It was only then that Zhang Wei realized he couldn't sense An Chen's Realm through his Qi.
This situation usually only occurs when the opponent's Realm is higher than one's own.
However, Zhang Wei didn't believe that An Chen, who was still at the Qi Refining Third Level during his last Transmigration, could surpass his Realm in just two days.
Did a master conceal An Chen's Qi?
Zhang Wei frowned, carefully observing An Chen.
"I am at the Returning Void Stage."
"... ..."
Asking was pointless.
However, Zhang Wei also confirmed one thing: An Chen had connected with at least one powerful Cultivator above the Spirit Nurturing Stage.
He just didn't know who he was.
"How about this, I'll tell you what I need, and you help me solve it."
Without waiting for Zhang Wei's agreement, An Chen began to speak on his own.
"I need an identity as a villager outside Qingfeng City, with an older brother, and a bedridden mother..."
An Chen briefly described his requests, which made Zhang Wei's eyelids twitch.
"You've already thought all this out yourself?"
"Yes, the words are out, it must be arranged this way."
Zhang Wei pinched his chin, then said:
"Actually, this isn't difficult. Outside Qingfeng City, there's a small village, and outside the village, there's a hunter's family. This hunter's family consists of three people, and the child is a bit older than you but not yet married. The problem is that the mother is quite healthy... Is it enough to give her a memory of being sick for a period?"
"Enough. The problem is my identity. How can I legitimately join their family?"
Zhang Wei smiled.
"Using illusions or hypnosis to change a Mortal's memory is easy, even low-Realm Cultivator can do it."
"Will it affect them?"
"No, the only effect is that their memories are altered."
An Chen thought for a moment.
If this could truly be done, then it would be best to do it as soon as possible.
The Transmigration event has already spread throughout Kyushu, and many places in Kyushu are searching for Transcendents, even Kyushu's own Transcendents are no exception.
Many forces are systematically and strategically gathering Transcendents from both worlds.
"Next time you Transmigrate, go to that hunter's family. We'll help you use illusions to modify that family's memories."
"No."
An Chen shook his head.
"I must go to that family, but someone will definitely follow me. When I go, it should also be to verify my identity... Is there any way for me to add my existence to their memories without having to go there?"
Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow.
"Someone is following you? Is your situation not so good?"
"Hmm, I'm already at the Returning Void Stage, isn't it normal to have a few subordinates following me?"
An Chen replied calmly, so much so that Zhang Wei almost believed he was telling the truth.
Zhang Wei had systematically studied some psychology and techniques for identifying lies based on micro-expressions, but he found that An Chen's facial management was excellent, making it impossible to tell if he was lying, even with such obvious lies.
This meant that whatever he knew, Anping also knew.
Zhang Wei felt a headache coming on.
This young man is really difficult to deal with!
"I understand... You're from the Qingfeng Sect, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am the Old Ancestor of the Qingfeng Sect."
Zhang Wei automatically ignored that sentence.
Even if An Chen didn't show any flaws in his micro-expressions, Zhang Wei still firmly believed that An Chen was from the Qingfeng Sect.
They had searched everywhere near Qingfeng City, and only the Qingfeng Sect had not been searched, because the Qingfeng Sect was, after all, a Sect force with a Sect-protecting formation, and its Sect Leader was a master at the Late Stage of Soul Transformation Stage. Zhang Wei didn't have the ability to search for someone within the Qingfeng Sect.
If An Chen was still near Qingfeng City, then he could only be in the Qingfeng Sect.
Moreover, An Chen said someone would follow him, which should be someone from the Qingfeng Sect verifying his identity...
This was very reasonable.
"Whatever you say, I'll assume you're a Disciple of the Qingfeng Sect for now. You said someone would follow you, do you know what Realm that person is?"
"Perhaps... Soul Transformation Stage? It would be a bit undignified for a Returning Void Stage subordinate to bring out a Spirit Nurturing Stage one."
Zhang Wei's jaw almost dropped to the floor.
"Soul Transformation Stage?! You've provoked your Sect Leader?"
"My subordinate."
"If that's the case, then illusions and hypnosis might not work. The person behind you will definitely notice, so what we just discussed won't be useful."
Zhang Wei was only at the Spirit Nurturing Stage, and the illusions and hypnosis he could cast were only at the Spirit Nurturing Stage, unable to hide anything from a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator.
"Is there still a way?"
"Yes, find an Immortal Master to act for you."
"Immortal... Immortal Master acting?"
An Chen was a little surprised.
"This isn't difficult. Do you know how many Transcendents there are in Qingfeng City now? Three digits! Several hundred! Two-thirds of them have already been gathered by us and arranged in various places inside and outside the city. We've arranged their identities and jobs for them... It's not difficult to find a few suitable people to create a family."
"Temporarily placing a family in the village would arouse suspicion, wouldn't it?"
"A hunter's identity is very good, independent of the village. Most people wouldn't think to ask the villagers. We'll create a family for you then. There are actually a few people here who perfectly match your description. Wang Zhaoyang from your school would be very suitable to be your brother..."
"No!"
An Chen flatly refused.
It wasn't out of concern for awkwardness, but because he didn't want any familiar people to see him, as that would expose his Transcendent identity on Earth to people other than Kunpeng.
"Just kidding, we'll consider all your concerns and arrange everything. Tomorrow, I'll tell you our specific location on your phone. We can arrange all of this within three days of your Transmigration back."
"Okay."
Zhang Wei felt a wave of exhaustion.
When others knew Kunpeng was going to help them, they were all extremely grateful, but with An Chen, they became the Party B, and even had to serve An Chen, their Party A's father dad?
"Since that's the case, add me as a friend, and tell me your tongshen jade talisman number! I'm not adding you as a friend for my sake, I'm doing this to help you!"
So that's what he was waiting for!
An Chen's face immediately fell.
However, he had no way to refuse, because what Kunpeng was trying to solve now was indeed his biggest problem, and almost his only weakness.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be begging Zhang Wei to help them.
But An Chen really didn't want to have too much contact with Kunpeng's people. He always felt that the more contact he had, the more information these people would dig out of him, and even though they were official personnel, An Chen didn't fully trust them.
"Okay."
An Chen ultimately chose to compromise, silently reciting a string of numbers, which was his tongshen jade talisman number.
