Fang Ling had no interest in listening to their pointless chatter; he was only here because he was intrigued by the Buddha Fruit.
He immediately stood up and left the hall, instructing the servant outside to take him to see Miss Bai.
Apart from the beautiful woman who arrived last, no one else paid attention to Fang Ling’s departure.
Following the Bai family servant, Fang Ling arrived outside Miss Bai’s boudoir.
“May I ask where you are from?” At the door, a well-dressed middle-aged man inquired.
This man appeared gentle and refined, but Fang Ling sensed a strong murderous aura from him.
He was definitely not as kind as he seemed on the surface; he was a ruthless individual seasoned in battles.
Moreover, his cultivation level was not low; he was one of the four Phecda Realm experts of the Bai family.
“Just a casual cultivator,” Fang Ling replied indifferently.
Bai Jiang was somewhat surprised because he couldn’t quite see through this young man before him.
However, the lack of any medicinal scent on Fang Ling made him hesitate.
“I see that you are not an experienced healer, so let me be frank,” he continued.
“The poison in my daughter is extremely potent. If your skills are not deep enough, you might…”
“Several doctors have already died from poisoning while treating her.”
Fang Ling said, “Since I dared to come, I naturally have some confidence.”
“But if I succeed, will your Bai family really part with the Buddha Fruit?”
Bai Jiang laughed heartily and said, “Our Bai family is the foremost family in Dragon City and one of the seven great cultivation families in the South Sun Kingdom.”
“Since we’ve made a public announcement, we won’t go back on our word. You can rest assured.”
“That’s good to hear,” Fang Ling nodded. “Then I’ll go in and detoxify your daughter now.”
“Please, go ahead!” Bai Jiang stepped aside and personally opened the door.
Fang Ling walked into the room, but Bai Jiang followed him in.
Whenever doctors treated his daughter, he would always stay by their side.
“You should leave,” Fang Ling stopped and turned to him.
Bai Jiang was taken aback at first, then gently shook his head. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, Young Master.”
“But I’m afraid that during the treatment, my daughter’s condition might suddenly worsen.”
“If I’m here, I can at least help stabilize her…”
“Are you sure you want to stay?” Fang Ling asked seriously, “This is very important.”
He would inevitably have to use the Heavenly Plague Cauldron lent to him by Fat Master for the detoxification.
Such a treasure must not be known to outsiders. If Bai Jiang insisted on staying, he would have to abandon the plan.
Seeing this, Bai Jiang pondered for a moment.
Then he silently turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.
…
“Big brother, who is this young man, so arrogant?”
“Judging by his demeanor, he seems confident in curing Ying’er.”
“And the way he speaks to you without any respect, he must either be bluffing or have a significant background.”
Suddenly, a person appeared outside the door; it was Bai Jiang’s younger brother, Bai Bo.
Bai Jiang looked at his brother and smiled bitterly. “I don’t know, but let’s give him a chance.”
“At least he’s different from those who came before.”
“I just had a brief chat with Doctor Dou; Ying’er’s condition is not optimistic…”
Bai Bo sighed, not knowing how to comfort his brother.
Although Bai Jiang had been successful and prominent all his life, he had only this one daughter.
Who would have thought that this only daughter would encounter such an accident?
Inside the boudoir, Fang Ling walked straight to Miss Bai’s bed and lifted the curtain.
Miss Bai appeared to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a serene and beautiful face.
But at this moment, she seemed to be having a nightmare, her brows furrowed tightly.
Her complexion was constantly changing, sometimes red, sometimes orange…
Fang Ling observed for a while and noted that there were seven colors in total, alternating without any pattern.
“Could it be the poison of the Seven-Colored Heavenly Butterfly?” He raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised.
“Impossible, didn’t Fat Master say that this poisonous insect had long been extinct in the outside world?”
He raised his hand, turned his palm, and summoned the Heavenly Plague Cauldron.
Then he immediately injected spiritual power into the cauldron, activating this supreme treasure.
The cauldron began to emit a green glow, floating above Miss Bai’s head.
It hovered in mid-air, rotating and releasing a magical force.
Moments later, a colorful cocoon emerged from Miss Bai’s body and was absorbed into the cauldron.
Fang Ling retrieved the cauldron, opened the lid, and looked inside.
He carefully examined the wriggling colorful cocoon, confirming its identity.
“It really is the Seven-Colored Heavenly Butterfly, but still in its cocoon stage.”
“It was using Miss Bai’s body as a host, preparing to metamorphose.”
“It seems that Miss Bai’s constitution is quite extraordinary,” he thought.
An adult Seven-Colored Heavenly Butterfly was one of the most potent poisons in the world.
Fat Master had described this poisonous insect in detail, saying its venom could easily kill an Alkaid Realm expert.
Even those who had transcended the Seven Realms of Martial Dao would struggle to resist it.
However, in its current cocoon state, it was still very weak.
Even after metamorphosis, it would need to go through several cycles of cultivation to reach full maturity.
“Refining you now would be a waste; I’ll keep you for now.”
“I’ll show you to Fat Master next time I return to the Frozen Mountain Temple; he’ll be overjoyed.”
He closed the cauldron lid and stored both the cocoon and the cauldron back into his body.
The Heavenly Plague Cauldron was not only useful for cultivating poison techniques but also the best vessel for nurturing insects.
The Seven-Colored Heavenly Butterfly cocoon would fare much better inside the cauldron than in Miss Bai’s body.
From Miss Bai’s condition, Fang Ling knew she wouldn’t last long, unable to support the cocoon’s metamorphosis.
Eventually, it would have to leave her body and find a new host.
“I came for a Buddha Fruit, but I got an unexpected bonus,” Fang Ling smiled.
The value of this cocoon was worth a thousand Buddha Fruits; it was a great fortune.
Returning to his senses, he looked at Miss Bai on the bed.
As the cocoon was extracted, it took the poison with it.
Her face no longer changed colors and had returned to normal.
However, having been parasitized for so long, her body was weakened, and her face was pale.
Outside, Bai Jiang was restless, more anxious than before.
Previously, he could stay by the doctors’ side, but now he could only wait outside.
“Big brother, I’ll go see Doctor Dou and the others.”
“Maybe they’ve come up with something,” Bai Bo, too anxious to wait, decided to check on them.
“Go ahead,” Bai Jiang waved his hand.
But just then, the door opened, and Fang Ling walked out calmly.
“How is she?” Bai Jiang hurriedly asked.
“The poison has been cleared, but her body is still weak,” Fang Ling replied.
“She needs good care for a while to fully recover.”
“Really?” Bai Jiang was overjoyed and rushed into the room to check.
“Good, good! Thank you, Young Master Fang, for saving her life!” Bai Jiang’s trembling voice soon echoed from inside.
Outside, Bai Bo looked at Fang Ling in astonishment, not expecting him to succeed.
