Junior Uncle is too cunning.

"Are you telling the truth?" Chen Fusheng asked seriously.

"Don't worry, if I, Old Pig, didn't have this skill, I would probably have been eaten to the bone long ago, and I would still be alive today."

However, I'm more curious about you. How did you manage to fool my eyes?

Pig Incompetent asked curiously, then, with his two little pig trotters holding a bottle of "Wuliangye" liquor, he took a hearty gulp.

Chen Fusheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, one of his worries was temporarily resolved. He hadn't expected that Zhu Wuneng could actually evade divination and hide himself, so that the higher-ups of the Demon Alliance wouldn't be involved with him for the time being, and the danger had been greatly reduced.

He glanced at the Q-version Peppa Pig hanging on his shoulder, which was absolutely adorable. He didn't like the pig-headed version of the pig's outfit; it was too conspicuous and formed the opposite extreme from his pig-headed version, completely contradicting Chen Fusheng's values.

It's his own fault for being so talkative. He didn't expect that just a casual remark would cause Pig Incompetent to not only shrink but also cling to his shoulder. He's cute now, but the previous one left too deep an impression. Now he only wants to admire from afar and doesn't want to get close.

Hearing Zhu Wuneng's words, Chen Fusheng finally raised his head proudly. He had been severely discouraged by Zhu Wuneng these past few days. Since the day they formed the contract, there was a period of mutual assistance between them because of their shared life and death. It was because of this that Chen Fusheng's cultivation soared to the peak of True Immortal Perfection. Although this was also the result of his own suppression, otherwise he would definitely have broken through to Profound Immortal.

Zhu Wuneng benefited greatly. Although his magic power was much purer than Chen Fusheng's due to his innate body, he was still only a demon general equivalent to a celestial immortal, while Chen Fusheng was a true immortal, a whole realm higher than him. In addition, he had just passed through the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Tribulation, and the benefits in his body had not been fully digested. Furthermore, Chen Fusheng wanted to stabilize his body, so most of the energy was stored in Zhu Wuneng's body.

Stimulated by the magical power transmitted by the pig, it was fully activated. Chen Fusheng couldn't use it at the time, nor did he want to, so he poured some of it into the "wine gourd" and the "nameless cauldron".

However, they only received a small portion. Zhu Wuneng, who shared life and death with Chen Fusheng, received the majority of the energy. He originally thought that even if Chen Fusheng's cultivation was higher than his own, he would probably only be able to break through to the Demon General (True Immortal) realm at most. After all, his magic power was too pure. If Chen Fusheng's magic power was transmitted to him and filtered again, it would be good if half of it remained.

Unexpectedly, Chen Fusheng had just undergone his tribulation, and it was the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning that he was facing. His body was too weak to absorb the energy, so most of it remained, directly benefiting Zhu Wuneng. As an old demon who had lived for over ten thousand years, he lacked nothing except energy. The energy of the heavenly tribulation was far superior to his own magical power, and it was almost completely unfiltered, preserving everything. Then, Zhu Wuneng overtook him…

"Mid-stage Demon Master (Mid-stage Mystic Immortal)".

This is practically comparable to an invincible pill, and there's no risk of being overwhelmed by the effects. Ironically, the incompetent pig wanted two more.

Furthermore, as his cultivation level increased, Zhu Wuneng awakened more and more of his innate supernatural powers, which is why Chen Fusheng, whose magical power had improved significantly, could not afford to be arrogant or complacent.

On the way, Chen Fusheng also summarized the formation of this alliance. His cultivation level had passively increased again. Although his magic power was also purified a lot due to the filtering of the pig, the benefits and foundation left by the heavenly tribulation were swept away. If he wanted to advance in the future, he would have to grind his time.

As for Pig Wuneng, aside from everything else, although he signed a contract with humans as a naturally born being, his cultivation level broke through from Demon General to Demon Master, directly making up for most of the foundation he had lost due to premature birth. Moreover, after being tempered by the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, he became several times stronger overall, and he also gained a free meal ticket. After that, his demon life was smooth sailing and his future was limitless.

In short, it drained Chen Fusheng's resources and fattened up Zhu Wuneng, what a blessing!

He summoned the "wine gourd" from his body and said to Pig Incompetent, "This is my natal magic weapon. You can call it the 'wine gourd.' Take a look for yourself."

Of course, Pig Incompetent recognized the "wine gourd," as he had fallen victim to it that very day. With two gulps, he downed a bottle of "Wuliangye" liquor, stuffing the bottle into Chen Fusheng's arms with his hoof. Pig Incompetent then grabbed at the "wine gourd" with both hooves, and with a "plop," he plummeted from the clouds, only to fly back up again a moment later.

