Chapter 7: One Year After Rebirth_1
Damn it, turned into a drowned rat, she cursed under her breath, fed the lotus seed into her mouth, chewed it twice, and then swallowed it directly into her stomach.
It was mild, and she couldn’t tell what it was—aside from a faint lotus fragrance, she didn’t feel much of anything. Stepping out from the supernatural space, drenched, Shangguan You directly summoned Spring Water and filled the bathtub with it. Damn it, dare to drench me? From now on, I’ll bathe with this water every day!
She stripped off her wet clothes and looked at her frail body in the mirror. No breasts, no waist, no figure, skin not pale enough, lacking luster, hair smooth but without shine, and on top of that, glasses so dowdy they could crumble to dust—it’s no wonder Han Yachu despised me.
Sighing deeply, she submerged her entire body into the bath.
The Medicine King Tower, emitting a purple glow, suddenly appeared before her eyes. She hadn’t yet opened the tower door. Who knows what treasures lie inside?
Reaching into the space again, she faced the purple-glowing Medicine King Tower. Placing both hands on the door, she took a deep breath, then pushed open the tower door with force.
A grand hall appeared before her. Her eyes swept across its vast, empty interior. Just as disappointment began to set in, a dusty, bare furnace in the corner of the hall caught Shangguan You’s attention.
Her deep, dark eyes scanned the hall. Alas, no gold or silver treasures as I imagined, no precious herbs, no secret martial arts manuals, and certainly no immortal cultivation techniques—nothing but a rusty, pitch-black furnace! Disappointment flickered through her. Shangguan You felt like crying. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Taking a deep breath, she blew the dust off the barren furnace. Shangguan You couldn’t help but lift the lid. There’s nothing... but perhaps there’s an elixir inside the furnace! Maybe, just maybe, I can achieve eternal life! she mused happily.
