Chapter 30: 【Finding an Opportunity, Transforming and Sneaking In】 (Seeking recommendation votes)

Chen Sanqing was a sword cultivator.

Sword cultivators didn't need other Dharma artifacts, only one or many flying swords.

Their combat power couldn't just be looked at by the cultivation realm.

Not every cultivator who used a flying sword could call themselves a sword cultivator.

To be called a sword cultivator, at the very least, one needed to possess small-success level sword intent.

With this sword intent, one sword could kill a demon, and Qi Refining Realm demons couldn't get close!

Chen Sanqing had a good background, coming from the "Qiushui Sword Manor," which was a Foundation Establishment family, and the Chen family had practiced the Qiushui Sword Art for generations, entering the Dao with the sword.

This guy realized sword intent at the age of nine, his sword intent reached the subtle level at twelve, and two years ago, that is, at the age of fifteen, his sword intent reached the "small success" level.

Acting against him, Lu Chengtong still had some concerns in his heart.

Sword cultivators had firm will; from the personal experience of Chen Sanqing obtained from the outside world, he didn't seem to have any miserable experiences, so it wasn't easy to implant hatred, unless everything was fabricated from scratch.

But it was very difficult to change the will of a sword cultivator, and now he was thinking of implanting a large amount of information, which was too risky.

Once it failed, maybe he would have the risk of exposure.

This person, find an opportunity, and do it slowly.

Lu Chengtong began to analyze Chen Sanqing's behavioral trajectory more meticulously.

Soon, he discovered that Chen Sanqing would go to the "Yi Sword Valley" once a month, and after coming out, his expression would be quite listless.

In the Yi Sword Valley, there was a broken sword, which was the broken sword of a sword cultivator, containing powerful sword intent.

Sword cultivators sparred with sword intent, which could enhance their own sword intent.

But, after sparring, their own sword intent would be consumed, and it was also a not-small burden on the soul, plus their own cultivation also needed to consume soul power, so Chen Sanqing only went to that place once a month.

That kind of place could only be gone to by sword cultivators; if ordinary cultivators went in, even Foundation Establishment True Persons would have their souls broken by the sword intent and become walking corpses.

This was an opportunity.

As long as he could come into contact with Chen Sanqing, whose soul was weak, he could complete the memory tampering.

Lu Chengtong investigated Chen Sanqing's action trajectory and found that every time he went to the Yi Sword Valley, he would immediately return to his own residence on Lingjian Peak.

There was almost no opportunity to approach.

Lingjian Peak couldn't be broken into by force; he had no excuse to enter. 【30-

But Heaven does not disappoint those who try, and he still found a method.

Yi Sword Valley is right next to Caiyi Peak; every time Chen Sanqing went inside for trials, Yan Jiaojiao would stand outside waiting, and upon seeing him appear, she would pester him.

Yan Jiaojiao is twenty-one years old, four years older than Chen Sanqing, and has been in the sect for nine years.

Previously, she would not give the time of day to any male disciple who showed interest, and was rumored to be an 'Ice Beauty,' but after Chen Sanqing displayed 'Minor Accomplishment' level sword intent, she took the initiative to go and show him care and concern.

At the same time, she intimidated other female disciples who attempted to get close to Chen Sanqing.

She treated him as if he were a 'child husband,' and it has been over two years since then.

It is very difficult to move the heart of a sword cultivator; one cannot say there is no affection between the two, nor is it particularly deep, but habit is a terrifying thing, and Yan Jiaojiao's methods are very formidable; she has now made Chen Sanqing accustomed to her presence.

Therefore, when Yan Jiaojiao follows Chen Sanqing back to Lingjian Peak daily, no one stops her.

Lu Chengtong's idea was to follow Yan Jiaojiao inside.

Yan Jiaojiao has one Foundation Establishment spirit beast and three Qi Refining spirit beasts, among which a Qi Refining seventh-layer Purple Lightning Marten is always by her side.

Every time she went to Lingjian Peak, this Purple Lightning Marten followed.

Lu Chengtong possesses the 【Embryonic Transformation】 supernatural power; as long as he obtains a single drop of its blood, he can transform into that form.

He could then replace the Purple Lightning Marten and follow Yan Jiaojiao into Lingjian Peak.

