long, with only a single obsession left. How could that be called living?

If he didn’t want to end up like that, the only way for him to replenish his power was through heavenly treasures. For example, Soul Saliva Incense, or other Yin attribute treasures.

With his neither-human-nor-ghost appearance, it was extremely difficult to obtain resources. So he lived in the jade pot, temporarily serving as a battle soul for his host, in exchange for corresponding resources.

Over the years, he had experienced more than a dozen hosts, both righteous and evil, and finally ended up with Chu Liang.

After listening to his complicated experiences, the master and disciple were silent for a while.

After a long while, Di Nvfeng finally said in confusion, “After all this talk, aren’t you still just a ghost?”

“It’s different!” Mr. Fei shouted, “I am completely conscious!”

Di Nvfeng said, “A smart ghost?”

Mr. Fei said, “And I don’t have any negative emotions!”

Di Nvfeng said, “A happy ghost?”

“…” Mr. Fei’s eyes were filled with grief and indignation, but he dared not speak.Pausing for a moment, Chu Liang smiled and said, “Mr. Fei, since I will need your help in the future, I naturally won’t let you suffer. However, it’s too expensive to require three Soul Saliva Incenses every time you manifest. I believe you can’t actually consume that much. How about we make an agreement? I will replenish as much divine soul power as you consume. If I have extra power in the future, I will certainly help you achieve the path of the Soul Immortal. How does that sound?”

“Of course, that’s fine.” Mr. Fei glanced at Di Nvfeng, agreeing with a wronged expression on his face.

Replenishing as much as he consumed was equivalent to providing him with food and shelter without paying him any wages. He wouldn’t have any surplus. From now on, following Chu Liang would be like working for free.

He could only pin his hopes on the day Chu Liang promised to rise to prominence, hoping that he could also ascend to heaven with the chickens and dogs.

But Chu Liang had no choice. A divine soul comparable to the sixth realm would not consume a small amount of power. Just replenishing him was already a great pressure. In the future, he would definitely not summon him unless necessary.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Di Nvfeng threatened at the right time, “Since we’ve made an agreement, you can’t go back on your word. If anything happens to my disciple in the future, I will find you no matter where you are…”

“I’m really good at beating up old men.”
