You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

After a full five hours, At this moment, Lin Yue finally felt the speed at which he absorbed the Five Elements Essence suddenly slow. His physical body and Primordial Power seemed to be 'sated', no longer craving the Five Elements Essence as much, and the speed of his transformation also came to a complete halt. "The transformation is over..." Lin Yue slowly exhaled a breath and opened his eyes. The world before him was different. The corpses at the entrance of the Cave Mansion, just a few meters away from him, even the hairline cracks on their bones were crystal clear to his eyes. And the darkness of the cave seemed no longer an obstacle to his sight, with the faint light emanating from the Cave Mansion, he could even see the rice-grain-sized indentations on the distant stone walls within the darkness. His vision was so much stronger than before. His hearing was the same, he could clearly hear the sound of blood flowing in his veins and the powerful beating of his heart. He could also unmistakably hear the heartbeat and breathing of Yu Shiqi not far away. Moreover, there was a special perception, a perception of the vitality in the air, which allowed him to sense the powerful presence of Yu Shiqi, which was many times stronger than his own. The Water, Fire, and Wind Primordial Power within him were also much more vigorous than in the past. If it was like a tiny stream before, now it was a vast flowing river, giving him a feeling of surging power. "Is this what it feels like to be a Martial Cultivator?" Lin Yue couldn't help but be inwardly shocked, "Indeed, ignorance is bliss; I actually poisoned and killed a Martial Cultivator before, just one misstep and they could have killed me with a flick of their fingers..." He now understood why Baili Fengzhi and that Deputy Commander Chu didn't punish him or do anything. Because there was simply no need. If he hadn't taken Elixirs in advance to control his heartbeat and blood flow, in the presence of the terrifying perception of a Martial Cultivator, any slight irregularity in his breathing, heartbeat, or blood flow, no matter how small, would have been glaringly obvious! Interrogation under torture would only lead to more chaotic breathing and heartbeat, making it even harder to perceive the abnormality. This is the horror of shedding one's mortal body! "Your Highness, did you complete your transformation so quickly?" Yu Shiqi looked at Lin Yue with some surprise, "It's only been five hours." "The Prince Bloodline of the Xiahong family, and also the dense Essence in this Cave Mansion, it makes sense for it to be quick," Lin Yue said nonchalantly. "That's not normal." Yu Shiqi immediately shook her head, "When Master followed the Sixteenth Prince, he also witnessed the Prince's first Sky-breaking transformation, and it took more than a dozen hours to complete, and the cultivation environment of the Prince Mansion is not worse than here." "Oh?" Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly. In fact, he also felt that his cultivation speed was unusually fast, much faster than Baili Fengzhi had estimated. Yu Shiqi tilted her head, examining Lin Yue, "Your Highness, besides the Prince Bloodline, it seems that many Spirit Veins must have opened up too, otherwise it makes no sense for it to be so quick." "Is that so?" Lin Yue was somewhat puzzled, "But I was born with blocked Spirit Veins." This was personally examined by the Drunken Beggar. "That's impossible..." Yu Shiqi became even more puzzled, asking, "Your Highness, can't you sense how many Spirit Veins you have?" Lin Yue carefully sensed for a moment and said, "I really don't seem to have Spirit Veins." He could feel that after the Essence from heaven and earth was absorbed into his body, there was no flow through the Spirit Veins as described in the Daoist texts, but instead seemed to roam wherever it wished at will. However, he suddenly recalled that the Blood Jade of Ten Thousand Spirits said that those with all Spirit Veins open had a higher chance of success, implying failure was also possible. But he didn't feel any difficulty at all, it seemed... incredibly smooth. "That's strange..." Yu Shiqi became even more confused. Lin Yue took a deep breath, pushing aside these doubts and asked, "How long have I been in seclusion?" "Um... Almost four days," Yu Shiqi replied, counting on her fingers. "It's been so long, not sure if Tantian Sect has left or not." Lin Yue frowned slightly and said, "We should head back to Qingdu as soon as possible. If Tantian Sect has left, then I no longer have bodyguards to accompany me to Di Hong City." "By the way, Your Highness..." Yu Shiqi suddenly said somewhat coyly, "If I pretend to be a Patrol Envoy, can I not speak? I've been practicing on my own these past two days and keep stuttering..." "I never intended for you to speak." Lin Yue smiled, "Just wear a veil to act as a Fairy, otherwise you'll definitely give us away." To expect pure heartedness and deceit? It was unrealistic from the start. "Keeping silent? Like an Ice Mountain Fairy? I can do that," Yu Shiqi's eyes lit up. "I'll take your word for it..." Lin Yue glanced at her and without delay infused his Primordial Power into the bone bracelet, 'Silent Bone'. Sure enough, after breaking the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier, he managed to activate it. Silent Bone contained a storage space, several times larger than the jade ring, albeit with few items inside. Aside from the Tantian Sect Leader Token, there were some miscellaneous items. Such as sect rules, disciple rosters and so on. There was also one item that seemed particularly special. With a flip of his hand, Lin Yue conjured an item in his palm. It was a piece of silk, layered and bundled, and after gently undoing the knot on top, he discovered that it wrapped around a pale phalanx that glowed with a faint light. "What is this?" Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows, suddenly noticing that the silk wrapping the phalanx was full of writing, prompting him to look closely. After a while, he finally understood, "A pledge? Di Hong City's treasure?" The phalanx was a special token that could serve as a credential to enter a secret treasure within Di Hong City. The silk also came with a list of the treasures and a brief description of each. Lin Yue immediately scrutinized the treasure list. "Huh?" Suddenly, an item called 'Oblivion of All Paths' caught his attention, causing his eyes to brighten. "The Drunken Beggar was rather lucky..." After much contemplation, he took a deep breath and made a decision. "It seems I must go to Di Hong City..." Lin Yue's form subtly shifted as he controlled the Wind Element within his body to gently float up from the bed and then quietly landed on the floor. "I hope Tantian Sect hasn't left yet; without these bodyguards, I'm a bit apprehensive about going to Di Hong City."
