Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

The Ghost Doctor nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he understood.

Then he gave Chi Junlin a strange look and said, "Using your own internal energy to help someone expel poison... I didn't expect you to be so generous... I'm even a little impressed."

Chi Junlin smiled but didn't say anything more.

At this moment, the Ghost Doctor pondered for a moment.

He then drove the wheelchair to the table, unlocked a brass lock, and took something out.

He then added, "Actually, to be honest, we are all disciples of the Ghost Fortune Teller."

Not only my medical and poison skills related to the plague, but also the immortality of ghost children and ghost elders, the dual cultivation of corpses by ghost prostitutes and ghost soldiers, and the methods of concocting Gu essence in ghost books and ghost paintings...

These were actually taught to us by the fortune teller.

However, being his apprentice is quite a headache...

If we had a choice, none of us would have chosen to come here and become his apprentices.

As he spoke, the Ghost Doctor handed a small picture book to Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin took it and flipped through it briefly, then couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Because the illustrations in the booklet depict various types of human experiments.

Some methods involve using a secret Gu poison technique to infuse the essence of one person's body into another, causing one person to age rapidly while the other rejuvenates.

Some methods involve cultivating a relationship between a person and a corpse, transforming the person's yang energy into yin energy and introducing it into the corpse.

Some methods involve using evil magic to transform people into monsters that are half-human and half-corpse.

Other methods involve using humans as experimental subjects to modify their bodies with unusual poisons or highly venomous insects.

These experiments are all-encompassing and depicted with remarkable realism and lifelike detail.

A single glance, accompanied by extremely detailed written descriptions, makes one feel as if they have personally entered the experimental site and witnessed the experiments firsthand.

In the end, the images in the album became the familiar figures of Chi Junlin.

The Ghost Doctor chuckled and said, "You guessed right. The paintings in this album were drawn by Ghost Danqing according to the Ghost Physiognomist's request."

The subjects of the experiments depicted in the atlas eventually became the legendary Eight Eccentrics of Southern Hunan.

As she spoke, she looked down at her legs.

He continued, "These legs of mine were used by the Ghost Fortune Teller as experimental objects for injecting Gu poison back then."

Fortunately, I have a great talent for using poison, and the fortune teller felt that my mind could help him with his research, so he finally let me go.

Otherwise, I might end up like the plague demon, a mad, inhuman, ghost-like being.

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin couldn't help but frown.

I take back what I said earlier. This fortune teller is clearly not a kind person.

He is a wicked and evil man.

The Ghost Doctor then smiled at Chi Junlin and said, "Now you know why I thought you couldn't possibly cure my leg, right?"

After so many experiments by the fortune teller, my legs are already ruined.

I have tried countless times, and no matter what method I use, I cannot get even the slightest feeling back in my legs.

They turned into two lifeless things, like stones.

When the Ghost Doctor said these words, he smiled, but his eyes were filled with deep sorrow.

Upon closer reflection, although the "Eight Eccentrics of Southern Hunan" are called "eccentric," why would I naturally want to become such a person?

If they had a choice, they certainly wouldn't want to become the kind of person that everyone hates and despises.

The real culprit was that bastard fortune teller.

Thinking about it this way, Chi Junlin even felt that the Demon Lord Lan Gexing's refusal to accept the Ghost Fortune Teller into the sect was indeed a well-considered decision.

After all, everyone joins the Demonic Cult for the freedom to act without any taboos.

Who wants to be used as a test subject by a madman and turned into a grotesque, inhuman creature...?

However, at this moment, Chi Junlin was looking at the picture book in his hand.

Suddenly remembering something, he asked, "Why does the ghost fortune teller conduct so many experiments?"

"You can't just be bored and want to torment people, can you?"

"of course not."

The Ghost Doctor replied, "Actually, just by looking at these things, you can tell what the Ghost Fortune Teller wants to do, right?"

What he was researching... was actually immortality..."

"Immortality...?"

Chi Junlin nodded, feeling that this was how things should be.

It's not that the fortune teller's actions were entirely correct.

Rather, it is immortality, which has been the lifelong pursuit of people from the three religions throughout history.

However, judging from the results, the fortune teller seems to have reached a dead end.

Even after studying corpses, martial arts, and poisons, no real way to achieve immortality has been found.

So Chi Junlin casually remarked, "So, the Ghost Fortune Teller must have failed in the end, right? Is he dead now?"

"Well... I can't say for sure either."

Upon hearing the Ghost Doctor's words, Chi Junlin was immediately stunned.

"What does 'can't say' mean? If you're dead, you're dead; if you're not dead, you're not dead."

"Um……"

The Ghost Doctor remained silent for a moment, seemingly pondering how to explain this to Chi Junlin.

