As the Universe Turns - Chapter 838
Chapter 838 Secrets On Your Back
The people nearby were all dumbfounded. The three people invited by Beigong Changfeng were also stunned. Before they came, they had heard how powerful the Lord of Lustless Heaven was. However, they did not expect him to be so powerful. If they had known this was the case, they would never have come.
At this moment, the three of them looked at each other with the same thoughts in their hearts. In the future, no matter what, they must not provoke this person. That fragment of the Heavenly Book would only attract a calamity of death, not something they could touch …
In the city, many cultivators seemed to be in a dream. Many people had just seen the situation in Lei Tian Prison. It was hard to imagine who would dare to go against Beigong Clan and kill his disciple in front of Beigong Changfeng …
…
When dusk fell on Xiao Chen and Qianluo, they were already far away from Wushuang City. In front of them was a quiet valley. However, it was pleasant to see flowers blooming, grass as green as grass, and streams flowing quietly between the trees.
“Let’s stop and rest for a while. Those people probably won’t be able to track us.”
Xiao Chen slowly stopped. Previously, when he was in Wushuang City, the reason why he was in such a hurry to leave was not because of other reasons, but because he was afraid of the person who had shocked him internally. Although that person was not in Wushuang City, his cultivation was truly unfathomable. He was very worried that this person’s secret technique would track him down.
“Childe Xiao …”
Qianluo’s face was somewhat pale. Xiao Chen’s two fingers condensed and pressed against her wrist. Only after probing did he know that she was not a new wound, but a recurrence of an old one. He frowned and said, “What formula did you use to treat your injuries after being chased by the Immortal Alliance?”
Qianluo said softly, “That’s right … the prescriptions that you wrote to me last time, asking me to grab the medicine for you. Otherwise, I probably, probably won’t be able to last until now …”
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “You can’t use the same medicine at will. We have different physiques, different degrees of injuries, and different injuries. How can we use the same medicine? Forget it, do you have any medicinal ingredients left?”
“Yes, yes …”
Qianluo nodded.
…
An hour later, the sky had already darkened. Xiao Chen found a forest and mixed the ingredients with the prescription for the monarch and subjects. He gave it to Qianluo to take. After a while, her expression gradually improved.
“The medicinal properties of those medicines are extremely powerful. If you don’t neutralize them with other medicinal ingredients and take them randomly, if I hadn’t discovered them today, I’m afraid that the root of the illness would have fallen from here.”
“I… I…”
Qianluo lowered his head. His originally pale face suddenly turned slightly red. “I’m not as skilled as Childe in medicine. How do I know how to mix those medicines? I vaguely remember that you told me to decoct them, so …”
Hearing her slowly say this, Xiao Chen gradually fell into deep thought. He felt a wave of bitterness assaulting him. He was skilled in medicine? Even he and Wei Yang can’t be cured, so what kind of medical skill is there to talk about …
Leng Yue was silent in the sky. The night seemed to be getting darker. A cool breeze blew by. Qianluo sat under the tree and looked at him quietly. He was only curious about what was going on in his heart.
After a long time, Xiao Chen slowly regained his senses and said, “Rest for the night. We’ll leave here tomorrow morning.”
“Mm …”
Qianluo nodded and slowly fell asleep against the tree behind her. This was the first time she had slept so peacefully since she killed Dao Wuwei.
The next day, her complexion became better. In order to avoid being tracked down by Beigong Clan, Xiao Chen immediately took her away. Three days passed like this. Every night, with his help in training and healing her injuries, along with the medicinal ingredients he had prepared, Qianluo’s injuries quickly healed by seventy-seven to eighty-eight percent.
This afternoon, the two of them arrived at another valley. As they walked, Qianluo suddenly let out a muffled snort. Her complexion also turned red and white. Xiao Chen saw that she suddenly became abnormal and asked with a frown, “What’s wrong?”
“I, I …”
All of a sudden, Qianluo felt her entire body blazing hot and unbearable, as painful as an ant’s heart. There was a pond by the roadside, and she actually jumped into that pond.
She continued to struggle in the water, as if her mind was also confused. Her hands were constantly grabbing onto her neck, and she quickly grabbed a few red marks.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen knew that something was strange. He immediately jumped into the pond and held her down. “What’s wrong with you?”
“I, I …”
Qianluo still wanted to scratch her body randomly. That kind of pain, not only was it like a myriad of ants digging into her heart, it was as if there were thousands of insects crawling on her body, bitten, painful and itchy. Life was worse than death.
