With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 173 - 171: Experiment, Exchanging for the Pure Yang Body

Chapter 173: Chapter 171: Experiment, Exchanging for the Pure Yang Body

Jiang Ming was headed to the border of Great Lii, but he needed to gather some intelligence; he couldn’t just wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.

First, he borrowed the identity of a dead hunter to inquire about the nearby cities and directions.

This disguise was only temporary, merely to make it easier to enter the city.

In Mingwu City, Jiang Ming consciously began collecting information.

The southern territory of Great Lii was vast.

At the southernmost point was Shinan Main City, one of the Thirty-Six Main Cities; the other nearby cities belonged to special border towns.

Once he reached the border, Jiang Ming planned to switch to a disguise that would make actions easier.

Changing appearance and hiding one’s aura were merely techniques within the Selfless Concealment Technique.

The Selfless Concealment Technique was even more profound than Jiang Ming had imagined, and he had no idea where Sha Miaomiao had obtained it from initially.

The Selfless Concealment Technique emphasized hiding oneself to reach a state of selflessness, where one ceases to exist and becomes something else. In Jiang Ming’s mind, he envisioned the middle-aged hunter, and in both personality and behavior, he would be close to that hunter.

Upon reaching this state, Jiang Ming’s aura naturally concealed itself, making him indistinguishable from the middle-aged hunter.

Jiang Ming looked at his coarse palms with satisfaction.

He had only just begun to grasp the technique and was already achieving this effect.

Dawn broke.

Jiang Ming’s figure arrived at a nearby village.

Jiang Ming dragged a limping leg and came to the village entrance.

"O-o-old Zhang, wh-wh-what are you doing back?"

At the village entrance stood a man about to go fetch water. He looked at Jiang Ming, shuddering, a chill running down his spine, and his teeth chattered continuously, even the wooden bucket in his hand dropped to the ground.

Jiang Ming dragged his leg, his face twisted in apparent agony.

"Why dawdle? Aren’t you going to help your old man?" Jiang Ming glared, and the man instinctively moved forward to support him.

The man swallowed hard, feeling the warmth of the arm he held, finally somewhat reassured.

"Old Zhang, I heard them say you fell to your death in the mountains..."

"Your old man dead? Then the one standing in front of you must be a ghost, huh?"

The man’s face paled at those words, a fine sweat appearing on his forehead.

"If your old man were a ghost, he’d eat you first. Now hurry up and get me home."

"A-a-alright." The man immediately helped Jiang Ming into the village.

This was also Jiang Ming’s test of the Selfless Concealment Technique.

Everyone has a unique aura, even twins have differences in their auras.

These differences in aura come from one’s personality, habits, cultivation, and more.

As long as Jiang Ming remembered the aura and leveraged the Selfless Concealment Technique, he could transform into someone else.

The only thing missing would be the corresponding memories.

Moreover, the object of transformation didn’t necessarily have to be human. If Jiang Ming learned transformation techniques in the future, he could merge perfectly with the environment, sense the aura of something in the environment, and thus transform into it, achieving the ability to conceal his aura.

Besides, common techniques for hiding cultivation or changing appearance were just small techniques accompanying this method.

"Old Zhang is back!" the man shouted.

Immediately, people emerged.

Some were exclaiming in surprise and joy.

The looks directed at Jiang Ming were varied, while Jiang Ming spread his Divine Sense around, taking in all the words of those nearby, rapidly organizing and collecting the countless pieces of information within his mind.

Finally, someone shouted, "Let’s call for the village head and have the Mountain God take a look."

An elder supported by the crowd arrived, and he looked Jiang Ming up and down, a smile appearing on Jiang Ming’s face.

"Zhang Tie, it’s good to be alive, it’s good to be alive, go to the Mountain God Temple first."

Jiang Ming had already learned from the words of those around him that the man he transformed into was called Zhang Tie, the Hunter Captain of this village named Xiaoxi Village, who had gone missing yesterday morning while hunting in the mountains.

The Mountain God Temple was not too big nor small, not as grand as the one in Jiang Family Village.

Jiang Ming was led inside, feeling a wave sweeping over him, likely a force akin to Divine Sense.

A copper coin before Jiang Ming cracked.

"No problem."

When the temple priest announced this result, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Soon, Jiang Ming was escorted home, where there were not many people, just an elderly mother and two children.

Jiang Ming could feel he was fully integrated into this family.

His family’s joyful weeping, his stern presence as the head of the household during dinner...

At night, alone in a simple room, Jiang Ming sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, his eyes slightly open, his aura now entirely different.

At times appearing weak, at times authoritative, at times elegant...

"This Selfless Concealment Technique... is truly exquisite..." Jiang Ming murmured softly.

It surpassed ninety-nine percent of concealment techniques across Nine Rivers, among which the top-tier techniques came from the Nascent Soul Transmission Envoys.

Golden light flickered before Jiang Ming’s eyes, and the surrounding environment began changing swiftly.

Light reappeared in this space, a gentle breeze blowing, and a picturesque landscape unfurled before Jiang Ming.

This place was the cultivation field of the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Inner Sect.

"The Simulation Points are sufficient..." Due to the slaughter at the abdomen of Longevity Peak, Jiang Ming’s Simulation Points had swelled to unprecedented levels.

Next... a Character Card fluttered before Jiang Ming, streams of information projected into the air.

"Since the Simulation Points are sufficient..."

"Exchange for the Pure Yang Body!" A gleam shone in Jiang Ming’s eyes.

A stream of clear Qi was gently forming in Jiang Ming’s Dantian.

The clear Qi gathered, soon to dissipate and fuse into Jiang Ming’s body.

Without the Three Pure Yang Qi, the Pure Yang Body was essentially a special Furnace Body Physique, a passive physique.

Jiang Ming activated the already-acquired Three Pure Yang Qi Technique.

The Qi in his Dantian split into three, with one part rising, integrating into the Sea of Consciousness, transforming into Celestial Soul Qi.

Another part descended, merging with the body, transforming into Earth Body Qi.

The remaining part merged with the Dantian, forming Human Qi.

Jiang Ming quivered, clearly sensing the existence of the Three Pure Yang Qi.

Jiang Ming abruptly opened his eyes, forming a hand seal, and a Fire Dragon shot forth.

Its potency increased by at least twenty percent compared to before.

Moreover...

Jiang Ming integrated the Earth Body Qi into his body, clearly feeling his physique strengthening.

Though the Pure Yang Body might not be an extraordinary physique, it was certainly quite remarkable.

"Next... the Nine Lotus Longevity Technique..."

The Nine Lotus Longevity Technique was the complete version of the Nine Lotus Long Fire Technique.

It was an ultimate technique directly reaching Nascent Soul Great Perfection, originating from the Longevity Pavilion’s Primordial Ancestor, the former life of Jie Fangtao, a Nascent Soul powerhouse.
