Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1380: Chapter 1035: She Wants to Become Strong Too! (2)

”That woman, although her skills are decent, hasn’t even found her Taoist Root yet. How could she possibly make a breakthrough in such a short time?”

Dugu Jieao’s words were well-founded, as he believed that the Spiritual Treasure was incredibly rare, a great fortune that Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu definitely wouldn’t be so lucky to attain!

Dugu Xu, seeing how confident Dugu Jieao was, naturally dared not say more and could only stand respectfully below.

Dugu Jieao’s face darkened as he looked outside the guest room and said solemnly, ”Indeed, Linyuan City is full of hidden talents. The mere City Lord’s Mansion, could it actually produce two Masters of the Primordial Transformative Realm? The Shi Family truly should not be underestimated! Just hoping they don’t ruin our plans this time! Such a rare opportunity in a millennium, the Hidden World Clan cannot afford to miss it! Moreover, our Dugu Family must seize the spotlight and gain the upper hand!”

Saying this, Dugu Jieao’s old face bore a determined expression!

”Elder is right! But there are only ten spots available to enter the world, which worries me...” Dugu Xu hesitated upon hearing this and spoke up.

”What? Are you worried you won’t win the Nirvana Martial Contest?” Dugu Jieao’s eyes turned sharp as he glanced back at Dugu Xu and said in a stern tone, ”Don’t worry, with me here, you will surely win the Nirvana Martial Contest! Seeking fortune by heading north into the world is all well and good, but whether you can actually find it is another matter. However, the reward for the First in the Nirvana Martial Contest is a genuine Spiritual Treasure, a great chance to conquer the Transformative Realm! If not for the high hopes that the clan places in you, even I would covet it!”

”Yes! It’s all thanks to the Elder’s guidance. I will do my utmost and not bring shame to the family!” Dugu Xu replied, immediately saluting with respect.

”Hmph!” Dugu Jieao snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, ”Dismiss yourself and keep an eye on the happenings at the City Lord’s Mansion. If we can find out who is making a breakthrough, all the better!”

”Elder, should I continue to urge for the timing of the Nirvana Martial Contest?” Dugu Xu pondered and asked.

”Urge? What use is urging? You can’t even see the steward of the City Lord’s Mansion! This City Lord’s Mansion, truly abusing their power! If not for this place being the starting point for your journey connecting south and north, I wouldn’t endure such humiliation here!” At this time, Dugu Jieao still remembered going to the City Lord’s Mansion to see Gu Changsheng, only for the Linyuan City’s Lord to send a high-nosed servant to dismiss him without even a meeting!

This was sheer contempt!

However, Dugu Jieao, after all, was not a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm, and under the possible threat of Shi Wujue being such a master, he could only swallow this humiliation!

Dugu Xu, seeing Dugu Jieao like this, was at a loss, not knowing whether to stay or leave...

”Dismiss yourself, there’s no need to urge for the Nirvana Martial Contest’s timing any further. I would like to see what plans Shi Wujue has! Hosting the Hidden World Clan’s Nirvana Martial Contest in Linyuan City is a great honor for Linyuan City. If he truly continues to delay, it would be disrespectful. If he tears the mask of civility and opposes the entire Hidden World Clan, then the clan won’t fear a couple of Primordial Transformative Realm masters! Hmph!” With that, Dugu Jieao snorted coldly, ignoring Dugu Xu, and headed into the inner chamber of the guest room. The battle at Licheng had cost him two Spirit Bodies, leaving a significant injury to his path, so he needed to train well now!

Dugu Xu hesitated for a moment and then turned to leave the inn.

That day, some were happy while others were worried!

Meanwhile, after waking up and finishing a light meal and medicine, Gu Changsheng couldn’t sit still.

”They say nine deaths and one life, and having narrowly escaped death, it’s like getting a second chance at life! Now even the evildoer is about to break through to the Transformative Realm; I can’t afford to stagnate like this!” Thinking so, Gu Changsheng, ignoring Ling Xi’s protests, struggled to get off the White Jade Bed and began moving back and forth along the jade-paved paths among the flowers and plants in the Heaven Deceiving Hall.

She could not continue like this, resting in bed like an elderly person. There were many things waiting for her to do, and she couldn’t afford to slack off!

With the Divine Tears gifted by Shi Wujue, allowing her evildoer to successfully achieve the Transformative Realm, her original plans had changed!

Originally, she intended to win the Hidden World Clan’s Nirvana Martial Contest and bring back the top prize to help her evildoer break through, but now it was unnecessary. She couldn’t let this heaven-sent Supreme Treasure go to waste, could she?

Win! She definitely had to win!

But since her evildoer wouldn’t use it, she herself could!

Though her martial training had always been underwhelming, that didn’t deter her resolve to become a master!

Thinking of the masters of the Transformative Realm, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but think of Fufeng Tianlan, feeling a gnawing hatred!

Damn it, she must tear that wicked woman Fufeng Tianlan apart with her own hands, or her anger won’t be appeased!

So, she had to become stronger! Very strong! Strong enough to have a fair fight with Fufeng Tianlan!

However, the cultivation methods of people in this era were truly difficult for her! Although she had a body full of inherited Inner Strength, she couldn’t fully integrate it, let alone make further progress!
