[Deceptive Shadow Sword Skill]

Phew!!!

Chop!!!

Soon after Zheng-Fu studied the Shadow Delusion Sword skill, he was able to perform it because this skill had only one stance. And the practice procedure was not very difficult. The training process was similar to that of his disguising skills.

So, when he tried to practice, it did not take a long time to succeed and could be used. And it was even more powerful because he had tried to adjust his movement to be less, thus making this skill more intense.

"This skill is not bad at all. I can stab a sword while concealing and hiding it, making it impossible to see or touch. If I use this skill combined with the disguising skill, it'll be almost perfect." Zheng-Fu admired this skill because it could be used effectively in conjunction with his own. And it would give quite good results for use in assassination.

When completing the skill test, Zheng-Fu turned towards the guest house where Dong-Kuang and his team were staying and said, "Now is probably the right time. It seems like each of them has raised their level quite a lot." He walked towards the door of the guesthouse before opening it.

Creak!!!

He decided to take a peek first.

When Zheng-Fu opened the door, he saw that everyone was quietly and seriously cultivating. They had to sustain and be careful to absorb the energy from the high-level stone with a large amount of Qi energy because if they did not do so, a large volume of Qi energy waves would flow into their realm, and if it was too much, it could explode.

[Dong-Kuang advanced three levels, from the eighth level of the Golden Core stage to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage.]

[Fu-Tao-Qi advanced four levels, from the fifth level of the Golden Core stage to the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, the highest level of this stage.]

[Lang-Guang-Kuang advanced four levels, from the fifth level of the Golden Core stage to the ninth level of the Golden Core stage.]

[Ji-Zhung-Gong advanced four levels, from the fourth level of the Golden Core stage to the eighth level of the Golden Core stage.]

[Yan-Yu advanced four levels, from the fourth level of the Golden Core stage to the eighth level of the Golden Core stage.]

[Wu-Xiao advanced four levels, from the third level of the Golden Core stage to the seventh level of the Golden Core stage.]

All of them had increased four levels each, and only Dong-Kuang was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. The rest of them were all at the high level of the Golden Core stage. Finally, the last stone ran out as everyone slowly opened their eyes. And suddenly,

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

The energy-crazy Fu-Tao-Qi shouted out loud before getting up and stretching and twisting around until one could hear the crunching sound of his bones due to the increase in level, causing the bone to turn stronger.

"How are you, guys?"

"Young Master!!!"

When everyone heard Zheng-Fu's voice, they rushed towards him with smiling faces. They were delighted that their power level had risen rapidly in one night like this. But everyone forgot that their entire bodies were filled with a large amount of black liquid flowing due to their breakthrough just now.

"It seems that everyone's level rises quite a lot. But right now, I think everyone should go take a bath first," Zheng-Fu said with a smile on his face, looking at Dong-Kuang and the others standing in front of him.

"Oh nooooooo!!! My whole body is dirty! Like this, my beauty is completely gone!" Wu-Xiao shouted before quickly running out of the hall.

"Sigh... A woman is like this: she loves beauty and good looks, unlike men like us… This is just a little liquid. It doesn't stink... Ugh!!" Before Ji-Zhung-Gong finished speaking, he raised his arm to smell the liquid, and his eyes immediately widened. The smell of black liquid was extremely stinky, especially when bending down to inhale it.

Ha ha ha!!!

"Alright, everyone. Let's go take a bath first. Then come and meet me here again."

"Yes, sir, Young Master!!!"

Then they all dispersed to wash their bodies before returning to Zheng-Fu again at the guesthouse later.

At this moment, everyone gathered inside the hall of the guesthouse, where Zheng-Fu cast the Protective Sealing spell to prevent anyone from knowing.

"Now the level of everyone here has increased by leaps and bounds. However, it will take some time to adjust the balance of this increased energy. And today, Brother Dong-Kuang and I will go to the Monster Crystal Mine to meet Brother Dan-Chun-Gu. I'd like to ask everyone to take care of this place," Zheng-Fu said with a smile.

Then he turned toward Lang-Guang-Kuang and said, "This is for you and your squad." After finishing his words, Zheng-Fu took out his Shadow Delusion Sword skill scripture from his dimensional ring and handed it over to Lang-Guang-Kuang.

Grab!!!

"That's the Shadow Delusion Sword skill. It's an advanced mid-level skill that I've refined. The skill is very suitable for you and your people. I hope your practice will be a success very soon."

"Thank you, Young Master." Lang-Guang-Kuang took the martial scripture from Zheng-Fu and clasped his hands together, thanking him.

"Alright, let's disperse. Remember not to show a new energy level until you have rebalanced it, except for Lang-Guang-Kuang's secret squad only. And today's matters are just these."

"Yes, sir!!!"

After talking, everyone dispersed to do their own duties. Only Dong-Kuang was with him because Zheng-Fu wanted Dong-Kuang to take him to the mine where Dan-Chun-Gu was assigned escort duty. And, of course, he went there for some reason.

