The Breath-Concealing Technique is a spell but it is not really a real spell. It is a method of controlling spiritual power.
Use special runes to create a net in the body to conceal one's own spiritual power and hide one's true spiritual power fluctuations.
The Breath-Gathering Technique does not require the coordination of the mind, it can be performed as long as the drawing of the rune is completed.
Li Shiming was not worried about the complexity of the runes. He scanned "The Art of Breathing" into the large server IBMz15, and then read it repeatedly with his consciousness.
It only took him a few minutes to memorize all the runes of the Breath-Concealing Technique.
He called upon the spiritual power in his body and drew the runes of the Breath-Concealing Technique beneath his skin.
He didn't feel any trouble and drew the complex pattern without any mistakes.
He felt the spiritual energy vortex in his body tremble slightly, as if it was blocked by something.
After successfully activating the Breath-Hardening Technique, Li Shiming frowned slightly. The feeling of being restrained by the Breath-Hardening Technique was not good.
In addition, as long as spells are cast or spiritual power is called upon to a certain extent, the effect of the Breath-Concealing Technique will be destroyed.
In front of a cultivator whose strength far exceeds one's own, the effect of the Breath-Concealing Technique is very limited.
However, the Breath-Concealing Technique was obtained for free, so it was good enough that it was useful, and he did not ask for too much.
"Hey, fellow Daoist, have you mastered the breath-concealing technique?" When Fan Yiyang was touching his belly and walking out of the cabin, he happened to see Li Shiming and asked in surprise.
How could he not be surprised? It had only been a short while and Li Shiming had already mastered and applied the Breath-Concealing Technique.
Although monks are far superior to mortals in many aspects, especially memory, after being nourished by spiritual power, spell runes are notoriously complex.
No matter how low-level the Breath-Concealing Technique is, it is still a spell.
"How many days did it take me to learn the art of concealing my breath?" Fan Yiyang asked himself.
He didn't quite remember the little thing that happened so long ago, but the study time would not be less than a month.
Looking at Li Shiming standing by the railing, he felt mixed emotions, and the spiritual rice he had just eaten no longer tasted fragrant.
"I would also like to thank you, fellow Taoist!" Li Shiming bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Fan Yiyang became even more enthusiastic and decided to make friends with future talented classmates before they became successful.
He had some background in the sect, but because of his own poor talent, the help he could receive from the forces behind him was extremely limited.
If you want to live a better life in the sect, you have to make more friends. This is his code of conduct.
He doesn't have much ambition. With his qualifications, this is how his life will be. He needs to earn more resources and build his own family in the secular world in the future. All of this requires the support of powerful friends.
Li Shiming spent twelve days on the official ship, and during these days, he and Fan Yiyang became friends.
"Fellow Daoist Li, we have arrived at Zhongdu. Let's say goodbye here. I hope to see you again in the sect!" Before reaching the shore, Fan Yiyang bowed to Li Shiming.
"Fan Daoyou, see you again someday!" Li Shiming replied.
Fan Yiyang leaped towards the river bank, a talismanic light flashed, and his figure became void and disappeared.
Although Li Shiming was also at the second level of Qi Refining, he did not have this skill. Besides, he was carrying maids and servants and a lot of luggage, so it was impossible for him to be so cool and carefree.
I don’t know if Fan Yiyang did it on purpose, but he really yearned for it.
The official ship stopped at the dock, and Li Shiming and his entourage got off the ship.
"Young Master, the carriage from the mansion is here to pick you up!" the servant Mo Yan exclaimed in surprise.
Following the direction of his finger, Li Shiming saw an old carriage. If it weren't for the mark of the Fourth-Rank Li Mansion on the carriage, he really wouldn't have thought that the carriage in Zhongdu would look like this.
Considering that this is Zhongdu, the fourth rank really means nothing.
He just sighed in his heart and didn't have any requirements for the carriage.
"Greetings to the young master. I am Manager Zhang from the old house in Zhongdu!" The coachman saluted him.
When he got into the carriage, he realized that he seemed to be wrong.
The decoration inside the carriage was no worse than the one in Nanling Mansion. The old appearance was just a cover.
They brought a lot of luggage, which filled the back of the carriage.
Except for Li Shiming and Siqin, Mo Yan and four guards followed the carriage.
Siqin opened the car window and looked at the capital of Daxia with curiosity.
"Manager Zhang, how long will it take to get to the old house?" Li Shiming was not interested in the prosperity of Zhongdu. What he wanted to do most now was to return to the old house immediately.
During these twelve days, he used the computing power of the large server IBMz15 to repeatedly calculate the activation method of the Soul Gathering Disk.
Combined with some information he got from chatting with Fan Yiyang, he was very confident that he could activate the Soul Gathering Disk.
He waited for twelve whole days without using the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' to improve his cultivation. At most, he used the spiritual energy in the computer room to restore his spiritual power after performing the 'Spring Breeze and Rain Technique'.
"Young master, we'll be there after we cross the street ahead!" Manager Zhang heard Li Shiming's anxiety and responded while whipping the carriage to make it go faster.
As the carriage sped up, the four guards and Mo Yan also started to jog.
"Is this the old house?" Li Shiming asked while standing in front of the vermilion gate.
The vermilion gate looked quite large, but according to the regulations of Daxia, it was considered the residence of a small family, and did not look like the residence of a fourth-rank official at all.
Of course, Li Wenyuan lived in the government office of Nanling Prefecture all year round, but such a gate was still a bit shabby anyway.
The door opened and Manager Zhang bowed and invited him in.
There were three servants lined up on both sides of the door, two men and one woman, all of them were quite old. Together with Manager Zhang, there were four people managing the old house.
The old house has three courtyards. After entering through the main gate and passing through the hanging flower gate, you will arrive at the inner courtyard. On the left and right are the east and west wing rooms, opposite is the main house, and in the middle is a patio decorated with flowers and plants.
"The master wrote to arrange for you to live in the main house!" Manager Zhang reminded softly.
"Mo Yan, take the luggage to the main room!" Li Shiming had no objection. As the host, and his father Li Wenyuan did not live here, it was reasonable for him to live in the main room.
More importantly, there are left and right side rooms next to the main room, and a rear room at the back, which is surrounded on all sides and is suitable for protection by four guards.
Of course, the reason why Li Shiming likes the main room is that the space inside is large enough for him to practice.
"Manager Zhang, no one is allowed to enter the main room without my order. Just inform Siqin if you have any problems!" After Li Shiming instructed Manager Zhang in a deep voice, he walked into the main room.
Everything in the room was very clean. There were no expensive furniture, but all necessary equipment was available.
Mo Yan and the servants carried the luggage into the main room. Si Qin sent them away and began to pack up.
No one else could help with these things except Siqin. Originally, the only maid was the cook.
