Transmigration: The Peerless Immortal Husband

After looking through all the pills, Tian Feiyang felt as if his heart were numb, and he had a strange feeling of seeing too much and finding it all unbelievable.

When he came out, his senior brothers and sisters were sitting in a circle, talking. Tian Feiyang was the only new disciple to have entered. These older disciples were both trying to be friendly and subtly distancing themselves from him. They didn’t dare to openly suppress him, after all, Tian Feiyang had a senior in the Foundation Establishment stage watching over him.

This time, however, they greeted him warmly.

“Junior Brother Tian, I heard that there’s a pill alchemy genius appearing at the Immortal Ascension Conference this time?”

“I heard that this pill alchemy genius didn’t choose Cuiyan Valley, even rejecting the direct disciple of Master Hu to join Tianfu Academy instead? I also heard that Tianfu Academy has been circulating a lot of beauty and skincare pills, all developed by this genius. Is that true?”

“I heard that this pill alchemy genius is even selling ninth-grade high-level pills at Tianfu Academy, and they’re all top-tier pills. Is that true?”

The questions came one after another, leaving Tian Feiyang unsure of how to respond. Though he didn’t know much, he could boldly guess that the pill alchemy genius they were referring to must be Gu Yao himself. The pills he had received were indeed from Gu Yao.

Looking at it this way, the alchemist who had secretly sold top-grade Bi Hua Pills during the search for them in Shifang City must have been Gu Yao. Tian Feiyang felt both proud and somewhat ashamed. His younger brother’s vision was far sharper than his own. He had always thought that he had given Gu Yao enough credit, but now he realized that if this wasn’t the definition of genius, no one would be worthy of that title.

“I’m not very sure either. I only heard about it when the senior brothers and sisters were talking. To be honest, I was planning to find a way to make acquaintance with him myself,” Tian Feiyang laughed.

“That’s true. If it were me, I’d also want to make friends with a future master of pill alchemy. Such a rare opportunity can’t be asked for. Whoever gets to know this alchemist will truly be set for life!” The disciple speaking had a look of envy and longing on his face, causing Tian Feiyang to instinctively pat the storage pouch on his body. Inside, it contained pills personally refined by the future master of pill alchemy.

Tian Feiyang thought to himself, wondering if this news would reach Yuanyang Town and whether the Gu family there would realize that the pill alchemy genius was actually Gu Yao. If it did get back, it would certainly be quite interesting.

The Gu family had given up a golden opportunity that could have allowed the entire family to rise.

Tian Ru called Tian Feiyang over and asked, “The pill alchemy genius they’re talking about… could it be that young man from the Gu family?”

She thought for a moment, recalling that among the new disciples at Tianfu Academy, only Gu Yao seemed to have good pill alchemy skills, but she wasn’t sure. After all, Gu Yao had the rare four spirit roots.

Tian Feiyang hesitated slightly before saying, “I’m not sure, but Gu Yao’s cultivation is already at the sixth level of Qi Refining.”

Tian Ru waved her hand and said, “Forget it. It’s pointless for me to ask now. Go rest.” “Yes, Aunt.”

Tian Feiyang left, subconsciously hiding the matter of the pills from his aunt. He could tell that she still didn’t fully believe in Gu Yao’s potential and talent, so it was better not to bring it up. Moreover, Gu Yao had already entered Tianfu Academy, which made his future in Tianhai Sect a certainty.

Tianfu Academy.

Late at night, after finishing his meditation and cultivation, Gu Yao climbed into bed.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a misty space. The fog was thick like cotton, quite different from the ghostly fog created by the ghost fog worms he had encountered before. His intuition told him that it wouldn’t cause any harm, so he decided to walk forward in one direction. A stone path began to spread out under his feet.

As his vision cleared, he saw four black pillars with scales at the end of the stone path. Just as Gu Yao was curious and about to approach them for a closer look, a massive head suddenly emerged from above, giving him the feeling that if the giant mouth exhaled, it could blow him straight into the clouds.

Gu Yao was startled and quickly jumped several steps back. Only then did he realize that the four black pillars were actually the monster’s limbs. “You… What kind of monster are you?”

In the next moment, the distance between him and the monster rapidly expanded. The stone path beneath his feet disappeared, and both he and the monster were now standing in the void. Black flames appeared beneath the monster’s four legs, lifting the beast toward him. Its enormous mouth opened wide.

“You ignorant child, lowly bipedal beast, I am the great Black Yan Beast, born of the heavens and earth, ruling all realms with unparalleled power. Kneel and pay your respects immediately!”

“Black Yan Beast?” Gu Yao focused and looked carefully, “Isn’t this exactly what Brother Ye described? Could it be that what I think about during the day manifests in my dreams at night? Brother Ye did mention it during the day, and now I am indeed having this dream. Alright, alright, just go away, don’t disturb my sleep. Be good.”

The Black Yan Beast was furious, its nostrils flaring with fire. In the blink of an eye, it burned all the mountains, rivers, and everything around it to ashes. “I am the great Black Yan Beast! If you don’t change your tone, I will burn you alive! I will scratch you to death!”

“Huh?” Gu Yao exclaimed. “It really hurts! How can it hurt even in a dream? Hurry up and leave my dream! My dream is mine to control. Go somewhere else to live out your delusional fantasies.”

