Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Capítulo 1215: Chapter 881: It’s Because My Willpower Was Weak When I Was Young!

Gu Changsheng heard this, and immediately started yelling in protest.

South Sea Leviathan’s nest, damn it!

If this Nirvana Martial Contest has a ridiculous theme like this, what are we supposed to do?

It was already no small feat for her to escape the marriage, and now you want her to wander all over the world? She wouldn’t mind, but those subjects of hers at home probably wouldn’t agree…

“What the hell kind of ridiculous themes are these? At least with poems or essays, I could still cheat a bit, but this high-level stuff, you can’t even let me cheat?” Gu Changsheng was at a loss.

“Let me tell you, don’t underestimate those young disciples of the Hidden World Families. They’ve just never entered the world; if they did, their achievements wouldn’t necessarily be any less than yours. Each one is a dragon among men, not to mention they have their ancestral teachings in martial arts. You can imagine…” the Medical Immortal Old Man kindly reminded.

“Damn it!” Gu Changsheng, hearing this, immediately lost interest, giving the Medical Immortal Old Man a hopeful look, “Old man, can’t we just not compete? We’re the only generation of successors in Medicine King Valley; there’s no need to fight for a spot in the worldly entry!”

“That’s because you only know that the top ten of the Nirvana Martial Contest get the chance to enter the world! Didn’t know the champion has extra rewards?” the Medical Immortal Old Man remarked, rolling his eyes at Gu Changsheng with disdain.

“What reward?” When she heard “reward,” Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes immediately inquired, but her expression showed little excitement.

Truth be told, although she’s greedy, when everything in the world is hers, she suddenly felt that greed was meaningless because in the end, it was just her being greedy for her own people’s things, so what’s the point?

The Medical Immortal Old Man, seeing her expression, immediately knew what she was thinking, and said leisurely, “Before I departed, I specifically met with some other stubborn old folks. The old guy from the Sun Family said if I could find a disciple to join the Nirvana Martial Contest and win the first place, the reward would be that the winner could go to the Hidden World Pavilion and pick something as a prize! The other old men agreed too!”

“Huh?” Gu Changsheng was dumbfounded.

What old guy?

What Hidden World Pavilion?

The Medical Immortal Old Man shook his head, “The Hidden World Pavilion was co-founded by the ancestors of the Ten Great Clans of the Hidden World. It’s filled with supreme treasures collected by the ancestors! Among them are Divine Medicines that can bring back the dead, and Supreme Treasures that can help a person achieve transformative realms…”

“What did you say?” Gu Changsheng asked, eyes wide in disbelief.

Honestly, she didn’t care about Divine Medicines that can bring back the dead; what she cared about was the Supreme Treasures that could help one achieve transformative realms!

Gu Changsheng vividly remembered that the Dowager Empress Xiao had once told her and Zhou Mu that the reason entering the transformative realm was so difficult was that such opportunities were hard to come by!

As for her, having learned such skills halfway was like a monk without roots, but her evildoer was different; he was a genuine martial artist. If he could obtain the opportunity to achieve transformative realms, the journey northward would be much smoother, and his confidence would be much greater, wouldn’t it?

As the saying goes, “Plans for the future prevent near worries.” Gu Changsheng, though not a worrier, is well aware that the best way to prepare for an uncertain future is to make oneself stronger!

To become invincible so that any ghosts and deities could end up as mere cannon fodder!

“Exactly the kind of opportunity you’re thinking about, one that helps break through heart demons and achieve transformative realms! The first prize of the Nirvana Martial Contest is just this kind of heavenly opportunity, something all martial artists strive for!” the Medical Immortal Old Man said casually, “But don’t get too excited; truth be told, you don’t stand much of a chance. Setting aside your rudimentary kung fu, without your divine affinity, you wouldn’t be able to take on the disciples of the Hidden World Families. Not to mention their kung fu, just the competition for those top ten worldly entry spots is about the same opportunity. Now, with a transformative realm opportunity as the first prize, they’ll be out for blood!”

“Girl, take care of yourself! If you want your evildoer to reach transformative realms, it’s not going to be easy. You’ve got a long way ahead! Such opportunities aren’t cabbages on the street for you to pick at will…” the Medical Immortal Old Man said, shaking his hand as he walked away.

“Old man, stop right there!” Gu Changsheng shouted and accused absolutely naturally, “Old man, admit it, you planned this from the start to trick me, didn’t you?”

Damn it!

He painted such a grand picture, she refused to believe that old man didn’t have any ulterior motives.

