Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1377: Chapter 1033: It’s Called Divine Tears!

Although Gu Changsheng lacked any deep family heritage, she understood the concept of ”extremes bring reversal” well enough!

Using a whole city to gather evil energy was not a common feat. Over the years, they’ve accumulated countless evil energies, yet Linyuan City remained unharmed by the backlash of these gathered forces. There must be hidden secrets within the Heaven Deceiving Hall; it’s not as simple as she thought!

At the very least, after spending so much time healing in the Heaven Deceiving Hall, she hadn’t felt even a trace of evil energy; on the contrary, it was incredibly beneficial for her weak body to recuperate. All this reeks of strangeness!

There must be something she overlooked!

And judging by the situation, the key she ignored was precisely this ancient, plain box in Shi Wujue’s hand!

Shi Wujue looked at Gu Changsheng, a faint smile playing on his lips, ”Did the beauty think of something? You’re right! The box in my hand is the key to why our city has remained unharmed while gathering evil energy till now!”

At this point, Shi Wujue pondered for a while, then extended the box in his palm slightly towards Gu Changsheng, smiling gently, ”Open it and have a look, this is a gift from me to you!”

”For me?” Gu Changsheng asked incredulously, pointing at herself. Then she hastily shook her head and waved her hands, refusing, ”No way! I don’t even need to look at this; it must be very valuable, and I can’t accept it!”

Goodness, even though Gu Changsheng was a greedy person, the saying goes, ”A gentleman loves money but takes it in the right way,” right? She considered herself a gentleman among villains, even though in a group of gentlemen, she might just be a small one. But this didn’t change her inherently kind nature!

Taking small advantages was fine, harmless on either side!

But this box was different, even though Shi Wujue hadn’t explicitly said it, Gu Changsheng wasn’t foolish. She quickly realized that this thing was the supreme treasure controlling the backlash of the Evil Gathering Formation!

Although she didn’t understand formations, her old man was a Mysticism expert!

Under his influence, even if she hadn’t learned it herself, she’d heard enough about it. To suppress the backlash of such a heaven-defying formation was incredibly difficult. There’s an old saying: every advantage has its disadvantage, fortune and disaster are shared, and there’s no way you can deceive the Heavenly Dao without paying the price!

The world operates on this simple logic!

Everything comes with a price, especially deceiving the heavens!

Without looking, Gu Changsheng knew that to have a treasure to avoid the cost after deceiving the heavens—this was a defiance of nature!

”Are you really sure you don’t want it, beauty? Think it over?” Shi Wujue saw Gu Changsheng refuse and raised an evil eyebrow with a smirk, ”This thing is the key to helping that Zhou kid safely reach the Transformative Realm! Do you want to watch him suffer misfortune? Let me tell you, achieving the Transformative Realm means your spirit leaves the body, death is only physical, and the soul remains—it’s an existence against the heavens. Throughout the ages, many have tried to break that shackle, to reach the Transformative Realm, but all have perished under the Heavenly Dao’s suppression!”

”If you really want to watch Zhou fall here, then you can refuse the City Lord’s gift!”

After saying this, Shi Wujue motioned to retrieve the box.

”Why?” Gu Changsheng, however, asked solemnly at this time, ”Why help us? Only a godsend opportunity can help someone reach the Transformative Realm! Shi Wujue, why help us? Don’t tell me it’s because of your past ties with that evildoer! You and I are the same kind of people, indifferent and unruly in the human world, who can only genuinely care for someone else if they’ve shown equivalent sensitivity towards us! But we haven’t! Though an old tie exists with that evildoer, it’s just a formal friendship, which is as light as water, so why offer a Supreme Treasure coveted by the world?”

Gu Changsheng considered herself someone who, despite seemingly indifferent to everything and just playing through life, had a good eye for people!

Shi Wujue’s actions were too abnormal!

She didn’t know, nor did she care, what secrets Heaven Deceiving Hall held, but only a godsend opportunity could help someone safely achieve the Transformative Realm!

The contents of this box must be a Supreme Treasure coveted by everyone! Furthermore, from what Gu Changsheng learned from the Medical Immortal Old Man, even the Hidden World Clan sent their members to the outside world this time to seek lingering opportunities, hoping their descendants could stabilize their entry into the Transformative Realm and gain longevity!

Thus, it goes without saying how precious the contents of this box are!

Gu Changsheng was certain, if placed outside, it would undoubtedly cause a bloody storm in the Itinerant World, with countless masters vying for it!

But now Shi Wujue wanted to give it to her, just like that, with a simple word!

Yes!

