261. Chapter 261: Adding Another Member to the Second Team

"Is everyone alright?"

Long Xuan looked at the crew members covered in serious injuries and asked a rhetorical question.

"I'm fine, just need to rest for two days and I'll be good, no major issues!" Xiong Dali struggled to stand up, his footsteps unsteady, but he still insisted he was fine.

Long Xuan nodded: "As long as you're fine. This time was truly perilous, but we have now entered Big Solitary Island, so we are completely safe."

"Let's recuperate on Big Solitary Island for a while. Leng Yan, how much longer will the Heavenly Wind last?"

Long Xuan looked at Leng Yan again and asked.

"Under normal circumstances, it's a month, but this time the Black Whirlwind Ghost Wind is acting crazy, so I can't say for sure how long it will last, but it will end sooner or later."

"Let's hang out on the island for a while first. You don't need to worry on this island; the Leng Clan, one of the five great clans here, is a distant relative of the Leng Clan from my Star Sea City."

"With me here, you have absolutely no need to fear the local bullies on the island."

Leng Yan smiled and was the first to jump off the ship.

"Why didn't you say you had relatives here sooner? It seems I, this captain, will need your protection here."

Hearing this, Long Xuan felt much more at ease and was the second to jump off the ship.

Originally, he was worried that there were too many Gu cultivator factions on the island and feared being troubled by brainless villains. Now, with the Leng Clan, one of the five great clans of Big Solitary Island, as his backing, he didn't need to worry about these problems.

But Long Xuan had always been cautious. Considering that because of the Heavenly Wind incident, there were simply too many Gu cultivators coming onto the island, the island was now a mixed bag of people, and there were bound to be many evil characters mixed in. Since his side's highest cultivation level was only at the peak of Essence Refining, weakness was an original sin, making them prone to attracting trouble.

So, following his old routine, he took out that Third Grade Alchemist outfit again, put it on, and incidentally pinned that Third Grade Alchemist medal onto his chest.

He believed that with a Third Grade Alchemist in the team, no one would dare to look for trouble.

Seeing Long Xuan's actions, everyone on the ship twitched their mouths, their heads full of black lines.

This captain just changed into a Third Grade Alchemist outfit right in front of them? They were all right there; did he really think they didn't exist?

"You're actually impersonating a Third Grade Alchemist! Since when did you get so bold!"

Di Xin was stunned at this moment, looking at him speechlessly after jumping off the ship.

Hearing this, Long Xuan was taken aback and hesitated: "Does impersonating a Third Grade Alchemist attract trouble? I've never heard of that? I've investigated clearly; the Pill God Hall never checks this matter."

"I've also never heard of anyone impersonating a Third Grade Alchemist and then being hunted down by the Pill God Hall, otherwise, how would I dare to impersonate one?"

Di Xin rolled her eyes, looked at him helplessly, and said: "That's because the Alchemist Rank Medal cannot be forged at all, and no Second Grade Alchemist has as thick a skin as you."

"Since no one has ever done such a boring thing, it naturally won't attract the attention of the Pill God Hall. Moreover, the Alchemist Rank Medal cannot be forged at all. Even if others wanted to impersonate one, they couldn't."

"You can be considered to have set a historical precedent."

As she spoke, Di Xin's eyes turned to the Third Grade Alchemist Rank Medal on Long Xuan's chest.

The material of the medal was fine, the style was exactly the same, and it was bound to the person's soul; it absolutely couldn't be something picked up from someone else.

Wait, this Alchemist Rank Medal actually seems real.

Di Xin's eyes widened instantly. At this moment, she was completely unsettled. He actually succeeded in forging this thing; how on earth did he do it? What a talent!

She couldn't help but gasp, asking unsteadily: "How on earth did you do it? You can actually forge this thing? You really are capable of anything!"

"Is it difficult? I successfully imitated it after one look," Long Xuan said calmly, as if he had done something very mundane.

Wasn't it just using several unique materials? The production methods for those unique materials were quickly cracked under his Heavenly Mechanism Eye.

He really didn't feel that the Pill God Hall's anti-counterfeiting measures were very clever; forging a fake Alchemist Rank Medal was truly a piece of cake for him.

Di Xin took a deep breath, sizing him up with a strange look, her eyes darting around, not knowing what kind of devious idea she was brewing in her heart.

However, her eyes were very bright at this moment, as if she had thought of some insidious idea, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled into a beautiful smile.

"Help me forge a Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiner medal, a Fourth-Rank Array Master medal, a Fourth-Rank Talisman Maker medal, and a Fourth-Rank Alchemist medal. I want to use them!"

Di Xin said straight to the point.

Long Xuan's action had inspired her. At this moment, her inspiration was gushing, and she thought of many good ideas for swindling and bluffing, which made her eyes light up.

As long as she had those four rank medals, she could do many things that were previously difficult to achieve, and her swindling and stealing techniques would reach a higher level.

This Long Xuan really is a talent! She had learned another trick.

Hearing this, Long Xuan almost fell over, staring wide-eyed at this Di Xin.

At this moment, how could he not guess what Di Xin was going to do with those rank medals? This Di Xin was clearly preparing to take those Fourth-Rank rank medals to swindle, bluff, and commit evil everywhere. If he couldn't even see that, he would truly be stupid.

Did he inspire her? This is truly a sin!

She actually planned to ask for four types of rank medals in one go, covering all noble professions. Her appetite was truly large; she was clearly planning to do something big!

"No! No! Absolutely not. Don't think I don't know what you're going to do with those rank medals. How could I help a villain do evil and assist in tyranny? I'm a good person!"

Long Xuan hurriedly shook his head and said.

