89: Chapter 89 Treatment
Without wondering how Xiao Yan knew that the Jiama Royal Family's guardian beast was a Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast and that it was currently injured, Jia Xingtian simply nodded in a hurry, as if fearing Xiao Yan might go back on his word.
In fact, this matter could be known by just asking Fa Ma. Since Xiao Yan came to trade for the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it was not unusual for him to know the royal family's needs.
"Lord Xiao Yan, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast is in the back mountain of the Imperial City. Please follow me now." Jia Xingtian put the several bottles of Medicinal Pills he had received into his storage ring and led Xiao Yan's group toward the back mountain with a smile.
Passing through the Imperial City and entering the vast back mountain, the group finally stopped by a massive lake on the mountain peak.
Jia Xingtian turned and cupped his hands to Xiao Yan, saying respectfully, "The Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast is within the lake. I'll have to trouble Lord Xiao Yan with the matter of its treatment."
Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the lake. He could sense a Dou Huang-level Demonic Beast deep beneath the water, though its current state was clearly not good.
"Eh, there's actually a big snake in this lake, and its strength seems pretty decent," Zi Yan piped up from the side, standing before the lake.
Hearing Zi Yan speak, Jia Xingtian looked in surprise at the porcelain-doll-like girl. Across such a deep lake, it was usually difficult enough just to sense an Aura, let alone for this girl to directly know the hidden form within the lake.
However, while surprised, Jia Xingtian also felt it was only natural. As a Ban Sheng powerhouse, the people following Xiao Yan certainly wouldn't be ordinary.
Qing Lin and Xun'er weren't surprised. They knew Zi Yan's true form was also a Demonic Beast, and a high-ranking one at that. Sensing the beast hidden in the lake was nothing strange.
"Call that Demonic Beast out," Xiao Yan said.
Hearing this, Jia Xingtian nodded hurriedly. Then, with a flash of his body, he reached the center of the lake. Standing on the water's surface, he slowly dipped his hands in, and powerful Dou Qi surged into the lake...
As the Dou Qi entered, countless bubbles immediately rose to the surface. Along with the boiling of the lake, a powerful Aura quickly surged up from the bottom.
Bang!
A massive water column suddenly shot out from the lake, turning into a spray that rained down.
A low beastly roar echoed as a massive Demonic Beast emerged from the lake bed. Its enormous body occupied half of the entire lake.
This snake-like Demonic Beast, several dozen meters long, had its winding, giant body covered in deep blue scales that reflected a chilling light under the sun.
On its body were many hideous scars left from battles, making it look even more ferocious.
On its massive head was a blue spiraled horn. Its giant snake pupils stared at the crowd, looking quite terrifying.
Feeling the humidity in the air, Xiao Yan nodded and said, "As expected of the Jiama Royal Family's guardian beast, it indeed possesses quite the presence."
"Old Jia, why have you awakened me again? You should know that in my current state, I can't be of much help..." A voice like thunder boomed over the lake.
The giant beast ignored Xiao Yan's comment and spoke to Jia Xingtian in a dissatisfied tone. Jia Xingtian looked up at the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast and smiled, saying, "I'm not here to disturb you, old fellow. Look what I've brought for you."
With a wave of his hand, the "hunyuan bone-sculpting pill" broke out of its jade bottle and floated before the giant beast, shimmering with a faint light.
As soon as the hunyuan bone-sculpting pill appeared, a thick medicinal fragrance enveloped the lake. Smelling it, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's voice betrayed an irrepressible ecstasy: "hunyuan bone-sculpting pill? You finally got it?"
Jia Xingtian nodded with a smile and said to Xiao Yan, "Lord Xiao Yan, I'll leave the rest to you."
At those words, Xiao Yan's figure flickered and vanished. When everyone looked toward the giant beast, they found that Xiao Yan was already standing before it.
"A Dou Zong? Who are you?" Its giant pupils stared at the tiny figure that had suddenly appeared. The Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast felt a sudden pang of dread, its scalp tingling as if the person before it could take its life at any moment.
"Old fellow, don't panic. Lord Xiao Yan is the Alchemist who refined this Medicinal Pill. However, to fully unleash its medicinal properties, Lord Xiao Yan needs to act personally. It will require some techniques later, so just bear with it for a bit," Jia Xingtian laughed.
Hearing Jia Xingtian, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast gradually relaxed. It looked at Xiao Yan curiously. Had he become a Dou Zong at such a young age? Or did he look young because he broke through to Dou Zong?
Regardless, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast knew that this young-looking Dou Zong was not someone it could provoke. Furthermore, he was an Alchemist. It wondered what price the royal family had paid to invite such a person.
"Are you ready? It's starting." Xiao Yan beckoned the pill, and the hunyuan bone-sculpting pill landed in his palm.
"Thank you, Lord," the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast said submissively, lowering its head.
"Bear with it, it will be a bit painful at first..."
A wisp of green flame appeared in Xiao Yan's hand, enveloping the hunyuan bone-sculpting pill. Under his control, it moved above the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's head.
Under the intense heat, the pill emitted a thick green radiance, enveloping the giant beast below like a curtain of water.
Once enveloped, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's body suddenly twisted in apparent pain, causing waves to surge across the lake.
A few minutes later, the roaring stopped. Jia Xingtian looked at the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast in pleasant surprise; all the scars on its body had completely healed!
Feeling the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast's Aura gradually strengthening, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but smile. The beast had fought many battles for the royal family in its early years and sustained many injuries; now, it had finally recovered.
"Thank you, Lord Xiao Yan. The Jiama Royal Family will always remember this kindness!" Jia Xingtian said to Xiao Yan as the latter finished the treatment and slowly descended to the ground.
"Haha, it's just a trade... By the way, I've brought Queen Medusa. Who among you will handle the handover of the Magical Beast Mountain Range with her?" Xiao Yan waved his hand, clearly indifferent to the Jiama Royal Family's gratitude.
"Queen Medusa?" Jia Xingtian looked at the women by the lake and then at Xiao Yan, looking confused.
Xiao Yan raised his arm, and a small seven-colored snake slowly slithered out, floating around his arm.
"Xiao Cai, call Medusa out. I'll give you something delicious later," Xiao Yan said with a smile, looking at the cute little snake before him.
Hearing the promise, the little snake looked at Xiao Yan with its pale purple pupils and nodded its head in a very human-like manner.
