Chapter 496: Chapter 496: The Auxiliary Cultivation Method, Shadow Following Form, Created by Ye Feng
“The Sect Leader never speaks falsehoods.”
Having said that, Ye Feng’s old face reddened, and after coughing once, he rolled up all the ancient texts and, with a whoosh, used instantaneous movement to leave.
Inside the Assassin’s Hall.
The Hall Master and numerous assassins looked at each other, then immediately wiped the large beads of sweat from their foreheads.
Just now, they really thought Ye Feng had come to cause trouble.
Given Ye Feng’s current strength, even if all the assassins of the Assassin’s Hall attacked together, they likely couldn’t even sever a single hair on Ye Feng’s head.
“Finally got rid of that big shot, scared me to death!”
The Hall Master of the Assassin’s Hall slumped into his seat and turned to the assassins, suddenly slapping his thigh, “Listen up, from now on, whoever dares to issue a mission related to assassinating Misty Sect personnel, tie up the one issuing the mission first!”
“Yes!”
The numerous assassins were silent as cicadas in winter, nodding repeatedly.
Misty Sect.
Ye Feng teleported back.
He sat on the peak of Misty Peak and entered the mode of spending prestige points.
Deduct 100 prestige points.
Deduct 300 prestige points.
Deduct 10,000 prestige points.
…
In just one hour, Ye Feng spent 60,000 prestige points and finally mastered over a hundred assassination techniques to the Perfect Stage.
Even the auxiliary cultivation method named “Shadow Following Form” was mastered by Ye Feng to its highest level.
“Shadow Following Form…”
“An auxiliary cultivation method that, once mastered, can turn one’s spiritual power and True Yuan black, making the cultivator’s aura faint and movements elusive, difficult to detect.
“Additionally, it makes one adept at disguise and assassination.”
“This method is quite good!”
After mastering these techniques and auxiliary methods, Ye Feng handed over the ancient texts to Ji Ziling and then returned to Luosha City.
He sat by the lake, recalling the hundred-or-so assassination techniques he had just learned.
To accommodate the Heiluocha Members, Gong Qingqiu had Shi Lei dig a canal to connect with the Spirit Lake of Misty Sect, bringing in much water from the Spiritual Spring.
Therefore, the spiritual energy by the lake was also very rich.
“What is City Lord doing?”
The Heiluocha Members, shouldering heavy loads, were running around the lake. Seeing Ye Feng sitting by the lake, they all became curious.
“Not sure.”
“Maybe he’s just enjoying the view!”
The women were all baffled.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura of cultivation level emanated from Ye Feng, causing the entire lake to tremble.
All the Heiluocha Members sharpened their focus on Ye Feng, only to see his aura transform from ordinary to unfathomably profound, like a dreadful deity’s dwelling.
Just looking at him was suffocating.
“Entering the Origin Qi state, the feeling of cultivation filling my body is really quite pleasant.”
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
His voice was drowned out by the fluctuations of his cultivation level, and no one else heard him.
At that moment, the cultivation level he displayed had reached the seventh layer of the Divine Origin Realm.
With a gentle wave of his hand, dozens of blades of dark light danced over the lake and instantly merged, forming a deadly bloom.
“Third-Grade Assassination Technique ‘Black Lotus Extermination,’ not bad.”
Although it was a low-grade technique, when used by Ye Feng at the seventh layer of the Divine Origin Realm, it was powerful enough to move mountains and fill seas.
“What a terrifying technique!”
The Heiluocha Members inhaled a breath of cold air.
Although they couldn’t see through Ye Feng’s cultivation level, they could feel the terrifying presence emanating from him.
“It’s just an average spell; it’s the Sect Leader’s strength that’s formidable.”
Gong Qingqiu appeared by the lake, explaining to those Heiluocha Members, “What you just saw was a third-grade spell, usually suitable for cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm to cast.”
“We’ve seen Deputy City Lord.”
Everyone bowed with their swords in respect.
By the lake.
Ye Feng consecutively executed dozens of assassination techniques.
On the lake’s surface, there were times black mist filled the air, times shadowy figures walked mysteriously, and times dreadful beams swept across.
