Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

Chapter 523 Time Tower Anomaly

The recording stone was useless, so Rong Shu continued to 'harass' the fragments of the Heavenly Book: "Hey, if you bump into them a few more times, knock away all the time silhouettes related to the Nine True Words, you understand?"

Whoosh!

The little blue flame sneakily emerged from the fingertip again.

Rong Shu tossed the fragment of the Heavenly Book against the wall of the Time Tower. It trembled and circled halfway through the air. Under Rong Shu's threatening gaze, the fragment exuded an unwillingness and crashed into the wall again.

Bang bang bang!

Inside the Time Tower, silhouettes of time are recreated.

Outside the Time Tower, figures kept 'flying' out of the tower.

"Ouch!"

"What's going on? The Time Tower is perfectly fine, why is it rejecting us?"

Many students who were cultivating inside the Time Tower were suddenly repelled by the Time Tower and 'thrown' out. Some of them were so careless that they fell face-first into the mud.

The students who were kicked out refused to believe it and tried to enter the Time Tower again, but were bounced back once more.

"The Time Tower...is something wrong with it?"

"Quickly, find Master Fu! The Tower of Time is possessed!!"

Such a big incident quickly became known throughout the entire academy.

The academy's teachers arrived in batches and gathered outside the Time Tower.

Further out, the area was also crowded with students who came to watch the spectacle, pointing and discussing the Time Tower.

Ultimately, even the Grand Master of Ceremonies was alarmed.

"The Grand Master has decreed that the Time Tower shall be sealed for fifty years, allowing only exits and no entry. If any cultivator interrupts their practice during this period, they may re-enter the Time Tower after fifty years."

"Everyone, disperse, disperse..."

The news gradually spread and became a hot topic of discussion within the Jixia Academy, adding another layer of mystery to the already mystical Time Tower.

……

Twenty years later.

When Rong Shu stepped out of the Time Tower, she took a casual step, her figure vanishing without a trace, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of the inner mountain cave.

"Ouch...it hurts..."

"It's so itchy! Is it really not okay to scratch this?"

"If you want to be disfigured, then scratch me. I'll scratch you and you won't make a sound!"

Rong Shu followed the sound and came over, only to see Duan Yuyan and the other four lying on the ground, some sitting and some lying down, all without any decorum.

"Rong Shu, you've come out of the Time Tower?" Duan Yuyan glanced at Rong Shu out of the corner of his eye and was surprised to see him. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that Rong Shu's twenty-year use of the Time Tower had recently expired, so he naturally had to come out.

"Yeah." Rong Shu asked curiously, "Why are you all lying on the ground? And you're all injured? Who beat you up like this?"

"It's all because of that bastard Duan. He said he knew of a small door that could bypass the mountain-guarding beasts and leave Jixia Academy. We believed him and went there... and ended up getting discovered by the mountain-guarding beasts and getting a beating." Lu Zhuo got excited and pulled at his wounds. The pain almost made him bare his teeth without regard for his image, but he managed to stop himself in time and maintain his elegance.

Among them, Lu Zhuo was the most vain because he always took special care to protect his face when fighting, so his injuries looked the least serious. Next was Si Chenbi.

As for the other three: Duan Yuyan, Xing Xue, and Feng Qianli, every single one of them had bruises and swelling on their faces, with small bumps on their skin that were incredibly itchy. They couldn't suppress the itch even after using a lot of pills.

"...These bumps are caused by the saliva of the guardian spirit beast, the Taotie Heavenly Dog. They will be incredibly itchy and swollen for three months." Rong Shu was shocked and immediately moved far away from the five people. "You guys were licked by the Taotie licking dog?!"

"I don't!" Lu Zhuo, who had a phobia of germs, immediately retorted.

Rong Shu then looked at Si Chenbi. Si Chenbi's face was also clean, without any bumps. However, on the back of her left hand, there were four bright red bumps, probably because she had accidentally gotten a few drops of Taotie Tiangou's saliva on her. She was picking at them.

"Chenbi, stop scratching, it will only make it itch more." Rong Shu put on gloves and reached out to stop Si Chenbi from scratching his hands.

