Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 502 Investigation
Tong Li.

Fifty-three years old.

A native of Huizhou, Yongzhou.

He was intelligent from a young age and became a disciple of a cultivator from the Zhao family.

Later, because the Zhao family offended the disciples of the sect and were wiped out, he had no choice but to leave Huizhou and wander around.

Two years ago, he was seriously injured for unknown reasons and appeared near Taiyuan Prefecture. He was rescued by the Sky Eagle Bandits. Because he had a high level of cultivation, he was imprisoned and only released when necessary.

Skyhawk Thieves are extremely ruthless.

To prevent him from escaping, they broke Tong Li's legs and used magic to imprison his cultivation.

The ban will only be lifted when he is needed.

"clatter!"

"clatter……"

Zhu Ju lightly tapped the armrest, looking at the documents in his hand.

These were clues from the Zhou family's investigation, and Elder Tong didn't try to hide them, sharing them with them one by one.

but,
wrong!

Under the illumination of the formless divine light, many secrets will be revealed.

"How could a seventh-rank mage possibly be recognized as a master by a sixth-rank peak martial artist?"

"and……"

Zhu Ju narrowed his eyes:

"This old man Tong's body is as thin as firewood, but his spirit is as fiery as fire. He is obviously burning his flesh and blood to nourish his primordial spirit. Doing so is tantamount to courting death."

That's right.

The old man's bodyguard, Mo Ying, possessed a cultivation level at the peak of the sixth rank.

He is even stronger than 'Wu Tou,' the leader who came from Lianshan Island to intercept and kill Zhu Ju some time ago.

Looking across the entire Taiyuan Prefecture, apart from the two old monsters whose fates are unknown, no one is confident of defeating him.

Such people,
Why would he become a servant of 'Old Master Tong'? Why wasn't he rescued from the Sky Eagle Bandits?

In addition to the investigation into Tong Li's identity and background, the materials also include the evaluations of him by the people of the Zhu family.

this year.

Tong Li had helped the Zhu family's cloth shop resolve several major troubles on several occasions, earning him the respect of many.

This man was witty and knowledgeable, having traveled extensively. Zhu Ying and the other younger members of the family especially enjoyed going to his courtyard to listen to his stories and ask him about their studies, treating him almost like an elder of the Zhu family.

He was also skilled in alchemy.

When the guards were injured, they all applied Tong Lao's wound medicine.

Even his two concubines obtained a beauty recipe from him, and the results were astonishing.

No wonder the two aunts have such good skin and energy.

"Ah……"

Zhu Ju put down the documents, shook his head, and whispered:
"In just one year, he won the hearts of everyone in the Zhou family; his methods were truly remarkable."

"but……"

"He seems to have forgotten that he is merely a guest of the Zhu household, and sometimes he is suspected of overstepping his bounds."

Overall.

Tong Li seemed to be fine, regarding the Zhu family as his saviors and treating everyone in the Zhu family with kindness.

It seems like they intend to spend their twilight years here.

Even if they interfere more, it's only because the head of the family, Zhu Ju, is not around, so they have to establish their authority and deter others.

"Master."

Qian Shiyao's voice came from outside the door:
"Master Ming has arrived."

"Oh!"

Zhu Ju looked up:

"Invite her in."

Ming Nianwei, dressed in a plain white Buddhist robe and holding a jade ruyi, pushed open the door and slowly walked into the room.

"Seen..."

"Peng!"

She curtsied, then suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and her eyes rolled back as she fainted.

I do not know how long it has been.

When she woke up, she suddenly turned over and stood up, her face turning ashen as she looked at her clothes.

Although I didn't feel anything unusual, my clothes were disheveled, clearly indicating that I had been touched.

"you're awake."

Zhu Ju stood a short distance away with his hands behind his back, gesturing with his hand outstretched:

"Sit down and talk." "Zhu Ju!" Ming Nianwei gritted her teeth, her face showing both shame and anger. She suddenly swung the jade ruyi in her hand, and wind blades that could cut through metal and stone appeared, sweeping forward like a storm.

A thousand-foot wind!
The jade ruyi in her hand was a magical artifact containing three hundred talismans, each of which could unleash a wind blade.

Push with all your strength.

Three hundred wind blades were unleashed simultaneously; even a seventh-rank expert might not be able to defend against this attack.

"Om..."

Zhu Ju trembled all over, accompanied by a surge of blood and qi, and a gleaming suit of armor appeared out of thin air.

The Minghuang Armor unleashed an invisible aura, like an inverted bell, completely enveloping him.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

Numerous wind blades struck it, producing crisp sounds, but they couldn't shake it in the slightest.

"Qi and Blood Divine Weapon!"

Ming Nianwei's beautiful eyes narrowed, her face filled with horror.

Qi and blood divine weapons are not uncommon for her, but the qi and blood divine weapon on Zhu Ju's body is obviously extraordinary.

It's highly likely to be a sixth-rank official, or even a fifth-rank official.

How could a small cloth merchant afford such a treasure?

and……

Zhu Ju's strength also exceeded her expectations.

"Master Ming."

"If you don't want to lie down anymore, then stop obediently, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

“…” Ming Nianwei subconsciously stepped back, her face showing vigilance:
"What are you going to do?"

“I have already become Master Tong’s disciple. Even if I am no match for you, I still have my master.”

"Master?" Zhu Ju chuckled.
"Do you really understand the master you're talking about?"

“You…” Ming Nianwei said angrily:

"Young Master Zhu, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have some tricks up your sleeve. How could my mentor tolerate such humiliation?"

"What a devoted disciple who protects his master." Zhu Ju smiled, pulled up a chair, and sat down.
"pity……"

"The mentor you're protecting actually wants you dead."

"Nonsense!" Ming Nianwei said disdainfully, turning to leave.

"The soul has seven orifices, born from the understanding of the mind," Zhu Ju said.
"You've probably heard this saying before; it's the furnace or stove that cultivators prepare for those who want to possess another's body."

?

Ming Nianwei paused in her steps.

"Will not."

She gently shook her head, murmuring:

"The art of possession can only be performed by beings of the fifth rank or above, and the person being possessed should ideally be stupid, unintelligent, or even severely injured and dying, only then will there be a chance of success."

Even so.

The chances of success are not high.

Moreover, once a body is possessed, it means that all the cultivation of the previous life is lost, and everything starts from scratch.

Furthermore, because the physical body and soul are difficult to reunite, even with past life experiences, it is difficult to restore one's original cultivation level.

Therefore, although the method of possession has been passed down in the world, very few people have actually witnessed it.

However, when it possesses someone, one can occasionally hear its presence.

"ignorance."

Zhu Ju shook his head:

“If the person being possessed does not cooperate, it will naturally be troublesome, but if they cooperate, it will be different.”

"for example……"

You regard her as your mentor, but she sees you as mere food on her plate.

talking.

Zhu Ju flicked his finger, and a round mirror appeared out of thin air in the room as his fingertip sparked with spiritual light.

The Mirror Technique!
The mirror-like water rippled, reflecting the image of Ming Nianwei lying unconscious on the soft couch.

Her forehead, wrists, and chest were shimmering with a faint halo of light, which coalesced into a strange rune.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have changed your fundamental cultivation method. This method seems to be able to greatly increase your cultivation level, and you will be able to advance to the seventh rank in no time."

Zhu Ju spoke slowly:
"In reality, it's about refining your physical body into a vessel for others to possess, so as to lay a solid foundation for the next step."

“Ming Nianwei…”

"Think about it carefully, and you should be able to tell that something is wrong."
