Chapter 109: Marvelous Body Innately Bears Secret Script
“Is this a test, or rather, a trial?”
Fang Shu accompanied Xiao Li Li as they walked toward the Quiet Room in the Du Gu Guan.
His mind was filled with various thoughts, speculating on the Dojo Master’s earlier intentions.
But soon, he rejected his previous idea in his heart: “No, it’s not a test or trial, but a ‘reward’!”
Helping Xiao Li Li with such a matter, no matter how well he did it, according to what the Dojo Master said and based on Fang Shu’s own judgment, this matter was still a nine-deaths-and-one-life situation.
Otherwise, the problem with Xiao Li Li’s body wouldn’t have dragged on to this extent, and Xiao Hu would have resolved it for his own daughter long ago.
This kind of failure was to be expected, while success would be sheer luck. If it were used as a trial, that old woman would be far too unwise.
Moreover, even if it were a trial of various kinds, Fang Shu would soon successfully go up the mountain and leave Gu Ling Town. Even if the Dojo Master had other benefits in hand, they couldn’t compare to joining an Immortal Sect.
If she set up a trial just because of a mere outsider, hindering the master-disciple relationship, it might only be a pity for Fang Shu, but for the Dojo Master, it was clearly unnecessary.
And considering it from the perspective of a “reward.”
If this matter succeeded for Xiao Li Li, then Fang Shu could gain her gratitude. This woman would owe him a tremendous favor; even promising herself to him would be nothing much, as it would be like giving her a second life.
And if it failed, Fang Shu could still obtain a Ripen and Fall Medicine Ginseng, without taking on any karma for avenging this woman. As long as this matter wasn’t leaked by the master and disciples, there would be no trouble at all.
Even if it was leaked, at most Ling Bai Quan might be jealous that he got a bargain.
Pondering in his heart, Fang Shu thought to himself:
“Master’s intention must be to let me decide. To see whether I want the person or the medicine.
She didn’t force me to choose, but left it entirely to my own thoughts and intentions.”
Realizing this, his heart felt at ease.
However, even after he brought Xiao Li Li into the Quiet Room, he still hadn’t made a decision.
“Li Li, Fang Shu, I’ve prepared the items for you.”
At this time, Du Yu Er was already waiting in the Quiet Room.
She was standing in front of a large wooden tub, with hot water already poured into the tub, and a medicinal aroma wafting in the Quiet Room, clearly indicating that the hot water in the tub was not ordinary.
In addition, talismans were pasted around the outside of the tub, which could continuously heat it, maintaining the temperature of the medicinal liquid inside the tub.
Du Yu Er wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, cast an encouraging gaze toward Xiao Li Li, walked over, held her hand, and said warmly: “Give it your all, don’t disappoint your uncle’s hard work.”
Xiao Li Li lowered her head, her eyes still slightly red, and nodded heavily.
Du Yu Er then looked at Fang Shu, sighed lightly, didn’t say any instructing words, and only said softly: “Junior Brother, just do your best.”
Then, this woman exited the Quiet Room and activated the restriction outside the Quiet Room.
In the quiet stillness, only Fang Shu and Xiao Li Li were left together.
The two of them, a lone man and woman, felt a bit awkward for the moment.
Xiao Li Li’s body was now almost no longer human-like, but she was still a woman, and there was some embarrassment in bringing it up.
It was Fang Shu who looked around and spoke: “Take off all the items that might hinder casting the spell.”
Hearing this, Xiao Li Li breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, then obediently removed all her clothes and even her last bits of possessions, placing them in a corner of the Quiet Room.
Finally, she stood in front of Fang Shu with her head lowered, instinctively covering herself with her hands.
Apart from a bit of shyness, this woman’s cheeks were now unusually flushed. At this moment, she felt quite inferior, afraid that her current appearance and form would disgust Fang Shu.
Fang Shu showed no avoidance at all, carefully examining the woman’s body before him.
Her limbs were thin and her belly large, skin and bones, her cheeks even like a skeleton. It was better to say she was the starving ghost from legends than a person.
“I’ve heard that starving ghosts get hungrier the more they eat, stuffing their bellies until they burst and still not stopping.” Fang Shu thought to himself.
Seeing her like this, he sighed lightly in his heart.
Thinking that although there was some grudge between him and this woman’s father, Xiao Hu was already dead, and moreover, this woman’s previous behavior toward others was mixed, good and bad, unlike her father Xiao Hu.
“Let her be, see what good fortune she has.” Fang Shu finally made his decision in his heart.
It was just an ordinary spiritual medicine, and this woman wasn’t a bad person and hadn’t harmed anyone yet.
And he, Fang Shu, had already received the Dojo Master’s reward. This kind of spiritual medicine wasn’t something rare that could help him develop spiritual sense or refine Qi, so it wasn’t worth him ruining his own character by deliberately harming someone.
Fang Shu planned to follow Master’s instructions, do his best, treat this matter as a normal task without personal motives.
Then, under Fang Shu’s instructions, Xiao Li Li arduously climbed into the wooden tub by herself.
The mist in the room rose even more.
Fang Shu didn’t help her or anything; he casually removed his own clothes on the side, taking off his outer items as well.
According to the Dojo Master’s instructions, this time he needed to use his body’s yang vigor and qi and blood as much as possible to help the Medicine Ginseng in Xiao Li Li’s body mature. At that time, his own qi and blood would be stimulated by the yin energy of the Medicine Ginseng, becoming extremely hot and restless.
Removing the outer clothes could spare him some trouble.
As a man, Fang Shu had no unspeakable inferiority complex and was too lazy to be coy, so he naturally followed Master’s advice.
With a plop, he entered the wooden tub.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the tub, even before starting to cast the spell, waves of heat surged from Fang Shu’s body, making his muscles swell and his whole body tense—this was the effect of the medicinal liquid.
Xiao Li Li sat in the water, feeling the furnace-like heat from the man in front of her, her whole body flushing red, not daring to lift her head to look at Fang Shu.
When Fang Shu’s fingers inch by inch bone touched and examined her body, she bit her lips tightly, afraid she might let out a whimper.
Such an ambiguous scene made Xiao Li Li’s mind dazed, as if in a dream.
But the Fang Shu in front of her had a serious expression, completely earnest.
Seeing this, Xiao Li Li immediately felt ashamed, not daring to make too many movements, and even more afraid of disgusting Fang Shu.
Then.
After carefully checking, Fang Shu focused his attention on her abdomen, and strands of his qi and blood seeped into Xiao Li Li’s body.
Soon, a sense of astonishment arose in Fang Shu’s heart.
The roots of the Medicine Ginseng indeed formed a dense net, enveloping Xiao Li Li’s entire body, indistinguishable from her internal organs, meridians, and blood vessels.
A human-shaped Medicine Ginseng, red and vibrant, was hidden in this woman’s abdomen, full of vitality and abundant spiritual essence!
In Fang Shu’s perception, rather these roots and this Medicine Ginseng seemed more like the main body of this physical body.
Especially at first glance, this scene even had a startling beauty, with its own rhythm surging within.
This situation momentarily captivated Fang Shu, immersing him in it.
Even the Dao Talisman in his mind trembled slightly, immediately recording the map of the meridians and roots inside Xiao Li Li’s body.
“This is… Secret Script?!” Fang Shu stared intently, his heart greatly moved.
