70 What happened that day (1/2)

Bai Yun blinked repeatedly as he woke up. But the moment he did so, he wished he hadn't. There was not a single cell in his body that didn't hurt. He was only able to stop himself from screaming out by the sheer force of his will.

As he looked down at his body, he found that he was wrapped up like a mummy. He could smell many medicines all around his body.

But as he focused on his body, he realized that there was an absurdly huge amount of medicinal power flowing inside him. It was constantly trying to heal and fix his body, even as he lay down. A good chunk of his injuries had already subsided. Only the major injuries to his organs, bones, meridians, and cultivation were left. The minor injuries had healed.

Bai Yun groaned as he sat up. Or he tried to. It was all he could do to gently raise his chest. He sat with both his arms supporting him and pulled off the bandages covering his face. He took a look only to see that the insides of the bandages were red. Bai Yun then touched his face gently. He could still feel the scars on his body.

But the medicine inside him was both powerful and gentle. It was healing him even now. It must have cost quite a lot.

He looked around. He was back in his room. His father must have arrived, and then brought him home.

Suddenly the door to his room opened, and doctor Mu entered the room. He walked up to Bai Yun and took his pulse.

”It's good that you woke up so quickly.” Doctor Mu said.

”How long was I out for.?” Bia Yun asked Doctor Mu.

”It's been three days since your father called me over to check on you.” Doctor Mu explained. ”Honestly, it is a minor miracle that you woke up after three days. When I saw you, I wasn't sure you could survive, let alone recover so well.”

Bai Yun nodded when he heard Doctor Mu's analysis. It was true. This was the closest he had come to death in both his lives. And if he hadn't cast shatterstar by instinct, or stopped it midway when he realized what he did, he would be dead for sure. Thankfully, he only managed to cast a tiny part of shatterstar, and thus dodge the worst case result. And the result of his quick recovery must be due to the god sense controlling medicinal power passively.

”How are you feeling today?” Doctor Mu enquired.

”Like I should be dead.” Bai Yun replied with a chuckle.

”That's good.” Doctor Mu replied with a smile. ”The fact that you can still joke is a good sign. I was afraid that you would be too depressed about your injuries. But there is no need to be scared. I am confident that I can heal you up well.”

Bai Yun was not worried at all. Even though it may look as if there was no part of his body that wasn't damaged, he was incredibly lucky. None of the meridians had died, and his cultivation bases hadn't collapsed entirely. He knew six different ways to recover by himself even without the help of the medicinal ingredients and pills that had been fed to him.

Doctor Mu let go of Bai Yun with a nod. The moment he did so, Bai Yun's god sense got to work. He started to arrange the medicinal power inside his body to operate according to an ancient formula he had found in his father's library in his past life. His body started to heal itself at an almost visible pace. Unfortunately, no one was there to see it, or they would have been scared by its efficiency.

Bai Yun expected that it would be a week before his body was healed up properly. But the shock to his cultivation was even greater. It would take another week or even ten days to heal that too. And the only reason he could recover so quickly was that his parents had spend a truly unnecessary amount of medicinal power in him, which he had long since sealed up by his god sense, or at least ninety percent of it would have gone to waste.

”It is good that you are fine. I am yet to figure out how you woke up. It would be too sad if you die before I could solve the ancient mystery.” Doctor Mu laughed, as he started to leave.

Bai Yun smiled when he heard the doctor. It was only when the doctor had reached the door that he realized something.

”Wait doctor Mu.” He called out. ”What ancient mystery are you talking about?”

Doctor Mu turned to him. ”You don't know?” He asked him. When he saw Bai Yun shake his head before wincing in pain, he chuckled. ”I am talking about the mystery of the damaged soul.”

”For as long as records have existed, every few thousand years or so, someone like you, who has a damaged soul is born in this world. These children are unable to think and can not be healed by any means. No one can also identify the reason for it either. They simply live like a toddler throughout their lifetime. As far as I know, this world is the only one in which this phenomenon has been seen. Though I have heard rumors that there are similar cases appearing in the Immortal plane, but I couldn't verify it.”

When Bai Yun heard this, he was stunned. Someone who is born with a damaged soul, while incredibly rare, but was not unheard of. As a soul god, he knew all about this. But all the cases of it as far as he knows could be identified and healed by someone in the dao step.

The only exception to this would be him. Only a titled god of the soul system would be able to identify what had happened to him. But just how impossible would it be for someone to run into one. After all, even in the Grand Immemorial World, only three people had reached the titled god level in the soul system out of seventy two titled gods.
