Before Zhou Qing could speak, Yan Xiaohu exclaimed in surprise: "Grandpa, you just said that the woman with the slender waist, who was breathing heavily and clinging to the neck of the middle-aged man, face flushed, eyes dazed, and in total disarray..."
"Get to the point, you donāt need so many adjectives!" Second Grandpa said.
Yan Xiaohu swallowed and continued: "That woman, who is the Sect Leaderās wife? Is it really that chaotic? If Luo Hou finds out, heāll definitely skin Fourth Brother alive!"
"Donāt worry, Iāll secretly intervene and suppress his realm. You just go ahead and fight!" Second Grandpa patted his chest and assured him.
Seeing that Second Grandpa wasnāt joking, Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk.
"Do I need to disguise or anything?" Zhou Qing suppressed the unease in his heart and asked.
Second Grandpa laughed heartily and teased: "Thatās the enhancement of my Nascent Soul, itās not something I can give you. How long have you been eyeing it?"
Zhou Qing suddenly understood.
No wonder every time Second Grandpa transformed, it was perfect. Body shape, voice, even his aura could be replicated a hundred percent; it turned out to be thanks to such Nascent Soul enhancement.
At that moment, Zhou Qing gave up the thought.
But Second Grandpa still took out a puppet and handed it over.
After all, the Five Ghosts Sect was only Zhou Qingās first stop for honing his skills. In the future, Zhou Qing would uncover more and more dirt, and Second Grandpa didnāt want the kid to be hunted down by a group of Divinity Transformation Realm experts and silenced.
"Inject a wisp of your Soul Power and Spiritual Power, and then you can transform into any form you want." Second Grandpa explained.
Zhou Qing looked in surprise at the puppet in his hand, feeling its extraordinary nature.
"How long does it last?" Zhou Qing asked hastily.
Second Grandpa waved his hand carelessly and replied in a relaxed tone, "Two or three days, enough for you to have your fun. When itās used up, Iāll make you another one, no big deal."
After hearing this, Zhou Qing visibly relaxed quite a bit.
Yan Xiaohu, seeing this, brightened his eyes and sidled up with a face full of smiles: "Grandpa, Iām also following Fourth Brother to train, can you..."
"Here!" Second Grandpa swiftly took out a purple jade slip and tossed it to him without a momentās hesitation.
Yan Xiaohu was initially stunned, but quickly his face lit up with joy as if he had found a treasure, holding it carefully and examining it repeatedly.
Second Grandpa said: "This Heart Method is called the āPurple Mansion Heart Inquiry Skillsā, much better than the āTaiqing Profound Qi Skillsā you are cultivating. Letās see if you can abandon the old for the new."
Yan Xiaohu became so excited he couldnāt speak coherently, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.
Then, Second Grandpa turned his gaze to Zhou Qing, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.
"Your situation is a bit special. I donāt have a Heart Method perfectly suited for you at the moment. Letās see if the coffin later has what you need."
Zhou Qing quickly said: "Grandpa, no need. I have a suitable Heart Method."
The āYin Yang Skillsā that Zhou Qing was cultivating came from the first coffin and was a gift from Grand Marshal Zhongli Bo from the Starry Battlefield.
Second Grandpaās eyes flashed with doubt. He gave Zhou Qing a deep look and, seeing his serious expression, nodded and did not ask further.
Everyone has their secrets, and he naturally understood this principle.
"Try it," Second Grandpa pointed to the puppet.
Zhou Qing nodded, took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and carefully injected a wisp of his Soul Power and Spiritual Power into it.
In an instant, a faint halo spread across the puppet, rippling like waves and tightly enveloping Zhou Qing.
Soon, the halo gradually dissipated, and a well-proportioned man appeared before the two.
"Li Hanshan!" Yan Xiaohu recognized it immediately, exclaiming in surprise and curiosity. He began to circumspectly inspect Zhou Qing, his eyes full of envy.
The transformed Zhou Qing was identical to one of the top five prodigies of the Cangyan Daoist Palace, Li Hanshan, except for missing his iconic long spear; every detail, down to the textures of the clothes, was flawless.
"Grandpa, actually..."
"Donāt be too greedy!"
"Got it!" Yan Xiaohu immediately shut his mouth.
Zhou Qing channeled his Spiritual Power to condense a mirror and inspect himself carefully for a moment, marveling silently.
The transformation into Li Hanshan was perfect, without any flaw.
Imitating a person who had died far away meant that even if people from Five Ghosts Sect later wanted to investigate, they would have nowhere to start, thus adding an extra layer of safety.
"Go ahead, Iāll make some arrangements!" After saying this, Second Grandpa took Yan Xiaohu and turned to leave, soon disappearing into the dense forest.
Zhou Qing took a deep breath to calm his nerves, then straightened up and flew on his sword towards the Five Ghosts Sectās gate.
"Someone entrusted me to deliver this Imaging Stone to Elder Luo Hou of your sect; itās urgent, please announce it!"
...
Inside the Five Ghosts Sect!
Sixth Elder Luo Hou was currently livid, sitting in his study with tightly furrowed brows, looking irritated.
A year ago, he had secretly sent people to trade resources with the Wanhua Valley in the Southern Domain, thinking it was done quietly. Unexpectedly, they were discovered, and all the sent people were brutally killed.
The only message hurriedly sent back by his confidant said that they were intercepted by a figure in white, but no one saw what the person actually looked like.
Now, the Sect Leader had begun to suspect him. Many crucial plans had directly bypassed him, no longer involving him.
"Who is it? Who is it behind all this?" Luo Hou muttered curses under his breath, slamming his fist on the table, causing the tea sets on it to clatter.
