Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 117 Painted Skin
The art of painting skin has existed since ancient times. It is an evil method of making clothes out of human skin, dressing up, and pretending to be a fairy or a beauty to seduce people. It is a means used by demons and ghosts to deceive, conceal, hunt and harm people.

Sui Yunfei saw that Tiedan remained silent and refused to take the medicine, so he became very wary. He knew that this was probably the first time he had seen such a trick, so he smiled and demonstrated it.

He turned around, took off his cloak and mask, and was naked as well. He drank a mouthful of the medicine bottle in his hand, and then silently chanted a spell. Then there was a crackling sound, and Sui Yunfei shrank his bones and muscles, and his body became three feet shorter.

At the same time, the piece of Xiao Chu's skin on the ground flew up into the air, and like a cloth bag, it put Sui Yunfei into the bag and transformed into the appearance of the female cultivator. However, there was a gap at the back of his head, like a slot in a pocket.

Sui Yunfei also waved his hand, took out a yellow talisman from his clothes, and stuck it on the back of his head to seal the gap. Then he let his hair down to cover it. When he turned around, he had turned into the appearance of "Xiao Chu", no different from anyone else.

"It's simple, right? This bone-shrinking medicine will last for three days. When you're done, just peel off the skin."

When Tiedan heard that the other party's voice was actually imitated as a female voice, he couldn't help but frown and looked at the two flesh men again.

"Exposed? What about them? Do they need to be returned?"

Xiao Chu smiled but did not answer. The two meat men also chuckled. One of them opened his mouth, revealing the golden cicada under his tongue, and the other explained in a soft voice,

“We sisters have had our foundations destroyed by that old man, and there is no hope for us to cultivate in this life. We are grateful to Master Sui for bestowing us with the chance to become immortals, helping us to fly like golden cicadas and to be reborn.

In my next life, I will cultivate the Great Dao, join the orthodox Xuan Sect, and no longer be bullied by the old beast Xuan Ji. "

When Tiedan saw the golden cicada, he flipped through the encyclopedia and recalled that this item was a secret treasure made from the remains of an immortal. It could be used to host the souls of low-level cultivators who had not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage and whose souls could not leave their bodies. It was a treasure used to transform the souls into the next life. Among the nine major sects, only a few had this secret manual, which was usually only given to the inner sect's true disciples. It was very precious.

It seems that Sui Yunfei must be one of the top nine sects and a direct disciple of the inner sect. Not only does he have unfathomable supernatural powers and amazing methods, but he is also efficient and meticulous. Just for the sake of getting a deer antler, he actually settled the causal relationship between Tiedan, Xiaochu, Shuang'er and other people involved in the matter, and arranged the funeral in an orderly manner. He is really capable.

But I don't know what the antler has that is so important that he would spend so much money to steal it. Would it be enough to exchange it for the golden cicada? Could it be that Xuan Jizi has a personal grudge against him?
Sui Yunfei was so cautious and kept his head and tail hidden. Tiedan was just hired to do the job, so he naturally didn't bother to get into the details with him. He first confirmed that the bone-shrinking medicine was indeed non-toxic, and was just a jam made from a strange fruit born from heaven and earth, which had the magical effect of shrinking bones and shrinking the body. So he also took the medicine and chanted a spell, disguising himself and transformed into the appearance of "Shuang'er".

The next thing was simple. Sui Yunfei and Tiedan followed Xiao Chu Shuang'er to learn their postures and movements, and the various forbidden formations of Bailu Peak. When it was night, they sneaked into the mountain to do their work, and the two of them stayed here for another night, and waited until tomorrow night to dissolve the soldiers and reincarnate, without anyone noticing.

Because he had practiced the "Xuanming Xuanji Bingqi Jue" beforehand, Tiedan could simulate Shuang'er's inner strength and true qi cultivation, and could also imitate her body movements, but he couldn't imitate her voice. But it wasn't a big problem, he just shut up and let "Xiao Chu" deal with it.

So when the time came and everyone was fully prepared, Xiao Chu and Shuang'er flew back to Bailu Peak in broad daylight.

It is no wonder that every disciple of Xuan Ji Sect can fly. This sect is built on the green cliff at the top of a mountain. There is only one winding path leading up and down, and there are no cranes or iron dragons like those on Yuntai Peak to ride on. It is really inconvenient if you can't fly.

It was obviously not the first time that "Xiao Chu" had sneaked into the mountain for reconnaissance. He had carefully calculated the timing of the sneak in. When they flew up the mountain, the Taoist palace on the top of the green cliff was emitting bursts of rosy clouds and auspicious auras. It was obvious that the old monster Xuan Ji had set up formations and opened restrictions in preparation for his retreat to prevent outsiders from invading during his retreat.

Since the ancestor personally set up the formation, the disciples of Xuan Ji Sect became much lazier. There were only two boys stationed at the gate of the mountain. Seeing that the two senior sisters had returned to the mountain, who had accompanied the ancestor before, they dared not interrogate them harshly or offend them, and directly opened the door to let them in.

Once you enter the door, there are naturally magical instruments such as the Demon Mirror hanging there to detect the true identity of the person coming in, so as to prevent any demons and evil spirits from sneaking in.

However, Sui Yunfei's means were more advanced. He had given two golden hairpins in advance and had them worn by Xiao Chu and Shuang'er for a few days. Now the person under the skin had changed, and even the 'hairpin' had changed as well. When the Xuanjian shone through, two balls of golden light clearly shone out, hiding the figures and faces of the two people in the light and fire.

Tiedan was also amazed, thinking that the people in the Xuanmen sect were very skilled and flawless. It seemed that he still had a lot to learn.

In this way, they entered the palace without any danger and went to see the white deer first.

