Scar-face and the others screeched out in pain as they were thrown to the ground.
Especially Scar-face, who was already severely injured, felt like his bones were about to fall apart after that fall and almost cursed in pain.
But seeing how terrifying Snowy and Chen Fan were, how could they dare to say even a single dirty word?
Pan Xiangdong rushed over quickly, helping them up in a fluster.
By the time that group of people reacted, Chen Fan had already walked away with Snowy and Feicui.
“Holy shit, were we just beaten by a Slime? This is fucking ridiculous!”
“Shut up! Be glad it was just the Slime that attacked us; if that Ragdoll Cat had attacked, you might have been in pieces by now!”
“Isn’t Slime the lowest level magical creature? I saw on the Internet that Slimes have almost no attack power, so nobody wants to make them into a guardian beast… Why is his Slime so terrifying?”
“My god, I heard that when you’re at a low level, only people with exceptional talent can contract with multiple guardian beasts… Does your brother Xiangdong currently have two guardian beasts?”
“Let’s not talk about that right now, we need to quickly cut up the snake and fish meat into small pieces and cook them.”
Scar-face and the others came to their senses and hurriedly rushed to the forest clearing.
“This is so much meat… This must weigh at least thirty pounds?!”
“I looked it up online before, the higher the level of the beast meat, the more expensive it is. Level 3 monster meat costs at least 250 union coins per pound. This much meat is almost equal to the monthly salary of an ordinary person in East Sea City.”
“This guy may have a cold exterior but he has a warm heart… Though he didn’t pay us any attention, this meat is enough to feed our entire group for two days!”
“These magical creatures in Blue Star contain surging Star Power in their meat… The higher the level, the more Star Power is contained. Even people who can’t cultivate can absorb quite a bit of Star Power from eating it.”
“Yes, yes, if it’s eaten by a Guardian Beastmaster, a Star Martial Artist or a Guardian Beast, the Star Power absorbed would be even greater… It’s so… precious!”
“Well, all of this is because of Brother Xiangdong’s good reputation, otherwise, we wouldn’t even have a chance to taste the meat of a level 3 monster.”
…
East Sea City.
Liyuan Villa Area.
In a room inside a villa, a white-haired old man was carefully checking the injuries of the Goblin Xiaobu.
On the side, Fang Qingqing and a middle-aged man had somewhat anxious expressions on their faces.
“Sigh!”
The elder looked up and sighed, “You and Shen Hongxiu are competitors, but was it necessary to fight like this?”
“You guys didn’t need to fight so ruthlessly?”
“Your Cold Ice White Python froze the leg of her Gold Horn Unicorn, and her Gold Horn Unicorn severely injured your Goblin. How come young people nowadays are so hot-tempered?”
“Fortunately, Shen Hongxiu’s Gold Horn Unicorn isn’t strong enough. Otherwise, your Goblin might have been completely disabled!”
Lying on the bed, the Goblin jumped in fear, “Oh my god! I knew Shen Hongxiu wasn’t a good person! She wanted to disable me!”
Fang Qingqing said with a serious expression, “Grandfather Zhang, you are the Vice President of the Beast Trainer Association and a renowned Beast Raising Master. Isn’t there any way you could help Xiaobu?”
The middle-aged man beside her gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, “Don’t worry. Elder Zhang must have a solution. He comes from the strongest Beast Raising Family in Tang Country and holds a significant position in the entire Tang Country.”
Elder Zhang pondered for a moment and said, “Well, there is a solution, but it’s a bit troublesome.”
“If Xiaobu had been injured by the Gold Horn Unicorn’s ‘Swallowing Star Ray’ anywhere else, it would be relatively easy to heal.”
“But it hit the heart.”
“There are some medicines that can eliminate the ‘Swallowing Star Ray’, but using them improperly could worsen Xiaobu’s heart injury.”
As he spoke, Elder Zhang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back in the hall.
After a while, he said, “Only by obtaining an ‘Extreme Sky Cold Marrow’ and combining it with some other medicines can we ensure that Xiaobu’s heart will not have any problems while completely dispelling the energy of the ‘Swallowing Star Ray’.”
The middle-aged man exclaimed, “Extreme Sky Cold Marrow? Isn’t that something found deep within the West Mountain Secret Realm?”
“Five years ago, this item appeared on the black market and was frantically snatched up by several major families. But since then, it hasn’t been seen.”
“It is said that powerful explorer teams have ventured deep into the West Mountain Secret Realm to find Extreme Sky Cold Marrow, but they all suffered heavy casualties… Finding an Extreme Sky Cold Marrow now is harder than reaching the sky!”
Elder Zhang frowned and nodded, “That’s right.”
Xiaobu howled again, “Oh heavens, why is my life so miserable?”
Seeing Xiaobu’s pained expression, Fang Qingqing’s eyes reddened.
Suddenly…
Fang Qingqing remembered something.
She hesitated for a moment before looking at Elder Zhang and whispered, “Grandfather Zhang, someone once told me that eating more Sunflowers and such would help Xiaobu’s healing process…”
“Sunflower?” Elder Zhang was puzzled, “Just a Sunflower? It shouldn’t be possible to dispel the swallowing star energy with just a Sunflower, right?”
The middle-aged man’s face darkened, “Nonsense!”
“Elder Zhang is a top-class Beast Raising Master, and there are only a few people in the entire Tang Country who can be at the same level as him!”
“If even he says it’s difficult, who else in East Sea City dares to say they can heal Xiaobu?”
“I’ve been teaching you since you were a child that you’re too soft, too kind, and too easily believe in others’ words… Now you’re about to enter your senior year of high school, and you still take other people’s words as gospel?”
Fang Qingqing felt wronged and pouted, “I… I didn’t…”
Elder Zhang gently waved his hand and said, “Qingqing, what is the prescription? Tell me.”
