"Ahem..." Clearing her throat and rubbing her nose, Wu Shuyu felt a little embarrassed since she said all that out loud. "Hehe… Sorry..."
The old man let out a laugh as he said: "It's fine. Don't worry about it. I do have to ask you, Miss Wu… When did Wu Shuyu pass away?"
The old man's words struck Wu Shuyu like lightning! Her palms started to sweat as her thoughts ran wild 'How the hell did he know the old Wu Shuyu had died!? Well since he already knew there was no sense and hiding it. Honesty is always the best course of action in situations like this. As I am always an honest and upright person! I would never do anything that was wrong never would you see me try to swindle someone! If worse comes to worst I can run! '
"Well, I have only been in this world for a little less than a day!? Not too sure because I fell asleep again so I have lost track of time. But I have to ask how did you know?" Wu Shuyu stated honestly.
The old man once again let out a laugh. "That is because I have special eyes who can see a person's soul. Each person's soul is different looking and yours is not that of Wu Shuyu's. I could tell before you even entered this room. I know Wu Shuyu's soul since the poison in you was put there by none other than me by the real Wu Shuyu's mother's request. When the old Wu Shuyu was first born she already had spirit power and it was abnormally high. A newborn can not handle such high amounts of spirit power. So at her mother's request, I gave the old Wu Shuyu a poison that would help to continually release the spirit power within her body back out into the world. It also made it so that it was extremely painful for her if she ever tried to cultivate before she reached an age where her body could handle it. I was actually going to head over and visit with in the next few days. It seems I waited too long though. I did not realize that Wu Shuyu was receiving such treatment." The old man let out a sigh as he lowered his eyes. He seemed a bit regretful that he did not help the old Wu Shuyu. But Wu Shuyu did not think that the old Wu Shuyu would blame him. He did what he did in order to save her life.
"I will give you the antidote. It would be best if you took it here in the special chamber I have prepared. The reaction of the spiritual qi in the air will more than likely rush right towards you. I wouldn't be surprised if you broke through to the fifth or sixth stage of Body Refinement in one go. Also, do this old man a favor and live a good life for that poor lass. It seems that girl lived a hard life after her mother passed." Wu Shuyu watched as the old man once again let out a long sigh.
Seeing his regretful expression Wu Shuyu felt kind of bad for him. "Old Man, what's your name?"
"Gong Bo just call me Old Gong." Wu Shuyu got good vibes from this old man he was like an old grandpa.
"Then Grandpa Gong, In my past life I was called Wu Shuyu as well as in this one. I'm not from this world so I hope in the future if I ever need help understanding anything you can answer my questions at that time." Wu Shuyu felt that this Grandpa Gong was very trustworthy hence why she told him she was from another world.
Gong Bo laughed out loud he never thought in his lifetime he would be called grandpa. Since she called him grandpa he would think of her as a granddaughter from now on."Un... Any time… I do suggest you don't mention anything about being from a different world or the fact that you are not the real Wu Shuyu. This is the only advice I can give you at this time. Now go get rid of your poison."
Wu Shuyu nodded her head and went into the chamber Grandpa Gong had set up for her. The chamber was connected to the back wall and had a staircase that led down. There were only ten steps made of stone but ten steps were enough to be a few meters underground. Wu Shuyu entered the chamber and closed the door before sitting down in the middle of the chamber. The white porcelain bottle in her hand had the image of a dragon painted on to it. It was very intricate and detailed. She really liked the design a lot as she traced her fingers over it. She opened the bottle and poured out a single medicinal pill. It was black in color but it gave off a strong scent of herbs. Wu Shuyu had a bad feeling that it was going to taste nasty though. And she was right. When she popped it into her mouth it instantly dissolved into the most horrific bitter taste in the world. She almost puked it up as it entered her mouth. It was really that bad. Wu Shuyu was even hitting the floor with her fist as she forced herself to swallow it. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she puckered her lips, that was just how bad it was!
But after swallowing it, Wu Shuyu felt a cool sensation spread throughout her body before she felt spiritual qi begin to enter her body. At first, it was slow then it sped up and went from a small little trickle to a massive flood as the spiritual qi poured into her body without any restrictions. At first, she was receiving the same kind of pain she did when she tried to cultivate earlier but soon it turned into a warm soothing feeling. Wu Shuyu had to be honest it was a little nice… Okay really nice. It was like getting a full body massage where every part of her body was being massaged at the same time. Yes, every part of her body. Minus the happy ending of course… What? You all got dirty minds!
