Chapter 1374: Chapter 1374: Heart Stabilizing Pill

Martial artists have two common ways of disguising themselves:

One is to apply a specially prepared disguise ointment directly on the face, thereby changing one’s appearance.

However, this disguise technique is too simple and can easily be seen through by sharp-eyed experts.

The second way is to shift the muscles, bones, and flesh of the face to achieve the purpose of disguise.

This disguise technique is very sophisticated and effective, often used by martial artists who like to conceal their identities.

However, this kind of disguise requires consuming a certain amount of True Yuan, which ordinary martial artists cannot maintain for long.

Zhu Huan and Zhu Yue, the brother and sister duo, used the second type of disguise. They are both high-rank Universe Level martial artists, able to maintain the disguise for several hundred breaths without change.

Their disguise successfully fooled Xia Chenyu at the scene, but could not escape the Divine Sense of Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou.

In fact, no matter how exquisite the disguise technique is, there will always be some flaws, but the bone-shifting and shape-changing disguise technique covers these flaws to an extremely subtle degree, discoverable only by innate experts with Divine Sense.

From the moment Zhu Huan and Zhu Yue stepped into the room, Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou saw through their disguise and guessed the brother and sister had their reasons for not wanting to show their true faces.

Indeed, Zhu Huan and Zhu Yue were worried about being discovered by Ruoshui Palace’s enforcement disciples, so they disguised themselves to come to Yuezhi Inn.

Zhu Huan and Zhu Yue originally thought they could successfully deceive everyone with their disguise, but to their surprise, they were seen through by Fang Bai, causing their faces to flush with embarrassment and leaving them at a loss.

"Rest assured, here in Spirit Lake City, no one dares to touch you! So... you can reveal your true appearances."

Fang Bai understood what the brother and sister were most worried about, so he gave them a Heart Stabilizing Pill.

In the past, within Spirit Lake City, there were nearly a hundred sects, prominent clans, and gang inns, all vying for the dominant position of Spirit Lake City, often engaging in both overt and covert struggles.

However, since the appearance of Yuezhi Inn, with the innkeeper Lei Hong and dozens of innate experts as the overseers, it naturally became the uncrowned king of Spirit Lake City.

The leaders of those sects and gangs were wise people, understanding that the dominant position of Spirit Lake City belonged to Yuezhi Inn. Hence, they ceased their conflicts and followed Yuezhi Inn as their leader, showing their respect by offering an annual "tribute" to avoid trouble from Yuezhi Inn.

For the "tribute" offered by those sects and gangs, Yuezhi Inn not only graciously accepted them all but also brazenly demanded that the tributes increase yearly. Otherwise, they would not be able to establish themselves in Spirit Lake City, which secretly infuriated those sects and gangs.

Now, with Lei Hong and the dozens of innate experts subdued by Fang Bai, Fang Bai became the new owner of Yuezhi Inn.

To the relief of those sects and gangs, the day after Fang Bai took over Yuezhi Inn, Yu Wei and others spread the news that they would no longer collect any "tribute" from those sects and gangs and invited them to collectively maintain the safety and stability of Spirit Lake City.

Fang Bai’s approach won the favor of those sects and gangs, earning their allegiance and making Yuezhi Inn the acknowledged overlord of Spirit Lake City.

It can be said that in today’s Spirit Lake City, anyone daring to cause trouble for Yuezhi Inn would find themselves in big trouble, even without Fang Bai needing to personally intervene, as other inns and gangs would ensure the troublemaker pays dear for it.

Even though Ruoshui Palace has ten thousand disciples, if they were to launch a large-scale attack, they would achieve nothing.

Fang Bai and his dozens of innate experts are certainly not to be trifled with.

Zhu Huan and Zhu Yue came to find Fang Bai because they recognized this, hoping to seek protection from Yuezhi Inn for their safety.

In truth, they came to the right place.

The brother and sister were extremely fearful of Ruoshui Palace, while Fang Bai did not regard Ruoshui Palace as a concern. In fact, due to the matter with Zhuge Dingtian, Zhou Yuruo, and Zhuge Lian, he harbored no fondness for Zhou Qingyan, the Palace Master.

Knowing that Fang Bai intended to protect them, Zhu Huan and Zhu Yue were overjoyed, exchanging glances as their facial muscles and bones rapidly shifted and changed, returning to their true appearances within a few breaths.

"We disguised ourselves to avoid being pursued by Ruoshui Palace’s enforcement disciples. Please forgive us, Senior Fang!"

Zhu Huan clasped his fists and bowed deeply in salute.

Fang Bai waved a hand and said, "I can protect you for a while, but not forever. If you want to be completely free from Ruoshui Palace’s pursuits, you might as well follow me to the Huaxia Sect. What do you think?"

Given Zhu Huan and Zhu Yue’s age and their rank in the high level Universe Level realm, it proves they have noteworthy potential, so Fang Bai thought of bringing them into the Huaxia Sect.

"Also, your martial dao partner was crippled, right? Bring him to me later; maybe I can heal him and put him back on the martial dao path."

Fang Bai added, addressing Zhu Yue who had been silent with her head down.

"Really... Can he really be healed?"

Zhu Yue, upon hearing this, sharply raised her head to look at Fang Bai, eyes gleaming, and because of her excitement, her voice trembled slightly.

It’s clear that Zhu Yue cares deeply about her martial dao partner, standing by him even when he was crippled and unable to cultivate.

In Fang Bai’s view, a woman of such loyalty and affection is very rare.

Li Chenzhou chimed in with a smile, "What’s there that can’t be healed? Don’t forget, this Senior Fang is an extremely skilled alchemist. Your martial dao partner’s severed tendons can be cured with a superior high-quality Marrow Cleansing Pill. As long as you’re willing to join the Huaxia Sect, I doubt this Senior Fang would be stingy with such a pill."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yue knelt on the ground and said to Fang Bai, "Senior Fang, we are willing to join the Huaxia Sect! Please grant us the elixir!"

Zhu Huan immediately also knelt down, saying, "I beg Senior Fang to take us in."

Fang Bai waved a hand, gesturing for the brother and sister to stand, then flicked two bottles of elixir towards Zhu Yue, saying, "One bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill and one bottle of Creation Pill, all of superior high quality. Take them back for your martial dao partner to ingest one of each. By tomorrow morning, his strength should be fully restored. Then the three of you can come here, and we’ll set off together, first returning to the Huaxia Sect, then proceeding to Ruoshui Palace."

Zhu Yue, coming from the innate sect Ruoshui Palace, might not have had access to superior high-quality elixirs even as a Universe Level martial artist, yet she knew their worth. Upon receiving the two bottles of elixirs flicked by Fang Bai, she merely glanced inside and confirmed they were indeed superior high-quality elixirs.

After her martial dao partner’s body was crippled, knowing only a superior high-quality Marrow Cleansing Pill could possibly heal him, she went into hiding in Spirit Lake City with her martial dao partner, accompanied by her brother Zhu Huan, while secretly searching across the True Martial Realm for a Marrow Cleansing Pill.

However, the main ingredient needed to refine a Marrow Cleansing Pill was extremely rare and expensive, and they couldn’t afford the high alchemy fees charged by alchemists, hence the delay.

Now that Fang Bai casually gave them a bottle each of Marrow Cleansing and Creation Pills, which were the superior high-quality elixirs they had long dreamed of, how could they not be overwhelmed with gratitude?
