Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

"Since that's the case, then I'll accept the offer without hesitation." Gu Chen laughed, "I'll take this notorious womanizer back and give him a thorough trial so he can't harm anyone again."

"Thank you very much, Lord Gu." The Yu family head and the rest of the Yu family bowed to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded and led the way.

Two guards dragged the unconscious flower thief towards the Night Watch of Nine Bays City.

It's not too late yet.

along the way.

It immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers, and inevitably, people started talking about it.

"What's going on? How come someone was knocked unconscious and taken back by Lord Gu?"

"Could it be that some fool has offended Lord Gu again?"

The two guards from the Yu family who were dragging Mei Jingfei hurriedly explained, "This man is a notorious womanizer. He came to our Yu family today intending to commit a crime and defile our young lady. Fortunately, Lord Gu arrived in time and subdued him. If it weren't for Lord Gu, our Yu family would be in danger. Now we are taking him to the Night Watch prison."

"What? This guy is a notorious womanizer?"

Everyone watching was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, the flower thief who has caused such panic in Jiuwan City these past few days has come to light.

Tonight, I was actually captured by Lord Gu Chen, the head of the Night Watch.

Lord Gu Chen is truly amazing!

The authorities had been searching for the notorious flower thief for several days without success.

They had only sought help from the Night Watch for a day, and they were already caught.

Not only is Master Gu exceptionally talented in cultivation, but he is also a first-rate detective.

They led Mei Jingfei back to the Night Watch.

Enter the Night Watch.

Lin Fei and Liang Xiaoyun were also stunned by what they saw.

After Gu Chen explained the situation to the two of them.

The two were so shocked they couldn't speak.

They had only gone to ask Gu Chen for help a short while.

Gu Chen then captured the notorious flower thief.

They really think they're gods.

How did he do that?!

"Lock him in jail first. I'll interrogate him myself later," Gu Chen said to the two.

"Yes, sir." The two men immediately led their men and locked Mei Jingfei in the dungeon.

He was unconscious at this time.

Gu Chen was careful in his attack, only injuring him and rendering him unable to fight.

But they didn't kill him outright.

They were taken to prison.

Gu Chen searched him thoroughly and found more than five thousand taels of silver notes, as well as a secret technique.

It was that "Bone Shrinking and Disguise Technique".

Gu Chen was overjoyed and immediately blacklisted it.

Then he said to Lin Fei and Liang Xiaoyun, "You two will interrogate him next. After the interrogation, take him to the government office tomorrow. The government office can decide how to judge him."

"Yes." Lin Fei and Liang Xiaoyun accepted the order.

Gu Chen nodded and left.

Mei Jingfei is a member of the Haoran Academy.

He should just arrest him.

The rest is up to the government to decide.

To avoid trouble caused by powerful figures from Haoran Academy coming to demand his return.

Anyway, he's already gotten what he needed.

In the prison cell.

puff!

Lin Fei splashed a basin of ice water directly onto Mei Jingfei, instantly waking him up.

He glanced around and saw that he was being held in a cell, with two Night Watch officers in front of him.

Mei Jingfei felt utterly devastated.

Ruined.

He was still arrested.

He felt his injuries; they were extremely severe. He could only feel pain in his internal organs, and he was unable to mobilize his true energy.

He hasn't revealed his identity yet, and doesn't know what the Night Watch will do with him. If they kill him outright, it would be a great injustice.

However, if his identity as a disciple of the Haoran Academy were exposed, although these Night Watch disciples would not kill him.

But if this matter is exposed, not only will he lose face, but the reputation of Haoran Academy will also be damaged, and he will not fare well either.

What to do!

He was furious.

On the other side...

In the Xiling Mountains.

A disciple from Haoran Academy came to report to Su Lin: "Senior Brother Su, Junior Brother Mei went out today and hasn't returned yet."

Upon hearing this, Su Lin frowned slightly.

Mei Jingfei really can't distinguish between what's important and what's urgent.

Now everyone's attention is focused on the excavation of the tomb's treasure.

