Chapter 136 A Child of Golden Luck Descends, The Medical Saint's Attempt to Extort Money Instantly Turns into Trash.

The backyard of the City Lord's Mansion in Qingyun City was currently heavily guarded and surrounded by spiritual energy.

Ever since Su Yaoer voluntarily surrendered to the Great Xuan, Emperor Cao Xukun had handed over all the medicinal resources of Wanyao Valley to her care. As the only daughter of the Wanyao Valley master, she not only held the title of the number one beauty in the Southern Region, but also possessed the rare Golden Luck of the medicinal path. Her medical skills were masterful; in just over a month, she had organized the Imperial Medical Academy of the Great Xuan in perfect order, saving countless soldiers and commoners injured in the war.

At this moment, the area outside the delivery room was brightly lit. Emperor Cao Xukun stood with his hands behind his back, his black dragon robe fluttering gently in the night breeze. The four empresses accompanied him, their faces full of concern. General Black Tiger led three hundred elite Xuan Armor Army soldiers, sealing off the entire backyard so tightly that not even a fly could get in.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Lady Su is blessed with great fortune and will certainly have a smooth delivery," Empress Bing Yao comforted him softly.

Emperor Cao Xukun nodded, his gaze fixed on the tightly closed door of the delivery room. He could clearly feel a pure and immense Golden Luck gathering inside, growing thicker and thicker, with a faint momentum of reaching for the heavens. This luck was stronger than all his previous descendants combined; clearly, it was brought by the soon-to-be-born Cao Yao.

"Damn it, if those remnants of the Qingyun Dynasty dare to come and cause trouble at a time like this, I'll twist their heads off and use them as chamber pots!" General Black Tiger gripped his broadsword and said viciously. Ever since the Wanyao Conference ended, many remnants of the Qingyun Dynasty who refused to accept defeat had been hiding in the shadows, restless and always looking for a chance to strike back.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sky suddenly darkened. The bright moonlight was obscured by billowing black clouds, and an eerie, sinister aura enveloped the entire City Lord's Mansion. Countless black medicinal insects swarmed in from all directions, making a buzzing sound; wherever they passed, the vegetation withered instantly.

"They're here!" General Black Tiger's eyes sharpened, and he immediately ordered, "All troops, be on guard! Protect His Majesty and Lady Su!"

Three hundred Xuan Armor Army soldiers immediately formed a formation, their long spears pointing straight at the sky, filled with murderous intent.

Just then, a sharp, ear-piercing laugh came from the black clouds. A man wearing black medical robes and a skull mask slowly descended, stepping on countless black medicinal insects. He was surrounded by thick death energy, holding a bone medical staff, and acting so pretentious he was practically emitting black smoke.

"Hahaha! Emperor Cao Xukun! Your death date has arrived!" The man pointed at Emperor Cao Xukun and roared fiercely, "I am the Eternal Medical Saint, the hidden Son of Destiny of the Qingyun Dynasty, the Ghost Medical Saint! I lurked in Wanyao Valley for three hundred years just to wait for this day!"

"The child in Su Yaoer's womb possesses the Golden Luck of the medicinal path and is a natural Sacred Body of the medicinal path! As long as I seize his luck and devour his soul, I can break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and become the number one medical supreme in the Immortal World! By then, the entire Southern Region will be mine!"

He waved his bone medical staff triumphantly, his tone arrogant to the extreme: "Emperor Cao Xukun, I advise you not to resist! Hand over the child obediently, and I might spare your entire clan! If you dare to say half a word of refusal, I will release the Ten Thousand Insects and turn all the commoners in Qingyun City into pus!"

"I!" General Black Tiger was so angry he cursed, "You rat hiding your head and showing your tail, how dare you spout such nonsense here! Watch me split you in two with one slash!"

Saying this, he grabbed his broadsword and prepared to charge.

"Stop." Emperor Cao Xukun raised a hand to stop him, his eyes cold as he looked at the Ghost Medical Saint, his tone flat but carrying a bone-chilling coldness, "I'll give you three seconds to get lost. Otherwise, I won't even leave your soul intact."

"Presumptuous! How dare you insult me!" The Ghost Medical Saint was furious, "I am a Medical Saint, capable of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh and bones, controlling the life and death of thousands! How dare a martial brute who only knows how to kill act so arrogantly in front of me!"

"Today, I will let you witness true medical divine power! Ten Thousand Insects Devour the Heart!"

He waved his bone medical staff violently, and countless black medicinal insects surged over like a tide, carrying deadly poison, pouncing viciously toward the delivery room and Emperor Cao Xukun. These medicinal insects were his natal Gu, refined with three hundred years of effort, capable of instantly devouring even a late-stage Golden Immortal.

"Trifling tricks."

Emperor Cao Xukun spat out these two words indifferently and waved his hand casually. A gentle green medicinal spiritual energy surged from his body, forming a huge barrier. All the medicinal insects collided with the barrier and instantly turned into fly ash, leaving not a trace behind.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" The Ghost Medical Saint's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "My Ten Thousand Insects Devour the Heart! How could it be broken by you so easily!"

"With just these petty tricks of yours, you dare to call yourself a Medical Saint?" Emperor Cao Xukun sneered, walking slowly to him, "I have studied the medicinal path for three days, and it is stronger than your three hundred years of bitter cultivation."

He extended a finger and tapped lightly. A golden spiritual energy broke through the air, instantly piercing the Ghost Medical Saint's dantian. The natal Gu inside the Ghost Medical Saint instantly went berserk, crazily devouring his internal organs.

"Ah—!" The Ghost Medical Saint let out a shrill scream, falling to the ground and rolling, "My natal Gu! My cultivation! Emperor Cao Xukun, I'll fight you to the death!"

