There were quite a few concealment techniques, but most of them were about body movements or footwork. After searching for a long time, she had not seen any techniques that could conceal her cultivation level.
"Is there no magic that can hide one's cultivation?"
Xu Chunniang put down the spell in her hand, and picked up a new spell with some helplessness. After opening it and reading a few pages, she shook her head and threw it aside. "There is actually a book about concealing spiritual energy..."
"Hey, wait!"
Xu Chunniang hurriedly picked up the book of magic that she had just thrown away and read it carefully again.
"Hidden Spirit Technique, after practicing it, one can control the spiritual energy around the body, thereby achieving the effect of hiding one's cultivation level. Up to three levels of cultivation level can be hidden. It can only be hidden from cultivators of the same level, and is ineffective against cultivators of higher levels."
Seeing this, Xu Chunniang showed a look of relief on her face.
She was so tired of looking for the book. Isn't hiding spiritual energy the same as hiding cultivation? She almost threw the book away.
“Finally found it!”
After Xu Chunniang picked up the "Hidden Spirit Art", she walked towards the earth-related magic area. Since she had finally come to the Scripture Pavilion, she might as well pick up some earth-related magic as well.
It is not difficult to find earth-based auxiliary spells, but the difficulty lies in how to choose the right one from the many spells.
She picked and chose, compared many techniques, and finally found a book called "Soil Moisturizing Technique".
"The Soil Moistening Technique, after being cast, can transform one's own spiritual power into earth spiritual energy, thereby improving the soil and making the spiritual energy in the soil more abundant."
Okay, this is it.
Holding two books of magic, Xu Chunniang went to the manager's office of the Transmission Pavilion to prepare to make rubbings.
The female nun manager glanced at the two books of magic on the table. After seeing the red book "Hidden Spirit Technique", a hint of surprise appeared in her calm eyes.
The cultivation level of the disciple in front of him was only at the second level of Qi training. One could tell at a glance that he was a new disciple.
She rarely spoke up and reminded him, "Although the Hidden Spirit Art can hide your cultivation, it is only effective when you don't use your spiritual energy. Once you fight with others and lose control of your spiritual energy, it will be difficult to hide your cultivation."
Having said this, the housekeeper paused.
Naturally, there are people who can fight without revealing their true abilities by using the Hidden Spirit Technique to conceal their abilities. However, it is difficult to do this, and she does not think that a minor Qi practitioner can do it.
"Your current cultivation is low, so there is no need to hide your cultivation. It would be more practical to choose other techniques."
Xu Chunniang was slightly stunned. She didn't know that "Hidden Spirit Art" had such a limitation.
However, she looked through all the spells related to concealment and was very sure that only this spell could achieve the effect of hiding one's cultivation.
So after a slight hesitation, Xu Chunniang quickly nodded again.
"Disciple is sure. I will choose these two."
Seeing this, the female steward said no more and just raised her eyelids, "Ten spirit stones."
She only reminded him because she saw that this disciple had reached the second level of practice after only half a year, which was rare among the outer disciples. Since this disciple was determined to choose the Hidden Spirit Technique, she would not stop him.
Xu Chunniang took out all the spirit stones in the storage bag, exactly ten.
The female steward gently brushed her hand on the table, and the spirit stone disappeared. Then, two brand new jade slips appeared in his hands.
Not long after, she placed the jade slip she had copied on the table and said calmly, "As per the old rules, the magic is strictly forbidden to be passed on to others. Those who violate the rules will bear the consequences themselves."
Xu Chunniang took the jade slip and nodded carefully.
After returning to her residence, Xu Chunniang decided to put the Chunsheng Technique aside and practice the "Hidden Spirit Technique" first.
She could only receive a maximum of two months' supply of fasting pills at a time, so she had to go to the dining hall once every two months.
Learn the Hidden Spirit Technique as soon as possible and hide your cultivation so as not to attract attention.
There are three levels of Hidden Spirit Art. Each time you learn a level, you can hide a level of your cultivation. The key is the word "hide".
Putting down the jade slip, Xu Chunniang's eyes flashed with thought.
"By suppressing and hiding the spiritual energy in the body, reducing the fluctuation of the spiritual energy, it creates a false impression of a lower level of cultivation. If it is just suppressing the spiritual energy, it is a bit difficult, but I am somewhat confident that I can do it."
