Chapter 614: Chapter 298: Luminous Snake Reception Group!_1
 

Compared to Shui Miao, Jin Ya and Fang Mu undoubtedly had more topics in common.

Coming from the illustrious Jin family, Jin Ya had stood atop the pyramid from a young age and basically did not have the opportunity to make friends.

Jin Ya’s noble birth did not allow her to make friends carelessly.

Making friends casually did not suit Jin Ya’s status, and she seldom had the opportunity to meet peers with whom she could communicate harmoniously.

Reading had become a habit of Fang Mu, and this habit of his was bound to endow him with profound knowledge.

Fang Mu had lived a life longer than Jin Ya, and the knowledge Fang Mu possessed in his previous life was beyond Jin Ya’s reach.

Fang Mu did not deliberately show off his knowledge, but in subtle ways, it molded him.

This gave Jin Ya and Shui Miao the impression that there was a sense of mystery about Fang Mu.

This mysterious aura firmly convinced both Shui Miao and Jin Ya of Fang Mu’s identity as a Grandmaster Disciple of the Founding Sect.

Without this, Shui Miao and Jin Ya would find it difficult to imagine what kind of person could possess such vast knowledge.

In their conversations with Fang Mu, both Shui Miao and Jin Ya gained insights.

Seeing that the time was appropriate, Fang Mu prepared to end the conversation.

It was almost time for Fang Mu’s meeting with the Luminous Snake Clan.

Fang Mu initially planned to go with Shui Miao, but now that Jin Ya and Qin Shao had arrived, he could not simply leave them behind.

So, Fang Mu extended an invitation to Jin Ya.

“Aya, I will be meeting with Shui Miao and the Luminous Snake Clan for a trade discussion shortly, would you be interested in joining us?”

“If you are going, I will extend the invitation to Elder Qin Shao as well!”

If this had happened before, Jin Ya would definitely have declined Fang Mu’s invitation.

This was because her great-grandmother had been prolonging her life by relying on a special spiritual material.

This spiritual material allowed the speed of life consumption to slow down to 0.6 times that of a normal person.

However, exerting her powers to cleanse her body would result in the acceleration of life consumption.

This meant that Qin Shao, whenever possible, tried to avoid combat.

She fell ill frequently because she couldn’t clean herself with her powers, so Qin Shao had been in poor health all these years, lacking vitality.

Now that her great-grandmother Qin Shao had received Fang Mu’s guarantee of life extension, she could stop taking that spiritual material from today and there was no need to continue consumimg it.

With the weight off her heart, feeling very close to Fang Mu, Jin Ya readily accepted his invitation.

Seeing Jin Ya’s interest, Fang Mu entered the Mechanism Fortress and knocked at Qin Shao’s door.

Fang Mu had only knocked twice when Qin Shao opened the door.

Fang Mu found that Qin Shao’s room was full of snakes that were continuously crawling into Qin Shao’s sleeves, which looked rather eerie.

When he had seen Qin Shao previously, her pupils were a brownish amber color, but now her pupils had turned into a dark golden color.

Her pupils presented a vertical slit, just like a snake’s.

Seeing Fang Mu, Qin Shao waved at him and then spoke in a soft voice.

“Because of the medication I had been taking, I couldn’t use my powers to cleanse my body, which made me feel like an old, wrinkled hag.”

“Now that I have you, I don’t need to take that medication anymore. I’ve just got rid of the residual drug effects in my body and I can finally return to my original form!”

While speaking, Fang Mu observed that Qin Shao’s previously stooped figure had gradually straightened up and the old, wrinkled skin on her face and hands had started to loosen up, becoming fair, tender, and firm.

Qin Shao’s facial features, which were once obscured by her old skin, had started to define themselves.

Within two minutes, Qin Shao, who previously looked like an old woman, had transformed into an exotic looking lady who looked around thirty years old.

Qin Shao looked at her hand and then checked her face in a mirror.

Qin Shao let out a soft sigh.

In the past few decades of not using energy to cleanse her body, her appearance had considerably aged.

Seeing Qin Shao so concerned about her appearance, Fang Mu suddenly remembered the ‘Peach Beguile’ cosmetic products that Feng Chenhao had given him.

The cosmetics Feng Chenhao gave Fang Mu were not in commercial packaging, but were in exquisite bottles made from polished amber.

Powdered Heaven Fragrance Peony and Restoring Appearance Palm Oil were stored in these amber bottles.

While the amount of Heaven Fragrance Peony powder was fixed, the concentration of Restoring Appearance Palm Oil was much higher than any product available on the market.

Within just a few months, Peach Beguile had developed hundreds of products.

In reality, the effects of rejuvenation could be achieved with the Restoring Appearance Palm Oil alone, so a simple facial cream was sufficient for reversing the signs of age.

Knowing Qin Shao’s fondness for skincare, Fang Mu took out a bottle of cream and handed it over to her, saying,

“Elder, I have a secret formula face cream here that can make you look younger.”

“If you apply a thick layer of it, within an hour, you’ll find that you look several years younger than before!”

Qin Shao had cherished her appearance since she was young and had taken great care of it.

Upon hearing that the oil from the brains of the Far Ocean Yellow Whale could result in fairer skin, she sent out two strong teams to hunt the whale when she found that she could not obtain it through trade.

One could say that she had used all sorts of high-quality skincare products when she was young, which is why she was able to maintain her good looks despite being on the brink of death!
