Chapter 2223: Chapter 1913: Deceit Pearl? What Is That?

What Prince Zhen Nan wants now is something that can completely conceal Lu Chen’s realm, as only such a treasure or cultivation technique can better protect Lu Chen.

However, finding a treasure or cultivation technique that can completely hide one’s realm is not an easy task. Despite having lived for so many years, he has never heard of any treasure or technique that could completely hide a person’s realm.

Many treasures can hide one’s aura, but if faced with highly advanced Spirit Martial Artists, one’s realm might still be easily discerned by them.

At this moment, Prince Zhen Nan said to Zhao Yu: "Have the Hidden Guard discreetly inquire if there’s a treasure that could perfectly conceal Chen’er’s realm, such that even Earth Realm experts can’t discern it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu was momentarily stunned. Like Prince Zhen Nan, he too has lived many years and never heard of a treasure capable of completely concealing realm aura. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Even if a treasure could conceal realm aura, it would be a relative concealment. If Lu Chen’s realm reaches the Earth Realm, he wouldn’t need a treasure to suppress his aura to make it difficult for other Earth Realm experts to discover.

Thus, the key to hiding one’s realm and aura is not treasures, but having a sufficiently high realm oneself.

Lu Chen is currently only at the Early Stage of the Human Realm. At this realm, even with the best realm-concealing treasure, he might still be detected by those Earth Realm experts.

Then, Prince Zhen Nan continued: "Before that, go to the treasury and fetch an Obscure Light Pearl for him to carry closely."

Zhao Yu immediately bowed and said: "Yes, my lord."

The Obscure Light Pearl can hide aura, although its effect isn’t outstanding, ordinary people can’t see through it.

As long as Lu Chen carries the Obscure Light Pearl, Spirit Martial Artists who aren’t highly advanced or those without special means, won’t be able to discern Lu Chen’s exact realm.

This can temporarily hide Lu Chen’s realm for a while, since external forces don’t dare to send too powerful individuals to probe the Zhen Nan Prince Manor at this time. As long as Lu Chen remains within the manor without leaving, even if spies are sent in, they won’t identify Lu Chen’s specific realm.

Zhao Yu, having received the order, promptly retreated to the Mansion’s treasury.

Soon, Zhao Yu appeared beside Lu Chen with a delicately crafted wooden box.

Lu Chen was at the moment in the underground prison breeding strange and malevolent entities, observing them.

These entities exude a thick Spirit Evil Qi, but before they die, Spirit Martial Artists cannot directly absorb the Spirit Evil Qi from them.

Just as Lu Chen was staring blankly at these entities, he suddenly sensed someone nearby and, coming to his senses, looked at Zhao Yu and said: "Commander Zhao, do you need me for something?"

Zhao Yu handed the wooden box to Lu Chen and said: "The Prince asked that you always keep this Obscure Light Pearl with you."

"Obscure Light Pearl?" Lu Chen once was just a common person and isn’t familiar with the Obscure Light Pearl, having hardly heard of it.

Zhao Yu explained directly: "The Obscure Light Pearl can hide realm, making it hard for ordinary people to detect."

"Your realm is advancing too quickly, if word gets out, the Zhen Nan Prince Manor will definitely draw more wariness from the Royal Family. By then, they might act against you."

Lu Chen said: "I see."

Lu Chen then took the wooden box from Zhao Yu’s hand and opened it.

In the center of the box was a black pearl; Lu Chen took the black pearl from the box and input Spirit Evil Qi into it. Soon, he clearly felt his Spirit Evil Qi being suppressed, and in a moment, he appeared just like a common person.

Lu Chen also noticed that the Obscure Light Pearl seems to adjust the concealed realm, as long as he inputs more Spirit Evil Qi, his realm can be exposed less.

Lu Chen said: "This pearl is good."

Zhao Yu reminded from the side: "Heir, while this Obscure Light Pearl can temporarily hide your realm, it might not work against experts with high realms or those Spirit Martial Artists using special means."

"Effectively keeping outsiders unaware of your realm means the heir should remain within the Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

Lu Chen said: "I understand."

Lu Chen had no intention of moving around; as the heir of Prince Zhen Nan, although not a Prince, his living conditions have already far exceeded those of ordinary aristocratic families.

Besides, the Zhen Nan Prince Manor has its own private army and Hidden Guard, he can have whatever he wants done by these people without needing to venture out.

Lu Chen at this moment glanced at the prison holding those strange and malevolent entities, then said: "From today on, bring some evil entities to my room every night."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu hesitated momentarily before tentatively asking: "Heir, what realm of evil entities do you plan on wanting?"

In this world of strange and malevolent entities, and across various cultivation systems, realms align with Spirit Martial Artists.

The evil entities too range from Mortal Realm to Human Realm...

Thus it is convenient for people to gauge the power gap between evil entities and themselves.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then asked: "For early-stage Human Realm, what type of evil corpses’ Spirit Evil Qi is best for absorption?"

Lu Chen did not plan to be overly ambitious, since absorbing the Lantern Deceit’s Spirit Evil Qi for the first time was indeed agonizingly painful, though dual cultivating with Bai Qingqing could suppress the pain caused by Spirit Evil Qi, yet if the Spirit Evil Qi from higher realm evil entities is even purer, suppressing such pain might not be manageable without their intimate acts.

Lu Chen wanted to see Zhao Yu’s perspective.

Zhao Yu thought for a while and then asked: "Is the heir planning a gradual approach or seeking a more aggressive, rapid power improvement?"

Zhao Yu hopes for Lu Chen to take a gradual route, ideally continuing to absorb Lantern Deceit’s Spirit Evil Qi for the next half-year.

But he doesn’t believe Lu Chen to be one who enjoys taking things slowly. After all, Lu Chen advanced from a common person to the Human Realm within a month’s time, making it unlikely to tread slowly.

Lu Chen said: "Naturally the quicker, the better."

Zhao Yu said: "If the heir hopes for a quicker realm enhancement, then absorbing the Spirit Evil Qi in Deceit Pearls is better, though the Spirit Evil in Deceit Pearls is very pure, making absorption more painful."

Lu Chen asked: "Deceit Pearl? What is that?"

Since having little contact with strange malevolent entities previously, Lu Chen wasn’t particularly familiar with them, and didn’t know what Deceit Pearls were, although he surmised those might be condensed materials within malevolent entities.

Zhao Yu at this time explained: "Deceit Pearls are condensed materials within the bodies of malevolent entities, typically only spirit realm malevolent entities can produce Deceit Pearls."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen couldn’t help but smile a little, finally a more dignified way to absorb Spirit Evil Qi.

He had thought that every evening while engaging with Bai Qingqing, he would need to face a pile of malevolent entity corpses.
