Chapter 17 - Chapter 017

The beautiful woman said in a deep voice, "Of course!"

"Do you still remember what Master told you about the Yao Race Bloodline?"

The young girl nodded and replied, "Of course I remember! You just taught me about it a while ago."

"The strength of the Yao Race Bloodline is directly linked to their power. The higher the Bloodline Rank, the stronger the potential, and the more terrifying the combat power."

"Therefore, the Yao Race values Bloodline Legacy extremely highly. To maintain the purity of their own clan's Bloodline, most choose to procreate within their own race to prevent the Bloodline from being weakened."

"There are countless Yao Race members, but the Bloodline Ranks are only divided into five levels."

"They are the Lesser Yao Bloodline, Greater Yao Bloodline, Royal Bloodline, Imperial Bloodline, and Emperor Bloodline."

"High-Rank Bloodlines have a Bloodline suppression effect on low-Rank Bloodlines, and among the tens of millions of Yao Race, over ninety-nine percent belong only to the Lesser Yao Bloodline…"

The beautiful woman nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, it seems you haven't completely ignored what I taught you."

"This Netherworld Beast is a genuine Royal Bloodline!"

"That powerful?!" The young girl was shocked, "No wonder Master you were so flustered."

"A Yao Race member with Royal Bloodline can at least reach the Middle Stage of the Tianji Realm once they mature," the beautiful woman added.

The young girl looked at the Netherworld Beast in the stable and unconsciously took a few steps back, her face showing fear.

"Oh my! Then why is it here…" she murmured.

Beasts of this Rank, in her impression, were great Yao Beasts that plagued regions, capable of devouring hundreds or thousands of people in one bite.

"Perhaps a terrifying existence is currently lodging in this inn," the beautiful woman looked back at the main building of the inn.

She carefully sensed, but could not sense anything.

"To use a Netherworld Beast as a mount, the strength of this person is unimaginable, most likely an old monster," she added.

"Most of these old monsters are volatile and difficult to get along with."

"Perhaps just because of a momentary like or dislike, they might start a massacre."

"This place is not suitable for prolonged stay, you and I, Master and disciple, should leave quickly!"

She immediately returned to the Fire Scaled Beast, pulled it up, and forced it to overcome its inner fear and walk out of the stable.

At this time, Fang Ling was unaware that the Netherworld Beast had been recognized and was strolling through the bustling street market.

He had countless times fantasized about human markets when he was a child, but now that he was actually there, he felt a bit lonely.

After walking for a long time, he gradually began to understand.

Because most of the people in the market were in groups of two or three, while he was alone.

He wasn't being sentimental about this; instead, he wanted to integrate himself into the crowd.

"In Master's words, I should be cultivating my mind now, right?" he thought.

He was in the bustling alley, drifting with the flow, unaware of which street he had walked onto.

However, from time to time, people would push past him, waking him from a mysterious reverie.

"What's all the commotion about?" He followed the direction of the surging crowd and found many people gathered there.

When he got closer, he saw that a wealthy family was performing a good deed here.

Steaming hot, fragrant white steamed buns, tray after tray, their aroma wafted for miles.

Whether beggar or child, one only needed to patiently queue here to receive a portion.

Of course, Fang Ling wouldn't idly queue here for steamed buns; his attention was drawn to a notice on the stage.

It turned out that the family distributing the steamed buns was the Bai family of Dragon City.

The Bai family did good deeds, firstly, to accumulate virtue for the Bai family Young Miss.

Secondly, they wanted to attract the attention of passersby to find a capable person who could cure the Bai family Young Miss of her poison.

"If successful, the reward will be a Bú Guǒ or an equivalent item."

"Bú Guǒ… Manzi Master seemed to have mentioned this item."

"Originally from the West Desert Region, it is a very rare precious medicine that can directly increase strength."

"I didn't expect such a good thing to be in Dragon City!" Fang Ling immediately became interested.

He leaped, flying directly over the crowd to reach the alms-giving stage.

The Bai family guards stationed there, seeing him arrive mid-air, naturally dared not neglect him.

A middle-aged man with a square face walked towards him, cupped his hands, and asked, "May I ask Young Master's name?"

"Fang Ling!" he replied.

"Then, does Young Master Fang possess the skill to cure poison and illness? Would you like to try at my Bai Manor?" the man asked again.

Fang Ling nodded slightly: "I know a little; perhaps I can be of help."

"Dayong, take Young Master Fang back to the manor immediately to see the Young Miss!" The man immediately called over a guard to lead the way for Fang Ling.

The Bai Manor was just across the street from where the almsgiving was taking place, very close.

Fang Ling followed the guard named Dayong and soon arrived at the Bai Manor.

Before he even entered the Bai Manor, he already sensed the several strong Qi within.

Within the Bai Manor, there were actually four Cultivators of the Tianji Realm guarding it.

Three of them were in the Early Stage of the Tianji Realm, and one was in the Middle Stage of the Tianji Realm.

Just based on this foundation, the Bai family could completely dominate the Nanyang Kingdom.

"With such strength, no wonder they dare to openly declare they possess a Bú Guǒ without fear of being targeted," Fang Ling chuckled.

He followed the Bai family servant Dayong through the main hall and arrived at a small parlor.

Many people were seated in the parlor, most of whom carried a strong medicinal scent.

Dayong respectfully said, "Because too many physicians have arrived, we must trouble you to wait here."

"If you have any requests, just call for the servants in the hall. Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Fang!"

Fang Ling nodded slightly and found a random seat to sit down.

"Heh heh, this Bai family is truly desperate, inviting just anyone into their home," a rebellious young man sneered at this moment.

His words weren't directed at Fang Ling, but they were undoubtedly meant for him.

After all, Fang Ling was too young; he didn't look like someone who could cure illnesses.

"Mo'er, watch your words. The Bai family is a prominent family in Dragon City; do not speak ill of them," the gray-robed elder sitting beside the rebellious young man suddenly opened his eyes and admonished him.

He glanced at Fang Ling, seeming a little strange, but it was just a fleeting look and he didn't spend much time on him.

At this moment, two more people arrived in the small parlor.

"It's her?" Fang Ling was slightly surprised; he hadn't expected her to come.

The two who arrived were precisely the Master and disciple he had met when leaving the inn.

The beautiful woman was graceful and noble, with unparalleled temperament, immediately attracting everyone's attention upon her appearance.

But they dared not look too much, even intentionally lowering their heads, showing great reverence for her.

"Master, look!"

"Isn't that the big brother we met at the inn?"

"Is he also a physician? But why doesn't he have any medicinal scent on him?"

After the little girl sat down, she leaned close to her Master's ear and whispered.

"Alright, have you forgotten what Master told you when we left? Speak less, act less!" the beautiful woman lightly snorted, signaling her to be quiet.

The young girl pouted and then sat down obediently.

"Since Dr. Dou has also arrived, let us discuss this strange poison," the gray-robed elder said.

"Everyone, feel free to express your opinions."

They had actually all examined the Bai family Young Miss already; they were just waiting for this important figure to arrive.

The young attendant standing by glanced at Fang Ling, hesitating to speak.

He knew that Fang Ling hadn't yet gone to examine his Young Miss, but the people present seemed to not care about this and didn't take him seriously.
