Naturally, the other party did not recognize Jiang Li today.
Even if he recognizes Jiang Li, the original owner and a stubborn hermit who has had his personality tampered with, he will only think of him as an enemy.
The only solution is to change their personalities back again.
"Sorry, our shopkeeper is very busy with this guest, I'm afraid we don't have time... The waiter will take the guest to sit in the private room upstairs. Please wait a moment, the shopkeeper will be here soon."
The monk behind the counter looked stiff for a moment before he suddenly changed his words.
That's because Jiang Li was holding a small coffin in his hand, and the lid of the coffin was slid open by him.
The fifth clone, which had initially mastered the body, immediately took control of the seed cultivator, making him understand that the person in front of him was the master.
The nine secluded trees in the cemetery have now fallen into his hands, and the control of these stubborn hermit cultivators has naturally returned to Jiang Li's hands.
But now Jiang Li is no longer as blindly trusting the puppet of the spiritual root seed as before.
As the spiritual root of heaven and earth, Jiuyoumu has its own uniqueness. However, if it encounters other existences of the same level or with deeper roots, it is possible for it to be discovered and then cracked.
Apart from this, the ancestor of the Mu family should also have the ability to overcome the effect of the Nine Nether Earth Fruit.
He suffered a big loss this time and must be more cautious in the future.
Jiang Li followed the waiter upstairs, while the hermit behind the counter immediately ran back and informed Yan Hong.
Jiang Li was not asked to wait, and no more accidents occurred. Soon a figure also wrapped in vines opened the door and walked in.
The chubby body is Yan Hong who has been missing for a long time.
Yan Hong looked at Jiang Li and looked at him, still a little confused about the situation.
Jiang Li waved his hand at Yan Hong, and through his fifth clone, suppressed the strong soul-changing effect of the spiritual root seed on Yan Hong, allowing his true heart to slowly release and regain his sanity.
Yan Hong's originally normal expression suddenly turned dull.
His eyes were gradually covered with a layer of confusion, his breathing became more and more rapid, and then he suddenly seemed to wake up from a drowning state.
My whole body was shaken, and I looked around incomprehensibly.
"What...what...what...happened!"
After eating the Jiuyou Earth Fruit, Yan Hong felt as if he had fallen asleep and had a dream from which he could not wake up for a long time.
He actually has vague memories of what happened during this period of time. If he thinks about it carefully, he can recall it all, but there is always a strange feeling, as if he has never experienced anything like this.
It seemed that the person who controlled his body was not himself. This feeling made him feel at a loss.
I just woke up and my blood pressure shot up to over 500 while holding my head.
Then he couldn't stand even more, and his whole body suddenly collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
He was terrified of everything he had experienced before.
This was also the reason why Jiang Li had never wanted Yan Hong to take the Jiuyou Earth Fruit to improve his cultivation.
Although the Jiuyou Earth Fruit is cherished and precious, the growth rate of this Heaven and Earth Spirit Fruit is actually very fast.
It only needs to absorb the origin, life, and cultivation of monsters or monks, and it can grow quickly.
For Jiang Li, who was holding a branch of Jiuyoumu, it was really nothing.
For a golden elixir-level earth fruit, Jiang Li ran around deep in the mountains, caught a few monsters, and then extracted it with the parasitism of spiritual roots. It only took a day or two to get one.
Considering the relationship between Jiang Li and Yan Hong, it actually doesn't take much to get him one or two to improve his cultivation.
However, the effect of changing one's underlying sanity is really terrifying.
Jiang Li was unwilling to let Yan Hong become his puppet.
It's just that by some mistake, Yan Hong still ate the Jiuyou Earth Fruit and was controlled by others for such a long time.
In response, Jiang Li could only light a few incense sticks and put them next to Yan Hong, trying to make him feel better.
"Jiang...Jiang Li, is that you?"
After half an hour, Yan Hong finally regained his composure, then raised his head and looked at Jiang Li beside him.
As expected of Jiang Li's good friend, even if Jiang Li's disguise was not removed, he still recognized him.
Of course, he is a small qi-training monk with no background or backing. Jiang Li is the only one who can go deep into the Shifang Realm to save him.
Jiang Li nodded, returned to his original appearance and sat next to him.
"How are you? Do you feel better?"
The terrible feeling of having one's personality tampered with could not be accepted so easily. Yan Hong just nodded reluctantly, forcing himself to stay rational.
"Jiang Li, what happened to me?"
Yan Hong clutched his chest with his hands and asked Jiang Li with a trembling voice. But at least, his tongue was no longer tied.
"The person who captured you was a tree demon. It was the huge tree demon that appeared in the Mazu River Basin. It has the ability to influence people's hearts."
"After the last battle, the tree demon damaged half of its origin. It probably came back this time to take revenge on the Chongshan Alliance,"
"They didn't find me, but they found you."
Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, but still told the story about Jiuyoumu with reservations.
But the big secret that he knew was nothing in Yan Hong's eyes.
There are many ways to control people's hearts in the world of immortality. Yan Hong was just a qi-training monk before. Those who can control him can easily catch a lot of heretics.
If he wanted to control the Qi Practitioner, with Jiang Li's current level, it would probably be enough to just draw a black talisman.
Although that kind of control is far less powerful than the spiritual root seed, for Yan Hong, it is not much different.
Therefore, even if Jiang Li told him this, he didn't take it seriously.
To him, how much difference can there be between Yuanying, transformed gods, earth immortals, and even true gods? They are all existences that can slap him to death.
"Is that so? Jiang Li, how did you find me? Also, will I look like that again in the future?"
Yan Hong didn't delve into it. In his eyes, there were too many such big figures. He didn't care how big the tree demon's background was.
What he is concerned about is whether he will return to that state again in the future. If that is the case, it is better to let Jiang Li give him...
"Don't worry, I've found your place for you. That guy is really powerful. But since I can find you, it's natural that the tree demon has fallen into my hands."
"However, the crime you suffered is not without its benefits. Congratulations to Yan Hong, you are now a serious Golden Elixir monk."
Jiuyoumu in the cemetery fed Yan Hong the Jiuyou Earth Fruit. The powerful effect of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root Fruit allowed him to achieve a level of cultivation that others might not be able to achieve in a lifetime in an extremely short period of time. From then on, he lived five hundred years.
Although, he only has a castle-in-the-air cultivation level, and the magic arts he knows are still the same as during his qi training period.
Moreover, the cultivation level has not been polished, and the spirit remains at the original level. A 100% cultivation level can only be used at most about 10% to 20%.
The real combat power is probably better than that of the foundation-building monks.
If you want to refinish your cultivation bit by bit, it will take at least a hundred years of hard work.
But for Yan Hong, it was a big opportunity. And with the cultivation of Jindan, although he had no fighting ability, he was still barely qualified to be a businessman.
Without this cultivation level, no one would take a serious look at him.
