After he finished speaking, Jin Cunyue got up and left.Moments later, he returned and handed Jiang Yun a storage artifact. "The things are inside. I've also prepared some communication stones for you....At this moment, Jiang Yun was no longer in the apothecary, but instead found himself in a small village.

Besides this kindly old man, there were dozens of busy figures, each smiling at him.

Jiang Yun smiled slightly at the old man and said, "Grandpa, I have a harvest!"

"That's good, then you can cultivate with peace of mind, and we won't bother you!"

After he finished speaking, the old man put his hands behind his back and walked away.

And as he watched the elder's back, a trace of sadness appeared in Jiang Yun's eyes.

Of course, this is just an illusion!

This is a fantasy realm created specifically for Jiang Yun by the ginger clan's illusions using their magical arts.

What appears within the dream is the Jiang Village of yore.

The reason for creating this illusionary world for himself wasn't just because he yearned for the life he once had in Mangshan. Jiang Yun also wanted to buy himself more time.

Although the man in his soul told Jiang Yun that he had ten to a hundred years to comprehend the Dao, Jiang Yun naturally couldn't really give himself so much time.

Even ten years felt too long to him. The sooner he could grasp the meaning of his life's journey, the sooner he could leave this world.

Therefore, he created an illusion for himself.

The illusory realm of the Ginger Clan has one extremely powerful characteristic: time flows differently compared to the outside world.

Although Ginger Cloud is not yet able to slow down time in the illusion realm by ten times like Mirage Lens, he can slow it down by five times.

Five times the time means he spent five years in the dream realm while only one year passed in the outside world.

Anyway, he doesn't need to continue cultivating, he only needs to comprehend the Dao. It makes no difference where he is. So, in this way, his time has effectively increased fivefold!

Watching his grandfather's figure disappear, and seeing the bustling crowd in Jiang Village, Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and drew it slowly across his eyes.

As his palm swept across, the figures before him vanished instantly, leaving only him within this illusion.

Looking at the empty surroundings, Jiang Yun closed his eyes.

But in the air before him, a figure slowly materialized at an excruciatingly slow pace.

And Ginger Cloud's mouth was also muttering: "Grandfather's character, for me and all the people in Ginger Village, is kind, strict, and decisive. But to enemies, Grandfather's character is ruthless and merciless..."

In Jiang Yun's voice, the figure appearing before him gradually became clearer. It was still his grandfather, Jiang Wanli.

He was still kind-faced, but his eyes held a new chill compared to the warmth of Jiang Wanli from before.

Opening her eyes and looking at the grandfather in front of her for a long time, Jiang Yun shook her head and said: "No, this is not the image of my grandfather in my mind."

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yun made the grandfather in front of him disappear again. Immediately after, another Jiang Wanli began to emerge.

"But no, when Grandpa gets serious, he's really frightening."

With Jiang Yun's continuous shaking of his head, he began to repeatedly conjure up images of his grandfather in the illusory realm, hoping to manifest the true image of his grandfather as he envisioned him.

Ginger transformed into her grandfather and the villagers of Ginger Village. Initially, she only wanted company and didn't consider personality at all. She simply copied the images of the people in Ginger Village from her memory.

But after hearing Zheng De's speech today, he had a sudden inspiration. He realized that in his dream world, he could give each person he conjured their own unique personality.

Perhaps this kind of transformation could help one gain insights into the Dao.

Therefore, just now he wiped out all the people in Ginger Village, and now he's starting to transform anew.

However, after several attempts, he realized that no matter how well he knew his grandfather, the image of his grandfather he conjured up was always lacking.

Because grandfather has many kinds of personalities, he will show different personalities when facing different people and things.

But to gather so many personalities together, it's simply too difficult!

In Jiangyun's view, his inability to achieve this was due to his insufficient strength and cultivation. However, he didn't realize that if his actions, or this whimsical idea, were known to powerful figures like the Daozun or Gu Bulao, they would be utterly astonished.

Because, strictly speaking, this kind of behavior is tantamount to creating life, just like the soul created by the pharmacist he encountered in the Nine Colored Realm!

Before, the grandfather that Ginger Cloud had transformed and all the villagers of Ginger Village, they were all illusions, unreal. All their actions and words changed according to Ginger Cloud's will.

But if he could really bring his grandfather's personality to life according to his imagination, then this grandfather, although still an illusion, would be as if he had a soul!

Until the outside world was bathed in daylight, Jiang Yun was still unable to conjure an image of his grandfather that satisfied him. He had to pause for a moment, lost in thought.

"Perhaps it's because my grandfather and the others have too many secrets from me. The ones I see aren't really them."

"Even so, actually I don't know them well at all, so I can't conjure up their true images."

"If I truly understand a person, could I conjure up their true image"

Thinking of this, a figure once again appeared before Jiang Yun's eyes, a man in his forties. His hair was slightly bald, he was somewhat overweight, and he wore an apron around his waist. His face was oily, it was – Zheng De!

……

The next morning, when Zheng De saw the sign reading "Consultation Hours" placed at the entrance of Renxin Hall, he smiled and nodded. "This old ginger fellow, he's not a bad person, just a bit simple-minded," he said. "I hope his business will gradually pick up!"

Zheng Dewan never expected that Jiang Yun's business would not only improve but flourish greatly!

Because Ginger Cloud's medical skills were truly exceptional, even minor ailments like headaches and fevers could be cured with a single prescription. For more serious illnesses, recovery could be achieved within three to five days.

Furthermore, the fact that Ginger Cloud's fees were incredibly affordable quickly propelled Ren Xintang and his reputation to new heights. As a result, patients seeking treatment lined up outside the clinic, almost breaking down the threshold due to the sheer volume of people.

Ginger Yun never turned away patients who came to him for consultation. However, no matter how busy he was, he always went to Zheng De's place for meals at the designated times every day.

Naturally, the relationship with Zheng De also became better and better, and I became more and more familiar with him.

In the blink of an eye, over three months had passed. That night, Jiang Yun closed up shop and once again stepped into the realm of illusion.

And now, within this dreamlike realm, six figures have appeared, each one being Zheng De!

However, while each Zheng De may have the same appearance and build, their facial expressions and demeanors are all unique.

The first Zheng De was all smiles, with a kind and pleasant demeanor. This was how he appeared when facing guests;

The second Zheng De had his eyes wide open, his face contorted in anger. This was the first time Jiang Yun had unintentionally seen him scolding his wife;

The second Zheng De had a face full of worry. It was late at night, when there were no people around, and he lamented why he had no children.

……

Looking at these six Zheng De figures, Jiang Yun murmured, "I originally thought that with my abilities, I could easily create the image of Lao Ge. But I didn't expect that an ordinary innkeeper would have so many different personalities!"

As soon as his words fell, Jiang Yun waved his hand again. Before him, the seventh Zheng De slowly emerged.
