Silver Wolf carefully explained the situation to Bai Zhi.
"I see... Let Ren come over, I'll take care of this for him."
"I knew you would agree. I'll go get Ah Ren now. You wait here for a while."
After saying that, a wormhole appeared beneath Silver Wolf's feet, and she instantly disappeared from Bai Zhi's sight.
"What happened to the promised holographic projection? Are you not even going to install it?"
Bai Zhi shook her head helplessly, leaned against the railing, looked at the sea, and waited for Silver Wolf to come with his blade.
"Young lady, is this the Pill Refining Department?"
An aged voice came from behind, pulling Bai Zhi's wandering thoughts back to reality.
Turning her head, she saw a little old man with white hair, and a familiar face—the girl from the Zhu Ming Immortal Boat whom she had met earlier in disguise, who called herself Yun Li.
"Sir, this is indeed the Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司). Are you here to see a doctor?"
Bai Zhi smiled warmly and said.
"Hehe, yes, this old man is getting on in years and is riddled with ailments. I heard that there is a Miss Bai Zhi in the Luofu Dan Ding Division who is a master of medicine, so I came here specifically to come and see her."
"Then there's no need for you to look anymore, sir. I am Bai Zhi. I can treat any ailment you may have."
"Oh, you must be Miss Bai Zhi. This old man's eyesight is failing, I didn't recognize you. I'm so sorry."
Yun Li also looked at Bai Zhi with curiosity. Before she came here, she had heard that this Bai Zhi Dragon Lord had brought back a weapon that could turn an ordinary person into a sword master just by holding it.
Upon hearing the news, she intended to sneak to the weapons storage location and melt down the thing that resembled the demonic sword.
But Grandpa insisted on visiting this Dragon Lord and even invited her along.
She was initially very reluctant, but after seeing Bai Zhi, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
Chapter 701 Huaiyan's Shock
"Sir, you're too kind. What ailment do you have? Let me see if I can treat it."
"Hehe, this old man doesn't know either. I'm just getting old and there are many things I can't do anymore. I just happened to come to this Luofu Immortal Ship because I heard that Miss Baizhi's medical skills are superb, so I came to take a look."
"I see. It's alright. Please give me your hand, sir, so I can treat you first."
Bai Zhi said seriously, "This old man is probably suffering from organ failure because of his advanced age. The horse talisman cannot reverse aging, but it can still repair the symptoms caused by aging."
It's something that can be easily controlled and manipulated.
Anyway, since I'm just waiting here for Ren to come, and I'm just idling around anyway, treating someone's illness is a good option.
"Oh, it seems you're quite busy here. Should I have Ah Ren and the others finish seeing the patients ahead of us before we talk?"
At that moment, Silver Wolf's voice came, followed by Blade, who jumped down from the wormhole with a cold expression.
"You're here, Blade. Come here, let me give you some treatment."
"Um... thanks."
Ren still had that cool expression on his face, but he obediently walked to Bai Zhi's side.
However, Blade's indifferent expression quickly disappeared, because the short figure in front of him turned around.
An elderly man who held an important place in his life was looking at him with a complex expression.
“Yingxing…”
The old man said something in a low voice.
He never expected to see his former prized disciple on the Luofu Immortal Ship.
"...Master."
Blade was stunned. He opened his mouth, about to say something, when he suddenly covered his head, letting out an inhuman roar, while a terrifying red light appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi ran to Ren's side in one stride, and immediately channeled the power of the horse talisman into him.
This finally calmed down the turmoil in his mind, which had even caused the demonic body to begin its further ascent.
Seeing that Ren had calmed down, Bai Zhi turned her gaze to the old man.
Having just experienced this, Bai Zhi was no longer foolish enough to think that the old man was just an ordinary old man.
After all, as a former genius craftsman, Blade's teacher, though she didn't know him, was probably no ordinary person in the Immortal Ship.
Upon witnessing what had just happened, General Huaiyan's eyes gleamed.
Bai Zhi actually managed to suppress the demonic Yin body of the blade so easily.
This is incredible.
When he first received some information from Jing Yuan that was provided to the alliance, he seriously doubted its authenticity.
For so many years, the people of the Immortal Boat have been trying to overcome the curse of the Demonic Yin Body.
Even a civilization with a fully developed understanding of biology couldn't discover anything of real strategic value in the Demon Yin.
Jing Yuan's immediate report that a young woman named Bai Zhi on the Luofu Immortal Ship had balanced his demonic body to the level of a newborn infant was simply unbelievable.
This is as absurd as someone on Earth claiming to have created a Star Destroyer with their bare hands.
If it weren't for Jing Yuan's status, and it were someone of a lower rank, this kind of information would definitely be dismissed as fake and thrown into the trash.
They even suspected that there might be some unnoticed coded message in the message Jingyuan sent.
Coincidentally, the martial arts ceremony recently began, and the matter of Huanlong has led many old men to believe that Jingyuan is completely unfit for the position of general. Therefore, after negotiating with those people, the marshal selected him and General Feixiao to come here to investigate these matters.
"Now, sir, can you tell me who you are?"
Bai Zhi looked at the old man and asked.
"He... is my master, and also the current general of the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship—Huai Yan."
Before Huaiyan could answer, Ren, who had been brought back to his senses by Baizhi's horse talisman power, said in a low voice.
"General Huaiyan?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi remembered that she seemed to have heard of this person before; he was currently the longest-lived person on the Immortal Ship.
"Haha, kid, I'm sorry, this old man just didn't want to reveal my identity."
"Old man, let me tell you the truth. Before this, I did have doubts about you, which is why I approached you in this way. But now it seems that what that kid Jingyuan said was true; you do indeed have extraordinary abilities."