"Let's depart, so we won't waste time."

"Yes, sir!"

Whoosh!!!

The two figures disappeared from the guesthouse in the blink of an eye; their speed was beyond anyone's perception. When combined with the disguising skill, no one else could even recognize them except the two Elders who could sense Dong-Kuang 's identity earlier, before he used the disguise skill.

But for Zheng-Fu, he had always concealed himself, even when he used the pressure energy to capture Wang-Gia or when going out to deal with the black-robed men. Zheng-Fu had his realm limited all the time. No one could recognize him except people in that area.

"Is that the young man named Dong-Kuang?"

"It seems to be right. I can remember this energy wave. But why has his energy level increased by leaps and bounds like that?"

Both of them suspected the energy level of Dong-Kuang as it seemed to increase rapidly, but they did not think of doing anything because this was not a bad thing. On the other hand, it was good that there were more and more strong people within the family. And when counting Dong-Kuang, who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, there were now four people in the clan at this stage.

From the clan to the mine, it only took two hours for them to arrive. It was not too far away from the clan. As for the ordinary person or profound cultivator, they would only take half a day to travel.

"Is it here? I wonder why no one knows that there is a Monster Crystal Mine here." Zheng-Fu spoke as he swept his gaze around the surrounding area and used his spirit to examine the surrounding creatures. He found that more than a hundred people were gathered at the entrance of the cave, and ten more were scattered in the forest.

Of course, he was able to guess who those people were. Zheng-Fu ordered Dong-Kuang to deal with them and then meet him at the mining camp. Zheng-Fu would go in first because he wanted to do something.

"Stop! Who's that!?" The voice of the entrance guard rang as he saw someone approaching the camp in front of the mine.

"Go tell your boss that Young Master has come to see him!" Zheng-Fu did not say much, he just said that before stopping and not going any further.

"Huh… Young Master!?"

The guards were all stunned, they did not understand who the young master Zheng-Fu talking about was. But when he came to his senses, one of the guards at the entrance shouted back, "Little boy, what young master are you talking about!? You better not be joking or are you a spy for the Mu Clan and Jia Clan!?" The guard turned to his fellow and said, "But how is it possible?

His face is so young?" It caused the rest of them to laugh amusedly.

Ha ha ha!!!

"Sigh... Brother Dan-Chun-Gu!!!!!!!!!!" Zheng-Fu could not help but let out a disappointed sigh before loudly shouting Dan-Chun-Gu's name.

"Yes...Young Master!!?"

Whoosh!!!

Just before the end of Zheng-Fu's voice, Dan-Chun-Gu's figure quickly flew out of the tent to stop in front of Zheng-Fu. He knelt on one side and clasped his hands in a salute, saying:

"Dan-Chun-Gu's respect to Young Master."

Ugh!!!

When the guards, who were standing and laughing frantically at the entrance, saw their headmaster, Dan-Chun-Gu, kneeling to respect the child they had jokingly teased earlier, they instantly collapsed, and their faces turned pale.

Thump!!!

At the same time, Dong-Kuang, who had been ordered to deal with the spies around the area, had just returned. He came to stand beside Zheng-Fu. And that only made the guards pale and panic even more because they were now sure who the child was in front of them.

"You seem to be carrying a heavy burden, but don't worry, today we'll go home." Zheng-Fu reached out and grabbed Dan-Chun-Gu's arm to lead him to stand up and said with a warm smile.

"Go home? What about the mines, Young Master?" Dan-Chun-Gu and Dong-Kuang said in unison, with a suspicion that if they left, the mine must have been seized.

"No need to worry about that. Order everyone to come out of the mine and prepare to leave for the clan now. I will handle the rest."

"Y... yes, sir."

Dan-Chun-Gu, despite his doubts, obediently replied. Because no matter what Zheng-Fu ordered, he would follow him even if he did not know the reason. After a while, all of the belongings and every kind of equipment were collected. And the miners were ready to leave at any time. But Zheng-Fu let everyone rest for another half an hour before leaving.

In that half-hour, Zheng-Fu talked to Dan-Chun-Gu about what had happened and their life at the current time.

"Alright, everyone. Let's set off!" shouted Dan-Chun-Gu, ordering all of them to leave before turning back to Zheng-Fu once more, saying goodbye and following the procession that led him before.

"Alright, it's time to start our work. Brother Dong-Kuang, let's store the mine!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

Zheng-Fu finished his words and immediately flew towards the front of the mine. Dong-Kuang nodded in response and followed closely. The reason Zheng-Fu came here was that he wanted to suck this mine into his dimensional space and test whether this mine that was almost depleting the ore could recover or not. And perhaps this place could not only produce monster crystal ore. But this was just his idea.

That was the reason why he came here today. He ordered everyone to leave this place because he did not want anyone else to know except Dong-Kuang, whom he trusted the most to stay as his escort and deal with anyone around to protect his secrets.
