In the room.

By the desk.

He Song held his breath and concentrated, easily drawing a lower-ranked Thick Earth Amulet.

Afterwards, he took a long breath, sat down, cleared his mind, and began to contemplate his future path.

When he first met Su Yan, He Song had already made up his mind that he would not use his gift in array tao to join the Thick Earth Sect.

That would make him too conspicuous.

If someone were to uncover his secret, he feared he would be immediately imprisoned and tortured for the secret to longevity.

But he didn’t possess any secret to longevity.

Moreover, He Song did not want his life and death to be controlled by others.

Being outside, before having the strength to resist, being a relaxed loose cultivator was the best plan.

At least, outside, he didn’t need to worry about the Golden Elixir Master or Ancestor Yuanying discovering his secret.

Since that was the case.

The handling of the over twenty thousand jin of spirit rice in his small cargo storage bag became the issue He Song needed to consider at this moment.

Furthermore, since he chose not to go to the Thick Earth Sect, the resources he would need for his future cultivation would have to be created by his own hands.

These two matters needed to be addressed simultaneously, and he needed to keep the Thick Earth Sect in the dark.

He Song was thinking, and an idea quickly emerged in his mind.

“I wonder if in the world of mortals, there is a martial arts cultivation skill that can change one’s body shape and appearance… If there is, combined with the Breath Concealment Formulas, it might be worth a try.”

If he could really change his body shape and appearance, and then use the Breath Concealment Formulas to hide his aura, and put on a black robe.

He Song felt that as long as he was careful, moving within the earth undetected by other cultivators on usual days.

Even if he sold spirit rice in the Immortal Pavilion or Immortal City under the jurisdiction of the Thick Earth Sect, he shouldn’t attract too much attention.

Even if he did attract attention, they might not be able to trace it to him.

Using his position as a Medicine Garden manager to secretly sell spirit rice was a plan that He Song rejected early on.

If he really sold spirit rice, He Song would surely be grandly accepted into the Thick Earth Sect and become an inner disciple.

At that time, He Song’s plan would be completely disrupted.

Having been in the Immortal Pavilion for more than a decade.

He Song had seen many people who didn’t like to show themselves.

These people, usually all in black robes, use the Breath Concealment Formulas to hide their aura while walking and trading in the Immortal Pavilion.

This way, their identities would be hidden.

In the Cultivation World.

There was no shortage of cautious cultivators.

These people, clad all in black with no trace of aura, were indeed numerous in the Cultivation World.

However, to be extra cautious, He Song wanted to change his body shape and appearance as well before proceeding in this way.

In this case.

After selling spirit rice, the Thick Earth Sect would surely get wind of it.

But as long as he hid well enough, the Thick Earth Sect might not be able to trace it to him.

With the thought, came action.

He Song quickly Earth Tunnelled out of the Immortal Pavilion and ended up in the quiet room.

Li Dynasty.

Salt City.

He Song Earth Tunnelled here, once here, after observing in secret for a moment, soon grabbed a burly man who looked very fierce, capable in martial arts and had a wicked glint in his eyes.

This man, when He Song just arrived, was in middle of a violent crime.

Moreover, he was killing a commoner, and before He Song could step in to stop him, he found the commoner was already dead.

Naturally, He Song had no sympathy for him, and took the opportunity to seize him and drag him to a dark corner unseen by others.

When He Song pointed at the burly man, a beam of spirit power pierced through the man’s right palm on the spot.

Amid the brawny man’s piggish-like screams, He Song spoke in a hushed tone. “I’m going to ask, and you will answer. Slow to reply: you die. Answer wrongly:

you die. Hesitate: you also die. Understand?”

In the corner, the brawny man who felt like he had been turned upside down and inside out, was now completely terrified.

The ability he just used to traverse under the ground must be an Immortal Master’s method!

Why was he so unlucky to be targeted by an Immortal Master?

Being born in Li Dynasty, he was well aware of the existence of Immortal Masters. Even within the tiny Salt City, there were several people that were rumored to have become Immortal Masters.

Thanks to the Li Dynasty’s extensive promotion and clarification, he had a clear understanding of Immortal Masters.

As he faced an Immortal Master standing before him, who effortlessly pierced his palm and was ready to interrogate him, his fear was understandably compounded.

“Mercy, Immortal Master! Mercy! I clearly heard you! Please ask your question, Immortal Master.”

Seeing that the brawny man was completely freaked out, He Song did not torture him further, but immediately started to press on his inquiry.

“Do you know of any martial ability in the world that can alter one’s physique and appearance?”

The reason why He Song resorted to the mortal world in search of such ability was quite straightforward.

Regardless of the skill, any that were executed by a cultivator would be covered with spirit power.

But if it’s martial ability was used, there would be no spirit power coverage, making it a much better weapon for deceiving other cultivators.

That is why He Song is here.

Who would have guessed that someone would go to such lengths to conceal their appearance, even learning martial arts from the mortal world, despite being a cultivator?

For most cultivators, if they wished to alter their appearance, they usually learned a skill or two to do so.

“Yes, yes, yes, there is such a martial ability!” Facing He Song’s question, the brawny man nodded repeatedly, fearing he would be killed if he answered too slowly.

“Where?” He Song’s eyes lit up.

He thought he would have to gather more information before finding what he wanted.

Unexpectedly, the first person he interrogated knew of the existence of such martial ability.

“I don’t have the exact location, but I’ve heard that there’s a rapist active in the vicinity of Salt City who, according to the government’s announcements, possesses the ability to change his physique and appearance.”

Hoping for mercy, the burly man hurriedly revealed to He Song all that he knew.

“What’s his name, any distinguishing features, where is he now?”

He Song continued his questioning.

Now that he had a target, it was necessary to have some understanding of that target. With that knowledge, he could find him faster.

“That… I don’t know. But he should still be around Salt City. He’s never left as far as I’m aware.” Upon finishing, the burly man looked desirous of life in He Song’s direction.

However, after hearing his words, He Song’s eyebrows furrowed.

“You answered too slow.”

As soft uttered words rang out, He Song casually pointed out.

Suddenly, a scorching fireball appeared out of thin air, landing directly on the muscular man. The terrifying heat quickly reduced him to ashes. The man didn’t even let out a scream before turning into a pile of ashes.

“Killing for the first time by my hands isn’t as bad as I thought. This Fireball

Skill is really useful for disposing of bodies. Brother Wei really didn’t lie to me.”

After cleaning up the evidence, He Song nodded in satisfaction.

From now on, there were no traces left of He Song and the burly man’s presence.

He had never actually intended to let the guy live.

Being a martial artist himself, He Song could see the cruel glint in the man’s eyes. Killing, after all, is commonplace in the Martial World.

However, besides the cruelty in his eyes, he had also killed innocent civilians in front of He Song. The burly man had probably killed countless of these innocents.

When left in the hands of He Song,

It could also be considered as a form of divine justice.

Besides, this man knew that He Song was investigating martial abilities that can change appearance and shape. If something were to happen, he might immediately bite back at He Song..
