Chapter 50 Further Improvements to the Concealing Breath Technique

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's pupils contracted slightly.

Could this little girl be a reincarnation of a dog demon?

He put aside his contempt for the other party, and at the same time reflected on his own shortcomings in concealing his aura. He had hidden the fluctuations of his magical power and the strength of his physical body and blood, but he had not completely gotten rid of the smell of Qin Chengcheng that he often mingled with. This girl had caught him by the tail.

"Fairy Lin has misunderstood," he hurriedly explained telepathically, "I, Chen, merely..."

"No need to explain, just tell me if you're going to do it or not. If you don't make this spiritual dish, I'll tell Xu the sycophant about you sneaking into my senior sister's room at night."

Lin Xiaoyu's smile deepened; she enjoyed the feeling of being in control.

Chen Yi felt a headache coming on. He and Qin Chengcheng spent all their time studying formations, and he was trying to break the restriction in Qin Chengcheng's mind.

However, this matter cannot be explained to the public.

If that extremely jealous young master Xu finds out, it will be another problem.

If all else fails, he might have to let Qin Chengcheng down and prepare to pack his things and run away.

Chen Yi glanced silently at Qin Chengcheng, took two steps back, and continued to transmit his voice to Lin Xiaoyu:

"Fairy Lin has truly misunderstood. I was merely delivering wine and dishes to Fairy Qin. If Fairy Lin truly dislikes me, then I will leave Miaoyin Pavilion starting today."

Chen Yi felt at ease, knowing that he had the ability to survive anywhere.

Lin Xiaoyu asked suspiciously, "If this can't threaten you, are you really not afraid?"

But she could tell from Chen Yi's expression that he still cared.

Exactly, how could a forty-year-old Qi Refining cultivator at the mid-stage be unafraid of a Foundation Establishment true disciple of a sect?

After thinking for a moment, she magically produced a gilded talisman and slammed it on the table: "Hmph, this is my unique communication talisman."

"After it's done, you can use it to ask me for a favor—or you can take it to any of the Myriad Sound Pavilions and exchange it for some spirit stones."

Lin Xiaoyu's eyes were bright and lively, and she looked like she didn't believe you wouldn't agree.

Chen Yi sighed inwardly. At such a young age, he already understood the principle of giving a slap followed by a sweet treat.

Upon seeing the gilded talisman on the table, Liu Jinjin's eyes widened, and Qin Chengcheng was also slightly surprised.

The keepsake of the beloved daughter of the Miaoyin Pavilion's sect leader is quite valuable.

Lin Xiaoyu is only 19 years old this year, and she has already reached the peak of Qi Refining. If she can successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment stage without using the Foundation Establishment Pill, it is entirely foreseeable that she will smoothly advance to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. With the support of her elders and the acquisition of a Crystal Condensation Pill, it is not impossible for her to become a Core Formation expert in this lifetime.

A cultivator's potential is limited. Each time they break through a realm using a breakthrough pill, they consume a portion of their potential, making it twice as difficult to break through again the next time.

Therefore, age, cultivation level, and whether or not one has taken a breakthrough pill can roughly determine a person's cultivation talent and potential.

aside,

Xu Shixian was also tempted by the communication talisman: "Chef Chen, if you don't know its value, I'm willing to pay 500 spirit stones to buy this communication talisman."

"I, Chen, would never dare to sell Fairy Lin's communication talisman so easily," Chen Yi said with a sigh as he put away the talisman under the intense gazes of the crowd.

"Please lend me your magical furnace, pots, and utensils. With two Foundation Establishment seniors here today, I can only give it my all."

"Take it." Lin Xiaoyu smiled brightly. "If you do a good job, you can keep this stove and pot set."

Huh? You just throw away a set of magical artifacts like that? What a greedy bastard!

Chen Yi was secretly pleased. With the help of this set of magical kitchen utensils, his chances of making second-tier spiritual food would increase by another ten percent.

But his face showed a passive, resigned, and uncomfortable expression.

However, just as I received this second-tier Illusionary Feathered Sparrow, the system notification in my mind had already sounded several times.

The special spirituality of this second-tier Illusionary Feathered Sparrow will likely provide him with a significant boost.

