Chapter 145: Concealment Pill

Luo Ming Yue set a porcelain bottle on the table as she said: “Then there is only one last step. We need to hide our cultivation for now. Before we left, Master gave me a bottle of Concealment Pills she refined herself.”

Her voice was strangely heavy.

Li Shuang did not understand yet, but Liu Jun Cheng and the others went stiff and serious at once.

Sui Jin trembled so hard the flesh of his cheeks shook as he asked: “You mean Master refined these herself?”

Luo Ming Yue nodded slowly and said in a low voice: “This pill can fool divine sense below the Divine Transformation Stage. The Copper Guard is only at the Golden Core Stage. Blocking his probe will be easy. Take them.”

Sui Jin flinched back and said: “First Senior Sister, you try it first!”

Luo Ming Yue lifted a brow and replied: “My divine sense is not far from the Divine Transformation Stage. The Copper Guard cannot see through me anyway. The pill will not affect me.”

A bad hunch rose in Li Shuang’s heart as she spoke quickly: “I am already at the Foundation Establishment Stage and do not need to hide. I will not take the pill either.”

Luo Ming Yue set the bottle down and said: “I and Little Shuang will skip it. The rest of you, take what you need.”

Without a word, Jiang Yi picked up one pill and swallowed it.

Everyone stared at her.

Jiang Yi looked innocent and showed no changes.

They probed again with divine sense and could sense only the level she had disguised. Nothing felt off.

Sui Jin frowned, then brightened as he said: “Could it be that Master’s pill has no side effects this time?” He grabbed one and swallowed it like a hero.

Right away, the hair on his head began to flash colors.

Li Shuang stared in shock.

His hair flipped again and again through red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. In a moment, his already flashy style became even more eye catching.

He noticed their stunned looks, snatched up a mirror, and checked. Then joy bloomed across his face.

He nodded to his reflection as he said: “Good, good, Master made a great thing this time.” He admired himself, very pleased.

Everyone turned to look at Liu Jun Cheng.

Liu Jun Cheng had figured it out. Jiang Yi carried Demon Clan blood, and her bloodline power was strong. The pill’s side effect had likely been canceled out by it. As for Sui Jin, he was born to be flashy. But what about himself? He did not want to walk around with a rainbow head.

Smiling like she enjoyed the show, Luo Ming Yue told him: “Second Junior Brother, your turn.”

Li Shuang spoke up to scold gently as she said: “First Senior Sister, do not laugh at him to his face.”

Luo Ming Yue cleared her throat. Li Shuang was proper and steady, so she tried to rein it in.

Liu Jun Cheng felt warm inside and smiled with relief. Then Li Shuang added in a calm voice: “I only laugh behind his back.”

She turned away, fighting a smile.

Luo Ming Yue failed to hold it and laughed out loud. The two of them simply faced the wall and laughed together with open joy.

Liu Jun Cheng looked at Luo Ming Yue, then at Li Shuang, feeling utterly defeated: [First Senior Sister is one thing. No one expected much from her. But how did a good Junior Sister get pulled into this?] He pounded his chest a few times, then swallowed a pill with a face full of pain.

As soon as it went down, his hair began to change color.

He gathered his water attribute spiritual power. Water had its own power to cleanse. With help from the Spirit of Living Water, his spiritual roots had already transformed. He ran his power at full force for a while, and the pill’s side effect faded. His hair returned to normal.

He let out a long breath of relief: [Right. Let Sui Jin be the only one to show off.]

No, wait.

He glanced at the three across from him.

He called out as he said: “Junior Brother Sheng, Junior Brother Shen, Fellow Daoist Fang, your turn.”

Ye Zhao Zhao and the others looked at Sui Jin’s rainbow hair, their lips trembling.

Not everyone shared Sui Jin’s taste, and none of them wanted to look like that.

Keeping cool, Sheng Yuan said: “Do not panic. The side effect is weak. Senior Brother Liu has Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Roots, and his water root is not as strong as mine. If he can cleanse the pill, I certainly can. Take them. I will handle it.”

Reassured, Ye Zhao Zhao and Shen Yue swallowed their pills.

Liu Jun Cheng watched Sheng Yuan with interest. He had Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Roots. Sheng Yuan had a Single Spiritual Root of water.

Before, if they compared only the water root, Sheng Yuan’s was indeed better.

But that was before.

Sheng Yuan copied Liu Jun Cheng and tried to purify the pill.

One stick of incense burned away. Then a second.

Sheng Yuan’s hair still shone with rainbow light and showed no sign of turning back.

Ye Zhao Zhao grew anxious and asked: “Fellow Daoist Sheng, you still have not cleared the side effect?”

Sweat rolled down Sheng Yuan’s forehead. He lifted his eyes, shock and doubt in them, as he asked Liu Jun Cheng: “Impossible. How did you succeed?”

Among the five ordinary elements, water was best at repair and purification. As a pure water root holder, how could he be worse than Liu Jun Cheng?

Liu Jun Cheng smiled calmly and said: “Oh? You did not know? In the Langya Secret Realm, Little Shuang helped me find some opportunities. My water root has improved a lot. Judging by this, perhaps my grade has surpassed yours, Junior Brother Sheng.”

Sheng Yuan’s face went pale: [Improved spiritual roots? How is that possible?] For most people, root quality was set at birth. Anything that could improve spiritual roots was a legendary treasure.

Li Shuang had found such a chance, and she gave it to Liu Jun Cheng?

Grinding his teeth, Sheng Yuan said: “Senior Sister Li is generous.”

Li Shuang lifted a brow and answered, cool and even, as she said: “What does that have to do with you?”

Sheng Yuan’s expression turned even uglier.

Liu Jun Cheng added a final stab as he said: “We should thank you for forcing Junior Sister out of Ling Xu Peak. Otherwise, she might have given that chance to you.”

At those words, Sheng Yuan felt as if a huge hammer pounded his heart again and again, the pain so strong it nearly made him cramp.
