Chapter 334: Chapter 326: Master Yin Yue
Translator: 549690339
A moment later.
Under He Song’s close watch, Wang Duan’s body started moving again.
First, he lifted his arms.
Then, he kicked his legs.
As the various movements became smoother,
Wang Duan took a deep breath and sighed with satisfaction.
“Over a hundred years.”
“More than a hundred years.”
“Finally, I can feel the taste of spirit Qi again.”
After taking a deep breath, Wang Duan, no, at this moment, he should be called Master Yin Yue.
A strong sense of satisfaction appeared on Master Yin Yue’s face.
For a moment, Master Yin Yue’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.
To think that he, a Later Stage of Golden Elixir cultivator and an elder of the
Sun Faction, had suffered a heavy injury while fighting for an opportunity and was forced to flee desperately.
After escaping, he settled down here due to the severe injury.
In the end, he passed away because of his injuries, but at the time, his enemies were still searching for him, so he couldn’t leave this cave mansion to seize others’ bodies.
Once he left this cave mansion, he would be found, and he’d die.
Fortunately, he obtained an opportunity in his early years.
That’s the seemingly muddy thing that covers his Golden Elixir.
It’s called Soul-Congealing Soil, which can seal the Golden Elixir after refining. As long as the divine sense is hidden in it, the spirit Qi within the Elixir will not disperse.
In this way, when the time is right, he can control the Golden Elixir, seize other people’s bodies, and live a second life.
That’s also why he left misleading information in the jade slip in front of the skeleton in his secret chamber.
His calculations were clear.
If his cave mansion were to be discovered after a hundred years, no matter how many people gathered outside, the first person to enter the secret chamber would definitely not be weak.
Moreover, they would check the jade slip first.
Because he left some means on the jade slip and the storage bag.
When Wang Duan first entered the secret chamber, he encountered the means set up by Master Yin Yue, so he immediately inspected the jade slip.
Once reading the jade slip, the misleading information in it would make the first person to enter the secret chamber focus their attention on the scattered pills on the ground.
Before dying, he scattered some pills around the chamber to conceal his Golden Elixir, so it wouldn’t be taken away at a glance.
If his Golden Elixir were taken into a storage bag, how could he seize other people’s bodies?
Therefore, when Wang Duan believed the information in the jade slip and thought that he could become a Golden Elixir Master by swallowing the Golden Elixir, he unhesitatingly swallowed it.
As soon as the Golden Elixir was swallowed,
Master Yin Yue’s soul hidden within the Elixir could begin to seize Wang Duan’s body.
Until now,
Everything had been developing according to Master Yin Yue’s expectations.
However,
After feeling satisfied, when Master Yin Yue felt Wang Duan’s cultivation level, he realized that Wang Duan was only a Qi-refining late stage cultivator.
Moreover, from his memory, Wang Duan was just a junior cultivator who was kidnapped and brought here by a mysterious person.
Despite being a Golden Elixir Master, Master Yin Yue couldn’t help but feel frustrated at this moment. When Master Yin Yue opened his eyes again,
His expression became gloomy.
“You really are cunning. This trick of shifting the focus really made me fall for it.”
“Now that your goal has been achieved, why don’t you show yourself?”
At this moment, Master Yin Yue was incredibly frustrated.
Who was he?
He was a Golden Elixir Master!
He originally thought that his plotting worked, and he had finally seized a cultivator’s body, ready to start a new life.
But to his surprise, he was played by someone.
Not only had he seized a minor Qi-refining late stage cultivator,
But there was also an unknown cultivator hiding in the shadows and watching everything.
Who wouldn’t be frustrated in this situation?
At this moment, Master Yin Yue really wished he could find He Song and tear him apart to relieve his hatred.
However, after calculating the strength of both sides, Master Yin Yue didn’t show too much aggressiveness. Instead, he wanted to negotiate.
After all, facing the goodwill of a Golden Elixir Master, the cultivator hiding in the dark should not be too hard on him, right?
Master Yin Yue thought in his heart, but he was also prepared to fight at any time.
Although his current cultivation was low and his divine sense couldn’hui be forcibly used because of his weak body, with his experience as a Golden Elixir Master, he should be able to deal with some crises.
After all, being able to think of using a Qi Refining stage cultivator as a bait meant that the hidden cultivator’s cultivation should not be too high. If they were in the Golden Elixir Realm, why would they need to bother so much?
While thinking about all this,
Master Yin Yue forcibly endured the discomfort caused by his spirit and flesh not being aligned,
and searched his storage bag from his time as a Golden Elixir cultivator for some life-saving spirit amulets, while also secretly sensing the array formation in this area.
As a Golden Elixir Master, this was his resting place after all.
How could he not have left a backup plan for himself?
