Gradually, it had been a month since Lin Yi completed his first kill in the Flower Thief mission. He had undertaken a total of five missions, which, excluding travel time, generally took him about three days to complete each.

For four of the missions, when assured of isolation, he decided to shed his guise as ‘Little Goon’, revealing his true cultivation level, and then proceeded to kill his opponents. Yet even after a month, he still did not obtain the title he had imagined.

Lin Yi shook his head. Perhaps this title was just his wishful thinking. In the past month of missions, he had gained some combat experience and trophies, as well as nearly a thousand merit points.

He decided to halt the missions for now, concentrating instead on mastering the Divine Shadow Dharma. Over the past month, he had attempted to cultivate it, gaining some enlightenment through [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes].

Nonetheless, true mastery was not so easy to come by. After all, this was the Shadow Divine Skill capable of conjuring an illusion indistinguishable from a human being. It would probably be the guardian cultivation technique of many cultivation sects.

Just like the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind, he could currently only see the first three levels of the Divine Shadow Dharma. Based on knowledge obtained, the Divine Shadow Dharma required the use of all one’s spiritual power to conjure an illusion that integrates into one’s own shadow.

Although it appeared as simple as the Drawing in the Wind stage in the Wind

Transformation Technique, the cultivation process was enormously difficult.

It is shown in the previous notes that this Flower Thief has top-grade spiritual roots and is at least forty years old according to the timeframe of the notes.

Speaking of which, having top-grade spiritual roots but reaching only the sixth layer of cultivation in his forties seemed inappropriate.

Lin Yi guessed that this guy had likely spent most of his energy cultivating the Divine Shadow Dharma, which really twisted his mind. He didn’t seek the Immortal Way; he only sought to dominate others.

This showed the difficulty of cultivating the Divine Shadow Dharma. He felt that to some extent, it was harder to master than the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind.

However, now that [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes] has risen to the second tier, it can accumulate three days of enlightenment opportunities at a time. The same frustration and enlightenment can be superimposed, resulting in a much stronger enlightenment effect.

Nearly a year had passed since he entered the Inner Sect. The Spirit Grass in the medicinal field was about to be harvested. Over the past month of doing missions, Lin Yi did not allow any of them to exceed five days, ensuring that he could return to water the medicinal fields.

The six-acre field of Spirit Grass was thriving. Under the influence of the title [Little Farmer], the spiritual energy contained within was greater than that of ordinary Spirit Grass.

Since Spirit Grass is a type of herb and doesn’t bear fruit, the additive effect of production has turned into the length and weight of the entire Spirit Grass plant, while the quality is translated into the medicinal properties it contains.

The medicinal properties can only reach their peak through alchemy. If you cook or eat Spirit Grass directly, you can’t fully convert it into pure spiritual energy; instead, more than half of the medicinal properties would be wasted.

The next two types of Spirit Grass can also be harvested for alchemy within a year. However, the quantity planted per acre is less than that of Spirit Grass, and the price is much higher.

As he was mainly learning alchemy, having enough medicinal properties was sufficient. The medicinal properties of the Spirit Grass he was currently cultivating, under the influence of the title, had all slightly exceeded the norm.

In the future, he would see the purchase price offered by the Pill Hall, and if possible, he would sell off these high-quality Spirit Grass and exchange them for those with sufficient medicinal properties for his alchemy studies.

In the next period, besides tending to the medicinal field, Lin Yi devoted himself entirely to cultivating the Divine Shadow Dharma. Each failure to master it brought enlightenment through frustration, which he accumulated until three days had passed, at which point he utilized all at once.

The accumulation over three days, coupled with the effect of the second-tier title’s enlightenment effect, deepened his understanding of Divine Shadow

Dharma. He began to try to use all of his spiritual power to conjure the illusion.

Only if the illusion is conjured can one be considered to have truly mastered the Divine Shadow Dharma. If mastering the Wind Transformation Technique was difficult from start to end, then Divine Shadow Dharma is difficult at first, but becomes easier to cultivate later on.

A month flew by quickly, and Lin Yi had already experienced enlightenment ten times, once every three days. Although he understood the Divine Shadow Dharma more and more, he always fell short of the final push.

He contemplated his current situation. He had two options: one was to utilize the enlightenment effect of [Color is Void], and the other was to enter into the Minor Blessing state to increase his luck and fortitude, thereby achieving mastery.

After a slight deliberation, Lin Yi decided to use [Small Compassion] to consume Virtue Points and enter into the Minor Blessing State because the Divine Shadow Dharma, a lifesaver, is a cryptic spell.

If others were to discover it, it would lead to unnecessary troubles and expose his secret. Especially in the chaotic Flower Moon Land, who knew if the inebriated girls might disclose this information. He would not trust any verbal assurances.

Lin Yi came out of his Cave Mansion and smiled at the sight of the three types of Spirit Grass ready for alchemy. The plan to learn alchemy was to proceed next, and life was becoming busier.

He now understood why Foundation Building Cultivators or Golden Core Real Persons would hermit for many years, or even decades. Apart from cultivation, they also needed to practice magic techniques and refine their skills..
