The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 812 - 462: The Second Most Important Thing in Life

...

"She is the second most important thing in my life. The final treasure is the most important project, and I will only give it to my successor. To obtain it, you must vow never to abuse it." The soul mark suddenly turned melancholic, as the words shocked Hui Yu, who had been focused on Little Fox. Hearing about the final treasure piqued his curiosity. What could be so astonishing that this expert, highly praised by God, holds it in such high regard?

Yan Xiaobao moved back to the monument, unsure of what to do. Should he awaken the black and white Little Fox he held in his hands, or should he head to the final corner of the platform to see what this enormous treasure is?

"No rush, no rush," the voice chuckled, "I have chosen you as my successor; I won’t allow anyone to enter my final resting place until we’ve completed what we are doing. Awaken Little Huli, see if she likes you," the voice decided for Yan Xiaobao, who nodded. He wasn’t eager to rush things.

As he moved his hand to the seal on the chest of Little Fox, his fingers bit, and blood flowed down. Once the blood made contact with the seal, it began to flow through the black lines wrapped around the fox’s body.

As more blood entered the seal, the chains loosened, and the slow, steady heartbeat began to quicken and become more natural. The seal on the fox’s chest slowly began to fade, and once the chains completely vanished, the seal faded completely as well. Her adorable little round eyes opened, and they sparkled silver in the light illuminating the tomb.

"Little Huli," the soul fragment’s voice was incredibly gentle as it spoke the name of the fox. The moment the voice uttered the name, referring to the excited long-eared fox, Yan Xiaobao could feel a gentle purring ripple through its body as he held it close to his heart.

"Little Huli, the boy who is holding you now has signed a new contract with you," the voice spoke to the fox as if it could understand everything being said.

After speaking, the fox turned slightly, staring directly at Yan Xiaobao. Seeing the fox gaze at him, he had a strange feeling that she could see right through him, but it seemed the fox liked what she saw because she moved closer to Yan Xiaobao. Although the soul fragment said that Little Fox had a contract with Yan Xiaobao, there was nothing to bind the two together. If the contract emerged, it would only affect the fox herself.

"Her name is Little Huli. She is the same age as me, so don’t treat her like a young pup. She will offer you tremendous help and be a great companion by your side. I’m almost jealous; it seems she liked you more than me when we first met," the voice continued playfully. It was clear that this soul fragment enjoyed speaking with Yan Xiaobao. For a long time, it was obviously lonely, and now having someone close by, the soul fragment became very talkative.

"Quickly gather these treasures." Lan Feng spoke from within the Dantian Cave. "The green pearl seems to have understood the general situation, but all she did was glare at me, so it doesn’t seem urgent to deal with her. It would be best to let her calm down first."

Nodding, Yan Xiaobao once again looked at the monument before him. Bowing, he turned around and walked toward the final corner of the platform.

As he bowed, Little Huli in his arms squirmed uncomfortably; thus, she slipped from his embrace and climbed onto his shoulder. Proudly, she stood there as she looked around at everything happening around them.

"You’re very fortunate," Lan Feng hesitated slightly. "Beasts can’t speak to you, but I feel she’s not as simple as she appears. Upon sensing my aura, she wasn’t afraid or humbled; instead, she seemed happy. She’s not the least bit afraid of me."

A little confused, Yan Xiaobao contemplated for a moment, then made a mental note to ponder upon it later. He couldn’t do anything about it at the moment, so he proceeded toward the final corner.

Reaching it didn’t take long, but when he did, he was confounded. Before him was a small box, similar in size to the Cosmic Box, yet it didn’t resemble it.

This box was crafted from gold-colored metal, but whether it was truly gold, Yan Xiaobao didn’t know. Both sides were adorned with carvings of a beautiful lady dancing, depicting various poses on different sides.

Picking up the box, he looked at it, then returned to the monument at the platform’s center. Despite his strong desire to open the box and see what’s inside, he refrained. He waited to hear if it was safe to open.

"This item is truly remarkable, try opening it," the voice said, and Yan Xiaobao opened it. As he lifted the lid, a golden lady surged into the air, and a gentle and soothing melody began to spread in the air.

The moment the music began, Yan Xiaobao felt that his thoughts became muddled, his body turned sluggish, and his mind almost came to a halt. His heartbeat began to slow down more and more, ultimately causing him to collapse to the ground.

While Yan Xiaobao was collapsing, mist appeared before the monument. The thin fog quickly formed an old man whose face bore a greedy expression.

"Sorry, my little successor," he said with a sinister grin. "I’m not yet willing to die. This music box is undoubtedly my most precious item because it can weaken the soul of anyone who hears it."
