Chapter 2103: Grace of Rebirth!

She didn't just open one shop. The best cover is to work hard and make good money.

Dong Rui didn't understand: "Why a teahouse?"

"More refined than a wine shop, it can be modest or elegant, and it won't be too noisy." Mei Fei smiled, "You think, like officials such as You Huan and You Su, would they go to an ordinary wine shop to eat? But going to a newly opened teahouse,

renting a private room to listen to storytelling and sit for a while, that's fine. You know some teahouses also hire opera troupes, right?"

The privacy of teahouses is also better.

He Lingchuan also said: "Not bad, the officials and nobles of Mudu all like drinking tea; in the past, they shipped large quantities of tea leaves to Mu State via the Yangshan merchant route."

He took out a brocade pouch from his chest, two booklets, and placed them on the table: "These things are for you."

Mei Fei first picked up one booklet, flipped two pages, and suddenly realized: "Oh, a cipher?"

"After you go to Mu State, important content will be replaced with ciphers to avoid leaks." This is a cipher manual; even an ordinary greeting actually has a deeper meaning, "Memorize it on the road, then destroy it."

"Good." Mei Fei let out a soft breath.

She was about to live a double life like walking a tightrope again, and she still felt a little excited inside.

She picked up the brocade pouch again, glanced inside twice, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This—-dragon horn? But it doesn't seem to be the one I originally had!"

She had once used the dragon horn to steal Ming Deng grass, provoking conflict between Mu State and Chun State. After He Lingchuan saw through her scheme,

he took away the corner of the room.

Now this isn't returning something to its original owner, because the dragon horn in the brocade pouch is clearly not the original one!

"No, but it also comes from Qianhuan True Person, and it's a molt from when his cultivation became stronger." The true form of Qianhuan True Person is a Jiaotu, which can be imagined as a dragon living in a shell, naturally having horns. He Lingchuan casually taught her a new use: "Keep it for emergencies, but if you use it like you originally did, it's a violent heaven object."

Mei Fei was overjoyed, took it out to play with endlessly, never expecting the lost treasure to be recovered, and the quality returned by the Nine Abysses Great Emperor was even higher.

"The officials and constables of Mu State may usually have a bit of weak elemental power on them, insufficient for other things,

but seeing through your illusion techniques is not difficult. Even if you use the dragon horn very skillfully, you still can't match Qianhuan True Person, and you might not be able to fool their eyes. So one by one"

"You must use it carefully." Mei Fei interrupted, "I know."

There was also a red pearl in the brocade pouch, its shell transparent, inside seeming to have a wisp of smoke drifting to and fro.

"What is this?"

"An immortal's relic, the Stabilizing Spirit Pearl." He Lingchuan explained, "The more powerful cultivators Mu State has, the less likely someone will use soul-searching techniques on you to extract the truth. Following the method I gave you, you will refine this Stabilizing Spirit Pearl in your sea of consciousness.

Even if you are unknowingly ridden by someone, it can preserve a bit of your consciousness from extinction."

He paused: "As long as you don't encounter Miao Zhantian, and as long as the opponent cannot directly drag your soul and spirit to the True Eye for judgment, your chances of deceiving heaven and crossing the sea are very high."

This cheating method can help Mei Fei quickly gain trust from enemies. Didn't Miao Zhantian use the True Eye to judge He Lingchuan back then, which instead washed away his suspicions?

In the brocade pouch, there was indeed a slip recording the mantra, very concise.

Mei Fei glanced at it once and memorized it, asking him: "Can I swallow it now?"

"Yes."

Mei Fei picked up the red pearl and swallowed it in one gulp, then closed her eyes to circulate the technique.

She seemed not to fear He Lingchuan planting a restriction in this pearl to remotely control her.

Dong Rui watched from the side, truly somewhat admiring her,

being straightforward and blunt, showing complete trust in the Nine Abysses Great Emperor, which makes it easier to gain others' trust.

He Lingchuan's eyes are also sharp; someone with such courage and temperament is indeed good material for being a double agent.

After more than ten breaths, Mei Fei opened her eyes and smiled: "All right, it's nurtured in the sea of consciousness."

Keeping things in the sea of consciousness is a fresh and wonderful experience for her.

He Lingchuan lightly clapped: "Miss Mai has great courage."

The third item in the brocade pouch is a jade slip.

Mei Fei picked it up, extended her divine sense into it, and discovered it was indeed a heart method, named 《Breaking the Cocoon》.

"Heart method?" Mei Fei's lips curled into a wry smile, "With my constitution unsuitable for cultivation, I can only practice some light-body techniques."

He Lingchuan smiled slightly: "Who said that?"

"I used to—. She had been eager for revenge before, wanting to find a cultivator to become a disciple, and even You En Guang had someone specially examine her, but they came to this conclusion; she felt both aggrieved and unwilling, yet had no recourse.

But the Nine Abysses Great Emperor suddenly produced a heart method for her—what does this mean? Could it be that hope has reignited in her heart, making her voice tremble slightly, fearing that in the end it might just be empty joy:

"Are you saying, I, I can still cultivate?"

"Yes." The one who answered was Dong Rui beside her. He finally managed to interject, "Last time when I caught you in the suburbs of Chun Capital, I checked your meridians."

It's not that he's somehow big-hearted, but rather professional habit. He usually debugs demon puppets, starting with checking the meridians.

"Your meridians are weak and congested, incomparable to his naturally thick ones—" Dong Rui pointed at He Lingchuan, "but under the current spiritual energy density, you can still cultivate, it's just more difficult, requiring tailored teaching, and initially you'll need to spend more effort like grinding."

Mei Fei was overjoyed, her lovely face blooming like a fragrant lotus, indescribably beautiful:

"Then this 《Breaking the Cocoon》?"

"This is the heart method of the Phantom Sect. You also know that there is more than one kind of sea monster in the world; besides Qianhuan True Person, other monsters can also cultivate into sea monsters, such as the Vermilion Illusion Butterfly." The heart method was produced by He Lingchuan, but Dong Rui seized the chance to explain to the beauty, "Qianhuan True Person borrowed the divine talent of the Vermilion Illusion Butterfly, creating this 《Breaking the Cocoon》

heart method, taking the meaning of a caterpillar breaking its cocoon to become a butterfly, especially suitable for cultivating women with weak meridians and gentle dispositions,

its divine abilities mainly focus on illusion barriers, and can even confuse people's hearts."

Mei Fei held the transmission jade slip like holding her heart's treasure, her eyes filled with light.

She put aside her previous carelessness and solemnly bowed to the two:

"Thank you two for the grace of rebirth!"

Being able to cultivate, she now has greater self-protection ability.

Looking back, the person You En Guang found earlier who said she couldn't cultivate was either because the spiritual energy environment was bad then, or he was deceiving her!

Using such a delicate beauty as a pawn against Chun, she wouldn't cultivate, making her naturally easier to control.

Compared to You En Guang's methods, He Lingchuan, although also wanting to use her to infiltrate Mu State, openly gave her the cultivation method, and in terms of character and pattern, the judgment is clear.

"The entire Phantom Sect is under my command; if you have any difficulties, just write to me, they will surely be happy to answer." He Lingchuan raised his cup and took a light sip, "When your 《Breaking the Cocoon》 heart method achieves minor success, the Phantom Sect still has more divine abilities suitable for you to cultivate."

"Yes!" Consort Mei smiled at him, "Mei Wuniang will certainly bow and serve the Emperor with all her might!"
