220: Chapter 219 Using an outhouse as a dwelling? This is forcing me to relocate!

Crossing the South Heaven Gate, one arrives at the true Nine Heavens Palace.

It was truly worthy of being the core of the Immortal Realm; the Immortal Qi was thick as fog, with exotic flowers and grasses visible everywhere, cranes weaving through auspicious clouds, and in the distance, undulating jade towers and pavilions with treasure light soaring into the sky.

But Lin Feng was in no mood to admire the scenery, because the Immortal official who came to receive him had an attitude that could hardly be called good.

This Immortal official had a horse-like face with nostrils pointed toward the sky. Although he only had the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal Middle Stage, he put on airs when facing Lin Feng, who held the Immortal Emperor's imperial decree. His eyes wandered, as if he felt that even looking at Lin Feng for an extra second would dirty his own eyes.

"Lin Feng, is it? Follow me. His Majesty is currently in seclusion, contemplating the supreme Dao, and has no time to see you. You will stay in the side hall for now and wait for a summons."

The horse-faced Immortal official said coldly, leading Lin Feng all the way west.

At first, there were pavilions and towers all around, full of Immortal Qi. But as they went deeper, the path grew narrower, the weeds on the ground became more numerous, and the surrounding buildings became dilapidated.

The Immortal Qi became increasingly thin, replaced by an indescribable, foul stench permeating the air.

Finally, they stopped in front of a dilapidated, crumbling little courtyard.

The weeds in this courtyard were half a person's height, the walls were covered in moss, and one could even see a few unknown insects crawling about. The roof had several large holes, and when the wind blew, the teetering windows emitted a creaking, ghostly sound.

The worst part was that right next to this courtyard was a huge enclosure from which the roars of various beasts could be heard.

That nauseating stench was drifting over from next door—it was the waste disposal area of the Immortal Beast garden, and it was located downwind!

"We're here. This is your residence, 'Floating Cloud Pavilion'."

The horse-faced Immortal official covered his nose and waved his hand with an expression of disgust, as if trying to drive away the bad luck on his body. "Although this place is a bit remote, it has the advantage of being quiet. For someone who just came up from the Lower Realm, being able to live in the Nine Heavens is already a blessing from your ancestors. Don't be picky."

Lin Feng looked at the broken house, which was worse than a beggar's den in the Lower Realm, and smelled the thick "mixed fertilizer" scent in the air. He smiled, but his eyes were ice-cold.

"This is what you call a 'side hall'? Is this the Immortal Court's way of treating guests?"

"Guest? Are you worthy?"

The horse-faced Immortal official sneered, stepped closer, lowered his voice, and said in a tone only the two of them could hear:

"Kid, don't blame me for not warning you. Having offended the Seven Luminaries Immortal King, it's good enough that you have a place to sleep. This was originally an abandoned servant's room, which perfectly matches your status. I advise you to stay put and not run around, otherwise... Hehe, if someone dies here, no one will investigate."

After speaking, he tossed a token to lift the Restriction here, throwing it on the ground like trash, and turned to ride a cloud, intending to leave.

"Wait."

Lin Feng stopped him.

"What? It stinks? If it stinks, you can roll back down." The horse-faced Immortal official turned back impatiently, his eyes full of mockery.

"No, I'm very satisfied."

The smile on Lin Feng's face was uncannily bright. He picked up the token and gently patted the dust off it.

"The environment here is 'elegant' and the 'fragrance' is pungent; it is indeed a good place for Cultivation. Thank the person who arranged this place for me, and tell him that I will give him a big surprise. I hope he can handle it when the time comes."

"Psychopath."

The horse-faced Immortal official cursed, looked at Lin Feng as if he were an idiot, thinking this person had probably been driven mad by anger, then turned into a stream of light and fled quickly, as if staying for another second would shorten his life.

After he left, Huang Fugui, who had been holding his breath, crawled out of Lin Feng's arms and lay on the ground, retching violently:

"Ugh... Master, is this place meant for humans? This smell... it stings the eyes! Are they dismissing us like beggars? Although I, Huang Fugui, am a mink, I am a mink with dignity!"

"Beggars?"

Lin Feng sneered, his gaze passing over the dilapidated courtyard wall to look at the luxurious villa next door, which was shrouded in Immortal Qi and clearly guarded by an Advanced Formation.

