344: Chapter 344 Golden Entry Disguise

[Disguise]

The moment Qin Changsheng saw the Golden Trait, all the characteristics regarding Disguise appeared on his attribute panel.

[Disguise: Golden Trait]

[1. Aura Disguise: Can precisely simulate another's aura. Whether it is a Cultivator's spiritual energy aura, a Yao Beast's Demonic Qi, or even a Mortal's aura, it can be perfectly replicated. Even in close contact with the simulated target, it is difficult to see through, making it suitable for infiltration, reconnaissance, and other covert operations.]

[2. Concealment: While in a disguised state, the power of the trait will automatically envelop the Divine Soul, hiding one's mental fluctuations. Even when facing techniques or Magical Artifacts that can probe the mind, one can perfectly evade detection.]

[3. Synchronization: All of your Incarnations can use the Golden Trait Disguise!]

Looking at this characteristic, a flash of joy crossed Qin Changsheng's eyes.

One must know that the Yao Race had always relied on aura to distinguish individuals.

Wang Cheng had never been able to enter the core of the Yao Race precisely because he was a Human Race Cultivator.

If Wang Cheng had this Aura Disguise, he would definitely be able to become a core member of the Yao Race.

He would gain access to the core secrets of the Yao Race.

Shen Guhong, Shen Hu, and the others would no longer be on guard against Wang Cheng.

Qin Changsheng slowly withdrew the [Disguise] trait, allowing it to merge into his Divine Soul, his eyes filled with ecstasy and satisfaction.

He raised his hand to activate the trait's power, his figure shifted slightly, and soon a unique Demonic Qi emanated from his body.

"With this Golden Trait, Wang Cheng can easily enter the core of the Yao Race," Qin Changsheng thought, having already formed a plan in his mind.

Although Wang Cheng had been doing things for Shen Guhong, Shen Bing, and the others...

...over all these years, Wang Cheng had never entered the core of the Yao Race.

Neither Shen Bing nor Shen Guhong had ever truly trusted Wang Cheng.

If Wang Cheng had the aura of the Yao Race and became one of them, then he could enter their core.

He would also be able to hear about the movements of the Yao Race.

After checking the Golden Trait Disguise, Qin Changsheng sat cross-legged on a prayer mat and began to plan for the future.

First was the heavenly dao fragment.

This was the core treasure Qin Changsheng needed.

As long as he had a heavenly dao fragment, Qin Changsheng could upgrade a Golden Trait into a Heavenly Dao Trait.

Qin Changsheng's strength would also receive a massive boost.

Therefore, searching for heavenly dao fragments was currently his primary objective.

Next, Qin Changsheng thought about the method to upgrade his Purple Core.

Although he had already broken through to the Purple Core and reached the Second Layer of Golden Core, and the Purple Core added a thirty percent chance of Nascent Soul formation, the Purple Core was not the end; above the Purple Core, there was still the Golden Core.

If the quality of his core could be upgraded to a true Golden Core, his probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage would increase significantly.

Therefore, finding a method to improve the quality of his Purple Core was his second major goal.

Furthermore, it was to find a Golden Core Divine Ability.

Qin Changsheng was now at the Second Layer of Golden Core, and his cultivation was steadily improving, but even now, he did not understand what a Golden Core Divine Ability was.

A Golden Core Divine Ability was the core combat strength of a Golden Core Cultivator, far exceeding ordinary techniques. Whether fighting others, exploring Secret Realms, or dealing with crises, it could play a decisive role.

Finding a Golden Core Divine Ability that suited him had become an urgent matter that he had to prepare for as soon as possible.

Besides his own cultivation, Qin Changsheng also thought of Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng's current situation within the Yao Race was extremely awkward; he had failed to truly integrate into the Yao Race, yet he couldn't easily extricate himself due to his prior associations. In the long run, not only would he be unable to provide assistance, but he might also fall into danger or even expose Qin Changsheng's whereabouts.

Therefore, he needed to arrange a new, suitable identity for Wang Cheng so that he could establish a stable foothold within the Yao Race.

Finally, it was to find broken heaven-grade magical tools.

He possessed the Heavenly Dao Trait: Repair. As long as he had enough Spirit Stones, he could easily Repair numerous treasures.

If a heaven-grade magical tool was powerful enough...

...then Qin Changsheng would fully Repair it and keep it for his own use.

If the power was mediocre and didn't suit him, he would use the single-use Repair method to fix it and keep its appearance intact, then use it to swindle the Yao Race.

