A Journey Against the World
Chapter 42

Unable to endure the pain, Shua Xie finally opened his eyes. Groaned him as hard as possible while continuing to hold the edges of the wooden tub. This was the first time Shua Xie had felt pain, not more precisely the second time. The first time was because of the Golden lightning when he passed the divine book examination.

"Damn! This pain was not comparable to Golden lightning!" shua Xie's hideous. The walls of the cave were shaking even more, from now on Shua Xie was inexhaustibly shouting.

On the other hand Phoe started to get uncomfortable hearing it. Sighing Phoe out of feeling sorry for Shua Xie, 'Try to absorb slowly by directing your energy at one point, if you absorb from all directions it will indeed hurt. Moreover, this medicinal water is not ordinary medicinal water.'

Shua Xie gave a small smile but his face seemed to be holding back in pain, "Why not tell me from earlier?" suhut Shua Xie was a little upset, but he still followed Phoe's instructions. As Phoe said, Shua Xie was absorbing at one point, which was in his stomach.

The medicinal water started to wavy, slowly the color of the medicinal water started to fade. But the concentration did not last long, because the other 8 body parts began to directly absorb simultaneously without Shua Xie ordering. Back again the pain, made Shua Xie shout loudly again.

'Th-this? I forgot that you have nine rhymes of Curse. So the nine verses of the Curse absorb the medicinal properties simultaneously, there is no other way you can only survive until the process is complete, ' Phoe said with a sigh.

Shua Xie clucked his tongue in annoyance, inevitably he had to follow as Phoe said again, even if it hurt, but for the sake of becoming Eternal he would always be ready. Abdi's path is not easy to take, it takes hard work patience, effort, and strong determination.

Time starts to pass quickly, second to minute, minute to hour, hour, day to day, and day to week. It did not feel like a week more Shua Xie spent time absorbing the properties of medicinal water. When the medicinal water ran out he opened his eyes.

Shua Xie could feel his entire body being filled with strength, his cultivation had also increased by 2 levels, he had not expected that as he absorbed the medicinal water he had also made a breakthrough of the cultivation stage. Right now Shua Xie's cultivation of being at the level 7 Earth Stage was almost nearing the end level.

But not only was that what he felt, Shua Xie also felt his physical body getting stronger, his six senses also getting stronger. Shua Xie gazed towards the water, surprised him as he saw the medicinal water had already turned black, before the medicinal water was greenish-colored moss.

"I-this? Does this water turn black because of the poison in my body." Shua Xie remembered that his body was still left with a little poison. Only 90% of his poison had already neutralized the mysterious master back then, and now the rest of all the poison in his body was gone.

'It turns out that yes, your strong body can also resist poison. Although the poison is only a little, but this poison is quite dangerous. Your body is unique as well, it can resist poison, giving off a powerful aura luring many high-level spirit beasts wanting to enter it, then the Curse rhyme also sticks to your body. How many secrets does your body actually have?' Phoe was also quite surprised, she was completely stunned by the uniqueness of Shua Xie's body. There might be a lot of surprising things ahead.

'But you spent a week over here, too long.' Phoe again.

Shua Xie came out of the bathtub, then he took out his clothes from his s.p.a.ce ring. The clothes he had previously worn had already frozen beside the tub. Shua Xie thought the water absorption of this medicine would take place quickly, but it turned out to be slow due to the 9 rhymes of Curse.

Shua Xie put on his clothes as quickly as possible, after which he put the wooden tub back into his s.p.a.ce ring.

'It looks like the poem Curse doesn't rebel on your body, but it makes you stronger. But strangely your spirit aura tattoo is still not awakened, do you indeed not have an aura tattoo? But it is impossible, if you do not have it it will be difficult for you to tread the Eternal Path.'

"Maybe I don't have it?" shua Xie said in an indifferent tone, to be honest he did not care about having an aura tattoo or not, because he always felt strong without an aura tattoo even once. Shua Xie was not weak.

'Only useless humans who don't have aura tattoos, you should know that. It will be difficult for me to train the spirit element if your aura tattoo has not yet risen, ' Phoe said frankly.

Shua Xie clucked in annoyance, his head turned to the left, "It's possible that my aura tattoo has still not risen. It might take a little more processing" Shua Xie said slowly.

Phoe nodded softly, 'Quickly eat the pills you've bought. The blood-red pill was yellow and the bottle was red.'

