Chapter 93: The Iron Stem Orchid's Abnormality

For dinner, Chu Ning helped himself to several bowls of Spirit Rice, and also served a bowl to Ling Xiaobai.

The little guy didn't hesitate like he did yesterday.

Perhaps realizing that this would be his regular meal from now on, he obediently started eating.

After dinner, Chu Ning did a bit of tidying up before returning to his room.

Instead of rushing into cultivation, he curiously picked up the jade slip containing the Illusion Transformation Art.

After a quick glance through its contents, he found himself intrigued.

This art of illusion had no attributes or levels.

According to the introduction, the method involved using spiritual power to alter the shape of one's bones and muscles.

Therefore, with practice, one could freely change their height and appearance.

Moreover, even if someone with higher spiritual power or divine sense were to probe, since the art truly altered the bones and muscles, they might discern the use of a secret technique but would not be able to see the original form.

"Since it's an attribute-less art, it's no different from wood-based spells for me.

I should be able to pick it up quickly."

With that thought, Chu Ning carefully perused the contents of the jade slip several times, committing them to memory.

Then, he began to follow the instructions, starting with altering his bones.

As it was his first attempt, he dared not experiment on his face.

Instead, he tried to shorten one of his legs slightly.

He channeled his spiritual power, and his left leg felt a strange compressing sensation.

The next moment, when he placed both legs together, he was surprised to find that his left leg was indeed shorter than the right.

He channeled his spiritual power again, and the leg returned to its normal state.

"Interesting."

Intrigued, Chu Ning started playing with his legs, making them longer and shorter alternately...

As he casually swept his spiritual power over a certain area of his body, a strange idea popped into his mind.

But he quickly dismissed it, as that area didn't have any bones.

He continued to experiment with other parts of his body, causing his entire figure to fluctuate between tall and short, fat and thin.

What surprised Chu Ning the most was that after using the Illusion Transformation Art, he didn't need to maintain it with spiritual power.

He only needed to use spiritual power to restore his original form.

Moreover, once the bones were altered, even the muscles would change accordingly, resulting in a very natural appearance.

After familiarizing himself with the technique by practicing on his entire body, Chu Ning finally turned his attention to his slightly delicate-looking face.

Holding a mirror, he began to use the Illusion Transformation Art to adjust his facial features.

The next moment, he almost dropped the mirror in shock.

Facial adjustments were much more subtle, and he had accidentally altered the bones on both sides of his cheeks to different heights, causing his entire face to look slightly distorted.

His appearance was indescribable.

After readjusting a few times, Chu Ning finally became more adept, and he began to fine-tune his facial structure bit by bit.

After some tweaking, the originally delicate-looking face disappeared, replaced by a youth with an extremely ordinary face.

Chu Ning then applied the Illusion Transformation Art to his body, causing his height to decrease slightly.

At the same time, he released the suppressed sixth layer of Qi Refining cultivation that the Yin Wood Spirit Body had been holding back.

Looking at this face that was completely different from before, Chu Ning nodded in satisfaction.

He stood up and left the room, strolling around the courtyard.

When he felt no discomfort and even his spiritual power and spells seemed unaffected, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Even if I were to meet someone who sees me every day, they probably wouldn't recognize me. Besides, there's no one who sees me every day anyway."

It was then that Chu Ning had this thought.

"Whine!"

A sound caught his attention, and he looked over to see Ling Xiaobai.

The little guy's eyes flashed with a hint of alertness, but it quickly vanished.

Then, his small eyes rolled, and he let out another "whine" at Chu Ning.

It was as if he was saying, "I know it's you."

This startled Chu Ning.

"Is this Illusion Transformation Art so easily seen through? Can Ling Xiaobai see right through it?"

However, this thought quickly changed as Chu Ning felt that something was amiss.

Recalling Ling Xiaobai's peculiarities, he suspected that the little guy might have another way of identifying him.

The best way to confirm his suspicions would be to find an acquaintance and test it out tomorrow.

That night, Chu Ning enthusiastically cultivated the Illusion Transformation Art.

He even tried altering his face to resemble his previous life's appearance, and for a moment, he felt a surge of mixed emotions.

The next morning, after breakfast, Chu Ning brought Ling Xiaobai out of the market district.

He then took out the Wind Chariot and prepared to head to the Spirit Fields.

"Let's go for a ride!"

Chu Ning spoke to Ling Xiaobai, using his divine sense to tell the little guy to perch on his shoulder.

Ling Xiaobai nimbly jumped onto Chu Ning's shoulder.

Chu Ning then stepped onto the Wind Chariot and infused his feet with spiritual power.

The next moment, the Wind Chariot soared into the sky and sped forward.

"So fast!"

Caught off guard, Chu Ning almost lost his balance, but he quickly steadied himself.

"Whine!"

Even Ling Xiaobai seemed curious and delighted by the experience.

"Whine!"

Ling Xiaobai replied with a slightly aggrieved sound.

Chu Ning slightly sensed the speed, and his eyes lit up.

The speed of the Wind Chariot was three times faster than his previous wind-riding journey.