After saying this, Xu Chunniang concentrated her energy into her dantian and suppressed the spiritual energy in her body.
After practicing the Spirit Rain Technique thousands of times, Xu Chunniang had become extremely skilled and precise in controlling the spiritual energy, and she was able to compress the spiritual energy in her body by half without much effort.
However, the compressed spiritual energy did not reduce fluctuations as Xu Chunniang had imagined. Instead, due to the compression, the fluctuations became more violent.
Her actual cultivation level is that she has just broken through the second level of Qi training.
The pressure revealed by the current fluctuations of spiritual energy was actually a little stronger than before, giving people the feeling that it was not a cultivation level that had just broken through.
"Something is wrong... The spiritual energy fluctuations are getting stronger."
Xu Chunniang frowned and sensed it, then gave up the control of the spiritual energy. Suddenly, the suppressed spiritual energy slowly spread out and returned to its original state.
She picked up the jade slip again and began to study it.
"It clearly says that suppressing the spiritual energy can reduce the fluctuation of the spiritual energy, but why is it that after I compressed the spiritual energy, the fluctuation of the spiritual energy became more intense?"
Xu Chunniang's eyes flashed with confusion, and she tried again, but the result was the same as before.
"Try compressing it again! After compressing the spiritual energy to the extreme, new changes may appear!"
While feeling the fluctuations of the spiritual energy, Xu Chunniang increased the compression of the spiritual energy. Soon, the spiritual energy was compressed twice, three times...
Correspondingly, the pressure from the fluctuations of spiritual energy became more and more intense!
"Hasn't reached the turning point yet?" Beads of sweat appeared on Xu Chunniang's forehead. At this moment, the spiritual energy in her body had been compressed to an astonishing five times!
The originally light spiritual energy became visibly thicker under the compression of five times the intensity.
The spiritual pressure emanating from her body had reached the peak of the second level of Qi training, and was only a step away from the third level.
Xu Chunniang was vaguely aware that something was wrong, but since her spiritual energy had not been completely compressed, she would not stop.
Compress, continue to compress... Under her control, the spiritual energy under the five-fold compression environment began to change again!
The spiritual energy pressure that had been at the peak of the second level of Qi training suddenly changed, as if it had broken through some kind of barrier. The pressure increased by more than two times and reached the third level of Qi training!
Xu Chunniang was very tired. She put all her mind into compressing the last amount of spiritual energy, and spent five times more time and energy than before before barely succeeding. She had no time to pay attention to the fluctuations of her own spiritual energy.
After she recovered and felt it carefully, Xu Chunniang couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.
"What's going on? How come the spiritual pressure on me has become so strong? It's almost three times my own strength! This kind of spiritual pressure can only be emitted by a cultivator at the third level of Qi training, right?"
Realizing this, Xu Chunniang felt dizzy.
She had clearly practiced the "Hidden Spirit Art" to conceal the spiritual pressure and thus hide her true level of cultivation. How come after practicing, the spiritual pressure actually increased instead of decreased
"Something must have gone wrong."
Xu Chunniang removed her suppression of the spiritual energy, and immediately, the spiritual energy that had been compressed to the extreme instantly dissipated in all directions.
As the spiritual energy dissipated, the spiritual pressure on her body gradually decreased, from the third level of Qi training to the peak of the second level, and then to the late stage of the second level...
Finally, it was lowered to the early stage of the second level of Qi training, which was in line with her cultivation level.
Feeling the change in the spiritual pressure around her, Xu Chunniang's eyes showed a hint of enlightenment, "So that's how it is, I understand!"
She closed her eyes and gently pushed the spiritual energy out!
Then her aura changed, and she looked like she was shaky at the second level of Qi training and was about to fall to the first level.
Xu Chunniang pressed hard again, and soon after, her cultivation level instantly "dropped" to the peak of the first level of Qi training, and then to the late, middle, and initial levels of the first level of Qi training, and finally, spiritual energy entered her body!
Xu Chunniang still felt that she had not achieved enough. It was much easier to suppress the spiritual energy outwards than to compress it inwards.
It’s just that her cultivation has been suppressed to the lowest level and cannot be suppressed any further.
Feeling the spiritual energy around her, she murmured to herself, "It seems that at present, the lowest I can do is to suppress it to the level of Qi entering the body."