“What’s wrong with you!”
For a moment, Xiao Chen didn’t know what happened to her. Qianluo’s expression was painful, “I … Gu, Gu … In that dungeon, there was a young lady from the Beigong Clan who planted a Gu on me …”
“Why didn’t you say it earlier?”
Xiao Chen grabbed her shoulder and pulled her out of the pond. Seeing that she still wanted to grab her, he immediately pointed at her acupuncture point and said, “Stop grabbing her randomly. The Gu poison will spread faster.”
“I feel so uncomfortable …”
Perhaps she did not expect that the poisonous Gu would suddenly erupt. It must be Miss Bei Gong controlling the female Gu in the cauldron.
“I’ll think of a way to force the poisonous Gu out of your body.”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed as he placed his hands on Qianluo’s back. He used his Spiritual Sense to examine him carefully. However, the Poison Gu was extremely subtle. Even his Spiritual Sense was unable to find the exact location of the Poison Gu through his clothes.
After trying for a while, Qianluo became more and more painful. Seeing that she was about to lose her patience, Xiao Chen frowned and said, “With clothes blocking me, I can’t find the location of the Poison Gu …”
Qianluo’s expression was painful as she nodded. At a time when her life was at stake, Xiao Chen couldn’t care less. He immediately slipped her clothes off her shoulders, exposing her entire back …
After about an incense stick of time, the poisonous insects had been completely cleared by Xiao Chen. Qianluo’s entire body was drenched in sweat, and his back was covered in sweat. He said with a deathly pale face, “Childe Xiao … is it alright …”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “There are still some Gu poison that hasn’t been completely cleared yet. You can circulate your internal strength on your own. I will help you draw out the Gu poison.”
“Mm …”
Qianluo nodded. She immediately circulated her family’s internal cultivation technique, the Thousand Sun Heavenly Dipper Technique. With 30% of Guan Zhen’s internal force, she was now able to circulate this extremely profound internal cultivation technique with ease.
Slowly, the Gu poison was completely cleared out. However, at this moment, Xiao Chen looked at her back and frowned deeply. As the internal force circulated, many tiny words slowly appeared on her back. These words seemed to be carved into her blood. Driven by the internal force, they slowly appeared and emitted a faint red light.
“Luo Die, why do you have so many words on your back?”
For a moment, Xiao Chen still didn’t understand what was going on. He saw that these words would change their order and position as Qianluo circulated her internal force. However, they seemed to be messy words.
“What?”
Qianluo did not know what he was talking about. It seemed that even she did not know the secret on her back. Xiao Chen looked at the constantly changing small characters on her back and said, “There are many small characters on your back, and they will change positions …”
“You … what did you say!”
At this moment, Qianluo’s expression suddenly changed, as if she had finally thought of something.
Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at her, “What are these? Could it be that you never knew?”
“I…”
Qianluo’s face turned even paler. At this moment, he finally understood. Could it be that this was the second scroll of too much forgetfulness? It was Daddy back then … it was Daddy who had printed all the words that he had forgotten to love into his back. He had to circulate the internal force of the Thousand Solar Heavenly Dipper Technique at least three levels before the words could be displayed!
No wonder, no wonder Dao Wuwei couldn’t find the second volume that was too forgetful. How did he know that the second volume that was too forgetful had always been on him!
It’s just that back then, when Daddy was doing this with all his heart, why did he do it? Why …
For a moment, she couldn’t understand. Her mind was in a mess, and cold sweat dripped down her face. After a while, she slowly recovered and put on her clothes. She whispered, “Thank you … thank you, Childe Xiao.”
Seeing that she was still a little lost, Xiao Chen knew that the words on her back must be very important. However, she was unwilling to say anything at this moment, so he did not ask any further. He only said, “We must leave this place immediately. The Poison Gu was forced out here, and they will soon be able to find this place.”
“Mm …”
Qianluo nodded. She got up and put on her clothes. The two of them immediately left this place. At night, they arrived at a large city. This city was no smaller than Wushuang City. There were many cultivators in the city. Even though it was already night, the streets were still filled with pedestrians, carriages, and horses.
The two of them found an inn. This night, the moon was as bright as day. The two of them went back to their rooms. After Qianluo closed the doors and windows, they took off their clothes one by one. Then, they slowly walked to a bronze mirror, their backs facing the bronze mirror. With a stroke of internal force, they slowly turned their heads. Sure enough, rows of small red words gradually appeared inside the bronze mirror …