Si Chenbi raised her face, her eyes listless, her small lips tightly pursed: [It's itchy, I want to scratch it.]

"Don't pick at it, don't pick at it, let me think of a way..."

Feng Qianli and the others are tough and can endure it, but Si Chenbi's wounds cannot be left untreated.

Rong Shu pondered for a moment and then said, "Everything follows the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint. There must be an antidote within a hundred steps. The saliva of the Taotie Heavenly Dog can cause swelling and itching. It also loves to eat the flesh of a mulberry called 'Hundred Days Su,' which will aggravate the toxicity in the saliva. Sometimes, the greedy Taotie Heavenly Dog will accidentally poison itself."

"The tender new roots and stems of the Hundred-Day Su have a sweet taste, which can just neutralize this extremely itchy poison, and it is also a favorite of the Gluttonous Heavenly Dog."

In general, it's like someone who likes spicy food, but excessive spiciness can easily burn their stomach. In this case, drinking some milk can relieve the spiciness.

So, while I couldn't resist the urge to eat spicy food, I also had to drink a lot of milk to relieve the spiciness.

"The meat of the Taotie Heavenly Dog looks delicious. If only I could stew it..." Feng Qianli, who was lying on the ground in a spread-eagle position, licked his lips and imagined eating meat.

One bite and his cultivation will surely increase greatly.

It's just a pity that it was a guardian spirit beast, and one that he couldn't defeat.

"Still thinking about eating meat? You almost got eaten by the Taotie Heavenly Dog." Lu Zhu rolled his eyes. "If the patrolling teacher had arrived half an hour later, we would have been looking for you inside the Taotie Heavenly Dog's belly."

Rong Shu raised an eyebrow: "What's going on now?"

I've never heard of any guardian beasts that eat students. Otherwise, the academy wouldn't have entrusted several guardian beasts to guard the mountain gate.

“Old Feng didn’t say he wanted to eat the Taotie Heavenly Dog to his face, but he did say he wanted to eat dog meat, which was overheard by the sharp-eared Taotie Heavenly Dog,” Lu Zhuo explained.

Despite its name, Taotie Tengu is not a true Taotie. It is a hybrid of Taotie and Shiyue Tengu, with its bloodline leaning more towards the Shiyue Tengu clan. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a dog.

When Feng Qianli said he wanted to eat dogs to their faces, wasn't that just a roundabout way of saying he wanted to eat the Taotie Heavenly Dog?

He got so close to them, then went all out and made some outrageous remarks about eating their dog meat? Who can tolerate that?

After examining the injuries of each of them, Rong Shu found that the external wounds were not serious and none of them lacked common healing pills. He rummaged through the Qiankun Pearl in Hanchuan and finally took out a black porcelain bottle and shook it: "A friendly gift of medicine, it can temporarily relieve itching, do you want it?"

Duan Yuyan asked warily, "Is it free?"

"Xing Xue and Chen Bi are free, so you three can each get a 50% discount. It's a loss-making price for my friends."

"Rong Shu! This is discrimination!" Duan Yuyan shouted indignantly.

Rong Shu glanced sideways: "Oh, I almost forgot, you're the culprit. You're the one who came up with the terrible idea of ​​skipping school. So you'll have to pay the original price... no, double the spirit stones."

Duan Yuyan: "...You!"

"You're lying. The itching caused by the saliva of the Taotie Heavenly Dog can only be cured by Bai Ri Su. Where did you get Bai Ri Su? That's the Taotie Heavenly Dog's symbiotic elixir, a treasure it cherishes like its lifeblood. It's extremely rare."

As far as Duan Yuyan knew, he only knew that in the area behind the academy where spirit beasts were kept, there was a habitat of the Taotie Heavenly Dog, where the Hundred-Day Su grew.

But none of them could defeat the Taotie Heavenly Dog, let alone steal the medicine.

"Although this pill cannot relieve your itching, it can temporarily block your five senses. Once I gather the Hundred-Day Fragrance and refine it into a pill, it will help reduce your swelling and relieve your itching."

Duan Yuyan was stunned.

Blocking out the five senses? You can do that?

"Are you sure this isn't poison? This is in a black bottle, for crying out loud!"
