Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"Have you ever seen this person?" Manager Lin used his spiritual sense to invade the skinny monkey's sea of ​​consciousness.

Manager Lin sent a message in.

"Ah, I've seen it! I've seen it!" the skinny monkey nodded repeatedly.

It turned out that Manager Lin had passed on Jiang Shi's appearance to Skinny Monkey.

Only those with strong spiritual awareness can accomplish this.

Spiritual awareness is a manifestation of a person's powerful soul; the stronger the spiritual awareness, the more wonderful applications it has.

If a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they may even be able to possess another body and be reborn.

Skinny Monkey answered every question from Manager Lin with utmost respect.

As a mere Qi Refining Stage 4 cultivator, how could he dare offend Steward Lin?

He told Jiang Shi everything.

Even Guo Yun's secrets were revealed.

"You can even learn the 'Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique'!" Manager Lin frowned, his admiration for Jiang Shi growing stronger.

Jiang Shi, possessing the aptitude of five spiritual roots, was able to master all five spiritual techniques of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and cultivate each of them to perfection.

Now he has mastered the "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique".

This level of comprehension is terrifying!

His daughter Lin Yanyi's comprehension is already one in a million, while Jiang Shi is simply a monster.

"Unfortunately, I must ensure that Yan Yi achieves perfect foundation building."

Manager Lin's face was gloomy. No matter how good Jiang Shi's comprehension was, it was useless in his eyes. He only had one goal.

"Senior, I've told you everything I know. What do you think?" the skinny monkey cultivator said nervously. He was terrified of the person in front of him; in his presence, he felt like a little chick, completely insecure.

"Take me to see your boss, Guo. I have something to ask him," Manager Lin said in a deep voice.

The skinny monkey cultivator dared not resist and had no choice but to obediently lead the way.

At this moment, Guo Yun was setting up a stall to sell some of the things he had previously stolen.

He saw the skinny monkey coming and assumed that there had been progress on the matter he had previously instructed.

"How is it? Has that fat sheep left the market?" Guo Yun asked eagerly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person standing in front of the skinny monkey.

"Huh? Senior, what do you need me for?" Guo Yun was startled after just one glance at Steward Lin.

Qi Refining Stage Perfection! This damned guy brought me back a jinx.

Guo Yun wished he could tear the skinny monkey to pieces.

Although Guo Yun was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, he was still a nobody compared to Steward Lin.

It is important to know that if one has the Foundation Establishment Pill to assist in breaking through from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the tenth level, one can open the Purple Mansion and successfully establish the foundation.

"You two, come with me. I have something to tell you." Manager Lin led the two men out of the market.

But Guo Yun stopped just as he reached the entrance of the market for scattered cultivators.

He bowed his head and respectfully said to Steward Lin:

"Senior, is there something you can't say here?"

Guo Yun was a seasoned veteran, so naturally he didn't dare to leave the market with such a powerful cultivator.

Otherwise, even if you die, there's nowhere to seek justice.

"You're quite cautious, kid," Manager Lin said dismissively.

"But it's too late!"

Guo Yun realized something was wrong and tried to run into the market.

But with a slight twitch of his finger, Manager Lin's spiritual sense pierced through his body and invaded Guo Yun's sea of ​​consciousness.

Guo Yun also used his spiritual sense to resist with all his might.

He could awaken his spiritual sense at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but his spiritual sense was far inferior to that of Steward Lin.

Suddenly frozen in place, Steward Lin slowly walked out of the market.

Guo Yun and the skinny monkey followed behind like puppets.

"What are you doing!" The guards at the entrance of the market for rogue cultivators noticed their odd behavior.

He quickly called for help and rushed to Manager Lin's side.

Private fights are not allowed in the market for independent cultivators. After all, it is a market for trade. If everyone fights privately, the market will not be able to be built.

Ignoring the guards, Steward Lin raised his hand and planted strands of magical power on Guo Yun to prevent him from breaking through the control of his spiritual sense.

At this moment, a cultivator dressed in a Taoist robe rushed over, his body surging with magical power, and confronted Manager Lin.

"Fellow Daoist, for some reason, you have made a move in my loose cultivator market. Don't you know that this is breaking the rules?" The newcomer was Liu Yue, the market manager, who was also a cultivator at the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage.

Therefore, he was not afraid of Manager Lin.

Manager Lin calmly took out something and flashed it in front of Liu Yue.

"So you're a senior brother from the Qingyun Sect! My apologies for not recognizing you sooner!"

Manager Lin produced a small jade token, which could prove his identity as a disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

Qingyun Sect is one of the three major sects in Canglin City, and it is a sect protected by Golden Core cultivators.

They are independent repair shops and markets that you can't afford to offend.

"These two have committed a serious crime on my Qingyun Mountain. I've come to arrest them and bring them back to the mountain. Will you try to stop me?" Steward Lin said in a deep voice.

"No, no. These two have offended the Qingyun Sect; they've brought this upon themselves. If anyone else is so foolish, just give the order, and I'll take care of them for you."

Liu Yue tried to get closer to him.

If they offend the Qingyun Sect, especially the scions of aristocratic families, then these rogue cultivators will have no way to survive.

Manager Lin led Guo Yun and the other man away.

Seeing that Steward Lin had walked away, Liu Yue cursed inwardly:

"These damned young masters from aristocratic families really don't treat rogue cultivators like human beings. Once I get the chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I'll make them pay."

Then he looked at the guards at the door and shouted:

"Next time, keep your eyes open and ask who the other person is first. Offending a member of a powerful clan—are you trying to get me killed?"

"If this happens again, you'll be sorry!"

Liu Yue couldn't afford to offend Steward Lin, so he took his anger out on the guards.

The guards, enraged, vented their anger on low-level cultivators passing by.

Jiang Shi was unaware that Manager Lin had arrived at the market for scattered cultivators and caused trouble.

He is now diligently cultivating, striving to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Three months later, Jiang Shi broke through in his cultivation technique.

【The Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique: Mastery (10/3000)】

The Lesser Mastery of the "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique" can transform into three different characters, while the Greater Mastery of the "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique" can transform into ten different characters.

Moreover, even Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot see through Jiang Shi's identity.

Unfortunately, this technique only has the first level.

Now, all that's left is the ability to transform into different characters; it completely fails to unleash the formidable skills of the legendary Hundred Illusions Master from back then.

"If I have the chance in the future, I want to collect all of the 'Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique'."

After Jiang Shi mastered the technique, he began to change his form and buy talisman paper and cinnabar in the market of rogue cultivators to make and sell talismans.

To avoid attracting attention, he disguised himself as a different person each time.

Moreover, he even used the "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique" to simulate the aura of a cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage.

This can deter many petty thieves from spying.

A cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage is considered a senior figure among independent cultivators.

If Guo Yun had met Jiang Shi now, he wouldn't have dared to utter a single word.

This is also one of the abilities of the "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique".

When changing characters, it can simulate the aura of someone with high cultivation level.

However, with his current cultivation level of the fifth stage of Qi Refining, he can only simulate the aura of the ninth stage of Qi Refining.

To go any higher, one must break through the Foundation Establishment stage before being able to perform transformation simulations.