Chen Fusheng chuckled maliciously, "Maybe it's not used to being touched by others."

Pig Wuneng glanced at him speechlessly, then turned to stare at the "wine gourd." He had felt it was extraordinary that day, but due to the urgency of the situation, he hadn't observed it closely enough. A beam of golden light shot from Pig Wuneng's eyes and pierced the "wine gourd." With a "ding," the light was blocked by an invisible barrier just an inch away from the gourd. Undeterred, Pig Wuneng tried several more times, but all attempts ended in failure.

Pig Wuneng jumped back onto the shoulder, smacking its lips. After a while, it asked unwillingly, "This is your natal magic weapon? It's really powerful. It must be a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure, right?"

Chen Fusheng smiled smugly, “A top-grade acquired spiritual treasure.”

"How is this possible? You must be kidding me. I've lived for so long, and there are only a handful of top-grade acquired spiritual treasures in the world. Do you think I wouldn't recognize them? Unless they're newly... released...?"

Pig Incompetent was frightened by his own thoughts, staring intently at Chen Fusheng, wanting an answer.

Chen Fusheng stared at the "wine gourd," waved his hand, covered it in his hand, and slowly recalled, "You guessed right, it's the new one."

"That's impossible. Once a master craftsman creates a new spiritual treasure, the Demon Alliance will likely find out. And even if it was created privately, how could such a thing possibly be in your hands?" Pig Incompetent felt that Chen Fusheng was insulting his noble intelligence. With his clever pig brain, he felt it necessary to teach Chen Fusheng a lesson. Lying and deceiving people is wrong, let alone deceiving a pig. As a partner in life and death, he needed to guide Chen Fusheng onto the right path.

Chen Fusheng nodded calmly, recalling the past in his eyes, a sweet smile appearing on his lips, "What you said is all correct, but who says that only a master craftsman can forge a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure?"

"The 'wine gourd' is something I made!"

Zhu Wuneng looked at Chen Fusheng in front of him. Chen Fusheng was full of confidence and arrogance. He had completely lost his "cowardly" air from yesterday. He was like an expert, full of confidence in his work. Maybe, just maybe, it really was him who made it.

Pig Incompetent quickly shook his head, banishing the absurd idea from his mind, and looked at Chen Fusheng.

“It can be said that I and the ‘wine gourd’ were made together,” Chen Fusheng said.

He may have sensed Zhu Wuneng's disbelief, or he may have kept it to himself for a long time and needed someone to confide in. After all, no matter how good his relationship with his master and fellow disciples was, there were some things he still felt were inappropriate to say. It would be irresponsible to his own safety, as well as a test and a source of hope for others. As the saying goes, if a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose his life; and if matters are not kept secret, they will cause harm.

These words had a profound influence on him, and his work, "Gou Jing," was also greatly influenced by them.

This is probably one of the reasons why he didn't seek protection from Master Lingyu or stay within the sect during his tribulation. Now that he and Zhu Wuneng have formed a life-and-death pact, they only need to share their identities as transmigrators to ensure better cooperation in the future.

Therefore, Chen Fusheng frankly explained how the "wine gourd" was made. Then, due to the relationship between the "Frost Flame" and the lightning tribulation, by chance, he was able to refine a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure at the level of a weapon refiner master.

Then, after describing the main characteristics of the "wine gourd," Chen Fusheng gave a general introduction to himself, including his master, senior brothers, sect, and cultivation methods. He also focused on explaining his "Gou Jing" to Zhu Wuneng.

Looking at Chen Fusheng's youthful face, Zhu Wuneng sighed inwardly, "He's truly a prodigy."

For the first time, he felt that he was getting old. He thought he had found a thousand-year-old monster, but it turned out to be a naive and inexperienced kid.

Compared to the lifespan of all living beings, Pig Wuneng is only in his infancy. But compared to Chen Fusheng, alas, Pig Wuneng has nowhere to go...

Next, Zhu Wuneng briefly described his abilities. First, he perfectly inherited the characteristics of pigs: "thick skin and flesh." His physical defense was comparable to a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure. He was a mid-stage demon master. His eyes had the ability to "see through the void," allowing him to see the essence of things. He also mentioned some other abilities, but since we haven't investigated them in detail, we'll have to leave that for later.

……

After three months, the man and the demon finally arrived at the territory of the Lingbao Sect. Looking at the incompetent pig with a wine bottle always on his shoulder, Chen Fusheng once again felt the financial pressure.

He shifted his shoulders and said softly, "Sanjie, wake up, wake up..."
