Is that a Wisp?-Chapter 63: Krune's Plan.

In the next few days, Krune helped Lakin teach the wisps in the Spiritual Vein Lake. He wanted to make sure everything was going well. But there was one thing bothering him: the number of wisps in this place. Late at night, Krune called over everyone to discuss this issue.

"The problem here is that you have too many wisps. I know you have some beast patrolling outside to keep it safe from prying eyes. However, I doubt they will resist the urge to capture all the wisps at once. If for some coincidence, a late-stage Foundation Establishment or higher passes by and decides to check it with their Divine Sense, things would become complicated. Those wisps would be worth a lot of spirit stones, especially when they see the cultivation that they have."

Lakin and Ruik already knew that, but, in the end, they didn't have another solution other than keeping hiding here.

Yusa understood Krune's meaning.

"You can't be possibly thinking to bring all of them to the Rainbow Sect Secret Realm, right?"

Krune nodded.

"Other than there, I can't think about a safer place. As a legacy disciple, I can keep it closed temporarily as well."

Lakin and Ruik were puzzled, what is this Rainbow Sect? Krune then explained what had happened in the Raskie Danger Zone, how they'd found a secret realm and come to get a partial control over it.

Ruik and Lakin understood everything, but there was one thing they didn't understand.

"Why did you choose Rainbow Sect?"

"Cough, cough. It is not important at the moment."

Ao and the others laughed at that. They then sent a Divine Sense message telling them that they will explain it later.

"The problem here is: how do you expect us to pass by the cities without people noticing the wisps? The low-level wisps might be possible. But any other over the 4th Stage of Qi Condensation will attract a lot of attention, and you have a lot of them here."

Krune's face was severe. He had indeed thought about a direction, but it will take some time.

"The way we use to go to the Raskie Danger Zone is through the teleportation formations. My idea was to build a teleportation formation here and use it."

Shinja immediately shook her head.

"That's not going to work. The distance is too big to build such a large distance teleportation formation. You will need to be a Six Stars Formations Master at the very least unless you intend to employ a formation master, especially for this."

Krune shook his head.

"That would be too dangerous. Out of nowhere, a group of the Foundation Establishment cultivators wants to create a teleportation formation going from inside one of the Danger Zones to another Danger Zone. It will attract too much attention. Chances are that even the Rainbow Sect Secret Realm will be found."

Lakin couldn't help but ask.

"Then how exactly are you planning to do that?"

Krune smiled and told his plan.

"A very long teleportation formation would be impossible, but a short distance shouldn't be a problem."

This time, it was Ao who shook his head.

"If you are thinking about building several teleportation formations linking every single one to teleport them over, you'd better forget about this idea. The materials necessary to build all those formations are too huge for any of us to pay. At the same time, making sure that not a single of them is found is even harder."

It was at this moment that Lakin's eyes lit up.

"Master isn't planning to build hundreds or thousands of them; he is planning to build only two!"

Yusa and the other got puzzled, but Krune smiled.

"As expected of my disciple, you didn't let me down."

Yusa immediately retorted.

"Exactly, it is the master who usually lets everyone down, the disciple is very good indeed."

Shinja and Ao nodded vigorously.

Krune completely ignored Yusa and the others and continued.

"I will only need two short-distance teleportation formations: one to teleport to Kaley City, and the other to teleport away from Harta City. We just need to make sure no one will notice us during this small amount of time."

Krune then continued.

"We've already had the Solie Clan teleportation Formation to teleport us over to the Harta City. All I need is to build a short distance teleportation formation and set the Solie Clan coordinates. As long as we set the coordinates of this teleportation formation inside the Solie Clans formation, we can immediately teleport over. Then we use the same formation to go to Harta City. There we use the same teleportation formation to go to the formation we will set up beside the Rainbow Sect entrance."

Everyone understood. If it is a short distance teleportation formation, it shouldn't be too much of an issue to set up.

"We can understand how we are going to do the Kaley City part, but how are you going to keep it hidden in Harta City?"

Shinja was the one to answer this question.

"This part is easy! We aren't the only people who want to pass by other city teleportation formations in secret. Several clans, sects, and organizations have their own secrets as well. Of course, the continent had long since prepared teleportation formations that could be rented while keeping everything completely hidden. We just need to rent one of those formations and set up the right coordinates to the Rainbow Sect."

They understood now. It was indeed a very feasible plan, but there was still one last problem.

"Who is going to build the short distance teleportation formations?"

Krune just laughed and said.

"Who else other than me? I was already planning to take the Formations Master exam anyway. As you know, the soul cultivation technique I use is focused on side occupations. I very much want to check how good it is."

"What if you can't succeed?"

"That won't be a problem! A short-distance teleportation formation only needs a Two Stars or at most a Three-Star formation master. At the same time, it shouldn't be that hard to employ a formation master of this level and keep things secret. A formation master of those levels would be at most a Foundation Establishment cultivator. A blood contract will be more than enough to keep his mouth shut."

Everyone got excited. This is indeed an almost fail-proof plan.

"Very well! Since it is decided, then I will be leaving tomorrow morning. There is still sometime before Shinja's breakthrough, so I plan to take study materials from the Formations Guild and start taking a look in the meantime. I will need some time to study the contents of Formation Masters anyway."

Everyone nodded and went back to do their own things.

