Chapter 16 016 There are also gossip books in the world of immortal cultivation.
Lu Qingqing was a little stunned.
Does Shochiku have more than one health problem?
And it’s a more serious problem than Qi stagnation?
But Songzhu can eat and sleep, and he doesn't look like he's seriously ill...
After calming down a bit, he asked politely, "Doctor Wan, what disease does my friend have?"
Doctor Wan put down the brush and blew on the prescription he had just written.
"Miss, your friend has a problem with his soul." He was silent for a while. "To be precise, one of his souls is sealed."
Lu Qingqing was very surprised. "At first, I took his pulse and injected Qi into him, but he didn't notice anything."
A person has three souls and seven spirits, each with its own function. Any deficiency will affect the functioning of the body, and will also be reflected in the pulse and the circulation of true qi in the body.
Although she was not a medicine practitioner, it was impossible for her not to notice such an obvious problem.
What is going on?
"I don't blame you." Doctor Wan saw Lu Qingqing's expression of doubt about life, and his expression softened slightly, his tone becoming gentle. "Even I had to take his pulse and observe his face again and again before I discovered the abnormality. This young man's spiritual wisdom has been sealed by someone using a secret technique. I have studied medicine since I was a child, and I have never learned any techniques related to the soul, so I am unable to break the seal."
"No wonder he's a little crazy..."
Lu Qingqing realized that her mouth was faster than her brain, so she quickly swallowed the word "stupid".
Among the seven souls, the spiritual and wise soul controls a person's thinking and wisdom. Generally speaking, the spiritual and wise soul energy of intelligent people is stronger, and vice versa.
However, Songzhu's spiritual wisdom was completely sealed, and his intelligence level was such that he would help others count money even after being sold.
Yes, it was indeed sold. Lu Qingqing silently held her forehead.
"If it were an ordinary person whose spiritual wisdom and soul were sealed, they would have long ago spoken like a fool, drooling." Doctor Wan said, "This young man is able to judge people. One reason is that he has the foundation-building cultivation. The other reason is that he has been implanted with the Word Spirit Technique. Although it is strange, it has no effect on his body."
Lu Qingqing: ...
I didn’t expect that the “male slave program” that I joked about actually exists.
The short and fat boss who sells male slaves must have a master behind him.
No, that's not the point.
"Doctor Wan, how can we release the sealed soul of Songzhu?"
"One is to use your powerful internal energy to break it open." Doctor Wan shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, "Unfortunately, my cultivation level is not high enough. The person who placed the restriction on this young master must be at least at the Nascent Soul stage."
This means that if you want to forcibly lift the ban, you must have a powerful person at the level of a spirit.
"What about the other method?" Lu Qingqing asked hurriedly.
"This secret technique should come from a sect that exorcises evil spirits. Miss, you can go to the Tianshi Dao, Longhu Mountain, Fumotang, and other sects and ask them to lift the restriction for you."
Lu Qingqing was overwhelmed.
But on the bright side, at least the true energy in Songzhu's body is no longer blocked. Even if his brain is not very smart, he can protect himself as a foundation-building cultivator.
After she thanked Doctor Wan solemnly, her eyes slowly moved to the couch.
Songzhu was still sleeping, but his complexion looked much better than before. A little boy was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
"Miss, your friend will be asleep for another two hours." Doctor Wan gave her a warm reminder and handed her one of the prescriptions. "You can go do something else first and come back to pick him up later and get the medicine while you're at it."
"Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Wan." Lu Qingqing bowed slightly.
…
After leaving Jishiditang, Lu Qingqing wandered absentmindedly on the street.
Receiving so much information at once, her brain processor was a little overloaded.
First of all, we can’t just ignore Songzhu, we have to help him cure his illness.
Secondly, as far as she knew, the sects that Doctor Wan mentioned were scattered all over the Dawn Continent. Which sect should she go to first for medical treatment?
Again, if the time spent seeking medical treatment exceeds three months, how should her charming physique be handled?
I summoned System 008 and asked for its opinion, but this useless thing didn't know anything.
"What do you know?" Lu Qingqing was angry.
The system said weakly: "I know you are in a bad mood now. I can tell you some good news."
"explain."
"The system will soon open a new function for you."
"What function?"
"It has a space storage function." The system was proud. "Then you can put all your treasures in it."
Lu Qingqing: "Excuse me, where is the baby?"
The system laughed dryly, then said seriously, "Originally, you need to reach the Golden Core stage to unlock this new feature, but since you are kind and helpful, I've unlocked it early as a reward. Also, there will be a surprise in the space, you'll know when the time comes."
Well, Lu Qingqing admitted that she was in a much better mood now.
"Miss, today we have the precious Nanbihai pearl powder. It is a great product for beauty and nourishment. Come in and take a look. You can even try it!"
The attentive voice of soliciting customers interrupted Lu Qingqing's thoughts.
Before she knew it, she had arrived at the door of Jubao Tower.
It doesn’t matter where you go. Last time I was so focused on attending the auction that I didn’t take a good look at the “sales floor” on the first floor. I’ll make up for it today.
The person who greeted the guests at the door happened to be the guy who introduced the "Spring Joy Picture" a few days ago. He was quite considerate and hurriedly welcomed Lu Qingqing in.
There aren't a lot of people in Jubaolou today, but there are people at almost every counter, so it's quite lively.
