Chapter 182: It’s an incurable disease!

The lock of Medicine Master’s multi-storied building was already fixed.
After returning, Song Shuhang checked on almost all floors, but still couldn’t find Doudou and Senior White anywhere.
‘Did Doudou bring Senior White out to have some fun?’ Song Shuhang wondered, somewhat confused. Then, once he went to the fifth and last floor, he discovered that Doudou, Senior White, and Penniless Thief Sect’s Young Mistress Candy were all there.
After a glance, he noticed that Medicine Master’s pill furnace had been divided into two pieces. The upper half was thrown on a side, while the lower half was covered in flames with a cauldron on it.
Young Mistress Candy was wearing an ap.r.o.n and diligently preparing dishes.
There was also a long table on a side with many dishes on it that were either fried in oil or steamed. After looking at them, one couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
”What’s happening?” Asked Song Shuhang, somewhat confused.
”Woof. This is the result of my careful train— ugh! I mean, the result of my careful interrogation of Penniless Thief Sect’s Young Mistress Candy. She confessed everything—from when she started cultivating to what she is specialized in. She even told me the number of ancient ruins she discovered recently… however, she really didn’t know anything about the status of Cultivator Sunflower inside the Limitless Demon Sect,” Doudou said while swallowing down a big chunk of beef. ”And while she was under interrogation, she disclosed that she was very good at cooking. Then, Senior White and I thought of giving her a chance to display her skills.”
”This flavor is not bad,” Senior White nodded in approval.
Song Shuhang pitifully looked at Young Mistress Candy—what kind of interrogation (training) did she undergo to disclose that she was good at cooking?
It seemed like she had revealed all her private matters. After this, how would she even face Doudou?
Having sensed Song Shuhang’s gaze, Young Mistress Candy turned her head around and looked into his eyes—letting out a silly giggle.
Song Shuhang froze on the spot. She didn’t have a mental breakdown, right?
At this time, Senior White pointed toward a purple bamboo shoot on the table and said, ”Little Friend Song Shuhang, this bamboo shoot was properly cooked by Little Candy. Once you eat it, it will help you with your Nose Aperture. Don’t waste it.”
”I can directly eat it without refining it first?” Song Shuhang sat down on the table and asked.
”There is no need for that. If you refine it into a medicinal pill, you will indeed increase its effects a bit. But after eating too many medicinal pills, you will develop a resistance to them. Therefore, natural treasures like this purple bamboo shoot are best eaten directly,” Senior White said with a smile.
Song Shuhang took a bite of the bamboo shoot; its flavor wasn’t half bad. He couldn’t help but look at Young Mistress Candy—she was indeed good at cooking. In the future, if she were to get rid of her status as a disciple of the Penniless Thief Sect and get married, her husband would be able to eat delicious things every day.
”Hehe,” Young Mistress Candy turned her head once again and laughed foolishly.

After his evening practice, Song Shuhang quickly went to bed.
He had his finals tomorrow—he needed to be in his best condition.
The bamboo shoot had already started to take effect. He felt as if it was becoming easier to breathe since dinner, just like a stuffy nose suddenly getting cleared.
However, there was a problem—now, his sense of smell was much keener than before. If he were to carelessly fart, the odor he would smell would be at least six or seven times worse.
After taking a bath and stretching himself, he quickly went to sleep.
Once he had fallen asleep, Venerable White quietly slid into his room and arrived at his side.
Then, he slowly disappeared on the spot.
After a while, a triangular seal appeared near Song Shuhang’s body, and an ugly face appeared inside it.
”As expected, it’s a life curse,” Venerable White smiled as he carefully injected some of his spiritual qi inside the curse.
Very quickly, a fist-sized ma.s.s of black smoke appeared beside Song Shuhang, emitting a strong resentment.
”Hate, hate, hate, so much hate~ even if I don’t enter the cycle of reincarnation, remaining a lowly ghost for eternity, I will still obtain revenge!” The black spiritual ma.s.s angrily howled.
At this time, its body suddenly inflated like a ball and reached half the height of a person. One could vaguely recognize Altar Master’s features. But compared to the last time, the resentful spirit only had 40% of Altar Master’s characteristics.
”It came out. Eating it will help the ghost spirit reach the middle-rank again,” Venerable White said in a soft voice.
After that, the ghost spirit came out of Song Shuhang’s Heart Aperture and swallowed the resentful spirit down once again.
The body of the ghost spirit became bigger, and it started to undergo a mutation.
After five or six minutes, the ghost spirit lightly roared, and a faint layer of golden light covered its body.
With a ‘clang~’ sound, the small golden s.h.i.+eld condensed once again. And, apart from the s.h.i.+eld, it also condensed a small golden sword.
After a period of weakness, the ghost spirit had recovered its rank and had returned to be a middle-rank ghost spirit.
Now that it had a core, it had the possibility of advancing to a high-rank ghost spirit given enough time.
After returning to the middle-rank, the ghost spirit respectfully bowed to Venerable White and returned inside Song Shuhang’s Heart Aperture. Everything became quiet once again.
”It’s a pity that the cultivation of the person that put the life curse on Song Shuhang was too weak. This resentful spirit will only appear four or five more times before completely disappearing. Otherwise, the ghost spirit would have reached the high-rank in one go,” Venerable White laughed.
Then, he left Song Shuhang’s room like a whirlwind, his face very satisfied.
