Leaving the City

Chapter 141 Leaving the City

Because I need to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Shattering Pill Technique.

After shattering the core and then reforming it, although the mana and the quality of the golden core are improved, the cultivation level is still at the early stage of the Golden Core Formation stage.

If one's core is shattered during the late stage of Core Formation, one's cultivation level will drop back to the early stage of Core Formation.

Given that Jiang Yun has only cultivated the first three stages of the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Shattering Pill Technique, completing the three pill shattering stages in the early stages of Core Formation is the most suitable course of action.

Therefore, during these thirty-three years in Canglan Immortal City.

Jiang Yun focused on improving his physical body, spiritual sense, and the quality of his magical artifacts.

Now, he is a body cultivator at the mid-stage of Core Formation, and his divine sense has also broken through today. He also possesses thirty-six low-grade third-tier flying swords.

Despite these achievements, his cultivation level didn't improve much, but his strength did increase significantly.

"The five-year agreement will be reached in two months."

"Go back and make preparations. We'll choose a day to go with Yu Siyan to that cave ruin."

After testing the strength of his divine sense, Jiang Yun felt a slight movement in his heart, then his figure flashed and he arrived at the flying airspace, flying back to his cave.

Inside the cave, after consolidating his spiritual power for several days, Jiang Yun casually waved his hand.

A faint, eerie light flashed from the storage ring on his left hand: a faceless puppet flew out from the bushes.

Jiang Yun took out the puppet and went over to examine it.

The puppet before us is the substitute puppet of Thousand Forged Mountain, a second-tier high-grade puppet.

"The Thousand Machines Divine Control Technique has broken through to the third level, and is now able to perform the Divine Splitting Technique."

"The so-called technique of splitting one's mind is to separate one's consciousness into multiple parts to control puppets and magical artifacts."

"If I separate a portion of my divine consciousness and then divide that portion into thirty-six parts to control the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation, the power of the sword formation will be even greater."

"However, this would greatly weaken my own spiritual sense and make it unable to support the sword formation for long. There is no need to use the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation in this way."

"This technique of distraction is best suited for controlling puppets and setting up formations."

Jiang Yun stood in front of the substitute puppet, pondering to himself.

A moment later, he pointed with two fingers and channeled his own true essence into the substitute puppet.

Soon, the substitute puppet's face became exactly the same as Jiang Yun's, and even the surface skin was almost identical to Jiang Yun's skin.

At the same time, the puppet, which was originally only half a person's height, suddenly grew taller and became exactly the same height as Jiang Yun.

Furthermore, the aura emanating from the substitute puppet was exactly the same as that Jiang Yun was currently displaying.

It appears to possess the aura of a fake Core Formation cultivator, enough to fool the eye.

"The Thousand-Refined Mountain Substitute Puppet is quite something."

"However, it still feels like something's missing?"

Jiang Yun stared at the puppet, feeling that something was missing.

"clothing!"

A moment later, he recalled the scene of the auction of the puppet that day and suddenly realized what was going on.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun immediately left the cave and found a shop selling various Taoist robes and monastic garments.

"Shopkeeper, make me two sets of magic robes, second-tier high-grade level is fine."

19

Jiang Yun entered the shop and requested to order two identical sets of ceremonial robes.

These two sets of robes are not cheap; they are of the second-tier superior grade, equivalent to a second-tier superior magic weapon. Ordinary cultivators really can't afford to wear them.

However, for a Core Formation cultivator like Jiang Yun, a second-tier high-grade robe is not a luxury.

If time were not so tight, Jiang Yun would have also wanted to have a set of three-tiered Taoist robes made.

However, this set of third-tier magic robes is meant to be worn by oneself; giving it to a puppet would be of little use and a complete waste.

This time, two sets of second-tier superior-grade magic robes were ordered, one for him and one for his substitute puppet, to achieve a lifelike effect.

"Alright, two sets of second-tier high-grade magic robes, 17,000 spirit stones."

"We'll take your measurements first, and the custom order will be completed in ten days. Then, our shop will send someone to deliver it to your home."

The shopkeeper quickly took Jiang Yun's measurements and asked what effects Jiang Yun needed for the custom-made robe.

The most basic use of ceremonial robes is similar to that of ordinary clothing: to cover the body.

In addition, depending on the grade, it has many other effects.

For example, every piece of clothing must have insect-repelling and antiseptic properties, or even more advanced robes that can release lightning and flames.

However, these fancy effects are actually not very useful, unless the robe itself is of extremely high quality and made of excellent materials, and can be used as a protective magic item.

Jiang Yun wasn't interested in these fancy effects; she only wanted something ordinary, comfortable to wear, and that looked decent.

After taking the measurements, Jiang Yun paid the deposit, told the shopkeeper the location of his cave dwelling, and then returned to his cave dwelling.

