Before the meeting time with the sect elder, Li Feng was not planning to go out of his house. But suddenly he was notified by one of his blood clone that a man named Fan Guyu had went to the mission hall and had accepted the same mining mission as him.
There would be many more disciples who would be going to the mine with him. So another disciple taking this mission was not a big deal. But this man named Fan Guyu was also a part of the group who had attacked his village. So by going to the mine with him was a very good opportunity for Li Feng to kill him.
But if Li Feng was planning to do some killing in the mine then he needed to make more preparations. So Li Feng again had to go out to the market to buy a few things that were useful for hiding traces and to take care of deceased souls. As these items were unusual, Li Feng obviously went to buy them in disguise.
The items that Li Feng wanted were not rare or too expensive. One just needed to know of the proper places where an item like that could be found. As Li Feng was already quite familiar with the secret places of the Blood Sea sect, he had no trouble getting his hands on those items. After getting everything, he returned back to his house.
After returning back, Li Feng finally relaxed and took out the Turtle Breathing Mantra. Then an advanced upgradation card appeared in his hand and he used it on the tattered book. Immediately the book started shining with a golden light and turned into a different book. Even though a few pages were missing from the turtle breathing mantra, the upgraded version had no such problems and it was complete.
Li Feng read the title of the book and found that the "Tutle Breathing Mantra" had turned into a new technique called "Xuanwu's Great Isolation". This was a powerful technique and by mastering it, Li Feng not only be able to hide his own presence by isolating it, he would also be able to isolated an area. Whatever happening in that isolated area would not leak to the outside world.
This technique was perfect for what he was planning to do next. As that man named Fan Guyu was barely a 4th rank Qi gathering realm cultivator, killing him would not be a problem. And now that he had this technique, hiding this killing from the elder's eyes should also be possible.
But for that to happen, he first needed to master this technique. So for the remaining time, Li Feng completely focused on learning and mastering this technique as much as he could.
Even after reaching the foundation establishment realm and learning the stealth technique from the Blood God Divine Scripture, with its ability to isolate a whole area, this Xuanwu's Great Isolation technique would still be very useful. So Li Feng was planning to not cut any corners and started to learn the technique with all his might.
This technique was also something that a spirit beast was capable of learning, so after Li Feng memorised the technique, he gave it to Yue to learn it. Just like that, both the human and the beast spend the remaining type practicing hard to learn this super useful technique.
...
On the day of the departure, Li Feng appeared in the location where all the disciples taking the mining mission were suppose to meet with the elder. As he was suppose to be a poor disciple who had just learnt how to sense spiritual energy, he did not buy a spatial bag from the market.
Spatial bags were somewhat expensive. But any mid grade qi gathering realm cultivator could afford to buy a low quality one after a little bit of saving. But to maintain his disguise, Li Feng did not buy one and instead carried a large bag with him.
This was also a good way to hide Yue inside the bag who had shrank her body as much as she could. After reaching the location, he found that their were quite a few disciples who were already waiting for the elder. Most of them had cultivation in the second or third level of Qi gathering. Other than Li Feng, only one of them was also at the first level. So far no mid grade Qi gathering cultivator had appeared.
Li Feng did not initiate conversation with anyone and just waited in an empty spot. Anyone looking at him would think that he was spacing out but actually he was having a telepathic conversation with Yue.
After waiting for about an hour, the mid grade disciples also started showing up. Then after one hour and half, the elder finally arrived.
Li Feng looked all around him and counted the number of the disciples going to the mine. There were over a hundred low grade disciples and only 12 mid grade ones including Fan Guyu. Not a single high grade disciples would be joining them in this mission.
As for the elder, he was a thin man with sunken eyes and displeased face. From the aura he was giving off, Li Feng judged him to be an early stage foundation establishment cultivator. This fact made Li Feng extremely relaxed.
Even though he had not reached the foundation establishment realm yet, he was confident in his ability to handle an early stage foundation establishment realm cultivator with his current strength. So even if this man tried to do anything to him on the way, Li Feng had enough strength to protect himself.
The elders took out a small ship made of bone and in a blink of an eye, the small toy like bone ship enlarged and turned into a large flying ship capable of boarding several hundreds of passengers. From the conversation happening around him, Li Feng learnt that this ship was an rank 2 low grade spirit artifact which could be used for travelling.
All the disciples were told to go to the ship one by one. When Li Feng stepped foot on it, he immediately felt that something was trying to scan him in this ship. Li Feng was not sure what this scanning was trying to find but as soon as he noticed it, he informed Yue about this with telepathy.
Hearing this, Yue immediately used the Xuanwu's Great Isolation technique and hid her presence. Yue's master over this technique was not very good as she had very little time to practice it and she had only managed to learn it a little while ago. But fortunately, the grade of this technique was extremely high, so even a rank 2 spirit item was unable to sense her presence.
Just like that Li Feng was able to board the ship without any trouble. After all the disciples were on board, the elder gestured with his hands and the ship started floating in the air. Then with an impressive speed, it started to travel toward their destination.
