Upon leaving the Immortal Pavilion, Han Yi flew on his sword, but instead of heading straight back to the Ninth Immortal Ring, he flew in the opposite direction along the Eighth Immortal Ring. It took him two hours to finally return to the Ninth Immortal Ring from another location and then head back to the inn he had rented.
He was now becoming more cautious about his whereabouts.
His deliberate detour was to shake off any possible trailing.
After entering the inn,
Han Yi laid out all the items he had bought from the Immortal Pavilion in front of him.
A golden Scripture Transmission Jade Plate, seven spirit talismans, a special top-grade magical tool, and a palm-sized human Immortal-level Immortal Boat model.
The Scripture Transmission Jade Plate was, of course, the one with the Disguise Technique recorded on it.
The seven spirit talismans consisted of four second-stage low grade spirit talismans, two second-stage middle grade spirit talismans, and one second-stage high grade spirit talisman.
Second-stage low grade spirit talisman: Annihilation Thunder Talisman * 3.
Second-stage low grade spirit talisman: Teleportation Talisman * 1.
Second-stage middle grade spirit talisman: Golden Shield Talisman * 2.
Second-stage high grade spirit talisman: Shadow-split Escape Talisman.
The special top-grade magical tool was a grey bead called the Five Thunder Bead, or more comprehensively, the Five Elements Thunder Bead. This magical tool had fused Gold Thunder, Wood Thunder, Fire Thunder, Water Thunder, and Earth Thunder, mutually generating and overcoming each other, hence the name Five Thunder Bead.
This was a one-time-use magical tool, equivalent in power to a second-stage top-grade spirit talisman.
Among the seven spirit talismans and one magical tool, the most precious one was the Five Thunder Bead.
According to the prices in the Cultivation World, the price of second-stage spirit talismans and top-grade magical tools was similar, ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 middle grade spirit stones.
Han Yi had spent 23,000 middle grade spirit stones on the seven spirit talismans.
As for the Five Thunder Bead, it had cost him 8,000 middle grade spirit stones.
The Human Immortal-level Immortal Boat was an extra gift from the Immortal Pavilion for maintaining customer relations, after Han Yi had bought so many items.
Including the Disguise Technique, Han Yi had spent a total of 32,000 middle grade spirit stones at the Immortal Pavilion this time.
This was no small sum, as ordinary Gold Core cultivators didn’t have that many spirit stones. Only those from large sects or those who had accumulated over a long time would have such huge amounts.
In reality, Han Yi’s storage ring didn’t contain that many middle grade spirit stones, only a little over 10,000.
However, he had other treasures in hand.
After weighing his options, he refrained from taking out the Spiritual Jade, as it was considered a rare item. If he took out a portion of it, it should be enough to make up for the sum, but the Spiritual Jade had many uses, and he was reluctant to part with it, because he had other choices.
In the end, he sold the Golden Light Shuttle.
The Golden Light Shuttle, which was the magic treasure of Yuan Changtian, was sold for as many as 530 high grade spiritual stones.
Transactions for general magic treasures were usually in high grade spirit stones, and the exchange rates of high grade spirit stones to middle and low grade stones were different.
One hundred low grade spirit stones could be exchanged for one middle grade spirit stone, but one hundred middle grade spirit stones could not be exchanged for a single high-grade spirit stone.
At the Immortal Pavilion, the exchange rate between middle and high grade spirit stones was 150:1.
In the end, the Immortal Pavilion chalked up a small sum, only taking 200 high grade spirit stones from Han Yi.
In total, Han Yi had paid for a magic treasure, the Golden Light Shuttle, and received a pile of other items and 330 high grade spirit stones in return.
Han Yi took out everything from his storage ring again and recounted it.
Magical tool: Seven-star Kunwu Sword.
Top-grade magical tools: Black Light Broken Sword, Green Reed Sword, Fire Mist Sword, Five Thunder Bead.
Other magical tools: None.
High grade spirit stones: 431.
Middle grade spirit stones: around 10,000.
Low grade spirit stones: around 100,000.
Others: A new Immortal Boat, a damaged and awaiting repair Immortal Boat, a Foundation Establishment Pill, Four Orders Inspector token, etc.
After tallying up his possessions, Han Yi put away all the items, leaving only the newly acquired Scripture Transmission Jade Plate.
The Disguise Technique.
The ‘Disguise Technique’ recorded in this jade plate was vastly different from the worldly martial arts. The reason why it was called that was because the Nascent Soul Cultivator who created it was inspired by the martial arts and based on it, he combined various techniques to alter one’s aura to create a completely new technique.
Han Yi placed the Scripture Transmission Jade Plate on his forehead, and after a full quarter of an hour, he lowered the jade plate, marveling at this technique. The cultivator who created this technique had taken a unique approach, expanding the scope of ‘disguise’ in the word ‘disguise’.
‘Disguise’ refers not only to facial features or body shape, but also includes one’s aura and even physical form.
Facial features are easy to understand – they are the features on one’s face. Body shape is not difficult to understand either – it refers to height and build.
Practicing this Disguise Technique could turn a gentle-faced, slender young cultivator into a cold-faced, unapproachable, short and stocky elderly cultivator.
As for one’s aura, it refers to a cultivator’s unique aura, which includes magical power, qi field, divine soul, and so on.
Previously, when Han Yi had killed someone and was hunted down, those who pursued him, such as Gu Zhijing and Lu Zhi, used the Soul Chasing Talisman to track him down.
In the past, the techniques Han Yi had heard of for changing one’s aura could only suppress or alter one’s aura on the same level.
The most typical suppressive technique was the Concealment Skill, although it could only change one’s aura, not one’s appearance.
However, this Disguise Technique also possessed a heaven-defying ability, which was that it could actually operate in reverse, increasing a cultivator’s aura..
