Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1363

Chapter 1363: Chapter 705: Take Care (2)

"Confrontation isn’t the way. I have an idea—change appearances, hide our aura, and blend into the Descending Immortal Realm."

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"Disguise Skill? The Luoyun City Lord has powerful Divine Sense, ordinary disguise won’t fool him."

"Not just any ordinary disguise."

Gu Sheng took out a cyan elixir from his pocket.

"This is the ’Thousand Faces Pill’; after taking it, you can change your bone structure, aura, and even fake your cultivation fluctuations."

Ling Xiao’s eyes flashed with surprise.

"Where did you get something so good?"

"From the last outing at the Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Mansion."

Gu Sheng split the elixir into two.

"But before that, we need to solve another issue."

He turned and walked into the depths of the forest, where Mu Feng and Mu Xi were resting against a large tree.

Mu Xi looked pale, clutching a jade box tightly in her arms.

"Gu!"

Mu Feng quickly stood up.

"Are you alright?"

Gu Sheng shook his head, his gaze falling on Mu Xi.

"Did you bring out the Spirit Root?"

Mu Xi nodded timidly and opened the jade box. Inside lay a spirit grass that was entirely emerald green and shaped like ginseng, emitting a faint glow—it was the Heavenly Life Extension Spirit Root.

Ling Xiao approached for a closer look, furrowing his brow slightly.

"A fifth-grade spirit grass, violent in energy. This girl has a special constitution; ingesting it directly could make her explode."

Mu Feng’s face turned pale at these words.

"What should we do?"

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment.

"I can try to refine part of its energy and then guide it into her body."

He looked at Mu Xi.

"The process will be painful, are you sure you want to try?"

Mu Xi bit her lip and nodded firmly.

"I’m not afraid of pain. As long as it cures my illness, I’ll endure any hardship."

"Alright."

Gu Sheng sat opposite her cross-legged.

"Let’s begin. Mu Feng, step back a bit, don’t interfere."

Mu Feng nervously stepped back three paces, hands clenched into fists.

Gu Sheng formed seals with his hands, and a Spirit Barrier enveloped him and Mu Xi.

He carefully extracted the Heavenly Life Extension Spirit Root from the jade box, a golden flame gathering at his fingertips.

"Is this... Pill Fire?"

Ling Xiao was surprised.

"You also know Alchemy?"

"I know a little."

Gu Sheng focused on controlling the heat, as the Spirit Root slowly melted in the flame, extracting a drop of emerald green liquid.

Mu Xi watched the drop, swallowing involuntarily.

She could feel the immense energy contained within, both desiring and fearing it.

"Open your mouth."

Gu Sheng commanded.

Mu Xi obediently opened her mouth, and the drop of liquid flew into her mouth. In an instant, her whole face turned red, her body shaking violently.

"Ah—"

A scream was about to escape, but Gu Sheng pressed his palm on her head, channeling Spiritual Power into her body.

"Hold on! Guide the energy along the meridians!"

Gu Sheng commanded sternly, sweat beading on his forehead.

Mu Xi curled up in pain, feeling like thousands of needles were piercing her inside.

She bit her lip hard, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, but she still didn’t utter a sound.

Mu Feng watched helplessly from the side, heart aching, wanting to step forward several times, but was stopped by Ling Xiao.

"Interrupting now, she will surely die."

Ling Xiao said coldly.

"Trust Gu Sheng."

Mu Xi sat cross-legged, her slender body trembling constantly, sweat beads the size of beans on her forehead.

She clenched her teeth tightly, blood seeping from the edge of her lips, yet she stubbornly refused to make a sound of pain.

"Hold on!"

Gu Sheng shouted in a deep voice, forming seals with his hands, strands of Spiritual Power wrapped around Mu Xi, helping guide the violent energy within her.

Mu Feng stood by, his fists clenched so tight they were white, nails digging into his palms.

"Sister..."

His voice trembled, eyes filled with pity and guilt.

Ling Xiao held his shoulder, speaking softly.

"The energy of a fifth-grade spirit grass is not easy to manage. Even if cultivators at the Gathering Core Realm ingest it directly, they risk exploding. For Mu Xi to endure this with Bone Tempering Realm cultivation is a miracle."

Mu Feng looked even paler at these words.

"I... I almost let my sister take it directly, nearly causing her harm..."

"It’s not the time for self-blame."

Gu Sheng didn’t turn around, fully concentrating on controlling the flow of Spiritual Power.

"Mu Xi is extraordinarily gifted, only suppressed by a strange illness. If she can get past this, her future will be limitless."
