Chapter 31

The process was very smooth; Lu Chengtong stayed by Yan Jiaojiao's side and followed her to Chen Sanqing's residence.

After entering the room, Chen Sanqing leaned back in a chair.

Yan Jiaojiao skillfully went behind him, placed her slender jade hands on Chen Sanqing's temples, and mobilized her spirit power to massage them.

It was not as simple as a mere massage; Lu Chengtong sensed that a special fluctuation was radiating from Yan Jiaojiao, a fluctuation that allowed Chen Sanqing's spirit to be greatly relaxed.

This should be Yan Jiaojiao's special constitution, the 'Five Fragrances Body,' which can influence emotions and naturally soothe the spirit.

The power of emotion is very subtle; great ups and downs provide an opportunity for great enlightenment.

This constitution is very special; Lu Chengtong felt that he might take the opportunity to obtain some of Yan Jiaojiao's blood as well, and perhaps he could acquire this constitution.

While massaging Chen Sanqing, Yan Jiaojiao said softly:

"Brother Qing, do not be in a rush to temper your sword intent; you are still young and can take it slowly. If you damage your divine soul, recovery will be even more time-consuming."

Chen Sanqing replied:

"Many thanks for your guidance, Senior Sister; I will be careful."

While speaking, Chen Sanqing's eyes remained fixed on the flying sword on the table, seemingly still savoring the gains he had just made in Yi Sword Valley.

Clearly, this guy had no intention of responding to the emotional signals Yan Jiaojiao was giving off.

Even if he were dull, after more than two years, he would have noticed; he was simply choosing to turn a blind eye on purpose.

Lu Chengtong could not be bothered to watch their performance; confirming there was no threat in the surroundings, he directly activated his supernatural power, using his own divine soul power to first bewitch Yan Jiaojiao, causing her to faint, while simultaneously triggering the Treasure Mirror to tamper with Chen Sanqing's memories.

As the supernatural power was activated, he sensed resistance; a sharp and lingering divine soul power surged back, but it was suppressed.

His sword intent had been consumed too much and could no longer stir up any waves.

Lu Chengtong began to delve into Chen Sanqing's memories.

Chen Sanqing was not as glamorous as he appeared on the surface.

He was a child born of a concubine; his mother was originally the Sword Master of Qiushui Sword Manor, which is to say, his father's sword attendant.

Later, after having him, she was given a formal status, but not long after, his mother died.

At that time, he was only two years old.

The subsequent memories were just constant martial arts practice, sword training, meditation, and Qi circulation, day after day.

Simply put, he had almost no childhood life.

Lu Chengtong quickly found a point of entry.

Chen Sanqing's mother had escaped from a Qi Refining family that was exterminated under the jurisdiction of the Jinfeng Immortal Sect; Lu Chengtong set the person behind the destruction of Chen Sanqing's maternal clan as Zhao Yongcheng.

He did not change too many memories; he just altered a final testament left by Chen Sanqing's mother before she died.

Chen Sanqing had deep feelings for his mother, precisely because he had almost no relationship with his father.

Therefore, this testament was enough to make him risk everything to seek revenge.

Once a sword cultivator determines something, unless they die, they must see it through!

This is the destiny of his life.

With the modification complete, Lu Chengtong set Chen Sanqing aside and looked at Yan Jiaojiao.

He checked her memories.

Yan Jiaojiao's early life experiences were even more miserable; her mother was a female cultivator engaged in the pleasure business, who accidentally became pregnant with her, and she did not even know who her father was.

She grew up in pleasure houses and saw too much of the decadent life; when she was ten, one of her mother's guests was targeted by enemies, implicating her mother and leading to her death. From then on, she wandered outside alone until she was twelve, when she was encountered by Yu Danning, who brought her back into the Immortal Sect to be taken as a personal disciple.

In an instant, she went from a lowly mortal beggar to a noble True Disciple of the Immortal Sect.

According to the rumors among the crowd, Yan Jiaojiao was supposed to be a noble lady from a major power or a great family; if people knew her past, one wonders if they would still pursue her so fervently.

Lu Chengtong was not interested in the pasts of others.

After thinking for a moment, he changed the identity of the person who killed her mother to a Jinfeng Immortal Sect disciple, and then, by changing some information she learned later, pointed the clues toward Zhao Yongcheng.

Thus, after checking once and finding no logical loopholes, Lu Chengtong stopped the modifications.

He awakened the two of them.

In their memories, they had just happened to glance at each other.

And had some thoughts.

Chen Sanqing hurriedly stood up and said:

"Senior Sister, I am much better now. Thank you for today; you should go back and rest early."

Yan Jiaojiao also felt somewhat exhausted; she agreed, then picked up the Purple Lightning Marten and left Lingjian Peak.

After returning to Lingjian Peak, Lu Chengtong immediately found an opportunity to slip away, modified the memories of the real Purple Lightning Marten, and ran out of Caiyi Peak himself.

Sitting under the Baiyuan Fruit tree, Lu Chengtong planned his next steps.

The memory modification was complete; unsurprisingly, once they became powerful, they would both seek revenge against that Zhao Yongcheng, but these people were currently only at the Qi Refining realm; by the time they formed their Golden Cores, it would take at least one or two hundred years.

Waiting was certain, because he could not influence powerful cultivators at the moment.

But he could use some methods to shorten the waiting time and help these people grow quickly.

The only resource in his possession that could achieve this was the Divine Ability Fruit, which required a reasonable way to give it to them.

A simple and crude method would be to bestow it directly and then change their memories.

But this would require changing too many memories, which would lead to them experiencing self-doubt, thereby affecting the final revenge.

This matter was harder to manage; Lu Chengtong could only take it one step at a time and ponder how to make a move on the disciples of the Jinfeng Immortal Sect.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed; he had made no progress here, but today, he accidentally heard a piece of news.

The Immortal Sect Elite Disciple Exchange Meeting was about to begin.

This exchange meeting is held once every sixty years.

There is constant friction between the Ziyao Immortal Sect and the Jinfeng Immortal Sect, with various conflicts and contradictions erupting, and there is a lot of dirty business underneath.

The higher-ups of the two sects, however, cannot rashly make a move.

In order to appease those below and divide interests, an exchange meeting is held every sixty years, which is to let the disciples engage in combat.

The winning side naturally occupies more interests, and in the judgment of certain matters, the winning side takes precedence.

The requirements for participants are that they must be True Disciples of both sides.

They are divided by age into two groups: 'under fifty' and 'over fifty, under one hundred.'

They fight one-on-one; defeating one person earns one point, and whichever Immortal Sect has the most points in the end is the winning side.

Each person can participate repeatedly, fighting different people; the competition lasts for three days, and within those three days, all winning counts are tallied to sum up the points.

That is to say, within three days, as long as you are not afraid of death or afraid of losing points for your sect, you can compete repeatedly.

This is an opportunity.

This exchange meeting is being held at the Ziyao Immortal Sect, so he could take the opportunity to tamper with the memories of those Jinfeng Immortal Sect True Disciples.

Immortal sect disciples who have just finished a match are at their weakest in terms of divine soul, making them easier to target.

Of course, one needs to be wary of the Golden Core Elders who are watching over the disciples.

However, there are always moments of laxity; he would wait for an opportunity to act.

If he can change one, he will start with one; it is still better to be safe, and he must absolutely not expose himself.
