Chapter 299: Poison Doctor from the Ancient Times (2/2)
“Come on over!” he transmitted to his companions.
Qing Han hurried to him with the little fox and the Deaf Prince. The entrance to the tomb was right before them! The little fox tugged Qing Han’s hair in a fit of excitement.
“I can sense the bloodline of my ancestor within the tomb!” the fox transmitted unsteadily.
“Are you sure it’s the monster spirit ancestor who was buried here?” Lu Yun frowned and cast his Spectral Eye at the depths of the tomb. The coiled mountains outside had been destroyed. Although some obstacles remained to block his vision, he could gain some insights into the dead.
“There’s a human buried here… She was known as Doctor Poison!” Lu Yun was a little uncertain. A doctor of poison? There are doctors in the world of immortals as well? And why’s it a tomb of another woman?
Lu Yun shook his head. The North Sea was a region of utmost yin in the world of immortals. The most powerful beings here were mostly women or divine beasts of yin, such kunpengs and blackwater snakes.
“Eh? Human?” the little fox grumbled. “Levitating Island used to be the sacred land of the monster spirits. The one buried here must be our ancestor. Why would it be a human? Besides, how do you even know who’s buried here without entering the tomb?”
The little fox was willing to stay on Levitating Island because the island used to be her kinds’ sacred land, and was very likely to be where their ancestor’s tomb was. Compared to the skydragon tomb of the North Sea, this was a far more tempting proposition.
“The monster spirit ancestor exceeded dao immortal realm. Although this tomb dates back to the ancient times, the owner buried here did not exceed dao immortal realm, and the presence of the tomb pales in comparison to the tremendous presence released from the ancient dragon tomb. In fact, very few have even noticed this place.” Lu Yun shook his head.
From outside the entrance, he was able to gain some basic information about this Doctor Poison through his Spectral Eye. She hadn’t even ascended to the dao immortal realm, she was just a golden immortal.
However, it didn’t make sense how a golden immortal would possess such a great presence to affect the power of the land and transform Levitating Island to form a pearl-in-jade layout. She wasn’t an aristocrat, and she wasn’t a dao immortal. The tomb left after her burial shouldn’t have created such an impressive feng shui layout.
Lu Yun developed an almost compulsive curiosity for this doctor of poison.
Dejected, the little fox leapt into Qing Han’s arms and nuzzled him with her furry head.
“Strange.” The little fox cocked her head up at Qing Han. “Why does it feel so similar to be held by you and by big sister Mo Yi?”
Qing Han stilled.
“Doctor Poison! The doctor of poison from the ancient times!” the Deaf Prince suddenly roared. “Aha! So this is the tomb of the ancient poison doctor Su Xiaoxiao! It’s said that Doctor Poison was the disciple of top pill master Qi Hai, and that she’d acquired his mastery in pills!”
“This is Su Xiaoxiao’s tomb?!” Qing Han couldn’t believe his ears. With all the books he’d read, of course he would know who the woman was.
The ancient poison doctor was Qi Hai’s last disciple. She’d grasped all of her master’s tutelage and created the dao of medicine, saving countless people. However, Su Xiaoxiao swiveled between a duality of good and evil. When she felt like helping people, she might save a dying beggar of the mortal world and help him become the most powerful man in the world. When she was hit by the urge to do bad, she might scatter poison and slaughter every living thing in the world!
