Hidden moth

Chapter 349 People's ambitions are high and unrestrained.

Lan Jiuwan was very clever and immediately understood He Kao's meaning. She frowned slightly and said, "But I am not only a disciple of the Hidden Moth Sect, but also the legal representative of Jiuliang Manufacturing. Jiuliang Manufacturing is doing quite well."

He Kao said after careful consideration, "Jiuliang Manufacturing is indeed very well managed. When I first established this company, I wanted to have a sect business, and more importantly, to provide for sect disciples like you and Ye Liangchen."

You can continue to be the legal representative, and if you decide you don't want to continue, Ye Liangchen can take over in the future. However, having only this identity is no different from staying in the sect.

You just graduated from university last year, right? You're still very young. Once the construction of the cave is finished, I suggest you don't stay in the sect all day. Go out and experience more of the world and the life of a normal person. You can also continue your studies, such as taking the postgraduate entrance exam.

Your parents are still alive. You had no choice but to distance yourself from them and sever ties with them back then. Now that you can reconnect with them, it's up to you whether to accept them back, and how to accept them…”

He Kao stopped talking at this point because Lan Jiuwan's eyes were already slightly red, as if tears were welling up.

Seeing that Lan Jiuwan was in a bad mood, He Kao stopped talking. These things couldn't be forced. As long as the other party could listen, that was enough. He then took the initiative to change the subject and chatted about interesting things related to the construction of the cave and the operation of the company.

Lan Jiuwan's mood gradually improved, and she eventually smiled again. The two of them traveled quickly over mountains and valleys, and unknowingly used their supernatural powers to speed up their journey.

If we compare this to the actual terrain of Fengwei Township, we should be deep in the mountains behind Xianhu Village. He Kao finally stopped and pointed to a cliff face in front of him, saying, "Can you find anything over there?"

Lan Jiuwan: "It's nothing, just a cliff covered with vines... Wow, what a huge Heavenly Palace Curtain!"

He Kao laughed and said, "If you get closer and take a closer look, there is actually a cave behind the Heavenly Palace Curtain."

In its natural growth state, the Heavenly Palace Curtain has the spiritual effect of shielding divine sense. The longer and more luxuriant the vines grow, the better the effect of shielding divine sense. As a result, Lan Jiuwan did not discover the entrance to the Immortal Pot Palace from a distance.

Climbing the cliff face and parting the vines to enter the Immortal Pot Palace, Lan Jiuwan looked around and then exclaimed softly, "Wow, three bedrooms and two living rooms! What a wonderful place! Senior Brother has decorated it so comfortably!"

There are two large cave halls connected one after the other, and three cave rooms on the side. He Kao did not change the original natural appearance, but only moved some living facilities from outside, such as tables, chairs, beds, and a stove that only cultivators could use.

There were no lights in the cave originally, so He Kao personally laid out the wiring to connect it to electricity using a battery pack, the kind used in modern new energy vehicles. In addition to installing lighting facilities, he also brought in a computer and a large-screen projector.

He Kao laughed and said, "This is where I often cultivate and where I go into seclusion. Corresponding to the terrain of Phoenix Tail Township and the various grotto heavens of the magic sect in reality, it should be called Immortal Pot Palace."

The sect's shared secluded cultivation cave is not yet fully constructed. If any of you need to go into seclusion, you can come here. If I cannot be contacted while I am outside, I may also go into seclusion here.

I'm showing you around today so you can familiarize yourself with the place. Please tell them afterwards that no one should pick the *Heavenly Palace Curtain* growing on this cliff face or around it; just protect it where it is."

Since He Kao has opened the Piaocai Cave Heaven to the sect's disciples and started the cave heaven construction project, he should also tell the disciples that there is already a secluded cave here, and they should be careful to protect the Heavenly Palace Curtains on the cliff to prevent them from being accidentally picked while collecting herbs.

Lan Jiuwan asked, "How can I know if my senior brother is in seclusion here, so as not to disturb you?"

