138: Chapter 138 A Tier 3 Extraordinary Treasure, the Illusion Bead!

Ye Changge murmured to himself, his gaze resting on that Pill Furnace.

Once Xiao Caiyue's condition stabilizes and she is officially brought back to the Family, perhaps he could ask her to help design a more efficient Spirit Gathering Formation to increase the production capacity of the Talisman shop.

And there is that girl Xiao Yurou, who possesses a Precious Pill Body and is so obsessed with Alchemy; if nurtured properly, she might well become the Ye Family's second Second-Rank Alchemist in the future.

As for Xiao Zhi...

Taking her back to keep Liu Yiyi company would be good; that girl has a pure nature, and the two should get along well.

Just as he was pondering these various thoughts, suddenly—

"Ding!"

A familiar notification sound from the System rang out in his mind without warning.

【 Congratulations to the Host, the number of offspring has reached sixty, completing a milestone achievement, and obtaining one chance to draw a prize! 】

Ye Changge was slightly stunned.

Sixty people already?

He subconsciously did the math.

Before leaving home, the number of his offspring was already approaching fifty.

During these days in the Immortal City, although he had not taken any new concubines, the wives and concubines at home who were already pregnant must have given birth one after another.

Calculating the time, they were indeed due to give birth within these few days.

The corners of Ye Changge's mouth curled up slightly, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

Sixty offspring.

The eldest son of the main branch who was once unknown in the Ye Family of Biluo Lake, is now the head of a Family who owns Longmai Mountain, has wives and concubines in groups, and a house full of children.

【 Do you wish to draw a prize immediately? 】

The System's notification sound rang out again.

Ye Changge took a deep breath, suppressing the joy in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"Draw."

As the words fell, a flash of light appeared before his eyes.

A giant virtual roulette wheel emerged out of thin air, suspended in his Sea of Consciousness.

The roulette wheel began to spin.

Countless points of light streaked by like meteors, dazzling the eyes.

Ye Changge stared fixedly at the rapidly spinning pointer, feeling a hint of anticipation in his heart.

After all, every prize draw had been a huge help to him.

He wondered what it would be this time?

The rotation speed of the roulette wheel gradually slowed down.

The pointer swept past various reward light clusters—Cultivation Techniques, Magical Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, Spirit Pets, Rare Treasures...

Finally, it slowly stopped on a region enveloped in seven-colored halos.

【 Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Rare Treasure—Illusion Pearl! 】

Rare Treasure?

Ye Changge's eyes lit up.

Anything that can be separately categorized as a "Rare Treasure" by the System is usually not an ordinary item.

He hurriedly clicked to open the System introduction—

【 Illusion Pearl: Third-Rank Rare Treasure.

Can change appearance at will, making it difficult for ordinary Cultivators to discern.

It can also absorb a wisp of aura from any target, after which it can perfectly simulate that target's appearance, aura, physique, and even cultivation fluctuations.

In the simulated state, unless the opponent's cultivation level is two major Realms higher than the Host, they cannot see through it. Each simulation can last for seven days. Note: Absorbing aura requires the target to be within a range of three zhang, and the target must not notice. 】

After reading the introduction, a brilliant light shone in Ye Changge's eyes.

Perfectly simulate appearance, aura, and cultivation fluctuations?

And unless the opponent's cultivation level is two major Realms higher than his own, they cannot see through it?

He is currently at the Foundation Establishment Second Layer, and two major Realms higher would be... Nascent Soul!

The entire Zhao State only has one Nascent Soul Cultivator on the surface.

In other words, with this pearl, he could walk sideways across the entire Zhao State, and no one would be able to see through his disguise!

Ye Changge was ecstatic.

Although he currently possesses a Spiritual Artifact robe obtained from the System for fathering offspring, which also has a certain camouflage effect, it can at most deceive Cultivators of the same rank; encountering a Core Formation Stage Cultivator would make it easy to be exposed.

But this Illusion Pearl...

He couldn't wait to test it out.

With a thought from Ye Changge, the Illusion Pearl was taken out from the System space and lay quietly in his palm.

The pearl was about the size of a thumb, perfectly round, and radiated a faint seven-colored halo. It felt warm and cool to the touch, and it seemed as if clouds and mist were flowing within it, mysterious and unfathomable.

"Let's test the effect first."

Ye Changge held the Illusion Pearl, recalling the appearance of an ordinary shop assistant he had seen in the shop just now.

He did not absorb the other person's aura; he simply wanted to test the pearl's basic transformation function.

He injected spiritual power.

The Illusion Pearl trembled slightly, and a layer of seven-colored light emanated from the pearl, instantly enveloping Ye Changge's entire body.

As the light flowed, his facial features began to change—his eyebrows became sparser, the bridge of his nose became a bit lower, and his chin became rounder.

A moment later, the light dissipated.

Ye Changge looked down at his hands, then raised his hand to touch his face.

With a thought, a Water Mirror Technique condensed in front of him.

The mirror reflected a strange face—plain and unremarkable, the kind that would definitely not be found if thrown into a crowd; it was exactly the appearance of that shop assistant just now.

"Not bad."

Ye Changge nodded with satisfaction.

He then tried to adjust the aura.

With another thought, the spiritual power fluctuation in his body slowly converged, and the pressure of the Foundation Establishment Second Layer actually dropped to the Qi Refining Third Layer within just a few breaths.

Ye Changge looked at himself in the water mirror, a flash of shock in his eyes.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even he would have almost believed that this young man in the mirror, with weak aura and ordinary looks, was really just a low-level Loose Cultivator who had just stepped onto the path of cultivation.

"With my current Divine Sense strength at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, I actually can't see any abnormalities..."

Ye Changge murmured to himself, the surprise in his heart growing even stronger.

His current Divine Sense strength, thanks to his perfect Dao Foundation and the tempering of multiple Cultivation Techniques, had long since far exceeded that of Cultivators of the same rank, and was even on par with some in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Even he couldn't see any flaws...

"Not bad, not bad."

A sincere smile appeared on Ye Changge's face.

He has too many secrets now—the System, the Fourth-Rank True Spirit Willow Tree, the Qianyuan Creation Gold...

Any one of these things, if exposed, would be enough to invite a fatal disaster.

With this Illusion Pearl, he would have a bit more confidence when walking in the Cultivation World in the future.

He put away the water mirror and carefully stored the Illusion Pearl in the System space.

...

Three days later.

Qingxuan Immortal City, Tingfeng Pavilion.

Ye Changge and Xiao Caiyue held hands and pushed open that inconspicuous wooden door.

Upon reaching the second floor, the light remained dim.

The black-robed old man was still sitting behind that black square table, his deep eyes looking at the two of them, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"You've come?"

Ye Changge nodded, took out that black token from his Storage Pouch, and placed it on the table.

He then took out two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones and placed them into the hidden compartment that suddenly appeared.

The Spirit Stones were instantly sucked away by an invisible force.

The old man's withered fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and an ancient jade slip appeared out of thin air, lying quietly on the table.

"This is the intelligence you wanted."

Ye Changge picked up the jade slip, not checking it immediately, but handing it to Xiao Caiyue first.

Xiao Caiyue was slightly stunned, and then her heart felt warm.

She took the jade slip and pressed it against her brow.

Ye Changge also separated a wisp of Divine Sense and probed into it.

A vast amount of information rushed into their minds like a tide—