All of these were assassination techniques.
Their whereabouts were unpredictable, their aura concealed.
After a while, Ye Feng stopped executing the techniques.
For these hundred-or-so techniques, he only wanted to say two words.
Rubbish!
To be honest, these spells look quite decent, but they aren’t actually all that intricate.
Ye Feng decided to begin the deduction process.
He consumed a strand of Wind Element Spirit Energy.
In his mind, the various meridian routes of over a hundred spells began to emerge.
With the deduction driven by Wind Element Spirit Energy, many unnecessary routes were eliminated, leaving the core meridians.
“Still not enough!”
Ye Feng found that these core meridians were somewhat disorderly.
He continued to consume Wind Element Spirit Energy to carry out a second deduction.
But still, it wasn’t enough.
The newly deduced secret technique’s meridian flow was not suitable for cultivation.
He kept consuming Wind Element Spirit Energy.
In a blink of an eye, night had fallen.
Ye Feng had consumed thirty strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy and finally deduced a flawless secret technique.
This secret technique had no name.
But Ye Feng knew its grade was very high.
Although it wasn’t a Divine Skill, it was a powerful spell that had merged the essence of more than a hundred assassination techniques and had been enhanced several times.
This secret technique was specifically for assassination.
Once cast, it possessed multiple functions such as concealing aura, figure, defense, assassination, and illusion.
This was… a comprehensive secret technique!
“What should I name this secret technique?”
Ye Feng fell into deep thought.
He turned around and looked at a young woman with a melon-seed face who held an Embroidered Flying Sword and said, “Your name is Miao Jing.”
“The City Lord knows my name?”
Miao Jing was surprised and a little delighted.
I have the Eye of Insight, of course, I can tell who you are. Ye Feng muttered in his mind.
“I have a secret technique here, can you learn it?” Ye Feng appraised Miao Jing, “You are only eighteen years old, with Mid-Grade aptitude and the cultivation level of Qi Refining Seventh Layer; your comprehension should be decent as well.”
“I am willing to give it a try.” Miao Jing said.
“Then let’s try it!”
Ye Feng reached out his hand and touched Miao Jing’s glabella, transmitting the first layer of the newly deduced comprehensive secret technique to her.
The next moment.
A massive flow of information washed through her mind, nearly filling Miao Jing’s memory to the brim.
Her eyes became vacant.
Because the secret technique was too profound!
Even with Ye Feng’s direct instruction in a “direct transmission of knowledge” manner, she still found it hard to digest within a short time.
“This secret technique, I shall name it “Shadow Kill”, it has nine layers, and to cultivate it to the ninth layer peak is equivalent to fully mastering a Ninth Grade spell.”
Ye Feng explained.
He asked Miao Jing if there was anything she didn’t understand, and if there was, Ye Feng would explain it on the spot.
Sometimes, he would point out the key meridian points on her body to guide her.
Late into the night.
Miao Jing took a deep breath.
At this moment, she was sweating all over.
Even with Ye Feng’s personal guidance, she had only managed to cultivate “Shadow Kill” to the third layer peak.
“Give it a try!”
Ye Feng knew that Miao Jing had reached a bottleneck and, even with his guidance, she could not make further progress for the time being.
“Yes.”
Miao Jing formed a sword with her fingers, and the Embroidered Flying Sword disguised as a hairpin immediately flew out from her hair, circling in mid-air.
“Shadow Kill!”
Miao Jing suddenly chanted the incantation in a deep voice.
Her entire being was enveloped in a strange mist, allowing her to blend into the night, making it difficult for even those in the Element Gathering Realm to sense her presence.
Whoosh!
She moved instantaneously across the air, appearing at the center of the lake.
With a gesture of her hand, the circling Embroidered Flying Sword immediately shot out at high speed, mingled with the black mist, it circled around the air and returned to her front.
Gong Qingqiu was nearby.
She witnessed this scene.
“What a strange sword technique, perfectly concealing one’s own aura, and particularly by utilizing the cover of night. Even an ordinary cultivator in the Element Gathering Realm could be assassinated.”
Gong Qingqiu stated gravely.
She was truly astonished by this secret technique.
