Chapter 172 The Master's Appearance?

After seeing Yan Ruyu off, Li Wei thought for a moment and realized that he didn't seem to have anything to do.

In the Kongsang Sect, the duty of the Holy Son is to cultivate diligently, break through to the Void Realm or even the Eternal Tribulation as soon as possible, and suppress the Demon Clan.

Even the elders still have to carry out some teaching work, while the Holy Son, who does not serve as the sect leader, is a truly idle person.

He wandered around Nanshan twice, greeted his senior and junior sisters, and then returned to his room to study the gear.

One of the remaining tasks he had for coming to the Northern Dynasty was to gather intelligence on military matters.

Originally, he could have used his invisibility to force his way in, but upon closer examination, doing so would have been somewhat inappropriate.

Firstly, there are also experts in the capital of Wei. If he were to run into one, wouldn't he be in trouble?

Secondly, he didn't know where the Wei army's secrets were hidden, and searching or eavesdropping was too reliant on luck and inefficient.

He and Shang Xueyan are now in a master-disciple and ally relationship. Shang Xueyan has some confidants in the Kongsang Sect and certainly some influence in the Wei Kingdom. So he can ask Shang Xueyan to help him infiltrate the Wei Kingdom's officialdom.

He acted on his idea immediately. Yesterday, he had already mentioned to Shang Xueyan his desire to infiltrate the Wei state's officialdom, and she had agreed. She even said she would try to find a position related to military affairs.

Li Wei knew that if he wanted to infiltrate the Wei state's officialdom, he would need to conceal his appearance.

After all, the Wei state officials would not tolerate him wearing a mask, and as a young poet, his original appearance would be easily recognized by the people of Wei.

That's why he asked Xie Youshan for the disguise technique.

It had only been three days since his last dream, and Li Wei would have to wait another four days before he could obtain the disguise technique that Xie Youshan had requested for him. So he had indeed been quite free these past few days.

He held the gear in his hand and examined it carefully with his divine sense.

This part weighs approximately several tens of kilograms and shows no signs of extraneous structure or etching.

From the outside, it looks like a very ordinary involute gear.

But its appearance in this world is very abnormal.

Moreover, this gear has been buried underground for thousands of years, yet it shows no signs of rust and can even produce a wondrous reaction with the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

It's no wonder that those rulers felt there was a great secret hidden within.

Li Wei felt that its material was slightly heavier than iron, so he took out a long strip of parts from the ring and bent it forcefully.

It is very strong; he applied millions of pounds of force to both ends, and the delicate part only deformed slightly.

Keep in mind that this thing wasn't infused with his true energy; it was relying solely on its own strength to withstand the strain.

Even in my past life, no metal material had this strength.

"Those divine weapons and sharp blades, could they all be forged from this material?"

Li Wei took out the Dragon-Slaying Sword, weighed it carefully, and felt that the density was indeed very close.

It seems that the pile of parts I picked up is worth a lot even if it's just recycled as scrap.

"It's probably some kind of magic array inscribed inside, which divine sense can't penetrate—"

Li Wei carefully put these things away and paced back and forth in deep thought.

"Maybe I can figure out the situation by time travel later, and I can ask Shanshan next time I see her."

Li Wei did not fight to the death.

Those experts researched for thousands of years but couldn't figure it out. In the end, they could only melt down these parts and use them as forging materials.

He didn't think he could discover anything.

But his advantage is that he can see history directly through time travel.

Two days later, just when Li Wei was extremely bored, Shang Xueyan found him.

One million taels of silver occupied several cubic meters of space. Shang Xueyan didn't know he had a spatial ring, nor did she know he could use the system to absorb silver out of thin air, so of course she couldn't just hand it over to him.

Using the credentials of both Li Wei and herself, she directly entered the sect's treasury, took out the silver, and had her confidants exchange it for silver notes from several large banks in the Wei Kingdom.

The reason for finding Li Wei at this moment is to give him these silver notes.

"It's a pity I really don't dare to trust this cheap master, otherwise there would be no need for all this trouble."

Li Wei sighed inwardly and took the thick stack of silver notes from Shang Xueyan.

"Master, has the matter of the official position in Wei been settled?"

"You're trying to spy on military intelligence for that Princess Yuzhen, aren't you?"

Shang Xueyan sat down at the desk in Li Wei's room and asked as if it were a casual conversation.

This room was originally where she lived before she became the sect leader, and no one else had come in over the years. She would occasionally come back to stay for one night.

Of course, she's been coming here every night for the past few days, and this room has become her most familiar room again.

She watched as Li Wei put the stack of silver notes into his pocket, and pursed her lips slightly.

What's it like to have someone pay you to support a gigolo, but he actually has another rich woman behind your back?

"Ah? Right, I'm the chief advisor of the Princess's residence in Li Kingdom. Senior Sister Yan and Elder Yaoyue should have spoken to Master about this, right?"

"Yes, I already knew that. The Kongsang Party has no obligation to be loyal to the Wei Kingdom. Our mission from beginning to end has only been to suppress the Demon Tomb."

"However, it's not necessarily the same for those families. Some of them have interests deeply intertwined with the Wei court. You'd better not let them discover your true identity," Shang Xueyan warned.

"Definitely. I plan to disguise myself when I go to the capital of Wei this time."

Li Wei understood the meaning behind the other person's words and responded in this way.

"Disguise? Can I see how it works?"

Shang Xueyan said gently.

As a master of disguise, she was indeed curious about Li Wei's methods of disguise.

"Um, my disguise technique is a bit complicated, and it will take me a few more days to fully learn it," Li Wei quickly refused.

He doesn't know any disguise techniques now.

"Speaking of which, Master, may I see your face? Isn't it said that your Holy Maiden lineage wears veils to preserve the chastity of the Holy Son? Then, as the Holy Son—"

Having seen Yan Ruyu's face before, Li Wei became even more curious about Shang Xueyan's appearance. He wanted to see if she was worthy of the title of the third most beautiful woman in the world.

"Of course! As long as it's a reasonable request, Master won't refuse Xiao Wei."

Shang Xueyan couldn't help but say.

[Were you influenced by that person's personality? Never mind, it's just about appearance, it doesn't matter. Besides, this is the most brilliant aspect of the Myriad Transformations Technique; only a personality that even you can't completely control can truly deceive others.]

With that thought in mind, Shang Xueyan removed her veil.

Li Wei hadn't expected the other party to be so easy to talk to, and his image of this master became even more complicated.

She was indeed somewhat selfish and hypocritical, but she was genuinely kind to the younger generation, giving Li Wei a feeling of a gentle mother.

As Shang Xueyan removed her veil, a delicate nose and slightly full lips appeared in Li Wei's eyes, making her look quite sexy.

Her facial features are also extremely perfect, with slightly three-dimensional features and fair skin, making her a beauty that can be described as stunning.

The only flaw is that her eyes look somewhat lifeless.

But with that gentle temperament, she possesses a special charm.
