I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 297 - 295: The Final Battle (Part 2)

In the blink of an eye, Mingzhen completed the parasitism.

After the parasitism, his body turned into liquid, like blood, spreading throughout the skin. Unless Mingzhen himself emerged, there was no way to separate him from Chu Yunyi.

A strong, sinister aura emanated from Chu Yunyi, his black hair dancing without wind.

Mingzhen lifted his head, ready to take a deep breath to enjoy the pleasure brought by the fresh body, but abruptly stopped all movements, standing still. His pupils trembled, and his expression changed dramatically as he angrily glared at Li Xing, shouting, "Why is his body like this? What did you do—!"

Damn it!

Chu Yunyi seemed to be full of energy and in excellent condition, yet his internal organs were already deteriorated to the extreme, with bones and meridians fractured in many places. Though not dead, he was barely hanging on to life.

It’s truly unimaginable how he managed to confront me for so long with such a broken body without revealing any flaws!

Mingzhen felt both angry and hateful. The once-in-a-millennium Innate Holy Body was even more useless than Lin Zhian’s decayed skin, which was a change made for nothing!

Fortunately, there was Li Xing as well. Although he didn’t like women’s bodies, Li Xing’s was quite pleasing to the eye, and it wasn’t too late to shift now.

Mingzhen immediately left Chu Yunyi’s body, but Li Xing did not give him this chance to regret.

A palm-sized talisman array was suddenly thrown from Li Xing’s hand, hitting right on Chu Yunyi’s chest, and after flashing briefly, it merged into the body like a drop of water into the ocean, vanishing inside.

As the talisman array disappeared, Chu Yunyi’s slightly twitching body calmed down once more. Mingzhen was horrified to find that the talisman array stuck him firmly in this body, unable to escape.

Mingzhen exclaimed, "Locking Ripple Talisman!"

The Locking Ripple Talisman was a top-tier Imprisonment Talisman Array crafted by Chu Hui at Li Xing’s request. Once activated, only the bearer can unlock it. This was specifically prepared by Li Xing to prevent Mingzhen from escaping Chu Yunyi’s body.

"Impressive insight, being a Heaven Rank talisman master for decades wasn’t in vain, you actually recognize the Locking Ripple Talisman."

Li Xing spoke as he decisively swung the saber towards Mingzhen, the sharp Sword Aura enveloping him like a net.

Mingzhen gritted his teeth, exerting all his strength to maneuver Chu Yunyi’s body, dodging Li Xing’s attack.

Chu Yunyi’s consciousness hadn’t entirely dissipated. Despite his soul being incomplete, he continued to fiercely resist Mingzhen’s will, making it several times harder for him to control the body.

Mingzhen initially planned to restore his cultivation to peak state post-parasitism, but the body was both broken and difficult to control, dragging him down significantly, which made him even more irate.

"Li Xing, how about we make a deal? You unlock the Locking Ripple Talisman, I’ll spare him and find another body. From then on, we will leave each other alone."

Li Xing swung the saber towards Mingzhen’s face, causing him to be greatly alarmed. He quickly tilted his head back to avoid having his handsome face marred.

"Li Xing, are you mad? Chu Yunyi’s still alive, attacking me is akin to attacking him!"

Li Xing’s tone carried no emotional fluctuation, as if narrating something inconsequential, calmly saying:

"He’s alive, but not for much longer. Even if you leave now, he’d be a ruined man. Since he’s destined to die, why not help me and eradicate you—the demon, making his death worthwhile for Qianyuan."

"You truly are fickle; wasn’t becoming host to Chu Yunyi your greatest desire? Now that you’ve got your way, why change your mind?"

"Hmph, that’s something you should ask what poison you gave him to make his body rot to this extent! Li Xing, he loves you so much, yet you torment him with poison; is that how you face your conscience?"

Mingzhen struck the back of the Heavenly Wolf Saber with a palm. Though the Sword Aura didn’t injure him, Li Xing’s tremendous power still vibrated his organs, causing him to cough up blood.

"Cough cough—! You’re ruthless, indeed! They say Human Clan women are emotional and sensitive, but you are quite unique."

