Starting with the consumables of the Demonic Sect, one can barely achieve immortality.

The Hidden Mist Secret Technique.

Yan Cheng's words were meant to provoke her into handing over the item as soon as possible.

The palace had already begun to close the net, and it was too risky to leave the silk weaver in his room to recover from her injuries.

But if I let her leave like this, wouldn't all the risks I've taken these past few days have been for nothing?

The payment for "Hidden Mist and Concealed Origin Technique" was originally proposed by the Silk Weaver herself, so Yan Cheng wasn't afraid of forcing her to turn against him.

As fellow disciples of the Immortal Sect, he couldn't trust empty words and was determined to make the Silk Weaver fulfill her promise ahead of schedule.

Yan Cheng asked:

"Can you predict whether the next time a road appears in the sea of ​​fog, it will be daytime or nighttime?"

The silk weaver replied:

"The moon penetrates the void and dispels illusions, driving away clouds and chasing away mist. Whenever a gap appears in the sea of ​​mist, it is surely the time when the bright moon hangs high."

"I am imbued with mist, which allows me to sense where the way out is. Although the moment the sea of ​​mist bursts open is brief, it is enough for me to run out of the mist."

"Moreover, it's the first and fifteenth of the lunar month, so the moonlight lasts longer and the roads are open for even longer."

"But...why do you ask that?"

Yan Cheng shook his head without answering, a glint of divine light flashing in his eyes.

The silk weaver's plan didn't sound very reliable.

For example, her statement that the fog sea burst open because of the Taiyin breaking through illusions was clearly just information she obtained from who-knows-where.

Otherwise, how can we explain that the sea of ​​fog sometimes waits until dawn before bursting open, even illuminating more than ten corpse cultivators who exploded and died?

If the burst of light does not mean that the way out of the foggy sea is open, only when the moon shines can a path be found.

Then those sinister creatures in the Hall of Longevity could use this to deduce when the Weaver Girl would escape and lay a trap in advance.

The more you think about it, the more it seems like a trap, but the silk weaver has no choice but to step into it.

Knowing that there was no way out in the palace, how could she just let the opportunity to escape slip away?

What's even more frustrating is that Yan Cheng has also been drawn into this deadly scheme.

Moreover, half of it was voluntary on his part.

What has always troubled him is the inability to judge the exact moment when the sea of ​​fog emerges, and the inability to know whether it will be sunlight or moonlight shining in.

Now that he has the Weaver Girl who can sense the movement of the fog sea, he can take advantage of the fact that the high cultivators' attention is all on her to catch a glimpse of the bright moon in the sky beyond the boundless fog!

While the risks of doing so are considerable, the potential rewards are immeasurable.

According to the "Chapter on the Corpse Path of the Upper Yin Heaven", a Yin-body corpse cultivator must undergo nine rounds of moonlight tempering before their physique can be improved to the limit of a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

For days, the Hidden Immortal Mirror has continued to produce the Moon Laurel Pure Yin Mystic Essence at regular intervals every night.

The moon's reflection in the mirror no longer possessed the power to temper the body.

Yan Cheng was well aware that his current physical constitution was not yet sufficient to make steady progress on the path of cultivation.

For the sake of his future path, he had to take a gamble and try to practice the "Gathering Spirit and Qi" technique under real moonlight to undergo a second moonlight tempering!

This might be the greatest opportunity he could gain through the silk weaver incident.

As a junior cultivator, the gambling mentality of desperately wanting to turn his life around completely dominated his mind. He was fully aware of this, yet he was also happy to indulge in it.

At this point, there is no need for further words.

"There are still twelve nights until the first day of next month. During these twelve nights, you can rest and recuperate here in peace."

"I need that incantation right now."

The silk weaver remained silent, and with both hands, she untied her robe.

The skin on his back, as pale as snow on a cold mountain, was etched with an intricate array of runes, forming a perfect circle shaped like a full moon.

Yan Cheng was unfamiliar with the art of talismans and arrays, but he could still see that these runes were profound and obscure.

