Chapter 1: Girl in the rain
Chapter 1: Girl in the rain
Sun-flame Dynasty, Qingmu City.
A heavy rainstorm is coming to the city, with lightning and thunder, and heavy rain pouring down.
Gu Heng stood at the door of his clinic, listening to the crisp sound of bean-sized raindrops hitting the eaves, but a trace of anxiety emerged in his heart.
Such weather is not conducive to others coming to the clinic for treatment, but this thunderstorm trend cannot be changed even by cultivators, let alone an ordinary time traveler like him.
He has been traveling to this so-called "Xuantian Realm" for twenty years.
This is a world of cultivation where the strong are respected.
Gu Heng also wanted to become a cultivator at first, but he couldn't practice, and his body couldn't absorb any spiritual energy, so in this world where cultivators are proud, he didn't even have the qualifications to stand at the starting line.
Just pure waste.
He also has a system, but this system does not help him practice, but helps him cultivate some more unconventional hobbies. Painting and medical skills are relatively common. As for "forging", "health care", "fortune telling", these unconventional ones, he also practiced.
No patients came to visit, Gu Heng also yawned out of boredom and clicked on his "system" panel.
"Host: Gu Heng."
"Cultivation: Not started."
Gu Heng pursed his lips and didn't care about it, so he crossed it out.
Gu Heng pulled down the panel and saw the proficiency of his "skills" that were of no help to cultivation.
Painting, calligraphy, medical skills, forging, fortune telling, and "body training". This body training is actually the system giving him some so-called self-cultivation techniques, letting him practice them casually. After practicing more, his body will be stronger, and then it will be useless.
All "skills" have been clicked to the highest level "superb".
Gu Heng felt that this system was deceiving him.
Because the premise of "excellence" is that you have to have cultivation.
For example, in painting, those cultivators who enter the Tao through painting can easily paint a picture of mountains and rivers with Taoism. Calligraphers can express true meaning with every stroke. Those who see through the secrets of heaven can calculate the past and future of people and the mysteries of life and death. Those with strong medical skills can easily make elixirs and bring people back to life.
These are too far away for mortals.
Because only cultivators can do it, he can't.
Qi training, foundation building, elixir formation, Nascent Soul, out of body, spirit division, fusion, tribulation, Mahayana, and Supreme Saint.
There are ten levels of cultivation, the tenth level of Supreme Saint is the strongest, and the first level of Qi training is the weakest.
Since he awakened the system, he has been thinking about cultivation from the beginning, but after a long time, he has not even reached the first level of Qi training. In the end, he was discouraged and let it go, so he completed all other skills.
These skills are useless, because what mortals can do, even the most ordinary foundation-building cultivators can do a million times better than mortals.
So, among these "superb" skills, Gu Heng chose medicine to make a living.
Mortals also need to treat illnesses, and Gu Heng earns mortal money, not much, but enough. Anyway, Gu Heng has let it go. Maybe he really can't practice, so he has to do this.
But... even on a rainy day, there is an irresistible festive atmosphere in Qingmu City.
Gu Heng looked outside, the sky was full of spiritual light, and the lights were decorated, just like a grand wedding.
"Haha, getting married on a rainy day is not afraid of bad luck."
Gu Heng sneered.
"Doctor Gu, you also received the invitation to watch the wedding, right?"
The one who spoke was the peddler who ran a grocery store next to Gu Heng's clinic.
"Yes, I received it."
Gu Heng took out a blue-red invitation from his robe.
The one who was getting married was the Mo family, the first family in Qingmu City. The Mo family was extremely powerful in Qingmu City. When their eldest young master got married, they certainly made a grand ceremony. This "wedding invitation" was just to invite some mortals to have a casual meal.
The one who was marrying the daughter was the Bai family, which was several times larger than the Mo family.
Gu Heng actually felt it was quite strange, because this marriage was not a match made in heaven. Rather than marrying the daughter, it was more like selling the daughter cheaply.
"The Mo family is getting married tonight. If Doctor Gu is free, would you like to go and have a good meal together?"
The vendor waved the wedding invitation in his hand.
"Forget it. It's a cultivator's wedding. Why would we mortals join in the fun? Go by yourself."
Gu Heng didn't care about this kind of thing.
"...Hmm?"
Gu Heng felt that his eyesight was still very sharp.
In the torrential rain that was almost drowning the earth outside, there was a lonely and sad figure, like a walking corpse.
A closer look revealed that she was a woman with delicate features and a cold and lonely temperament.
...
The woman was alone, walking alone on the streets in the pouring rain, with a dazed look on her face, not knowing where to go.
She, Bai Feier, was once the most proud genius girl of the Bai family, a rare genius in cultivation, and was deeply loved by the family. Countless young talents bowed to her, and countless people admired or envied her...
And now, she was sold cheaply by her family to Qingmu City and betrothed to the eldest young master of the Mo family.
Bai Feier lowered her head and let her tears fall down in the rain.
Everything started three months ago, when she was exploring the great secret realm of the dynasty, and was secretly poisoned by an evil cultivator.
After Bai Feier was poisoned, although her family found many famous doctors and saints for her and she took a lot of elixirs, the "swallowing magic poison" was removed, but her Tao root was completely destroyed, and the remaining toxins continued to erode her cultivation.
