The conversation was between a young man and woman, who were discussing some kind of trial.
So he concentrated and listened carefully.
He soon learned that in a month, the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Clan would hold a trial for their Foundation Establishment Stage juniors, and the location was the Blackwater Swamp.
"Could it be the Blackwater Swamp with the Bone-Rotting Soul-Devouring Flowers?"
Lu Xin stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and quickly disappeared from the spot, as he wanted to gather more information.
This included information about the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Clan, in addition to the details of the Blackwater Swamp trial.
A day later.
After Lu Xin's careful investigation and search, he quickly confirmed that the Blackwater Swamp trial location was indeed where the Bone-Rotting Soul-Devouring Flowers were located.
He just didn't know if they still existed, or if they had been taken away by the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Clan.
However, since he was already here, he planned to sneak in and take a look.
In any case, he had the [Divine Concealment] passive ability, and no one could detect his presence if he wanted to hide.
Next was information about the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Clan.
After all, he needed to understand this if he wanted to sneak in.
According to what he had gathered, the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Clan had four main branches, which meant they had four major surnames: Bai, Tushan, Yousu, and Chunhu.
Each branch had a Holy Son or Holy Daughter.
Tushan Danyue, whom he had encountered before, was the Holy Daughter of the Tushan branch.
She was also the youngest, most talented, and most outstanding in cultivation among the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Clan's four branches.
She was hailed as a peerless genius who only appeared once every tens of thousands of years in the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Clan.
If anyone in the entire demon race was most likely to become the next Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert, it would be her.
She was the center of attention and highly anticipated.
However, it was rumored that she had been greatly affected after her travels and had locked herself in her cave since returning.
She had been in seclusion ever since.
Lu Xin filtered out all this useless information and mainly focused his attention on the four surnames of the Sky Fox Clan.
He was thinking about how to disguise himself.
After all, this trial was an internal trial of the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Clan, and they would definitely verify the participants' information.
So, simply fabricating an identity to fool them would definitely not work.
He could only capture someone and impersonate them to ensure everything went smoothly.
Fortunately, there was still time, so he could slowly look for a target.
A few days later, he found a target: a young man in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment Stage named Yousu Changyu.
After his many trials and inquiries.
This man had a tragic life, with his parents dying early, and no direct relatives in the world besides his clansmen.
This had caused him to be withdrawn, resulting in very few friends.
This kind of background was perfect for him to disguise himself as.
So, he was targeted.
Yousu Changyu had come out this time, obviously to prepare supplies and equipment for entering the secret realm, and Lu Xin had been following him closely.
It wasn't until dusk that he left the city towards the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Clan.
Lu Xin knew his chance had come and followed him out.
After following him for more than three hundred miles outside the city, he decided not to wait any longer. Taking advantage of the absence of other creatures, he reached out and grabbed Yousu Changyu, then knocked him unconscious and took him away.
Arriving at a remote and hidden place, Lu Xin opened up a cave.
After setting up a formation, he pointed a finger at Yousu Changyu's brow, intending to search his soul.
But after thinking about it, he withdrew his finger.
The other party's life was already pitiful, and he hadn't provoked him either.
If he used this finger, the other party would either die or become an idiot.
Wouldn't that be unnecessarily increasing his sins?
So, he hesitated.
Thinking about it, there was a way to achieve both goals, so he took out the Beauty Painting.
"Master.", the Painting Servant emerged.
Lu Xin pointed to Yousu Changyu on the ground, "I want all his information."
The Painting Servant nodded, "Okay."
Then the painting opened, and a scene appeared on it.
In the scene, Yousu Changyu slowly woke up in a cave, scratching his head, looking dazed.
Then he seemed to remember something, a look of horror on his face, and he fled out of the cave without looking back.
He flew on his magical artifact for about three days, took out a token, successfully passed through the great formation, and returned to his residence.
Then he went into closed-door cultivation.
Until he went to participate in the Blackwater Swamp trial.
Then the picture began to tremble, and then returned to normal.
At this time, the Painting Servant said:
"Master, the illusion I create is transformed from the thoughts in the living being's heart. The content after that is not guaranteed to be true, because he has not participated in that trial, and these are all his imaginations."
Lu Xin understood and thought to himself that even so, this Beauty Painting was still a magical artifact.
Don't look at how long the time has passed in the illusion, in reality, it has only been less than half an incense stick.
So, the illusion created by the Beauty Painting is still very deceptive.
Even the illusion of time can be created.
"You did a good job, that's enough."
Lu Xin put the painting back into his hand.
The Painting Servant coquettishly said: "Master, can you let me out more often in the future to get some air? Actually, I can..."
"Hmm?"
Lu Xin frowned, then smiled and said, "Do you think I don't know? Okay, don't waste my time, go in quickly."
"Yes.", the Painting Servant pouted and drilled into the painting.
Lu Xin closed the painting and stroked it lightly, feeling that this Painting Servant was not that simple.
But now he was too lazy to think about it and planned to ask Xu Shenmeng after he met her, after all, this Beauty Painting was obtained in her Seven Illusion Demon Fish Clan ruins.
Putting away the painting.
Lu Xin turned his gaze to Yousu Changyu, who was still unconscious. He didn't want to kill him, but he had to ensure that the other party wouldn't wake up during the time he entered the trial.
So, he directly picked him up, cast the Earth Escape Technique, and dived more than ten thousand miles underground, where he opened up a space.
Then, with the assistance of the array plate, he laid out hundreds of first-order to fourth-order formations in one breath.
He trapped him inside, to ensure that even if he woke up, he would not be able to get out.
Then he still felt it wasn't safe enough.
He also cast a Soul Sealing Technique that he had just learned, to ensure that he would not wake up, and also sealed his cultivation, and tied his limbs with rope magic weapons.
However, he was afraid that his body would lose energy and die, so he stuffed a few Qi Replenishing Pills into his mouth.
He used his power to dissolve them into his stomach.
This could ensure that he wouldn't need to eat for more than half a year.
After doing all this, Lu Xin was slightly relieved.
Then he began to disguise himself according to his appearance and figure.
Having learned body refining techniques, changing his body shape was an easy task.
He quickly completed the disguise, put on his clothes, and when he looked in the mirror, he was exactly the same.
"I'll compensate you when I get back."
After leaving a sentence, Lu Xin disappeared underground and returned to the surface.
After confirming the direction, he appeared near the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Clan in just one breath.
Then he took out the magical artifact used by Yousu Changyu and controlled it towards the formation entrance.
Without encountering any difficulties, he smoothly passed through the formation with the token and arrived at Yousu Changyu's residence.
This was still the outer area of the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Clan, and the strongest person he encountered was only at the Golden Core stage.
However, to be on the safe side, he decided to imitate Yousu Changyu's actions in the illusion and stay in seclusion before entering the trial.
