Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

A sharp roar suddenly echoed through the bamboo forest, startling countless birds and plunging everything into chaos!

”It’s Jiu Yu!” Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened with surprise almost the instant he heard the sound.

This old voice, clearly belonging to someone of age, kept referring to itself as Jiuer. Though this name made Gu Changsheng feel a bit squeamish, he was absolutely certain that the source of this voice was their ultimate goal on this journey—Jiu Yu!

The owner of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, Jiu Yu!

Having found Jiu Yu, how far away could the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp be?

The injury to her Divine Soul had at last found a possible cure. How could Gu Changsheng not be overjoyed?

Though she still didn’t know how she came to have this Divine Soul injury, this didn’t stop Gu Changsheng from hoping for a return to health and the ability to control her powers!

Some things Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue didn’t mention, so naturally Gu Changsheng couldn’t know, but some things, even without them saying, Gu Changsheng could guess.

The inability to control her powers was likely related to her Divine Soul injury!

About this, Gu Changsheng had no great worries. She firmly believed that Heaven will always leave you a way out and was more convinced that everything would turn out right in the end!

In simple terms, Gu Changsheng was the kind of person who neither completely believed in destiny nor entirely disregarded it. See, hasn’t it all turned out well?

She carried a Divine Soul injury, and Jiu Yu, after fifty years of effort, had forged the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp. And, as luck would have it, this lamp, despite being a Divine Weapon with no other special abilities, just happened to be able to heal a Divine Soul injury!

What do you call that?

You call it fate!

At this moment, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt that, after all, the Heavenly Father still favored her, hadn’t cut off her path, right?

Ha-ha, this feeling of finding a way just when the cart reaches the mountain or when the paddle reaches the bridge and the waterway widens, is truly bittersweet, so Gu Changsheng’s mood instantly brightened!

However, Gu Changsheng’s delight did not last long. As she and her companions quickened their pace to trace the source of the voice, heading towards where Jiu Yu was located, upon seeing Jiu Yu in person, Gu Changsheng was a bit dumbfounded...

Heh heh...

”Are you sure Yong Shu wasn’t lying?” Hiding behind the lush green bamboo, Gu Changsheng raised her hand, pointing at the old woman within her sight, her bright face full of astonishment, her mouth slightly twitching.

Damn, that Yong Shu fellow was lying!

Saying that the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp forged by Jiu Yu could restore a beggar driven mad? Then what the hell is this she’s seeing before her?

Before Gu Changsheng, not far away, beyond the green bamboo, was a rather dilapidated straw hut. Inside this hut were all sorts of forging tools, completely equipped yet terribly disorganized. In that cluttered straw hut workshop, an old woman with tattered clothes, graying hair, and a face full of wrinkles, with eyes unfocused as if without sight, was scurrying around like a headless fly...

And stuck among her gray hair were a few pieces of straw...

Straw...

All these details combined on one person can only mean one thing!

This person is either a fool or a lunatic!

Yes, the answer is that simple!

The owner of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, capable of restoring a mad beggar, the Smelting Master Jiu Yu herself, turned out to be a lunatic!

Heh heh...

Who will tell Gu Changsheng what the hell is going on?

Could it be that the mythical Divine Weapon, the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp, which is rumored to heal Divine Soul injuries, actually applies medicine according to the person, varying by individual?

It can heal that beggar, but not the equally mad forger Jiu Yu?

This doesn’t make any sense!

At this very moment, seeing Jiu Yu in such a state, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue’s faces also turned quite unpleasant.

They wholeheartedly believed they had found a way to completely heal Gu Changsheng’s Divine Soul Injury, but what they saw before them suddenly made them feel a bit disappointed, like rejoicing for nothing!

”It seems this Jiu Yu is a bit abnormal...” Zhou Mu wasn’t one to deceive himself; since Jiu Yu was like this, the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp was probably not what it was said to be in name, and just a rumor from the outside.

Zhou Mu glanced at the little woman beside him and couldn’t help but worry even more!

From the beginning to the end, all he cared about was Changsheng’s safety...

”It turns out word of mouth is really unreliable, saying the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp can heal Divine Soul Injuries, that’s simply spreading falsehood!” Gu Changsheng was also somewhat annoyed, not finding a way to heal her Divine Soul Injury was one thing, but finding it and having it be a false hope, just like having an apple placed in front of someone and discovering after biting into it that it was actually a wooden sculpture, really irritated her!

”Who said the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp can’t heal Divine Soul Injuries? Who said it? The Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp consumed Jiuer’s lifetime of tears, it must be able to heal Divine Soul Injuries and bring my husband’s soul back! It definitely can! Definitely can!”