Lakin gathered all the wisps in the cave and told them about what they are planning to do. No one complained. They all know their life is already good enough the way it is. And that was thanks to Lakin, so they will simply follow him.

The next morning, Krune and his friends left immediately. Lakin wanted to go together, but he knew he must pay attention to the things here. He doesn't know how long it will be for him master to finish setting everything up, and can't leave the wisps behind, not to mention that the wisps trust him the most. If he simply left, they might get restless and try to do something idiot, especially the very young ones.

A few days later, Krune's group was already back to Kaley City. Much for supervisor Lu relief, he asked them not to leave for a while since the Core Formation Experts would arrive in a few days. It would be better for Shinja to receive them properly.

Krune was about to go pay a visit to the Formations Guild when Yusa suddenly asked him one thing.

"With my Spiritual Energy Meridians, I should be able to take some other side occupation as well, don't you think?"

Krune didn't even have to think to agree with that idea.

"Indeed, your control might not be as good as mine, and you haven't had a soul technique yet. But, as you are several times better than the big majority of cultivators at your level, it shouldn't be a problem for you to get a side occupation of your choice. Remember to keep the fact you can already control more than one element at the same time secret for now."

Yusa nodded.

"No problem. I wasn't going to do that anyway, so I'm leaving."

Krune couldn't help but ask.

"What are you planning to do?"

Yusa just laughed and left. She didn't say anything, but Krune had the impression it had something to do with money. That girl wouldn't lift a finger if there were no profits. Krune just shook his head and put those thoughts behind his mind.

"Well, the Formations Guild is."

Krune arrived at the guild using the same hat as always. He still isn't comfortable walking around with his rainbow hair. Too bad his eyes irises are changing and taking a colorful state as well.

Fortunately for him, it doesn't look weird like his rainbow hair. In fact, it could be said to be a little cool. Instead, it had some charm behind it.

Unaware of the changes in his eyes, Krune went to the counter to ask how he could apply to become a Formations Maters.

"The formation master guild test has a hundred and ten Rank Two middle-quality spirit stones fee. But before you apply to that, you will receive the material from study through your communicator. You can come back to do some practical training later. You can keep training to make some low-level formations as long as you can afford your own expenses. You should only pay the test fee when you feel you can pass it."

Krune couldn't help but comment.

"It is a lot laxer than the alchemist guild test."

The attendant nodded.

"It is indeed. Although there are geniuses in formations too, our guild believes that with enough effort, even common cultivators can have good accomplishments in formations. Besides, having some knowledge of formations can save your life while you are adventuring around the world. So the government also encourages the cultivators to get familiar with it."

Krune was very happy with the way the Formations Guild worked. They didn't discard those with inferior talents. Of course, they will have to afford their training if they want to go further in the formation path.

Krune received the material for study in his communicator and went back to his house in the city. There are loads of different kinds of formations. And, even those that are the same can be built using different elements to get different results. But there was one formation that had caught Krune's attention at the top of that.

'Spirit Gathering Formation, there is one of those in the mercenary guild and the alchemist guild as well. The cultivation there is much better than outside. If I can learn how to build a Spirit Gathering Formation and use my spirit stones as the main source, the spiritual energy retrieved from the stones could be increased. I will take a look at it this later.'

Krune then started his study during the day. At night time he started cultivating again. After several months without increasing his cultivation, he could feel that the instability of his planet in his foundation had finally been over. He can start to improve his cultivation again without being afraid of affecting his future.

Time passed, and another week went by. Today, Lu Ganan, Shinja, and the others were all in front of the teleportation formation of the Mercenary Guild. They received the report that the Core Formation Stage cultivators were coming today to oversee Shinja's breakthrough.

Not long after, the Teleportation Formation started to shine, and three people appeared on it. There were a woman and two men. Krune, who was watching it, could even tell that the woman was, in fact, a demon beast in human form. But their cultivation was too high, so he could only say their cultivation was at the Core Formation. But he can't tell which stage was exactly.

Lu Ganan came forward and complimented them. As a Core Formation expert himself, he didn't need to be overly cautious. Basic politeness is still necessary.

"Hello, my friends! Welcome to Kaley City. I thank you all for making this trip over here to oversee a new member of our guild entering the Core Formation Realm."

Surprisingly, the female demon beast was the leader of this group, she came forward and exchanged a few words with Lu Ganan.

"Supervisor Lu was very polite. My name is Mile. When I heard that the one trying to the breakthrough was a woman, I offered to oversee the process myself. Women cultivators are rarer than men, so I want to make sure everything goes as planned."

Shinja came forward to talk with them.

"Seniors, thank you for your time. I'm the one going through the process this time, and I'm counting on you."

Mile looked at Shinja, and her eyes lit up. She got close and touched Shinja's face.

"Such a beautiful girl! Weren't I a female demon beast, I probably would get jealous of your appearance."

She then laughed out loud.

"Leave the problems outside for this big sister. You just need to make sure to pass through it safely."

Mile looked at Lu Ganan and asked.

"Have you decided where she is going to do it?"

Supervisor Lu nodded.

"We have already cleaned a space a few hundred kilometers south of the city. There shouldn't be any problem."

Mile nodded and then said.

"Alright, let's move out then. The earlier it is over, the better."

They were just about to leave when Mile noticed Krune was behind.

'Such a peculiar pair of eyes.'

She then remembered something but kept silent. After that, they set off.
