Free Web NovelChapter 79: Chapter 79: A Mystical Opportunity
It would be a lie to say Shen Nian wasn’t stunned by what the voice from the void said.
She had been astonished to find she had a second chance at life, and equally astonished to receive such a powerful space!
But as it turned out, this voice from the void was the reason for everything.
He had just said that to give her a new life, he had nearly exhausted his Soul Power and was about to disappear. A complicated feeling welled up in Shen Nian’s heart.
This was a debt so profound it went far beyond simply having her life saved.
"Senior, I..."
"Don’t blame yourself. If it weren’t for the fortune of this space, my body and soul would have perished a thousand years ago. The fact that we can meet now can be considered fate. If you truly feel indebted, then carry on the legacy I’ve left behind. That way, my thousand-year wait will not have been in vain!"
"Senior, please rest assured. I will dedicate myself to studying everything you’ve left behind. I will not let your life’s work go to waste!"
"Being chosen by the space means you have an affinity with it. I can also see that you have quite a talent for the path of medicine. However, your future is in your own hands now. I hope what I’ve left behind will be of help to you."
"Thank you for your generous gift, Senior!"
The legacy of someone known as a Divine Doctor of his generation would be anything but ordinary. In her past life, Shen Nian had studied many things and held numerous jobs, but medicine—especially traditional Chinese medicine—had always been her greatest interest.
’It’s just that in my past life, I never had the chance to study it systematically. I never imagined that after being reborn, I’d receive such a wondrous opportunity!’
Not just for her own sake, but for his as well, Shen Nian knew she had to seize this opportunity!
"I’ve never taken a disciple in my entire life. My teachings were nearly lost to time. Thankfully, heaven has not abandoned me! If you are willing, you may call me Master."
"Master!"
Shen Nian called out the title without a shred of hesitation. Whether for the immense debt she owed him or for his lifetime of knowledge, he was more than worthy of being called her master.
"My good disciple! With this, I can consider my wish fulfilled."
The voice from the void grew fainter and fainter, until at last, it was gone.
Shen Nian knew that her master, whom she had just acknowledged but never even met, had now vanished from the world forever.
"Master, rest assured. I will carry on your life’s work and make it flourish!"
Shen Nian clenched her fists, making a silent vow.
Now that she had decided to inherit everything here, Shen Nian felt no pressure as she stepped through the door before her. Instead, she felt a faint sense of anticipation.
The first floor housed a hall, a kitchen, and a pharmacy. The kitchen contained a set of ancient utensils. If Shen Nian ever wanted to cook here, she would probably have to replace them.
However, the various types of medicinal herb seeds in the pharmacy delighted Shen Nian.
After learning that the space required high-quality medicinal herbs to increase its Spiritual Power, Shen Nian had worried that finding superior seeds would be difficult. She hadn’t expected to find so many right here, all of them perfectly preserved.
She would plant them as soon as she identified them all.
The second floor held the living quarters, including a study and a bedroom. The furniture clearly had some age to it. In the study, aside from some thread-bound medical books, was the rest of the Divine Doctor’s life’s work.
Shen Nian wasn’t in a hurry to read through them just yet, but she was filled with reverence for these texts.
The third floor was a medicine-refining room. Once Shen Nian had made some progress in her studies, this would be the perfect quiet place for her to concoct medicines.
After looking around the house, Shen Nian went back outside. Seeing the Lingzhi and ginseng next to the Spirit Well, her heart filled with a complex mix of feelings.
’I was so lucky to have found these two precious herbs. Otherwise, I might not have been able to break the space’s restrictions, and I might never have had the chance to meet Master!’
’Sometimes, fate really is a mysterious thing!’
KNOCK KNOCK...
Shen Nian was still staring blankly at the two herbs when she heard a knock from outside.
’That must be Lu Cheng!’ Shen Nian’s heart leaped with joy, and she prepared to leave. Just as she was about to go, she stopped, turned back to the nearby apple tree, and plucked two gleaming red apples before vanishing from the space.