According to the intelligence map Liu Ming gave him, that villa was named [Purple Star Court] and was a private property of the Seven Luminaries Immortal King in the Nine Heavens, specifically used for planting exotic flowers and grasses and entertaining distinguished guests.

There, the Spiritual Qi turned into mist, cranes danced, forming a sharp contrast with the "excrement flowing everywhere" on his side.

And his own broken courtyard had clearly been tampered with; not only was the underground Spiritual Vein cut off, but a Formation had been specially set up to aim the wind direction here, drawing all the waste gas from over there.

"Fugui, do you know what neighborly harmony is?"

Lin Feng said this while walking to the center of the courtyard, sitting cross-legged on a large rock that was still relatively clean.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Huang Fugui looked confused, wiping the bitter water from the corner of his mouth.

"It means that if a neighbor has surplus supplies, and we, as good neighbors, don't help them share a little, then it's our fault."

A cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He formed hand seals, and the Myriad Dao Furnace Sutra, which had been silent for a long time, began to operate.

This Cultivation Technique was incomparably overbearing, claiming that everything could be refined and everything in the Dao could be a furnace.

"Don't they think I have no Spiritual Qi here? Don't they want to smoke me to death with foul air? Then I'll let them know what a real 'Star-Absorbing Technique' is, and what a 'man-made disaster' is!"

"System! Turn the Myriad Dao Furnace Sutra to maximum power for me! Not just Spiritual Qi, but plant essence, earth vein Dragon Qi, as long as it has energy, suck it all over for me!"

"This time, if I don't suck the neighbor dry, I'll take the surname of that old bastard Seven Luminaries!"

[Ding! Host command detected!]

[Overclocking mode for the Myriad Dao Furnace Sutra activated!]

[Warning: This mode will cause irreversible damage to the surrounding environment.]

[High-concentration Spiritual Qi source (Purple Star Court) detected in the vicinity. Do you wish to perform a forced plunder?]

"Plunder! Suck it hard for me! Don't leave a single drop for him!"

Boom—!!!!

The next second.

Centered on this dilapidated little courtyard, a terrifying vortex, invisible to the naked eye but capable of causing space to tremble, suddenly took shape!

Lin Feng was like a giant human-shaped black hole at this moment!

The power of the Myriad Dao Furnace Sutra at Major Achievement, combined with Lin Feng's formidable foundation as a Golden Immortal, turned into a greedy gluttonous beast at this moment, opening its bloody mouth capable of swallowing heaven and earth!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

A violent wind rose!

The dense, thick clouds of Spiritual Qi that originally shrouded the sky above the [Purple Star Court] next door were forcibly locked down as if by an industrial range hood of super-high power, and came pouring toward Lin Feng's side like crazy!

It wasn't just Spiritual Qi!

In the Purple Star Court, the plant essence within those precious ten-thousand-year immortal flowers and Spiritual Plants were also forcibly extracted in an instant, turning into streaks of green light, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, merging into that vortex!

Even the foul stench of excrement from the Immortal Beast garden was directly swept into the high sky by this terrifying airflow, and then, under the influence of external forces, the wind direction was forcibly changed, blowing entirely toward... the direction of the Purple Star Court's reception hall!

In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The dilapidated courtyard where Lin Feng was located became so rich in Spiritual Qi that it liquefied, and a drizzling spiritual rain began to fall! Those dead weeds grew wildly in an instant, turning into Spirit Medicine; the dilapidated walls even began to take on a jade-like luster under the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi.

And that extremely luxurious Purple Star Court next door...

The originally immortal-looking courtyard was now devoid of Spiritual Qi, like a desert. The exotic flowers and grasses all over the garden withered and turned yellow, as if they had instantly experienced ten thousand years of vicissitudes.

Even worse, a thick, fermented mixed gas from the Immortal Beast garden was shrouding the sky above the Purple Star Court, lingering for a long time.

"Burp~"

Huang Fugui inhaled a mouthful of rich Spiritual Qi, rolled around comfortably, and felt that his cultivation had improved a little.

"Master, this place smells great! Let's stay here from now on!"

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, feeling the full and surging Immortal power in his body, and a cold smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"This is just the beginning."

"Demolition director, officially on duty. The good show has only just begun."
