The Martial Nephew Also Has A Story!

Quarantine is definitely necessary.

But True Person Guiyan is an old stubborn man.

Xiao Ran felt that if he directly took away the thousands or tens of thousands of Spirit Beast suspected of being infected in the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley, the old woman might fight him to the death.

So he left the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley empty-handed and went to the White Jade Bone Tower to find the True Person Guiyan.

Seeing that Xiao Ran came out empty-handed and that there was no record of him on the Beast Hunting Jade Slip, True Person Guiyan was very surprised.

"Is there no Spirit Beast in the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Valley that meets your standards, Senior Brother?"

Ha, women, on one hand they're afraid I'll do too much, on the other hand they blame me for not doing enough.

Xiao Ran sneered inwardly.

"It's not a plague, it's Wraith Poison. The Ten Thousand Beasts Valley is quickly becoming a den of poison."

"Wraith Poison? How is that possible!"

True Person Guiyan was suddenly shocked.

"Since its construction, the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley has never experienced any Wraith events!"

Xiao Ran kept a straight face, his tone devoid of any mockery.

"If left unchecked, the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Valley will become immune immediately. You must report this to the sect right away. I need to go back and discuss a solution with my Senior Uncle."

True Person Guiyan ashen. Although she didn't understand what herd immunity meant, Xiao Ran's instruction for her to report to the sect indicated that the situation was serious.

"I'll send Zhehui to the Main Peak right away."

Of course, Xiao Ran could come up with a treatment plan for the Wraith Poison on his own. He just wanted to discuss it with his Senior Uncle, but he wanted to make things bigger and more realistic.

Half an hour later, True Person Yinyue and Xiao Ran came to Ten Thousand Beasts Valley for an on-site investigation.

Upon entering the valley, True Person Yinyue confirmed Xiao Ran's assessment... it was indeed the Wraith Poison!

Moreover, unlike ordinary Wraith Poison, it is not very toxic or contagious, but it is highly insidious and extremely difficult to detect. If Xiao Ran had not personally intervened, it would have been easily mistaken for an ordinary plague.

Xiao Ran felt that this was likely an immature experimental model.

If this Wraith Poison were to become more contagious, and even infect humans, it could directly bring about the end of the Cultivation World.

"How come you only informed me now about something this big?"

True Person Yinyue rebuked.

This was the first time Xiao Ran had ever seen his Senior Uncle so stern.

True Person Guiyan was so frightened that his face turned green.

"I initially thought it was just a common plague, after all, there had never been Wraith events in the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley... Martial Aunt Yinyue, is there any hope for the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley?"

True Person Yinyue nodded.

"Removing the Wraith Poison is not difficult, but the Wraith Poison may contain several very rare ingredients that cannot be prepared in a short time. We must isolate the infected Spirit Beast."

How do we distinguish infected Spirit Beast?

"I'll take a sick sheep back to Hundred Herbs Peak first, and study it with my junior brother to see if we can refine a potion that can test for this kind of Wraith Poison."

Junior Brother Xiao also has talent in pharmacology? That he can inspire True Person Yinyue to humbly study with him? True Person Guiyan dared not say anything.

That night.

Xiao Ran and his Senior Uncle spent the whole night in the Pill Chamber studying and repeatedly deliberating on the dosage and ratio of the medicinal liquid. In the end, they developed a poison test drug with an accuracy rate of over 90%.

After a night of hard work, ten jars of medicine were finally prepared.

Yinyue wiped away her sweat, straightened her clothes, and although she was exhausted, her complexion was as rosy as a young girl's.

It feels like it's been ages since I've had such a satisfying alchemy session. I've lived for ten thousand years in vain, and my soulmate is just a junior.

Xiao Ran was still not satisfied, so he added ten times the amount of dregs to the ten jars of medicine, turning them into a hundred jars of medicine.

Only then did my Senior Uncle add the seal to seal it.

True Person Yinyue was puzzled, but he always felt that Xiao Ran seemed to have some deeper meaning.