At this point, Huaiyan pursed his lips, still holding back some words.
That is, he had received some information from the Alliance, saying that Bai Zhi had brought back three powerful beings comparable to Jianmu, and the fruits they bore could even increase one's mental strength and lifespan.
He inquired further and received even more outrageous information: that the fruit that could extend lifespan by 500 years and greatly enhance mental strength could be harvested in just 90 days.
When he saw this news, his first reaction was—Jing Yuan has gone mad, using the Alliance Report as a platform to write science fiction novels.
This is why, after arriving here, he did not visit Jing Yuan directly, but instead secretly investigated everywhere.
His main concern was that Jing Yuan might be nearing the end of his life, and his increasingly chaotic mind might have led him to send these reports to the Alliance that resembled something out of a science fiction movie.
After all, Jingyuan is already over 800 years old. For the average Xianzhou person, this is almost the time when they should enter the Ten Kings Division and die peacefully in their old age.
At his age, it's understandable that he's mentally confused.
So one of their missions here is to ensure that if Jing Yuan is truly delirious and about to fall into demonic possession, his command will be passed down and one of the Six Emperors will temporarily take charge of Luofu until a new general takes office.
But after seeing Bai Zhi easily rescue his beloved disciple who had fallen into demonic possession, he had a terrible thought in his mind: Could it be that the absurd things that Jing Yuan said were true?
Thinking about this, he felt a headache coming on.
Because this was so shocking, the alliance didn't react much before because they were doubting the authenticity of these things, and many people even said that there might be some hidden information inside.
If we interpret it according to certain rules, we might be able to decipher Jingyuan's true meaning.
But now it's certain that at least Angelica dahurica can cure demonic possession, so that should be true.
This one point alone is enough to cause a huge uproar in the entire league.
After all, this is something every Xianzhou person will face.
Not to mention the many more outrageous things Jingyuan reported later.
If those things were real...
He didn't even dare to imagine what Bai Zhi's status would be on the Immortal Ship in the future. He was afraid that they would immediately form an ever-victorious team no less powerful than Yao Qing's to protect Bai Zhi's safety.
Chapter 702 Silver Wolf, have you never played a Galgame before?
"Since things have come to this, Ren, you should talk to your master more."
Ren turned his head away, unsure of what to say. He felt ashamed of his teacher's teachings because of what he had done back then.
"Sigh... Yingxing, seeing that you are still alive and well, I am already satisfied."
Huaiyan smiled kindly; at his age, he had come to terms with many things.
"So you're that genius craftsman Grandpa always mentioned? How about we have a forging contest sometime?"
Yun Li stared at the blade curiously and said.
"Hey, Yunli, don't be silly. Yingxing isn't in the right state to do those things right now, and besides..."
Huai Yan stared at Bai Zhi, "Little girl, would you be interested in joining my Zhu Ming Immortal Boat? Putting everything else aside..."
"General Huaiyan, there's no need for that. Why are you all trying to poach the talents of my Luofu? Feixiao is one, and even you are one. This is so unethical."
Before Huaiyan could finish speaking, a somewhat languid voice rang out.
Following the sound, they found that Jing Yuan had arrived at some point, his face full of helplessness.
He was making arrangements to wipe out the lurking underlings when he was informed that General Feixiao had developed improper intentions towards Baizhi and had even proposed to forcibly abduct her.
He knew that Fei Xiao and Huai Yan had come to the Luofu Immortal Ship.
However, since both of them were carrying orders from the Alliance, he couldn't take the initiative to contact them. He could only let them roam around Luofu, and help Feixiao clean up the mess he made at the tavern.
But after receiving this information, he couldn't hold back any longer.
You kindly asked Bai Zhi if it could cure Yue Kuang for Fei Xiao, and this is how you repay me?
He wouldn't be too ashamed to do this just because Feixiao is a general.
It's hard to say what methods the Three-No General will use to achieve his goals.
"Haha, Jingyuan, it's been a long time."
Huai Yan showed no embarrassment at being exposed for poaching people, and instead greeted Jing Yuan very generously.
"Elder Yan has come to Luofu, but he hasn't come to the Shence Mansion. I should hold a welcome banquet for him."
Jing Yuan had a smile on his face, appearing very warm and friendly.
"You little rascal, your words are full of barbs. Alright, I won't steal your people."
Huai Yan smiled and said those words just now because he wanted to give it a try.
Although he hadn't communicated with Fei Xiao, they shared similar ideas. Bai Zhi was wasting her talent by staying in Luo Fu, a place that had been peaceful for so long. If she had gone to his Zhu Ming Immortal Ship, she would have made a greater contribution to the alliance.
However, he wasn't as eager as Feixiao.
He's so old now, he's become indifferent to many things.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to release her, but I mainly want to respect Xiao Baizhi's own opinion. Besides, she is now the Dragon Lord of Luofu Chiming, not a member of the Cloud Cavalry, so she can't be transferred at will."
Jing Yuan considered it for a moment and then said.
Bai Zhi brought him so many surprises during her time in Luofu, and no one wanted to let her go.
"Alright, kid, stop saying things like that."
Huaiyan shook his head. In his opinion, this was just an excuse, but even so, it was understandable.
After all, Bai Zhi was born on the Luofu Immortal Ship, and Jing Yuan has probably been taking care of her all along.
Otherwise, if this ability were to be leaked, Luo Fu would likely be in big trouble.
“You have protected this child very well. Even if you did lend the God-King out... with this child’s abilities, the Alliance probably won’t hold you accountable.”
Jing Yuan smiled helplessly. He knew Huai Yan had misunderstood something, but it was for the best. Keeping it a secret from everyone would allow for a greater final victory.
"So... is that magical tree you submitted before real?"