In this way, if he wanted to make a move on Chen Sanqing, he would also need to deal with Yan Jiaojiao, who acts in tandem with him.

As it happens, when Yan Jiaojiao goes to Lingjian Peak, she does not bring that Foundation Establishment spirit beast along, so he could take the opportunity to tamper with her memories.

The Treasure Mirror will deal with Chen Sanqing, and he will deal with Yan Jiaojiao; this is just right.

Over the next few days, Lu Chengtong found an opportunity to trade for a task from a fellow disciple to deliver spirit fruits to Caiyi Peak.

Do not underestimate this task.

In reality, it is a highly sought-after job.

It is not because Caiyi Peak has many young and beautiful female disciples, but because during the process of distributing spirit fruits, one can skim off a portion.

Some spirit beasts eat less or are unwilling to eat, so these can be saved and kept for oneself.

Additionally, there are feathers, scales, and the like dropped by spirit beasts—things that the disciples of Caiyi Peak do not care for—which can be taken outside and sold to loose cultivators, providing another source of wealth.

Therefore, this kind of good thing requires competition, based on seniority.

Lu Chengtong spent some Gathering Qi Pills before he finally obtained this opportunity.

The cost this time was not small.

It would be too much of a loss to only obtain one drop of the Purple Lightning Marten's blood.

With Lu Chengtong's current methods, obtaining the blood of any spirit beast below the Foundation Establishment realm would be no problem.

So he simply went and collected from every target he could encounter and make a move on.

Counting the Purple Lightning Marten, there were thirty-seven types of spirit beasts in total; by refining the blood of these spirit beasts, he could gain thirty-seven types of transformations.

Not to mention anything else, the transformation ability alone is worthy of the name 'supernatural power.'

Although he cannot perfectly inherit all the bloodline abilities of the spirit beasts, he possesses some basic physical characteristics.

For example, birds can fly, fish can dive, and so on.

Demonic beasts have even more basic abilities, and with various mutually reinforcing and restraining methods, having one more transformation means having one more ability to deal with dangerous environments.

Returning to the herb garden, Lu Chengtong refined these blood samples one by one and experimented with various transformation forms.

He discovered a problem.

Although the form can be completely changed, the body size cannot be altered too much.

Taking his human form as the baseline, he can shrink to at most one-tenth of his original mass and increase to at most five times his original mass.

Whether shrinking or enlarging, maintaining a form different from his original body consumes divine soul power.

In other words, it falls within the scope of the supernatural power continuously consuming divine soul power.

Fortunately, the Purple Lightning Marten's size is neither too big nor too small, roughly equivalent to one-ninth the mass of an adult human, looking like a small fox.

With purple fur mixed with snow-white fur, it looks refined and quite beautiful.

This creature not only has a high aesthetic appeal but also possesses decent attack power, can control lightning, and contains potent poison.

Being bitten by it, with the two states of poisoning and paralysis superimposed, very few Qi Refining creatures can withstand it.

Although it is only at the seventh layer of Qi Refining, many Qi Refining perfection demonic beasts give it a wide berth.

Calculating the time, Lu Chengtong arrived outside Caiyi Peak in advance, transformed into the appearance of the Purple Lightning Marten, and was 'accidentally' seen by an outer sect disciple, who then carried him back into the peak.

Naturally, she saw a second Purple Lightning Marten.

He swapped her memories slightly.

At the same time, he used the 【Soul-Bewitching Soul-Seizing】 supernatural power to make the real Purple Lightning Marten faint and hid it away.

The next day, Lu Chengtong, disguised as the Purple Lightning Marten, saw Yan Jiaojiao appear.

There is a divine soul connection between a beast tamer and their spirit beast, which cannot be imitated, but Lu Chengtong could blur Yan Jiaojiao's memories regarding this aspect, making her not think in that direction.

Lu Chengtong did not have absolute certainty in this method, but it was worth a try.

Seeing Yan Jiaojiao appear, he immediately activated his supernatural power to blur her memories of the contract connection and amplify her obsession with Chen Sanqing; sure enough, she did not think much of it, picked up the Purple Lightning Marten, and went to wait outside Yi Sword Valley.
