Chapter 129 Ques
When Fang Yu woke up the next day, Mo Li was no longer on the bed. Not minding the little pang in her chest, she conditioned herself, stretched and went out to talk to her disciple about pill making and potioneering, only to hear the robot's words.
[Quest: Find out why Mo Li chose Dong Hu as a disciple. Reward: Twenty Coins. No option to decline.]
'What about the time frame?' she asked in response. She was not very confident that she would be able to finish such a task within twenty-four hours.
[Two months.]
She sighed in relief, that time frame would enough time to find out the real reason before Mo Li could come back. Fang Yu immediately wondered if this was the reason why Dong Hu would become the villain. Fang Yu ignored the robot and went to talk to Ji Tian. Seeing his cultivation increase in a matter of weeks, Fang Yu was thrilled, she was beaming and even consulted her master for a mission outside of the sect. She wanted Ji Tian to accompany her out as he tempers his body and improves his fighting skills.
"If you wanted to go out with your disciple then you should bring a lot of things to protect both of you. I am afraid that Xiawen Dong would ambush you again." A tinge of worry can be seen in her master's eyes.
"No need to worry master, Mo Li left a lot of treasures for me to use in this trip, plus… I am planning to disguise myself." Right now, she looked like a child. So, she wanted to disguise herself and act like a boy instead. With Ji Tian's youthful look and charisma, it would be easy for him to attract followers and friends. She was planning to use this to her advantage. Plus, it would be easy for her to pretend to be Dong Hu's friend and visit the place where he was born using her disguise.
"Since you wanted to go out, then I will let you and that disciple of yours visit another ruin. This time, however, I will let some people go with you to avoid suspicion. Plus, I will inform everyone that you decided to seclude yourself and would not receive any visitors."
"Thank you, master."
"And this… I will give this to you." He handed a necklace. "For your protection. It will only protect you once. But once it is activated, I will know your location. So I would be able to help you."
Fang Yu immediately gave a sweet smile and accepted the necklace. As usual, the Sect Master is really the best. She had been fortunate in this world. After the conversation, Fang Yu immediately left and waited for a disciple to summon them. This time, she disguised herself as a young man called Jin and introduced himself as someone Fang Yu had saved before. As he is not very powerful, he chose to become Fang Yu's servant and was in charge of cleaning potioneering room.
Fang Yu nodded at her appearance. Her face now looked more muscular, and her height was about the same as Ji Tian, with a five-foot-nine frame. She had become skinny, and freckles can be seen in her face. The potion that Mo Li gave her was indeed very effective. Plus, this potion also masks her real cultivation level from powerful people. Meaning, not even someone as powerful as her master would be able to tell her actual cultivation.
When Mo Li gave this potion to disguise herself, she had to bite her lower lip so she could stop herself from asking him where he got it. Fang Yu understood that Mo Li seemed very secretive, and she was not planning to offend him in any way.
"Ji Tian!" The woman named Yunyun walked towards Ji Tian and Fang Yu, who was dressed as a man. "Your master allowed you to come?" She eyed the man standing next to Ji Tian. "Who is this?"
"Oh! This is Jin… he works for my master too." Ji Tian gave a gentle smile. Seeing this, Fang Yu could only roll her eyes silently.
"Hello. I am called Yunyun. I am Ji Tian's friend. I will go to the ruins too. This reminds me that Dongfang Liutao is coming along with us, as well as Fatty Lu." The Fatty Lu that Yunyun was talking about was the Fatty that they met during the entrance test. "We should be careful, and I heard Dongfang Liutao is more powerful now. Of course, that man still can't beat me." Seeing the disinterest in Fang Yu's eyes, Yunyun started talking towards Ji Tian.
"Ji Tian, it seems that your cultivation increased in just a matter of weeks! As expected for having a potioneering genius as a master. Why don't you ask your master to make me a disciple too?"
When Fang Yu heard Yunyun's words, she couldn't help but laugh inwardly at this woman. This Yunyun was so bold and reckless. However, she was also powerful, and she came from a fairly good family. Too bad, Ji Tian doesn't like this kind of woman.
After a couple more minutes, the other youths who will visit the ruins with them arrived together.
"This ruins is located inside a space dimension located in the outer skirts of the forbidden forest. Aside from you, many people from other sects will join. But since people who have higher cultivation cannot enter, most people are only in Qi Condensation stage. Of course, you still have to be careful and be mindful about your surroundings." An Elder spoke.
"I heard that some people would rob other people inside the ruins." Yunyun whispered towards Ji Tian. "We should all be careful."
"Yunyun… the elder said that people that are not in the Qi condensation stage could not enter the ruin? What if someone powerful goes inside?" Fang Yu or Jin asked. Of course, she was worried about this matter. After all, her cultivation level was already considered very powerful.
"You can't go inside. There will be some sort of force that will stop you."
"Oh. Then that's good." She faked a smile. Mo Li told her that no one would be able to detect her real cultivation once she uses this potion. She immediately wondered if that would include the ruin. She recalled Mo Li saying that this was the most potent changing potion that he stumbled upon.
Fang Yu sighed. Going to the ruins would take them three days and three nights. Indeed, she would be able to find a way to check if she could enter the ruins, right? With this in mind, Fang Yu composed and kept her calm. If she can't go inside, then she would just go to Dong Hu's village!
