Yang Qing made a few arrangements with Wenling before leaving. He strengthened the sheltering breath golden bloom spell he had cast earlier, recasting it with his newfound strength to enhance both its conciliatory and defensive abilities. With his current cultivation, the spell could easily fool cultivators from the first stage of the palace realm up to the fourth.
Anyone at the fourth stage or below could forget about sensing Wenling's presence, along with that of Bolin and Haishi. And even if, by some stroke of luck, someone with a powerful soul or perceptive techniques managed to detect them, the spell's defenses would activate—and they were just as formidable. At its present strength, fueled by his dense qi, it could withstand the attacks of an ordinary fourth-stage palace realm expert for about thirty minutes before it started showing signs of collapse.
