Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 74: Disguise
The spiritual awareness that a foundation-building cultivator can possess is not only an efficient means of reconnaissance.

At the same time, it is also an extremely sharp means of attack that can directly attack the enemy's soul, making it difficult to defend against.

These mysteries and uses of spiritual consciousness are recorded in the "Five Poisons Fragments", a dual-school technique of soul and poison.

However, Ji Chang did not understand the specific means of spiritual consciousness.

After all, he was still far from breaking through to the foundation-building stage and had not yet given birth to spiritual consciousness.

Therefore, he could only rely on his own knowledge to guess and speculate on the mystery and essence of the use of spiritual consciousness by those foundation-building monks.

In the scene, after successfully defeating those Wang family monks, Chen Biqi immediately returned to Zhuya Market and began to consolidate the results of his attack.

Ji Chang saw this and slowly withdrew his gaze from the screen.

Although this fight did not affect Cangyufang City, it was different from his previous speculation.

Chen Biqi was a shrewd man who had a lot of foresight and had directly killed the foundation-building cultivator from the Wang family without any setbacks in the process.

However, Ji Chang did not regret his decision to leave Cangyufang City.

After all, the Chen family has been eyeing his alchemy skills, or to be more precise, they have been eyeing the alchemy skills of Ji Chang's master, Master Mo Dan.

If he had not left at that time, his fate would definitely not be good. Even if he had managed to survive, he would probably have been poisoned by a poisonous insect in his body and become a tool for the Chen family to make pills.

Of course, his background is not clean. It is estimated that after the Chen family finds out that he is practicing the "Five Poison Fragments", a secret of the Chen family, they will torture him severely and make him unable to live or die.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and fear.

Although he could rely on his ability to peek to learn other people's secrets, if something went wrong, he would be in danger.

He knew very well that his cultivation and strength were far from strong enough, and he had to act more cautiously and work hard to improve his cultivation and strength.

Since Cangyu Market was not involved in the turmoil, Ji Chang decided to stay in the secular world for a year and then quietly return to the market.

However, he knew very well that he could not go back openly. Even if he used the magic of disguise, there was still the risk of being discovered.

He was not worried that the foundation-building cultivators would rely on their spiritual sense to see through his disguise. After all, Cangyu Market was only a first-level spiritual vein. A foundation-building cultivator like Chen Biqi should be stationed in the newly acquired Zhuya Market, which was built on a second-level spiritual vein, instead of condescending here.

What Ji Chang was really worried about was that his disguise spell would not last long, and that he had not yet cultivated it to the great perfection realm. Some Qi-refining monks with keen spiritual perception might be able to detect something wrong from his breath and movements.

In order to return to Cangyu Market more safely, Ji Chang decided to refine a pill that could permanently change one's appearance - the Disguise Pill.

The Disguise Pill is a first-grade, mid-quality elixir. It is not very valuable, but it is relatively rare in the world of immortal cultivation and is rarely seen on the market. This is not only because the refining process is extremely complicated, but also because the demand for it is not large.

After all, apart from those robbers who were engaged in murder and robbery, few cultivators would use this kind of elixir. For most cultivators, they paid more attention to cultivation and improving their strength rather than their external appearance.

For female cultivators who pursue beauty, there are many elixirs for beauty and skin care in the world of immortal cultivation. There is no need to use elixirs that can change oneself into a completely different appearance.

However, for Ji Chang, refining the Disguise Pill is not a difficult task. As a mid-level alchemist, he possesses profound alchemy skills and rich experience, and can control the refining process of the Disguise Pill.

Moreover, before leaving Cangyu Market, he had anticipated that he might have such a need, so he purchased a large amount of spiritual medicines needed to refine the Disguise Pill in advance, enough to ensure that he could refine the Disguise Pill.

……

A few days later, Ji Chang sat in the courtyard, surrounded by the concealment array he had set up with the array plate. This array was not very powerful, but it was enough to cover the courtyard and drive away mortals.

"Purple-backed sky-dark-leafed amaranth, yellow ganoderma, magic heart grass, and...chalcedony liquid."

Ji Chang took out various elixirs and placed them one by one next to the alchemy furnace. After counting the elixirs, he used his magic power to ignite the fire and started refining the elixir again.

During these few days, Ji Chang tried to refine several batches of disguise pills in addition to practicing.

After failing two or three times, he successfully refined a few inferior disguise pills.

Not only do inferior elixirs contain a lot of toxicity, but they are also not effective enough. There is no need for Ji Chang to take such defective products.

However, according to his estimation, this furnace today should be able to produce a few genuine Disguise Pills.

As the fire burned fiercely, Ji Chang was the first to throw the Huan Xin Grass into it. Under the roasting of the fire, the Huan Xin Grass slowly released pink mist, and the whole alchemy room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Then, he cut the purple-backed sky-blossom into thin slices and carefully put them into the alchemy furnace. The purple-backed sky-blossom gradually melted under the baking fire and turned into drops of crystal clear liquid.
Ji Chang also put several other spiritual medicines into the alchemy furnace in order, intertwining and merging with each other.

Ji Chang was concentrating on controlling the temperature of the fire and the speed of the fusion of the elixir, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

After two and a half hours of refining, a fragrant smell came from the furnace.

Ji Chang was delighted, knowing that the Disguise Pill had been successfully refined.

He carefully opened the lid of the furnace and saw three jade-white pills lying quietly at the bottom of the furnace.

The surface of the pill shimmers with a faint luster and exudes a refreshing fragrance.

Ji Chang took out the three disguise pills, placed them in his palm and examined them carefully for a moment, then put two of them into the pill bottle, leaving only one.

With this disguise pill, he can completely change his appearance and aura, and no longer have to worry about being recognized by others.

Next, he only needs to wait for the right opportunity to quietly return to Cangyu Market to continue his path of cultivation.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang put the disguise pill in his hand into his mouth without hesitation.

The Disguise Pill melted in the mouth, turning into a cool liquid that flowed down the throat into the stomach.

Ji Chang then closed his eyes and concentrated, circulating the magic power in his body, carefully guiding the medicinal power to flow through the meridians in his body.

He could clearly feel the effect of the medicine passing through his body, and his body felt slightly warm, as if a warm force was quietly reshaping his body and appearance.

The feeling is so subtle that it is almost impossible to describe in words.

Ji Chang only felt that he could control his magic power to change his facial contours, adjust the position and shape of his facial features, and even slightly adjust his entire body shape, just like the face-pinching games he played in his previous life.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Chang felt that the medicinal power in his body was exhausted. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and activated the Water Mirror Technique. A clear and transparent water mirror instantly appeared in front of him, reflecting his current appearance.

A completely unfamiliar face appeared in the mirror. There was a gentle aura between his brows, which made people feel good at first sight and had a sense of trust. It was completely different from Ji Chang's original appearance.