Let alone a layman like him, even a seasoned cultivator who has practiced for many years would probably be blind to it at a glance.

This is the downside of using overly sophisticated methods.

Having witnessed his Yin Star Flame, the Silk Weaver clearly regarded him as a lucky person who had encountered a fortuitous event and possessed a superior inheritance.

She never imagined that he wouldn't understand the rune array behind her.

Thinking of this, Yan Cheng couldn't help but sigh that the environment in which the Silk Weaver Girl used to live was too closed off, and she lacked understanding of the customs and traditions of the Immortal Sect.

What kind of adventures could there be in this godforsaken place?

These are all traps dug by those superior cultivators. You can fall into them and they'll kill you without leaving a trace.

An old cultivator who thought he had received a divine message in a dream still has many of his belongings in Yan Cheng's arms.

Besides, he didn't need any extraordinary encounters; the Hidden Immortal Mirror was his greatest adventure.

The talisman array reflected in the mirror was quickly analyzed and transformed into segments of scripture.

It was the "Hidden Mist Concealing Origin Technique" that allowed the Silk Weaver to escape the Yin Puppet's encirclement and killing!

The mystery of this technique is in no way inferior to the "Moon Wheel Refining Flower Seal," and far surpasses any escape technique that ordinary corpse cultivators can obtain.

Such profound and wondrous techniques, yet the silk weavers didn't even need to take out the Yin Corpse Fiend to exchange for them; they even cultivated themselves through the talisman array on their backs.

This treatment is really too much for the consumables companies, isn't it?

The Emperor is sparing no expense to support them; he must have other plans in mind...

Yan Cheng formed a moon wheel seal with his hands to calm his mind and focused his attention on studying the scriptures in the mirror.

The "Hidden Mist Concealing Origin Technique" uses a wisp of uncertain mist within a cultivator's body as its foundation. Cultivators must first become familiar with the changes in the form of mist, and then master the technique of transforming it into mist to avoid disasters and calamities.

The art of escape itself requires extremely high cultivation. Unless one has inscribed talismans on their body like the silk weavers, it is equivalent to being forcibly infused with knowledge of the incantation.

Simply figuring out the mysteries of the transformation of mist is enough to take an ordinary cultivator with limited understanding a lifetime.

"This technique is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if a person with exceptional talent were to succeed by chance, they would only acquire an extremely sophisticated method of avoiding danger, the benefits of which would not even cover the costs."

"Its wonder lies in the high level of the Unchanging Mist itself, which blocks aura and obscures perception, and also in the method of containing the mist inherent in the technique."

"But once you master this technique, you will be beyond the perception of all other spells and magical artifacts, which is equivalent to initially breaking free from the control of the palace."

"Whoever created these silk-weaving women could simply stuff the ethereal mist into their bodies, without allowing them to master the art of transforming into mist; it would suffice if they could only produce mist periodically."

"They spared no expense in inscribing runes on their bodies, forcing the silk weavers to master the techniques, as if they were afraid the weavers wouldn't escape!"

Yan Cheng slightly opened his eyes, his gaze calmly sweeping over the weaver's pale back:

"The rune array behind her is incomplete, her escape technique transforms slowly, and the gaps between each use are quite long, limiting its effectiveness in actual combat."

'No wonder she possessed such skills, yet she was still severely injured by a single claw from the Corpse-Eating Shadow Puppet.'

"That makes sense. If they were to fully master it, they would likely truly escape the control of the court!"

"The Hidden Immortal Mirror has deduced and completed the incomplete parts of the technique. After mastering it, one can instantly disperse into mist, which will then recombine into a solid form within ten steps of the body."

"Now this truly means that even deadly energy cannot be added, and weapons cannot reach the body."

"However, to master this technique, in addition to the Unstable Mist, the cultivator must also contain a spiritual object called the Mist Raven Feather."

"In this godforsaken place where even the light of the sun and moon can't penetrate for most of the day, where would anyone find a crow's feather to shelter from!"