He struggled to detonate the poisonous gas in his body to perish together with Emperor Cao Xukun. But as soon as he moved, he was frozen in place by a casual bit of spiritual energy from Emperor Cao Xukun.

"Want to die? It's not that easy." Emperor Cao Xukun said indifferently, "Black Tiger, drag him down, throw him into the Cave of Ten Thousand Insects, and let him taste the feeling of being devoured by the insects he raised."

"As you command!" General Black Tiger immediately stepped forward, picked up the Ghost Medical Saint like a chicken, and dragged him away.

After resolving this clown, a loud cry of a baby suddenly came from the delivery room.

"Waa—!"

The cry was clear and powerful, instantly penetrating the entire City Lord's Mansion.

In an instant, the heavens and earth changed!

A brilliant golden beam of light shot up from the delivery room, piercing the clouds and illuminating the night sky of the entire Qingyun City. A rich medicinal fragrance swept across the Southern Region, spirit herbs and immortal medicines bloomed across the mountains and plains, and countless colorful immortal cranes and spirit deer rushed from all directions, gathering above the City Lord's Mansion, emitting pleasant cries.

The shennong cauldron floating in Emperor Cao Xukun's dantian suddenly flew out automatically, hovering above the delivery room, emitting a rich aura of life. The ancient medicinal patterns on the cauldron lit up, turning into countless golden runes that surged into the delivery room.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host! Joyfully obtaining the tenth child!]

[Detected that the descendant possesses top-tier Golden Luck of the medicinal path, a natural Sacred Body of the medicinal path!]

[Naming: Cao Yao!]

[Descendant luck feedback starting!]

As the system prompt fell, a vast and majestic Golden Luck poured continuously from the delivery room into Emperor Cao Xukun's body. The originally stable bottleneck of the mid-stage Golden Immortal shattered instantly like paper!

"Boom—!"

Ten thousand rays of golden light erupted from Emperor Cao Xukun's body, and the terrifying pressure of the late-stage Golden Immortal swept across the entire Southern Region. The sounds of the Dao resonated between heaven and earth, countless medicinal path laws circulated around him, and an endless aura of life enveloped the entire Qingyun City.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host! Successfully broke through to the late-stage Golden Immortal!]

[Obtained exclusive divine power: Bring the Dead Back to Life!]

[Divine Power Effect: Can reverse life and death, revive living beings who have been dead for no more than three hours, repair all injuries, and reshape the soul! Can be used three times a day!]

As the system prompt fell, Emperor Cao Xukun slowly opened his eyes. A green light shot out from his eyes; wherever it passed, all withered vegetation instantly revived, and the wounds on the injured soldiers automatically healed.

Just then, the door of the delivery room opened. The midwife walked out holding a baby in swaddling clothes, her face full of excitement: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! It's a little prince! He looks chubby and is extremely cute!"

Emperor Cao Xukun stepped forward and carefully took the baby. The little guy opened a pair of clear and bright eyes, looking at him curiously, grabbed his finger with a small hand, and giggled. A warm feeling came from his fingertips, making Emperor Cao Xukun's cold eyes instantly soften.

The four empresses also surrounded them, looking at the cute little prince, their faces full of joy.

"He looks just like Your Majesty!"

"Look at his eyes, exactly the same as Lady Su's!"

"He will definitely be a powerful little Medicine God in the future!"

Su Yaoer lay on the bed, her face a bit pale, but her eyes were full of happiness. Emperor Cao Xukun walked to the bedside, held her hand, and said softly: "You've worked hard."

Su Yaoer shook her head and smiled gently: "It's not hard. Being able to give birth to a child for Your Majesty is my blessing."

Just then, a soldier hurried in, his face anxious as he said: "Your Majesty! It's bad! A patrolling soldier was just bitten by the residual poisonous Gu of the Ghost Medical Saint and has already stopped breathing!"

Everyone's expression changed. The Ghost Medical Saint's poisonous Gu was extremely overbearing; once bitten, one would instantly die from poison, and there was no cure.

"Take me to see." Emperor Cao Xukun said in a deep voice, holding Cao Yao.

Everyone followed the soldier to the front yard, only to see a young soldier lying on the ground, his face black, no longer breathing. The surrounding soldiers were full of sorrow; this soldier was only sixteen years old and was laughing and talking with them yesterday.

"Your Majesty, there is no saving him." The military doctor sighed and shook his head, "The poisonous Gu has already invaded his heart; even the gods cannot save him."

Emperor Cao Xukun didn't speak, holding Cao Yao, and walked slowly to the soldier's side. He extended his right hand and placed it gently on the soldier's chest. A gentle green spiritual energy surged from his palm and was slowly injected into the soldier's body.

A miraculous scene happened!

The blackness on the soldier's face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his heart, which had stopped beating, began to beat again. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at the people around him in confusion: "I... I didn't die?"

The whole scene was instantly dead silent; one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone widened their eyes, faces full of disbelief.

A dead person had actually been brought back to life!

This was simply a miracle!

"My mother! Your Majesty can actually bring the dead back to life!" General Black Tiger screamed, jumping in place with excitement, "That's too awesome! This is simply a divine method!"

"Long live Emperor Xuan! Long live Great Xuan!"

The surrounding soldiers and commoners knelt on the ground one after another, cheering loudly, the sound resounding through the clouds.

Emperor Cao Xukun looked at the cheering crowd, holding Cao Yao in his arms, his eyes deep.

He knew that from this moment on, the rule of the Great Xuan Dynasty in the Southern Region would be completely as stable as Mount Tai.

And that so-called Medicine God of Destiny, as well as the lingering Qingyun Dynasty, would all completely turn into the dust of history in the near future.
