This condition immediately alarmed Leylin.
For Magi, injuries on one’s physical body were insignificant, but if one’s spiritual force showed signs of weakening, that immediately meant that one’s might was decreasing.
The old witch was still Leylin’s ally, and he didn’t want his supplier to suddenly disappear.
“Nothing much! Just a recent experiment that’s approaching its crucial stage!” Her body was already as weak as it could get, and just speaking resulted in her panting. However, the light in her eyes was even more radiant, as if on the verge of burning up.
Leylin had seen such a fervent heat in a person’s gaze before– in his previous life, in the eyes of lunatics and crazy people.
“You’d better not keep anything from me. Remember, we’re allies. Haven’t we been working well together in this past year?”
Leylin obviously didn’t believe her vague explanation.
“When it’s time, I’ll definitely tell you everything.”
The old witch gave a mysterious grin. “Also, I’ve found the spiritual force concealment method that you requested the previous time.”
“What? What?!” This was so unexpected that a smile surfaced on Leylin’s face.
He had always been searching for this content on the sly and attended a few of the dark Magi’s bazaars and meets to exchange resources, but to no avail.
He wasn’t expecting much when he employed her help, and it was a pleasant surprise that she had actually gotten what he wanted.
“This is information regarding the compression of spiritual force. Take a look!” She passed a green leaf to him.
Leylin reached out and took it, and then placed it on his forehead.
A cool feeling was emitted from the leaf and permeated Leylin’s skull, going straight into the depths of his brain.
[Spiritual force data interface has been detected. To accept the connection or not?] The A.I. Chip’s voice intoned.
“Accept!” With Leylin’s command, a massive stream of information entered Leylin’s sea of consciousness. It was constantly broken down, recorded and analysed by the A.I. Chip.
“Overall, the compression of spiritual force is to stack the spiritual force together continuously, arising in a different frequency of energy waves. From there, one can achieve the purpose of concealing their spiritual force…”
After browsing through for a while, Leylin smiled in satisfaction.
“This piece of information is very useful to me, but it seems to be incomplete. Where is the rest of it? Take it out! What do you want? Magic crystals? Potions? Resources? Just give the word!”
Leylin appeared to be extremely rich and overbearing.
“Hehehe… Just with the first half of this information, your spiritual force will be untraceable to all rank 1 Magi. Once you have the second half, even a rank 2 Magus won’t be able to discover your spiritual force energy waves. Although you can definitely afford it, I wish to make a trade with you using another method…” The old witch said with a cryptic laugh and hooted.
“What method?” Leylin’s brows furrowed, guessing that it was going to be extremely troublesome.
“I will give you the first half of the information now as a gift of thanks for being my ally!” The old witch appeared to be extremely generous, “As for the second half, I need you to do something for me!”
It was obvious that the old witch was using the second half of the information as bait to have Leylin help her with a certain matter.
“I need to know the specifics.”
Leylin did not refuse, but he did not agree either.
“Hehe… Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to hold back a rank 2 Magus or anything like that. I just want you to accompany me to explore some ruins.”
The old witch revealed her true motive.
“Exploring ruins? What ruins?” Leylin probed curiously.
“The remnants of the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect!”
