Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 639 - 276: Thousand Faces Technique, Noble Family Predicament, Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts

Even Autumn Cicada, who was beside him, said with a bit of excitement:

"Master, this is a great opportunity to collect the Profound Yin Grass, with it, you can break through the first barrier of the Purple Mansion and become a Half-Step Purple Mansion Cultivator!"

It truly was a fortuitous opportunity.

But two Purple Mansion Cultivators were guarding the Five Great Families.

Although Situ Feng and the Tian Clan Leader were in the early stage of the Purple Mansion, they were still a major realm higher than him.

Fu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said:

"Autumn Cicada, let the Shadow Ghost Fiend continue to stay here and gather intelligence, we will return first."

In a while, the people of the Five Great Families would be going out for training.

They must not be encountered by them.

Otherwise,

before the Secret Realm even opens,

they would probably be besieged by the Five Great Families.

Autumn Cicada glanced at Bone Mountain in front, somewhat reluctant, but obediently followed Fu Changsheng back to Broken Dragon Valley.

Upon entering the valley,

Fu Changsheng said:

"Autumn Cicada, continue with the sacrificial refinement of the Shadow Ghost Fiend."

In this place, the more Ghost Soldiers, the better.

Upon entering the Cave Mansion,

Fu Changsheng noticed everyone else was in seclusion and swiftly returned to his own Secret Chamber.

Sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Fu Changsheng quickly sorted out the current situation.

Based on previous experience entering the Celestial Wave Secret Realm, at the time of the realm’s opening, experts from the Five Great Families should be maintaining the entrance, so their only way in would be to enter when those experts are too occupied to look around.

However,

how to avoid being discovered by the experts of the Five Great Families was a big issue.

Fortunately, there’s still a year before the Secret Realm opens.

"Phew~"

Fu Changsheng took a deep breath.

His eyes turned.

The current situation with the Five Great Families is that the old Eighth-Grade Noble Families have the upper hand. If he could persuade the Xu Family to let him replace one of their members to enter, the situation could certainly be turned around!

After all, he had the help of Autumn Cicada and many Tier Two forces.

However,

Fu Changsheng quickly dismissed this idea.

This Secret Realm is the resource of the North Huai Eighth-Grade Noble Families, if they found out that an outsider like him knew about it, they’d definitely unite against him, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they discarded him afterward.

After much thought,

the only way now is to capture a member of the Noble Family during their hunting excursion, disguise himself as them, and sneak into the family to enter the Yinluo Secret Realm amidst the chaos.

The Disguise Pill definitely wouldn’t work.

After all, Situ Feng and the Tian Clan Leader were at Purple Mansion Cultivation.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes suddenly lit up:

"Right, how could I forget this."

He slapped his storage bag.

Instantly, an exotic mask appeared in his hand.

Although he didn’t have a solution,

the Shadow Sect, an organization that’s existed for countless years, surely had a way. Originally, he planned to save up a thousand Contribution Points to exchange for the Thousand Kui Jade, but now he needed to use them in advance.

After all, the Yinluo Secret Realm contains Profound Yin Grass.

Fu Changsheng put on the mask, and his consciousness instantly entered the vast Task Hall, skillfully walking to a mirror, and quickly said:

"Exchange for a Daoist Technique or Spirit Pill Tool that can deceive the heavens, evade the Purple Mansion’s scrutiny, and disguise oneself as another."

Buzz.

The mirror trembled slightly.

Subsequently,

his original Contribution Points instantly dropped to zero.

Then,

A piece of information surged into his Sea of Divine Sense.

Fu Changsheng closed his eyes to sense it, and a moment later, his eyes twinkled:

"As expected of an assassin organization!"

The Shadow Sect had a Secret Technique called the Thousand Faces Technique; he obtained the first layer of it. This Secret Technique uses an exotic mask as a medium, and upon collecting someone’s Essence Blood and casting the Secret Technique, one can perfectly transform into that person, even a Purple Mansion Cultivator couldn’t recognize the disguise.

However,

cultivating to the Great Success Realm of the first layer,

the Secret Technique could only be maintained for an hour.

Fu Changsheng felt it somewhat regrettable.

But he had finally found a cultivation path.

Placing this path in the clan’s library, perhaps the system could deduce improvements in the future, and it might not require an exotic mask as a medium.

Just as this thought crossed his mind,

Buzz!

A familiar mechanical sound reverberated in his Sea of Divine Sense:

"Ding"

"You’ve added the ’Thousand Faces Technique’ manual to the clan’s collection, earning three hundred and eighty Clan Contribution Points."

Fu Changsheng’s eyes brightened.

He had exhausted his Contribution Points, but this reward came just in time.

Without delay, he immediately began to comprehend the Thousand Faces Technique, aiming to reach the Entry Level before the Secret Realm opens.

Time is insignificant in cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, eleven months passed by.

At this moment,

in the Secret Chamber,

Fu Changsheng’s Technique activated, muttering incantations, as his mask morphed, and various figures flashed—a mix of genders and ages.

However,

these figures vanished as quickly as they appeared.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes abruptly opened.

Meanwhile,

lines of text emerged on the panel:

"Thousand Faces Technique: First Layer (Minor Success: 5/100)"

Fu Changsheng glanced at the information above, smiling with satisfaction.

Spending eleven months, he not only advanced from having an Initial Glimpse to Minor Success, but also successfully broke through to the Minor Achievement Stage. After using the Thousand Faces Technique, he could transform into another’s appearance for half an hour.

Reaching the Minor Achievement Stage,

was beyond his expectations:

"It seems to be due to the enhanced Divine Sense."

With a stronger Divine Sense,

the speed of cultivating techniques and Secret Techniques was evidently greatly increased.

He couldn’t help but look forward to completing the Third Layer of the Great Derivation Technique.

According to the previous gathered information,

the Yinluo Secret Realm would open in a year, meaning not even a month was left. Fu Changsheng laid a technique in the Secret Chamber, and upon exiting, he noticed Molan and others were still in seclusion.

Autumn Cicada, having had the experience of two prior sacrificial refinements,
