There were whip marks left from what the previous servants had inflicted on her. There were other injuries as well—and the sense of weakness from long-term malnutrition. Everything else added up.However, He Xi could not be bothered with the pain.
She shut her windows tight and quickly lay in bed when she confirmed when there was no one around.
She went adrift, and it was as if her soul had left her body. When she opened her eyes again, her consciousness had entered the portable s.p.a.ce.
The s.p.a.ce had been with He Xi for years, and she could list everything in it without looking. However, what opened up before her shocked her.
W-was this still the s.p.a.ce that she remembered?
In her previous life, the s.p.a.ce was barren and hollow.
It was different from all the s.p.a.ces that one would read about in the popular web novels. It was barren and filled with shards of stone. One could not plant anything; neither could they bring livestock into it. That included He Xi"s body, which slept outside while she was in the s.p.a.ce.
In the middle of the land was a palace named "Meru Palace". He Xi had counted it out of boredom once, and there were eighty-one rooms in there. However, He Xi could not open any of the rooms in her previous life, no matter how hard she tried.
The only thing of value was probably the Yiw.a.n.g spring water in front of the palace. Even so, all it did was clear one"s mind and eyes, on top of its healing powers.
In her previous life, He Xi mostly used the s.p.a.ce as portable storage and a medicine lab.
The s.p.a.ce in front of her eyes was completely different. He Xi could not help but think that she might have entered the wrong place. The sand- and stone-filled floor had been replaced by a peculiar black soil. The surrounding air was no longer dry and hollow. Instead, there was a refreshing feel to it.
It was as if all the cells in her body were alive and greedily absorbing all the air here. Before long, the pain and sense of weakness that she felt earlier was gradually being replaced by a feeling of refreshment.
He Xi took a deep breath and squatted down. She grabbed a small handful of the black soil and sniffed it. Even though she was no expert on plants and herbs, the black soil was exuding spiritual influence. It was not something that the sand and rocks from before could compare to.
Why did the s.p.a.ce change that much? He Xi let go of the black soil excitedly. Could it be that the explosion from her previous life upgraded the s.p.a.ce?
No matter how she looked at it, the black soil looked very fertile. She wondered if spiritual plants would grow well in this world and then decided to get some seeds to try it out.
He Xi skipped over to where she used to store things.
Just as she had expected, the solutions that she made in her previous life had disappeared in the explosion, including the one poison that could destroy a city with a single drop—City Downfall.
Then again, some things remained just like the shadowless needles and some props that she used for disguise in her past life.
He Xi bent down and scooped some water from the spring for drinking, but she felt her stomach churning the instant the water entered it. There was also a black substance coming from her body.
He Xi was shocked. The water only used to alleviate fatigue and nourish one"s organs. How did it…?
