Chapter 18 - Chapter 018

Fang Ling didn't want to listen to their useless chatter; he was only interested in the Bú Guǒ.

He immediately got up, left the main hall, and had the servants waiting outside lead him to treat the Bai family Miss.

During the process, no one paid attention to Fang Ling's coming and going, except for the beautiful woman who arrived last.

Fang Ling followed the Bai family servant to the Bai family Miss's boudoir.

"May I ask Your Excellency where you hail from?" a well-dressed middle-aged man at the door asked.

This person appeared gentle and refined, but Fang Ling detected a strong Evil Qi emanating from him.

He was definitely not as benevolent as he seemed on the surface, but rather a ruthless individual seasoned by countless battles.

Moreover, his cultivation was not low; he was one of the Bai family's four Tianji Realm experts.

"Just a Loose Cultivator," Fang Ling said indifferently.

Bai Jiang was somewhat surprised, as he couldn't quite see through this young man in front of him.

However, Fang Ling carried no medicinal scent, which made him hesitate.

"I see that Your Excellency is not an experienced practitioner of the medical Dao, so I'll be blunt with a reminder," he said again.

"The poison my daughter is afflicted with is extremely potent. If one's Dao is not profound, I'm afraid it might..."

"Several physicians have unfortunately been poisoned to death while treating my daughter previously."

Fang Ling: "Since I dared to come, I naturally have some confidence."

"It's just that after the matter is concluded, will your Bai family truly be willing to part with the Bú Guǒ?"

Bai Jiang laughed heartily and said, "My Bai family is the foremost aristocratic family in Dragon City, and also one of the seven great Cultivation aristocratic families in the Nanyang Kingdom."

"Since it has been publicly announced, we naturally won't renege. Your Excellency can rest assured."

"That's good then," Fang Ling nodded. "Then I'll go in now and remove the poison from your daughter."

"Please!" Bai Jiang stepped aside, personally helping to open the door.

Fang Ling entered the room, but Bai Jiang also followed him in.

He would always accompany all physicians during their treatments.

"You go out first!" Fang Ling stopped and turned to him.

Bai Jiang was startled at first, then gently shook his head: "It's not that I don't trust Young Master."

"It's just that I'm afraid my daughter's condition might suddenly worsen while you physicians are treating her."

"If I'm by her side, I can at least help stabilize her..."

"Are you sure you want to follow?" Fang Ling asked seriously again, "This is very important."

Later, when he removed the poison, he would naturally have to use the Heavenly Plague Cauldron that Fat Master lent him.

Such a treasure naturally could not be known to outsiders, so if he insisted on following, then so be it.

Seeing this, Bai Jiang pondered for a moment.

Then he silently turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.

.........

"Big Brother, what's this young man's background? He's so arrogant."

"Looking at his demeanor, it's as if he's absolutely certain he can cure Ying'er."

"And judging by his tone and expression when he speaks, he shows no respect for you at all. Either he's putting on an act, or he has an extremely powerful background."

Suddenly, a person appeared outside the door. This person was Bai Jiang's second younger brother, Bai Bo.

Bai Jiang looked at his brother and gave a bitter smile: "I'm not sure. Let him try for now."

"At least he's more special than the others who came before."

"Just now, I had a brief chat with Dr. Dou, and Ying'er's condition is not optimistic..."

Bai Bo sighed softly, unsure how to comfort his elder brother.

Although his elder brother Bai Jiang had been triumphant and glorious his entire life, he only had this one daughter.

Who would have thought that this one daughter would now encounter an accident?

Inside the boudoir, Fang Ling walked directly to the Bai family Miss's bed and pulled back the curtain.

This Bai family Miss was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a face that exuded peace and prosperity.

But at this moment, she seemed to be having a nightmare, her brows tightly furrowed.

Her complexion was constantly changing, sometimes red, sometimes orange...

Fang Ling observed for a moment, noting a total of seven colors, which alternated and changed without any pattern.

"Could it be the poison of the Seven-Colored Sky Butterfly?" He raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised.

"Impossible, right? Didn't Fat Master say that this type of poisonous insect had already gone extinct in the outside world?"

He raised his hand, flipped his palm, and summoned the Heavenly Plague Cauldron.

Then he immediately injected spiritual Qi into the Heavenly Plague Cauldron, activating this supreme treasure.

Next, the Heavenly Plague Cauldron shimmered with bursts of green light, and it floated on its own above the Bai family Miss's head.

It hovered in mid-air, constantly rotating, releasing a mysterious power.

A moment later, a colorful chrysalis emerged from the Bai family Miss's body and was sucked into the cauldron.

Fang Ling recalled the treasured cauldron, opened its lid, and looked inside.

He carefully studied the wriggling colorful chrysalis, confirming its identity.

"It really is a Seven-Colored Sky Butterfly, but it's still in its chrysalis state."

"It's using the Bai family Miss's body as an incubator, preparing to metamorphose."

"It seems this Bai family Miss's Physique is probably not ordinary either," he thought to himself.

An adult Seven-Colored Sky Butterfly is one of the most potent poisonous creatures in the world.

He had heard Fat Master describe this poisonous insect in detail; its venom could easily poison and kill a Yaoguang Realm expert.

Even peerless experts who had lit up the seven stars and transcended the seven martial Dao realms would find it difficult to resist.

However, in its current chrysalis state, it was still very weak.

After its metamorphosis, it would still need to undergo several Reincarnations and re-Cultivations before it truly matured.

"It would be a waste to refine you now, so I'll keep you for a while."

"Next time I return to Hanshan Temple, I'll show you to Fat Master; he's sure to go crazy with joy."

He closed the cauldron lid, and absorbed both the insect and the cauldron back into his body.

The Heavenly Plague Cauldron could not only be used to Cultivate poison arts but was also the best insect-rearing vessel in the world.

This Seven-Colored Sky Butterfly chrysalis would be much better off inside it than inside the Bai family Miss's body.

He knew from observing the Bai family Miss's condition just now that she wouldn't last much longer and couldn't support its metamorphosis at all.

At that time, it would have to leave this host body and find a new target.

"I came to seek a Bú Guǒ, but I didn't expect such an unexpected gain," Fang Ling laughed.

The value of this chrysalis could be equivalent to a thousand Bú Guǒ; it was a great Opportunity.

Coming back to his senses, he looked at the Bai family Miss on the bed.

As the Seven-Colored Sky Butterfly chrysalis was peeled from her body, all the toxins were also removed.

Her face no longer changed colors from red to green; it had returned to normal.

However, after being parasitized by the chrysalis for so long, her body was weakened, and her face appeared bloodless.

Outside the door, Bai Jiang was restless, even more anxious than before.

Previously, he could accompany the physicians during their treatments, but now he could only wait anxiously outside the door.

"Big Brother, I'll go check on Dr. Dou and the others first."

"Perhaps they've discussed something." Bai Bo was too anxious waiting here, so he decided to go and see.

"Go ahead!" Bai Jiang waved his hand and said.

But just then, the door opened, and Fang Ling calmly walked out.

"How is it?" Bai Jiang quickly stepped forward to ask.

Fang Ling said, "The poison has been cleared, but her body is still a bit weak."

"She needs to recuperate for a period of time to fully recover."

"Really?!" Bai Jiang was overjoyed and rushed into the room to check.

"Good, good! Many thanks, Young Master Fang, for saving her life!" Bai Jiang's trembling voice soon came from inside the room.

Outside the house, Bai Bo looked at Fang Ling in surprise, not expecting him to actually succeed.
