Chapter 983: Controlling Love Wine
As Han Yu tested, he realized everything worked in this body. The feeling differed from corpses as living bodies always felt smoother.
More natural.
More complete.
A few seconds later, Han Yu stood.
A disciple looked over.
"Brother Niuyun?"
Han Yu smiled using the man’s face.
"Another cup."
The disciple laughed.
"Good! That’s more like it!"
Han Yu moved around the gathering.
He toasted disciples.
Spoke briefly.
Even sat with several people.
Nobody noticed.
Nobody suspected.
The disguise was perfect.
Han Yu quietly tested everything.
Qi circulation.
Movement.
Speech.
Memory access.
The memories remained available.
Han Yu could even recall techniques.
The success stunned him.
After several minutes he withdrew.
Niuyun’s body swayed.
Then collapsed.
The hall fell silent.
"Brother Niuyun?"
"What happened?"
Several disciples rushed over.
Han Yu watched invisibly.
A disciple checked him.
"He’s fine."
Niuyun woke minutes later.
Confused.
Head aching.
"What happened?"
"You got drunk!"
The others burst into laughter.
Niuyun frowned.
"That’s impossible."
Someone shoved a wine cup into his hand.
"Then prove it!"
Niuyun immediately accepted.
The hall erupted again.
Han Yu floated above silently smiling.
The experiment succeeded.
Nascent Soul realm was possible.
Two minutes.
That became the time needed to enter.
He quietly returned to his room and his soul reentered his body before Han Yu opened his eyes.
He immediately began writing notes.
Nascent Soul possession successful.
Resistance significantly increased.
Time required approximately two minutes.
Memory access preserved.
Technique access preserved.
No detection.
No aftereffects except temporary headache.
He paused then leaned back as his thoughts drifted.
"Dao Shell."
That was next.
Han Yu’s expression slowly changed.
Dao Shell cultivators were different.
Their bodies transformed as their Dao shells protected them. The resistance might increase drastically.
Still the temptation had already appeared. If Nascent Soul worked then Dao Shell should be possible... Eventually.
Han Yu looked outside.
The gathering still continued.
Laughter echoed faintly.
His mirrors generated emotional energy nonstop.
The Eight Emotions Lotus continued absorbing.
His reserves remained full.
Han Yu closed the report.
A smile appeared.
"Looks like it’s time."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Now I only need a suitable Dao Shell target."
Far away, inside Love Wine Peak...
Mistress Love Wine suddenly sneezed.
Her mirrors all turned toward her.
One of them spoke.
"You are being remembered fondly."
Another disagreed.
"No. This feels dangerous."
Mistress Love Wine blinked.
Then shrugged and continued drinking.
She had no idea Han Yu had already started looking towards her.
A few days later, Han Yu eventually decided to test Dao Shell realm possession. And unfortunately for Mistress Love Wine, she became his first choice.
The decision had not been random.
Among all the Dao Shell cultivators Han Yu knew personally, she was the most suitable target. He had interacted with her enough times to understand her habits, and more importantly, she was powerful enough to give him proper data.
Of course, Han Yu had no intention of going to her peak physically.
The memory of being forcefully dragged into dual cultivation still remained vivid enough. He had absolutely no desire to experience another encounter involving suspicious wines, locked rooms and a smiling Dao Shell cultivator.
"No." Han Yu shook his head while preparing. "Absolutely not."
Thus he chose a different approach.
Love Wine Peak sat far from his own territory. The distance exceeded what he could comfortably cross and return from repeatedly while preserving Soul Qi. After studying the maps for a while, Han Yu selected a small hilly region roughly five kilometers from Love Wine Peak.
The place was barren.
No spirit herbs.
No resources.
No disciples visited it.
It became the perfect hideout.
Han Yu concealed himself within a cave the rats had dug out for him. He laid several concealment arrays and stationed hidden Jiangshi nearby. Only after confirming everything did he sit down.
His soul left his body and the world changed. Han Yu moved swiftly through the air. He passed over valleys, tributaries and pavilions before finally reaching Love Wine Peak. The place remained exactly as extravagant as he remembered.
Beautiful pavilions dotted the slopes.
Flower fields spread everywhere.
The air smelled faintly sweet.
Han Yu felt immediate danger.
He silently promised himself never to stay here physically.
Finding Mistress Love Wine proved easy. She was inside her residence and she was trying on dresses. Han Yu floated invisibly inside and stared.
The room looked like a battlefield.
Silk dresses covered chairs.
Robes hung everywhere.
Jewelry boxes remained open.
Meanwhile Mistress Love Wine stood before six Narcissus Mirrors.
Han Yu immediately recognized them.
They were all his creations.
And all six were talking.
"Young Miss, the red one highlights your figure."
"No, no. The blue one gives mature elegance."
"The white one makes you look unattainable."
"You already look unattainable."
"Incorrect. She looks devastating."
Mistress Love Wine smiled happily while turning.
"Really?"
All six mirrors answered simultaneously.
"YES!"
Han Yu silently regretted giving her multiple mirrors.
Still...
She was distracted.
Perfect.
Han Yu moved.
His soul entered.
The moment he touched her body... Resistance exploded.
Han Yu nearly got thrown back and his expression changed instantly. The difference compared to Nascent Soul cultivators was enormous. Inside her Dantian the Nascent Soul opened its eyes immediately.
The Dao Shell surrounding it trembled and pressure surged outward.
Han Yu felt like he had stepped into a fortified city.
Mistress Love Wine stopped turning and her smile faded as a faint pain appeared in her head.
"Hm?"
She pressed her temple.
The mirrors reacted instantly.
"Are you alright?"
"You look pale."
"Should we call someone?"
Mistress Love Wine frowned.
"My head hurts..."
She closed her eyes and examined herself with spirit sense.
Han Yu remained as is and pushed forward.
Minute after minute passed.
The resistance remained intense.
Mistress Love Wine became increasingly confused as she saw her inner state. Her Nascent Soul stirred while the Dao Shell bobbed uneasily. She checked meridians, Qi flow, cultivation and pretty much everything.
But nothing appeared wrong.
Instead, the headache worsened.
The mirrors became genuinely concerned.
"You should visit Healing Hall."
"I agree."
"This may be cultivation deviation."
"You have been drinking a lot lately."
