“Warning… Decline…” Gu Qingqiu recalled the feeling of nausea and vomiting she had experienced. It turned out that it wasn’t because she was pregnant, but because her internal organs were being compressed, which was sending a warning signal to her brain.
Gu Qingqiu laughed at herself, realizing that she really didn't understand the rules of the cultivation world. She had indeed taken the "warning" seriously, but she had gone to the other extreme, continuing to accelerate her cultivation and even breaking through to the Golden Core stage...
"Then why don't I feel any discomfort in my body now?" Gu Qingqiu asked quickly.
The doctor explained, "This is naturally because after your cultivation level improved, the pain of ordinary mortal physical bodies can no longer cause you any pain. In addition, your internal organs have deteriorated to a certain extent, so they will no longer issue warnings."
"Is there any solution now?" Gu Qingqiu hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
The doctor shook his head in frustration. "My skills are limited. I've only seen some records of your condition in ancient books, but I haven't personally diagnosed it, so I can't prescribe any medicine for you. I'm sorry. But you can try taking some herbs or pills with healing properties, or look for some techniques that can heal your internal organs. Until then, it's best for you to rest at home and avoid using your internal energy."
Gu Qingqiu sighed. She had just used up her inner strength for several days in a row to help remove the Chilong mark, and it was a huge drain on her energy.
So... "Will my symptoms of organ failure affect my physical lifespan?"
The doctor nodded with some regret, "If he takes good care of himself, he can live for another three to five years, unless a way to recover can be found before then."
"Three to five years..." Gu Qingqiu got up, thanked the doctor, and then found an inn nearby to stay.
After taking a bath, Gu Qingqiu sat on the couch in a daze, sometimes thinking about how to contact Jiang Chenxin, and sometimes wondering if Jiang Chenxin would take the initiative to find her, and if he did, would he recognize her?
After advancing to the Golden Core stage, Gu Qingqiu's perception of her surroundings improved significantly, including her hearing. Therefore, Gu Qingqiu's wild thoughts were quickly interrupted by the ambiguous moaning sounds from next door.
With the idea of not listening to what is improper, Gu Qingqiu was about to shut down her hearing and start meditating when she suddenly felt that the voice next door was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it again, she realized that it seemed to be the female voice she had heard when she first came to this world.
The person next door is also a disciple of the Deng Le Zong!
Although the girls at the time all expressed their desire to "turn away from darkness and embrace light," judging from the current situation, at least the one next door is still "returning to his old ways."
Gu Qingqiu planned to talk to the other party after they finished their business next door. She had been locked in the cave for too long and was completely unaware of the changes in the outside world. She didn't know if Deng Le Zong had been rebuilt. If it had, she wanted to go back and see her master to see if he could help her with her physical weakness.
The commotion next door stopped after about half an hour. A little while later, a nimble figure flew out of the window next door, and Gu Qingqiu quickly followed.
The partners in the dual cultivation of the Dengle Sect are sometimes voluntary, and sometimes they are bewitched. However, for their own safety and other considerations, Dengle Sect disciples usually drug their partners and run away after the dual cultivation ends.
So when the other party discovered that he was being followed by Gu Qingqiu, he became extremely nervous and took several detours. However, in the face of strength, any disguise was superfluous. As a cultivator who had already reached the Golden Core stage, Gu Qingqiu's physical fitness was far superior to that of the other party.
The other party gradually realized that Gu Qingqiu meant no harm, so they ran towards the woods in the suburbs.
Gu Qingqiu followed.
The other person stopped in his tracks. "Senior, what business do you have with me? I have always been dutiful and do not know when I offended you. If so, I apologize on my behalf."
Gu Qingqiu recognized the other person; they were indeed from the same sect, and everyone called her Douhua. So she took off her veil and said, "Senior Sister Douhua, it's me."
The woman was taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "Thirteen! You're alright! We were all so worried about you! Were you really captured and forced to cultivate with that evil cultivator? Did you escape now?"
Gu Qingqiu quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, senior sisters, I made you worry..." Then she briefly recounted her experience.
Douhua was stunned. "Thirteen, your experience is too fantastical..."
"Sigh." Gu Qingqiu sighed, "Let's not talk about that. How are Master and everyone doing? Are they alright lately? Has the sect been rebuilt?"
"Let's talk somewhere else." Senior Sister Douhua led Gu Qingqiu to her room, made her a cup of tea, and then began to tell her story.
"The sect headquarters has been rebuilt, but there are still not many people there. Everyone only goes back to reunite on important days. Otherwise, they go their separate ways. Master is always worried about you and has told everyone to go back and tell her as soon as they have any news about you. If Master knew about your current physical condition, she would be very worried."
Gu Qingqiu said guiltily, "I'm sorry to have worried you, but please don't tell Master about this yet."
Senior Sister Douhua was anxious. "How can this be? Your condition is so critical right now. We need to inform Master as soon as possible so that we can find a way to treat you."
"I..." Gu Qingqiu stammered, "I have some relationship issues that I haven't sorted out yet, so..."
"Oh..." Senior Sister Douhua looked knowing and smiled ambiguously. "Your evil cultivator lover? What? You've fallen for him? Is he particularly virile?"
Gu Qingqiu was too embarrassed to discuss such a taboo topic with others, and her face flushed red. "Senior sister... please stop teasing me! I really don't know how to handle my relationship with him right now..."
Douhua, the senior sister, also stopped smiling and asked seriously, "Do you like him?"
Gu Qingqiu considered it carefully for a while and replied, "I like it."
"Then what are you worried about?" Senior Sister Douhua asked, puzzled. "Judging from your description, you two are in love, and... you're a good match in some ways! If you're worried about your health, the Asura Sect has plenty of precious medicinal herbs and secret manuals. Maybe one of them can cure you?"
"But he's never seen what I look like...and I even hid my identity..." Gu Qingqiu felt increasingly guilty, "I even placed our secret mark on him..."
Douhua was truly shocked. "Is he doing this willingly? Does that mean he'll have to listen to you and do whatever you say from now on? What are you afraid of? Just contact him and meet him!"
