Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal-Chapter 101 - 85: Famous in the Southern Realm! Righteous and Demonic Pursuit! Qi Refining Eighth Layer! Flawless Dao Foundation!
"Fellow disciples, I don’t have to tell you about the effects of Heaven and Earth Qi—you all know them well. Our Yin Yang Hall’s Bu Tianzhi has already acquired one strand of Heaven and Earth Qi."
"But that’s not enough. If our Yin Yang Hall wants to rise to power, we need more Heaven and Earth Qi."
"Right now, Lin Chang’sheng from the Liuyun Immortal Sect has snatched eight strands of Heaven and Earth Qi. But there’s been no word about him at all!"
"That means he might still be hiding somewhere. And for us, that’s hope!"
"We have to do whatever it takes to bring Lin Chang’sheng in."
"The Hall Master has said, whoever turns in a single strand of Heaven and Earth Qi to the sect will be rewarded with a Condensing Pill, and can also enter the Yin Yang Pool to experience the Yin Yang Daoist Technique!"
The middle-aged man looked down at the thirty-plus youths below, his voice grave.
"Understood! Junior Martial Uncle Bu!"
The disciples’ eyes were bright with excitement. They were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, thinking about their next step—the Golden Core Stage. If they could catch Lin Chang’sheng, they’d get access to the Yin Yang Pool and the coveted Condensing Pill!
As for capturing Lin Chang’sheng and keeping the Heaven and Earth Qi for themselves?
That’s impossible!
Because all Yin Yang Hall disciples’ Soul Tokens are kept in the hall, and there’s no escaping the sect’s punishment!
"Off you go!"
Bu Yunfeng gazed at the many disciples, expectation in his eyes as well.
Heaven and Earth Qi was truly extraordinary. A single strand could create a Nascent Soul cultivator. If the Yin Yang Hall could pull in a few more, they’d be able to suppress the Demon Dao and become the strongest sect in all of Demon Dao!
Unifying the Demon Dao!
........
Celestial Praise City.
A city under the jurisdiction of the Golden Talisman Immortal Sect.
The city stretched for hundreds of miles in diameter.
Cultivators from minor sects in the Southern Realm’s East, along with loose cultivators, all gathered here to trade and interact.
On this day—
Just outside Celestial Praise City—
A young man in a green robe, broad-shouldered and dark-skinned, cultivation at Qi Cultivation 5th Layer, strode toward the city.
This was Lin Chang’sheng in disguise.
"Daoist Zhang, that Lin Chang’sheng—both Righteous and Evil Dao are hunting him. It’s been over two months and he hasn’t turned up. Guess that guy is no ordinary character. We loose cultivators should steer clear of all this mess."
"Daoist Li, you’ve got a point. Those rewards aren’t something we can snag. Better to just go home and focus on our own cultivation."
Just then, Lin Chang’sheng heard two men chatting right nearby.
He saw it was two cultivators, both Qi Refining Fourth Layer.
"It’s already been more than two months. There are still people everywhere trying to find news about me!"
Lin Chang’sheng’s heart tightened. His Disguise Technique was already at perfection. Before leaving, he’d stashed Xiaobai back in that cave with a pile of food, then set off for this Immortal City.
This time, Lin Chang’sheng wanted to buy some Cultivation Immortality Techniques and materials for refining Essence Pills, as well as more Disguise Techniques.
He knew full well that cultivators from both Righteous and Evil Dao were hunting him. Getting caught meant disaster—so he had to disguise himself as someone else, completely and thoroughly.
Right now, his Disguise Technique was perfected, but he still felt it wasn’t enough. With his Panel Simplification, if he could collect more Disguise Techniques and simplify and merge them, he’d create an even higher-level Disguise Technique.
By then, no one would ever find him!
"My cultivation is locked at Qi Cultivation 5th Layer. With my perfected Disguise Technique, I should be safe—as long as I don’t run into any high-tier cultivators!"
Lin Chang’sheng checked his own condition carefully. After making sure all was fine, he walked on into Celestial Praise City.
......
Celestial Praise Marketplace.
Located to the east of Celestial Praise City.
The whole market was huge, packed with all kinds of shops.
Elixirs, Demon Beast materials, Spirit Grass, Talismans, Arrays—all sorts of cultivation immortality resources for sale. Of course, cultivators could also sell off their own unused materials at the market.
The marketplace was pretty crowded with cultivators.
Most were Qi Cultivation Fifth and Sixth Layer. Plenty of Seventh and Eighth too, but not as many.
Lin Chang’sheng approached a shop selling talismans. Scattered on the counter, he saw Flame Talismans, Ice Blade Talismans, Golden Armor Talismans. And among all those talismans, he spotted a book on Transformation Technique, another on the Face Changing Technique, catching his interest immediately.
"Daoist friend, what are you looking to buy?"
The shopkeeper was a round-faced female cultivator about thirty years old, at Qi Refining Fourth Layer. Seeing Lin Chang’sheng, she greeted him warmly.
"I want to learn about talismans. Do you sell any manuals here?"
Lin Chang’sheng scratched his head with a gruff voice.
He didn’t ask about Transformation and Face Changing Techniques right away—too suspicious.
"Talismans? How about this?"
The shopkeeper responded, handing Lin Chang’sheng a register. "Here’s ’Intro to Talismans.’ It’s got instructions for drawing Fireball Talismans and Fire Bomb Talismans. Ten Spirit Stones and it’s yours!"
"Ten Spirit Stones? That’s too expensive!"
Lin Chang’sheng frowned, scanning over the stall, then pointed at the two Disguise Technique books. "Those two—Transformation and Face Changing Techniques—are interesting. Bundle them up for me; six Spirit Stones would be fair."
"Uh..."
The shopkeeper looked troubled. "Seven Spirit Stones. I can’t go lower than that."
"All right. Deal."
Lin Chang’sheng thought for a moment, then nodded. He pulled out seven Spirit Stones from his clothes and handed them over.
Lin Chang’sheng got the Intro to Talismans book, Transformation Technique, and Face Changing Technique—with a quick stop at another stall, he picked up a book on Bone Shrinking Skill. He also bought some basic supplies and quickly left the city.
He’d wanted to buy more ingredients for refining Essence Pills, but worried that spending too many Spirit Stones would draw attention. So he only bought five sets.
The plan was to get back and master the Transformation Technique, Face Changing Technique, and Bone Shrinking Skill, simplify them, fuse them, and create an even stronger Disguise Technique. Only then, and under a new identity, would it be safe to come out.
Otherwise—
No matter which side caught him, Righteous or Evil Dao, it’d be bad news for him.
After leaving the city, Lin Chang’sheng sped away in haste.
Traversing through a wooded area, Lin Chang’sheng suddenly stopped. Staring deep into the trees, his gaze cold, he said, "Daoist friend, enough hiding. Come out!"
At that moment, killing intent surged in Lin Chang’sheng’s heart.
He’d been so cautious—only buying five sets of Essence Pill ingredients. Even so, he’d still attracted a Qi Refining Sixth Layer cultivator to tail him. Utterly infuriating!
