At the time, Wei Qingyu wondered, could it be that the reason she had not suffered the invasion of cold qi in her previous life was because Gu Chen had helped her avoid it?
Yet Wei Qingyu quickly dismissed that thought.
Because she knew Gu Chen was a petty man who would stop at nothing for cultivation.
Do not be fooled by how kindly Gu Chen appeared to help her cultivate.
In truth, that fellow never wanted her Cultivation Level to surpass his!
Otherwise, in her previous life, Wei Qingyu would not have cultivated so bitterly for an entire lifetime, only to still fail to surpass Gu Chen in Cultivation Level.
"I understand now!"
"Gu Chen is full of schemes. He must have foreseen from the very beginning that there would be rebirth."
"So he had been laying out his plan since my previous life, deliberately keeping me from learning the true effects of the Sacred Origin Great Yin Scripture."
"That way, after being reborn, when I cultivated on my own, the cold qi would invade my body and kill me!"
"Only then would my death have nothing to do with Gu Chen."
At that thought, a cold sweat immediately broke out across Wei Qingyu's back.
She suddenly felt that Gu Chen was venomous to the extreme!
Fortunately, she had seen through Gu Chen's true face ahead of time.
Otherwise, even if she truly died one day, she would probably never know that Gu Chen had been the one behind it all!
"Father, Mother, you said you had a way to dispel the cold qi inside me, right?"
Wei Qingshan and Liu Yucui nodded repeatedly.
Then Wei Qingshan said, "Daughter, rest assured. I have already contacted the best doctor in East Desolation Commandery for you."
"Although the Sacred Origin Great Yin Scripture is an ancient cultivation method and extremely rare, doctors still understand methods for dispelling cold qi."
With her father's words, Wei Qingyu felt far more at ease.
Because if she could not effectively dispel the cold qi, Wei Qingyu would have no way to cultivate quickly.
And if her Cultivation Level could not rise rapidly, then as time passed, she would likely become even less capable of defeating Gu Chen.
Wei Qingyu hurriedly said to her father, "Father, tell me now how to expel the cold qi."
"Your daughter wants to cultivate!"
Seeing Wei Qingyu so full of enthusiasm, Wei Qingshan and Liu Yucui were truly gratified.
But just then, Liu Yucui suddenly asked, "By the way, Daughter, didn't you say you were going to break off your engagement with Gu Chen? Has it been taken care of?"
At the mention of breaking off the engagement, Wei Qingyu recalled being beaten up badly by Gu Chen.
So she answered indignantly, "Of course it has!"
"Gu Chen even knelt on the ground and begged me at the time. There was no way I could agree!"
Liu Yucui nodded thoughtfully. "That is more like it. Gu Chen is merely an orphan. Our Wei family absolutely cannot marry into a family like that."
"But I heard the servants talking. It seemed like you were injured at the time. What happened?"
Wei Qingyu was terrified that her parents would learn she had been beaten senseless by Gu Chen.
That would be humiliating beyond measure!
"Mother, you must have heard wrong. Look, am I not alive and kicking?"
"Please hurry and teach me the method to dispel cold qi instead!"
Wei Qingshan then said, "That's right. It is rare for our daughter to have such a diligent heart for cultivation."
"Come, follow your father to the Training Hall. Your father will teach you the method to dispel cold qi right away."
Wei Qingyu was so delighted that she could hardly close her mouth.
She could not help thinking, Gu Chen, you do not actually think I cannot cultivate without you, do you?
Let me tell you, our Wei family is also a great lineage in East Desolation Commandery.
A mere method for expelling cold qi is something our lineage does not lack at all!
But when Wei Qingyu arrived at the Training Hall, she was completely dumbfounded.
Because her father had actually brought her a brazier!
"Father, what does this mean?"
"What is this brazier for?"
Wei Qingshan immediately replied with high spirits, "Daughter, this is no ordinary brazier."
"These are Coal Stones picked up at the foot of the mountain where the Cangshan Sword Sect lies, in the far northern lands!"
"The doctor said that these Coal Stones contain abundant spiritual qi. As long as you use this brazier to warm your body, you can effectively dispel the cold qi."
Staring at the brazier before her, Wei Qingyu's expression was beyond speechless.
Because in her previous life, even after relying on the Sacred Origin Great Yin Scripture to cultivate all the way to becoming the Empress, she had never used such a thing as a brazier!
At the thought of having to roast her belly and backside over a brazier every time she cultivated from now on,
black lines immediately streaked across Wei Qingyu's face!
"Father, didn't you say there were many methods to dispel cold qi?"
"Other than making me stay beside a brazier all day, is there another way?"
Wei Qingshan pondered slightly at his daughter's question.
Then he replied, "Of course there is!"
Wei Qingyu was instantly overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Father, then tell me quickly!"
Then Wei Qingshan took out a silver needle as long as a forearm from beside him.
"If we use acupuncture treatment involving a spinal puncture, it can also have some effect on dispelling cold qi."
"But you must undergo acupuncture at least three times every day. Miss even once, and all your previous efforts may go down the drain."
When Wei Qingyu saw that silver needle, which was practically longer than her life, she was nearly frightened to death on the spot!
"No, no! This thing is far too terrifying."
"Father, is there really no other method?"
"The brazier is too troublesome, and acupuncture is too frightening."
Wei Qingshan truly found this rather speechless, but she was his daughter—what else could he do?
In the end, he could only say to his daughter, "Fine. There is one last method."
After saying that, Wei Qingshan directly took out a prescription from his robes.
"This is the prescription the doctor gave me. If you take the medicine on time, it can also dispel the cold qi."
The moment she heard about taking medicine, Wei Qingyu immediately brightened up.
Because this was much more convenient than the previous two methods, and it was not frightening either!
"Fine, fine, fine! Then I'll take medicine!"
Wei Qingyu immediately took the prescription.
But after seeing the medicinal ingredients written on it clearly, Wei Qingyu's brows instantly furrowed into the shape of the character chuan.
Dried wild centipedes, spider larvae, wild boar gallbladders, Human-processed Gallnut...
After merely reading that list of ingredients, goosebumps rose all over Wei Qingyu's body.
She could not help asking her father, "Does this medicine not contain even one normal ingredient?"
"And what exactly is this Human-processed Gallnut?"
Wei Qingshan replied awkwardly, "Daughter, I think it would be better if you did not know."
"No, I'm curious!"
"Fine, fine. That thing... uh, you can understand it as human feces."
At that moment, Wei Qingyu's expression froze directly on her face.
Her stomach immediately churned like rivers and seas overturning.
She even felt as though she was about to vomit at once!
Ugh...
