"So, only one last step remains. That is to temporarily conceal our cultivation." Luo Mingyue took out a porcelain bottle. "Before she left, Master gave me a bottle of Breath Concealing Pills she personally refined."
Luo Mingyue's voice was inexplicably heavy.
Li Shuang was still a little confused, but the expressions of Liu Juncheng and the others immediately became incredibly solemn.
Sui Jin was trembling all over, the flesh on his face twitching. "You mean... Master personally refined these?"
Luo Mingyue slowly nodded, her voice extremely low. "Taking this pill can hide one's cultivation from the spiritual sense of cultivators below the Soul Transformation stage. That Bronze Guard is only at the Golden Core stage, so shielding his detection will be easy. Take them and consume them."
"Senior Sister... you try it first!" Sui Jin dared not reach out.
Luo Mingyue raised an eyebrow. "My spiritual sense is not far from the Soul Transformation stage. That Bronze Guard couldn't see through me anyway, so this pill is useless to me."
Li Shuang also had a premonition of something bad. She quickly said, "I'm already at the Foundation Establishment stage, so there's no need to conceal anything. I don't need to take this pill either."
"Xiao Shuang and I don't need to take them. The rest of you, help yourselves," Luo Mingyue placed the pills on the table.
Jiang Yi watched, then silently picked one up and swallowed it directly.
Everyone stared at her intently.
Jiang Yi looked innocent, showing no signs of anything unusual.
They tried to probe her with their spiritual sense again, and indeed, they could only detect the cultivation level Jiang Yi had disguised, feeling no sense of incongruity.
"Could it be that this time... the pills Master refined actually have no side effects?" Sui Jin picked up a pill, half-believing, half-doubting, and swallowed it as if going to his death.
Then.
The color of his hair on top of his head suddenly began to flicker continuously.
Li Shuang was stunned.
His hair color kept changing through red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, instantly making Sui Jin's already prominent aura even more so.
Sui Jin himself didn't notice anything at first, but seeing the shocked looks of everyone, he quickly grabbed a mirror and took a look.
Then.
A look of delight immediately appeared on his face.
Such a flashy color? This perfectly matched his temperament!
"Good, good, Master has refined a good thing this time." Sui Jin admired himself in the mirror, looking immensely satisfied.
Everyone turned to look at Liu Juncheng.
Liu Juncheng fell silent.
He had just realized that Jiang Yi possessed the bloodline of a demon race, and her bloodline power was very strong. The side effects of this pill were probably directly neutralized by her bloodline power.
As for Sui Jin... he was already a show-off.
But what about himself?
What should he do?
He absolutely did not want to parade around with such rainbow hair.
"Second Junior Brother, hurry up," Luo Mingyue watched him with schadenfreude, a brilliant smile on her lips.
"Senior Sister, why are you laughing at someone to their face?" Li Shuang suddenly said.
Luo Mingyue coughed lightly. Her junior sister was serious, so she should try to restrain herself.
Liu Juncheng also couldn't help but show a very relieved smile. He had said it when Xiao Shuang joined the sect: their Heartless Peak finally had another reliable person.
Then, he heard the second half of Li Shuang's sentence: "I laugh from behind."
Li Shuang turned her head, trying hard to suppress her laughter.
Luo Mingyue couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. She and Li Shuang both turned their backs and then laughed heartily.
Liu Juncheng looked at Luo Mingyue, then at Li Shuang, feeling completely out of sorts.
Senior Sister was one thing!
He never expected her to be reliable!
How could such a good junior sister also be led astray!
Liu Juncheng beat his chest for a while, then swallowed the pill with a pained expression.
As soon as the pill entered his stomach, the color of his hair began to change.
Liu Juncheng fully activated his water-attribute spiritual energy, which inherently possessed purifying effects.
With the help of the Living Water Spirit, his spiritual root aptitude had already transformed. Liu Juncheng circulated it with all his might for a while, and the pill was purified. The side effects quickly disappeared, and the color of his hair returned to normal.
Liu Juncheng immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
Indeed, it was better to let Sui Jin be the only one to make a fool of himself.
No...
He wasn't the only one.
Liu Juncheng's gaze turned to the three people over there.
"Junior Brother Sheng, Junior Brother Shen, Fellow Daoist Fang, it's your turn."
Ye Zhaozhao and the others looked at Sui Jin's colorful rainbow hair, their lips trembling slightly.
Were they also going to look like this monstrosity?
Not everyone had Sui Jin's aesthetic!
Sheng Yuan calmly said, "Don't panic. The side effects of that pill aren't severe. Senior Brother Liu has dual water and wood spiritual roots, and his water spiritual root is far less powerful than mine. If Senior Brother Liu can purify the pill's side effects, I naturally can too. Go ahead and take it, I've got this."
With Sheng Yuan saying this, Ye Zhaozhao and Shen Yue felt relieved.
The three of them successively took the pills.
Liu Juncheng merely watched Sheng Yuan with interest.
He had dual water and wood spiritual roots. Sheng Yuan had a single water-attribute spiritual root.
Originally.
If only considering water-attribute spiritual roots, Sheng Yuan's spiritual root aptitude was indeed better than his.
Unfortunately.
That was before.
As soon as he took the pill, Sheng Yuan, imitating Liu Juncheng, also began to purify the pill.
However.
An incense stick's time passed.
Two incense sticks' time passed.
Sheng Yuan's hair still shimmered with colorful light, showing no sign of returning to normal.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, have you still not been able to purify the medicinal power?" Ye Zhaozhao was anxious. She didn't want to parade around with rainbow hair.
Sweat dripped from Sheng Yuan's forehead.
He looked up, somewhat incredulously, at Liu Juncheng. "This is impossible. How could you succeed?"
Among the five conventional spiritual root attributes, water spiritual roots primarily focus on healing and purification.
He possessed a single water-attribute spiritual root, yet his water-attribute ability was still inferior to Liu Juncheng's?
Liu Juncheng smiled, saying calmly, "Oh? You still don't know? In the Langya Secret Realm, Xiao Shuang helped me find some opportunities. Now, my water spiritual root aptitude should have improved significantly. Looking at this situation, could it be that its grade has already surpassed yours, Junior Brother Sheng?"
Sheng Yuan's face immediately turned pale!
Spiritual root aptitude improved?
How was this possible!
For most people, their spiritual root aptitude was what it was from birth. Treasures that could improve spiritual root aptitude were all peerless treasures.
Li Shuang found such an opportunity, and she actually gave it to Liu Juncheng just like that?
Sheng Yuan couldn't help but grit his teeth. "Senior Sister Li is quite generous!"
Li Shuang raised an eyebrow, her expression calm. "What does that have to do with you?"
Sheng Yuan's face immediately became even more unsightly.
Liu Juncheng suddenly added a cutting remark: "We should thank you for forcing Junior Sister out of Lingxu Peak. Otherwise, Xiao Shuang would have given such an opportunity to you, Junior Brother Sheng."
It would have been better if Liu Juncheng hadn't said anything.
With that remark.
Sheng Yuan felt as if his heart had been hammered countless times by a sledgehammer, the pain almost causing convulsions!