He Kao smiled and pointed to the Heavenly Palace Curtain at the cave entrance, saying, "It's very simple. Look at the leaves of those vines. If they are all spread outwards, it means I am cultivating in the cave."

Lan Jiuwan exclaimed in amazement, "So miraculous! This medicinal herb must be practically a spirit!"

He Kao laughed and said, "I don't know if it can become a spirit or not, but I've fed it a lot of Spirit Awakening Pills. Now you also have the cultivation of the fourth level. If you're interested, you can give it a try."

He Kao not only fed the Heavenly Palace Curtain with Qi Ling Dan, but also used a magical method of possession to have his Yin spirit leave his body and enter the Heavenly Palace Curtain, gaining all sorts of incredible sensations.

Over time, this Heavenly Palace Curtain seemed to have acquired a touch of "spirit".

The leaves of the Heavenly Palace Curtain are slender ovals, relatively thick, and have a waxy surface, which keeps them evergreen throughout the four seasons. Even in winter, they retain a deep green color and can cover the entire cliff face.

The leaves on the vines naturally face outwards to receive sunlight, but under natural conditions, they cannot be perfectly aligned.

Now, under He Kao's "instruction," it can change the orientation of the leaves for a period of time, so that they are all distributed parallel to the cliff face, appearing to be neatly spread out.

But the so-called "spirituality" is only this much. At present, He Kao can only make it do this much. After all, it is just an ancient vine and has not really become a spirit.

Lan Jiuwan was very interested and immediately asked how to feed an ancient vine with a magic pill. He Kao then carefully taught him the intricacies of the process.

The method of entrusting oneself to the ancient vine is too dangerous, so it cannot be taught to Lan Jiuwan. Moreover, Lan Jiuwan's cultivation of the Hidden Moth Technique has not yet broken through to the fourth level, and he has not yet mastered the Yin Spirit Traveling Divine Power, so he cannot learn it even if he wanted to.

It was simply a matter of helping the ancient vine "take" the pill; it wasn't complicated for her, and she could master it once she understood. As for the Spirit Awakening Pill, there were still some left, stored in the treasure cabinet in the cave hall.

Lan Jiuwan lowered her head and said, "Senior brother, this seems very similar to the process you used to help me remove the poison?"

He Kao nodded and said, "It is indeed very similar. I was inspired by this."

Lan Jiuwan twisted her fingers and whispered, "Senior brother, you haven't cleansed me of the poison in a long time. I'm afraid there's still some poison left. Could you try one more time..."

"The lingering effects haven't been eliminated?" He Kao didn't know how to respond, but since she'd already put it that way, he'd try again. Some topics today had reopened old wounds for Lan Jiuwan; perhaps this would help her adjust her mindset. ...

A week later, when He Kao saw Mr. Mi again, it was surprisingly on the campus of Qiyuan University.

Sitting on a bench next to a green belt, you can see teachers and students walking by from time to time in the distance. The weather in Qiyuan in early September is still quite hot, and everyone is dressed in light clothing.

The young men and women exuded youthful energy, creating a beautiful scene.

It was very quiet nearby, and there was no one else around except Mr. Mi.

He Kao appeared as Feng Zilong, and nodded as he approached, saying, "You've arrived early."

Mr. Mi gestured for him to sit down beside him, and replied with a smile, "I just arrived a little while ago."

He Kao: "Has the child's school enrollment been arranged already?"

Mr. Mi: "Everything is settled. He's an adult now, so I let him handle everything himself. I just watch from the sidelines."

Although he already knew the other person's identity, He Kao didn't reveal anything and asked, "You specifically asked me to meet here, is there anything I can help you with?"

The only thing He Kao could think of was to find a place to set up a Tai Chi Yin Yang formation so that Mr. Mi could bring his son and daughter to take the Pure Yang Pill, and he would help keep it a secret and protect them.

Mr. Mi said something inexplicable: "My son is named Henry Hu. He just turned eighteen and has not yet learned any magic. I only taught him some basic skills for conditioning his body and mind when he was young, and he has a pretty good foundation."

He Kao: "So what?"

