TRANSMIGRATED TO THE WORLD OF CULTIVATION

CHAPTER 14

TWELVE HOURS LATER…

I was close to implementing and harvesting the formulas.

Cough!

"Do you have to force yourself to break through the barriers stopping you from learning these formulas?" Su Qiu yelled at me and I lost connection. "Rest for some time and continue later."

"No need to worry, give me some time to learn these formulas." I said to Su Qiu telepathically.

"You are weak and tired, learning these formulas will tire you out the more. You might even fall into a coma and that would end up with the news of a father and daughter being comatose."

After resting for some hours, I continued learning the formulas.

Ah! I was done.

Chants!

Incantations!

Incoherent mumbles filled my father's room and it was becoming more heated in the room. My palms turned clammy but it didn't stop me from saving my father.

I didn't have much time to practice the ancient technique so I concentrated on my father as if he was the only entity that existed in my world.

'Hearken to my words! Formulae activated! Element consuming technique…' I mumbled and stared at my father. I cupped my hands together and I could feel a strong blazing force hovering in my palms. 'Suck away the manipulative forces!' I gave a wry smile as I found myself in a totally different area.

Well…I couldn't guess exactly where I was but I know that this area was somewhat linked to my father. I could feel the energy of his qi even though it was locked and the negative forces…they should be the manipulative forces Su Qiu talked about.

The manipulative forces in my father's body were too strong and grotesque. I wondered how my father's body got attracted to such miasmic forces and how he had been sharing the same body with the forces for more than a decade.

'No time to waste time!' I scolded myself and concentrated on the issue at hand. I was carried away by the wraithlike sight in front of me.

In less than an hour, the forces were sucked away. The ugly viscous liquid that were latching on to my father's qi were sucked away until I heard a tiny familiar voice that belonged to an old woman. Definitely, it was that annoying tutor of mine, Su Qiu.

'St…now!'

'Stop…!'

'Stop now!'

'Stop what you are doing!'

I was pulled out from my connection and I suddenly fell from my father's bed, coughing out blood that was greenish-black in color. Maybe I rushed the whole process and got it messed up.

"You are too stubborn!" Su Qiu grumbled and she clenched her fists in worry when she saw me in a weak condition. She was fuming and piping hot air escaped from her pinkish ears and nose.

"What's happening to me?" I asked. My voice was shaky and I felt ill. Confusion and pain marred my face and I felt like there was an active volcano in me. I've never felt such burning sensation inside of me and I was on the verge of going crazy.

"I was trying to stop you but you were too mulish and foolish!" Su Qiu responded with a glare. "Not even internal energy can help you now!"

"Huh?" I couldn't comprehend a thing she was saying. Was I poisoned? I coughed out more blood and I felt like my strength was sucked away. My knees quavered and I felt shivers slide through my spine.

"The manipulative forces entered inside you. Do you think such forces can be sucked away in one go?" She yelled at me and I felt thunderstruck when I heard what she said. Those manipulative forces entered me? Oh dear God!

"Such forces are sucked away little by little because it's contagious, they leech on peoples' qi and dominate their bodies. Another fact is that you didn't prepare any receptor or any 'body' that will absorb the manipulative forces so that's why the forces channeled their movements towards you. Your qi is too strong and it attracted those unclean forces." Added Su Qiu with a menacing look. Cold beads of sweat gathered on my forehead.

"So what am I going to do?" I asked and racked my brain for any possible solution.

"You need to get those unclean forces out of your body. There's a mystical river located in the misty dwarf hills in this village meant for spirits. There's also a creek believed to cure all kinds of problem but that creek is situated in another village… Qiang Village precisely."

"I'll go to the one in the misty dwarf hills." I said to Su Qiu who heaved a sigh. Qiang Village was too far from Yan Village. To get to Qiang Village, I will have to journey through forbidden areas, forests and three other villages before I get there.

"How much time do I have left before the forces starts dominating my body?"

"You don't have forever, you need to get rid of those unclean forces in your body before they suck your whole qi and corrupt your body. You know that they are very disastrous…" Su Qiu replied to me and I started panicking.

"I know!" I interjected, trying to calm myself.

"Luckily, the forces starts acting up after spending a day touring around in your body. So if you don't get the forces out of your body after today, you will never have the chance to do so and those forces will compel you into succumbing to your heart devils and your cultivation base will be very unstable." Su Qiu added. "But you're different. I'm sure you'll last more than a day."

"I'll go to the mystical rivers that is located in the misty dwarf hills, probably in the night." I made up my mind and stared at my father who looked okay. His sallow skin became fair and his respiration became stable, his heart was beating. At least, he's okay and I'm happy about that improvement.

"No need to worry about your father, he's very fine." Su Qiu whispered to me with a smile. "Let's just give him a week or two, you know that he has been in turmoil for so many years so he needs some weeks' rest."

"Okay." I hummed, leaving my father's room with Su Qiu.

I was so happy that I saved my father, I didn't pay attention to the active volcano in me.

. . .

AT MIDNIGHT

'The river ought to be warm but it's unusually cool today.' I thought as I dipped my feet in the mystical river. 'Anyways, it's good because I feel like I'm in a hot furnace.'

"Don't you feel the scary vibes looming around here?" Su Qiu asked and I got scared hearing her voice. She showed up at an unexpected time, it's a miracle that I didn't have a heart attack.

"Yeah, I do." I replied, staring at her to know what she wanted to say.

"Besides, I shouldn't bother myself getting scared by all these. The only thing scary about scary things is its scariness, right?"

Me: "…"

'I'm so tired and I need enough rest for the future burdening tasks.' Su Qiu said to me telepathically and disappeared into the thin air.

Rustle!

Growl!

I guess the night creatures were obviously doing their natural duties. I got scared and tried contacting Su Qiu but it wasn't working. I found myself wobbling towards the middle of the river and I bumped myself into something stiff.

"Ah!" I exclaimed and massaged my forehead. I looked up to the stiff object that I bumped into. Lo and behold, it was a…

Phwoar~! Whoa~! Wow~! In front of me was a gorgeous male god that stole my breaths away. Even though the sky was moonless and starless, his good looks were well-proportioned and highlighted.

"What are you doing here?" He asked me. His melodious voice had that hypnotic effect that caused ripples in my soul. His beauty couldn't be compared with those A-lister celebrities in my past life, his ethereal looks fused with his sweet voice and mysterious aura were unquestionably nonpareil. He was more handsome than those ugly gigolos my mother tried to hook me up with.

Staring at him, I didn't know what to say. I fumbled for words and started stuttering. That was unusual of me. Is it because of this gorgeous god of beauty?

[sobbing] Oh dear God, please save me from this temptation.
