Outside Of Time
1052 A Secret That Can't Be Told to Ling'Er
After about fifteen minutes, the fourth hall master left the apothecary.
The moment he walked out, he turned his head and looked at the apothecary with a strange glint in his eyes.
When he had entered the apothecary and met the heir, he maintained respect and etiquette during the entire conversation. Although they didn't talk much, he expressed his desire to follow the heir's orders.
The result was good, but the extraordinariness of the apothecary left an extremely deep impression on him.
"That young man who is wiping the ground has a bloodline that contains dense human race's power… He isn't ordinary. Also, I can sense some kind of blessing from the person who is reciting poems at the entrance!"
"There's also that Ancient Spirit girl. She has luck on her!"
"The servant girl who is boiling the water gives me a feeling of Soul Accumulation. Her soul is incomplete, probably because the soul was intervened by some high-ranking figure after the death of the ancient Soul Accumulation expert."
All of this discovery caused waves in the fourth hall master's heart. What astonished him even more was the back room…
"The entire apothecary is filled with the power of a strange authority. It should be related to forgetting. If one's cultivation isn't high enough, they will be unknowingly affected in the apothecary."
"This influence… Although it's only at the early stages, it still possesses the might to affect the soul. If it is cultivated successfully… it could dominate and replace the consciousness of all beings in a vast area, using them as vessels for its own cultivation."
"The source of this is in that back room, which is where the young man who came to pick me up before is."
"From the looks of it, these people have an extraordinary relationship with the heir, especially that young man who is referred to as the young master…"
The fourth hall master walked away with a pensive expression.
At that moment, in the back room, Xu Qing opened his eyes. The contact between D132's nascent soul and the god's finger also separated at this moment.
In an instant, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes. Simultaneously, everyone in the medicine shop also shook, their expressions becoming dazed, then losing the memories of the previous moments.
The starting point of this memory was the contact between Xu Qing's D132 nascent soul and the god's finger. The end point was their separation like at this moment.
However, this process was silent and natural.
Xu Qing frowned and picked up the recording jade token in front of him.
He had arranged this item according to the method he had used in the Prison Department back then to check the changes in him during this period. However, he didn't find any problems after looking through the recording.
From the start to the end, he had been meditating here.
"But why do I keep feeling like I've forgotten something?"
Xu Qing thought about it. With a wave of his hand, the Diamond Sect's ancestor flew out. The shadow on the ground also emitted fluctuations, transmitting information.
"Everything is normal?"
The recording jade token was only one of the arrangements. The shadow and the Diamond Sect's ancestor were other preparations by Xu Qing.
After that, he checked his surroundings and his storage bag to see if there were any other clues, but seeing that everything was fine, he thought about it and left the back room to head to the main hall.
Everyone in the hall was as usual. When Ling'er saw Xu Qing, she revealed a sweet smile and ran over.
"Brother Xu Qing, how's your cultivation? I feel like I'll make a breakthrough in the next few days."
Xu Qing stroked Ling'er's head and smiled. After that, he walked to the counter and lifted his hand to grab a recording jade token hidden on the beam.
This was what he had placed yesterday.
Although everything was normal in his perception these few days, Xu Qing kept feeling that something was amiss. Hence, he wanted to see if anything had changed in the outside world during his research.
At that moment, Xu Qing held it in his hand and checked it carefully. He discovered that everything was as normal.
There were no problems with the records in the jade token.
This caused even more doubts to rise in his heart.
"During my research, regardless of whether it was myself or the outside world, there were no changes? Then what have I been studying these few days?"
Xu Qing fell into deep thought.
Not far away, the heir picked up his teacup and calmly glanced at Xu Qing, feeling comfortable in his heart.
The jade tokens… were naturally tampered by him.
"So, there is a day when this kid doesn't understand something. Haha, it feels good to watch.'
'However, this kid's comprehension is truly astonishing. If he forgets, then everything has to forget. This domain of forgetfulness is truly domineering."
At the thought of this, the heir decided that after observing for a few more days, he would go and enlighten Xu Qing to establish his dignity.
Xu Qing frowned. After he kept the jade token, he turned to look at the heir.
The heir's expression was calm and his gaze was deep.
Xu Qing thought about it. After cupping his fists, he entered the back room. When he sat down cross-legged, he recalled carefully.
However, no matter how he thought about it, there didn't seem to be anything wrong. It was just that he still felt that he had forgotten something, so he prepared to use his trump cards.
"Have I forgotten anything these few days? Or were there any abnormal reactions?"
Xu Qing spread out his divine sense and sent it into D132's god finger.
The god's finger pretended to be asleep and ignored him.
However, this behavior still caused Xu Qing to sense some clues.
"Agreement?"
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. He still had another trump card. He took out a small bottle from his storage bag, and shook it slightly. Immediately, the sound of collision rang out and whispers rang out faintly.
Feeling that the activity inside was still good, Xu Qing opened the bottle. With his left hand, he captured something through the air. Suddenly, a ball of light flew out, rapidly expanding in front of him until it reached about five feet in size, before Xu Qing restrained it.
This was a tree-like brain.
It was the brain tree Xu Qing had captured from the Great Void World before he left Fenghai County.