That Golden Elixir Array set up outside the cave mansion was his backup plan.
He left enough spirit stones for that Golden Elixir Array to last over a hundred years, in case his enemies found this place again during that time.
He also left some spirit stones hidden to ensure that after he successfully took over a cultivator’s body, he could quickly connect to the Golden Elixir Array and control it to kill enemies.
In this way, even if the Golden Elixir Array outside the cave mansion dissipated due to lack of spirit stones.
Once he successfully took over a cultivator’s body, he could rely on his connection with the Golden Elixir Array to reactivate it.
At that time, as long as he stayed within the coverage of the array, his safety would be guaranteed.
As a Golden Elixir Master, he had meticulously planned everything.
After taking over the cultivator’s body, he immediately took out a spirit amulet to protect himself and controlled the Golden Elixir Array to kill all the cultivators within the valley.
Thus, he would not only enrich his resources, but also eliminate everyone who had seen his new identity.
It would make his body possession seem very subtle and unnoticeable.
By the time someone noticed something was amiss, he would have already left this place to search for seclusive cultivation to recover his cultivation base.
So, there would be no need to worry about any aftermath.
Simply perfect.
However… as Master Yin Yue tried to sense the array, he realized that he could not detect it anymore.
While searching for the Life-saving Spirit Amulet, Master Yin Yue tried to sense the array, but he became slightly anxious.
Unable to sense the array.
Could it be that the spirit stones he had once left on the outskirts of the formation were gone?
Or… had the array malfunctioned?
However, he didn’t know that the original array had already dissipated.
The new array was set up by He Song himself, who now held control over it.
No matter how hard he tried, he could no longer detect the presence of the array in this place.
Wang Duan’s face showed a hint of urgency.
Seeing this scene, He Song raised his eyebrows.
Although Wang Duan’s voice remained the same. his tone and Dosture had
drastically changed from before.
It certainly wasn’t something that a mere Qi-refining late-stage cultivator could see through.
Even He Song, a Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, had only noticed something slightly off.
In order to ensure his own safety, he had captured Wang Duan and intended to use him to test for dangers.
He never expected to catch such a big fish.
As he listened to Wang Duan’s words.
He Song immediately connected the various strange occurrences he had seen in Wang Duan.
From the moment he entered the quiet room to face the jade slip and the storage bag, Wang Duan had a look of extreme greed in his eyes.
And then, when he picked up the Golden Elixir, he immediately stuffed it into his mouth.
After he swallowed the Golden Elixir, his entire body immediately stiffened, and soon after, his speaking style changed completely, as if he had become a different person.
Connecting these events together.
He Song instantly realized.
The Wang Duan before him now was most likely no longer the evil cultivator Wang Duan that he had captured.
Instead, he was the master of this Golden Elixir cave mansion, the Golden Elixir Master who had died here more than a hundred years ago!
Wang Duan had probably been mentally manipulated by some unknown method as soon as he entered the quiet room.
That’s why he was so easily taken over by the Golden Elixir Master and forced to change his nest.
However, no matter how much He Song thought, he couldn’t understand how the Golden Elixir Master, who had been dead for over a hundred years, could possess Wang Duan.
A hundred years, by this time, the divine sense within the Golden Elixir should have been worn away with the passage of time.
But now…
With a myriad of thoughts flashing through his mind, He Song looked at Wang Duan’s location, his hands already quietly starting to move.
He had already prepared himself; once it was confirmed that the person before him was not Wang Duan, they would be met with a storm-like attack.
He Song knew a thing or two about body possession.
There were many records about it in the Thick Earth Sect’s Book Collection Pavilion.
He deeply remembered that body possession had its consequences.
Among them, the most severe was the incompatibility between spirit and flesh in the years following possession.
Incompatibility between spirit and flesh would lead to a cultivator’s soul struggling to control their body.
Their skills would malfunction during casting.
Cultivation skills would deviate during practice.
Extending their divine sense too far would damage the body.
Even opening their own storage bag would become extremely troublesome.
Especially in cases like the current situation, where a Golden Elixir Master took over a Qi-refining cultivator’s body.
After possession, the Golden Elixir Master’s strength could not be fully utilized.
In other words,
Besides the soul controlling Wang Duan’s body being that of a Golden Elixir
Realm cultivator, there was not much difference between him and a Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator.
In fact, due to the incompatibility between spirit and flesh, his combat ability might even be worse than some Qi Refining Early Stage cultivators.
Under such circumstances,
He would have no resistance against He Song, who is at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
Even if the Golden Elixir Master possessed some remaining trump cards within his original storage bag, it would depend on whether He Song would allow him to use them.
After all, restricting a Qi Refining stage cultivator’s actions would be quite simple for a Late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
For example….
