Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 135: Deception Technique

There was still some time before the auction.

Yu Xian was living a leisurely life at the Zhao family inn, but she hadn't forgotten the main purpose of her trip.

In a small courtyard guest room.

"Ladies, can you find where I am?" A slightly greasy voice floated in the air.

Yulan followed the direction of the voice, but found that she couldn't discern where the sound was coming from.

The guest room was only about forty square meters, and with a single glance, she could see all the objects in the room.

But apart from Yulan and Yue'er, who were also searching, there was no fourth person present.

Even when she extended her spiritual sense, scanning inch by inch through the space, she still couldn't find where Yu Xian was hiding.

"Sister Liu, Sister Yue'er, did you find anything?" Yulan asked.

Yue'er was still young, only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but Sister Liu's cultivation had already reached the later stage of Qi Refining, and her spiritual sense could control objects.

But like Yulan, her spiritual sense seemed to have become blind.

Clearly, she had seen Yu Xian disappear into the room, but when her spiritual sense swept through, she couldn't find anything.

Upon hearing this, Sister Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Yu's technique is truly marvelous, but I can't find him."

Another cup of tea passed.

Yulan almost turned the guest room upside down, sweat already forming on her forehead, but there was still no trace of Yu Xian.

She pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "Husband, you must have already gone outside the room. You were just playing with us using your divine sense. I'm not looking anymore."

"Is that so? Turn around."

Yu Xian's voice sounded in Yulan's ear.

Yulan turned around as instructed and bumped into Yu Xian.

"Ouch."

Yu Xian held Yulan in his arms, and when she looked up, she saw his playful eyes.

"Husband, were you behind me?"

She turned her head in disbelief and looked at Sister Liu and her disciples, who were already dumbfounded.

"Did you see that? How did Husband appear?"

Sister Liu organized her words and slowly said, "It seems like invisibility technique, a flash before our eyes, and the person appeared."

She had been paying attention the whole time, but she hadn't noticed any signs of Yu Xian's appearance.

"Husband, I want to learn this."

Yulan's big eyes blinked as she looked at Yu Xian, as if she had discovered a new toy.

"What Moon said just now is correct. It's an intermediate-level spiritual technique called invisibility technique. But you haven't even condensed your divine sense, how can you learn it?"

Yu Xian blinked triumphantly.

Yulan angrily said, "So you're still bullying us with your cultivation. When we were hiding earlier, you caught us in an instant. It's unfair, not fair at all."

Yu Xian lifted Yulan and threw her onto the bed.

"I don't care if it's fair or not. Since I won, I'm going to take my prize now."

"Both of you, don't run away. Come over and help me hold her hands."

Yu Xian called out to the master and disciple who were about to leave.

...

Another night of absurdity.

At the break of dawn.

Yu Xian left the three sleeping women behind and walked out of the room with a spirited demeanor. Then, he patted the spirit beast bag at his waist, and a black tiger appeared at the door.

"Protect them well."

The ghost tiger nodded lazily, lying down at the door. Threads of black mist emanated from its eyes, enveloping the surroundings of the guest room within its domain.

Only then was Yu Xian satisfied and left.

Taking a step forward.

His clothes, facial features, body shape, skin color, and even his aura changed.

Another step.

His body seemed to be transparent, completely disappearing into the air.

Until he left Zhao's inn.

A burly man with a black face emerged from a corner of the alley.

"This newly upgraded Turtle Breath Concealment Technique is the result of my comprehension of the Blood Soul Transformation in the Blood Demon Technique, combined with some advantages of the intermediate-level spiritual art, Invisibility Technique, as well as the bone shrinking and disguise skills of ordinary martial arts. It is comparable to a one-click change of clothes. It's not appropriate to use its original name anymore."

Yu Xian walked along the street with the crowd, pondering the name of his newly created secret technique.

Perhaps due to a certain aspect of his nature, his talent for survival was absolutely comparable to that of a genius. After several years of research, this newly developed feigning death technique was definitely superior.

At least in the game of hide and seek, he had great confidence.

But he lacked confidence in dealing with Gold Core cultivators, as he had never experienced the detection of a real Gold Core cultivator.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Yu Xian's mind, and he thought of a good name.

"The Deceive Heaven Technique!"

"Someday, if I fake my death, even the Heavenly Dao won't be able to detect whether I'm dead or alive."

A surge of infinite ambition rose in Yu Xian's heart, and he confidently walked into a shop that looked like a black market.

"Excuse me, sir, this is a private club and not open to the public."

The shop was located behind the alley, with dim lighting. The gatekeeper was a burly martial artist with at least the early-stage innate realm, judging from his robust qi and blood. This level of cultivation would be enough to become an elder in a mortal dynasty, but here, he could only be a gatekeeper.

Seeing this, Yu Xian threw out a token.

"I heard there is an exchange meeting here, so I came to take a look."

The martial artist blocking the way glanced at the token, respectfully returned it with both hands, and a smile appeared on his face.

"So it's a guest of the master. The exchange meeting is about to begin. Please come inside, sir."

Yu Xian put away the token and walked into the small shop. His first impression was that it was narrow and cramped. After walking a dozen steps, he pushed open a small door and suddenly the space opened up.

First, there were dozens of steps, and standing on the platform, one could see a relatively spacious underground area, estimated to be nearly a thousand square meters. In the middle was a hall, and next to it were private rooms.

The surroundings were illuminated by a Bright Light Formation, making the underground area as bright as day.

This was a small-scale black market opened underground.

The Upper Yang City Auction was about to begin, and high-level cultivators from hundreds of miles around had gathered here.

Where there are people, there is business.

So the big shots in the slums set up underground black markets as intermediaries, providing convenience for those unfamiliar fellow cultivators.

Of course, they would also charge a fee for this.

The last time the auction was held, Yu Xian didn't even have two copper coins in his pocket, so his demand in this area was small.

But now his pockets were full of spirit stones that he couldn't spend, and his cultivation had also made some progress, so he wanted to join in the fun.

After all, what if he stumbled upon something valuable?

Isn't that how it goes in novels?

Even if he didn't find anything valuable, it would still be good to broaden his horizons.

So he had Zhao's Trading House obtain several black market tokens. This black market was relatively high-end and only did business with Foundation Building cultivators.

Yu Xian descended the stairs, and two slender girls dressed in qipao-like attire came forward to greet him. They were probably around fifteen or sixteen years old, and both had the cultivation of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The fourth level of Qi Refining instead of the third level.

The difference of one small realm was the difference between early-stage Qi Refining and mid-stage Qi Refining.

The key point was that they were still very young. In the Moon True Sect led by Master Liu, they could be considered elite disciples and future pillars of the sect.

But here, they could only be used as greeters, which showed the wealth of the black market owner.

"Hello, senior, please show your invitation letter."

The girl's voice was crisp and pleasant, and her demeanor was well-maintained.

Yu Xian took out the token again.

The girl on the left lightly touched the token with her palm, and it emitted a glow, obviously some kind of anti-counterfeiting measure.

"Thank you, senior. I am Qiu Shuang, and she is Xia Hua. From now on, we will be at your service, senior."

The girl accepted the token, slightly bowed, and showed even more respect.

"There is still an hour before the exchange meeting starts. Before that, senior can use us as you wish."

Use, not command.

Yu Xian couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement, and his gaze swept over the various private rooms in the venue.

Just then, a private room door opened, and a shabby-looking old man walked out, with two decent-looking girls in his arms.

From the flushed faces of the girls and their appearance, it was clear what they had been doing in the private room.

Damn, this is testing honest people.
