619 Not Losing A Bargain (1/2)

She was talented. She could master the venomous spell to the acme of perfection within months. It was not something others could master thoroughly even with years of practice. Her friend realized that she was a real talent and thus introduced her to his master. His Master secluded himself in a remote village around the mountains and would not simply recruit a disciple. However, he had been like an old friend to her since the moment they met and he had even gifted her a book of venomous spells.

Gu Xijiu had learned a variety of skills during the modern times, but Kung Fu and medicine were still her main focus.

She realized that venomous spells would always require insects as the main ingredient. She did not like insects very much. Moreover, it usually required the use of blood from the practitioner. There were too many foundations and restrictions. Although she had learned an adequate amount of knowledge, she had never used it or actually practiced it.

Nonetheless, she was still interested in resolving the venomous spell, as seeing the ‘little things’ being burned to ashes gave her a sense of satisfaction.

Therefore, she studied the solutions in the book to learn how to resolve the venomous spell. The book did not only have a variety of spells and the applications, it also provided the necessary solutions to every spell.

She did not have anyone who was poisoned to be her test subject, so all she could do was to read the book.

Fortunately, she had a really good memory, so she could easily remember all the details after reading.

She only wanted to briefly talk about the history of her past learning experience, as she felt that what she had learned in the modern days had nothing much to do with the present era. He could not possibly make his presence here, no matter how strong her friend was.

However, The Lord insisted on questioning her in precise detail, including the outer appearances and characteristics of the two men.

In the end, he decided to give Gu Xijiu a pen and some paper. ”Come, draw them out.”

Gu Xijiu was speechless for a while, but she was smart enough to explain further, ”Are you really suspecting that the person behind this is from one of them? It can't be. It was a coincidence for me to even get here. It is impossible for them to be here as well, as time travel is a very rare phenomenon.”