What does this mean?

Xiao Ran explained without changing his expression:

"Increase sensitivity, decrease accuracy, and capture more suspected Spirit Beast for isolation to prevent any from slipping through the net."

True Person Yinyue frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"You're willing to sacrifice a large number of healthy Spirit Beast to ensure the isolation of all poisoned spirit Spirit Beast. Are you being so cautious because you suspect that this Wraith Poison might mutate?"

Uh... that's not what I meant, but your wild speculations have somehow led you to the truth.

"In my hometown, this is called a viral mutation."

The dignified and gentle face of the True Person Yinyue suddenly revealed a curiosity and longing like that of a young girl.

"If there's a chance, could you take my Senior Uncle to visit your hometown? The alchemy skills there must be very advanced."

"No matter how skilled you are in alchemy, you can't cure the disease and the lack of democracy. You can save one person by studying medicine, but you can't save the world. If a person is determined to die, even a god can't save them."

True Person Yinyue nodded, seemingly lost in thought, as if he had gained some insight.

"I never imagined that my junior apprentice would have such a story at such a young age..."

The next day.

Xiao Ran arrived at Hundred Herbs Valley carrying one hundred jars of testing medicine personally sealed by True Person Yinyue.

True Person Guiyan personally unsealed a hundred jars of medicine, flew his sword over the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley and sprinkled the medicine, then cast a spell to allow the medicinal power to penetrate into the body of every Spirit Beast.

Two hours later.

The returning wild goose was dumbfounded.

More than one percent of the Spirit Beast in the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Valley have been diagnosed with COVID-19, and the number of suspected cases is as high as one-third!

Xiao Ran's face was grim.

"See, now you know how serious this is!"

True Person Guiyan's voice trembled slightly. She couldn't imagine what kind of hell the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley would have become if Xiao Ran hadn't come.

But this quantity...

Her voice trembled slightly.

"Are there really so many poisoned Spirit Beast? Could there be a misdiagnosis among them?"

Xiao Ran suddenly became serious.

"Nonsense! Of course there are misdiagnoses, and quite a few at that, but misdiagnosis is to ensure that no confirmed poisoned Spirit Beast is missed. I'll keep the suspected cases; do you dare to take them?"

True Person Guiyan waved goodbye with a heavy heart.

"Junior brother, you should take him with you."

Only then Xiao Ran openly and legitimately take away more than ten thousand Spirit Beast.

The System Space can really hold a lot!

Within just two hours of Xiao Ran leaving, the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley was restored to its vibrant state.

Although True Person Guiyan's heart was bleeding, the gloom on his face vanished.

Soon, Luo Sheng from the Discipline Hall arrived with two Law Enforcer to investigate the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley.

Having confirmed that the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley had been restored to its former glory, Xiao Ran was credited with a contribution and awarded 10,000 Spirit Stone as a reward. The authorities also continued to monitor the progress of the Wraith Poison matter.

Xiao Ran: I've done something good again?

Upon returning and conducting in-depth research, it was discovered that this Wraith Poison was not highly toxic, but extremely difficult to remove, and indeed required some high-grade and rare medicinal materials.

Xiao Ran spent a lot of effort and finally found the person diagnosed with the Wraith Poison.

I left a few confirmed Black Mountain Goat for my Senior Uncle to study, and kept the other three hundred-plus confirmed Spirit Beast alive and fresh in the System Space, waiting for my Senior Uncle to refine the antidote.

The other 10,000-plus "suspected cases" that were confirmed to be healthy were not returned to the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley; Xiao Ran euthanized them all.

He swallowed the beast core completely, which transformed into Spiritual Energy and seeped into his Qi Sea.

Most of the meat and fur were taken to East Floating City and sold.

Although the unit price was not high, the quantity was huge, and it sold for 10,000 Spirit Stone.

In addition, Xiao Ran also sold several thousand catties of high-grade Valley Wheat he had secretly looted from Baili Qingfeng's secret storehouse for more than ten thousand Spirit Stone.