However, just as Gu Changsheng’s words landed, a sharp and stern shout echoed in front of her.

Gu Changsheng was startled and took a step back, looking incredulously at the graying hair and wrinkled old face suddenly appearing before her, along with the iron hammer for forging in the newcomer’s hand, her mouth twitched slightly...

”Haha...” Gu Changsheng laughed awkwardly, feeling a bit ashamed, looking at Jiu Yu who suddenly appeared before her as if she had swallowed a fly, her mouth twitched, and she reluctantly said, ”Uh... Good skills, elder...”

My God, who can tell her what kind of ghost this is?

How could this Jiu Yu, who a moment ago seemed like a madwoman, suddenly appear like a ghost in front of her, and even Gu Changsheng hadn’t noticed how she did it?

Gu Changsheng asked herself, if you talk about speed in the world, there are few who can compare to her who entered the path by challenging her own limits!

But at this moment, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt that her worldview was a bit unstable!

Damned unparalleled, damned confidence, wasn’t the person before her easily achieving that?

”I dare not claim to have good skills, it’s just that this Green Bamboo Forest is originally a smelting formation; from the moment you stepped into the bamboo forest, I knew about it, and I, the old hag, tread precisely on the Gale Sect!” Jiu Yu shook her graying hair, drooping her eyelids staring at Gu Changsheng, her old eyes slightly eerie because they were mostly whites, looking very hollow and spiritless...

Jiu Yu lightly flicked her foot, landing beside a piece of green bamboo, and in an instant, the scenery around Gu Changsheng and the other two changed rapidly, the green bamboo seemed to grow legs, retreating rapidly...

In just a blink, the green bamboo disappeared, replaced by a magnificent smelting workshop!

And Gu Changsheng and the others were standing in front of the workshop, staring at the workshop owner!

”Haha... Elder... Good formation!”

Gu Changsheng really didn’t learn any true secrets of formations from her father, she is completely clueless about formations, so her expression upon seeing this was as unnatural as could be!

God knows how mysterious formations are, sometimes, one doesn’t even know how one dies because of them!

And now, upon seeing such a transformation in scenery, Gu Changsheng realized that they were actually walking on the edge of life itself; if Jiu Yu had intended to harm them earlier, they would have been in trouble long ago!

”Of course, I am good at formations; if it weren’t for having someone among you with a Divine Soul Injury, you all would have been buried in my Seven Apertures Soul-Bewitching Formation and kept my husband company...” Jiu Yu raised her hand, smoothing her scattered white hair, her wrinkled old face was full of reminiscence, but it quickly passed, and her gaze toward Gu Changsheng turned extremely serious, even leaning a bit closer, as if trying to see clearly, she asked puzzled, ”You, a person with clear consciousness, how could you have a Divine Soul Injury? Three Souls and Seven Spirits incomplete?”

”Me?” Gu Changsheng upon hearing this, pointed at herself, her bright face full of helplessness, she bitterly smiled, ”Elder, you’ve got me here, even I don’t know how I ended up with this Divine Soul Injury. If it weren’t for this, we wouldn’t have heard there is the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp that can heal Divine Soul Injuries in elder’s place and came specifically to request a meeting...”

Saying this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help lowering her head.

Well, isn’t this getting a bit awkward?

Actually, they weren’t really here to request a meeting!

Originally, they planned to come and commit some mischief, the sort no one would notice, only unfortunately, they met disaster before they even began, caught by the owner’s master directly!

So now, without having to fight, they naturally have to confess automatically!

Especially since this Jiu Yu before them is clearly not a simple character, Gu Changsheng really didn’t dare act recklessly!

”Request a meeting?” Jiu Yu glanced at Gu Changsheng, her clouded old eyes full of disbelief.

”That’s right, we are requesting a meeting!” Gu Changsheng didn’t wait for Jiu Yu to finish speaking before cupping her fists and declaring firmly, with a serious expression, ”Although coming uninvited is a bit presumptuous, we ask elder to consider the younger generation’s Divine Soul Injury and be forced to do so out of necessity! If there are any offenses, we ask elder for forgiveness!”

It must be said, Gu Changsheng is someone who can yield when necessary, capable of instantly changing strategies and adapting so naturally she almost believed her own lies!

Jiu Yu heard this, looked at Gu Changsheng, shook her head slowly, and regretfully said, ”Whether you’re presumptuous or not, I don’t wish to argue with you, but the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp can’t help you, you should leave!”