“Ahhh!!!”

“Meow meow meow meow!!”

Gu Yao was awakened by a series of meowing sounds. He rubbed his forehead as he woke up. He had seen many teenagers suffering from delusions of grandeur in the Interstellar World, constantly dreaming of being the most important person in the universe. But he never expected that a monster would barge into his dream and act so arrogantly.

“Xiao Yao, are you alright?”

“Huh? Brother Ye, how did you come in?” This was Gu Yao’s room, and the formation and restrictions in the room were not set up to guard against Chi Changye. “What are you holding in your hand? A kitten? Brother Ye, you’re squeezing its neck, it’s making it uncomfortable.”

“Meow meow meow?” The cat’s meow sounded a little pitiful.

Chi Changye shook the black kitten in his hand and said, “Xiao Yao, what just happened? Were you trapped in a dream?”

As soon as he was reminded, Gu Yao recalled the absurd dream he had just had. Even now, thinking back on it, it was still so vivid. He couldn’t help but laugh, describing the scene in the dream to Chi Changye. In Gu Yao’s words, the monster that claimed to be the Black Yan Beast was not much different from a delusional teenager with a superiority complex. A bipedal beast? The great Black Yan Beast? It was so funny.

The black kitten’s legs drooped down, looking utterly disheartened.

A soft smile flickered in Chi Changye’s eyes. He had sensed a strange fluctuation here and came over. After failing to wake Gu Yao, he realized that Gu Yao had been trapped in a dream. It was clear that all of this was caused by the black kitten.

“Xiao Yao, did you think that what you think about during the day manifests in your dreams at night?”

“Huh? Isn’t that the case?” Gu Yao asked, surprised.

Chi Changye shook the black kitten in his hand and said, “If I’m not wrong, it should be related to this little one. Now we can confirm that it does have some connection to the Black Yan Beast. It’s the one manipulating your dreams, though it shouldn’t have played a major role.”

If Chi Changye hadn’t come, this black kitten wouldn’t have been able to achieve its goal. Naturally, he wasn’t comfortable leaving it unchecked.

“It?” Gu Yao pointed at the black kitten in surprise, then thought of what Chi Changye had said about the Black Yan Beast. Could it really be the one?

Gu Yao thought that what he had already experienced was strange enough, but he never expected something even more bizarre. A cat could actually enter a person’s dream and talk to them, acting so arrogantly. He took the black kitten from Chi Changye’s hand and began to squeeze and rub it, pulling at its little ears as he said, “So, you’re saying that what I dreamt about just now was your doing? You made yourself look like some fierce beast to scare me?”

The black kitten rolled its eyes weakly. That was its mighty true form! These lowly bipeds really lacked vision, treating it like an ordinary kitten—what a disgrace!

Chi Changye’s gaze flickered as he said, “Let’s form a contract. Otherwise, I won’t feel safe letting you stay by Xiao Yao’s side. What do you think, kitten?”

The black kitten stiffened, and disbelief was clear on its face: “Meow meow meow, you stupid biped! You think you deserve to form a contract with me? How bold!”

A dangerous, cold light flashed in Chi Changye’s eyes. “Otherwise? You want to stay by Xiao Yao’s side as a dangerous beast like this? You broke the rules first, so if you want me to trust you, you should form the contract.”

“Meow meow meow?” The black kitten softly mewed at Gu Yao. It seemed that this biped was very soft-hearted, unlike that cold, ruthless, and hateful guy.

Gu Yao pressed his lips together, glancing at the kitten, then shook his head without speaking. It was clear that Chi Changye was helping him, and everything he was doing was for his sake. Would he really go against Chi Changye’s wishes just because of a small kitten he had only been caring for a few days, whose origins were unclear?

Of course not.

The black kitten slid, its four limbs splaying out as it fell to the ground, playing dead.

Gu Yao sighed softly and said, “If you don’t like being bound by a contract, then just leave. Since you’re exceptional, you should be able to survive outside.”

Chi Changye’s gaze softened even more as he looked at Gu Yao, feeling reassured by his unwavering trust and support.

The irrelevant people and matters from the past no longer seemed so important.

The black kitten glanced at Gu Yao, then continued its dramatic “despair” act. Just when Gu Yao thought it was about to give up, the kitten slowly struggled to get up, hesitated for a moment, then crawled toward Gu Yao. It clung to his finger, showing its tiny sharp teeth. Just as Gu Yao was about to pull his hand away, he heard Chi Changye’s voice: “Don’t move. It’s acknowledging you as its master.”

Gu Yao obediently allowed the kitten to nibble at his finger, drawing out a little blood. Immediately, a complex pattern appeared on his finger and quickly disappeared. After that, a mysterious connection formed between him and the black kitten. At this moment, he could sense the kitten’s agitated emotions, and he couldn’t help but laugh as he gently patted its little head.

“This is an equal contract. From now on, the kitten cannot do anything harmful to you, Xiao Yao. Likewise, you must not harm it either. Only then can I feel at ease letting it stay by your side,” Chi Changye explained, ignoring the kitten’s angry little glare.

“Then…” Gu Yao wanted to say, did Chi Changye predict that the black kitten would manipulate his dreams, so he had been waiting for it to voluntarily fall into this trap, using this as a way to threaten it into willingly acknowledging him as its master?