He even had the inclination to do this kind of thing every night.

These days, while they are digging for treasure in the tomb, they are also keeping an eye on the people of the other three top forces.

They all live in the Xiling Mountains.

Only Mei Jingfei would go to Jiuwan City every night and rush back in the middle of the night.

As fellow members of the Haoran Academy, they naturally knew Mei Jingfei's character.

In the past, it was one thing.

At a time like this, he's still thinking about this kind of thing; he's truly hopeless.

As a disciple of Haoran Academy, if this matter were caught and exposed, not only would Mei Jingfei be ruined in the process.

Their Haoran Academy's reputation will also be damaged.

However, Mei Jingfei's background was unusual; he was the son of a teacher at Haoran Academy.

The instructors at Haoran Academy are all of the highest rank.

That's why everyone spoils him.

"Keep an eye on this place. If Mei Jingfei hasn't returned by dawn, send someone to search for her again," Su Lin said.

"Yes." The disciple from Haoran Academy nodded.

On Gu Chen's side.

After he returned to his mansion from the Night Watch prison.

He then took out the book "Shrinking and Disguise Techniques" that he had obtained.

Next, place it in a copper bowl.

Let's learn this secret technique first.

Copper bowl tip:

[A special secret technique called "Bone Shrinking and Disguise Technique" can be learned by paying 500 taels of silver.]

This special secret technique costs as much silver as a first-grade martial art for a traveler.

He had just received 30,000 taels of silver as a token of gratitude from the Yu family.

They also found five thousand taels of silver on Mei Jingfei.

Now that I have enough money, I don't care.

Five hundred taels of silver were put into it, and the silver disappeared.

The insights into this secret technique instantly entered Gu Chen's mind, allowing him to successfully begin learning it.

[Spend 800 taels of silver to exchange for a minor level of mastery of the "Bone Shrinking and Disguise Technique".]

Continue by placing eight hundred taels of silver into the copper bowl.

An even greater realization entered Gu Chen's mind.

Let him comprehend this secret technique to the point of minor mastery.

continue!

A profound understanding requires 1,500 taels of silver.

Gu Chen put the silver in.

The secret technique is complete.

The final step, achieving perfection, is indicated by feedback from the copper bowl:

[Spend three thousand taels of silver to achieve full mastery of the "Bone Shrinking and Disguise Technique".]

Gu Chen put the silver in without hesitation.

At that moment, an immense realization flooded into his mind.

May he comprehend this secret technique to the point of perfection.

Ancient secret techniques were employed.

His bones crackled and popped as they rapidly compressed and rearranged.

It made him half a head shorter, and his facial features changed to resemble those of a middle-aged man.

Gu Chen changed his body shape and face again, transforming himself into Lin Fei's appearance, and his body shape also became similar to Lin Fei's.

A perfect level of bone-shrinking disguise technique means that he has mastered this secret art to its fullest extent.

He can change his appearance to resemble anyone he knows.

Gu Chen tried again, changing his appearance to resemble He Teng's, his physique to be similar, and even his voice to be imitated.

It's amazing.

With this secret technique...

He will no longer need to use a human skin mask to change his appearance.

All you need to do is prepare several sets of clothes and put them in a copper bowl. When needed, you can take them out and change into them, and then use the bone-shrinking disguise technique to change your appearance and figure.

It allows you to transform yourself into another person.

At the same time.

Xiling City, Xiling City Night Watch.

The head of the Night Watch of Xiling City came to report to He Teng: "Sir, we have investigated and found out that the people from the four top-tier forces—the Divine Fist Sect, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, the Haoran Academy, and the Golden Radiance Palace—have come to Yuehai County recently for a treasure tomb in the Xiling Mountains. During this time, they have been forcing people from several third-rate forces in the four nearby cities to help them dig the entrance to the tomb. Judging from the progress, they should be able to find the entrance to the tomb in a few more days."

"Good." He Teng was delighted to hear this and said, "You did a good job. Keep an eye on things and let me know when they start digging up the tomb."