Shua Xie took out one bottle from his ring, in that bottle were 15 pills that Phoe mentioned earlier. Soon Shua Xie ate all those pills without asking how many pills he should eat.

After swallowing those 15 pills, Shua Xie's body suddenly felt hot, extremely hot. Shua Xie was surprised to feel hot as if he was being burned in the oven.

"Phoe! What pill is this? Why am I feeling so hot?"

'Stupid! Why are you eating everything! You should have eaten two, quickly absorb the pill. Don't let your dantian explode because most eat pills.'

"Ck! Why not tell me from the beginning!" decak Shua Xie is upset. Soon Shua Xie took a lotus sitting position then absorbed all the pills he had swallowed. Because Shua Xie swallowed too much, it eventually took 7 hours of absorption.

"Great, within a week I did two breakouts. Am I not a genius?" Shua Xie praised himself making Phoe want to laugh.

'Ck! What genius? If it wasn't for the poem Curse you would have not broken through, it might have taken a year or even two years.'

"Whisper!"

Mo Gui jumped off the roof of the residential residents, he walked over to his two colleagues who were waiting for him. The three of them agreed after tracing the entire city would return to the initial meeting point.

"It's been a week, but we haven't found it" Mo Lang said.

Mo Lang crossed his two hands on his chest, he was the most annoyed among his 2 companions for not having found the whereabouts of the girl they were looking for. They spent a week exploring the city.

"From analysis, the girl stayed at the Kuro inn. The innkeeper said that the girl had not come home since leaving the inn a week ago."

"It's possible that after the girl rented the inn she went straight to the weapons sales pavilion."

Mo Gui sighed softly, "I also got the info that the girl went to the noodle tavern. There was a lot of money he left there, likely the girl's background was a noble?" mo Gui said a little worriedly. Of course he was anxious when it came to dealing with the royal family, especially if the big kingdom was certain he would get into trouble.

"In the west I also found information, that he bought so many herbs and pills with monster spirit stone cores. The owner of the pavilion said the monster spirit stone belonging to the girl had no disability. Could he be a great Cultivator with a noble background?" mo Wan. He had indeed gone to the largest medicinal pavilion in the city, he guessed it was likely that the girl would visit the pavilion.

Mo Wan grew increasingly unsettled, as her legs continued to stomp on the ground leaving Mo Gui and Mo Lang confused.

"What about you Mo Lang? Did you get a little information about the girl?" mo Gui asked as he looked towards her.

Mo Lang looked at Mo Gui, "There is. When I came to the Gold Lion alliance, a gatekeeper said he had met a girl. The girl wanted to register to be a member of the alliance, but was rejected because her cultivation stage was still not at the end of the Earth stage," Mo Wan replied slowly.

Mo Gui and Mo Lang were a little surprised, the two of them clashed with each other for quite a long time. At first they thought the girl they were looking for was at a higher cultivation stage than them, but it turned out that their guesses were wrong.

Mo Lang smiled cynically, "Still on Earth stage? I think he's better than us, it turns out we're the ones who flatter the girl too much." That was how Mo Lang was, he most liked to demean others who were beneath him without ever seeing firsthand the strength of that person.

Mo Wan shook her head, she disagreed with what Mo Lang said. Because he knew what the Elders said back then before he left the Mo clan looking for the girl.

"No. Don't underestimate the girl, I had a chance to hear the talk of the Elders before I left. They said Young Master Guwei Mo suffered severe injuries from the girl's blow. Do you know, that girl hit without using spirit energy? What if he uses it? Could it be that the Young Master's stomach will be destroyed?" said Mo Lang, shocked to the two colleagues heard the story.

"That's right! How strong is that girl? Can we beat him?" Surprise Mo Gui is great. He became doubtful of his own strength after hearing Mo Lang's story.

Mo Wan increasingly put on a sour face, stepping he passed to his 2 colleagues who were still sculpting in surprise. All their ages had never seen a human being have such power.

"But we can't go home before we bring the girl, or the elder will kill us."

Mo Gui turned to look at Mo Lang who was not far in front of him, "Rone dead, go also dead. Is there no other way?" he lamented as he walked closer to Mo Lang who had started to move away from him.

Mo Wan scratched his nape, suddenly just thought it felt so shallow after hearing Mo Lang's story. He was also the same as Mo Gui, shocked greatly when he heard the story. Was the girl still human or a monster?
