Whoosh—!
Master Ge stood up, his upper body blooming like a at flower, splitting into five uneven petals.
At the front of each piece of flesh was a human face, and at the back, a large mouth full of sharp teeth, with purple fungal filants connecting the petals.
The "bride" he had been longing for had no power to resist at all.
They cried out "dear" and "love," while tears of excitent stread down the corners of dozens of mouths all at once.
The at flower moved step by step towards the "bride."
He casually placed the now-useless [Lifebound Talisman] and the White Jade Scroll, which had been in his palm all along, on the table.
Master Ge’s consciousness had only occupied half of the body, but now the collective obsession of the four disciples naturally took temporary control.
But this old, crafty follower of the Devil Path had made thorough preparations long ago.
With the Ganoderma in the courtyard to detect any movent and the [Lifebound Talisman] to suppress the "bride," there was no fear of any mishaps.
"Actually, I am rather accepting of this most direct kind of ’eating.’
If their obsession were another kind of ’eating,’ that really would be a disaster, and all integrity would be lost."
The Yan Han language is profound and complex; a single word "eat" can an far more than one thing, especially when said by a man to a woman.
Of course, it’s the sa when a woman says it to a man.
Although this old Taoist, who played his five disciples like they were applauding in his palm, never played by the rules...
He didn’t waste words and went straight to the point.
But Wang Yuan was not panicked.
After all, to be forewarned is to be foreard, and they had a contingency plan for every possible form of ’eating’ they might encounter.
For Lady Peach Fairy, coming to this place ant certain death, but Wang Yuan was not affected in the slightest.
The reason he could sense what Master Ge had done with the [Lifebound Talisman] was because he possessed another Peach Talisman from Lady Peach Fairy herself.
He could break free from the stiffening effect whenever he wished.
"The essence of all magic is deception, deceiving one’s vision, hearing, taste, psychology, cognition...
The most artful thievery is the sa; all the previous performances were for this mont!"
With a thought, "Thief Cat" Cui Tong and showmaster Wang Yuan truly rged into one at that mont.
As the master and brothers approached step by step, the "bride" went through a range of expressions from shock, to fear, to an epiphany, to complete breakdown, and finally to utter insanity.
Enacting the ntal journey from sanity to madness with verisimilitude.
And then...
"Lady Peach Fairy" went mad due to ntal breakdown, and she mutated!
The radiant peach blossom tattoo on her shoulder suddenly sprouted branches and leaves, growing into a peach tree as thick as a bowl, the flowers blossoming and withering in an instant.
In a matter of monts, the branches bore large, white-peach-hued peaches, each one seemingly adorned with the beautiful Jade Mask of Lady Peach Fairy.
Master Ge and the other disciples, whose consciousness was clouded by obsession, were montarily stunned.
"Mutated?"
After practicing the Human-Faced Peach Immortal Skill, a Magician could completely alter their human lineage and beco a Tree Charm Peach Fairy who serves the West Queen Holy Mother.
By condensing the essence of peach wood, getting close to peach trees, stimulating growth, and using peach wood to hide, one naturally possessed the power to suppress spirits and ghosts; they were adept at illusions, easily arousing and teasing the seven emotions and six desires of living beings.
Conversely, this also made them extrely vulnerable to being influenced by emotions and desires, potentially reverting back to a Human-Faced Peach Tree.
Master Ge didn’t care about her condition.
[Life Chart] is the least likely thing to change in this world; even turning into a ghost or becoming [Weird] wouldn’t change it.
Using Lady Peach Fairy in this state to create the "Elixir" might even yield better results.
He was the first to bite into a peach that closely resembled Lady Peach Fairy and started eating voraciously, with the red juice dripping down his chin.
The mutated Immortal Peaches seed to contain not fruit flesh, but the flesh and blood of Lady Peach Fairy herself.
The other disciples followed suit, devouring the Immortal Peaches that Lady Peach Fairy had transford into, as if they were partaking in her flesh and blood.
"Yes, this is the taste of Lady Immortal."
"Delicious, it’s truly exquisite."
"Tasty, so tasty!"
To be honest, Wang Yuan really admired Master Ge’s technique.