Since some things are unavoidable, it doesn't hurt to convert them into their maximum value.

Besides this second-tier demonic beast, Chen Yi also received a set of magical kitchen utensils and Lin Xiaoyu's personal communication talisman, worth over 500 spirit stones.

There's definitely no loss.

There might be some minor troubles later on.

It's foreseeable that after this meal, more people will come to Chen Yi to prepare spiritual food banquets.

He might really become Chef Chen.

We'll talk about it later.

Chen Yi suppressed his thoughts, turned around with the kitchen utensils and the white-feathered spirit bird, and prepared to go to the back kitchen.

When leaving,

Qin Chengcheng's voice transmitted through his ear: "Are you confident? Do you need any help?"

Chen Yi replied, "With the magical kitchen utensils, and if I overdraw some of my magical power, I might have a 50% chance of success. Of course, if the fairy has any pills to restore magical power and spiritual consciousness, that would be even better."

"Dream on. I know you too well. A 50% chance is already a sure thing," Qin Chengcheng said crisply via telepathy.

Sure enough, once you know something too well, it's not so easy to get something for free anymore.

Chen Yi remembered another lesson.

Looking back, she realized she needed to distance herself from Qin Chengcheng, at least not let him know too much about her situation, otherwise she would be too easily manipulated.

back kitchen.

When Chen Yi dealt with the Illusionary Feathered Sparrow,

As my fingertips lightly touched the feather, a system notification suddenly flashed through my mind:

[Second-tier illusionary spirit detected, currently absorbing...]

With a thought, the fine silver patterns on the feathers magnified in his consciousness, revealing that they were naturally composed of countless miniature illusion arrays.

"It's a natural phantom pattern?!"

Chen Yi recalled the eye contact he had with the turtle-snake beast at the bottom of the lake that day—the other party had locked onto him through the special fluctuations of the Concealing Breath Technique.

"If we could disguise the fluctuations of our aura as those of another creature..."

He quietly activated the system, and golden light spread across his palm like a spider web, slowly drawing away the silver-blue spiritual energy flowing from the feathers.

The instant the spirit entered the body, the breath-concealing runes in the sea of ​​consciousness trembled violently, and the originally straight trajectory of spiritual energy suddenly branched into countless tributaries.

Like an old tree blossoming in spring, it sprouts illusionary branches from the main trunk!

After a short while, the Breath Concealment Technique underwent a transformation, its effectiveness increasing once again, while the consumption of spiritual energy actually decreased.

The new "Transformation" feature allows users to simulate the aura fluctuations of familiar, lower-level creatures they have encountered (such as the Mystic Water Turtle and the Mystic Fire Serpent).

The unique, aura-concealing fluctuations on the old tortoise shell were completely concealed.

In this way, if Chen Yi really enters the water, he estimates that even the old turtle would easily mistake Chen Yi for someone else and would be unable to find Chen Yi through the special fluctuations of Chen Yi's Breath Concealment Technique.

With a light stroke of his fingertips, Chen Yi's aura suddenly transformed into that of a Xuanhuo snake at the early stage of Qi Refining, even mimicking the rustling sound of its scales rubbing against the grass.

"Such miraculous effects from just a single feather." He stared intently at the demon core. "The real treasure is still there."

Chen Yi began to deal with the spirit sparrow. Its second-tier demonic body had no effect on the normal Qi Refining cultivators due to its corrosive power, but it was completely ineffective under Chen Yi's body-refining state.

He disemboweled it, removing the demon core and internal organs one by one. These were inedible parts, containing chaotic evil energy, demonic power, and so on.

But for Chen Yi, they could all be absorbed through system differentiation, and he carefully stored them away.

Besides

During the dissection, Chen Yi discovered a silver-blue crystal condensed deep within the demon core. Upon touching it, illusions flooded his mind—this was the solidified form of the spirit sparrow's innate soul power.

The system had barely absorbed a trace of it when the energy purity it fed back was comparable to that of a Spirit Nourishing Pill!

Chen Yi immediately stopped and sealed the demon core with a talisman.

If he fully absorbs these soul powers, it might help him improve his divine sense again, but he needs to proceed gradually.

Only then did Chen Yi begin to properly cook the spirit bird.