Ten days later, the two sets of custom-made robes were completed and delivered to Jiang Yun by the shop.

Jiang Yun was quite satisfied with the two sets of robes he received and immediately handed over the remaining spirit stones.

After obtaining the two sets of robes, he put one on himself, and then took out the substitute puppet and dressed it in the other set.

"That way, it will be indistinguishable from the real thing."

"When fighting with others, if you want to escape, you can summon this substitute puppet."

"Using both concealment and breath-gathering techniques, I slipped away unnoticed."

"However, this would mean losing a substitute puppet."

Jiang Yun thought for a moment, then shook his head.

If someone forced him to use a substitute puppet to escape, it was very likely a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

"Now that we've achieved a lifelike effect, let's try using the distraction technique to control this puppet."

With a thought, Jiang Yun sank his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness according to the incantation of the third level of the Thousand Machines Divine Control Technique.

Subsequently, a wisp of the divine consciousness in the sea of ​​consciousness was separated out by Jiang Yun.

Through his manipulation, this wisp of divine consciousness eventually possessed the substitute puppet.

The next moment, Jiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes.

At the same time, the substitute puppet also opened its eyes.

"Walk two laps."

Jiang Yun's heart stirred slightly, and he manipulated his substitute puppet to wander around the cave.

Observing his walking posture, it is exactly the same as Jiang Yun's.

After doing all this, Jiang Yun used the technique of distraction to control the substitute puppet to speak.

The puppet's lips moved, and it spoke, its voice just like Jiang Yun's.

"There's definitely something special about it. It would be great if we could raise it to the third tier."

Seeing that the substitute puppet was working well, Jiang Yun couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Go to Zhou's Pill Shop."

Afterwards, Jiang Yun sat cross-legged in the cultivation room of his cave, closed his eyes, and controlled the substitute puppet to go to Zhou's Pill Shop.

The substitute puppet left the cave and headed towards Zhou's Pill Shop.

To outsiders, this substitute puppet was no different from Jiang Yun himself.

However, there are still some minor flaws and details that haven't been handled well, namely the shoes and the storage ring.

Jiang Yun only ordered two sets of robes, and did not purchase identical shoes.

In addition, there was a mid-grade third-tier storage ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

These details are easily discernible to a discerning person.

"I still need to order two pairs of shoes later, and also have a ring made that looks like a mid-grade third-tier storage ring."

"This ring doesn't need to have any special function; it just needs to be the same style."

As Jiang Yun thought this, he unknowingly manipulated his substitute puppet to arrive at Zhou's Pill Shop.

"Greetings, Master."

Chi Kehuan and the others were unaware that the Jiang Yun they saw was merely a substitute puppet.

The substitute puppet's appearance, height, and even aura were identical to Jiang Yun's, making it difficult for them to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Furthermore, Jiang Yun compensated for the only weakness of the substitute puppet, namely its weakness of spiritual consciousness, by using the technique of splitting the mind, making it even more difficult for others to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Get up.

Jiang Yun, controlling the substitute puppet, spoke expressionlessly.

At this moment, a wisp of Jiang Yun's divine consciousness is present within the substitute puppet.

Jiang Yun could see and hear everything inside the cave, as if he were personally visiting Zhou's alchemy shop.

"Thank you, Master."

Chi Kehuan and the others thanked her and quickly stood up.

"For the next period of time, I will be in seclusion to the death. You are to handle the matter of the alchemy shop yourselves."

"Even if someone comes to ask me to refine pills, there's no need to send me a message."

There are two months left in the five-year term.

Jiang Yun will then accompany Yu Siyan out of the city to explore the ruins of the cave.

Therefore, even with a communication device, it would be difficult to receive Chi Kehuan's messages.

Furthermore, Jiang Yun didn't need to tell Chi Kehuan and the others that he was leaving the city; he could have just said that he was going into seclusion.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Kehuan and the others immediately accepted the order.

Jiang Yun nodded, glanced at everyone, then turned and left Zhou's Pill Shop, returning to his cave.

Of course, what returned to the cave was merely a substitute puppet.

Jiang Yun put away the substitute puppet and left the cave to forge two pairs of shoes and a ring with the same style as the third-tier storage ring.

He originally planned to have his substitute puppet handle the matter, but since the substitute puppet didn't have any spirit stones, he had to send it back to its cave and handle the matter himself.

After the shoes and ring were prepared, the minor flaws and details of the stand-in puppet were also covered up, making it even more difficult for outsiders to distinguish between the real and the fake.

"Just as Wen Ruyu said, it is still uncertain whether Yu Siyan has bad intentions. Perhaps she will use the matter of the cave ruins to lure me out of the city and ambush me."