Di Xin's mouth curled up, looking at him jokingly and laughing: "Are you a good person? I really haven't seen it. This ship is loaded with a ship full of good people, only you, this captain, are secretly bad."

"To tell you the truth, when we were at the shipyard before, I recognized your identity at a glance. Do you really think your disguise art can fool everyone?"

"You should understand that it is absolutely impossible for your level of disguise to fool all Gu Kings."

"And I have a Face-Changing Gu. The Face-Changing Gu can turn into the appearance of any person without any flaws. Using the Face-Changing Gu to disguise, I guarantee that even a Gu King won't be able to see any clues."

"My previous old woman appearance was disguised using the Face-Changing Gu. You didn't see through my identity at all."

"It was precisely by relying on this Face-Changing Gu that I played a crowd of Gu Kings around and escaped crisis after crisis."

"At the same time, the Face-Changing Gu can also simulate anyone's aura, including the aura of a peak Gu King."

"Using the Face-Changing Gu to disguise as a Gu King, even the aura can be perfectly simulated. No Gu King can see any flaws."

"And your disguise and aura camouflage have huge flaws; they can only fool ordinary people, not the strongest powerhouses in this world."

"And my Face-Changing Gu can completely solve this problem for you, ensuring that when you disguise as a Third Grade Alchemist, even the aura will be the aura of a Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator. No one will be able to see any flaws."

"Can this Gu be exchanged for your four rank medals?"

"No! Four is a bit too few. I want all the rank medals from First to Fourth Grade, a total of sixteen rank medals. Are you willing to trade?"

Di Xin's smile grew brighter and brighter, looking at Long Xuan with full confidence.

She didn't believe that this caution-freak wouldn't take the bait. Something that can perfectly disguise is simply too useful for a caution-freak; it is absolutely a fatal temptation, something to be obtained at all costs.

Hearing this, Long Xuan's eyes indeed lit up. Something like the Face-Changing Gu made his heart beat faster, as expected.

Di Xin was right; his disguise art was not at the top level in this world. It was fine to fool Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivators, but he really lacked confidence in fooling Gu Kings.

He didn't have the aura of a high-level person, which was undoubtedly the biggest flaw.

But this Face-Changing Gu could actually perfectly solve the aura problem. This was simply a divine artifact for lying low; he must get his hands on it.

Once he disguised himself as having the aura of a peak Gu King, who would dare to provoke him?

No, it was that once he disguised himself as a Fourth-Rank Alchemist, who would dare to provoke him?

With such a divine artifact, why would he still disguise himself as a Third Grade Alchemist? He would directly disguise himself as a Fourth-Rank Alchemist. He wanted to see who would still dare to look for trouble with him.

Long Xuan's eyes shone, looking at this Di Xin who was looking at him with mockery. He sighed inwardly, he was truly seduced by this little girl. This little demoness was truly harmful.

At this moment, he finally knew why Di Xin was mistaken by all the factions of the Xuanyue Empire as a peak Gu King.

The Face-Changing Gu could simulate the aura of a peak Gu King, so it would be difficult for others not to mistake her.

At the same time, so many Gu Kings in the Xuanyue Empire didn't see any flaws, unanimously believing that she was a peak Gu King.

That was enough to show how perfect the disguise of the Face-Changing Gu was, perfect to the point that even a Gu King found it difficult to distinguish clearly, which also gave Long Xuan more confidence in the Face-Changing Gu.

Such a divine artifact, he must obtain it at all costs, Long Xuan decided inwardly.

"Good! It's a deal! Sixteen rank medals in exchange for your Face-Changing Gu!" Long Xuan said without any integrity.

Just a moment ago, he was still insisting that he was a good person and would never assist in tyranny, but now he changed his mind instantly. The speed of his face-changing was astonishing, completely devoid of integrity.

Seeing Long Xuan take the bait so easily, Di Xin's smile grew even brighter.

"Good! It's a deal! This is the Face-Changing Gu, keep it well."

"You can give me the sixteen rank medals before I get off the ship. I'm not in a hurry!"

As she spoke, Di Xin took out a strange Gu worm and threw it towards Long Xuan.

Long Xuan hurriedly caught it, looking at this strange-looking Gu worm in his palm, he revealed a look of surprise.

The Face-Changing Gu was flesh-colored and had no shape, just like a puddle of liquid that could wriggle. It wriggled in his palm, and at this moment, he felt as if he were holding a moving human face skin.

He had to sigh that the world was truly vast and full of wonders, and all kinds of strange Gu worms existed.

This thing should be stuck on the face, right? Long Xuan thought to himself.

Soon, he completed the blood contract with this Gu worm and then stuck this Gu worm onto his face just like applying a facial mask.

He saw the Face-Changing Gu wriggling back and forth on his face, turning into various shapes, and finally, it seemed to merge into the human face, completely setting into the appearance of Di Xin.

Di Xin's face instantly darkened, and she hammered his shoulder heavily, scolding angrily: "Are you looking for death! You are not allowed to turn into my appearance, and you are not allowed to turn into my appearance in the future!"

"Otherwise, I will turn into your appearance and provoke all of the one hundred strongest factions in the Gu World!"

Once these words were spoken, Long Xuan was almost scared out of his wits and hurriedly changed back to his original appearance.

At this moment, he was truly scared. Di Xin actually wanted to turn into his appearance and provoke all of the one hundred strongest factions in the Gu World; that was no small matter!

This was the rhythm of wanting to play him to death. At that time, wouldn't he die a miserable death?

Truly, the most poisonous is a woman's heart; the ancients did not deceive me. This Di Xin is truly too poisonous! (End of chapter)
