Mastery level in Disguise Talent.
It can alter the arrangement of muscles and bones in the body and mimic others' auras, making it a divine skill for robbery, fleeing, and hiding.
Lou Yi disguised as his friend Rong Xuejian, a spirit pet of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, with no flaw detectable.
In this way, as long as he doesn't have close contact with Elder Wang, he can freely enter and exit the sect, no longer feeling confined.
Of course, the time cannot be too long, as Rong Xuejian has his own matters and needs to cultivate.
But at critical moments, it can definitely play a significant role.
Thinking about this, 'Rong Xuejian' returned to the cave within half a day after leaving Disciple Peak, seemingly still needing to find 'Lou Yi'.
A moment later, he left the cave.
And the crow on the tree branch nearby kept staring intently at the cave entrance.
Unaware that Lou Yi and Rong Xuejian had already switched identities twice.
Since he was being watched by the crow, there was little he could do outside, so Lou Yi immediately shifted his focus entirely to cultivating the Profound Yin Technique, barely leaving the cave.
Another half month passed, and his Immortal Realm had advanced to: Qi Cultivation Third Level (510/600).
In another month, he could completely breakthrough the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation.
At this time, the Hall Master of the Four Seas Association, Zhang Li, excitedly arrived.
"Junior Brother Lou, are you there?"
"Senior Brother Zhang, please come in!"
Inside the cave, Zhang Li informed Lou Yi of some good news, the whereabouts of the Dragon Saliva Grass had been discovered by someone from the Four Seas Association.
"The Hundred Herb Valley, located thousands of miles west of the Corpse-Driving Sect, near the Zhao Kingdom border.
A relative of an ally from our association recently saw traces of a wyvern in the valley," Zhang Li said.
"Wyvern?" Lou Yi recalled from the ancient books he had read before, "It looks like a serpent, its body has three colors, a fleshy lump grows on its head, and it's extremely poisonous.
Ordinary wyverns can live for over a hundred years, the refined ones even longer, and it's rumored that a wyvern spirit that has cultivated for over a thousand years might even hope to become a dragon."
"That's right, and more importantly, wherever a wyvern appears, there will definitely be Dragon Saliva Grass," Zhang Li smiled and said.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang!" Lou Yi was very pleased to hear this.
After all, the Dragon Saliva Grass is crucial for advancing the Demon Summoning Scripture, which in turn affects the progress of Abnormal People, directly tying it to Lou Yi's current survival.
"Hey, we are all part of the Four Seas Association, no need to be so polite," Zhang Li smiled.
He accepted the heavy pouch of gold and silver that Lou Yi handed over without refusing, as it was the association's rule.
Assisting in finding an item requires using the Four Seas Association's resources. The association is not a charity and certainly charges the appropriate fee.
"The relative of our ally is still staying around the Hundred Herb Valley, you need to find him, and he will tell you the exact location."
Then Zhang Li informed Lou Yi of the relative's name, appearance, and other information.
The Hundred Herb Valley is considerable in size, akin to a small town, and blindly searching like a headless chicken would probably lead to little gain.
After Zhang Li left, Lou Yi began to ponder in his heart when he should set out for the Hundred Herb Valley.
But as soon as this thought arose, he was inexplicably enveloped in a sense of panic, as if great misfortune was about to befall him.
The hawk in his mind also called out restlessly, flying back and forth.
'Something's wrong, the Sixth Sense of a martial artist is warning me,' Lou Yi's expression turned grim.
His Sixth Sense had never been wrong, so there had to be a problem here!
With just a little thought, he understood the reason.
The person capable of threatening his life now is none other than Elder Wang.
Even if he transformed into Rong Xuejian and sneaked out the way of deceiving the world.
But to find the Dragon Saliva Grass, he must contact that intermediary.
And as long as the intermediary is someone of Elder Wang's, regardless of whether it's Rong Xuejian or Lou Yi who goes, they are certain to return empty-handed!
As for how Elder Wang knows he needs the 'Dragon Saliva Grass' this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, it's even simpler.
Just have the upper echelons of the Four Seas Association inquire a bit, and they would know?
No matter how powerful the Four Seas Association is, it's an organization formed by disciples, how can it prevent the infiltration of a Foundation Establishment Elder?
Thinking of this, Lou Yi felt a deep sense of chilling fear.
In terms of strength or status, a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator is vastly different from him.
If he decides to target him shamelessly, it would be a dimensionality reduction strike.
'It's better to stay in the cave honestly and breakthrough the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage first.' Lou Yi thought.
So in the following days, he still remained unmoved, sitting steadily as if fishing.
Zhang Li came by with a puzzled look, asking why Lou Yi hadn't set out.
"The relative of our association ally won't stay in the Hundred Herb Valley for long." Zhang Li said, "If you want to find Dragon Saliva Grass, you need to set off as soon as possible."
"What Senior Brother Zhang says is true, but I have just recently passed a milestone, and my need for the Dragon Saliva Grass isn't as urgent.
It's actually another thing called Wind Riding Fruit that I urgently need now!"
"Wind Riding Fruit?" Zhang Li nodded, "I'll go back and ask around, see if there's a way to find some.
But don't get your hopes too high, finding the Dragon Saliva Grass so quickly already exceeded my expectations.
The Wind Riding Fruit, similarly only mentioned in ancient texts, likely won't be found so easily."
"Lucky if found, accept it if not." Lou Yi smiled.
Watching Zhang Li's departing figure, Lou Yi began to ponder deeply.
He didn't suspect that Zhang Li and Elder Wang were colluding to harm him, it's highly possible that Zhang Li was kept in the dark and unwittingly played a pawn.
This is an excellent opportunity to test if the Four Seas Association indeed has Elder Wang's spies...
Ten days later, Zhang Li again arrived hurriedly, his face full of joy.
"What luck, Junior Brother Lou, what luck!" Zhang Li's shiny forehead glistened as he clapped, "Guess what? We also found the Wind Riding Fruit!
He City will hold an auction next month, and one of the headline treasures is the Wind Riding Fruit…"
'He City?'
Lou Yi listened, smirking to himself.
He City is the closest city to the Corpse-Driving Sect, less than a hundred miles away.
He could attend the auction in the morning and be back by the afternoon.
Elder Wang is indeed thoughtful!
"Great, thank you, Senior Brother Zhang." Lou Yi showed great joy, "I will definitely go next month!"
After speaking, he routinely gave Zhang Li a pouch of gold and silver.
Of course, a portion of this was Zhang Li's commission, but most of it was for the members who helped Lou Yi find the Wind Riding Fruit and others involved on this line.
"Which Senior Brother helped find my desired treasure so easily?" Lou Yi pretended to ask nonchalantly, "I should find an opportunity to thank him properly."
"Hey, I'd like to know too, but we can't just casually inquire, it would break our Four Seas Association's rules." Zhang Li smiled.
After Zhang Li left, Lou Yi went to Wendao Peak to find Bi Yaoyao.
The black crow outside the cave, initially dozing on a branch, became excited and cawed repeatedly when it saw Lou Yi finally leaving, fluttering its wings to follow closely.
However, it stopped in front of Elder Bi's cave residence, not daring to advance any further.
