NOVEL WEB Chapter 779: Key?
"Who exactly are you people?"
The woman asked Qin Feng with suspicion.
"We're Xiao Wu's friends."
Qin Feng replied.
Hearing the name Xiao Wu, the woman became even more nervous and hurriedly said: "Quick, go save Xiao Wu!"
She pointed to a room to the left of the laboratory.
Qin Feng immediately got up and headed that way.
After entering,
he found that the experimental equipment inside was even more complex.
Xiao Wu was soaking in a huge glass jar, filled with green liquid; she was completely naked with unknown wires connected to her, linking her to the machines outside.
Seeing this, Qin Feng had Qingcheng block the door to stop One-eyed Bald and the others from entering. He picked up a stool and with a clang shattered the glass jar.
The green liquid poured out, and he lifted Xiao Wu onto a bed on the side of the laboratory, covered her with a blanket, and checked her pulse.
"Damn, she's unconscious!"
Qin Feng frowned and said.
If it were just a common illness, it would be fine; he could treat her with acupuncture or with Elixirs.
But he distinctly felt something was not right with Xiao Wu!
The woman assisted by Qingcheng saw Xiao Wu in this state and immediately tears spilled out, saying: "Ghost Medicine Granny wants to exchange bodies with her and has sealed her soul."
"So that's it. Now that we know the sickness, we can think of a solution."
Qin Feng said.
However,
he thought of a hundred Acupuncture Techniques, among them ones that could condense the soul, but using them on Xiao Wu seemed inappropriate.
It wasn't just an issue of her soul and consciousness.
The crucial point was that her body was also greatly different from an ordinary one.
Ghost Medicine Granny wanted to exchange bodies with her, so she soaked her with a potion developed over a decade.
Those potions contained all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures Ghost Medicine Granny had collected over the years.
It was also because of those potions that Xiao Wu's soul seemed to be frozen.
"I think, maybe there's one way we can do it," Qingcheng by the side spoke up, "use the 'Mandarin Duck Treasure Book'."
"The Mandarin Duck Treasure Book?!"
Qin Feng was taken aback.
After thinking it over carefully,
it seemed to be a good solution!
The Mandarin Duck Treasure Book is a Dual Cultivation Technique that allows one's soul consciousness to enter into the other's body, find their soul, and awaken it!
"The solution is good, but..."
Qin Feng was very distressed.
The cultivation of the Mandarin Duck Treasure Book dealt with the Yin Yang intersection.
His relationship with Xiao Wu was just that of friends; it was very inappropriate to proceed in that way!
"But what?"
Xiao Wu's mother asked at this moment.
"Just that…"
Qin Feng gave a wry smile, unable to speak out.
Then Qingcheng quietly explained the situation.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's mother also fell silent, looking down at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu's breathing was getting weaker by the moment.
She looked like she was about to give out.
Her mother grimaced and with clenched teeth said: "Alright! I agree!"
"Sister… ah no, Auntie… this isn't really appropriate!"
Qin Feng said, troubled.
"A human life is at stake; I can't let anything happen to her!" Xiao Wu's mother declared seriously, "Moreover, since you could come to such a dangerous place to save her, I trust leaving her in your hands completely!"
"Ah? But, I'm already married." Qin Feng added.
"Does that matter?" Xiao Wu's mother asked.
"…"
Qin Feng was at a loss for words.
Looking at Xiao Wu who was on her last breath, he had no choice but to agree.
Then,
everyone else left the room, leaving only Qin Feng and Xiao Wu.
"If I do not enter hell, who will?"
Qin Feng took a deep breath, then lifted the blanket and began to teach her the "Mandarin Duck Treasure Book."
Because she was in a coma.
So during the "Yin Yang intersection," Qin Feng also needed to use silver needles on her acupoints to guide her True Qi to flow in a specific way.
Fortunately, his knowledge of acupoints and meridians was superior to anyone else's.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to succeed.
A flurry of activity.
Waves crashing against the sky.
Who knows how much time passed.
Qin Feng's consciousness finally entered her body.
Darkness was all around.
Within the darkness, Qin Feng was calling out Xiao Wu's name loudly.
At the same time, he was also shocked.
His consciousness could clearly feel every organ in Xiao Wu's body, every meridian, even every cell.
After being soaked in that special potion.
It was hard to say if she would achieve immortality, but the strength of her body was now ten times, a hundred times stronger than before!!
In other words.
Purely in terms of physical strength, her current Half-step Master cultivation made her as strong as a Third-Grade Grandmaster!
Moreover.
As her cultivation increased, her body would grow even stronger!
"That Ghost Medicine Granny is truly a genius, to be able to concoct such a potion..."
Qin Feng exclaimed in admiration.
At that moment.
He finally saw a light in the endless darkness!
It was a small ice mountain!
Inside the ice mountain, Xiao Wu's figure was frozen!
Qin Feng rushed over, smashed the ice mountain with force, and pulled Xiao Wu out.
The moment Xiao Wu was unfrozen, her consciousness also dissipated.
Qin Feng knew that her consciousness had merged into her body.
Which meant, Xiao Wu was saved.
Just wait for her consciousness to truly integrate with her body, rest for a while, and she would wake up.
Inside the room.
Qin Feng's consciousness exited from her mind, and he got up to cover her with the blanket, then hurriedly started to get dressed, thinking of resting for a while.
Unexpectedly.
Before he could dress properly, he heard Qingcheng, supporting Xiao Wu's mother, come in impatiently and ask, "How is it going?"
After asking, they saw that Qin Feng's pants weren't pulled up yet.
Both faces flushed red, hurriedly turning around in embarrassment: "Sorry."
"..."
Qin Feng was speechless.
So they had been listening from outside all along, he thought to himself, feeling depressed.
After getting dressed, Qin Feng said to them, "Xiao Wu is alright for now, but her consciousness has just merged with her body. She just needs to rest and sleep, and she'll be fine."
"That's great."
Xiao Wu's mother, who had been anxious, finally relaxed and thanked Qin Feng, "Thank you."
She went over to Xiao Wu's side, affectionately stroked the sleeping girl's face: "Xiao Wu, haven't seen you for so many years, you've grown so much..."
"No need to be polite, Auntie, what exactly happened?"
Qin Feng asked out of curiosity.
Xiao Wu's mother hesitated for a bit, glanced at Xiao Wu, and then told Qin Feng: "There's no point hiding it anymore, so I'll tell you..."
Her name is Li Tianzi.
Originally a being from the Upper Realm, she came here unwittingly due to a riot eighteen years ago.
Afterwards, she fell in love with a man and began a mundane life.
However.
A few years later, the secret that she was from the Upper Realm was discovered by others, and even the fact that she carried a "Key" on her was revealed - something not even her husband knew!
If nothing went wrong.
Someone must have followed her here to kill her.
To avoid bringing trouble to Xiao Wu and her sister Qing Wu, she had to leave and hide by herself on Cuomei Peak.
Unexpectedly, Ghost Medicine Granny followed her too.
Thus, she was imprisoned by Ghost Medicine Granny for over a decade, who wanted to take the "Key" from her...
