A change of identity

"To make a change of identity."

Hearing the sound, the monk clerk behind the counter opened his eyes. He was a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage middle-aged man with a thin face.

He glanced at the two of them, "Which of you wants to change? What change?"

Qin Tiexin took a step forward and performed a Buddhist salute with one hand. The movement was not very familiar, and the angle of the palm was a little crooked, but it was not out of place on a monk.

"Good. The poor monk was unfortunately attacked by a gangster because he changed the path of Cultivation Method. Fortunately, the poor monk killed him, but he also lost an arm. He has been adjusting his breath and recovering for the past six months, and today he changed his identity, changed his realm and appearance."

Myriad Stars Dynasty's requirement is that if there is a major breakthrough in the realm or there is a significant change in appearance or the door is changed, the identity needs to be updated. What Qin Tiexin will change this time is the realm and appearance.

"Good" and "poor monk" are the mantras that Chen Xi has repeatedly warned. No matter what kind of monk you are, this is absolutely correct. You can add it if you have anything to do.

The clerk's eyes moved to Qin Tiexin.

A warrior monk with a broken arm was wearing an old monk's robe and wielding an iron rod. His whole body was vaguely exuding the heat wave unique to the Early Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm body cultivation.

He took out a bronze mirror Law Artifact from the drawer and looked at Qin Tiexin. The old image stored in the jade plaque appeared on the mirror, with sound arms and a slightly younger face than now.

"Zhaoming Temple Mingjue?"

"It's the poor monk."

"Cultivation?"

"Early Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm. The poor monk was originally a dual cultivator of Dharma and Body, focusing on Dharma cultivation. After being injured, he specialized in physical cultivation, and his cultivation has changed."

The tip of the clerk's nose wrinkled slightly, Qin Tiexin heat waves were constantly evaporating from his body, and he could feel the scorching Qi and Blood fluctuations from a few steps away.

He pulled out a Jade Slip from under the counter, put it on his forehead and read it for a while, then asked in a casual tone, "You came from the Zhaoming Temple, right?"

"Yes"

"Zhaoming Temple is on the southwest border Green Rock Mountain, right? What's the name of the abbot?"

"Master Huiming."

"How many bells are there in the temple?"

"Two." Qin Tiexin paused briefly. "The bronze bell hanging on the mountain gate has been passed down for three generations, and the bell in the main hall was obtained by the abbot thirty years ago." Chen Xi had these details recited by him in the yard, and he simulated each question several times.

The clerk nodded, closed the book, and took out a few things from under the counter, including a blank jade identity card, a Spirit Rune seal, and an inquiry record form.

"What evidence does the traitor who attacked you have?"

Qin Tiexin took out an old Storage Bag from his arms and placed it on the counter. He opened the bag and poured out a few fragments: several talismans, two bottles of elixirs, and a middle-grade flying sword stained with blood. These were all collected by Chen Xi from the scene where the unlucky monk "Mingjue" was attacked.

"These are the relics of that villain, get them together."

The clerk twirled the broken sword and examined the remaining spiritual brand on Storage Bag. It was indeed the aura of a strange monk, which was completely different from the Qi and Blood fluctuations emanating from Qin Tiexin.

"Okay, stand over here."

Qin Tiexin followed the instructions and stood on the stone floor marked with red lines on the side of the counter. The clerk took out a fist-sized jade bead and held it in his palm, injecting spiritual power. The jade bead lit up and a soft green light shot out from the center of the bead, sweeping Qin Tiexin from his head to his feet, and then from his feet to his head.

"Height, appearance, and cultivation are all suitable. There is no problem with his cultivation."

After saying that, the clerk put the jade beads back into the drawer, then picked up the blank identity jade tag and stamped it on the Spirit Rune seal. He also stamped Spirit Rune on a formation plate on the counter, and finally pushed the jade tag and a piece of light golden talisman paper in front of Qin Tiexin.

"The identity change is completed. The new jade token has been updated with your current cultivation, appearance and physical condition. The old jade token is invalid. Keep this change record, and you can show it if anyone questions your identity in the future."

Qin Tiexin took the new jade sign, and Divine Sense penetrated it.

All the information in the jade tablet has been updated: Mingjue, Zhaoming Temple monk, Early Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm. The image of Spirit Rune next to him has also been replaced by his current appearance with one arm and short hair. He performed another Buddhist ritual and carefully put the jade tablet into his arms.

"Good job. Good work."

Chen Xi also stepped forward to change the identity information of Li Shan. It was nothing more than a fluctuation in cultivation from Foundation Establishment Early Stage to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. As usual, the clerk verified a few questions and stamped it.

When the two walked out of the identity room, the Spirit Stone lamppost was already lit up on the street.

Falling Star City was more lively at night than during the day. More stalls were set up in the alleys, and the sound of hawking mixed with the aroma of spiritual tea floated in the hot and humid air. Chen Xi stopped at the door of a medicine shop, asked the clerk about the latest news, and bought a few bottles of commonly used Healing Pill medicine before leading Qin Tiexin back to the small courtyard.

Early the next morning, Chen Xi unfolded a simple map of the Myriad Stars Dynasty in the small courtyard, with several circles drawn on it with cinnabar.

His finger pointed at a small town marked "Green Willow City" in the southeast.

"Go here first. I used to know an Third Realm medical practitioner from the Golden Core Realm. He was very skilled and helped many Rogue Cultivator mend broken bones, but he was notoriously greedy for money. As long as the Spirit Stone was in place, he would treat anything." He rolled up the map and put it in his sleeve. "The only problem is that this person's whereabouts are uncertain. I don't know if he is still in the original place."

The two took out Falling Star City. Chen Xi did not take out the flying shuttle. Instead, he summoned an inconspicuous Middle-Grade Law Artifact flying sword from the storage ring and stepped on it.

This place is no better than Azure Xuan Region. The flying shuttle is too eye-catching. Only caravans and monks above Golden Core can use it. It is safest for two Rogue Cultivator to use swords on the road. Qin Tiexin stood behind the sword and flew into the air with the flying sword, heading toward the southeast.

After flying for about a hundred miles, Chen Xi suddenly said, "Junior brother, you are now Qi and Blood Realm, and you should learn to fly with a sword. This is not difficult. You can control a sword by practicing Foundation Establishment Realm in law, and it is the same with Qi and Blood in physical training."

Qin Tiexin nodded. Chen Xi slowed down the speed of the sword and broke down the basic essentials of handling a sword. Spiritual energy was poured into the sword body. Divine Sense controlled the direction. Keep the center of gravity of the body in the center of the sword. Treat the flying sword as part of your body.

Qin Tiexin listened carefully, and after repeating Deduction in his mind several times, he tried to jump up from Chen Xi's flying sword, summoned the iron rod from the storage ring with one hand, and stepped on it with one foot.

There was a muffled sound, and he fell seven to eight feet with his stick before he stabilized crookedly.

"It's too heavy." Chen Xi looked down at his junior brother in mid-air, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "When you put Qi and Blood's power into the stick, put less force into it."

Qin Tiexin adjusted the output of Qi and Blood's power, and the iron rod finally stopped falling, but the direction was still biased, with the head of the rod moving east and west for a while. It took him a whole day to barely deviate from the flight path of Chen Xi, but his posture was still crooked. I don't know if it was because he was not familiar with the operation or because he was overweight.
