When he heard Ling Chuxi’s question, Xiao Tianfan let out a long sigh. “Not long after I returned, grandfather became unconscious. We searched for famous doctors everywhere, but we couldn’t find a way to treat him. First Uncle even sent out word that if there was anyone that could cure grandfather, he would hand over the inner core of the Level-9 monster beast which has been passed down in the Xiao Family for generations, but it was still hopeless.”
“I heard that the horn of the Shocking Thunder Beast could bring the dead back to life, so I thought I would give it a try. I never expected the beast to be so strong. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have just lost the horn, I might have even lost my own life. Ah, maybe they are right. Even though I have reached the realm of Great Fulfilment, I’m still a good-for-nothing.” After he had finished speaking, Xiao Tianfan’s eyes were filled with hopelessness.
Ling Chuxi could not stand hearing Xiao Tianfan’s dejected tone. Xiao Tianfan’s circumstances were similar to hers, but the outcome for both of them were completely different. She had become famous with just one battle, but Xiao Tianfan had lost and could not be proud of his achievements. ‘Hold on,’ Ling Chuxi suddenly recalled something. ‘What did Xiao Tianfan just say? The inner core of the Level-9 monster beast?!’
“Wait, did you just mention the inner core of the Level-9 monster beast? There really is something like that in the world?” Ling Chuxi regained her senses, and her eyes were wide in shock.
In all the countries in the mainland, the inner core of a monster beast was a legendary existence. Rumour had it that powerful monster beasts were able to condense their own essence into an inner core. If it was refined into medical pills, it could cause one’s cultivation to be increased twice as much. However, chances of a monster beast condensing an inner core were pitifully small, and once it died, the inner core would rapidly vanish. The inner core could only be preserved by immediately retrieving it after killing the monster beast.
Hence, there were many who had heard about the inner core of the monster beast, but not many who had really seen it. If not for Xiao Tianfan mentioning it, Ling Chuxi might not even believe that such a thing really existed in this world.
“Yes, of course there is.” Xiao Tianfan solemnly nodded his head.
“I do know some medical skills as well. If you trust me, I can have a look at your Grandfather.” Ling Chuxi could not even walk straight now, her eyes filled with stars. ‘The inner core of the Level-9 monster beast? Even the Level-8 Shocking Thunder Beast was so valiant and terrifying, how powerful would the Level-9 monster beast have been? How precious would its inner core be?’ If she was not tempted, she was not Ling Chuxi. People said ‘don’t take small advantages, that’s not good’. But who was Ling Chuxi? She was someone who would always take a huge advantage and a small advantage! Something so valuable was right before her eyes; if she did not think of a way to get it, it would be such a waste that even the heavens would not tolerate her.
“Really?” Xiao Tianfan’s eyes shone as he asked her excitedly, but he sobered up almost instantly. Even if Ling Chuxi did know medical skills, at her age, how good would she be? Famous doctors from various countries couldn’t help, what technique was she using that she felt she could treat his grandfather? If she failed, he would lose even more respect in his family clan.
“Anyway, the people you hired have no other solution too, might as well treat a dead horse-” Ling Chuxi realized her mistake and immediately stopped, then said hurriedly, “I’m sure you have heard of the Ambergris Pill, that was what I gave to the Emperor.”
Xiao Tianfan knew, of course, that she was going to say that a dead horse can be treated like a live horse, but he did not mind. They were, in fact, looking for famous doctors everywhere. Even him going to retrieve the horn of the Shocking Thunder Beast – wasn’t that carrying the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live one? It was Ling Chuxi’s last sentence that interested him. If she could obtain that incomparable Ambergris Pill, perhaps there really was a way to treat his grandfather!
