Not long after Dou Qin left, Bai Jiang also arrived.
He had already given Bú Guǒ to Young Master Fang before, so this time he was here to show other intentions.
Young Master Fang was originally going to leave early, but hearing that he still had good things to offer, he stayed.
"Young Master Fang, please look!"
"I obtained this item by chance."
"Although I don't know its wonderful use, I can feel a powerful force contained within it."
"It's a pity that with the strength of my Bai family, we cannot utilize it at all."
"Rather than letting it rot in the mansion, it's better to offer it to Young Master Fang." Bai Jiang presented a piece of amber.
Amber, as it's known, is formed when resin drips and happens to sink underground.
It's a unique fossil formed through the precipitation of time.
The piece of amber before him was quite large; Young Master Fang had to hold it with both hands to keep a grip.
Amber is exquisite and translucent, with some pieces containing small insects or animal fragments.
What was contained within this large piece of amber, however, was a sword.
A sword only the length of a palm and the width of two fingers!
Young Master Fang tried to use his Divine Sense to analyze the sword within the amber, but it was blocked by the amber and could not enter.
One must know that with his current Realm, his Divine Soul was already quite strong.
It should be effortless to penetrate stone with his Divine Sense, but now...
"This stone is unusual; it can completely block my Divine Sense from probing."
"It seems to contain a large amount of Sword Qi, and this Sword Qi is extremely pure!"
"If I can refine the Sword Qi contained within this amber, it will definitely greatly increase my strength."
He had practiced the sword since childhood, so his perception of Sword Qi was very keen.
Bai Jiang saw Young Master Fang looking thoughtful and knew that he recognized its value.
Their Bai family had researched this stone extensively over the years, but unfortunately, they couldn't remove the outer barrier of the amber.
According to his estimation, to break through this layer of stone shell with external force, one would at least need the cultivation of the Tianquan Realm.
With the Bai family's foundation, they might never have the chance to open it.
"Patriarch Bai, where did you obtain this item?" Young Master Fang put it away first, then asked.
Bai Jiang: "About twenty years ago, it was found in the Lost Ancient Mine near Dragon City."
"The Lost Ancient Mine is an abandoned ancient mine, and occasionally people can pick up some ancient artifacts there."
"I imagine this stone also has some years on it."
"Wouldn't such a treasure be better kept as a family heirloom?" Young Master Fang smiled.
Bai Jiang shook his head: "The Old Ancestor said that this item is dangerous and not suitable for long-term storage in the home."
"Presumably, you also sensed the Sword Qi contained within."
"If one day the Sword Qi within suddenly erupts, my Bai family wouldn't be able to handle it."
"It's better to bring it out to thank Young Master Fang; my Young Miss's life-saving grace cannot be repaid by a mere Bú Guǒ and this stone."
In fact, his words were half-true, half-false.
Out of gratitude, Bú Guǒ alone would have been enough.
The reason he brought out this item was more to befriend Young Master Fang.
"Patriarch Bai, you are too polite." Young Master Fang smiled. "This matter is concluded, so I shall take my leave."
"Young Master Fang, why don't you stay in my mansion for a few more days?" Bai Jiang quickly said, "At least wait until my Young Miss wakes up and let her personally thank you."
"Although my Bai family is not a renowned clan, we understand basic etiquette."
"Her thanks are necessary."
"This... alright then! Anyway, I don't have much to do recently, and staying in your Bai mansion is no different from staying in an inn." Young Master Fang pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Young Master Fang!" Bai Jiang was overjoyed.
Then he asked, "Are you satisfied with this guest room? If you don't like it, I'll have the servants change your room."
"This place is fine, just leave it as it is!" Young Master Fang replied.
"Oh, right, my mount is still at the Fulin Inn. Please trouble the Bai family to send someone to bring it over for me."
"Alright, then what kind of mount is Young Master Fang's?" Bai Jiang asked.
"A Netherworld Beast," Young Master Fang replied. "There should only be one in the stable; it resembles a night leopard and has a pair of golden horns on its head. It's easy to recognize."
"Oh, oh, a Netherworld Beast..." Bai Jiang mumbled, then suddenly startled, "What? A Netherworld Beast?!"
"Yes, this fellow is quite good; it runs very fast," Young Master Fang said.
