Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

Chapter 684 Lies

Henry Zhang scratched his head: "So, I still have to be the captain?"

"Yes, you must." Hanekawa said firmly.

"I'm not familiar with sea conditions, and I've never been a captain... By the way, Taoist Master Hanekawa has been in the sea day and night. Have you ever been a captain before?"

"More than a hundred years ago, I was always the captain. Unfortunately, all my crew members perished in the sea, and I was the only one left alive."

Henry Zhang glanced at a few people and said:

“The only way to improve everyone’s trust is to be open and honest, do you think that’s right?”

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

"Okay, in that case, I will exercise my first order as the captain. Everyone answers two questions. One is to tell a lie he told before, and the other is for everyone to tell the true purpose of their trip."

After hearing what Henry Zhang said, everyone looked at each other in shock.

Just now Hanekawa was just raising a big flag, but he didn't expect the other party to get into the role so quickly.

There was an awkward silence.

"Let me tell you first..."

Everyone looked and saw that the person speaking was none other than Hong Yi.

"The lie I told is that Qingyi is not my incarnation."

"How is that possible?" Hanekawa was shocked, "Qingyi looks exactly the same as you, and the way he speaks is carved from the same mold, as well as the aura on his body, and the magical powers that connect the heaven and the earth..."

"Qing Yi is the real master, and I am her incarnation."

Everyone was shocked after hearing what Hong Yi said.

"You...you are an incarnation...how could you have such a perfect incarnation?"

Everyone has refined their external incarnations in underground prisons.

The incarnation outside the body has no spiritual intelligence, and the magical power of connecting with the rules and principles is not perfect.

The red clothes in front of me are nothing like the incarnation outside.

"Fifty years ago, Qing Yi, the oiran of Lefang, obtained the secret method of incarnation outside the body, refined me, and continued to train me to become more and more like her. As a substitute, I helped her deal with many things."

"Later, Qing Yi discovered that I had developed my own spiritual intelligence, and my cultivation level was still slightly superior to hers, so she planned to imprison me in an underground prison."

"I...I have always regarded her as my lord and the most important person. I never thought she would betray me..."

When Hongyi said this, a tear leaked out of the corner of his eye.

Henry Zhang was also a little embarrassed.

Qing Yi must be afraid that Hong Yi will become more powerful and worry about one day replacing him, so he strikes first.

However, from the perspective of personal interests.

No one cares whether Hong Yi is the original owner or an incarnation.

The original owner has been killed, is this still meaningful?

Even if everyone originally knew that Hong Yi was an incarnation, Qing Yi still had to kill him.

Who allows everyone to have common purposes and interests?

"As for the real purpose of my trip... my biggest purpose is to kill Qing Yi. Now except for Qing Yi, I don't know what I will do next. If I must say the purpose, it is to get ashore alive."

After Hongyi finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while.

Henry Zhang coughed twice and said: "Then let me tell you about myself. The lie I told everyone is that everyone used to collect things in exchange for spiritual stones, but I hacked them..."

"Including Senior Xu's great elixir energy, Senior Xue's semi-finished spiritual treasure, Senior Mo Yuan's Wugen Red Spirit Tea, etc..."

Henry Zhang looked up and saw that everyone's expressions were not right, and hurriedly added: "Although I have darkened the things, the spirit stones were paid for by me, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get the materials for the incarnation so easily..."

Xu Anming asked doubtfully: "That's the material for 1 million high-grade spiritual stones. Where did you get so many spiritual stones?"

"I am a good spiritual chef, and I earned a lot of spiritual stones by using the fairy pot... Of course, I was later convicted of this and was punished as a mine slave."

Hanekawa nodded and said: "Since you paid for the 1 million high-grade spirit stones yourself, it is equivalent to you buying those things, which is harmless."

Henry Zhang continued: "As for my purpose, of course it is to get the Heart of the Witch Ancestor and return to the Fairy Cat Valley safely."

After Henry Zhang finished speaking, everyone was silent again.

Everyone, you look at me and I look at you.

They are all waiting for others to say it first.

"Our captain and first mate just made a good start for everyone. Since we are comrades on the same ship, we might as well speak freely."

As Hanekawa spoke, he cast his eyes on Xu Anming.

Xu Anming's face suddenly trembled, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, like a gleam on his back, or a lump in his throat.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, tell me." Hanekawa said with narrowed eyes.

Xu Anming still sighed and said: "Sooner or later, I can't hide it anymore. The biggest lie I told was that I was a fourth-level mid-level alchemist."

"Are you a fifth-level alchemist?" Xue Zhihao was shocked, like a mouse whose tail was stepped on.

Xu Anming glanced at him, shook his head and said, "No."

"Then you are a fourth-level high-grade alchemist?"

"no."

"Fourth level low-grade?"

"no."

"A third-level alchemist...can't do that, right?"

"I am a third-level low-grade alchemist."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Xue Zhihao was the first to stand up and said: "Impossible. If you are only a third-level low-grade alchemist, how can you become an alchemist?"

"Ancestor Yu Yin, during the assessment, my father, who was the previous alchemy master, prepared the fourth-level elixir in advance and said that I refined it..."

"It's easy to hide for a while, but it's hard to hide for a lifetime. As far as I know, after your father passed away, you also refined a lot of fourth-level pills."

Xu Anming's old face turned red and said, "Those were all refined by my apprentices..."

Everyone was speechless.

Even his apprentices could refine fourth-level pills, but this famous alchemist couldn't refine fourth-level pills.

"Then you killed those apprentices not because you were obsessed and wanted to break through to the fifth-level alchemist?"

It has been rumored that Xu Anming killed those fourth-level alchemists in order to obtain the alchemy method to upgrade to the fifth-level alchemist.

He was imprisoned after the truth was revealed.

Many people felt sorry for this alchemist.

I didn't expect there was another hidden story.

Xu Anming's old face turned even redder.

"The reason I killed those people was because they discovered my secret."

"The secret of your inability to refine fourth-level pills?"

"Yes." Xu Anming nodded.

"No, you did take out a bottle of fourth-level elixir during the battle just now..."

"That was when I went back to my old nest to take out the fourth-level elixir before I went to prison, and this bottle is the only one left."

"Ah..."

Everyone sighed.

This is indeed a melodrama.
