Chapter 107 Colluding with each other
In the real world, Jiang Chen would definitely try every means to get rid of this guy.
However, this is while in a dream state. Dying will only end this dream simulation, and there is no risk involved.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately asked, "Senior, please tell me your plans."
Seeing that he was willing to cooperate, the ghost smiled slightly: "It's fine, as long as you can let my soul out and find me a human cultivator to possess."
"The entire Yunze Blessed Land, and all the legacies I remember, can be entrusted to you."
"My Creation Sect is the number one power in the cultivation world of Manglin Continent, and I am a direct disciple of the Creation Sect. I cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm before my death."
This position of garrison commander is a solid mid-level position within the Creation Sect.
"All the inheritances I have in my memory could completely support a Nascent Soul stage power."
His words were extremely attractive to any cultivator, and Jiang Chen was also tempted.
However, with the powerful weapon of the Dream Butterfly Diagram, Jiang Chen could slowly drain his inheritance.
"Senior, you may not know this, but the entrance to Yunze Blessed Land has been exposed and discovered by a nearby sect. And I am a disciple of this sect."
"Several hundred people came to explore Yunze Blessed Land this time. I was just a scout and was the first to arrive here."
There are several extremely powerful Core Formation Peak cultivators guarding outside. Where am I supposed to find a physical body for you?
Upon hearing this, the ghost was stunned.
Clearly, he had no confidence in defeating several Core Formation cultivators.
"How come your cultivation lineage is so chaotic, given that you are a cultivator from a sect? I thought you were a rogue cultivator who stumbled into this place by accident."
"In that case, I can't hand over the token and seal to you. Relying on the formations and puppets here, I might not lose if I fight against the experts outside."
Seeing his stubborn and unyielding attitude, Jiang Chen knew that it was completely hopeless to get him to hand over control of the seal.
"I'll test whether your soul, trapped here, can still control the garrison commander's seal and token."
At worst, I'll take the token out and hand it over to an elder in the sect.
"I refuse to believe that your remnant soul, now a spirit of an artifact, possesses a stronger spiritual consciousness than a peak Core Formation cultivator."
Jiang Chen did not intend to directly control the token and seal, but he did not need to control the token to enter Shennong Garden.
Simply showing the token is enough to get the puppet to let you pass.
After obtaining some precious spiritual herbs from Shennong Garden, you can leave with the token and seal, and ask Master Tiejian to remove the divine soul imprint on them.
At that time, all the credit for conquering Yunze Blessed Land will be mine.
Of course, it's also possible to leave directly with the seal and token without entering Shennong Garden to obtain the spiritual herbs.
However, without the elixir as evidence, some people will try every means to erase their own achievements.
If possible, Jiang Chen also wanted to secretly hide some spiritual herbs.
Seeing that Jiang Chen had found a better way, the ghost no longer dared to act arrogantly.
"Young friend, I still have a use for you. We can cooperate."
My magic weapon, the Creation Divine Essence Cauldron, can be hidden deep within the sea of consciousness; even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot sense it.
"Although my precious cauldron is not a spatial artifact, the space within the cauldron itself can still hold quite a few things."
For example, the medicinal herbs used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the treasures I've collected.
Most spiritual objects cannot be directly absorbed into the body; only a few special treasures can be stored in the three dantian.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately became interested.
"While handing over the seal and token was a great achievement, it also made me stand out in front of the loyalists."
Next, they will inevitably face suppression from the loyalist faction.
Master Yuanfu is too soft-hearted and looks down on my talent, so he would never do his best to protect me.
Even then, I might still not obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"But if I cooperate with this ghost, I can secretly hoard a batch of Foundation Establishment Pill ingredients and then refine the pills myself; that would be a sure thing."
"Although there's a possibility of being possessed by a ghost, we're currently simulating the future in a dream; what's a little risk?"
Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is a strategic resource, its value is even much higher than most Grade 3 pills.
However, the Foundation Establishment Pill is used by Qi Refining cultivators and can only be considered a first-grade pill. Its refining difficulty is only at the level of a second-grade initial-stage pill.
With Jiang Chen's level of spiritual awareness, he could easily refine it himself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately said, "Although I know you want to use the power of that jade cauldron to break through the suppression of my treasure map and then possess my body."
But if the potential profits are big enough, I'm still willing to give it a try; we're practically in cahoots now.
"Tell me, how can I bring that jade cauldron in?"
The ghost finally smiled: "No problem, you just need to pick up that jade cauldron and place it between your eyebrows."
Jiang Chen's consciousness returned to his physical body, and he did as instructed.
The jade cauldron instantly transformed into a stream of light and entered his sea of consciousness.
Within the sea of consciousness, the Yin spirit obtained the jade cauldron and quickly crawled inside.
Then, he let out a long sigh: "Kid, you're still too young. You don't know that if the spirit of the artifact is separated from the artifact itself for too long, its strength will continuously decline."
This image is too overwhelming; it will crush me in a few days.
But I am now protected by this precious cauldron. Unless you can break this jade cauldron in your sea of consciousness, you cannot harm me in the slightest.
Jiang Chen didn't take it to heart; on the contrary, he was secretly delighted.
"Tell me your weaknesses willingly, and next time you appear in my dream, see how I deal with you."
Seeing that even after obtaining the jade cauldron, the Yin spirit was unable to break free from the suppression of the Dream Butterfly Diagram, Jiang Chen felt relieved.
He picked up the token on the table. This token was exactly the same size and pattern as Luo Yuanlong's token, except that this token was gold.
On the back of the token, a line of small characters is engraved: "[Zhang Yaoling, Guardian of Yunze Blessed Land, Golden Scale Hall, Creation Sect]".
He looked at the golden seal again, and it was indeed the seal of the garrison commander.
However, Jiang Chen did not rush to the herb garden. Instead, he picked up a scroll and began to read it.
Upon reading the contents of the letter, he immediately burst into laughter.
There was an unexpected bonus: the text on these bamboo slips was actually engraved, and it's still perfectly preserved.
He kept flipping through these letters and writing down their contents.
The contents recorded in this book are not exactly any precious heritage.
Among them are orders issued by the Golden Scale Hall of the Creation Sect, such as records of allocating manpower and transferring spiritual herbs and beasts.
There were also orders signed by Zhang Yaoling, as well as warehouse ledgers and other items.
Through these letters, Jiang Chen gained some understanding of the fate of the Creation Sect when it was destroyed.
After reading the jade slip, Jiang Chen became interested in Zhang Yaoling's family fortune.
"Senior Zhang, you are a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator and the guardian of this Cloud Marsh Blessed Land. You must be quite wealthy, right?"
"Anyway, you're going to leave here with me, so there's no point in leaving your wealth here."
"How about I help you take your things out?"
Zhang Yaoling didn't try to hide anything: "My treasures are all in the backyard."
Following Zhang Yaoling's guidance, Jiang Chen successfully found a white jade pendant.
According to Zhang Yaoling, this jade pendant is a high-grade storage magic artifact.
The interior space is ten zhang in diameter, and its weight remains unchanged no matter how much is put inside.
Moreover, this jade pendant can be directly stored in the jade cauldron.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yaoling's soul imprint was still on the jade pendant, so Jiang Chen was unable to probe its contents.