In this way, Xiao Ran would have 30,000 Spirit Stone.

The Master was unaware of this money; he planned to save it for a critical moment.

The remaining meat was used for various purposes: some was grilled and served with drinks, some was used in hot pot, and some was processed and dried into jerky for preservation.

In addition, some high-grade Valley Wheat were reserved, some of which were used to brew high-quality rice wine and Malt Wine, and some were made into cookies and cakes.

As a result, for the next few days, the Sword-Wielding Mountain was filled with various fragrances.

Xiao Ran's pastries, in particular, are a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate; they are truly works of art.

For example, the layered cake has a crispy outer layer and a soft, smooth inner layer. It is made with meticulous care, has many even layers, a soft and sandy filling, and a rich and pure fruit flavor.

For example, mousse cake has a cool, refreshing cream that lingers on the tongue and teeth, a sweet and pleasant taste, and a soft and smooth cake base with a subtle cheese flavor.

For example, the Fresh Fruit Milk Beans feature rich and smooth cream, paired with various fruit fillings, resulting in a colorful, flavorful, and captivatingly fragrant fruit aroma.

At first, when Xiao Ran presented his Master with various desserts, Lingzhou Yue was unimpressed.

"I hate sweets the most. They're all so fancy and complicated. They don't have the same power as fine wine."

Until Xiao Ran forcefully stuffed an orange milk candy into her mouth.

Lingzhou Yue's eyes widened for a moment, and she was about to lash out when suddenly her body went limp.

"Um..."

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 1 Filial Piety Points!]

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 1 Filial Piety Points!]

[Congratulations...]

Although Lingzhou Yue and Chuyan have very different personalities, they are both obsessed with all kinds of cakes and desserts, and have gained more than ten pounds in just a few days.

Ah, women!

That's good, Xiao Ran can now monopolize the barbecue and hot pot dishes made from beast meat with higher spiritual nourishment value.

The Chunwa and Qiuchan next door, smelling the aroma from afar, were already drooling with envy, but were locked in the Pill Chamber by True Person Yinyue to help her test the antidote.

Only after Xiao Ran personally delivered some desserts did the two girls feel at ease to continue working.

Seeing that his Senior Uncle had been working too hard these past few days because of the Wraith Poison, Xiao Ran took out a box of pastries.

"Would you like some, Senior Uncle?"

True Person Yinyue immediately noticed that these pastries weren't very good for maintaining a good figure, and shook her head to refuse Xiao Ran's offer.

"My Senior Uncle is old and no longer has such worldly desires."

"This is Lotus Seed Osmanthus Cake I made for my Senior Uncle. It's good for beauty and health."

"Real?"

Xiao Ran nodded.

"Fake."

True Person Yinyue smiled knowingly, even though she knew the beauty and skincare claims were fake, she still took a bite of the pastry that Xiao Ran had made.

A slight blush appeared on his face...

Then I ate another piece.

I gritted my teeth and ate another piece.

Only after taking three pieces did he stabilize his Dao Heart!...

The wind and waves at Sword-Wielding Mountain were calm and still.

Days passed by.

Xiao Ran, having lived among women for a long time, also found it somewhat boring, feeling like he was drowning in a sea of women.

I have so much energy but nowhere to channel it, it's really frustrating.

When he was with his Master, he was always the one getting beaten.

When Chuyan was with him, Chuyan unexpectedly became much gentler, rarely arguing with him, let alone exercising.

Together with my Senior Uncle, we spent our time refining medicine and researching how to refine it. We sweated a lot, but we weren't very tired.

Along with Chunwa and Qiuchan... one punch each, waah waah waah?

Or...

Why isn't so-and-so here yet? Is this all the Saint Demon Sect is capable of?

Just when Xiao Ran thought that the person from the Saint Demon Sect wouldn't come again...

Lu Pingtian has arrived.

He wasn't the only one.