At that time, he had caught a few of them. Now, he took one out and looked at it coldly.
This brain tree trembled. It clearly had a deep impression of Xu Qing and was filled with fear. It quickly shook and emitted sounds.
"Not hungry, won't eat… don't want to eat… I'm a good brain, won't eat a good brain."
Ignoring the other party's words, Xu Qing pressed his right hand against the brain tree and calmly spoke.
"Swallow all the memories of my meditation two days ago."
This brain tree trembled but it didn't dare to disobey. Hence, it carefully approached. The moment it came into contact with Xu Qing, its brain flashed with bolts of lightning.
As the lightning swam in the brain tree, Xu Qing didn't feel like he had lost his memory at all. However, the brain tree shuddered and it emitted a dazed emotion.
At this moment, it no longer transmitted emotions of fear.
Xu Qing paid close attention. Very soon, there were changes to the brain tree. It retreated a little and the trance disappeared. Fear rose again and it quickly shook its head.
"Not hungry, won't eat… don't want to eat… I'm a good brain, won't eat a good brain."
Xu Qing frowned and sensed that there was something wrong with this brain tree. It had repeated its words. Moreover, from the looks of it, it didn't seem to know that it had repeated them. It was as though it had forgotten about the devouring earlier.
Xu Qing thought about it and lifted his hand again. Just as he was about to continue testing, the brain tree's body suddenly trembled intensely. In a few breaths, it collapsed and turned into dust that scattered on the ground.
Xu Qing's eyes gleamed. After pondering for a while, he took out another brain tree and continued to try. After a few times, when five of the brain trees died, he took a deep breath and some unbelievable understanding surfaced in his heart.
"Every time they devour the memories of me studying the concept of forgetfulness, they will automatically forget it, thinking that they haven't devoured it before…"
"In other words, after they ate my memories, they all lost this portion of memories and don't remember eating it."
"Then their body won't be able to withstand it and they'll collapse and die…"
"That part of my memory can't be remembered?"
Xu Qing rubbed his forehead. He recalled that he had been feeling like he had forgotten something these few days.
"Could it be that I'm also affected by this domain I comprehended?"
Just as Xu Qing was thinking about how to verify it, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation coming from the highest hall of the Moon Rebel Hall. That was the captain calling out.
Only then did Xu Qing remember that it had been a long time since he had gone to deliver oil to the captain. Hence, he took out the mirror and stepped into the supreme hall.
As soon as he entered, he heard the captain's excited voice coming from the gate.
"How's the progress, Little Qing? It's been a few days. Can my kidney be saved? Have you gotten it back?"
Xu Qing was startled.
"What kidney?"
The captain was also stunned. A small totem appeared on the gate and stared at Xu Qing.
"Junior Brother, stop fooling around. Don't joke about my kidney. That's extremely important to me."
Xu Qing frowned and looked at the captain, falling silent for a moment.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I seem to have forgotten some things."
Erniu's eyes widened. Looking at Xu Qing's expression and confirming that Xu Qing had really forgotten, he took a profound breath.
"Have you comprehended something strange recently?"
Xu Qing nodded.
"The crown prince asked me to comprehend the domain of forgetfulness."
When Erniu heard this, he sighed.
"Junior Brother, why are you comprehending randomly again… Have you forgotten what you promised me? You really don't remember promising me 100 million spirit stones?"
Xu Qing was expressionless as he looked at the captain.
The captain looked extremely sincere.
"Really, Little Qing, you really promised me. Moreover, you promised me to help me get my kidney back. You remember the clay fox, right? You told me that she has taken a fancy to your yang essence. I didn't make this up. Think about it yourself."
Xu Qing closed his eyes. He didn't believe the captain's words about 100 million spirit stones. According to the captain's personality, this must be fake.
However, he recalled that he had never told the captain about the clay fox. Now that the other party had mentioned it, he seemed to have really forgotten about it.
At that moment, he finally understood why he sensed that he had forgotten something when he was at the apothecary.
He nodded and asked.
"What happened to your kidney?"
The captain sighed. He sensed that Xu Qing's domain of forgetfulness was shameless and unreasonable. Back then, he had spent a lot of effort to get him to agree. If he were to put it simply now, he was worried that Xu Qing would refuse to help.
Hence, he could only recall the sorrow and anxiety he felt back then and repeat what he had said along with apt expressions.
Like this, like this, in this way…
After Xu Qing finished hearing it, he was about to refuse when the captain sighed again and pondered to himself that it was the same last time. Hence, he used the same excuse he had used before.
After saying everything, he sensed very tired and peered at Xu Qing eagerly.
Xu Qing hesitated. In the end, he nodded and twisted to leave.
Seeing that Xu Qing was about to leave, the captain was a little worried and shouted.
"Go back and help me find my kidney first. Junior Brother, don't continue comprehending. I really don't want to repeat this conversation the next time I see you… It's so tiring to repeat it again and again…"
Xu Qing returned.
He stood in the back room and pondered for a moment before sighing.
"I will go look for it."
With that, Xu Qing's body swayed and he disappeared from the apothecary.
He didn't tell Ling'er about his departure.