Mingzhen wiped his mouth, the crimson blood staining his lips with an even more enchanting allure.

"Do you know that after I parasitize a person, I inherit all their memories and emotions? Tsk tsk, Chu Yunyi truly has deep-rooted feelings for you; are you willing to let someone who loves you so deeply die so humiliatingly?"

Li Xing kicked Mingzhen in the stomach, coldly watching him fly into the ruins like a sandbag.

Li Xing hoisted the Heavenly Wolf Saber onto his shoulder, looking at the ruins with an expressionless face: "What nonsense are you talking about; we’re siblings."

With a "whoosh," dust rose, bricks scattered, and Mingzhen emerged from the ruins, his eyes dark and cold as he looked at Li Xing, saying coldly:

"Siblings? Ha, what about Wei Chen?"

Mingzhen tidied his disheveled hair, suppressing the turbulent energy and blood in his chest and abdomen.

Damn, Li Xing really has a heart of stone, showing no mercy for Chu Yunyi’s body. This kick caused severe internal bleeding, making it difficult even to stand. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Despite being in excruciating pain, he continued to bring up topics, buying himself time to regain strength.

"You think I don’t know Wei Chen’s true identity? Ha, Xue Han’s Disguise Mask can be superb, but it’s trivial in my eyes. Wei Chen’s true appearance is ninety percent similar to Ye Lan; failing to recognize her would mean I am truly idiotic."

"But what I don’t understand is how you managed to make the kinship test result show you have a direct blood relationship with Ye Lan?"

Li Xing squinted her eyes. She already sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy on Mingzhen. His constant talking was actually not what it seemed. But she had her own considerations, deciding to tell him the truth, making him a knowledgeable ghost wouldn’t hurt.

"It’s simple; I swapped our appearances using a Transformation Potion. I became Wei Chen, and Wei Chen became me. The blood drawn was actually Wei Chen’s, so of course, the test showed a mother-daughter relationship."

Before dying, Xue Han told Li Xing one sentence—Wei Chen is Chu Yunyou.

Li Xing needed legitimate grounds to stay in Chu Family, preventing Mingzhen from parasitizing Chu Yunyi; thus, Chu Yunyou’s identity became her best excuse. Therefore, she devised a strategy to switch identities, making Wei Chen take her place for the kinship test, solidifying Chu Yunyou’s identity.

As for Chu Yu falsely accusing Ning Yu and deceiving Ye Lan into marriage, Li Xing inferred these two things from conversations with Chu Hui.

She originally didn’t intend to meddle in these matters, but since she took on Wei Chen’s identity, both emotionally and rationally, she had to pave a retreat for her. Consequently, she used a blank chip to reunite Wei Chen’s family, compelling the guilty-hearted Chu Yu to comply.

"I see!"

Mingzhen suddenly realized, no wonder he didn’t detect any anomaly with the Spying Technique, as that day Li Xing and Wei Chen entered and exited together, their perspectives almost identical. With slight concealment in key places, the stratagem worked flawlessly.

Mingzhen: "Heh heh, aren’t you afraid I’ll activate the eggs inside her, causing her to explode and die?"

"What, didn’t you use the Spying Technique to contact her before coming? Didn’t notice anything unusual?"

Mingzhen’s face turned immediately livid. He indeed contacted Wei Chen, but the situation mirrored Xue Han’s disappearance, with Wei Chen’s connection with him also severed.

"I temporarily blinded her, so you’re incapable of doing anything, right?" Li Xing paused, revealing her customary sly smile: "You should be thankful I can’t make everyone in Qianyuan blind; otherwise, what use would your methods of controlling people have!"

Mingzhen gritted his teeth: "Li Xing, you’re quite skilled—"

At this point, Mingzhen suddenly paused, reaching up to touch the left side of his chest, revealing a cruel, shallow smile to Li Xing.

"Oh, my heart suddenly skipped a beat; looks like Chu Yunyi is glad to know you’re not his sister. Knowing the truth before his soul scatters brings peace before his death."

It was still Chu Yunyi’s face, yet his core had changed, offering a completely different feeling, arousing Li Xing’s uncontrollable urge to hit him.

"Enough with the nonsense, prepare to die!"
