I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 63: Tiger and Snake Prove Immortal, Demons Appear in the City
Some time had passed since Sun Wukong left Lingtai Mountain. One day, the sky above Danchi Ridge was covered with colorful clouds and purple mist.

The Fire Spirit Immortal stood on the Eight Immortals Tower, looking at the two beams of immortal light rising into the sky from the peach forest below, stirring up the wind and clouds, with a smile on his face.

I saw that the sky was bright and clear in all directions, and there were two earthly immortals, a snake and a tiger, lurking in the immortal light.

The sounds of snakes and tigers frightened all the beasts in the Danchi Ridge, including wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, lions, orangutans, bears, deer, blue rhinos, and divine mastiffs, and they all fell to the ground in panic.

Not long after, the snake and tiger forms gradually took shape in the fairy light, and finally the fairy light dissipated and the forms returned to their bodies.

Then two immortal figures rose into the sky. They were Hu Xianfeng and Chi Ling, who had already achieved the status of earthly immortals.

The two of them achieved the Tao fruit of earthly immortality, and their mortal bodies below were completely dead. They just opened their mouths and blew, and the mortal body that was still sitting cross-legged in the peach forest below immediately disappeared into smoke.

A moment later, the two of them gathered their immortal aura, flew on the clouds and landed on the Eight Immortals Tower, and bowed to the Fire Spirit Immortal.

Fire Spirit Immortal also bowed and smiled, "Congratulations to the two Taoist friends for achieving immortality. You will have hope of living forever in the future."

The two bowed and said, "Thank you, Minister."

Tiger Vanguard said: "If it weren't for the great blessing of the Lord of the Mansion, and if it weren't for the Mansion's Secretary who often lectured on the scriptures and explained and resolved our doubts, how could we two have achieved immortality?"

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and waved his hands, then said: "Don't say these flattering words. Half of the credit for your becoming an immortal today is due to Sun Wukong. Before he left, he discussed Taoism with us, which was of great help to us. Not only you, but even I benefited a lot."

At this point, the Fire Spirit Immortal said to the two of them, "The Lord of the Mansion is still in seclusion. You have just become immortals, so go back and consolidate your Dao Fruit first. I will be in charge of inspecting Guangci Mansion for the next three months."

Hearing this, Tiger Vanguard and Chi Ling looked at each other, then bowed to the Fire Spirit Immortal and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister."

The True Immortal Fire Spirit waved his hand, and then Tiger Vanguard and Chi Ling flew out of the Eight Immortals Tower and returned to the Divine Palace.

As soon as he returned to the Divine Palace, Hu Xianfeng's wife Lan'er and two handsome young men came quickly to greet him.

Lan Er said with a smile: "Congratulations to my husband for achieving the Dao Fruit of Earthly Immortal."

Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ also bowed and said, "Congratulations, Daddy, for becoming an immortal."

Tiger Vanguard laughed, reached out and patted Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ on the head, then smiled and nodded at his wife.

Chi Ling said at the side: "Sister Lan'er, you don't even congratulate me?"

Lan Er came forward and hugged Chi Ling and said with a smile: "Today we have braised ground rat, chestnut bullfrog, steamed civet cat, and stir-fried red bean toad."

"Wow!" Chi Ling's eyes widened instantly, she stuck out her tongue and licked her lips and said, "These are all my favorite foods!"

Lan Er smiled and asked, "Do you still want me to congratulate you?"

"No, no." Chi Ling hugged Lan'er and said, "Sister Lan'er, you are really the best woman in the world. If I were a man, I would definitely cuckold Brother Hu."

Hu Xianfeng's face turned green in an instant, but Lan'er smiled so well that her eyebrows and eyes curved into crescents.

Tiger Lailai and Tiger Ququ, who were standing by, looked puzzled and asked their father Tiger Xianfeng, "Dad, what is a green hat?"

Tiger Vanguard raised his foot and kicked his two sons out, shouting, "Hurry up and practice."

"What are you doing?!" Lan'er shouted angrily.

When Tiger Vanguard saw his wife getting angry, he immediately smiled and said, "Madam, it's okay. They are two grown boys, and they can't be hurt by kicking them."

Lan'er gave Tiger Vanguard a cold look, then turned around and left with Chi Ling. Seeing this, Tiger Vanguard hurriedly followed.

