Free Web NovelChapter 979: Chapter 979: Ye Lianyi’s True Face
When Liu Zixuan secretly felt pleased with his X-ray Vision, Ye Lianyi suddenly retreated, first forming a seal with her hands. A force of Medical Dao magic appeared from between her fingers and started to spread around her. Soon, her previously somewhat youthful appearance and skin began to change.
It was like a youthful girl of eighteen or nineteen, still slightly innocent, suddenly transformed into a mature woman of twenty-three or twenty-four.
But it wasn’t a magical transformation; Ye Lianyi reverted to her true appearance!
In her twenties, her mature charm was fully revealed, adding more allure that captivated men compared to her earlier pure girl persona.
If she was a budding flower with the Youthful Appearance Technique, now she was a fully blossomed one.
Her features were more exquisite, and the mature aura between her brows was more pronounced.
At this moment, even those who knew her well and were mentally prepared found themselves slightly stunned.
However, Ye Lianyi didn’t stop, her slender jade fingers slowly waving in front of her, pulling off a thin paper-like layer, revealing yet another face before Liu Zixuan.
"This... how is this possible!"
Liu Zixuan, initially stunned, was now genuinely shocked.
In his understanding, the Youthful Appearance Technique only made people younger, never altering their appearance. Yet now, Ye Lianyi had undergone a drastic transformation.
Originally, her appearance embodied the epitome of celestial beauty, but now it looked entirely different. Her deep black pupils subtly conveyed a hint of brown, her skin became even more fair, and her originally sparse eyelashes grew denser, resembling a mixed heritage.
It was like the sudden transformation from a certain Liu to a sensation reminiscent of Gulina.
"Are you a mixed heritage?" Liu Zixuan asked in shock.
"My mom is a foreigner," Ye Lianyi leaned closer to Liu Zixuan: "Do you dislike this look now?"
Not at all, how could he dislike it!
Most men now fancy mixed heritage beauty, the amalgam that results from celestial melding is what many men desire, what ensnares many men’s minds.
Liu Zixuan once wondered when he might meet such a beauty, yet hadn’t realized one was beside him all along!
He immediately embraced Ye Lianyi with a close examination, smiling: "You really surprised me, I couldn’t have imagined you were of mixed heritage. But that’s strange, typical Disguise Techniques can’t escape me; I can see through it."
"That you have to ask your master then."
Seeing Liu Zixuan so delighted, Ye Lianyi felt immense joy and, leaning against his chest, smiled: "This was all your master’s doing, though such a Disguise Technique can only trick Martial Artists below the Emperor Realm Second Heaven. For those above, all concealing techniques are mere facade."
"Then, are the people behind Qian Lin Bai Hua and the Sect Leader of the Ghost Valley Sect already above Emperor Realm Second Heaven?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"I’m uncertain about my father, but in my view, the Sect Leader of the Ghost Valley Sect is far more complex than just the Second Heaven," Ye Lianyi muttered.
Liu Zixuan pondered, considering that it makes sense, as it’s a Hidden Sect, home to true potential and secrets!
Mumbling, he thought aloud: "But my master never mentioned she knew such magic."
"Perhaps it’s related to the Medical Skills you practice," Ye Lianyi raised an eyebrow: "Think about how the Venerable Ghost Nether defected from the Ghost Valley Sect, passing down Medical Daoist Skills that must be Ghost Valley Sect skills, right?"
"Indeed, and it’s evident my Medical Skills are largely similar to the Ghost Valley Sect’s, a collective of various strengths," Liu Zixuan puzzled: "Is there an issue with that?"
"Not quite. I’ve experienced your Medical Skills, and after discovering the Venerable Ghost Nether’s association with the Ghost Valley Sect, I compared the Medicinal Skills; despite similar broad strokes, the foundations differ greatly."
"Ghost Valley Sect’s Medical Skills besides Ghost Doctor Techniques purely heal and cure, yet yours, despite not being Ghost Doctor Techniques, assist your realm’s progression. Doesn’t that seem odd?"
Ye Lianyi paused, then smiled profoundly: "Moreover, even your master’s medical skills differ from yours."
"That’s impossible, all my Medical Skills were taught by my master!" Liu Zixuan immediately dismissed that notion.
"Zixuan, don’t rush to deny it. Let me ask you, aren’t your eyes different from others’?" Ye Lianyi asked seriously.
Liu Zixuan paused, "How did you know?"
"Looks like I guessed correctly. I’m not entirely certain but in Ghost Valley Sect’s ancient texts, there’s mention of a special eye known as the Blazing Dragon Eye, and throughout history, only one person possessed it."
Liu Zixuan, catching Ye Lianyi’s drift, chuckled awkwardly, "It’s Shennong."
"Back when you could see the Medicinal Qi outside the Pill Tower and the Pill Qi inside in Qian Nan Land, I suspected. Later, when learning more Medical Skills at Ghost Valley Sect, I suspected even more."
Ye Lianyi looked up, smiling: "Shennong once identified herbs with this Blazing Dragon Eye, accompanied by a Medical Dao Treasure Manual, the Holy Medical Scripture. So your medical skills likely come from the Holy Medical Scripture, right?"
Liu Zixuan nodded, since Ye Lianyi already knew, he didn’t conceal it.
Upon acquiring the Blazing Dragon Eye in Lingxiu Village, Liu Zixuan directly thought of Shennong, though all this time, he merely used the Blazing Dragon Eye as an X-ray Vision tool!
Yet, that was before obtaining the Holy Medical Scripture, and the Blazing Dragon Eye followed afterward.
Frowning, mumbling: "Could it be my medical skills weren’t from the Medical Immortal Sect taught by my master?"
"That you’d need to ask your master about; I assume since we’ve guessed this far, she wouldn’t hide it from you anymore."
Ye Lianyi paused, then added: "I suspect your master knows countless secrets unknown to us. The Blazing Dragon Eye isn’t something the ordinary can possess, its requirements are extraordinarily stringent, possibly related to your ancestry."
Ancestry...
Such foreign words, Liu Zixuan felt overwhelmed instantly. If Ye Lianyi’s guess was correct, his beautiful master hides many secrets. Perhaps bringing him to Spirit Extinct Mountain to accept him as a disciple wasn’t as simple as it appears.
Shaking his head: "These matters should be pondered later, let’s handle current affairs first."
"Then let’s rest; current affairs must proceed step by step!" Ye Lianyi said with a smile.
"No, no, no, current matters can be addressed tonight," Liu Zixuan grinned mischievously, "With such a beautiful mixed heritage beside me, how could one rest!"
