Chapter 3096: then translation of chapter title

From the viewpoint of He Ming's two disciples, they merely listed the required pills and quantities, arranged meetings with some Elders and disciples, and Jin Chengshan also agreed to give them eighty drops of Life Spring Water.

Then the Second Clone used the Red Pupil Illusion Technique to make He Ming forget all their conspiracies, leaving only what they had agreed to in front of the disciples; he also signed an equal contract guaranteeing the transaction with He Ming, scheduled a deal with the Xu Dan Sect two months later, and left with the Magic Vine.

He Ming also thought everything was proceeding very smoothly.

Eighty drops of Life Spring Water could at least restore the vitality of nearly twenty Elders of the Xu Dan Sect, which is already a huge contribution for the Xu Dan Sect.

So he cheerfully returned to the Sect, reported to the Sect Leader, and then went to prepare pills for Ye Liuyun.

After leaving the restaurant, the Second Clone again took control of the royal guard, kept watch on the Ninth Prince's dealings with Chen Xing and Liu Yuanyang, then left the city with the Magic Vine, changed his appearance, stored the Magic Vine, and returned to Ye Liuyun's Side Courtyard.

The First Clone did not linger, captured two nearby refinery masters, and then returned to rendezvous with Ye Liuyun.

When the three of them met, Ye Liuyun told Qiong Qi all the Wan Hua Sect information from Yao Feng's Sea of Consciousness, and also handed Yao Feng over to him, letting him figure out how to infiltrate the Wan Hua Sect.

He really doesn't understand Formation, so infiltrating is useless; at most he can cooperate with Qiong Qi to get in, helping him capture some Array Masters and disciples.

After careful study, Qiong Qi immediately entered the First Clone's Space World to accelerate cultivation of the Thousand Illusion Technique, preparing to infiltrate the Wan Hua Sect.

This Thousand Illusion Technique was originally obtained together with Ye Liuyun, but he has hardly used it, so he is not as proficient as Ye Liuyun.

The few newly captured refinery masters were all handed by Ye Liuyun to Tong Xin, to keep an eye on and use them.

He gave the purchased pill cauldrons to Lin Luoyi for distribution, and also told them that the Nine Dragon River Mountain Cauldron could be upgraded a grade after a month.

After capturing the refinery masters, he would also help them forge better pill cauldrons; this Seventh Tier one could be awarded by Lin Luoyi to other disciples, and she and Lin Xiyao could use better pill cauldrons.

That Space Kuailei and the true‑tier ninth‑grade Flying Boat were both kept by Ye Liuyun nearby for backup.

The high‑end resources they looted were immediately assigned to both clones to promptly refine.

The Soul with Red Eye was transferred by Ye Liuyun back into his own Sea of Consciousness, where he would focus on cultivating and strengthening it.

The next day, they received a Transmission Voice from the controlled guard, saying the Ninth Prince had arranged to meet Chen Xing and Liu Yuanyang that night at the restaurant to finalize the forging plan.

They even gave Ye Liuyun in advance the private room they had booked at the restaurant.

So Ye Liuyun arrived early at the restaurant, booked a private room next to theirs, released the Monster Beasts, letting them all improve a bit.

They had been quietly cultivating lately, so they took the chance to go out and have a big meal.

Ye Liuyun first used space compression to squeeze a crack in the ninth‑layer void of the private room the Ninth Prince had reserved, preparing for any contingency.

Then he sent a clone with the Monster Beasts to continue feasting, while he changed his appearance and went to the open seating area beneath the restaurant to wait for the Ninth Prince and Chen Xing, Liu Yuanyang.

Not long after, the Ninth Prince arrived early with his guards.

Ye Liuyun sat downstairs pretending to eat, but used the Red Eye on his Soul to cast an illusion on the Ninth Prince, making him think he had received a secret order from the Fire Seal King, compelling him to obey all commands.

The Red Eye was indeed powerful, weaving the illusion extremely quickly; the Ninth Prince, as soon as he passed by, was already entranced.

This Ninth Prince, named Jiang Yunhan, originally was not highly regarded by Fire Seal King Jiang Yuantang.

The four princes Jiang Yuantang valued have already taken troops into Xingkong to seize resources.

Jiang Yunhan also wanted to use this chance to reach out to major forces and important figures, expand his power, and prepare for vying for the throne.

He not only had those eight golden‑armor guards, but also two Unified Ninefold guard elites within the Space World, which was already sufficient to protect him.

However, his Sea of Consciousness contained a royal Soul Mark; Ye Liuyun could not control him, so he could only use illusion to deceive him, making him leave with his guards immediately, the farther the better, and not return to the Royal Palace.

He also made him transfer all his carried resources into a Storage Ring, then let a stealthy thief cat silently take his resources, leaving him only a Transmission Talisman, a true‑tier ninth‑grade Flying Boat, a bit of Primordial Power, and some Divine Crystals—enough for his two‑month use.

Jiang Yunhan immediately complied, without hesitation left with his guards, released the Flying Boat left by the thief cat, and after racing through Xingkong for two months, returned to the Royal Palace.

Those guards were puzzled why they suddenly left.

But Jiang Yunhan said nothing, and they couldn't ask, so they just obeyed and left with Jiang Yunhan.

After boarding the Flying Boat, Jiang Yunhan, following Ye Liuyun's instructions and citing secrecy, threw his and those guards' Transmission Talismans out of the Flying Boat.

After they left, Ye Liuyun first exited the restaurant, then left the city to a deserted spot, transformed into Jiang Yunhan's appearance, also had a clone take the form of a golden‑armor guard; the two then altered their realm aura again and hurried back to the restaurant.

The restaurant, confused, saw Jiang Yunhan come and go, but this time only with one guard; they assumed the other guards were sent on an urgent task, didn't ask further, and invited him into the private room.

They also told him that Chen Xing and Liu Yuanyang had arrived.

After Ye Liuyun entered the private room, he explained to Chen Xing and Liu Yuanyang that some urgent matters required the guards to be dispatched.

Those two refinery masters also knew Jiang Yunhan had been here before, hurried away, guessed he truly had business, so they didn't mind.

Then they all sat down to chat.

Ye Liuyun, while confirming the forging plan with them, simultaneously used the Red Eye to act on each of them, making them think their lives were in Ye Liuyun's hands.

In their memories, they believed it was Ninth Prince Jiang Yunhan who suddenly acted against them, and through his powerful Soul forced them to sign a Master‑Servant Contract.

They still hoped their clan would notice the disappearance of the contract they had signed with the clan and would try to rescue them.

In reality, the contracts in their Sea of Consciousness had not changed at all; they were merely under an illusion.

Then, following Ye Liuyun's instructions, they recruited two more refinery masters and several promising disciples, saying they needed their help.

Their two identities and prestige were originally not low, so when they called, those people were not suspicious, arrived here one after another, and each was controlled by Ye Liuyun with the Red Eye.

After most of them arrived, Ye Liuyun employed time freeze, planted a Slave Seal on them all, erased the contracts they had previously signed, then left the restaurant directly, exited the city, changed his appearance, and returned to the inn.
