I was forced to leave the world of immortal cultivation after being transformed into a loser.

"Which eye of my stepmother can tell that I'm okay?"

Gu Liyue felt inexplicably angry. It seemed that Ye Yalin had bullied the original owner a lot before, and this should be the original owner expressing her anger.

"My strange fire was dug out. Do you think I'm okay? Gu Yaoyao even whipped me with a whip. You couldn't see that I was covered in blood, so you said I was fine. How about you let me whip it back?"

Ye Yalin knew that Gu Yaoyao was very weak after fusing with the strange fire last night. She couldn't stay in a cold place like the ancestral hall for too long, otherwise she would get sick. She didn't know how she was doing.

Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, Ye Yalin thought of trying the soft approach.

"Liyue, please, ask the Patriarch to release Yaoyao. Considering how nice she is to you."

Gu Liyue was almost laughing out of anger.

Usually, Gu Yaoyao would set traps for the original owner to step into, and she would also imply in front of the children of the aristocratic families that the original owner was a useless person who could not practice and was disfigured, but occupied the position of the third prince's fiancée, which made the children of the aristocratic families dislike the original owner very much, and they would ridicule her whenever they saw her.

This made the original owner become timid and afraid to go out on the street easily. He became even more taciturn at Gu's house. He wanted to draw the energy into his body even more, but he didn't know how to do it.

"Yaoyao made a mistake, so she should be punished. This is for her own good. We need to let her know that digging out other people's strange fire is something she shouldn't do." Gu Liyue said earnestly, "It's best to teach your child yourself. If she digs out other people's strange fire roots, she will pay with her life, not just be imprisoned in the ancestral hall and fined with spirit stones."

Ye Yalin: “…”

When did this loser become so sharp-tongued? It sounds quite reasonable. No, what about Yaoyao?

Gu Liyue looked at her and said, "You agree, don't you? Then go back. I'm still in pain! I can't make trouble with you."

After saying that, he asked Aunt Yu to send Ye Yalin out.

Ye Yalin thought about it for a while, and it seemed that she couldn't ask Gu Liyue to help Yaoyao out today. She looked at Gu Liyue with resentment, turned and left.

****

The next day, Gu Liyue sat in front of the mirror and looked at the original owner's face. She found that it was 70% similar to her in the apocalypse. The only difference was that in the apocalypse, her face gave people the impression of being bright and generous, while the original owner's face was a little more docile, probably due to her submissive personality.

There was also a long scar on the left side of his face. The Gu family didn't pay much attention to it at the time and didn't treat it in time, which resulted in the scar being crooked and giving people a hideous feeling. It was an eyesore.

She wondered if she could remove the scar. In this world of immortal cultivation, removing a scar shouldn't be difficult.

When it was time to meet the head of the household, she had no choice but to take out a veil and put it on.

Come to the main courtyard to see Gu Zhen.

The servant led her to Gu Zhen's study.

Gu Liyue walked in and saw the second elder and the third elder were also there. She knew that Gu Zhen wanted to know about Gu Liyue's physical condition, because the second elder was good at medicine and the third elder was good at alchemy.

She bowed to them and said, "Grandfather, Second Elder, Third Elder."

Gu Zhen had discussed this with the second elder early in the morning. He had never seen Gu Liyue in this condition before, so he decided to take her pulse first.

Gu Zhenhan said, "Liyue, Grandfather thought about it all night last night and also looked up some ancient books. I don't know what's going on with your current physical condition."

He paused and said, "The Second Elder's medical skills are among the best in Donglin Country. Let the Second Elder help you take your pulse."

Gu Liyue was also in torment. She desperately wanted to become stronger, but she couldn't draw the energy into her body.

If you only rely on the strange fire, you will have to admit defeat in front of people in the foundation-building stage, not to mention the golden elixir, the primordial infant, and the higher level of the spirit transformation tribulation.

She stretched out her hand, and the Second Elder first glanced at her. He felt that her eyes, which were exposed outside the veil, were shining like stars in the vast sky.

It's obvious that he is a person with great fortune. How could he be a mortal who cannot draw Qi into his body?

He put his hand on Gu Liyue's wrist and examined it carefully.

Gu Liyue stared at the Second Elder closely. She was worried that her space would be discovered by the Second Elder. She could not expose her space. This space would be her last trump card. Regardless of whether she could practice or not, the space was a means to save her life.

She watched as the Second Elder first frowned, then relaxed, and finally pursed his lips with a heavy expression.

It seems that the second elder did not discover her space.

Seeing that the Second Elder had put away his hands and was lost in thought, Gu Zhen did not dare to disturb him. He just looked at him and waited for his response.

At this time, the third elder said impatiently: "Second brother, how is it?"

The Second Elder glanced at him, then looked at Gu Liyue and said, "Has your Dantian been destroyed?"

Gu Liyue nodded and said, "Yes, it was crushed when I was digging for the strange fire."

The second elder has always been obsessed with medicine. He doesn't know what happens in the Gu family. He frowned and glanced at the head of the family, wondering why the head of the family didn't protect the only disciple of the Gu family who has the strange fire.

"Digging strange fire? Your strange fire is in good condition. It's stronger than when I checked it last time."

"Maybe I stimulated him yesterday and made him stronger."

The Second Elder nodded and said, "Well, that's possible. It's just that the current state of your Dantian is a bit strange. The inner wall of your Dantian seems to be covered with a layer of foreign matter, but not completely."

Seeing him pause mid-sentence, several people looked at him. The impatient Third Elder drummed his fingers on the armrests of his chair. Before the Second Elder could continue, he said irritably, "Second Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. What's the point of saying half and leaving the other half?"

The Second Elder glanced at him and slowly said, "According to my speculation, the reason why Li Yue cannot practice is because your Dantian is covered with a layer of foreign matter, and this layer of matter has been integrated into the inner wall of your Dantian, so doctors cannot detect it.

Because your Dantian was previously ruptured, part of that foreign matter layer was also removed. The elixir you used only repaired your Dantian, leaving the foreign matter exposed. It's still clinging to the inner wall of your Dantian in patches. Now, I can tell from your pulse. But I don't know what that layer is, and there's no way to remove it now."

The Third Elder said, "So it might be poison."

The Second Elder shook his head: "I'm not sure either. There are so many kinds of detoxification pills, I don't dare give them to her."

Gu Zhen sighed. He knew that Gu Liyue's mother, Dong Fengxi, was not an ordinary person. Ever since his son married her, he had been looking forward to their offspring. He felt that with Dong Fengxi's qualifications, she would definitely give birth to a genius.

Who knew Gu Liyue possessed a strange fire but couldn't cultivate it? Now that the problem has been discovered, there's no solution. It's really frustrating.

Without the ability to cultivate, she would be like a useless person in this world. Now Gu Liyue’s only use was her engagement with the royal family, and she was still somewhat useful to the Gu family, so he didn’t mind supporting her until she married into the royal family.

Gu Liyue was not too disappointed. It turned out to be like this. She didn't know when the original owner was poisoned. Xiao Xianchuan's interference helped her see her own situation clearly.