"The Lord has been in seclusion for several months, right?" Chi Ling said.

Lan Er nodded and said, "Four months." "Oh." Chi Ling responded, and then asked in confusion, "The Lord's retreat was quite long this time. I wonder how much improvement he has made when he comes out of retreat?"

Tiger Vanguard said: "With the Lord's talent, I wouldn't be surprised even if he attains the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit right after coming out of retreat."

But the truth was not as Hu Xianfeng and Chi Ling thought. During this retreat, Zhuang Yan did not practice Taoism, but was studying and creating a new major function.

Because the power of Heavenly Dao only manifests once a year now, Zhuang Yan's absorption of the power of Heavenly Dao is relatively slow.

Therefore, Zhuang Yan had to think of a way to better "dig away at the power of Heaven" under the circumstances of the ever-changing Heaven's way.

However, his great strength has not yet recovered, so it is obviously impossible to directly snatch the power of Heavenly Dao from Heavenly Dao.

In this case, he had to find a way out, so Zhuang Yan set his sights on the extremely rich 'incense power' that he had accumulated over the years.

Incense is offered by all creatures of heaven and earth, so it is naturally a part of Heaven's Way. If you add a function that can refine the power of incense to grab the power of Heaven's Way, can you absorb the power of Heaven's Way more easily?
He has been studying it for four months now and has some idea about the basic operating principles of this function. In some time, he will be able to create this function.

On the other hand, because Tiger Vanguard and Chi Ling needed to stabilize their realm, Fire Spirit Immortal temporarily took over the task of patrolling the four directions.

But as soon as she left Lingtai Mountain, she saw the land god of Guangci City appear at the foot of Lingtai Mountain.

The Fire Spirit Immortal pressed down the cloud, landed in front of the city's land god and asked, "Land God, why are you here instead of staying in the city's temple?"

The city's land god hurriedly bowed and said, "I greet the chancellor. I have come here to report something important to the Lord of the Palace."

The Fire Spirit Immortal said, "The Lord of the Mansion is in seclusion, so I will be in charge of the affairs of the Mansion for the time being. If you have anything important to say, please report it to me."

Upon hearing this, the land god quickly replied, "Yes, Your Excellency, I have noticed a faint evil spirit in the Guangci Prefecture's mansion these days. That evil spirit is extremely aggressive and evil. I wanted to investigate, but I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I came to the God's Mansion to report first."

No matter if they are immortals or monks, or mountain monsters, as long as they do evil, they are monsters, and monsters have "evil aura".

"Well, you did the right thing." Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "Is there a door god in the governor's mansion?"

The land god shook his head and said, "There is no door god, because the governor is an official appointed by the king, and there are soldiers guarding the gate and the courtyard, so there is no door god enshrined in the mansion."

The Fire Spirit Immortal asked again, "What about the Kitchen God?"

When the land god heard this, his face immediately darkened and he said, "I was just about to report that there is a kitchen god in the governor's mansion, but now I can't contact him."

"Oh?" Fire Spirit Immortal raised his eyebrows and said, "So, there is an evil spirit causing trouble in the governor's mansion? Even the Kitchen God has been imprisoned by it?"

The land god said: "That should be the case."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded slightly, and then said, "Let's go, take me to have a look."

The land god nodded in response, and then the Fire Spirit Immortal took the land god on a cloud and flew straight to Guangci Prefecture.

In a short while, they entered the Guangci Prefecture. The Fire Spirit Immortal pressed down the clouds and brought the land god to a large and luxurious mansion. The land god pointed at the red walls and green tiles in front of him and said, "Minister, this is the Guangci Prefecture's mansion."

The True Immortal Fire Spirit only used his immortal eyes to glance at the Prefect's Mansion in front of him, and immediately saw a demonic aura shrouding the sky above the Prefect's Mansion.

Fire Spirit Immortal said: "There is indeed an evil spirit causing trouble."

After that, she said to the land god: "You can go back now. I will take care of this place."

The land god bowed and then turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared into the ground.

Afterwards, the Fire Spirit Immortal found a deserted place, used his magical powers to change his face, and turned into a Taoist priest in green. Then he put away his divine power and transformed his body, and walked straight to the gate of the prefect's mansion.
