Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 387: Chapter 257: Beast King of the Ancient Forest, Challenging at the Door

Hong Fang and the Fourth Prince healed without medicine, and the secret behind this was known only to Ye Lingyue.

”Master, it’s really miraculous. What strange poison did you use to deal with the Great General of Qi City and the Fourth Prince?” Jin Wu Old Monster was still marveling. He had only known that Ye Lingyue was adept at Alchemy, little did he expect that she would also use poison.

”I didn’t use poison, I just tampered with the mounts of Hong Fang and the Fourth Prince.” Ye Lingyue smiled, spreading her hand, which only contained a few specks of dust-sized black dots.

If Jin Wu Old Monster hadn’t looked closely, he would never have noticed these little insects.

”These insects are a type of flea unique to the Xixia Plain, called the Diarrhoea Flea, which generally live on the bodies of beasts. If a human comes into contact with them, they would suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. No matter how much Hong Fang and the Fourth Prince investigated, they wouldn’t have thought to check their mounts. These insects have a characteristic; they can only live up to ten days. So I said, they just keep pulling, and they’ll get better, but it’s a pity, some people are always too smart for their own good.” Ye Lingyue said while clapping her hands.

Speaking of these Diarrhoea Fleas, she discovered them by chance.

While these creatures are not fatal, if used correctly, they’re enough to make someone half-dead for about ten days.

Ye Lingyue had just arrived in Dan City when Lan Cai’er suddenly started having bouts of vomiting and diarrhea, and the cause of illness could not be identified for several days.

It was only after Ye Lingyue recalled that the Poison Record of Jade Hand Poison Master listed some poisonous insects.

Jade Hand Poison Master had even specifically compiled a Thousand Poison List, which included various poisonous beasts and insects.

After checking it, she indeed found this type of poisonous insect, which then cured Lan Cai’er’s illness.

She never thought she could use these little bugs this time to teach Hong Fang and Xia Houhong a lesson.

Of course, these were non-lethal poisonous insects, and given Xia Houhong and Hong Fang’s cultivation and wariness, it was clearly impossible to kill them with poison, but teaching them a lesson was still feasible.

Listening to this, Jin Wu Old Monster shuddered uncontrollably, feeling that Ye Lingyue had too many cunning tricks up her sleeve.

He really wondered what kind of upbringing Cauldron Master Ye had, to always strike with fatal or severe consequences.

Jin Wu Old Monster couldn’t help but secretly feel fortunate that he had sided with her, otherwise, it would have been worse than death.

Now that Ye Lingyue had taught Hong Fang and Xia Houhong a lesson, she believed that the two would not stir for a while.

Moreover, Ye Lingyue had heard that recently, the area surrounding Qi City was not peaceful, with a large-scale disturbance among the Spiritual Beasts.

For Hong Fang and Xia Houhong, dealing with these agitated Spiritual Beasts alone was enough to keep them extremely busy.

Currently, Ye Lingyue was more concerned about the training status of the Combat Alchemists in the city.

”Old Monster, how well are you managing the task I assigned you?”

”Master, the training is almost done. The current strength of the one thousand Combat Alchemists is enough to handle medium-scale beast attacks,” Jin Wu Old Monster confidently reported.

”That’s good. In the next two days, get the defenses ready and await the arrival of our distinguished guests.” Ye Lingyue stood on the city tower of Moon City, looking out at the Xixia Plain where clouds were gathering; a fierce battle was about to begin.

The month-long agreement was about to be fulfilled.

Just as the sky began to brighten, in the southeast direction of Moon City, a young woman dressed in beast skins was gazing into the distance.

This young girl was the savage woman from the Ancient Forest who had a fateful encounter with Lan Cai’er on the official road; her name was Aguduo.

”Ah Hua, Houhou, the city of Dan is just ahead. Just you wait and see, I will definitely defeat that person called Ye Lingyue.” A sizable group of Spiritual Beasts marched majestically toward Moon City.

Coming upon the city that shone like the moonlight under the morning glow, Aguduo still found it somewhat unbelievable.

She had long heard that the people beyond the Ancient Forest were ingeniously skilled, yet she hadn’t expected that the city they built would be so stunningly beautiful.

The city ahead looked like the most beautiful moon that had ever appeared above the Ancient Forest.

”Ah Hua, Houhou, I’ve decided, once I defeat that person called Ye Lingyue, I will seize this city and bring all of you here to live in it. Then, even if those Poachers are formidable, they won’t be able to sneak attack and harm anyone,” Aguduo expressed with a longing look.

The Spiritual Beasts in the Ancient Forest often suffered from the hunts of Poachers, and although Aguduo was strong, sometimes she would encounter opponents stronger than herself, barely escaping death, and she was tired of constantly hiding.

This city in front of her met Aguduo’s requirements for protecting the Spiritual Beasts.

Aguduo’s eyes suddenly sparkled as she noticed a woman dressed in an Alchemist Robe walking out on the city tower.

”You must be Ye Lingyue.” Intuition told Aguduo that this woman was the one she was looking for.

The opponent looked very young, possibly even younger than her?

Is she really that Ye Lingyue from the Qing Province Elixir Ranking?

”I am indeed Ye Lingyue, the Cauldron Master of Moon City. May I ask why you, lady, have brought so many Spiritual Beasts to the foot of Moon City?” Ye Lingyue looked down at Aguduo from above,

Just as Lan Cai’er had described, this person named Aguduo, was indeed formidable.

Her cultivation must be at the Peak of the Great Primordial Dan Realm; no wonder Lan Cai’er was no match for her.

”I am here to challenge you. My name is Aguduo, the strongest Martial Artist in the Ancient Forest. I heard from those who came to the Ancient Forest to hunt that only by defeating the people on the Qing Province Elixir Ranking can one be considered a truly formidable warrior,” Aguduo provocatively stated.

”Oh, why do you want to become a formidable warrior?” Ye Lingyue could see that this Aguduo was a very straightforward person.

”Because I heard that only when you become a formidable warrior will others fear you and not dare to invade the Ancient Forest or harm the Spiritual Beasts,” explained Aguduo.

So, the opponent’s challenge was merely to protect the Spiritual Beasts of the Ancient Forest.

Ye Lingyue remembered that the Ancient Forest was an ancient forest that extended from Daxia to Beiqing, spanning hundreds of miles.

Both Daxia and Beiqing each accounted for parts of the Ancient Forest, with Daxia owning thirty percent and Beiqing seventy percent.

Since the forest was abundant in Spiritual Beasts, whose flesh, fur, and even spirit cores were excellent materials for Alchemy,

The Alchemist-rich Beiqing had large numbers of people entering the Ancient Forest annually to hunt its Spiritual Beasts.

”I like your city; it’s nice. If I win against you, you will give it to me,” seeing that Ye Lingyue did not immediately answer, Aguduo spoke up, stating her terms.

”Heh~ What if I win, will you also give me the entire Ancient Forest?” Ye Lingyue teased, finding this wild woman rather interesting.

”That won’t do, the Ancient Forest isn’t only mine to decide,” Aguduo quickly shook her head like a rattle drum.

”Then you should just go back. I do not accept your challenge; a fight with no benefits is tough and thankless, I won’t fight.” Ye Lingyue said and then turned to leave.
