The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 571 -s 327-328: Perfumer

Changtian pondered and said, "With his soul strength as it is, unless someone uses Divine Skills to assist him, he wouldn’t even have the energy to shift into this body, let alone take control of it. And the reason why the mastermind behind this replaced his soul with a better leather bag is quite obvious."

That is, "Senior Brother Chen’s" art of love and deception is highly adept, the mastermind wanted him to slowly control Chun Yijing using the Tao Heart Demon Planting Method.

Although Chun Yijing’s cultivation is not high, she is still a Cultivator after all, usually substituting sleep with breathing regulation. Without using aphrodisiac to cloud her consciousness, along with seduction techniques, how would it be possible to keep her in a state of near waking but not fully awake?

Ning Xiaoxian thought for a bit, "Are they targeting Chun Ruhai of Gold Storage Tower, or the entire Qianjin Hall behind him?" Chun Yijing is just a daughter of wealth, the efforts of the mastermind behind the scenes must be aimed at something significant.

Changtian said coldly, "Most likely, it’s Qianjin Hall. Don’t forget, only those who are experts in the mysteries of Divine Souls can freely employ the method of soul possession, plus the two secret techniques of Tao Heart Demon Planting and Blood Oath. Who do you think of?"

The group sighed and mentioned that name: "Yin Jiu You."

"Exactly," Changtian continued, "The secret technique Blood Oath was something I learned from Yin Jiu You, so there’s a ninety-nine percent chance this matter is related to Yin Jiu You. Even if it isn’t him acting personally, it’s done by someone under his command." He paused, then added, "Qianjin Hall has been secretly collecting God Slaying Thunder over the years, targeting Yin Jiu You. Being the target, how could Yin Jiu You be unaware? That’s why he utilized this Chen fellow to covertly control Chun Yijing, wanting to use her to probe the secrets of Qianjin Hall."

Everyone went silent for a moment. They had never even seen Yin Jiu You’s True Body, yet his traces were everywhere. It seemed that every major event they encountered could be linked back to him. How terrifying would it be when Yin Jiu You fully regained his strength and spread his wings?

"As for this person, we can’t take his life for now." Changtian pointed to Senior Brother Chen lying on the ground, "If he really is Yin Jiu You’s puppet, then there must be a secret technique on him. Once he loses his life, Yin Jiu You would be notified, which would complicate matters."

Ning Xiaoxian snorted softly and said, "We were also planning to find the Hall Master of Qianjin Hall. How can we inform Chun Ruhai to have him introduce us?"

Both Changtian and Tu Jin shook their heads, "Not so fast. This matter involves the secrets of Soul Cultivation, otherwise, we can’t explain clearly how we discovered Chen’s schemes."

"Let’s wait until I get out of God Demon Prison before settling this matter," she said.

She puckered her red lips, looking sullen, "I can’t even earn a favor from that Spring fellow." She liked to keep favors owed to her. She wasn’t Lei Feng, not fond of doing good deeds without seeking recognition.

As she instructed, He Lao hurried to the location where the Tianlan Courtyard elder was ambushed, to clean up the scene once again, ensuring no traces were left behind. He was slick and meticulous, even more cautious than ordinary Immortal Bandits, and indeed, he found many oversights at the scene. If the opposition followed the clues to their doorstep, it would be all too easy to take care of them. Thinking about this, he shivered and hurriedly took care of it.

This burglary was a sudden affair, and even Yin Jiu You, no matter how meticulously he planned, couldn’t account for every contingency. It would be at least two days before news of the stolen Spectrum Mirror reached his ears.

Originally, "Senior Brother Chen" had seen the mirror in Gold Storage Tower and was the only witness, yet he was captured by Ning Xiaoxian and taken to God Demon Prison. Just to be safe, Tu Jin also erased the entire memory segment regarding the mirror while investigating Chun Yijing, so Yin Jiu You wouldn’t be able to find the mirror’s whereabouts anytime soon.

Ning Xiaoxian was also annoyed. It seems this conflict is only remembered by her, while little Madam Chun Yijing had completely forgotten it!

After the matters in Kashna City were settled, Ning Xiaoxian left behind three fragrance bags for He Lao and departed. Inside the bags were poison-expelling drugs she and Changtian had painstakingly developed, which should also be effective in preventing epidemics. Now that she had underlings and a business to run, she had to consider the lives and welfare of her employees.

What would be their next course of action? She and Changtian discussed it for a long time.

With these tasks at hand finished, there were still two hours until dawn. Ning Xiaoxian hurried to complete her cultivation exercises, while Changtian had already sent Tu Jin, Qi Zai, and others away.
