Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

"No wonder you’re the team leader; you can even taste that. To be honest, I got this meat by chance this morning. The guy was being secretive, and I couldn’t see his appearance clearly. I met him at the street corner in front, and since everyone who bought from him was full of praise, I got curious and bought some."

The man addressed as the vice-captain scratched his head.

He went out for some errands today and happened to see a shady-looking person selling demon beast meat.

Judging by appearances, the person wasn’t from Liu Guang Pavilion, and hearing it only cost twenty Merit Points for a portion, the man casually bought three portions.

He didn’t expect the quality of the demon beast meat to be much better than he thought.

After bringing it back, he sliced it thinly, the pink slices dipped in garlic and ginger truly tasted delicious.

The vice-captain regretted not buying more for himself.

Moreover, he didn’t even know the provider’s appearance or address.

"Next time, keep your Heart Eye open. If you meet this person again, bring him to see me. This person might be our opportunity to break free from being second place for ten thousand years."

A look of seriousness appeared on the team leader’s well-defined face.

On closer inspection, his features were orderly, not particularly handsome, but with high brows and a straight nose, a look that grows more appealing the more you see it.

"Wow, captain, aren’t you exaggerating? It’s just a few pieces of meat."

The vice-captain picked his teeth. Although he also found it incredible how demon beast meat could taste so good, how could it be so delicious?

"Count your luck; check your Dantian before you speak."

The captain gave an eye full of disdain. Upon hearing this, all team members quickly focused their energy, and upon doing so, they found that the Primordial Power within their Dantians had increased, and the turbid Evil Qi in their internal organs had significantly decreased.

The more meat one ate, the faster the Primordial Power recovered inside them.

Among them, the team leader ate the most, and he instantly noticed the changes within him.

"How could this be? Captain, are you saying it’s because of eating that meat? This stuff is comparable to Liu Guang Pavilion’s Soul-breaking Elixir."

Everyone was amazed, showing expressions of delight.

"What is a Soul-breaking Elixir? It can’t compare with these demon beast meats at all. If the Soul-breaking Elixir was truly effective, why would I prohibit the entire Tang City from using it?"

Speaking of the Soul-breaking Elixir, a sombre look surfaced in the captain’s eyes, with faint hints of anger.

It turned out this demon hunter team was Tang City’s representative from the second-ranked Qiyu City.

The one leading this team was the thick-browed youth, Tang Tiansong.

Qiyu City’s three major representative teams were Liu Guang, Tang City, and Zhan Yue.

Liu Guang and Zhan Yue had a good relationship due to ambiguous interactions between their team leaders.

But Tang City was entirely different. Tang Songtian from Tang City arrived in Qiyu City roughly half a year ago.

When he arrived, he only had three or four people under him. Initially, they suffered a lot of exclusion, but relying on his exceptional skills, he went from a low-level freelance demon hunter to forming a Ninth-Tier team, and rose through the ranks. Before the start of Nine Continents Wild Hunt, his Tang City team had already become a Sixth-tier team.

He also signed up to participate in the Nine Continents Wild Hunt during that time, but during his stay in Xuanwu City, he did not encounter Ye Lingyue or others, so he still doesn’t know them.

When Tang Tiansong reached Qiyu City, Liu Guang’s representative team had already established absolute dominance in the city.

In his first month in Qiyu City, Tang Tiansong also had to use Soul-breaking Elixir to resist Evil Qi infiltration.

But soon after using it, Tang Tiansong discovered problems with the Soul-breaking Elixir.

The elixir’s effect causes dependency, and upon realizing this, Tang Tiansong immediately cut off its use and nearly fell out with Dongfang Liuli over it.

Due to Liu Guang Pavilion’s immense influence, the problems with the Soul-breaking Elixir were eventually suppressed.

In a fit of rage, Tang Tiansong returned to the Tang City team, demanding that the entire team cease using the Soul-breaking Elixir, and if anyone dared to disobey, they’d be immediately expelled from the team.

Through Tang Tiansong’s efforts, the Tang City team became the only team in Qiyu City not reliant on the Soul-breaking Elixir.

But the consequences of that were severe.

Due to this, Tang City team members all had varying levels of Evil Qi invasion in their bodies, which they could only suppress with their own cultivation.

However, this couldn’t last long term; Tang Tiansong was striving to leave Qiyu City as soon as possible, while also seeking ways to rid of Evil Qi, though he hadn’t found a solution until now. He didn’t expect to find an opportunity in these demon beast meats.

Tang Tiansong urgently needs to find this mysterious person who provides these demon beast meats.

Intelligent as he is, Tang Tiansong already noticed that this type of demon beast meat can gradually improve bodies affected by Evil Qi pollution.

Unfortunately, the Tiger-faced Leopard meat the vice-captain brought back could only partially improve the body. If they could obtain higher quality demon beast meat, like that of the Leopard King, maybe it could completely transform bodies affected by Evil Qi.

But in the vast Qiyu City, finding a demon hunter when their appearance, name, and traits are all unknown is incredibly challenging.

Thus, Tang Tiansong had to mobilize the entire team to search throughout the city.

Meanwhile, since Ye Lingyue sold a hundred portions of demon beast meat that day, she hadn’t gone out to sell more only because Guangzi had already analyzed the exact components of the Soul-breaking Elixir.

"The Soul-breaking Elixir contains eleven types of herbs and three types of spiritual insects. All the other herbs are quite ordinary and strengthen the body. But there’s one herb, which is the thirteen-year-old Heart Execution Grass."

Speaking of the elixir composition, Guangzi shed his previous cheerful manner.

Having studied pharmacology in Futu Heaven for hundreds of years, he naturally knew more than Ye Lingyue.

"Ling Yue, the one you held that day was a thirteen-year-old Heart Execution Grass? But it’s strange, how could such a thing appear in a place like Ancient Nine Provinces?"

Guangzi realized he almost let something slip and hastily stopped.

"What’s the issue with thirteen-year-old Heart Execution Grass? This medicinal grass is only used for numbing and hemostatic purposes, right?"

Ye Lingyue saw Guangzi’s evasive words and knew he was hiding something again.

But from Guangzi’s tone, he seemed familiar with the thirteen-year-old Heart Execution Grass, maybe even older ones.

Ye Lingyue wasn’t interested in where Guangzi had seen it, rather she was curious about the potential side effects of this special Heart Execution Grass since the records in the Five Poison Treasure Record were limited.

"Excessive long-term use of a Soul-breaking Elixir made with a thirteen-year-old Heart Execution Grass can cause dependency; surely you’ve noticed this. Moreover, it can cause mutations in one’s bloodline and meridians, eventually leading to bodily transformation, even berserk-like changes, making people indistinguishable from demon beasts, without any control over their minds, subjected to enchantment. In this regard, it’s somewhat similar to an Elixir Puppet, but undoubtedly more brutal."
