The Healer Demands Payment!

Chapter 138

Meng Qi looked at the old man, not quite understanding what he meant. Still, seeing that he didn’t seem overly concerned, she could tell that even if Yun Qingyan was in danger, it shouldn’t be life-threatening. Meng Qi thus felt relieved and began to read the book that contained information about the Ten Absolutes Mountain.

The ancient Ten Absolutes Mountain was probably unknown to many cultivators. It was said that tens of thousands of years ago, a great battle had erupted among the ancient powerhouses, resulting in many of them perishing and a lot of legacies being cut off. The casualties of this war were far and severe. Among them, some of the flourishing sects that were in full bloom ended up being annihilated, and a good number of legendary ancient cultivation sites were leveled under the overwhelming power of those great cultivators, thus becoming extinct.

The Ten Absolutes Mountain was one of them. Since then, there had been no more Ten Absolutes Mountain in the Three Realms, and the increasingly inscrutable Starfallen Sea rose in its place.

This was the record Meng Qi had read in a book before. However, she didn’t know if it was true. The destruction of Ten Absolutes Mountain happened in the ancient time, but the book she perused was written just a few thousand years ago. The author, born long after Ten Absolutes Mountain was destroyed, based his analysis on the information that still remained during his lifetime.

In fact, the name Ten Absolutes Mountain was not entirely unknown. Among countless sects in Three Thousand Worlds, a number of them continued their legacy from ancient sects, inheriting many records dated back from tens of thousands of years ago. In similar manners, legends and hearsay about the Ten Absolutes Mountains might also survive in the Devil Realm and the Demon Realm.

The book that Meng Qi currently had in hand originated from the Demon Realm. She quickly read the content. Back in Jingyuetian, Yan Shunbei had mentioned that no one would know what happened inside once you entered the Minor Ten Absolutes Mountain. From outside the mountain, even great powerhouses at the Great Ascension stage couldn’t see what was happening inside. It was also the case for the ancient Ten Absolutes Mountain. In simple terms, even if someone entered the Ten Absolutes Mountain and came out alive, they wouldn’t remember what had happened inside or what experiences they had gone through. It was for this reason Yan Shunbei didn’t dare to entrust his son to anyone, not even the sect disciple.

What happened inside Ten Absolutes Mountain would remain secret forever. In a place where rules and laws did not reach, where even moral constraint ceased to exist, sending a person no better than a Qi Condensation cultivator was no different from sending them to a horrible death.

Yan Shunbei didn’t dare to gamble. He only had one son, and this son was so talented that he made him extremely proud.

Meng Qi finished the entire bamboo slip in no time. Unfortunately, nothing she had learned was useful for her situation, because the book did not contain any information on how to progress further on the Ten Absolutes Mountain.

Meng Qi contemplated for a moment before raising her eyes again. The old man was standing next to a row of bookshelves, holding a jade slip and also reading. He noticed her gaze and smiled, “Do you have any questions, Young Daoist?”

“I’m much older than you and have seen more of the world. If you have any questions or uncertainties, feel free to discuss them with this old man.”

“Thank you, Senior,” Meng Qi walked over to the old man’s side. He had always been very kind to her. “Senior, is it true that everything that happened in the Ten Absolutes Mountain is forgotten once you leave?” This was the aspect that she was most curious about. She was a medical cultivator, and she was currently studying arrays as well. However, as far as she knew, whether it was medicines, arrays, or spells, none of them could truly erase a person’s memory within a certain timeframe.
