Chapter 534: Tribulation-transferring Immortal Gu

We've arrived, right here.

Jian Fan brought Yan Buji to an open platform, where they saw two people lying nearby.

Tsk!

"Hey, the person isn't dead—are you really that disappointed?" Jian Fan heard the tsk, turned his head, and looked at Yan Buji strangely.

Yan Buji smiled slightly: "Please, Jian Fan, make your move."

Jian Fan glanced over, pointing at the fallen Gu Yue: "Don't lay a hand on her—she has Tribulation-transferring Immortal Gu on her; I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand her tribulation."

Tribulation-transferring Immortal Gu?

Before Yan Buji could ask, a figure suddenly appeared before the two of them.

Yan Buji's face changed drastically, and he retreated behind Jian Fan.

Roar....

That shadow was like a ghost, its body already rotted and decayed, leaving only a skin-covered skeleton resembling a monkey's. A broken sword hilt was lodged in its chest.

The hilt looked ordinary, like something a mundane Daoist would use for rituals, yet it emitted an aura that made Yan Buji tremble with fear, causing his hairs to stand on end and cold sweat to pour continuously.

Jian Fan stood before the controlled corpse and reached out his hand.

Roar!!

"Oh? You still know how to dodge? Back then I couldn't deal with your master, but I can't deal with you either?" Seeing the corpse dodge, Jian Fan laughed and chased after it.

Yan Buji also couldn't make out the battle scene; he simply crouched to one side, watching ahead warily.

By chance, Yan Buji saw that the unconscious Gu Yue's body seemed to emit a strange, magical light that protected her.

"Tribulation-transferring Immortal Gu? Gu Yue is merely a Golden Core cultivator—how could she activate an Immortal Gu?" Yan Buji felt doubtful.

However, he never understood Gu cultivation; perhaps her family left her a life-saving trump card.

As for Yu Fei nearby, he was in bad shape—half his body was nearly torn apart, his gear completely shredded, and blood pooled on the ground.

Seeing this, Yan Buji also felt fortunate to have met Jian Fan first; otherwise.....

Thinking of this, he also recalled his stolen treasures and Spiritual Stones, his mood turning complex.

After a while.

Jian Fan seized the corpse's weakness and, in an instant, pulled out the sword hilt from its chest.

Yan Buji's heart jolted violently!

Way of the Universe?

"Heh!" Jian Fan took the hilt, breathed a flame to burn the corpse clean, and walked over laughing.

"Congratulations." Yan Buji said with clasped hands.

Jian Fan snorted: "You're being hypocritical—you're so petty, I bet you still hold a grudge against us."

Yan Buji's face twitched.

"You guessed it, right?"

"I don't have it—don't spout nonsense!"

"You're just afraid I'll attack you, so you hide it and don't dare reveal it. Rest assured, I'm not that petty; even if you hold a grudge, I bear no killing intent toward you."

"I said I don't have it!"

"You're getting worked up."

Yan Buji was so angry smoke seemed to rise from his head; wanting to explain, he realized the other side seemed to be waiting for him to start scolding her.

Doesn't this prove that I hold a grudge against her, being petty?

Simply, Yan Buji stayed silent; Jian Fan waited a moment, looking disappointed.

Just then, Gu Yue rose from the side, her face pale; it seemed the earlier battle had wounded her badly, but compared to Yu Fei, who was near death, she was much better off.

"Yu Fei!"

Although Gu Yue also noticed the situation over here, Yu Fei simply cannot die now!

As they spoke, Gu Yue fed Yu Fei a large amount of Spiritual Pills and even used Gu techniques to temporarily seal his wounds.

Whoosh....

After doing all that, Gu Yue finally let out a breath; whether he lives now depends entirely on Yu Fei himself.

She turned and walked over, looking at the two: "Daoist Yuejin, you've come too?"

Yan Buji glanced at her lightly: "Gu Yue can come, but I cannot?"

"Of course not.... Who is this?"

"This is Jian Fan. This is Gu Yue, who came with me; and over there is Yu Fei of the Red Falcon Clan." Yan Buji explained.

Seeing how even the immensely powerful Yan Buji was so respectful toward this sudden little girl, Gu Yue also dared not be careless, and bowed: "I've paid my respects to Jian Fan."

"Hello, I'm Jian Fan. By the way, don't get too close—the Tribulation-transferring Immortal Gu's effect has just activated; don't let it implicate us." Jian Fan waved his hand.

Gu Yue's face changed, and she walked to the other side.

Just as she passed, it felt like someone punched her in the stomach; she clutched her belly and crouched down.

"What's wrong with her?" Yan Buji asked curiously.

"The Tribulation-transferring Immortal Gu's effect has activated, making her experience something like a mortal woman's menstruation." Jian Fan said.

Yan Buji looked bewildered: "Just that?"

"Not only that—look at all that tribulation on her; it'll likely last at least two or three years."

"What I mean is, is this the punishment the Tribulation-transferring Immortal Gu gives?"

Jian Fan turned his head: "You don't know the specific workings of the Tribulation-transferring Immortal Gu?"

Yan Buji shook his head.

Transfer Tribulation Immortal Gu is one of the secretly transmitted Immortal Gu of the Nan Ting Mountain Region Gu clan; it can turn encountered dangers into stored tribulation numbers, which involves the concept of fortune. You just treat the Transfer Tribulation Immortal Gu as having saved her life, then according to the magnitude of effort, and then return these controllable dangers in order.

There's still this kind of operation?!

Yan Buji could roughly understand, but was also greatly shocked!

Is this Transmute Tribulation Immortal Gu really that outrageous?

Yan Buji pondered: "The meaning is that although their fight with that corpse just now was dangerous, it wasn't fatal, so in terms of the Way of Fortune it doesn't count as a lethal crisis, so the danger of returning is this small?"

You're quick to understand. Moreover, I see she used the Immortal Gu technique centered on the Transmute Tribulation Immortal Gu, 'When extremes are reached, things turn for the better,' thereby turning the lethal danger into ordinary peril.

When extremes are reached, things turn for the better?

Yan Buji frowned: "The meaning... her Immortal Gu technique also affected Jianfan Fairy?"

And you—without you, I estimate we'd have to wait until they died before waking up.

Yan Buji suddenly realized: "This is the Way of Fortune?!"

"Not bad, as one of the supreme Dao, the Way of Fortune is just like that." Jianfan Fairy laughed.

Seeing her laugh so happily, Yan Buji also wondered if she perhaps knew some secret arts of the Way of Fortune.

Way of Wood, Way of the Universe, if one also understands the Way of Fortune....

Yan Buji dared not think: how could a cultivator have cultivated so many Law Dao Marks?

Gu Yue rose and cupped their hands: "Many thanks, Jianfan Fairy and Daoist, for your assistance. I don't know how you, Fairy, came to know our clan's secret art."

"It's not like I've never been to the Nan Ting Mountain Region; back then I even fought a member of your clan surnamed Yuan."

Yuan?

Gu Yue exclaimed in shock: "Could it be the Yuan clan? Jianfan Fairy... Senior Jianfan, do you still know someone from the Yuan clan?"

"Just call me Jianfan. I remember back then that guy... what was his name... oh right, Yuan Chongsheng. Do you know him?"

"Yuan Chongsheng... isn't that one of the seniors of the Gu clan?" Gu Yue's expression changed, realizing that this seemingly young Jianfan Fairy probably had an extraordinary background.
