    But merely retrieving the Gu worms was not the whole purpose of Fang Yuan’s journey.


    After cing all of the Gu worms into his aperture, he turned his attention to Chang Shan Yin’s corpse.

    He started using Gu worms, helping the body to detoxify.


    “Isn’t he already dead?” Ge Yao asked by his side, looking confused. Detoxifying a living person made


    sense, but what was the point of detoxifying a corpse?


    Fang Yuan did not bother turning to answer her, but told her: “Stop looking, use your cleansing Gu and


    help.”


    Fang Yuan and Ge Yao worked in turns; gradually, Shang Chan Yin’s corpse was losing its toxicity.


    “Don’t tell me… is he Chang Shan Yin? He’s your father?” Ge Yao had a sudden realization, and sent a


    look of inquiry towards Fang Yuan, “No, Chang Shan Yin’s son is a native of northern ins. Looking at


    your appearance, you’re obviously a foreigner.”


    Fang Yuan let out a cold grunt, saying expressionlessly: “I told you, I am Chang Shan Yin.”


    As the toxins in his body were purged, the surface of Chang Shan Yin’s skin gradually returned to it’s


    naturalplexion, losing the wretched green color that came as a result of the poison.


    Fang Yuan, upon seeing that the cleansing was almostplete, asked the girl to step back. He


    stripped Chang Shan Yin of his clothes, and rinsed them with water.


    “You… you want to bring his body back?” Ge Yao surmised.


    However, Fang Yuan’s following actions immediately overturned her conjecture.


    She saw Fang Yuan retrieve a regiment of ck ants from his aperture.


    Fang Yuan injected his primeval essence, and the ck ants immediately rushed towards Chang Shan


    Yin’s pale and naked corpse and began to consume it.


    The ck ants crawled all over Chang Shan Yin, swallowing all of his skin into their stomach, turning


    the corpse into a mess of fleshy tendons, and leaving the body beyond recognition.


    Ge Yao saw what was happening, and resisted the urge to vomit.


    Fang Yuan collected the ants once they were done, took out a seed, and nted it into the ground.


    As he poured his primeval essence, the seed began to grow at a visible rate: rooting, germinating, and


    blooming into a beautiful flower.


    The flower was in full bloom, yet it was quite strange in that it appeared as if it was covered in a


    membrane of skin, like the inner flesh of a mouth. The inner petals also had a row of tiny jagged


    sawtooth.


    The ck ants converged into a group, climbing up the flower, and entered the core of the flower.


    The flower then closed again, its jagged teeth whirling wildly, as the teeth rubbed against each other, it


    made a humming sound, and made the whole flower tremble.


    Fang Yuan took out another Gu worm, which Ge Yao failed to recognize. The Gu turned into a multi-


    colored ze, and attached itself to the top of the flower.


    The flower twisted wildly while it burned in the me, giving off a sharp shriek.


    The shriek of the flower was so sharp that it forced Ge Yao to cover her ears and move backwards


    several more steps.


    At this point, the girl realized that something was amiss, this strange method reeked of the demonic


    path. Ge Yao’splexion paled, and when she looked at Fang Yuan, she saw that his face had not


    changed, standing on the spot, both his eyes were shining as he paid attention to the flower.


    “Open.” Suddenly, both of Fang Yuan’s eyes emitted an explosion of light as he shouted loudly.


    The coro of the flower opened up a small slit, allowing the multi-colored me to enter. Afterwards,


    the whole flower suddenly exploded and a Gu worm flew out.


    The Gu Worm had a multi-colored tint, constantly transforming; asionally yellow-green, and


    asionally blood-violet. Like a smokey fog that was rising upwards.


    “Human skin Gu, the refinement has finally beenpleted.” Fang Yuan, upon seeing it, let out a sigh


    of relief. Next, he willed, retrieving an old removal Gu from his aperture, as it turned into a cooling


    breeze.


    The breeze flew out of the aperture, flowing all over Fang Yuan’s body, permeating his skin, tendons,


    and bones.


    Fang Yuan had originally used three Gu; ancient bronze skin, essence iron bones, and golden steel


    tendons, to modify his body, and now it was all washed away.


    Then, from the moving perspective cup Gu, he took out a sharp dagger.


    “The following scene is going to be a bit bloody, you should close your eyes.” With his hand clutching


    the dagger, he gave his warning to Ge Yao.


    Ge Yao hurriedly took a breath, looking at Fang Yuan in confusion, unable to speak a word.


    Then at the next moment, the girl’s pupils shrank, both of her hands covered her mouth, unable to


    suppress her rmed yelp.


    Under her horrified gaze, Fang Yuan pointed the dagger to his chest and softly sliced it.


    Swish!


    He had cut from himself from the neck down to his abdomen.


    Yet strangely enough, his blood did not flow out, he had prepared a staunch bleeding Gu in advance.


    After that, Fang Yuan expressionlessly slit the dagger along the middle of his body, then he stretched


    out his hand and ripped the skin off of his chest.


    The girl, upon seeing this horrifically violent scene, could not help but repeatedly step backwards again,


    her entire face had turned pale like paper.


    Fang Yuan gritted his teeth to endure the pain, and under the urging of his mind, the colorful smoke


    that was in floating in midair covered his whole chest.


    Sizzle…


    In the midst of the strange sound, Fang Yuan’s bare and bloody chest was covered by a newyer of


    skin.


    The peculiarity of it was, although the skin had just grown, it did not have the expected baby-like


    tenderness; instead it had the pale solidity of old skin.


