"Sect Master Hong, are you confident in defeating Li Xianfeng now?"
Fang Bai asked with a smile.
"Yes!"
Having advanced to the eighth-grade Human Immortal Realm, exceeding Li Xianfeng by a small realm, Hong Tongtian was brimming with confidence and said with great spirit, "If I can’t defeat Li Xianfeng this ti, I won’t have the face to et anyone!"
Fang Bai pondered for a mont, and said to Hong Tongtian, "On the eve of the competition for the City Lord, it’s not advisable for the Sect Leader to reveal your cultivation level, otherwise, if Li Xianfeng realizes that her position as City Lord is at risk, she may resort to so despicable tactics!"
Hong Tongtian understood Li Xianfeng’s character well. He knew that if she thought her position as City Lord was in jeopardy, she would certainly beco desperate and resort to any ans to deal with him.
Though his cultivation level could now crush Li Xianfeng, who knows what unexpected events could occur?
Hong Tongtian knew that Li Xianfeng’s brother, Li Muyu, was part of the Immortal Elephant Sect, which had strong ties with powerful Immortal Sects and Immortal Schools in the Central Heavenly Domain. If Li Xianfeng were to urge her brother to use their connections and bring in more powerful immortals, things could get troubleso.
"I don’t know the technique to conceal my aura, so it’s not easy to hide from Li Xianfeng!"
Hong Tongtian said with a frown.
Li Xianfeng had a strong divine sense, and it was certain that she had disciples monitoring around the Heaven-Reaching Sect. With his aura becoming even stronger after advancing to the eighth-grade Human Immortal Realm, he couldn’t hide it.
Therefore, the mont he left the secret chamber, Li Xianfeng might sense his greatly increased aura and beco wary.
"You might not understand, but I do!"
Fang Bai smiled and said, "I’ll teach you a secret technique to conceal your cultivation now. Once you learn this secret technique, you can hide your own aura, and unless you encounter immortals significantly stronger than you, other immortals won’t be able to sense your deep cultivation level and strength."
Hong Tongtian’s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "If that’s the case, it would be great! When I face Li Xianfeng in the decisive battle, I can catch her by surprise and seize the position of City Lord in one fell swoop!"
Having already learned a set of Earth Immortal Rank cultivation techniques from Fang Bai, learning Fang Bai’s secret technique was not too difficult. Within half a day, he was able to skillfully use the concealnt secret technique, hiding his aura well.
"Haha... Elder Fang, inviting you over and befriending you was indeed an extraordinarily wise decision on my part! Without you, Elder Fang, how could I, Hong Tongtian, be where I am today? It’s a kind of destiny!"
As he walked side by side with Fang Bai out of the secret chamber, Hong Tongtian said with a deep sense of emotion.
At the sa ti, he felt secretly fortunate that he did not abandon Fang Bai when he found out Fang Bai had provoked the Immortal Elephant Sect and Bloody Hand True Person. Otherwise, it would have been an imasurable loss.
"Sect Leader! Elder Fang!"
Ziyi, who had been waiting outside the secret chamber, saw Hong Tongtian and Fang Bai erging together, expressed her joy, and respectfully greeted them.
As she looked over Hong Tongtian, she noticed that her master seed different from before, but couldn’t quite tell how.
"Ziyi, why are you looking at like that?"
Having advanced to the eighth-grade Human Immortal Realm and learned the concealnt secret technique from Fang Bai, Hong Tongtian was in a great mood. Seeing his beloved disciple staring at him, he thought she had noticed so flaw and quickly asked.
Ziyi let out an "ah" and hurriedly bowed with a face full of panic, "Master, I was rude! Disciple... I haven’t seen you for many days, and seeing you suddenly, I thought you seed different from before..."
"Nonsense, your master is still your master, how could there be any difference?"
Although Hong Tongtian said this, he felt relieved in his heart.
The rank advancent of an immortal involves a comprehensive improvent from divine sense to body to ntal state. No matter how well you hide it, there would still be so difference in appearance from before.
Fortunately, Ziyi only felt that her master had undergone so changes but couldn’t tell what was different. Otherwise, Hong Tongtian would doubt whether the concealnt secret technique taught by Fang Bai was effective.
Seeing Ziyi looking genuinely afraid as if worried he might get angry, Hong Tongtian chuckled softly and asked gently, "During the ti when Elder Fang and I were in secluded cultivation, has everything been alright inside and outside the Immortal Sect?"
Ziyi said, "Reporting to Master, everything is well! It’s just..."
Hong Tongtian asked, "Just what?"
Ziyi replied, "Recently, there have been many spies from the City Lord Mansion, Immortal Elephant Sect, and the Immortal Mansion of Bloody Hand True Person around our Immortal Sect. Our disciples are monitored whenever they enter or exit!"
Hong Tongtian was not surprised and sneered, "It would be strange if they didn’t do this! Never mind, let them monitor. We’ll do what we need to do!"
Ziyi said worriedly, "Master, now the forces of Immortal Elephant Sect, City Lord Mansion, and Bloody Hand True Person’s Immortal Mansion seem to be joining forces. I’m worried..."
Hong Tongtian knew what she wanted to say and waved it off, "No need to worry. Your master... and Elder Fang are here for everything!"
Ziyi looked at her master and then at Fang Bai, always feeling that there seed to be sothing unsaid between them that they were keeping from her, but she dared not ask.
That day, Fang Bai suddenly rembered the siblings Qingyang and Qingyue, and asked Ziyi to bring them over.
After being invited by Ziyi to visit the Heaven-Reaching Sect, Fang Bai hadn’t left. Qingyang and Qingyue, following his instructions, had packed up the cultivation resources at the leased stall and had been waiting outside the Heaven-Reaching Sect’s gate.
In the eyes of Qingyang and Qingyue, the Heaven-Reaching Sect, with its seventh-grade Human Immortal Realm expert, was an entity they admired from afar. Without Fang Bai’s summons, they wouldn’t dare to intrude.
They had waited for over a month, initially thinking Fang Bai had forgotten about them, feeling extrely disappointed, when they suddenly saw Ziyi floating out from the Immortal Sect, saying Fang Bai wanted to see them.
The siblings were overjoyed, and while following Ziyi to et Fang Bai, they learned that Fang Bai had beco an Honorary Elder of the Heaven-Reaching Sect, making them even more reverent towards him.
"Senior Fang, here are the cultivation resources we collected from your leased stall, please have a look."
Upon eting Fang Bai, Qingyang imdiately presented a space ring with both hands, showing utmost respect.
Inside the space ring were the rewards Fang Bai received from alchemy and artifact refining for others, quite a substantial amount.
At that ti, Fang Bai and Ziyi had left in a hurry and had no ti to take them, so he casually instructed the siblings, Qingyang and Qingyue, to pack them up. He didn’t expect them to bring everything back without missing a single piece.
"In the future, I will still help others with alchemy, artifact refining, beast taming, and array setting. I need so assistance around, would you two siblings be willing to follow ?"
Fang Bai took the space ring and asked with a smile.
Although Qingyang and Qingyue had diocre talents, they were honest and kept their promises, which Fang Bai valued, so he intended to help them out.
Moreover, previously, when they ran errands for Fang Bai at the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market, they spoke up for him, offending many immortals in Myriad Images City. Letting them follow him would provide them with security.