The Spirit Fields, which originally took a quarter of an hour to reach, were now just a stone's throw away.

After putting away the Wind Chariot, Chu Ning felt a slight sense of dissatisfaction.

The distance was still too short, and he hadn't even gotten a taste of the thrill.

Chu Ning then smiled and shook his head. Perhaps this was similar to driving a car in his past life; when he didn't have a car, he always wanted one, but once he got it, the novelty wore off quickly.

Ling Xiaobai looked at Chu Ning, his face showing a cute expression as if he didn't quite understand what Chu Ning meant.

Chu Ning didn't pay any attention to the little guy. He examined the growth of the Purple Crystal Bamboo and Golden Origin Fruits and then began to practice the Green Wood Eternal Spring Art on them.

Both types of spirit plants were doing well, and as his cultivation improved, the effects of the Green Wood Eternal Spring Art seemed to be getting better too.

After applying the art to all the spirit plants, Chu Ning didn't linger and returned directly to his courtyard.

Due to the delay of a few days, the Purple Crystal Bamboo was not yet ready to support his cultivation effectively.

The Iron Stem Orchids in his courtyard hadn't fully recovered, but the Green Spirit Fruits were growing well.

Moreover, these two types of spirit plants absorbed spiritual energy faster, making them better for cultivating the Green Wood Eternal Spring Art.

Chu Ning decided to focus on cultivating these two types of spirit plants first.

However, Chu Ning didn't forget about his plan to test out the Illusion Transformation Art.

So, he directly performed the Illusion Transformation Art in the Spirit Fields, changing his appearance.

At this moment, his gaze turned to Ling Xiaobai.

As Ling Xiaobai followed him around, others in the market district would inevitably see them together.

Others would naturally recognize him at a glance, thus unintentionally exposing his ability to use illusion transformation.

"Ling Xiaobai, get into the Spirit Beast Bag," Chu Ning said as he took out the bag and beckoned to Ling Xiaobai.

Ling Xiaobai looked at him and shook his little head vigorously.

Chu Ning frowned, "You can usually stay outside, but when I have something important to do, you must get into the Spirit Beast Bag, or else..."

This little guy was extremely intelligent, and he seemed to realize that Chu Ning was serious. He whined in agreement.

Only then did Chu Ning nod in satisfaction and use the Spirit Beast Bag to put Ling Xiaobai away.

Then, Chu Ning began to ride the wind towards the market district.

Of course, he didn't use the Wind Chariot, as he was currently using a different appearance.

Upon entering the market district, Chu Ning saw that Gu Xiaqing's shop was open, so he went straight there.

Since it wasn't a market day, there were generally fewer customers, and Gu Xiaqing wasn't manning the shop.

Chu Ning called out after arriving at the store, and Gu Xiaqing emerged from the back room.

"What pills is this fellow Daoist looking for?"

"Do you have any Gathering Yuan Pills?" Chu Ning asked.

His voice had changed and sounded older and deeper than before.

"Yes," Gu Xiaqing took out a jade bottle from her storage bag, "Ten spirit stones per pill. How many do you want?"

Chu Ning took out a hundred spirit stones from his storage bag, "Give me ten pills."

"There are exactly ten pills in this bottle," Gu Xiaqing said as she handed over the jade bottle.

Chu Ning took the bottle but didn't leave immediately.

Instead, he deliberately opened the lid to inspect the pills and even took one out to smell it.

This gave Gu Xiaqing ample time to observe him.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaqing smiled and said, "These are genuine lower-grade Gathering Yuan Pills. We are from the Qingxi Sect, so fellow Daoist can rest assured."

Chu Ning nodded and specifically inquired about two types of higher-grade pills.

Then, he left the shop, leaving Gu Xiaqing bewildered by his strange behavior.

"This person is clearly only at the sixth layer of Qi Refining, yet he wants to buy more advanced pills, and he didn't even come on a market day. How odd."

Chu Ning released his divine sense and perceived Gu Xiaqing's muttering behind him. A faint smile appeared on his face.

His actions and words had successfully drawn Gu Xiaqing's attention, yet she hadn't recognized him at all, which greatly relieved Chu Ning.

The Illusion Transformation Art was indeed effective.

After leaving the market district, Chu Ning found a secluded spot to restore his original appearance.

Then, he returned to his shop's courtyard as usual.

For now, the Illusion Transformation Art didn't have much use for him.

However, for the always cautious Chu Ning, he felt that it would come in handy sooner or later.

In the backyard, Chu Ning prepared to apply the Green Wood Eternal Spring Art to the Green Spirit Fruits and Iron Stem Orchids again. While he was at it, he also intended to cultivate the Green Wood Eternal Longevity Art using the Green Spirit Fruits.

As his gaze swept over the Iron Stem Orchids, he suddenly paused.

Four of the Iron Stem Orchids were growing significantly better than the others.

The next moment, Chu Ning's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Ling Xiaobai.

These were the very same Iron Stem Orchids that Ling Xiaobai had urinated on yesterday.
