Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 946 Face

Speaking of which, Jing Yu has some connection with the famous Daoist Yuan Dan from the Immortal Realm.

When he was still in the Immortal Continent, he received the Daoist alchemy inheritance from the Daoist Yuan Dan in the Xuan Yuan Feather Transformation Heaven, which had a profound influence on his own Daoist alchemy skills.

If he were to be a little more shameless and try to establish a connection, Jing Yu could even call himself a disciple of Yuan Dan.

The cultivators in the hall whispered among themselves. At first, they were naturally stunned by Dan Dingzi's self-introduction, but they quickly realized what was going on.

The phrase "disciple of Yuan Dan" sounds impressive, implying a claim of being a direct descendant of the Dao Lord, but in reality, it is very likely not so.

For example, if an ordinary disciple from the Yuan Dan Hall, after reaching the Celestial Immortal realm, believes that his path has come to an end and there is no further progress, he will most likely not stay in the Yuan Dan Hall and waste his time, but will go out and establish his own sect.

Not all disciples from Daojun's faction are geniuses. Some may be extraordinary when they first enter the sect, but as their cultivation level rises, they will eventually become just like everyone else. There are quite a few disciples who go out and establish their own lineage.

Although he is indeed a disciple from the Yuan Dan Hall, strictly speaking, he has little to do with the Dao Lord's faction anymore. It can only be said that he still has some incense-related ties and some classmate friendship with a few important figures in the Dao Lord's faction.

They might be able to pass on a message, or they might completely lose touch with their lineage.

Generally speaking, no one would offend such a force, since they might be related to some important figure... But how much respect could one have for them? Not really, since at best, they're just a Celestial Realm power.

This Dan Dingzi's alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary. It's probably true that he has some connection with the [Yuan Dan Dao Jun], but it's highly unlikely that he's a direct descendant of the Dao Jun. He's probably just a junior member of some Yuan Dan Hall disciple's family.

Even so, it still attracted a group of outstanding talents present to come forward and curry favor with them!

After all, he is someone who is connected to the Dao Lord's power!

Jing Yu, however, thought that this person was mostly just boasting.

After all, he truly inherited the alchemy skills of the Yuan Dan Dao Jun.

In his opinion, Dan Dingzi's alchemy skills might be superior to his own.

However, the methods he used were actually somewhat "outdated" compared to the pill formulas and secret techniques left behind by Yuan Dan Dao Jun.

"I wonder where this fraudulent charlatan came from, daring to claim to be a disciple of Yuan Dan Sect..." Jing Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully, suddenly feeling something was amiss.

"Hmm? Fluctuation in destiny?"

There was a faint fluctuation around Dan Dingzi, which Jing Yu keenly noticed, and her gaze toward Dan Dingzi became suspicious.

"What is the source of this slight fluctuation? Fate? It doesn't seem like it."

Jing Yu had already cast a detection spell on Dan Dingzi, but the result was completely clean, with no indication of any destiny present.

"No...this is not an illusion."

Jing Yu was extremely confident in her spiritual sense, so she activated the [Law of Fate] with all her might, and the gray mist in her major acupoints began to surge and churn rapidly!

The next moment, the fluctuations of fate around Dan Dingzi suddenly intensified, and countless threads of law manifested by the [Law of Fate] continuously "cut" at Dan Dingzi's body.

As if a thick curtain had been ripped open, a purple light, visible only to Jing Yu himself, burst forth from Dan Dingzi's body!

The mysterious mirror in his dantian trembled violently, and four purple seal characters slowly emerged on its surface—

A hundred faces and a thousand appearances.

"【Hundred Faces and Thousand Appearances】, Grade: Spiritual (Purple)".

"Specific function: This destiny endows the owner with the ability to transform into any living being, not only in appearance, but also in spirit and magical power. Ordinary detection methods cannot see through the disguise. It is limited to transforming into living beings whose realm does not exceed that of the owner."

"A hundred faces, a thousand appearances? A disguised destiny!"

Jing Yu's heart skipped a beat: "He even has a secret technique to conceal his destiny? No wonder I couldn't detect his destiny at first!"

Dan Dingzi's secret technique for concealing one's destiny is not low-level. Although it is not as good as the one that [Buddha of Universal Salvation] once taught him, it is enough to deal with cultivators below the Golden Immortal level.

At least the "Fate-Knowing Mirror" of the Hall of Longevity would certainly be unable to determine this person's fate.

If Jing Yu hadn't completed the [Great Dao of Destiny], making him practically a favored son in this path, we really wouldn't have been able to see through Dan Dingzi's disguise!

"This person's appearance is probably a disguise. Why would he impersonate a cultivator from the Yuan Dan Sect? What exactly is he planning to do at the Mingtai Banquet?" Jing Yu vaguely sensed that this person had ulterior motives.

At this moment, a prodigy in the next seat exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist Ming, the reputation of this Mingtai Banquet is truly growing. I never imagined it could attract cultivators with ties to the Dao Lord's forces."

"Generally, after each Mingtai Banquet, Fellow Daoist Ming will select a prodigy to come to the Ming Mansion to learn supernatural abilities and deduce the path of cultivation... and will also bestow generous gifts upon them."

"Fellow Daoist Dan Dingzi's alchemy skills are unpredictable, and he also has a powerful background. This time, the 'guest of honor' of the magistrate is probably this person."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yu's eyes flashed: "So that's what you were planning?"

Ming Yutai, seated in the main position, appeared eager to recruit talent, bowing respectfully to Dan Dingzi and saying:

"Fellow Daoist, please linger after the banquet. May I have the honor of seeking your private guidance on alchemy? If you are so kind as to impart your wisdom, I will surely repay you!"

But then Dan Dingzi suddenly said leisurely, "This humble Taoist has a few pills that are very helpful for breaking through realms. I would like to ask you, young master, to take a look."

Ming Yutai was overjoyed: "In that case..."

At this moment, Jing Yu suddenly stood up, slowly strolled to the center of the hall, raised her head and said loudly:

"Fellow Daoist Dan Dingzi, your alchemy skills are truly divine... I am [Xuanwu Daoist], may I step forward to demonstrate my Dao?"

Ming Yutai was slightly displeased at being interrupted, but being a young master from a prominent family, he was very well-mannered and did not show it.

But upon seeing that the person who came up on stage was actually a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous.

Although a servant had sent a message before the banquet, hinting that this person was extremely mysterious, the gap in their cultivation levels was real. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator, even a direct descendant of a Dao Lord, could only offer very limited assistance to a Cave Heaven cultivator like myself.

So Mingyutai said somewhat casually, "I wonder what kind of path you wish to perform?"

"The Way of Body Refinement".

boom!

Before Jing Yu finished speaking, an unparalleled surge of blood energy erupted from his frail body!

The dissipating blood energy almost condensed into a solid [blood energy smoke], soaring into the sky and nearly breaking through the roof of the reception hall!

"Practicing... Qi Refining to Spirit, Body Refining to Heaven?" Ming Yutai asked in shock, "Where did you learn your master?"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole palace was in an uproar.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yu smiled slightly and said calmly:

“Disciple of Tianwu Sect.”
