"Yes!"
The two siblings of the Ye family nodded vigorously.
"That's right, so first I need to stabilize them," Duan Gujin said.
"Then, Brother Duan, aren't you afraid that they will betray us?" Ye Manxiang said.
"I am, but I know that Pri Minister Cao doesn't yet have the guts to confront the Duan Family! If he truly intends to confront our family, he would need to make preparations in advance! I will first settle you guys down, and you must not reveal your identities carelessly! I'll teach you so basic Disguise Technique, which ordinary people will not be able to see through!" Duan Gujin said.
"Thank you so much, Brother Duan!" Ye Manxiang quickly expressed her gratitude.
The three spies hadn't yet returned to the residence of Pri Minister Cao, and they were gathered together discussing their strategy.
"Should we let Pri Minister Cao know the truth?"
One of the spies asked nervously.
The three were extrely conflicted internally, fearing that if they genuinely inford Pri Minister Cao about the truth, he would never trust them again.
"We're just three low-level subordinates, not even worthy of attention in the eyes of Pri Minister Cao! I don't think he would request an Alchemist to detoxify us! Perhaps he would just let us die, for him, he has many other subordinates like us!"
One of the spies said.
"Right! Right!"
The other two spies nodded hastily in agreent upon hearing these words.
They knew they were rely expendable pawns; moreover, they were now severely poisoned. Even if not for themselves, they had to think seriously for the sake of their wives and children.
After discussing for a while, they unanimously decided not to inform Pri Minister Cao about the matter and chose to align themselves with Duan Gujin.
anwhile, they firmly believed the Elixir Pills previously fed to them by Duan Gujin were indeed poisonous.
In fact, what Duan Gujin had given them were genuinely Poison Pills.
On the other side, Duan Gujin imdiately rented a small courtyard near the Duan Family residence for the siblings and taught them so basic Disguise Technique.
The Disguise Technique taught by Duan Gujin was not difficult, but the real challenge was crafting the disguise masks.
For the Ye siblings, it was nearly impossible to obtain disguise masks.
But for Duan Gujin, it was very easy to create two disguise masks.
After a day of forging, Duan Gujin finally finished making two disguise masks.
He explained so steps and details on how to use the disguise masks and then handed them to the Ye siblings to wear directly.
"This disguise mask can only be used for three months, you must take good care of it!" Duan Gujin seriously instructed.
"Okay!"
The Ye siblings nodded vigorously again.
After ensuring there were no issues with the Ye siblings, Duan Gujin then returned to the Duan Family.
Back at the small courtyard, he began to cultivate.
He knew that he might very likely attract Cao Dingtian's attention to the Duan Family, presenting a new threat and putting the Duan Family in a perilous situation.
"et the soldiers with the general, and counter the water with earth! Pri Minister Cao can't cover the sky with one hand in Country Gulai! As long as I cultivate quickly enough, I will eventually possess the strength to confront Pri Minister Cao!" Duan Gujin knew Pri Minister Cao held a high position in Country Gulai, but he wasn't a figure who could dominate everything alone. In Country Gulai, there were still many powerful forces.
For instance, Star Moon Academy.
And there were so very unique situations, like Alchemists.
Even the king of Country Gulai wouldn't dare to openly offend a Third-level Alchemist.
A Third-level Alchemist could potentially lead to the destruction of a small country like Country Gulai.
Originally, Duan Gujin thought that in the days to co, various sudden incidents could occur.
But to his surprise, a month had passed and he hadn't seen any moves from Duan Tianlang to act against him, and he also provided the three Cao Family spies with three Detoxification Pills, stabilizing them.
"Everything is going smoothly now! I have everything under control!"
Duan Gujin sighed to himself.
Just like that, the day for Star Moon Academy to recruit disciples arrived.
Under the leadership of an elder from the Duan Family, a group of Duan Family disciples headed to Star Moon Academy.
Seeing that the managing elder was the one he rembered, Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and then he cald down.
"Everyone, enter the training ground and get ready! Once you hear your na, step up to the platform for the competition!"
The elder explained the rules of Star Moon Academy.
Soon, a teacher from Star Moon Academy started calling the disciples below to co up and demonstrate their full strength.
An hour later, Duan Gujin heard his na.
He let out a breath and directly stepped onto the platform.
Many Duan Family disciples below widened their eyes, eager to know his true strength.
For the Duan Family disciples below, Duan Gujin's performance from a month ago was too astonishing; many subconsciously felt he might indeed be a dark horse within the Duan Family.
Thus, they all wanted to know his real Cultivation level.
A beam of orange light flashed over Duan Gujin's head, revealing nine Heavenly Dragon Martial Souls.
"What? An orange Martial Soul?"
The surrounding Duan Family disciples widened their eyes in disbelief, so even rubbing their eyes vigorously, unable to trust what they saw.
"My goodness! It really is an orange Martial Soul!"
"How is this possible?"
Many Duan Family disciples present wouldn't have believed that Duan Gujin had unlocked the second Martial ridian and possessed an orange Martial Soul, had they not witnessed it with their own eyes.
Up until now, they had never heard of anyone from the younger generation of the Duan Family who had achieved this.
Now, were they about to witness the birth of a miracle in the Duan Family?
Several Duan Family disciples who had been hostile to Duan Gujin saw his now revealed orange Martial Soul, their eyes widened, and their hearts pounded wildly.
They knew they had offended soone they shouldn't have.
Down at Duan Tianlang's training ground platform, he initially didn't believe his eyes either; he rubbed his eyes for a while before finally confirming that he hadn't seen wrong, Duan Gujin truly released an orange Martial Soul.
"Unexpected, so unexpected! He has actually unlocked the second Martial ridian!"
Despite being at the Innate Second Realm, he himself had not unlocked the second Martial ridian.
This ant that Duan Gujin currently had one and a half tis his Combat Power.
"He must have showcased all of his capabilities now! Such profound cunning!"
Duan Gujin glanced at the teacher on the stage and asked: "Do I still need to participate in the following exams?"
"No need, you can directly join Star Moon Academy now! Congratulations, from today onwards, you are a disciple of the Star Moon Academy's Genius Class!"
The teacher said with an elated expression.
