Chapter 122: The Person Watching from the Shadows

Ye Lin was stunned.

Although the Great Sumeru Ring had storage functions, if he did not activate it himself, it was impossible for anything inside the storage space to come out.

Ye Lin reached out in confusion to grope around on the floor, and soon he touched a soft, bag-like object.

Ye Lin immediately realized that these were the seven brocade pouches that Zhuge Qianxing had left for him!

Zhuge Qianxing had told him that at important nodes in his life's trajectory, these pouches would open automatically.

Previously, when he was hesitating whether to kill Guo Qin, the first pouch had opened; now it was the second!

Ye Lin took a deep breath; he really wanted to know what was inside the pouch.

But there was a problem.

He was currently a blind man!

The corner of Ye Lin's mouth twitched slightly, then he stuffed the pouch into the Great Sumeru Ring, turned and ducked into the restroom, and chased out the maids who were prepared to serve him inside.

He didn't believe that no matter how awesome that person watching him from the shadows was, they could still monitor what he did in the restroom?

After entering the restroom, Ye Lin raced against time, letting his eyeballs regenerate rapidly.

After his vision was restored, he hurriedly looked at the second pouch, wanting to see what Zhuge Qianxing had left him.

But strangely, unlike the first pouch, in the second pouch, Zhuge Qianxing had left him no words at all, only two skill scrolls, and their grade was the most common—not even rare-grade skills.

"Master... what is the meaning of this?"

Ye Lin was a bit baffled; didn't he say this was an important node in his life? Zhuge Qianxing just left him two bundles of scrolls?

No!

Based on his understanding of his master Zhuge Qianxing, Zhuge Qianxing would never do anything without meaning; perhaps the secret was hidden within these two bundles of ordinary skill scrolls.

Ye Lin began to examine the two skill scrolls.

【Afterimage Technique: The user conjures an afterimage in front of themselves to confuse the enemy.】

【Turtle Breathing Technique: The user can make their breathing rhythm slower and slower until it stops completely, entering a state of suspended animation.】

Ye Lin took a look, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

The Afterimage Technique was alright; for assassin and warrior classes, this skill could be considered somewhat useful.

As for the Turtle Breathing Technique... being able to enter a state of suspended animation wasn't actually bad; if one couldn't beat the enemy, one could pretend to be dead, but the problem was that this skill had a wind-up time—it required controlling the breathing rhythm for a period before entering suspended animation. Wasn't this just a scam?

But fortunately, Ye Lin had his second class talent: Ultimate Sublimation!

"Master, could it be that you even calculated my second class talent?"

Ye Lin muttered to himself and directly activated the Turtle Breathing Technique. If nothing went wrong, the Forbidden Spells evolved from these two skills should be of great use to him!

【Class talent Ultimate Sublimation activated, Turtle Breathing Technique has been upgraded to Great Void Technique.】

【Forbidden Spell—Great Void Technique: The Forbidden Spellcaster sacrifices one of their own bones every minute to enter a void state, achieving a complete invisibility effect. This Forbidden Spell will be deactivated when launching an attack or being hit by an attack.】

Watching his body gradually become transparent and finally disappear completely, a hint of amazement appeared in the depths of Ye Lin's eyes.

With this Forbidden Spell, he could indeed get rid of the person monitoring him without a sound.

But this was also useless; if that person monitoring him discovered that Ye Lin had disappeared, it would only bring Ye Lin even greater trouble.

It seemed the answer might lie in the second bundle of skill scrolls.

Ye Lin believed that Zhuge Qianxing would absolutely not shoot without a target.

Ye Lin directly activated the Afterimage Technique.

【Class talent Ultimate Sublimation activated, Afterimage Technique has been upgraded to One Qi Becomes Three Purities.】

【Forbidden Spell—One Qi Becomes Three Purities: The Forbidden Spellcaster loses half of their own lifespan to conjure a clone that is exactly the same as the current main body; up to three clones can exist simultaneously.】

【Note: When a clone dies, the main body is not affected; when the main body dies, the clones disappear along with it.】

As a mass of flesh and blood continuously constructed itself before his eyes, an identical version of Ye Lin appeared.

Except for the fact that this clone wore no clothes and lacked equipment like the Great Sumeru Ring, it was no different from his real self, even the level and such were the same as his own.

Ye Lin had originally been curious about how to control the clone after it appeared, but now he discovered that after having an extra clone, it was actually no different from an extension of his own flesh and blood; with just a thought, the clone could make the corresponding reaction.

Ye Lin's breathing suddenly became rapid.

He just said it!

He just said that Zhuge Qianxing couldn't possibly be fooling him!

These two Forbidden Spells, Great Void Technique and One Qi Becomes Three Purities, stacked together, could perfectly solve his current predicament.

First, use One Qi Becomes Three Purities to leave a clone to keep wandering around the Ji family, making that person watching from the shadows think he was still here, while his main body used the Great Void Technique to slip out and use a Phantom Mask to change his face to go grind monsters—wouldn't that be wonderful?

No sooner said than done, Ye Lin took off all his clothes and put them on the clone.

To make it more realistic, he even took off the Yin-Yang Twin Bracelets and the Imperial Dragon Wish-Fulfilling Ring from his body and gave them to the clone.

After this operation, except for not having the Undying Body, the clone was already exactly the same as the original Ye Lin.

"Perfect!"

Ye Lin nodded with satisfaction, then paused for a moment.

"No! Almost forgot this!"

Ye Lin reached out, plucked the clone's eyeballs out, and flushed them directly down the toilet.

Just now, in order to read the pouch, he had regenerated his eyeballs, so the clone also had eyes; now there was no problem.

Ye Lin controlled the clone, letting it push the door open and walk out, while he himself activated the Afterimage Technique and completely entered an invisible state.

The clone walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and muttered to itself.

"Open the balcony door; I want to catch some breeze."

"Very well, Young Master Ye."

Two black-stockinged maids immediately opened the balcony door for the clone, and Ye Lin's main body also took the opportunity to slip out at this moment.

With the existence of the Great Void Technique, although there were many people throughout the Ji family, not a single person could discover Ye Lin's existence.

Ye Lin's main body was not in a hurry to leave, but instead kept a close eye on the clone's movements.

He controlled the clone to walk onto the balcony, enjoying the blowing of the night wind.

Immediately after, Ye Lin sensed a very subtle change appearing before his eyes; a faint shadow, like a ghost, emerged on the wall on the other side of the balcony, without making a sound.

Ye Lin's heart stirred; he knew this was the person who had been monitoring him from the shadows.

If he hadn't deceived this person with two Forbidden Spells, Ye Lin wouldn't have even been able to discover where this person was hiding.

Just as Ye Lin was staring at the other party, the shadow suddenly raised its head abruptly, and its sinister gaze instantly locked onto Ye Lin's line of sight!
