I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 467: The Woman in the Small Building
Lu Zheng was dumbfounded.
But as he sensed the faint traces of demon qi mixed with the bloody liquid in the ceramic bowl...
This is really the blood of that big rooster!
Really killed it!
Come on! Did you buy this rooster just for cockfighting?
"Good! Good!" Old Master Wang looked at the ceramic bowl on the wooden tray, "With this bowl of blood, Xiaowan might return to normal for a month!"
The old servant also showed a hint of hope in his eyes but couldn’t help asking, "Master, if the young lady can return to normal, why not take her to visit the White Cloud Temple?"
"No way!"
Old Master Wang said firmly, "What if the Daoists there can’t heal her and decide to exorcise the demon?"
"But just stalling like this isn’t a solution, is it?" the old servant worriedly added.
"As everyone knows, corpse poison is irreversible once activated." Old Master Wang took a deep breath and sighed, "I caused this harm to her, so we just endure as long as we can."
"Let’s go, while the blood is still warm, to the small building."
Old Master Wang said and then got up to head towards the backyard.
The old servant responded and hurriedly followed with the wooden tray.
The Wang Residence was not small, and there were quite a few people inside. But when they reached the most secluded courtyard in the northwest part of the backyard, there were basically no people around.
"Xiaowan!"
Before entering, Old Master Wang softly called.
"Father?"
The voice was recognizable as female, but it carried a slight hoarseness.
"How are you?"
"I’m... I’m alright, it’s just that my nails have grown out again."
"Today your father came across a rooster full of Yang Qi and already bled it. Drink this bowl of blood, and you’ll surely recover for a month."
Old Master Wang entered the small courtyard, opened the door, and went inside the small building. The old servant licked his lips and followed with the tray.
Of course, Lu Zheng also went inside.
Inside the small building, all four windows were tightly shut. A woman in a green dress sat at the table, her back to the door, exuding an eerie corpse qi.
However...
Lu Zheng looked around the room, noticing the beams, windows, and walls were plastered with around a dozen Peace Talismans.
Although the effect wasn’t obvious, they did block the corpse qi quite effectively.
"Xiaowan, quickly drink while it’s warm." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Old Master Wang went not far from the woman, took the ceramic bowl from the tray, and placed it on the table beside her.
"Thank you, father."
The woman spoke softly, turning her head and reaching out for the bowl. Her hand revealed a bluish-gray tint, and her nails were an inch long, gray-black and cracked.
Old Master Wang’s eyes showed tenderness, while the old servant behind him was both worried and fearful.
By this time, Lu Zheng had turned to face the woman.
Her face was also a bluish-gray color, much like her hands, with black lips and black-yellow teeth, although her eyes were ordinary, like those of a regular person.
Lu Zheng was quite surprised, "This truly looks like being infected by corpse poison, but why hasn’t her divine soul been eroded by it?"
Then, the woman lifted the bowl closer to her mouth, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one go.
"Hoo—"
She let out a breath, closing her eyes as faint energies appeared within her body, forming a circulation. The rooster blood mixed with demon qi slowly suppressed the corpse poison inside.
Her skin gradually turned white and soft, her nails slowly shortened and returned to normal.
In just half a stick of incense, the woman had reverted to normal.
However, corpse poison is hard to cleanse; it still lurked within her organs, waiting for the medicinal effects to fade and return.
This woman can cultivate.
But she is just beginning, and clearly lacks formal guidance, unable to completely purge the corpse poison from deep within her organs.
However...
Her divine soul seems naturally strong, combined with her cultivation, it hasn’t allowed the corpse poison to erode her divine soul.
Given this...
Why not seek help at White Cloud Temple?
It’s known that once infected with corpse poison, it cannot be removed. That’s true for ordinary people, because corpse poison metamorphoses the flesh and quickly erodes the divine soul, directly destroying the brain of regular people.
By then, even if cultivators remove the corpse poison, the person infected would have already perished.
Hence the rumor.
In the early stages of corpse poison, the divine soul hasn’t been tainted, and the body hasn’t completely transformed, it can still be saved.
And this woman, not only is her divine soul unaffected, but the corpse poison within her is clearly not strong, nor has it completely altered her body, merely changing her external appearance, which she’s been suppressing with cultivation and rooster blood.
If a master could remove the corpse poison, after nurturing for a month or two, she could recover.
Clearly, both Old Master Wang and this somewhat cultivated woman are unaware of this concept, afraid that powerful cultivators will kill her to exorcise demons, not knowing how long they’ve been enduring.
Lack of knowledge is truly terrifying!
"Father!"
Now back to normal, the woman turned to look at Old Master Wang.
"Xiaowan!"
Old Master Wang was overjoyed, "How come you’ve recovered so thoroughly this time?"
"I don’t know either, it seems this bowl of blood is quite different," Wang Xiaowan replied.
"Wondering how long it will last this time?"
"About... twenty days, perhaps."
Old Master Wang nodded repeatedly, "Finally, you’ll be able to see the sun again."
At this point, Old Master Wang could only force a smile, sighing, "It was my fault, if I hadn’t insisted on repairing the ancestral grave, I wouldn’t have encountered that zombie."
"It has nothing to do with you, father; it’s fate." Wang Xiaowan shook her head, then took a breath and said to Old Master Wang, "Father, the corpse poison within me is growing stronger, and ordinary rooster blood is getting harder to suppress. I don’t want to stay at home any longer; I want to go to White Cloud Temple."
"No way!"
Old Master Wang stood up and said, "As long as you haven’t turned into a zombie, I absolutely cannot let you go to White Cloud Temple!"
"But..."
"No buts!"
"Lack of knowledge is truly terrifying." A calm voice sounded in their ears.
"Who?" Old Master Wang stood up tall.
Wang Xiaowan also quickly stood up and moved away from Old Master Wang, "I don’t know which senior has arrived. This is entirely my greed for life, unwillingness to die; it has nothing to do with my father!"
Lu Zheng’s gaze shifted, understanding Wang Xiaowan’s meaning.
This is worrying that while exorcising demons, Old Master Wang, who might be seen as harboring a zombie, would also be killed.
A dutiful daughter indeed.
With a slight smile, Lu Zheng didn’t intend to play any cruel games of testing humanity; their performance had been enough.
However, things still needed to be clarified, for them to understand that professional matters must be handled by professionals.
"But your father preventing you from seeking help at White Cloud Temple is like trying to kill you!"