"Now that we have this substitute puppet, we'll let it lead the charge."

"Once the substitute puppet has found the ruins of the cave and eliminated the risk of an ambush, then the real body will go there."

As Jiang Yun gazed at the substitute puppet, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Sending a substitute puppet to take the lead in eliminating danger is a good idea.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun put away the substitute puppet and used his divine sense to check the contents of his storage ring.

We're about to leave the city, so it's always good to make more preparations.

However, after thinking for a moment, Jiang Yun realized that there was nothing to prepare.

"I am a body cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation, and my physical body is comparable to a mid-grade third-tier magic weapon."

"The only magic weapon I can prepare for self-defense right now is a high-grade third-tier one."

"As for saving my life, I still have two low-grade third-tier lightning escape talismans."

"With my strength, I don't need to make any other preparations for this trip to the cave."

Jiang Yun shook his head, his mind leaving the storage ring, and began to sit cross-legged to regulate his breathing, patiently waiting to meet Yu Siyan two months later.

Soon, two months later.

This was the day that Jiang Yun and Yu Siyan had agreed upon.

Jiang Yun called Wen Changqing and went with him to Zhou's Dan Shop to see Yu Siyan.

At this moment, Yu Siyan had been waiting for a long time in Zhou's alchemy shop.

When Yu Siyan saw that only Jiang Yun and Wen Changqing were there, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Didn't I tell you to invite two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators? Why is there only one?" Yu Siyan couldn't help but ask.

"One is enough," Jiang Yun said with a smile. "Fairy Rain, where is your senior sister?"

"She is on a desolate mountain outside the city. We will go there to find her later."

Yu Siyan offered an explanation, then turned her gaze to Wen Changqing, cupping her hands in greeting, "I am Yu Siyan of the Xuan Shuang Sect. May I ask how you should address me, fellow practitioner?"

Wen Changqing returned the greeting with a cupped hand and said, "Wen Family Fortress, Wen Changqing."

"So you're from Wenjiabao." Yu Siyan nodded and said softly.

A moment later, she casually set up a barrier and said to Jiang Yun, "You only have one mid-stage Core Formation cultivator on your side, plus my senior sister and me, making three in total. I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through the Three Elements Thick Earth Formation."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, fairy, I have a powerful magic weapon."

"With this magic weapon, the four of us working together will surely be able to break through that Three Elements Thick Earth Formation."

"Besides, if we add another person, wouldn't the treasure have to be divided among others?"

Jiang Yun said calmly.

The magical artifact he mentioned simply doesn't exist.

However, the powerful magic weapon he mentioned was himself.

Yu Siyan considers herself a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

In Jiang Yun's opinion, it was nothing special.

With Jiang Yun's current strength, defeating Yu Siyan would be a very easy task.

After all, the improvement he made in all aspects during his thirty-three years of seclusion in Canglan Immortal City was truly terrifying.

Even just considering body cultivation at the mid-stage of Core Formation, it's not something an ordinary Core Formation cultivator can achieve.

"Well, let's hope this powerful magic weapon isn't just overrated!"

Yu Siyan emphasized the words "powerful magic weapon" in particular.

"In that case, please lead the way, Fairy Rain, to see your senior sister," Jiang Yun said with a smile.

"Of course." Yu Siyan suddenly remembered something and said, "But before that, let me see if you still have any Youth Preservation Pills."

"Now that so many years have passed, if you've sold all the Youth-Preserving Pills, wouldn't I have suffered a huge loss!"

"Alright." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun opened his palm, and a Youth-Preserving Pill immediately appeared in his palm.

Upon seeing the Youth-Preserving Pill, Yu Siyan nodded and said, "Now that everything is ready, let's set off."

Jiang Yun nodded and then left Zhou's Pill Shop.

He, Wen Changqing, and Yu Siyan flew together into the airspace.

"We left the city from the north, and my senior sister was waiting for us there."

Yu Siyan led the way, choosing the north direction, and flew towards the outside of Canglan Immortal City.

Soon, the three figures left the Seven Star Workshop and flew out of the massive Canglan Immortal City.

After leaving Canglan Immortal City, led by Yu Siyan, they flew towards a desolate mountain.

Jiang Yun released his divine sense, remaining vigilant about his surroundings, especially behind him, to see if anyone was following him.

If someone followed him out of Canglan Immortal City, it means that someone had been watching him all these years in the city.

However, Jiang Yun was overthinking it; after flying for a while, he did not find anyone following him.

Jiang Yun looked behind him, feeling quite emotional.

He came to Canglan Immortal City after breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

This period of seclusion lasted for thirty-three years, during which he never fought with anyone.

To complete the first three stages of the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Shattering Elixir Technique, three sets of Elixir Formation resources are needed, and future battles are inevitable.