The "Ghost Matchmaker" Lady Gao once said that the more desperate the life before an Elixir is, the more delicious the Immortality Wine brewed from it.
If the real Lady Peach Fairy were here, this action would not only satisfy my own obsession but also serve as a reprocessing of the "Elixir".
Of course.
The true situation, obviously, could not be that Lady Peach Fairy really mutated.
Instead, ever since she learned the news, she had been continuously drawing her own blood and preserving it with talismans, until today when she successfully refined a special peach pit.
She had Wang Yuan carry it on his person, pretending to be out of control after mutation.
They did not aim to completely deceive everyone, but only to montarily fool them.
Because the fourth precept of the "Ganoderma Revival Immortal Law" was the weakest point they could exploit the most!
"Drunk Blood, after consuming high-quality Blood al, one might beco intoxicated, during which thought processes slow down and the desire to act decreases, with the duration being variable."
Very soon.
When each "Groom" had eaten three or four Human-Faced Peaches transford from the brides, their complexions gradually beca rosy, and their eyes started to look dazed.
Their perception of the outside world also beca increasingly dull.
It was at this mont.
Flap flap...
A magpie suddenly flew in from the outside window, in a panic toppled a wooden box on the table, spilling out a glittering object.
The four disciples who were solely fixated on the "bride" – who had already transford into a peach tree – turned a deaf ear to everything in the outside world.
However, Master Ge imdiately shifted his gaze over there.
Upon seeing the treasure that Lady Peach Fairy had presented to him in the box, his pupils abruptly contracted.
"This is..."
Even burdened with the obsessions of four disciples, what Master Ge most desired in his heart was not Lady Peach Fairy, but the "Heavenly Book"!
It was the Small Book of Life and Death that could alter his Life Chart and enable him to escape the fate dictated by the "Immortal Pill"!
This ti, the Rashamon Bone materialized before his eyes into a book with golden pages, filled with dense text, drawings, and talisman seals...
The beginning read: "San Tu Yin Official Skill," claiming that practicing this skill would allow one to assu the position of an Underworld Yin Official, and so on.
And every word and sentence was true!
Wang Yuan had long since known what Master Ge’s obsession was and had naturally prepared accordingly.
For instance, this San Tu Yin Official Skill was entirely accurate, missing only the key "Precept Taboo".
With the precept "Yin and Yang must not interfere with each other", it could be said that without an extraordinary amount of "rit" by one’s side, whosoever practiced it would surely die.
There was absolutely no need to worry about inadvertently aiding the enemy.
Master Ge imdiately reached out, his arm suddenly swelled abnormally and snatched the golden page into his hand.
Then, word by word, he read the contents, unable to take his eyes off it.
The Rashamon Bone, even after being refined into the Mixed Elent Thunderbolt, did not affect its original function.
The "Deceitful Heart" ability that forcibly altered cognition was virtually heaven-defying, more unsolvable than the deception of consciousness by magical performance.
True and false, Master Ge, who was already in a state of "Drunk Blood," beca even more dazed, no longer caring about what was actually happening in the outside world.
At this mont, the critical ti for tonight’s operation finally arrived.
Wang Yuan glanced at the Qi Fortune that was bursting from the Small Book of Life and Death.
Seizing the opportunity, he quietly sprouted tiger ears and a tail, gestured with his hand, and a subtle yin wind blew over.
Whoo—!
With Lady Peach Fairy as the inside traitor, he had already locked in his target.
The Lifebound Talisman on the table, as well as a Jade Scroll engraved with the image of Taoyuan, were seized by the Five Ghosts’ imnse might, and vanished into thin air, only to land in his hand.
It was as if a close-up magic trick had been successfully perford, unnoticed by anyone.
There was nothing special about the Talisman.
But the mont the Jade Scroll touched Wang Yuan’s skin, his vision montarily blurred.
When his consciousness cleared again.
He found himself inside a lavish eight-horse bronze carriage.
Dressed in a Crown Robe, he appeared to be so ancient King.
Suddenly, the charioteer in front called out:
"Great King, the holy site of the Venerable God West Queen Holy Mother is near! But I wonder if the Mortal World truly possesses an Undying Elixir?"