She really needed this opportunity now, whether for that evildoer or herself, they desperately needed this chance to break through barriers and reach the extraordinary Transformative Realm. This was why Gu Changsheng came to Linyuan City because the Medical Immortal Old Man told her that the opportunity prepared by the Hidden World Clan for the Nirvana Martial Contest winner was precisely such an opportunity!

At that time, Gu Changsheng was determined to win this chance for that evildoer, to increase their chances of entering the North!

But as events turned, she nearly died in the Secluded Valley, and her evildoer, under the blow, tried to break through the Transformative Realm without a godsend opportunity—none of this was what she expected!

Just when Gu Changsheng decided to leave things to fate, Shi Wujue handed over a godsend opportunity to her!

What is this called? This is called offering water to the thirsty, providing a pillow to the sleepy! This is called delivering coal in the snow!

However, the timely assistance amidst the snow was too coincidental, the gesture too grand, leaving Gu Changsheng no choice but to ask!

Why?

In the battle of the Secluded Valley, Shi Wujue descended like an unexpected Divine Weapon, rescuing her from certain death!

Now, when her evildoer forcefully breaks through, he once again holds a Life-Saving Charm before her!

Everything is so coincidental, so fortunate for Gu Changsheng, yet this fortune always arrives so suddenly, as if everything is within Shi Wujue’s control, leaving Gu Changsheng no choice but to ponder deeply...

Even if she’s suspicious from jealousy!

Still, caution is the mother of safety, isn’t it?

”What is the Beauty pondering? Haha...” Shi Wujue looked at Gu Changsheng’s serious and contemplative face, chuckled bitterly, and pushed the box in his hand forward, speaking solemnly, ”If I, the City Lord, tell you that it’s because I’m fond of you, therefore cannot bear for you to see that Zhou fellow’s demise in sadness, and thus sent you this item, would you believe it?”

”I...” Gu Changsheng was stunned upon hearing this.

She hadn’t expected Shi Wujue to speak so boldly, forcing her to turn her gaze towards the Little Palace Maid Ling Xi standing aside, whose previous words unexpectedly aligned with Shi Wujue’s declarations...

The City Lord likes you...

I, the City Lord, am fond of you...

No! This can’t be true!

Gu Changsheng shook her head; she would rather owe a debt of lifesaving gratitude than a debt of affection. A lifesaving debt can be repaid, albeit by repaying with her life, but how does one repay a debt of affection?

She cannot repay it! Nor can she afford it!

”Haha!” As Gu Changsheng’s face displayed a complex expression of beauty, Shi Wujue suddenly burst into laughter, forcibly stuffing the box into Gu Changsheng’s arms, playfully saying, ”I, the City Lord, was joking! Take it! Inside the box is a drop of True God Blood, essence blood left by the Divine Relic that can dispel worldly evil. Zhou Mu, having entered the Dao through the slaughter of prolonged battles, what opportunity in the world could aid his Conquest Realm but this? When he visits the Heaven Deceiving Hall for dinner, give this to him!”

Having said this, Shi Wujue turned and walked out of the Heaven Deceiving Hall.

Gu Changsheng remained somewhat stunned, staring at the box that had suddenly appeared in her arms, watching Shi Wujue’s departure. She suddenly regained herself, tentatively stepping forward, and called out anxiously, ”Shi Wujue...”

She suddenly wanted to say something about his previous assertion of affection, but given his subsequent jest, she was at a loss for words...

Always the same!

He is always like this!

Whether saving her or now offering the Divine Relic opportunity, he earnestly reveals his fondness, only to dismiss it with a jest!

This leaves Gu Changsheng speechless!

Wanting to explain, she worries about being seen as taking things too seriously, feared to be regarded as self-absorbed, but not explaining feels improper, as she’s already engaged!

Staring at the box in her hand, Gu Changsheng genuinely wished to return it to Shi Wujue...

Yet, the contents of this box concern her evildoer’s life! Conquest Realm is as formidable as defying destiny, how is it easy? Gu Changsheng heard Dowager Empress Xiao and the Medicine Immortal Old Man repeatedly discuss its dangers!

Thus, she cannot!

In the moment of hesitation, Gu Changsheng’s heart suddenly recalled a line of poetry from a previous life: ’Return the bright pearl with tears, lamenting not meeting when unwed...’

Zhang Ji, the disciple of the Han clan, persisted with unwavering resolve; how could Gu Changsheng not?

People’s hearts are small, accommodating one person is already the limit!

Let alone anything else?

”Ah! Forgot to tell the Beauty, all great opportunities have names; the pearl condensed from the essence blood in this box also has a name, it’s called... Divine Tears!” At this moment, Shi Wujue, who had already walked several steps, suddenly turned back...
