Chapter 283: 207: The Past and the Bipolar
“Once upon a time, there was a family.”
“They were cursed by a strange disease generation after generation.”
“Every person in the family could hardly live past the age of forty.”
Chen Sheng was puzzled.
He felt déjå vu about this opening scene of the story.
Chen Sheng subconsciously thought that Li Wuji was narrating the story of Shen Ziming’s family.
But upon further thought, he find it not quite possible.
Could it be….
A speculation suddenly emerged in Chen Sheng’s mind.
Was Li Wuji also a carrier of Heavenly Person Cells?
Just by using some special method, he cleared the Heavenly Person Cells within his body?
But…. what did this have to do with what he wanted to know?
While Chen Sheng was thinking, he didn’t interrupt Li Wuji.
Since he was already sitting here.
No matter what the other party wanted to say, it might be best to let them finish.
“This family, since a very long, long time ago, began searching for famous doctors.”
“They traveled to every corner of China and even overseas to find a cure for the strange disease.”
“However, no matter how skilled the doctors were, they couldn’t find any issues with the people in this family.” “As time went by, they became desperate.”
Li Wuji sighed silently.
His next words directly confirmed Chen Sheng’s guess.
“You guessed it right.”
“I am from that family.”
“Our family used to be carriers of Heavenly Person Cells.”
“My ancestors, over a hundred years, were constantly looking for ways to solve the mysterious disease.”
“But until a hundred years ago, they couldn’t find the cause and didn’t know it was the so-called Heavenly Person Cells.”
“Then, it was my turn.”
Li Wuji showed a reminiscent look.
“Originally, I should have followed in the footsteps of my ancestors, studying medicine and searching for a solution to the mysterious illness in the family.”
“But at that time, I thought that since the ancestors of the family had searched for hundreds of years without any results, why should I continue to waste my life on such a meaningless issue?”
“Why shouldn’t I be like an ordinary person, and enjoy the short-lived life?”
Chen Sheng nodded in silent agreement.
Just as Li Wuji said, if he were in his shoes.
He also wouldn’t want to waste his short life on these meaningless things, and would choose to indulge in the enjoyment of life.
“But ironically, with that kind of mindset, I happened to find the solution.” “Did you find the Heavenly Person Seal Land or did you directly find the Qi Jie
Stone?”
Chen Sheng asked.
As for eliminating Heavenly Person Cells, after helping Shen Ziming, Chen Sheng had a rough understanding of the method.
However.
Upon hearing his question, Li Wuji shook his head.
“Qi Jie Stone can only be formed in rare conditions, when it’s combines with high-concentration gas, a sealed dormant place, and a special environment.”
“At that time, the Tide Rising Period had not arrived, and the concentration of gas in the air was very low. How could I find it?”
“What I used, was… secret skills.” “Secret skills?”
Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows.
Could secret skills have such magical effects?
Even though previously in the library of the Yihe Gate, Chen Sheng saw secret skills possessing mystical abilities.
Most of these abilities, however, were related to combat.
According to Shen Ziming, Heavenly Person Cells were hidden deep inside the genes, and were rooted in the deepest parts of the human body.
It wasn’t something that could be easily removed by simply manipulating the physical body.
“It’s funny to think back.”
“At that time, I aspired to be a novelist.”
What?
Chen Sheng was astonished.
It was hard for him to imagine how Li Wuji went from being a novelist to being the President of the Martial Arts Association in China.
And he was just talking about secret skills, right?
Why did he start talking about life and ideals again now?
However, remembering Li Wuji’s instructions just now.
Chen Sheng didn’t interrupt, he just quietly waited for Li Wuji to continue.
“Ever since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by supernatural novels and have been curious about the oddities of this world.” “After my father died, I was the only one left in the family.”
“At that time, I harbored a very selfish thought.”
“I believed that this strange disease was a curse, and there was no solution.” “Instead of getting married and having children, causing misfortune.”
“It’s better to roam the mountains and waters, experience the wonders of the world, and then break the curse.”
Li Wuji’s eyes gradually become lost in thought.
It seemed that he was reminiscing about the spirited and carefree self of the past.
“So, I began my journey.”
“I focused on rumors, going wherever there were strange events.” “Of course, most of these rumors were fabricated, and they were nothing.” “But there was a small portion of true strange events.”
“The secret skill that allowed me to successfully separate the Heavenly Person
Cells and survive till now was discovered while exploring a mysterious place.”
“That skill is called the Two Extremes Divine Separation Technique.” Two Extremes Divine Separation Technique?
Chen Sheng muttered the name of this technique to himself.
He keenly noticed.
When mentioning this name.
A trace of regret flashed across Li Wuji’s face.
“How is this related to dealing with Respected Elder and Xiang Li?”
Chen Sheng timely asked.
Li Wuji, upon hearing this question, withdrew his gaze.
His expression suddenly turned solemn.
“The Two Extremes Divine Separation Technique.”
“When I first acquired this secret skill and read the essentials of it, I thought I had finally found hope..”