    Then, Fang Yuan repeated the process, peeling the skin of his arms and his legs,pletely removing


    them, to grow a newyer of skin.


    “This, don’t tell me…” Ge Yao could gradually see what was happening, and was bbergasted.


    When he was peeling the skin of his back, Fang Yuan was somewhat troubled, but under his strenuous


    effort, he managed to seed.


    Eventually, it was time for the most critical part, the face.


    Fang Yuan stop for a moment, taking a quick rest, then, lifting up his dagger, he aimed at the tip at his


    eyelid.


    Ge Yao watched with her whole body trembling, yet Fang Yuan’s hands were steady like they were


    cast iron, each of his actions were precise and minute. He first cut his eyelids off, followed by his eye


    sockets, the knife tip curved out and reached his ear, and moved from his cheek to his chin.


    Turning around at his chin, he did the same to the other side, and ended uppleting a circle.


    Next, Ge Yao saw Fang Yuan removing his own face; her heart pounded furiously, and her legs felt


    weak.


    The colorful smoke then flew over again, and grew a newyer of skin.


    Subsequently, Fang Yuan did the same to the skin on his neck, ears, and scalp.


    When he turned his face to look at Ge Yao, he had already changed into a new person, sporting the


    appearance of Chang Shan Yin.


    “I told you, I am Chang Shan Yin.” He said in a nd tone.


    Ge Yao looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief, he had actually spoken in a perfect northern ins ent.


    Of course Fang Yuan could speak in the northern ent, he just chose not to earlier.


    “You, you!” Her finger was pointed at Fang Yuan, her body trembled violently, her face had turned pale,


    and her expression was filled with horror.


    Fang Yuanughed in disdain internally: the human body is merely a sack of flesh, I was just changing


    the sack, what was the point of making such a fuss? The so-called beauty and ugly are superficially


    and weak things. If this is Earth, people have no powers and the immortal path is cut, then so be it. But


    in this world, only eternal life is worth pursuing!


    This human skin gu, hundred of yearster, it would be developed by Gu Masters during the five region


    chaotic battle. It could be used by Gu Masters to cleverly disguise themselves as another person, with


    their face being identical.


    Many of central continent’s Gu Masters, using human skin Gu, were able to prate deep into enemy


    headquarters. Allowing for secret assassinations and mass destruction, it had greatly augmented the


    military power of the central continent, making the four other regions panic and doubt each other.


    Not paying any attention to the prettydy who was scared out of her wits, Fang Yuan stood where he


    was and brought his hands to eye level to observe them.


    By now, his hands hadpletely changed.


    His fingerprints and palm prints were exactly the same as Chang Shan Yin’s.


    Next, he felt his chest.


    His chest was originally smooth and t, but now it sported chest hair that extended downwards from


    his throat to his crotch.


    He felt his own nose, a northern man’s stiff nose, then he felt his rough cheeks. He took out a mirror


    and observed his features, his face had already be that of Chang Shan Yin, going to the extent


    that he had begun to grow hair in the same style. Even the grey hair that came with old age were


    completely replicated.


    Human skin Gu, it referred to the fact that human skin was the main ingredient of the Gu worm. In


    addition, the transformation was aplete transformation. Not just skin, but hair, eye color, the shape


    of his bones, and even old injuries werepletely replicated


    …


    Ge Yao looked at Fang Yuan, it felt like a dead man had just resurrected.


    “You, who the hell are you?” She stared at Fang Yuan, full of vignce and alertness.


    Fang Yuan gave her a smile, saying gently: “I told you, I am Chang Shan Yin.”


    “Do you think I’m a fool? Just a moment ago, I saw the whole thing, I saw it first-hand till the end. Also,


    you are an outsider, stop using our northern ent to speak!” The girl shrieked, her expression looked


    almost deranged.


    Fang Yuan looked at her with a considerate gaze, his face showing great wisdom that came with age,


    he let out a sigh filled with great emotion: “Littledy, rest assured, I mean you no harm, I am Chang


    Shan Yin, from the beginning to the end, I did not lie to you.”


    “So, so how do you exin what just happened?” The young girl asked.


    Fang Yuan’s eyes nced upwards, ignoring the girl, and looked at the sky, his expression was in daze


    as he spoke in a reminiscent tone: “Littledy, have you ever heard of soul seizure?”


    “Soul seizure?” Ge Yao had a nk look, her eyes flickered with confusion, and her tone was


    uncertain, “You mean, when a body is taken over by another soul?”


    Fang Yuan slowly and gently exined: “It seems you have heard about it before. Yes, you’re right, I


    was on the verge of death, with no one to rescue me, so I had no choice but to escape with my soul. In


    poison grasnd, it is cloudy all year round, and the sun isn’t visible, which allowed my soul to wander


    freely. I wandered for a whole twenty years, until I was able to seize the body of a foreign Gu Master.


    While I teleported back with my Gu worm, I met you coincidentally.”


    “Really? Is what you are saying really true?”


    “Hehehe, if I meant you harm, I would have killed you long ago, there would have been no reason to


    allow you to apany me here, or even teaching you how to battle right?.”


    “That’s true but…”


    “If I wanted to guard against you, I wouldn’t have let you witness these things. You are a northern


    ins native, and I am the great Chang Shan Yin, I wouldn’t do despicable things to a girl such as


    yourself. Why was it that I only managed to seize a body after twenty years? It was because I did not


    want to ughter a northern ins native for my own selfish reasons. Littledy, will you attack me


    because of an outsider?” Fang Yuan’s smile was bright as the sun, speaking in a righteous tone.