"Today we not only have pearl powder from Nanbihai, but also hairpins made from the beautiful jade from Dongmeng Mountain. They are all very suitable for a beautiful girl like you." The clerk enthusiastically promoted the products while inviting Lu Qingqing to go to the counter with the most people.
Lu Qingqing also recognized him and teased, "Aren't you selling books today?"
The clerk chuckled and said, "We haven't received any new stock in the past few days. I'll keep an eye out for you on what kind of books the girl likes."
Seeing that the counter selling new products was crowded with young women, Lu Qingqing said, "There are too many people here. I'll go read some books."
The guy responded quickly, "Okay, this way, girl."
The bookshelf was indeed doing very little business today. There was only a man who looked like a scholar flipping through a storybook, looking very absorbed in it.
Lu Qingqing passed by and saw a few big words on the cover: Beauty | Sexy Fox Girl and Pretty Scholar
...As expected, every world is the same.
The waiter began to introduce the place with familiarity, saying that the novels that girls like to read are on the first floor, the books related to cultivation are on the second floor, and the other miscellaneous books are on the third floor. If you need exquisite works such as rare ancient books, you can tell him and he will go to the library to look for them.
"Are there any books introducing the various sects in the Dawn Continent?" Lu Qingqing asked.
The clerk looked a little surprised, but his good professionalism prevented him from showing it obviously. "Yes, we have it, but it's not on display because there are not enough buyers. I may need to go to the warehouse to look for it. Please wait."
Lu Qingqing naturally understood his doubts.
As a cultivator, you should have some knowledge of the various sects in the Dawn Continent. Why would you buy such a useless book?
...Of course it's because she traveled through time. There are so many sects on the mainland, how could she know so much?
As for why you should buy this kind of book - you have to study the business scope of Tianshidao, Longhushan, and Fumotang, and find the sect that is most likely to lift the restrictions in Songzhu's body.
She smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, little brother."
…
While the clerk went to the warehouse to look for books, Lu Qingqing also began to read the books on the counter carefully.
It is called a counter, but it is actually a three-layer shelf. Customers can take down items and browse through them at will, which is more user-friendly.
The first layer of stories are basically about love, which she is not interested in.
The second level contains very simple introductory skills and some sword and knife manuals, which are not what Lu Qingqing needs.
There is no classification on the third floor, and all kinds of books are available, even various erotic pictures.
It can be seen that this type of book has good sales, large inventory, and fast updates.
Lu Qingqing skipped over them, her eyes drawn to another book - Jiuzhou Xiuxianlu
It sounded like the name of a xianxia novel, but the content was actually stories and legends from various continents. Lu Qingqing flipped through the pages and happened to find the title of "The Ten Most Handsome Men in the World of Cultivation."
The content related to Master Feng of Yunmiao Sect is exactly the same as what the storyteller said.
It is obvious that the storyteller read the gossip in the book and told it to the onlookers, making a profit by acting as a middleman.
"Miss, sorry for the wait."
While I was flipping through the pages, the waiter came back to the counter with a thick book.
"This one is the most comprehensive." He used a feather duster to clean the dust off the cover. "It contains introductions to hundreds of sects in our Dawn Continent."
Lu Qingqing looked at the book, which was almost as thick as a dictionary, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
"Okay, I'll take this one."
"Miss, do you need the 'Jiuzhou Xiuxianlu' you have?" the waiter took the opportunity to sell her a copy. "This book is selling well. Many girls say it's interesting, especially the part about the handsome immortal cultivator. They particularly like it."
Facing the waiter's passionate gaze, Lu Qingqing silently deleted the word "no" in her heart.
It would be nice to buy it and pass the time, right?
"Pack this book together."
…
Doctor Wan was truly an accomplished doctor. He said Songzhu would wake up in two hours, and he opened his eyes exactly two hours later.
"How do you feel now?" Lu Qingqing felt relieved when she saw his rosy face.
"Master... Qingqing." Songzhu still remembered the order not to call her master outside, and abruptly changed his words, "I feel refreshed and strong now."
"Your Qi has just been unblocked, so don't overexert yourself." Doctor Wan glared at Song Zhu and instructed him sternly, "Meditate for the next two days and practice breathing exercises. Don't fight with anyone. Take the medicine I prescribe, and you'll be back to normal in three days."
"Yes." Songzhu nodded obediently, "I will definitely be obedient."
"Thank you, Doctor Wan." Lu Qingqing saluted. "If it weren't for you, Songzhu's Qi would still be blocked."
Doctor Wan finally smiled, "No need to thank me. I hope everything goes well for you and that you can remove the seal from the young master's body soon."
…
The moon was at its zenith and the inn gradually became quiet, but the lights in Room A were still brightly on.
Song Zhu was meditating and regulating his breathing as instructed by the doctor, while Lu Qingqing was looking up the thick "dictionary" called "Compendium of Mainland Cultivation".
Time is short and the task is heavy. The sooner we find clues to the next step, the more hope we have.
Unfortunately, the books in the world of cultivation do not have a catalog, so it is impossible to retrieve the content you want to see at once, and you can only search page by page.
I've read fifty pages so far, and they're all unnecessary.
Lu Qingqing turned to page fifty-one, took a quick glance, and was about to turn the page when she saw the name of the sect.
He raised his hand, but stopped in mid-air.
