Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1471  My Luck Has Changed Again?

Bi Zhu did not walk far before arriving at a relatively spacious courtyard.

When they reached, Qiao Yi was stopped outside the door.

"Miss Bi Zhu, please enter alone," said the person who led the way.

Bi Zhu nodded at Qiao Yi.

She had no intention to join the Fallen Immortal Clan. Hopefully, everything would go smoothly, and she could leave.

She would have to keep a low profile in the future.

Moreover, she had to find a way to conceal herself.

She could not let her location be easily discovered.

With the various clans emerging, it was not as safe as before.

Immortal Humans were everywhere. Even True Immortals did not dare to be noticeable.

Times had changed.

Although it was safer in the South, it did not mean no one would come looking for her from the East.

For example, the Fallen Immortal Clan could find her easily.

They crossed the East, braved mountains and rivers, and spent several years searching for her.

She had not even seen the signs.

If there were immortals at the gathering, it would have been much more convenient.

After entering the room, she found herself in a simple hall.

It looked simple and crude from both inside and outside.

Bi Zhu was not sure if it was because the Fallen Immortal Clan's conditions were poor or because they lacked talent in construction.

Perhaps all their talents were in cultivation, and they did not know much about other things.

Soon, she focused at the center of the hall.

There was an old man sitting there. His face was pale, and his head was wrapped in white gauze. It seemed that he was severely injured.

Not only that but his eyes were also bruised, likely from a fall.

'This senior has truly returned to his original state…' Bi Zhu thought to herself. What kind of cultivation realm did this senior have?

Even ordinary cultivators would not be like this, let alone immortals.

"Greetings, Senior." Bi Zhu stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

After that, he admired the person for returning to their original state and having a simple Great Dao.

Elder Gu did not know what to say for a moment.

The person in front of him was young but was already an Immortal Human.

Her talent was extraordinary.

He acknowledged her strength but did not see her as a threat.

After a moment of silence, Elder Gu said, "Do you know why I've called you here?"

"No." Bi Zhu shook her head.

"To heal my injuries," said Elder Gu truthfully. "I'm injured and need your treatment. As long as you can heal me, I can guide you in your cultivation. If you don't need that, I can give you a secret technique of the Immortal Clan."

He did not mention spirit stones, likely because he did not have many.

Fortunately, Bi Zhu did not want spirit stones.

If she could leave here alive, that would be more than enough. The fact that he did not mention spirit stones suggested that he might actually let her go.

Otherwise, he could have promised her all kinds of great benefits if he was going to kill her later.

This was more realistic.

"I'm not very good at healing, but you can tell me about your condition frankly. I'll do my best," said Bi Zhu.

Elder Gu pointed at his head. "This is all."

'Huh?' Bi Zhu was confused.

"I fell," Elder Gu said.

This time, Bi Zhu was even more puzzled.

How was this possible?

"Is it a curse?" she asked.

Elder Gu nodded. "That should be it. Logically, with my cultivation, I shouldn't have fallen so easily. Even if I did, I wouldn't be injured like this. Even if I were injured, it shouldn't be difficult to recover. Thus, I can only assume this is a curse."

"Senior, do you have any magic treasures or other spells on you that can counter curses?" Bi Zhu asked.

The cultivation realm of the person in front of her was too high, so she did not dare pry.

But when she opened her senses, she could feel the traces of a curse on him.

The traces were so weak that one could not detect them without careful observation.

Moreover, this curse was strange. It wrapped around in a very odd way.

She was not sure about the details of the curse.

She needed to get closer to observe.

"It's useless," Elder Gu said.

At this point, he did not even dare to stand up.

He could fall at any moment.

There was not a single day of peace.

His cultivation could not progress either.

It seemed to be getting worse, but he could not figure out why.

This was definitely because he had pried into the Nine Nether's location.

Since he had ended up this way, the others did not plan to find out about the Nine Nether any time soon.

They believed they could create another one.

It was not without conditions, but it could be done.

Moreover, the one they would create would be better than before.

After all, they did not know how the Nine Nether might have changed after so many years.

Whether it could still be controlled was another matter.

"May I take a look?" Bi Zhu asked.

She was interested.

As the Thousand Curse Body, she was fond of new curses.

Of course, this also made it easy to get into trouble, like with Gu Changsheng.

It was because of her curiosity about the Hundred Nights Curse that she discovered Gu Changsheng, which brought her great trouble.

If not for the gathering, there would have been no way to turn the crisis into an opportunity.

Elder Gu did not refuse. At this moment, Bi Zhu slowly approached.

She placed her hand on Elder Gu's wrist as if taking his pulse.

In an instant, Bi Zhu began to sense the curse.

Even upon contact, it was difficult to detect the curse.

After a long time, Bi Zhu fell into an ethereal state, and everything in her perception changed.

She began to pry into the source of the curse.

As expected, she noticed long blood-red threads.

These long threads coiled around Elder Gu's body, his cultivation, his bloodline, his providence, and his Great Dao.

Sensing all of this, Bi Zhu was shocked. What kind of curse could be this powerful?

Out of curiosity, she decided to touch it.

In an instant, the long thread began to wrap around her spiritual perception and then followed her.

At first, Bi Zhu did not pay much attention to it. After all, her body was cursed, so she was not afraid of it.

However, the longer the long thread entangled her, the more familiar it became.

Why did this curse aura feel so familiar?

In an instant, she recalled some remnants of fate near the Heavenly Note Sect.

In an instant, her face turned pale.

Her eyes opened wide, and her face was filled with terror.

Instinctively, she retreated and activated her natural constitution. She patted her hands as if brushing off non-existent dust. @@novelbin@@