Mr. Mi didn't speak, but instead fiddled with his phone with his head down. He sent a divine thought: "I hope he can join the Hidden Moth Sect and learn the Hidden Moth Technique."

These words greatly surprised He Kao, who quickly replied, "Although there are rumors that Yin'e has reappeared in the martial world, he has not yet officially returned to the sect, so I'm afraid we can't make arrangements for that."

Mr. Mi seemed to be constantly scrolling through his phone, but he was communicating with his mind: "I know this is not a good matter, and it's not for you, Mr. Huo Qing, to arrange it."

I simply want you to convey this idea to the members of the Clan Court or to one of the elders. If possible, I hope they can lend a hand.

He Kao: "I can pass on your message, but please don't have any hope that it will be implemented."

Mr. Mi: "I was just suggesting an idea. If it's not meant to be, then no one can force it."

He Kao was speechless for a moment. He never expected that this matter would come to him. Mr. Mi, also known as Hu Weidong, was a senior elder of the Supreme Council of the Xiaomeng. What kind of mind did he have to want his own son to join the Yin'e Sect?
But upon closer examination, this outlandish idea actually has a profound meaning. Given Mr. Mi's background, what kind of magic couldn't Henry learn? The only thing he couldn't learn was the art of hiding moths!
The Xiaomeng's magical inheritance is very complete. Even if the Lingxi lineage is a bit lacking, the basic techniques have still been passed down. But there is no inheritance of the Hidden Moth Technique... Not to mention the Xiaomeng doesn't have it, neither does any other magic sect!
The resurgence of the Hidden Moth and its subsequent recognition are only recent events, occurring within the last two years.

If his son were to be directly accepted into the school of magic, no matter what the choice was, Hu Hengli would either be a treacherous infiltrator or a traitor who betrayed the Alliance, and his situation would be precarious.

However, the situation is different when one joins the Hidden Moth Sect, which can be described as a dilemma that must be resolved.

Since the Hidden Moth Sect has not yet officially returned to the magic sect, the Sect Law Hall has only publicly extended an invitation to the Hidden Moth Sect.

In theory, the contemporary Hidden Moth is merely a wandering martial arts practitioner who has been fortunate enough to learn the Hidden Moth Technique. If the Hidden Moth can be brought into the Free Alliance through this method, or at least the inheritance of the Hidden Moth Technique can be brought back to the Free Alliance, this would be a great achievement.

Regardless of whether Mr. Mi had this purpose or not, he could give a perfect explanation to the Supreme Council, and even if word got out, they probably wouldn't be able to find any fault with it.

More importantly, the identities of Hidden Moth Sect disciples have always been kept secret, even within the sect itself.

But this is just wishful thinking on Mr. Mi's part, and he's perhaps a bit too optimistic.

After realizing what was happening, He Kao asked again, "The reappearance of Yin'e was about two years ago, and in the past year, the rumors about Yin'e have disappeared."

The Clan Law Hall only extended an invitation to Yin'e to return to the sect. There's only Yin'e in the rumors, no sect called Yin'e. Where did you hear this from?

Many people heard the news of Hidden Moth's resurgence two years ago, but apart from the members of Hidden Moth and the three elders, no outsiders knew about He Kao's later reconstruction of Hidden Moth Sect.

Mr. Mi's request was that Hu Hengli become a disciple of the Hidden Moth Sect, and the key information contained therein was "Hidden Moth Sect"!
If He Kao doesn't question this, it's tantamount to him acknowledging the existence of the Hidden Moth Sect. Based on his reaction, Hu Weidong can then deduce a great deal of important information.

Dealing with such a master can be a seemingly ordinary exchange, but every word must be carefully considered. Sometimes, even without being asked anything, you might inadvertently reveal a lot of secrets.

Hu Weidong explained, "The Hidden Moth Sect has a long history. Now that the Hidden Moth Sect has reappeared, it must still exist. Even if it doesn't exist now, as long as the Hidden Moth Sect recruits disciples, it will be a reconstruction of the Hidden Moth Sect."

He Kao reiterated: "All I can do is relay your words to the Clan Court."