Fang Qingqing nodded and recalled, “He said, let Xiaobu eat more Sunflowers, Flame Grass, Blood Lotus Essence, and Purple Orchid Leaves.”
“He said that these things would help Xiaobu heal.”
Her memory was extraordinary, and though Chen Fan had only mentioned it once, she remembered every word.
“Sunflowers? Flame Grass?”
Elder Zhang furrowed his brows, took out a piece of paper, and wrote down all the items Fang Qingqing mentioned.
These ingredients were all common, right?
And Sunflowers and Flame Grass, both fire attribute ingredients, were not suitable for a wood attribute Goblin, right?
Elder Zhang marked the attributes and effects of all the materials above.
After writing these down, Elder Zhang wrote a series of strange alchemy formulas on the paper.
Ten minutes later…
Elder Zhang stood up and slapped the table: “It’s hard to believe, but when these things are combined, they really have unexpected effects!”
“It’s unimaginable, simply unimaginable!”
Fang Qingqing was dumbfounded.
She just repeated Chen Fan’s words with a trace of luck in her heart.
However, deep in her heart, she didn’t hold out much hope.
After all, that person had an unknown origin and might be someone sent by Shen Hongxiu.
But from Grandfather Zhang’s words…
Was that guy telling the truth?
Could these things really help Xiaobu recover from his injuries?!
At the side, the middle-aged man also showed a shocked expression: “Elder Zhang, are you sure there’s no problem with this? Can these things cure Xiaobu’s injuries?”
Elder Zhang’s face was red with excitement: “No problem!”
“With these things, even if we don’t have the Extreme Sky Cold Marrow, I can help the Goblin dispel the energy of the Swallowing Star Ray!”
“It’s amazing…”
“Very common materials, combined together, have such incredible effects…”
Elder Zhang looked at Fang Qingqing intently: “Qingqing, since you know such an amazing person, why didn’t you introduce him to our ‘Beast Cultivator Association’?”
“How could I not know about such a genius in East Sea City?”
“Which family does he belong to? Tell me his contact information quickly. I can’t wait to meet him!”
Fang Qingqing’s face turned red: “I… I don’t know his name or contact information either.”
“Ah?” Elder Zhang was stunned.
Fang Qingqing said softly: “Two days ago, I was fishing by the Sinking Star River when I met him.”
“He came over, quarreled with Xiaobu, and then got infuriated by Xiaobu. He directly pointed out Xiaobu’s injury…”
“What!” Elder Zhang was taken aback: “You didn’t know this person, but he could tell Xiaobu’s injury at a glance?”
Fang Qingqing nodded: “I also felt it was incredible.”
“So Xiaobu and I thought he was sent by Shen Hongxiu to laugh at me and see how injured Xiaobu and Silver Moon are.”
“I was a little annoyed in my heart and couldn’t help but mock him a few times.”
“Later, I kindly reminded him not to go downstream of the Sinking Star River, but out of concern for his safety, I decided to follow him for a while, and then he told me this method.”
Elder Zhang: “…”
The middle-aged man suddenly changed his expression: “Two days ago… Two days ago was the time for the Guidance Plaza Mist Transfer!”
“Those who appeared on the bank of the Sinking Star River in Black Ant Forest were either ‘Safety Officers’ secretly protecting those young people or people who had just crossed over from outside!”
Elder Zhang’s eyes lit up: “Safety officer? That’s much simpler… Qingqing, what did that young man look like? What characteristics did he have?”
“I’ll make a call to check.”
Fang Qingqing’s face turned even redder: “He… He wasn’t wearing a Safety Officer badge, and at the time he told me he had just come from ‘outside’ and was taking a three-day and three-night exam.”
Elder Zhang and the middle-aged man said in unison: “That’s not possible!”
What a joke!
Right after coming from “outside,” almost everyone would be in a daze, right?
How much could they know about Blue Star and Guardian Beasts?
To put it bluntly, they might not even have seen a Goblin before, let alone helping a Guardian Beast heal its injuries.
That guy must have been lying!
The most likely explanation is that after injuring the Goblin, Shen Hongxiu felt guilty and sent someone to find Qingqing on purpose!
Only in this way can this matter be explained.
After all, the Gold Horn Unicorn is Shen Hongxiu’s Guardian Beast.
It’s not surprising that Shen Hongxiu knows how to treat the “Swallowing Star Ray” injury.
“Sigh…” Elder Zhang sighed quietly, feeling a little disappointed.
Just now, he really thought a Beast-breeding Genius had appeared in East Sea City!
If there really was such a genius, it would be a great blessing for East Sea City and Tang Country!
After a moment of silence, Elder Zhang said with a hint of reluctance: “I’ll ask Shen Hongxiu later, to see if she was helping you or if there’s a genius in the Shen Family?”
The middle-aged man looked strange: “Elder Zhang, the Shen Family is about the same as our Fang Family.”
“I don’t believe they could produce such a genius.”
“If they had such a genius, they would have long since surpassed us.”
“You guys…” Elder Zhang chuckled: “Qingqing, first tell me, what features does that person have?”
Fang Qingqing blinked and said: “He’s about my age, about 1.85 meters tall, thin, with an annoying smile on his face, and looks a bit like he deserves a beating…”
Elder Zhang and the middle-aged man: “…”
Fang Qingqing: “He had a Ragdoll Cat and a Slime. The Slime likes to jump on his head, making him look like he’s wearing a green hat.”
Elder Zhang and the middle-aged man: “…”
The Goblin on the bed couldn’t help it anymore: “Oh my god, you’ve already found a way to heal me, but Miss, you’re still talking about that guy wearing a green hat… Shouldn’t you save the dying Xiaobu first?”
