Chapter 106: This Fire Controlling Artifact is Very Modern Yo! (2/2)
Song Shuhang blurted out again, “What’s Senior Medicine Master gone to do?”
“I’ve also only heard him say over the phone that he’s gone to check on some little problems for some cultivator friends. Those friends recently found a secret exploration site and got into some trouble upon exiting. I’m not too clear on what happened. Yesterday, I was retrieving that fire fan for you from the alchemy master. If you want to know the details, you can ask Medicine Master directly,” Jiang Ziyan replied.
Song Shuhang nodded silently.
……
……
After Jiang Ziyan left, Song Shuhang put away the Three Star Imperial Fire Fan and its instruction manual with a sober expression.
A good while later when he gathered his wits, he called up his three roommates and invited them out for dinner.
Since the abandoned school building had been discovered by the foreigner, there were temporarily no other places in school that were suitable for cultivation. He would stop training for the moment and resume at Medicine Master’s place that evening.

Present time, a thousand miles away, within a Daoist Temple in a small town of J City.
Medicine Master furrowed his brows as he examined the bodies of his four cultivator friends.
Those four cultivators were a taoist priest, a female principle and their corresponding male and female disciples.
When he had completed his examination, Medicine Master doubtfully said, “There doesn’t seem to be anything unusual about your physiques. Why don’t you start by telling me when you lost your memories?”
“The last memory this priest has terminates at the time I entered that “mysterious island” with Priestess Xuanxuan,” The taoist priest frowned as he replied. “The next thing this priest remembers is being on a small island off the East China Sea with Priestess Xuanxuan and our two disciples, who’ve similarly lost their memories. How we entered the mysterious island, what happened there — I’ve no impression at all.”
The female principle, Priestess Xuanxuan, took over, “The memory loss this priestess lost experienced was somewhat more severe… I only remember arranging our journey to that mysterious island with Priest Kunyi. I’ve can’t remember anything from the time we set out… I also came to my senses on that island in the East China Sea. I remember nothing about how we arrived on the island or what we did there.”
The mysterious island they were referring to was the “mysterious island floating above the East China Sea” that the Daily Cultivators’ News had recorded not long ago. One could faintly see the natural beauty, abundant spiritual energy and various extinct organisms that existed within the island.
Because of this report, there were many cultivators who ventured forth to explore the East China Sea. At that time, the Nine Provinces (1) Group had also discussed the formation of an exploration group.
However, there was barely anyone who managed to find the mysterious island.
These two priests were among the luckier cultivators who had entered the mysterious island. But… to have actually lost all memories of the island!
“How about you two disciples?” Medicine Master queried.
The male disciple shook his head. “Senior, I remember a little more. The moment we entered the mysterious island with our master and Master Xuanxuan, we encountered an anti-flight displacement technique. We had no choice but to descend into the jungle along the borders of the island, where all kinds of precious herbs grew. The four of us gathered some medicinal ingredients before heading further into the island. I don’t remember most of what happened in the middle but later, I vaguely recall being chased for a long time by a frightening monster and losing many materials. After that, it’s another blank in my memory. My last impression is of us finally finding the skywards stairway leading out of the island. That last memory is the same as master’s — we bizarrely appeared on a small island in the East China Sea. Of all the items we gathered from the mysterious island, only a few stalks of herbs remain.”
“This disciple somehow remembers more than the two of you do? Don’t tell me that on that small island, the stronger you are, the heavier your memory impairment?” Medicine Master wondered.
“If that’s the case… Priest Kunyi’s memory loss should be more severe than mine. Moreover, my disciple remembers even less than I do. She’s lost an entire month’s worth of memories!” Priestess Xuanxuan replied, shaking her head.
