Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1092: Chapter 570: Disguise Skill

When Hong Mei took the herbs, she snatched her prescription away and turned to leave.

Gu Sheng and the others chuckled and followed her.

Once they were out of the pharmacy, Hong Mei was still a bit displeased.

”That shop assistant knows nothing. My prescription is so powerful, yet he questioned it.”

”No, maybe he just knows a little, so he couldn’t see through it.”

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Hong Mei lifted her chin. ”This is the most powerful Disguise Skill I’ve ever created. There’s no way he can see through it.”

”Right, right, you’re absolutely right.”

Gu Sheng agreed cheerfully, causing Hong Mei to laugh as well.

”Gu Sheng, I want to look around here later. Once I’m done with things over at Luochuan’s place, can you accompany me for a walk?”

”Of course, I can.”

Just as Gu Sheng agreed, Lan Yao popped his head over from behind him.

”Sect Leader Hong, you can’t play favorites like that. Why only invite Gu Sheng and not us for the walk? We can accompany you too.”

After he spoke, Bai Yu also came over and nodded. ”Lan Yao is right, we can join too.”

Hong Mei’s face turned red from their words, leaving her momentarily unsure of how to respond.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng stepped directly in front of her and shot a sidelong glance at Lan Yao and Bai Yu.

”Are you two so free? If you have so much time, should I find something for you to do? As far as I know, there are Demon Beasts around here.”

Hearing the mention of Demon Beasts, the two immediately stood upright, waving their hands at Gu Sheng.

”No, no, actually we are quite busy. We were just joking with Hong Mei. In fact, we’re really busy, so we’ll be going now.”

As soon as they finished speaking, Lan Yao pulled Bai Yu away, and they dashed off.

Watching their retreating figures, Hong Mei couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Seeing her cheerful expression, Gu Sheng also couldn’t help but smile along.

”Let’s go.”

Following behind the others, the two returned to the inn together.

In Luochuan’s room, everyone crowded inside.

Seeing their curious faces, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but smile wryly.

”What are you all doing here? Don’t you feel cramped?”

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads in unison.

”Not cramped.”

Everyone replied collectively, making it hard for Gu Sheng to hold back his laughter.

Seeing him laugh, Shi Lou stepped forward and said, ”Brother Sheng, we promise not to cause trouble. Just let us stay and watch. I’ve never seen a Disguise Skill in person.”

Shi Lou had just finished speaking when Hong Mei jumped in before Gu Sheng could respond.

”Alright, alright, if you want to stay, come help me with these herbs.”

Learning that they could help, Shi Lou was even more delighted, and Er Gou and Huang Shan also came over to help.

While the three were busy with the herbs, Gu Sheng looked at Luochuan.

Seeing his hand clenched tight with nerves, he approached and patted Luochuan’s shoulder.

”Don’t be nervous, it’s just a disguise. It doesn’t hurt or itch, so why be afraid?”

After Gu Sheng spoke, Luochuan nervously looked up at him and asked quietly, ”Brother Sheng, will it disfigure me? After disguising, can I return to my original appearance? I won’t stay like this forever, right?”

Although Luochuan kept his voice down, sharp-eared Hong Mei still heard it.

”Luochuan, don’t you trust me? I’m the Sect Leader of the Mirror Gate, and Disguise Skill is my specialty!”

Upon realizing she heard him, Luochuan scratched his head in embarrassment.

”Sect Leader Hong, I didn’t mean it like that. I’m just nervous since I’ve never done this before.”

”No need to worry, just relax. I’m only helping you disguise, it won’t affect your true appearance. Once you want to restore your original look, I guarantee you’ll be exactly as before.”

With Hong Mei’s assurance, Luochuan finally relaxed.

”That’s good then. Thank you, Sect Leader Hong.”

”It’s nothing, just a small favor.”

After Hong Mei finished speaking, Shi Lou and Er Gou eagerly brought over the herbs.

Hong Mei took out a porcelain bottle and poured its contents into the mortar.

As the two mixed together, Hong Mei deftly swivelled her wrist, releasing a stream of Spiritual Energy from her palm, which fell directly into the mortar.

In an instant, all the herbs blended together.

With a gentle turn of her fingers, the mixture in the mortar began to rotate, gradually transforming the powdered herbs into a paste.

Once the paste had become smooth, Hong Mei finally stopped her actions.

”Luochuan, sit down and close your eyes. It will only take the time of one incense stick burning.”

Hearing this, Luochuan sat down and obediently closed his eyes.

Hong Mei’s hand gently rested on his face, as she slowly applied bits of the herbal paste to his skin.

Everyone watched closely, not even daring to blink, as Luochuan’s appearance subtlely transformed right before their eyes, turning into that of a stranger.

Standing aside, Er Gou rubbed his eyes vigorously.

”I didn’t blink either. At what moment did his appearance change?”

Hearing his words, Shi Lou shook his head, equally puzzled.

”I didn’t see it either. I just saw his appearance change, but couldn’t pinpoint when. It seems Hong Mei was right, she’s truly a master of disguise, simply amazing.”

The moment these words came out, they immediately garnered the group’s agreement.

As their voices grew louder, Gu Sheng shot them a glance.

Seeing his signal, everyone instinctively quieted down.

After the time of one incense stick, Luochuan had completely transformed into a stranger.

As Hong Mei stood up, Lan Yao and the others rushed over, circling around Luochuan incessantly, even reaching out to touch his face. But no matter how much they touched, they couldn’t find the edges, as if Luochuan had always looked like this.
