Chapter 527: Mount Yan vs. Wei City!? Testing the Invisibility Skill! You Can See Me!!!

At Qingyun Temple, Li Yanchu sat on a bench in the courtyard, holding a towering, solemn ancient crown, deep in thought.

This was the crown he had previously retrieved from the City God Temple in Wei City. The golden crown had radiated a golden glow, then slowly emerged from beneath the temple and landed in Li Yanchu’s hands, much to his surprise.

Even after returning to the temple, his excitement hadn’t yet subsided.

“Mount Yan is Wei City?!” Li Yanchu was still a bit dazed.

Wei City was a small place, so how could a first-rank cultivator from the Great Xia era serve as the City God there? At the very least, it should have been a major city like the seat of Beifeng Prefecture.

“This matter... resolved far more easily than I expected,” Li Yanchu murmured to himself.

Originally, the golden crown in his hands had completely lost its spiritual energy, and he had stored it away.

But now, although the Golden Radiance Crown in his hands hadn’t absorbed any cultivation energy, it still exuded a subtle, mysterious aura.

Then, Li Yanchu placed the Golden Radiance Crown atop his head, and his entire form instantly vanished.

The Golden Radiance Crown could render its wearer invisible. Once he put it on, he slowly disappeared from sight.

He looked at his hands clearly, but when he approached a bronze mirror, no reflection appeared.

“Interesting.” Li Yanchu chuckled, then with a thought, left the Daoist temple and headed to the Taiping Inn.

Though the streets and the inn were bustling with people, not a single one noticed Li Yanchu walking past them. It was somewhat similar to his out-of-body experiences.

When the soul left the body, ordinary eyes could not perceive it. But without reaching the Yang Spirit realm, venturing out in broad daylight carried great danger, just as ghosts usually avoided appearing during the day.

As Li Yanchu entered the inn, his mind stirred. At that moment, Liu Jun happened to walk straight toward him.

Li Yanchu stopped in his tracks, but Liu Jun remained unaware.

Bang!

She collided directly with Li Yanchu.

“Ah!” she screamed.

Li Yanchu’s body was now comparable to the third realm, and every muscle was rock-solid. Thus, colliding with him was like running into a wall.

She clutched her head in pain, bewildered as she looked at the empty space before her.

“Could this unlucky streak have struck again?” Liu Jun’s expression changed as the thought struck her.

After all, if an ordinary person suddenly feels like they’ve walked into a wall and falls heavily, anyone would be puzzled.

Tentatively, she stretched out a hand to test it.

“How strange... what just happened?” She scratched her head, still confused, and cautiously took another step forward.

This time, however, she was careful. Fortunately, nothing happened, as Li Yanchu had already avoided her. Having just gone through countless events, he didn’t want to scare her.

The kind-hearted Daoist Master Li then approached Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran’s figure was graceful, but at the moment she was disguised as a boy, appearing only as a delicate young servant.

Li Yanchu came to her side, yet the Daoist disciple seemed completely unaware. He then extended a finger and lightly flicked her head.

Xiao Ran flinched in pain, snapping to attention, but there was no one beside her.

Her small face darkened and she yelled, “Who’s there!?”

But there was no one unusual around, and she didn’t hear any sound of movement through the air. She then pressed her fingers together, lightly brushing her eyes. Looking around the inn, she found nothing amiss.

“How strange... I clearly felt someone flick my head just now?” Xiao Ran paused.

She subtly formed a hand seal and began moving according to the Big Dipper Divine Astral Steps.

To outsiders, her movements might seem odd, but no one paid her any mind, merely assuming it was youthful playfulness.

Then, a divine aura appeared around her. In her mind, she silently declared,

Activate

!

At her mental command, a mysterious formation spread outward from her feet, instantly covering the entire Taiping Inn.

Just then, Lady Yun in the kitchen looked up curiously, and the innkeeper glancing over her accounts also cast a brief look at Xiao Ran. Yet Xiao Ran detected nothing unusual, and the formation contained no special aura detectable by her.

“Strange... what exactly just happened?” Xiao Ran frowned.

***

Through these two experiments, Li Yanchu gained a new understanding of the Golden Radiance Crown’s capabilities. At least for now, Xiao Ran, the Daoist disciple, could not sense his presence at all.

This thing is amazing. When I’m wearing the Golden Radiance Crown near someone, I’m undetectable... I’m basically unstoppable with it on!

Li Yanchu thought.

With his current formidable body and martial cultivation, if he approached another cultivator while invisible and struck unexpectedly, he could almost take them down in one decisive attack.

He then glanced at the busty innkeeper in front of him. She was lazily leaning there, flipping through her accounts while exuding a mature, captivating charm.

Li Yanchu walked over, intending to reach out and pinch her delicate cheek. The innkeeper looked especially appealing, like a ripe, luscious peach.

But suddenly, the innkeeper glanced at him, and Li Yanchu froze. His hand hung in midair, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

Then he waved his hand in front of her eyes, but the innkeeper irritably brushed it aside.

“Damn!” Li Yanchu was stunned.

He had just thought he’d obtained an incredibly powerful artifact, one that would let him take someone down with a single combo. Yet the innkeeper could actually see him!

Li Yanchu wasn’t ready to give up. Xiao Ran was a second-realm cultivator, one of the young prodigies of the Kingdom of Qian.

Even with her recently used Heaven’s Eye and the Big Dipper Formation, she couldn’t detect him. So why could the innkeeper see him?

Li Yanchu took a large step to the left, but the innkeeper’s clear, watery eyes still followed him. He then moved right, and her gaze moved along with him.

Li Yanchu was speechless; he hadn’t expected this. Unwilling to concede, he stepped forward, ready to flick her forehead.

“Still playing around? Where did you get this golden crown?” the innkeeper said sharply.

Li Yanchu had to admit defeat. So all his previous actions from the moment he entered the inn had been fully visible to her.

Suddenly, he felt a little embarrassed. This made him look kind of foolish...

“How can you see me?” He came closer and asked softly.

“Guess!” The innkeeper blinked and gave him a flirtatious wink. That one seductive glance could make a man’s bones melt!

“You really are something... I must admit,” Li Yanchu sighed.