This white deer is the mount of the ancestor Xuan Ji, and also a spiritual beast created by heaven and earth. After thousands of years of cultivation, it has reached the realm of spiritual transformation. Not only can it travel a thousand miles a day and come and go like the wind, it is also proficient in the five elements of escape and has solid true qi. On its horns are the two wheels of the sun and the moon, and it is blessed by the true breath of the moon and the sun. At first glance, it is a top-notch divine beast and a treasure of nature.

However, since this thing has been sitting in Bailu Peak, it has been eating, drinking and sleeping all day long, and has become as fat as a giant elephant. The disciples of Xuanji Sect are too lazy to move when they come in to wash and wipe its body. If they want to cut the antlers, they just pick up the sword and cut them. It has to change its horns anyway.

Of course, these deer antlers are the treasures of Xuan Ji Sect and the private property of the Xuan Ji ancestor. They are used to exchange resources with other old monsters who have reached the state of transformation. Naturally, they will not be given to others easily. This time, Sui Yunfei took the risk to steal them.

Seeing that everything was going well, Xiao Chu took Shuang'er to the edge of the cliff to ambush, and sprinkled the medicine on a batch of fresh fairy grass.
"The next step is to wait for them to send the furnace to the alchemy room. The ancestor must practice dual cultivation for seven days without interruption.

In the morning, when the white deer gets up and eats grass, we can stun it and cut off its antlers, and the job will be done."

Shuang'er nodded silently without saying a word.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly and about to be completed, Xiao Chu couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that there was no one around, he chuckled and said,
“But it must be God’s help. I was worried that the original furnace and cauldron were gone, and I was afraid that there would be complications. If I couldn’t choose a furnace and cauldron in an instant, it would delay my work.

Who would have thought that Xuan Ji Sect would just happen to capture a Saintess of the Demon Sect, just in time for the ancestor to use. It seems that it is all destined."

Oh, it turns out that they caught a member of a demon sect...

Shuang'er's eyes became fierce. "The Saint of the Demon Cult? What's her name?"

'Xiao Chu',
“How would I know that? I only heard that the saint girl pretended to be a deserter from the Gen Kingdom and was stopped and interrogated by the disciples of the Xuan Ji Sect. Seeing that she was very outstanding in appearance, they captured her and found out that she was a member of the Demon Sect.

I heard that the Saintess of the Demon Cult is specifically used to help the Demon Cult Lords to break through, but I didn’t expect that she would come to me on her own.”

'Frost',
"...Where is she now? Has she been sent to practice dual cultivation?"

'Xiao Chu' counted with his fingers,
"It's not time yet. He's probably still refining in the alchemy room. I heard from them that according to the rules, the furnace cauldron must be bathed and dressed first, fed with soup and medicine, and the whole person must be soaked in medicinal oil. Then, some incense must be used to seal the soul and confuse the mind. Only when the preparations are complete and foolproof can they be sent to the bed for the ancestor to enjoy. The saint girl's realm is a little short, and she hasn't formed the elixir yet. I guess she needs to soak for a while, otherwise she may not last for seven days..."

So Shuang Er got up,
"I'm going to save her."

'Xiao Chu',
"……ha??"

However, Shuang'er was not joking. She turned her wrist, the hanging sword flashed, and she flew out.

"Damn it!"

'Xiao Chu' was overwhelmed, his white clothes fluttering, he moved in an instant, and showed his golden knife to intercept 'Shuang'er,
"Daoyou, you are confused! Don't do anything stupid!"

Shuang'er held the sword in his hand, and with a flick of the blade, the sword's aura was released.

"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you. After I save the person, I will go and cut the antlers."

Xiao Chu was furious.
"You are stupid! The Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult has nothing to do with you! Besides, how can you save her? The old man can slap you to death with one slap!"

Shuang'er shook her head.

"No, he is cautious. Seeing me blocking his path and taking away his opportunities time and again, he may become even more suspicious and worried, fearing that his death is approaching.

Put yourself in their shoes. Those things like deer antlers, furnaces, saints, and face are nothing but trivial matters. They can be taken away or lost. It doesn't matter at all.

If it were me, I would not care about anything else and would first pick one of the disciples to use, practice in seclusion, and suppress the imminent hidden danger of the Taoist body. Other things can be considered later, there is still a long time to go.

With this skill, I can save people and escape.”

Xiao Chu gritted his teeth.
"You are dreaming! He is the ancestor of the Divine Transformation! He has been roaming Hebei for thousands of years! How can he do what you want!"

Shuang'er smiled.

"No, he will. Even though he has dominated the world for thousands of years, he has lost his sharpness and vitality. He is always calculating and worrying about gains and losses. He dare not act impulsively like us.

Because I am penniless and can die at worst, but he can’t afford to lose.”

'Xiao Chu' sneered, and 'Shuang' continued,

"You don't have a choice. Things have come to this point. You've cast the bait and let out the line. You have to succeed no matter what.

Instead of wasting time with me here, why not help me snatch the person first? After snatching the person, we can cut the antlers. When the time comes, the old monster will still come after me, and you still have a chance to escape unscathed."

'Xiao Chu' had cold eyes.
"Fellow Daoist, you are willing to take risks for the Saintess of the Demon Sect. You must be in love with her.

Distinguishing between good and evil, and distinguishing between the mysterious and the devil, is a top priority, don't make the mistake."

Shuang Er snorted coldly.
"I just kept my promise. I promised my friend that I would deliver the Saint to him, and I will definitely do it. Of course, the same goes for what I promised you."

Xiao Chu frowned.
"…Then I think you're in love with that friend."

Shuang'er rolled her eyes and flew away.

'Xiao Chu' had no choice but to draw his golden sword and go over to help.