The Medical Immortal Old Man turned with a twist of his white eyebrow, “What do you mean?”

“Spit it out! Did you do this on purpose? Knowing that young members of the Hidden World Families would participate, yet you went and arranged such an otherworldly prize. Are you kidding me? I wanted your protection, and you played coy, clearly plotting to watch me fight to the death with others, right? Right? Right?” Gu Changsheng stood with hands on hips, in an all-out call-out stance.

Damn, no wonder she asked that.

Because the more she thought about it, the more it didn’t make sense!

A perfectly good Medical Immortal of the Medicine King Valley, and you say, why being a good Medical Immortal, go be a wine-stealing beggar, then get a saintly urge to save Beauty Sai? Is this a coincidence? Is it really just a coincidence?

Gu Changsheng felt that this coincidence was just too coincidental!

Upon hearing what the Medical Immortal Old Man said today, Gu Changsheng felt even more that something was off!

This was clearly a trap dug for her, a trap so tempting that she didn’t even want to jump out!

“Tell me! Did you already know about the relationship between me and the Guo family’s daughter-in-law, so you’ve been waiting here for me to fall into the trap?” Gu Changsheng persistently asked.

The Medical Immortal Old Man twitched his mouth and couldn’t help but speak, “You little girl, how can you be so narcissistic? The reason why this old man is in Xunyang is because I went south to find you to take you as my disciple. I heard that you ran away from your engagement, and were most likely heading north. This old man thought and thought, figuring Liaodong was the route you’d most likely take, so I came here to lie in wait. But this old man couldn’t resist the temptation of wine, and ended up here in Xunyang to find Huadiao to drink. Who knew you’d show up in Xunyang! This old man just took a glance at that big-bellied woman, who knew she had a connection with you! Do you take this old man for a god?”

“Uh…” Gu Changsheng thought about it and felt that it made sense because their encounter with Beauty Sai was pure coincidence back then!

“Also, the reason why this old man used a rousing tactic to make those old guys change the reward to ‘free to choose’, is because this old man felt that taking an Empress as a disciple is really a bit difficult. Since the reward wouldn’t go to a Medicine King Valley disciple, might as well let those little ones from noble families fight it out, it doesn’t concern this old man, just sit back and enjoy the show!” The Medical Immortal Old Man pointed to the sky and vowed, “Also, this old man feels that being maneuvered out is the result of this old man’s poor willpower when young…”

“Pfft!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but spurt when hearing this.

A hundred and twenty-year-old man, with white hair, eyebrows, and beard, calling himself young…

Young!

Gu Changsheng suddenly thought, the word young truly shouldn’t be used recklessly!

It’s so heartbreaking!

“What? Did this old man say something wrong?” Suddenly interrupted, the Medical Immortal Old Man was very unhappy and feigned anger, “Compared to those old guys who’ve been seeking countless soul hosts in ignorance, this old man is truly, truly young!”

“Yes, yes! You’re young!” Gu Changsheng hurriedly nodded in agreement seeing this.

Have to agree, must agree, or else the Medical Immortal Old Man might really get angry!

“Hmph!” The Medical Immortal Old Man rolled his eyes at Gu Changsheng, and continued grumpily, “Being lured out was because of this old man’s poor willpower, but why did those ghosts follow suit? Sending out all their clan’s disciples as if the world’s about to end!”

“Uh…” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s heart trembled.

Because the Medical Immortal Old Man’s words, inadvertently struck her suspicions!

Someone’s playing the world like chess, but who is it? Could it be the hazy shadow she saw that day?

“So, since they want a spectacle, this old man will let them have it, let them fight, I won’t get involved, just passing by to watch the show!” The Medical Immortal Old Man said, unable to hide the roguishness on his face!

Well, after hearing this, Gu Changsheng had nothing more to say.

This indeed sounds like something the Medical Immortal Old Man would do, not taking anything seriously!

Gu Changsheng thought for a moment, her face showing hesitation, but still, she went with the flow, grabbing a corner of the Medical Immortal Old Man’s clothing, and hesitantly asked, “Old man, can I ask you a question? It’s been bothering me for a couple of days!”

“Ask away!” The Medical Immortal Old Man responded spiritedly.

“That **** unleashed immense power, unstoppable like a flood, water turning to ice, one man holding the pass against ten thousand, overwhelmingly extraordinary, that Kung Fu, thinking about it makes me drool, but can you tell me, why does your cultivation always come with a strong medicinal fragrance?”
