Chapter 199 – Conceal and Shadow

The second item Lin Jichen took out was a horn-shaped object.



[Earth Grade Magic Treasure · Hell Horn]: Blowing the horn can unleash the Hellish Demon Sound, causing 1000 points of base skill damage to all cultivators within a 1000-meter radius and temporarily turning all beasts below the Crystal Realm within the range to fight for you.

This horn is a consumable item and can only be used three times, with a cooldown of 7 days.

Requirements: None.



Seeing this horn, Lin Jichen was astonished. He didn't expect to get a magic treasure so quickly.

Magic treasures are different from equipment and weapons; most of them are consumable and very rare.

The effect of this horn magic treasure is incredibly powerful. If he had this item when attacking the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, his battle merit would have doubled!

The third item was a skill book, but it was a bit strange because this skill book contained a special skill.

Special skills, like magic treasures, do not belong to movement techniques or martial arts techniques and can be learned and used by any profession.



[Earth Grade Skill · Conceal and Shadow]: Can hide one's figure, disappearing silently from sight. Cultivators or beasts below the Nascent Soul Realm cannot detect you. You can move normally during this period but cannot use spiritual power, or you will be exposed. Duration: 60 seconds.

Cooldown: 24 hours. Mana consumption: 3000 points.

Requirements: None.



This skill book made Lin Jichen overjoyed because this skill was even rarer than the Dao Heart Fruit in his previous life.

This skill is a lifesaving divine skill in the early stages because it can be used even in combat.

It can also be used to steal other people's BOSS Soul Burial Mounds and loot.

Although the skill has no power or damage, its uses are extremely wide-ranging, making it a divine skill for escaping and being lazy.

If you can't win, you can activate this skill to escape. Enemies below the Nascent Soul Realm basically won't be able to find you unless they have some special eye technique to see through illusions.

Lin Jichen immediately learned this skill.

Besides these two Earth Grade items, there were three other Mysterious Grade pieces of equipment, but none of them were useful to Lin Jichen.

After putting everything away, it wasn't long before Fang Qingzhu finished her meditation.

Opening her eyes, Fang Qingzhu saw Lin Jichen and immediately smiled happily.

"Still no, if you're discovered, you won't even have a chance to escape. Why are you so foolish? Listen to me, okay?" Fang Qingzhu was anxious, her eyes full of worry.

Lin Jichen teased, "Fang Daoyou, this seems to be my personal matter. Why are you so concerned?"

Fang Qingzhu was momentarily speechless, her face turning red, but she stubbornly said, "I don't care, I just won't let you go!"

Lin Jichen laughed and freed his sleeve from her grip, then gently held Fang Qingzhu's jade-like hand.

Fang Qingzhu felt as if she had been struck by lightning and instinctively wanted to pull her hand back.

But Lin Jichen held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I have a secret technique to hide myself. Li Xinghun won't be able to find me. I'll just take a look, and if things go south, I'll leave immediately. I won't risk my life."

Fang Qingzhu's heart was in chaos, her mind racing as Lin Jichen held her hand, making her feel endlessly shy.

After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Then I'll go with you!"

"There's no need for that. If you come, it'll be easier for us to be discovered. I can handle it alone," Lin Jichen said.

But Fang Qingzhu insisted, "I must go. This is also my personal matter. Why are you trying to stop me?"

Lin Jichen was momentarily at a loss for words, feeling the swift retribution. Her determination left him with no choice but to persuade her gently, "Fang Daoyou, I appreciate your concern. It makes me happy, but if you come with me, it'll only make it easier for us to be exposed. Neither of us will be able to escape. Let me go alone, okay? Be good."

After speaking, Lin Jichen even patted Fang Qingzhu's head.

Fang Qingzhu was flustered by this intimate gesture, losing her resolve.

In the end, she could only agree.

But Fang Qingzhu said, "You can go, but I'll wait for you outside the small town on the western edge of Thunder Marsh for three days. If you don't show up within three days, I'll come looking for you."

Lin Jichen had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The two then went their separate ways. Fang Qingzhu reluctantly bid farewell to Lin Jichen and flew away.

Lin Jichen also took to the sky on his sword, flying in the direction Liang Baiye had left.

But Liang Baiye was long gone, leaving no trace. Lin Jichen could only search blindly, praying to find something.

Fortunately, Fang Qingzhu had given Lin Jichen many of her elixirs before leaving. Relying on these elixirs, Lin Jichen flew for an entire day.

Just when he was about to give up, he finally found traces of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect!
