Even more surprising was the grade of this cultivation technique, which was an Earth Grade cultivation technique.

"This..."

Qin Yi did not expect his Senior Brother to be willing to give him an Earth Grade cultivation technique.

Are Earth Grade martial skills just ordinary things in this person's eyes?

Why do I feel that he just casually took it out?

"Your cloak is good, but after all, it's just a Normal Artifact, and it only affects the Qi Condensation Realm. For a cultivator of my level, even without using eye abilities like mine, it's easy to spot you."

"In other words, this artifact of yours is useless in front of Foundation Establishment cultivators or above."

"This cultivation technique can help you to fill the gaps in your artifact. Once you master it, even if it's only to Small Accomplishments, you can suppress the breath and Qi that is leaking from your body. It also has the function of suppressing your cultivation base to as low as possible."

Qin Yi looked at Li Hai doubtfully.

"This is an Earth Grade cultivation technique, is Senior Brother sure he wants to give this to me?"

Li Hai explained carelessly, "Even though it's Earth Grade, it's just a breathing technique, not a martial skill, it's of no use to me. So, I might as well just pass it to someone who is good at concealment arts like you. After all, it might be helpful in your mission."

Qin Yi sighed and said, "It doesn't matter how great the use of this cultivation technique is; it is utterly useless in front of you, Senior Brother."

"Not completely. Suppressing and disguising are two different terms. For example, if you only suppress your cultivation base from the Second Stage of Qi Condensation to the First Stage of Qi Condensation, then I would not figure it out right away unless I make an effort to look at it. However, if you're disguising your original cultivation base to a higher stage, then I'll find out right away since it is deceptive."

Li Hai explained it in less detail, but it was easy for listeners to understand.

Oh?

As expected, Qin Yi's interest in this cultivation technique was piqued.

For a technique that could put even his Senior Brothers into trouble, of course, he had to master it even if he had to spend all his points.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Li, I will study this cultivation technique well and carry out my mission!"

"Well, I'll trust you. If you really can complete this mission, I'll give you another reward."

Li Hai said with a smile.

He acted so generously that it somehow made Qin Yi afraid.

Is it possible that this mission is actually very difficult?

Forget it, Since Qin Yi had already accepted it, there's no point in regretting it now.

After seeing that his Junior Brother didn't say anything else, Li Hai spoke again.

"Alright, my business here is done, but I still have other work to do in another place. As for you, your punishment will start tomorrow. So for now, I'll drive you back to the city and back to the sect by yourself."

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

After that, the two of them immediately met up with Wu Kun and the Village Chief.

Li Hai left a few messages for the two of them before bidding farewell to them.

***

On Jin Shen's shoulder, Qin Yi saw the panorama of the land from above and couldn't help but ask his senior brother.

"Senior Brother Li, may I ask you something?"

"Hmm?" Li Hai turned to his junior Brother and responded, "Just ask!"

Since Li Hai allowed it, Qin Yi didn't hesitate to ask something that had been stuck in his heart for a long time.

"What grade is this Senior Brother's sword artifact? I've never seen an artifact that can transform into a creature. What's more, it seems to have exceptionally high intelligence from what I see from its eyes. Could it be a Soul Artifact?"

"Oh? You know Soul Artifacts?"

Qin Yi shook his head as he answered honestly.

"No, but I know that an artifact grade above that Spirit Artifact is a Soul Artifact. However, I don't know much about it."

Li Hai was silent for a while before he explained.

"Soul Artifact is a grade where an artifact is entering the spirit development stage. However, to enter this stage, the user needs to make a contract with the Soul Artifact first; otherwise, it will remain as a half-state Soul Artifact or better known as a Semi-Soul Artifact."

"A contract? Semi-Soul Artifact?

Qin Yi's two eyes lit up the moment he heard these terms.

He has two Semi-Soul Artifacts, but due to his limited knowledge, he doesn't know what Semi-Soul Artifacts are and how to turn them into Soul Artifacts. In the end, he could only leave it like that for the time being.

As expected, asking Li Hai was the perfect opportunity to find out what a Semi-Soul Artifact was.

Here Li Hai continued his explanation without discerning the hidden meaning of his Junior Brother.

"Semi-Soul Artifact is a state where the Soul Artifact can only show half of the artifact's ability. To fully exert it, the user needs to perform a ritual contract with the artifact."

"What kind of contract is that, Senior Brother?"

"The contract is actually quite simple. The user only needs to drop a few drops of blood and then split a small portion of the soul and fuse it with the artifact. Once it is fully merged, the artifact will gradually enter the spirit development stage..."

Meanwhile, Li Hai also revealed that the spirit development stage is divided into three stages: Spirit Initialization Stage, Spirit Manifestation Stage, and Great Spirit Stage.

The Initialization Spirit Stage is the stage when the user successfully fuses his split soul with the artifact. Gradually creates a spirit that by following the split soul's characteristics.

Once the spirit of the artifact is created, it will take on a spiritual body form and gradually develop wisdom. This stage was called the Spirit Manifestation Stage.

The last stage was the Great Spirit Stage; it was the stage when the artifact possessed a high wisdom spirit and was even able to speak. Once the artifact reaches this stage, its overall ability will also increase.

After Li Hai finished explaining the stages of a Soul Artifact in detail, Qin Yi finally understood what a Soul Artifact was.

He assumed that Li Hai's Soul Artifact should have already reached the Spirit Manifestation Stage. After all, even though it had wisdom, it still couldn't speak.

As for the two Soul Artifacts that belonged to him, they were still in the Semi-Soul Artifact state.

However, after listening to Li Hai's detailed explanation of Soul Artifacts, he finally knew how to get rid of this "Semi-Soul Artifact" status and turn Mystical Garden and War Beart Puppet into genuine Soul Artifacts.

However, he also heard a warning from his Senior Brother that splitting a part of the soul was not recommended while the user was still in the Qi Condensation Realm.

That was because the soul belonging to the Qi Condensation Realm was fragile. If it were forcibly split, they would end up in a coma or even death.

Only when the user reaches at least Foundation Establishment Realm can they withstand the backlash from soul splitting.

It seems like I need to increase my cultivation base faster!

Qin Yi said in his heart.

Since he had obtained the Turtle Breathing Technique, he could freely increase his cultivation base without worrying about the views of others.

Once his cultivation increased, he would continuously suppress his cultivation base to Qin Yi's normal stage. Unless he met a high-level cultivator or someone like Li Hai, no one would be able to guess his actual cultivation base.

However, even Li Hai said he himself couldn't figure it out right away unless he put in an effort. Hence, the only thing Qin Yi needed to do was to act normal whenever he met Li Hai.

The conversation between them continued as Qin Yi didn't want to waste the opportunity not to ask his Senior Brother some questions that he still had doubts about.

And Li Hai is very generous as he answered all questions from his junior brother patiently.

Just like that, the two of them finally arrived at their destination, and Li Hai dropped Qin Yi in front of the city gate.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Li, for driving me back to the city!"

Qin Yi immediately cupped his fists in a sense of gratitude.

Meanwhile, Li Hai just waved his hand casually and lightly gave a reminder to his junior brother.

"Junior brother, don't forget that your mission starts from tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I'll keep that in mind!"

As soon as Qin Yi replied, Li Hai had already flown far with his Golden Dragon.
