The Eternal Farmer: I Trade My Harvest for Immortality

Chapter 270: Is This What It Feels Like to Have a Disguise?

Spirit Weapon: Phantom

Grade: High-grade

Spirit Patterns (5): Thousand Faces Illusion Pattern, Aura Hiding Skin Fusion Pattern, Voice Illusion Change Pattern, Light Hiding Confusing Pupil Pattern, Memory Confusion Pattern

Effect: Fuses seamlessly with the skin, leaving no trace.

Though five basic patterns were added, the overall effect didn’t change much.

Jiang Chen held the Phantom mask and slowly covered his face. His entire appearance instantly changed, as if he had become another person. He cleared his throat a few times, then lowered his voice: “My name is Zhu Rong, Fire Spirit Root, skilled in controlling fire crows, jie jie jie jie…”

At this moment, he suddenly understood that obscure alchemist Nether Spring—why did he like wearing a black cloak, looking so mysterious?

Hiding one’s true self and becoming another person felt incredibly exhilarating.

After tidying up the alchemy Chamber, Jiang Chen walked out of the basement, quickly returned to the surface, and soon arrived at the stone house’s door.

At first, Da Huang thought his master had come out, wearing a flattering smile.

Upon seeing a stranger’s face, he was stunned for a moment, then rushed out from his doghouse, barking loudly with fierce eyes: “Woof woof woof!”

He wanted to alert his master, but there was no movement from inside the house.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly: “After wearing the Phantom mask, although there isn’t much change in clothing, height, or physique, the appearance and aura are completely opposite.”

Even Da Huang, who had lived with him for years, couldn’t recognize him.

One could imagine how astonishing the effect was.

Instantly, blazing flames ignited in his eyes, and his aura became exceptionally powerful.

At the same time, a scorching heat centered on himself swept outward.

Wherever it passed, weeds and insects instantly ignited, burning to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Da Huang, who had been barking a second ago, tucked his tail and turned to run the next second.

As for the pearl chickens in the chicken coop, they huddled together even more tightly.

The Light Spirit Turtle, floating on the water enjoying itself, suddenly felt the surging scorching heat and immediately retracted its head and limbs into its shell.

All living creatures around were like “startled birds.”

Seeing this, Jiang Chen curled the corner of his mouth, then activated the Fire Crow Nurturing Qi Method. The five fire crows in the bedroom received the command and immediately flew out, circling around him.

Although the person below looked different from his master, the command was correct, so they didn’t resist.

A piercing sound.

Paired with a dangerous aura.

The entire spirit farm fell into dead silence in an instant, with not a single movement.

Jiang Chen issued a command, and the five fire crows quickly landed.

Then, both the person and the fire crows transformed into a burning streak of fire and shot into the distance.

After putting enough distance, he stopped, then executed the Scorching Sun Finger, rapidly flicking all ten fingers to shoot out streams of yellow fire lines.

The ground, trees, flowers, and plants all melted upon contact, creating a devastating scene.

Jiang Chen, feeling himself at full power, felt utterly comfortable and couldn’t help but say: “Is this what it feels like to have a disguise?

As the Wood Spirit Root self, he was timid and cautious.

As the Fire Spirit Root self, he struck with heavy fists.

Five days passed in a flash.

Jiang Chen arrived a few days early, riding a giant flying sword to the loose cultivator market in Green City.

Since he had plenty of time, he wasn’t in a hurry to trade with Shen Peng.

First, he found an inn and rented a single Chamber.

Because he planned to stay for a relatively long time this time, he booked it for several more days.

After disguising himself as a loose cultivator, he went to the residential area next to the Fragrance Pavilion.

Xiao Taohong’s old flame was out of danger. Although the Yellow Evil Sickness wasn’t completely cured, the Earth Sha gathered on his body had weakened significantly.

He was no longer lying in bed, motionless like a stone.

Daily life and activities were no problem.

Knock knock knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Wu Mang slowly moved to the door and opened it.

Outside stood a stranger’s face.

He looked ordinary, with nothing particularly memorable.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down: “Looks like you’re recovering well.”

Wu Mang was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly: “You… you’re the divine doctor who treated my illness, right?”

Wu Mang cupped his hands and bowed: “Thank you for saving me!”

Although he guessed the other must have some ulterior motive, no matter what, he had saved his life.

One could even say it wasn’t just him who was saved, but also the unfortunate Xiao Taohong.

Otherwise, the two would have no future, with a dark road ahead.

Jiang Chen waved his hand: “No need for more words of gratitude. I just want to know what exactly is going on inside Huang Yuanhua’s cave dwelling?”

As a firsthand witness, he knew more than Xiao Taohong, and in greater detail.

From going to Huang Yuanhua’s cave dwelling, then being captured by the Golden Core expert waiting inside, with everyone becoming pawns for exploration, to the Earth Sha Qi leak, where many, many people died—he explained everything clearly.

The situation at the time sounded extremely perilous.

That Golden Core expert, along with the deceitful couple, had no resistance against the leaked Earth Sha Qi.

After listening, Jiang Chen felt Wu Mang was incredibly lucky.

In that situation, taking one wrong step would have meant death and destruction.

Now, although he survived, his physical condition was still not optimistic.

Wu Mang asked solemnly: “Fellow Daoist, what else do you want to know?”

Wu Mang said in surprise: “Isn’t Huang Yuanhua’s cave dwelling no longer dangerous? Anyone can go in and explore now.”

Jiang Chen smiled meaningfully: “Who knows?”

Wu Mang was taken aback, then nodded vigorously: “Alright, I’ll draw it for you, but it’s just a rough sketch. The situation was critical at the time, and I didn’t have time to explore carefully.”

But when Wu Mang finished drawing, Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched.

Wow, this was just a rough sketch.

Saying it was rough, it really was just rough!

What was the situation on the left.

What was happening on the right.

The area where Earth Qi erupted deep inside.

That was about it, and the overall look was very sloppy.

Wu Mang said regretfully: “Unfortunately, my body can’t move freely yet, otherwise I would definitely go with you.”

Jiang Chen said lightly: “It’s not too late to go after you recover.”

“Alright, you rest up, I’m leaving.” Jiang Chen turned and left.

Wu Mang watched the departing figure and showed an extremely unwilling expression: “Damn it, missed another chance to turn things around.”

On the way, Jiang Chen used his Spirit Sense to imprint the entire map, confirmed it was correct, then burned it to ashes with a wisp of fire Qi.

Back in the inn Chamber, he quickly removed his loose cultivator disguise, then took out the “Phantom” mask from the Jade Green Gourd and covered his face.

Instantly, the loose cultivator Han Fei disappeared.

In his place was the fire cultivator named Zhu Rong!
