Hidden Moth-Chapter 474 - 268: Private Whisperings in the Temple or Dream Listening_2

He Kao: "Of course I will do my best, but if someone wants to deal with Elder Mei, the ones who act should not be simple. I’m afraid I’m not a match, and if something goes wrong..."

Elder Li glanced at him: "You’re at least a High-tier Sorcerer, why are you so cowardly?"

He Kao: "It’s not cowardice, it’s caution, it’s preparing for the worst... If a master comes, I’m afraid my shoulders can’t bear the weight!"

Li Xiuyuan: "The Ancestral Hall won’t just rely on you! If you can’t win a fight, so be it. As a Hidden Moth, tracking, surveillance, gathering intelligence, sending signals for help, who is more suitable than you? You can mention whatever compensation you want."

He Kao quickly said: "I didn’t mean that."

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand: "The Ancestral Hall never summons anyone for free, there is always corresponding compensation. I heard you recently need Awakening Incense, and I know you’re too shy to ask; I’ll make the decision, it will be provided by the Ancestral Hall."

He Kao: "Well, how could I possibly accept that?"

Li Xiuyuan: "No need to be shy, is ten tubes of Awakening Incense enough? The Ancestral Hall doesn’t have much in stock; not many people refine it, and its materials have other uses."

Those words are true; the materials Cold Needle Jade and Celestial Palace Curtain can also be used to refine many other Spirit Medicines, for example, Cold Needle Jade is included in the alchemy formula for Spirit Awakening Pill.

He Kao: "If that’s the case, I’ll provide the materials myself, and the Ancestral Hall can find someone to help with the refining. I originally planned to refine it myself and have already found the materials."

Li Xiuyuan: "Since you provide the materials yourself, it saves a lot of trouble. Do you have any other requests?"

He Kao swallowed and said: "If possible, could you also get me more Spirit Awakening Pills? Last time there were only a bottle of twelve, it feels too little."

Li Xiuyuan: "Did you also feed a whole warren of rabbits? Never mind, I won’t ask, just want to remind you not to have any expectations... I’ll give you five more bottles. This stuff is left by ancestors, don’t waste it casually."

The Magic Sect is not a company, and Magic Sect disciples are not employed staff. On ordinary days, disciples with positions in sect institutions have various arrangements for their compensation.

But sorcerers like He Kao and Qian Guran usually have no positions in sect institutions. If temporarily summoned by the Ancestral Hall, there would typically be compensation according to convention.

If He Kao accepts compensation, it represents accepting the summons, and he must not slack off.

He Kao originally didn’t expect any labor compensation, actually, even without these benefits, he should help out with some things. But Elder Li insisted on giving it, so he’d better accept, to not break the Ancestral Hall’s rules.

Elder Li came prepared today, and had ten tubes of Awakening Incense with him, he gave them on the spot. As for the materials for refining Awakening Incense and another five bottles of Spirit Awakening Pill, they can be discussed later.

He Kao put away the Awakening Incense and said: "Actually, Elder Mei taught me that Sword Control Skill, I don’t know how to repay."

Li Xiuyuan: "That’s a private interaction between you two, unrelated to the official matters of the Ancestral Hall... Did you specifically meet me today just to talk about this?"

He Kao: "Of course not just these, I also encountered some situations in my recent cultivation, inexplicably mastering a Divine Technique only seen in novels, capable of transference into a Celestial Palace Curtain... Why do you look at me with that expression?"

He Kao introduced his latest attempt, feeling uncertain, unsure of the concerns related to similar Divine Techniques, hence seeking Elder Li’s advice.

Elder Li frowned at him, exhaling deeply after a long while: "You sure know how to make trouble! You speak so cautiously, yet act so recklessly?"

He couldn’t find suitable adjectives, even speaking in a Northeast dialect, but he wasn’t from Northeast China.

He Kao said sheepishly: "I just had a moment of inspiration, tried it out impulsively."

Elder Li glared at him and said: "Various Applied Techniques passed down by the Magic Sect seems simple, but they have been repeatedly experimented and verified by generations of ancestors to summarize the safest and most stable cultivation path, identifying various taboos and concerns.

There’s no acting as rashly as you do; you’re risky right from the start... Never mind, the Hidden Moth Sect has been extinct for a millennium, and many things no one can teach you, but you can’t continue like this in the future, first thoroughly cultivate the legacy you have received."

He Kao originally wanted to ask about the concerns of Yin Spirit Transmigration, but Elder Li had never practiced this Divine Technique either. Yet a master is a master, based on He Kao’s description, he analyzed and provided a series of reference suggestions.

First, the Yin Spirit must match the innate form of itself; the safest transference object is surely human, not even beasts should be easily chosen.

He Kao recklessly transferred into a vine, which was too dangerous, and the fact that no major problem occurred was pure luck.

Secondly, the Primordial Spirit Clarity of Tier Three Cultivators can immediately detect any "foreign" intrusion. If detected, it means transference failed, He Kao’s Yin Spirit not only would be expelled but could also be harmed.

Injury to the Primordial Spirit is very difficult to heal.

Transference for Tier Three Sorcerers involves such risks; attempting transference into Tier Six masters like Li Xiuyuan is tantamount to seeking death, possibly being extinguished by a single thought.

Therefore, the best transference targets are ordinary people. Although theoretically Tier One or Two Sorcerers are possible, it’s best not to attempt to avoid unexpected situations.

The main use of transference is to feel with another’s body, able to enter places normally inaccessible, discovering many secrets.