Bai Jiang's mouth twitched, and he quickly retreated: "That... I will personally bring it for you!"
With his cultivation and insight, he naturally knew what a Netherworld Beast was, which was why he was so shocked.
Before long, at Fulin Inn, in front of the stable.
Bai Jiang and Bai Bo, the two brothers, stared blankly at the Netherworld Beast lying in the shed.
"Big Brother, it really is the one from Tianduan Mountain."
"When the Old Ancestor fought it back then, it was at the Middle Stage of the Tianji Realm."
"So many years have passed, its cultivation should have reached the Late Stage of the Tianji Realm..."
Bai Bo said in a deep voice, secretly swallowing his saliva.
Bai Jiang: "The Old Ancestor injured it back then. Look at its neck, there's still a small mark there."
"Just who is this Young Master Fang? To be able to subdue it."
"He must be a descendant of a top family within the domain," Bai Bo murmured.
"Do you think it will suddenly attack us?" he asked again.
Bai Jiang chuckled awkwardly: "No way! This fellow also has sentience; just explain it clearly to it."
The two cautiously entered the stable, one in front and one behind, leading the creature to the Bai mansion.
Passersby who saw them were utterly stunned, thinking they were still dreaming.
The most powerful Patriarch of the Bai family in Dragon City and Second Master Bai were actually 'leading a horse' together.
.........
In the Bai family's guest room, Young Master Fang was about to refine the Bú Guǒ, but unfortunately, someone else came to visit.
This time, it was the arrogant gray-robed old man from the hall earlier, along with his defiant-looking Disciple.
After the gray-robed old man entered the room, he turned his face towards Young Master Fang and sat down on his own.
"This old man is Tian Quanzi. I have some reputation in the medical Dao of Nanyang Kingdom; people call me the 'Sacred Hand of Beishan'."
"Young man, how did you resolve the strange poison that Bai family Miss was afflicted with? Could you tell me a little?" Tian Quanzi asked.
Young Master Fang said indifferently: "Asking about someone's unique skill seems a bit out of line, doesn't it?"
"Kid, don't think you're great just because you could help Bai family Miss detoxify. This kind of thing often relies on luck," Tian Quanzi's Disciple said impatiently.
"My Master holds a revered position in Nanyang Kingdom. It's your honor that he asks you."
"Cough cough, Zisheng, don't be rude!" Tian Quanzi coughed lightly and said.
"It is indeed this old man's presumption. It's normal for a young man not to want his core skills known by this old man."
"I mainly came to discuss something with you. Presumably, Patriarch Bai has already handed that Bú Guǒ to you, right?"
"I want to make a trade with you and buy this Bú Guǒ."
Young Master Fang: "It's not impossible, but what treasure do you have that can be exchanged for my Bú Guǒ?"
"Hmm... this is a medical scripture written by this old man, which can be said to be priceless." Tian Quanzi pulled out a book from his Pregnant.
Young Master Fang watched him silently, not speaking.
Tian Quanzi's old face became a bit awkward, and he forced a smile, then said, "Then I'll add one hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"
"One hundred thousand Spirit Stones plus the medical scripture painstakingly written by this old man should be a fair exchange."
Young Master Fang scoffed and asked, "Are you sure you're not joking with me?"
Tian Quanzi's Disciple heard this, flew into a rage, and pointed at Young Master Fang: "Kid, what are you saying!"
"My Master is sincerely making a trade with you, don't be ungrateful!"
"Do you know how influential my Master is in Nanyang Kingdom? Usually, many people are scrambling to give him things, and he doesn't even want them!"
Seeing that Young Master Fang was not falling for it, Tian Quanzi stopped pretending and said with a grim face, "This old man has some connections with the Sect Leaders of various major forces. If you can grant this old man's wish, this old man will remember your favor."
"Got it!" Young Master Fang said in a calm tone, then instantly twisted off his head.
Tian Quanzi's neck spurted like a fountain, leaving Zisheng, who was beside him, dumbfounded and letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Mercy! Please spare my life, sir!" He quickly knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.
But what he got in return was Young Master Fang's heavy stomp, crushing his head...
Young Master Fang did not waste it and immediately used the bodies of the Master and Disciple to Cultivate his divine art.