The Yao Race had always been greedy and extremely thirsty for heaven-grade magical tools. Using these single-use repaired "defective goods" would surely allow him to trade for a large amount of Spirit Stones and spiritual materials from the Yao Race. This would both accumulate resources and weaken the Yao Race's strength, killing two birds with one stone.

Qin Changsheng closed his eyes in deep thought, sorting through these five major goals one by one, and he already had a general direction in mind.

...

Flowing Fire Sect.

Inside the Liuhuo Hall.

Numerous experts of the Yao Race were gathered here.

Because of the recent loss of Spirit Stones, the mutiny of the frontline army, and pressure from the internal Elders of the Yao Race, Shen Guhong's expression was very poor.

Shen Guhong scanned the people below before speaking: "Recently, how much of a Spirit Stone deficit do we still have on the front lines?"

As his voice fell, Shen Hu stepped out from the crowd and said, "Reporting to Big Brother, recently our Yao Race's Spirit Stones have been lost one after another; additionally, we were swindled out of three hundred million, and the number of Yao Race descendants is increasing!"

"After calculation, this year's Spirit Stone deficit requires one hundred million!"

"One hundred million Spirit Stones?" Shen Guhong's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this.

Originally, their Yao Race's Spirit Stones were very abundant.

However, a mysterious person had swindled them out of three hundred million Spirit Stones, causing the internal Spirit Stones of the Yao Race to become tight.

It was also because of the loss of Spirit Stones that the warriors on the northern front of the Yao Race had lost their morale.

Several Yao Race outposts had even been counter-attacked and taken by Human Race Cultivators.

"Do you all have any way to plug this gap?" Shen Guhong looked toward his trusted aides.

After his voice fell, the hall remained dead silent; not a single person dared to raise their head and respond.

The trusted aides all lowered their heads and averted their eyes, their expressions respectful but carrying a hint of panic, their brows tightly furrowed.

The Spirit Stone deficit was so massive that ordinary methods simply couldn't make up for it. If they rashly spoke up to propose a plan and it failed, it would surely incur Shen Guhong's wrath.

After all, this wasn't an ordinary deficit, but one hundred million Spirit Stones.

Even for some of those great Human Race Sects, their annual income probably didn't reach one hundred million Spirit Stones.

At this moment, Shen Hu stepped out from the side and said, "Big Brother, I have a way!"

Hearing his voice, everyone raised their heads, their gazes falling in unison upon Shen Hu.

Doubt flickered in everyone's eyes.

After all, Shen Hu had always been a battle maniac; besides fighting, he simply didn't know anything else.

Even Shen Guhong raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a deep voice, "Oh? You have a plan too?"

Shen Hu raised his head and slowly reported, "Big Brother, this year the Azure Cloud Sect will hold a trade fair for Golden Core Cultivators!"

"Inside our treasury, we have a method for upgrading a Purple Core to a Golden Core and a cultivation technique that burns longevity. Why don't we take these to the trade fair?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall instantly erupted into chaos. A group of Yao Race experts stood up one after another, their expressions changing drastically as they spoke to stop him, their tones urgent and firm.

"Absolutely not! Shen Hu, are you crazy?"

"That Jade Slip for upgrading a Purple Core to a Golden Core is a secret of our Yao Race that must not be shared!"

"How can we sell it to the Human Race?"

"The Human Race and our Yao Race have always been irreconcilable. This secret method is one of our Yao Race's Foundations; it must never be leaked, otherwise the consequences will be endless!"

The other Yao Race experts also nodded, one after another voicing their opposition, their tones full of wariness and dissatisfaction.

In their view, the secret method to upgrade a Purple Core to a Golden Core and the technique that burned longevity were important assets for the Yao Race to crush the Human Race. Once leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if they were in a Spirit Stone crisis, they absolutely could not use the secret method Jade Slip for trade.

Facing everyone's obstruction and reprimand, Shen Hu not only didn't panic in the slightest but instead threw back his head and laughed loudly. His laughter was coarse and arrogant, echoing through the empty hall and instantly drowning out the sound of everyone's discussion.

The Yao Race experts were all stunned and stopped their arguing, looking at Shen Hu in confusion, their faces filled with bewilderment.

Gou Peak couldn't help but ask, "Shen Hu, what are you laughing at? We are all trying to advise you, yet you are being so insolent. Have you truly gone mad?"
