Magician Reconstruction Plan

"Special ability?"

Looking at Qiao Qing's information panel, Lin Tian was somewhat surprised.

Even Martial Saint Fancang did not have a special ability section.

"Hide and alter one's appearance, aura, cultivation, and memories... that's a bit absurd."

"Isn't this the ideal candidate for infiltration?"

As for the remarks section, Lin Tian knew that it was a guarantee given to him by the system.

"Changing one's appearance, aura, and cultivation without being detected... I really did encounter someone like that."

Lin Tian suddenly thought of the deceased Magician.

Back then, the Magician had relied on a similar ability to enter the college entrance examination venue.

Even the testing platform that detected vitality had failed to discover anything unusual about the Magician, showing just how terrifying that ability was.

And now, Qiao Qing possessed a similar ability, with the additional power to alter memories.

He could even prevent others from forcibly peering into his memories.

Blue Star's spiritual energy had revived for three thousand years; people or special treasures like this were hardly strange.

"System, summon Qiao Qing to the Small World."

Lin Tian instructed the system. Very soon, a Space Tunnel appeared before him, and a delicate-looking young man stepped out from it.

"Qiao Qing pays his respects to the Heavenly Lord!"

The moment Qiao Qing saw Lin Tian, he respectfully bowed.

"Qiao Qing, rise."

Lin Tian spoke indifferently, then asked,

"Qiao Qing, is this your original appearance?"

"Replying to the Heavenly Lord, this is Qiao Qing's original appearance. On my first audience with the Heavenly Lord, Qiao Qing would not dare show the slightest disrespect!"

Qiao Qing said fearfully.

"Transform into him and let me see."

"His cultivation is Martial Dao Second Layer Early-stage."

Seeing this, Lin Tian showed Qiao Qing a photo of Jiang Cheng on his phone.

He wanted to see just how capable Qiao Qing's special ability truly was.

"Please wait a moment, Heavenly Lord."

Then, under Lin Tian's watchful gaze, Qiao Qing began changing his appearance.

Unlike the Magician's method of transformation, Qiao Qing visibly altered his physical form before the naked eye.

Even the bones within his body shifted position along with his changing form.

In only a few seconds, the refined-looking Qiao Qing had become the rugged Jiang Cheng.

From what Martial Saint Fancang had told him, Lin Tian already knew that Qiao Qing's aura had become that of a Martial Dao Second Layer Early-stage cultivator.

"Even Martial Saint experts can't see through it. Naturally, instruments that test vitality won't be able to detect anything either."

"It really works."

Lin Tian felt a little excited. A plan suddenly surfaced in his mind.

He then told Qiao Qing everything related to the Tarot Society and the Magician.

"Qiao Qing, your mission is to become the Tarot Society's new Magician."

This was the mission Lin Tian assigned Qiao Qing. The Tarot Society's Magician had been killed by Martial Saint Fancang, so that position should now be vacant.

However, the Tarot Society certainly had candidates within its ranks.

As for where those candidates came from, the Tarot Society could only have unearthed them from all across Blue Star.

Rather than personally training suitable talent, it was better to gather the most fitting people directly from vast Blue Star.

Qiao Qing could use his abilities to stir up some unrest within Dragon Nation's borders, perhaps drawing the Tarot Society's attention.

This was also the only possible way to come into contact with the Tarot Society.

Lin Tian sighed softly to himself.

His cultivation was too low. Even if he asked Martial Saint Yuanming, he would not obtain any further information about the Tarot Society.

The Tarot Society's recruitment was one of its core secrets. They had to ensure that every person who entered the Tarot Society was controllable, someone loyal only to the Tarot Society.

At a time like this, Qiao Qing's ability to alter memories would prove useful.

Afterward, Martial Saint Fancang gave Qiao Qing one of his trump cards to guard against unforeseen events.

This trump card could withstand the attacks of experts above the fifth layer of the Saint Realm for ten seconds.

Ten seconds were enough for Qiao Qing to return to the Small World through a Space Tunnel.

"Qiao Qing, go."

"Yes, Heavenly Lord!"

Watching Qiao Qing leave the Small World, Lin Tian hoped his plan would succeed.

"The previous Magician of the Tarot Society was already Martial Dao Seventh Level. Since he could become the Magician, Qiao Qing, who possesses similar abilities, shouldn't have much trouble."

"If the Magician Reconstruction Plan succeeds, I'll be able to grasp part of the Tarot Society's core secrets."

Everything was merely a projection for now. The key was whether Qiao Qing could successfully enter the Tarot Society and become the Magician.

After arranging everything, Lin Tian checked his current strength.

-- Host Personal Information --

"Name: Lin Tian."

"Title: None."

"Cultivation: Martial Dao Second Layer Mid-stage (Vitality: 700, Spirit: 10)."

"Cultivation Technique: 'Heavenly Origin Technique.'"

"Martial Skills: 'Blood Devouring Armor,' 'Savage Fist,' 'Breaking Void Spear' (Beginner)."

"Abilities: Wind, Lightning."

"There's now an ability section on the information panel, and the Breaking Void Spear has also reached the beginner level. Not bad."

"My Vitality Value has already reached seven hundred points. Before school starts, I can reach over eight hundred points and become a Martial Dao Second Layer Late-stage martial artist."

Magic City University started classes very early, beginning one month after the college entrance examination.

And during that month, he had wasted several days because of his injuries and his trip to Magic City.

"The beginner-level Breaking Void Spear is merely usable. If I encounter someone who has Mastered martial skills, it will become a burden instead. I still need to raise it to the proficient level."

"Improving my spiritual power remains a priority. Once my spiritual power becomes strong enough, my lightning ability may even unleash the power of the Martial Dao Fourth Layer, or even the fifth layer."

"Improving my spiritual power and control over my abilities is currently the fastest way to increase my strength."

"After enrollment, it will be difficult to set aside large blocks of time to practice martial skills. Vitality, on the other hand, can be cultivated anytime and anywhere, and check-ins can improve it too."

"Next month, I'll become Martial Dao Third Level no matter what. I'll focus first on the Breaking Void Spear and control over my abilities."

Early the next morning, Lin Tian was summoned by Martial Saint Yuanming.

"You brat, you've been cultivating nonstop lately. That really doesn't suit your personality."

Martial Saint Yuanming was somewhat surprised.

"Only strength can make me feel secure."

Lin Tian replied calmly.

"I'm not going to force you to Imperial Capital, so what are you worried about?"

"This is the Nangong Family. Experts gather here like clouds, and with me, there are two Martial Saints. You needn't worry about your safety."

"Once you enter Magic City University, you'll be even safer. There are quite a few Martial King experts and Extraordinary Realm cultivators there, and Magic City University always has a Martial Saint stationed there."

Martial Saint Yuanming said with a smile.

"Enough. Why did you call me here? If there's nothing else, I'm going back to cultivate."

Lin Tian said impatiently. He had only just gained some control over his abilities and was planning to study them further.

"What for? Haven't you always been curious about the Magic City Auction? I called you here naturally to take you to the auction."

"Now?"

Lin Tian was somewhat puzzled.

"Yes. This is the large-scale auction held once a year in Magic City. There are many auction items, and some will be displayed in the main hall and sold directly at fixed prices."

"If you want any particular treasure, just call over an attendant and buy it."

"The real auction will be held tomorrow. Those are all rare resources that you have no use for. Today's exhibition in the main hall is what suits you best."

After hearing Martial Saint Yuanming's explanation, Lin Tian understood.

"Then let's go. I hope my money will finally be useful."