As for removing the poison... that's impossible.
Her body is almost fused with the poison. If she wants to remove the poison, it's equivalent to taking her life.
The poison called "Demon Swallowing Gu" can make a person lose their cultivation quickly, destroy the foundation of cultivation, and finally become a cripple.
Yes, this poison, if it doesn't kill people, is far more vicious than killing people.
"Since you've become a cripple, then make some more contributions to the family."
This was the last sentence Bai Fei'er heard from her father.
This marriage is actually a complete joke... As the saying goes, when a genius falls, there are countless people who applaud. Ironically, the size of the Mo family is far different from that of the Bai family. Even so, in order to let the Mo family take over the marriage contract of "selling a cripple girl at a low price", the Bai family even paid money.
When she arrived at the Mo family, the eldest young master who was only at the second level of Jindan, such a mediocre playboy, actually looked down on her!
It was really a different time.
She was eighteen years old and had reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul. In the entire Sun Flame Dynasty, there were only three or four people who could compete with her. But now, she was knocked off the altar. Her cultivation level had fallen back to the eighth level of Qi training in just three months, and this level of cultivation level was still declining...
Even now, getting wet in the rain made her feel cold all over, and her weakness became more and more serious.
If it were three months ago, she could split the rain curtain with a casual sword!
She was still holding her soft sword tightly in her hand, but she almost had no strength to unsheathe it.
"...Damn God, why are you playing tricks on me like this!"
"I won't accept it...I won't accept it!"
Bai Fei'er looked up at the gray sky and sighed, but her voice was quickly drowned out by the sound of rain.
Suddenly, death became something that was not so scary.
Or, let your life end here?
Rather than being married to this dandy boy of the Mo family, it would be better...
She lowered her head and looked at the sword in her hand. Her eyes gradually became cold, her fingers trembled slightly, and she slowly drew out the sword.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded behind her: "Girl, why are you walking alone on the road in this heavy rain?"
Bai Fei'er suddenly turned around and saw a young man standing in front of her. His eyes were beautiful, dark and clear, like a pool of autumn water, warm and pure. He held a paper umbrella to temporarily block the rain curtain.
"You..."
She was a little panicked at first, because no man could get so close to her, but then she thought, in this heavy rain, there was actually someone who came out of nowhere and held an umbrella for her. This person... is interesting.
"Sir, thank you."
Bai Fei'er silently put the half-drawn sword back into the sheath.
"It's just a small favor, young lady, you don't have to be polite." Gu Heng said, "It's raining heavily, young lady, please come to my clinic to take shelter for a while."
Bai Fei'er hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The two walked into the clinic side by side. The furnishings in the clinic were simple, but clean and tidy.
While Gu Heng was making tea, Bai Fei'er observed him. He was just a mortal, without any trace of true energy. If it were the case before, Bai Fei'er would not even look at mortals
because they were ants.
But she herself was about to become an ant.
"Come, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."
Gu Heng brought back the brewed tea and placed it in front of Bai Fei'er. He looked at Bai Fei'er's face, which was quite pretty. Bai Fei'er also noticed his gaze and felt a little annoyed, thinking that this man's gaze was really presumptuous, but Gu Heng suddenly said, "Miss...are you sick?"
Hearing his question, Bai Fei'er was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I have some serious illness."
Even a mortal could see that she was poisoned and had cancer. She was really miserable.
"Well...this symptom has lasted for some time."
He moved closer to observe and touched Bai Fei'er's white wrist to feel her pulse. This action made her a little resistant, but when she thought of his benevolent heart as a doctor, she endured it.
Compared to the arrogant young master of the Mo family, the mortal in front of him was polite and upright.
"I have some medicine here. You will be fine after taking it, young lady."
Gu Heng immediately walked to the counter, grabbed a few handfuls, and then went back to the back room to cook the medicine.
Bai Fei'er just thought it was ridiculous. How could a mere mortal understand her problem? That was a problem that even the most elite medical masters of the dynasty could not cure.
Although she knew that mortal medical skills were useless, Bai Fei'er thought it was better not to reject his kindness. When the soup was cooked and handed over, she picked up the steaming soup bowl and took a sip.
Then, her face was shocked.
Because, after the ordinary soup entered her mouth, it quickly turned into a pure and huge powerful medicinal power, flowing through her veins and muscles all over her body... All the remaining poison in her body disappeared in an instant, and her originally weak and powerless body gradually returned to normal.
"Huh..."
At this moment, Bai Fei'er seemed to see hope, but she seemed a little bit unbelievable. She stared at the bowl of brown medicine blankly, muttering to herself: "This, this... is the solution?"
Then, her long-lost cultivation quickly recovered. After a few breaths, she broke through the foundation building stage, entered the Dan formation stage, and reached the seventh level of the Nascent Soul!
She broke through!
Just because she drank a small sip of this bowl of medicine!
Bai Fei'er sat in a chair in a daze, looking at the heavy rain outside the window with a hazy look in her eyes, and the shock in her eyes was beyond words.
What kind of medicine is this? !
(My new work-
1.I am only mortal but why do you all all treat ma as a immortal!