Then, a strange smile appeared on her face.

He then asked, "Do you know about the art of soul transference?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin narrowed his eyes.

If you ask someone else, they might not be able to give you a good answer, but Chi Junlin happens to know the answer to this question.

Among the many martial arts techniques hidden in the Shun Mausoleum is a strange secret martial arts method passed down from the ancient martial god Chi You.

It is called the Soul-Capturing Edict Technique.

This mental cultivation method has no other effects, but it is said that once mastered, one can transfer their soul into another person's body!

Chapter 316 Healing the Leg

Chi Junlin never believed in the concept of the soul, and always regarded any cultivation method involving the soul as nonsense.

In her view, the so-called ghostly disturbances must be caused by someone pretending to be a ghost.

In most cases where the so-called "soul" is affected, it can be attributed to some kind of influence on the brain or nerves.

In conclusion, Red King is a staunch materialist.

She believes that everything has a reason and that a reasonable explanation can be found.

And when you're dead, you're dead.

Transferring one's soul is simply impossible.

So at this point, he said, "You mean that after failing in a lot of research, the ghost fortune teller finally turned to studying ghosts and gods?"

He wanted to use a soul-shifting technique to transfer his soul into the body of another person, thereby gaining a kind of immortality.

is that so? "

The Ghost Doctor nodded and continued, "That's right. You can also see the Ghost Physiognomist's research notes. After conducting so much research, he gradually discovered that all the methods of immortality researched by his predecessors had reached a dead end."

Therefore, in the final moments of his life, his emotions became increasingly extreme.

He then began to firmly believe in ghosts and gods.

At the same time, they are constantly trying to transfer souls.

And in the final moments of his life, I heard him making strange noises here...

It seems that...some progress has been made.

However... when I arrived here the next day, I discovered...

He is dead.

At this point, the Ghost Doctor's expression shifted between light and shadow.

Then he looked at the painting hanging on the wall.

Chi Junlin frowned and asked, "You mean, he succeeded?"

"Who knows?"

The Ghost Doctor's expression was inscrutable, and he looked at Chi Junlin with an extremely eerie expression.

Then, flashing a pale white smile, he said, "It's possible, he succeeded... who knows? What do you think?"

Chi Junlin narrowed his eyes and looked at the Ghost Doctor.

The Ghost Doctor chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Just kidding. I also think it's unlikely he'll succeed."

If he truly has the ability to transfer souls, then I would obviously be the first person he wants to possess.

But I'm alive and well now. So most likely, he failed.

Chi Junlin nodded and pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, he asked again, "You said before that after Gui Danqing finished painting this picture, he split into the personality of Gui Shusheng... and that Gui Danqing was responsible for painting all of the experimental picture books of Gui Xiangshi?"

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Doctor shook his head and said, "I know what you mean, but... my conclusion is that it's impossible."

The Ghost Scholar appeared long before the Ghost Fortune Teller died, and that painting was also painted a long time ago.

I believe that the Ghost Scholar is also a product of some experiment by the Ghost Fortune Teller, possibly related to experiments on soul transfer.

But after the Ghost Fortune Teller died, I tested Ghost Painting and Ghost Scholar many times.

It's certain they aren't fortune tellers.

—Or to put it another way, the ghost fortune teller had absolutely no interest in the body that was already inhabited by two souls.

Chi Junlin nodded, indicating that he understood.

The two remained silent for a while, seemingly unable to find anything to talk about.

Chi Junlin thought for a moment and then suggested, "Your leg... how about I try?"

"Um……"

The Ghost Doctor frowned, wanting to refuse, but hesitated for a moment.

“You also thought Wei Ziqing was doomed, but I still managed to save him.”

Chi Junlin then said, "Perhaps it will be the same this time."

This statement seemed to finally move the Ghost Doctor.

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded, saying with a nonchalant expression, "Then let you give it a try."

-

After a short while, the two arrived at a quiet room.

Compared to the small room filled with all sorts of poisonous insects, this place is much larger, and the bed is much softer.

The Ghost Doctor said this was the Ghost Fortune Teller's old room, but she never slept here.

The reason for choosing this location is that the fortune teller usually keeps many medical tools in his room, such as acupuncture needles, lamps, and gua sha knives.

Although the Crimson Emperor may not necessarily be needed, it's better to be prepared than not.

After entering the room, the Ghost Doctor intended to get into bed by herself, but Chi Junlin thought she was too slow, so he picked her up and placed her on the bedside.

Previously, when the Ghost Doctor fell, Chi Junlin had carried her once. He only felt that her body was very thin and small, so she was also very light, like a little girl who had not fully developed.

It was so heavy that Chi Junlin could hardly feel any weight.
