Serpent Ancestor

Xu Hei's eyes flickered as he asked, "Is there a way to make it so people can't tell I'm a puppet and think I'm a real person?"

When Li Yu examined him earlier, he discovered that Xu Hei was a puppet, which left Xu Hei quite frustrated.

Hei Huang chuckled, "Isn't it simple? Just put a living person inside."

"..." Xu Hei was speechless.

"Use this straw hat for now. Even a Great Golden Immortal won't be able to see through your identity."

Hei Huang tossed over a straw hat and put one on himself.

...

Led by Han Te, they continued forward and arrived at the island's central Sea Commerce Guild.

This was the largest trade organization on the sea, with a status far surpassing the Myriad Treasure Pavilion of the Qin Kingdom, and it was present on all the cultivator islands of the East Sea.

From the person in charge of the Sea Commerce Guild, they obtained an important piece of information.

"In a week, there will be a large trade fair held here. Everyone on the island at the Foundation Establishment Stage and above will participate, even the big shots from the secondary island will be present."

"If you wish to sell treasures, it will be more convenient to do so then. Of course, if you want to sell directly to our Sea Commerce Guild, you can, but the price might not be to your liking," the guild leader said with a smile.

He was an elderly man with graying hair, a kind smile, and sharp eyes, sizing up the butcher beside him.

"In a week?"

Xu Hei frowned slightly. Staying on the Twin Islands for so long wasn't his intention.

But now, to maximize profits, he had no choice but to wait a week.

"Hehe, I have a little insider information. It's said that the envoy from the Qin Kingdom, Lord Xu Fu, will also be present, buying all materials containing life essence at high prices, especially those that can extend life. If you have any, you might want to prepare more, as you could sell them for more than three times the usual price," the elderly man said with a smile.

Han Te's eyes lit up; he had acquired quite a few spirit medicines from the ancient relic.

Xu Hei pondered for a moment and said, "Is the emperor about to die and in a hurry to extend his life?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces changed.

"Friend, be careful with your words!"

"Watch your mouth!"

Not only did the elderly man hurriedly warn him, but even the guards beside him turned pale and trembled.

Although the Qin Emperor's reach didn't extend to the sea, Xu Fu was on the Twin Islands, and if he heard this, heads would roll.

Xu Hei was also speechless. What's wrong with saying that? Zhou Qing and the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Snake Catchers Sect were all fighting tooth and nail for the Longevity Pill, sending people to the sea to seek medicine. Isn't it obvious?

Coincidentally, he still had two Longevity Pills from Xu Bai, which might fetch a good price.

...

Twin Islands, eastern edge.

This was a gathering place for mortals, with flat and open terrain, houses everywhere, and fishermen often going out to sea to fish. But recently, with demonic winds rising and evil factions causing trouble, few fishermen dared to venture out.

Inside a simple clinic sat a young woman in white clothes and white hair. She was beautiful, with fair skin, a graceful figure, and an extraordinary presence that would be considered a rare beauty in the human world.

However, her attire was simple, showing no signs of wealth.

At this moment, she was holding a clay pot, grinding medicinal herbs.

"Doctor Xu, there's another patient."

A girl who looked like a maid ran over and spoke to the woman in white.

"Alright, bring the patient over," Xu Bai nodded.

This time, it was a man stung by a jellyfish, already in a deep coma, his body cold.

Xu Bai took out some ointment and applied it to the wound. Before long, the man's complexion turned rosy, showing signs of life.

"Take him back to rest for a week, and he should recover," Xu Bai said.

"Miracle doctor! Thank you, miracle doctor!"

Two elderly people hurriedly knelt down and took out a copper coin.

The maid quietly watched the busy Xu Bai and asked in confusion, "Doctor Xu, you treat them for just one copper coin, what do you gain?"

Since Xu Bai's arrival, it had been a month, and her clinic had gone from unknown to famous in just a month.

One copper coin per person was her rule.

The mortals here could more or less guess that she was a cultivator, but no one pried. Who would disturb someone doing charity?

"Must saving people have a motive?" Xu Bai asked in return.

The maid was stunned and fell into deep thought.

"I heard you can cure anything here. My junior brother was just bitten by a sea snake. Can you treat him?"

At this moment, three people arrived outside, two men and a woman, all appearing young.

These three were adorned with jade pendants, swords on their backs, and had an extraordinary aura. Their cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, which was rare among mortals.

At this moment, the young man who was bitten had a blackened body, festering wounds, and signs of the blackness spreading to his head.

"Sang Sang, bring the patient in."

Xu Bai's voice remained indifferent, treating everyone equally.

"Yes!"

Sang Sang quickly went to help.

"No need, my junior brother's body will fester if touched by ordinary people, so it's best not to touch him lightly," the older young man said seriously.

He moved his junior brother into the clinic from a distance.

Xu Bai stared at the person before her for a long time, then took out a pill from her bosom, crushed it, and fed it to the junior brother.

"Splurt, splurt, splurt..."

In an instant, the junior brother's body began to expel viscous substances. Xu Bai waved her hand, creating a light barrier to contain the substances, preventing them from affecting others.

After an hour, the expulsion stopped, and the junior brother slowly regained consciousness. His face was pale, but he could speak.

"Amazing! Thank you, miracle doctor!"

The senior brother was overjoyed, quickly placing a copper coin on the table, and then left.

Xu Bai watched the three leave and sighed, "It's time to go."

...

Not far away, by the sea near the Twin Islands.

The senior brother and sister who had just sought medical help arrived here, their faces dark and eyes heavy.

"Strange, this woman can even dispel the sea god's poison. It's truly bizarre!"

"Should we..."

The two exchanged a glance, a ruthless glint in their eyes.

"Better not alert her for now, lest we ruin our plans. But we must keep an eye on her," the sister in green said.

Their eyes flickered as they exchanged thoughts, then took out a jade slip, which contained a secretly recorded scene.

With a flick, the jade slip turned into a stream of light and flew into the depths of the sea.

Suddenly!

The jade slip stopped mid-air, caught by a powerful hand.

"Who?!"

The two's faces changed drastically, staring at the figure gradually appearing in the void.

It was a giant man, tall and burly, wearing a straw hat and fully armed. Though they couldn't sense any aura, both felt their hairs stand on end, as if facing a life-and-death crisis, and immediately took out communication talismans.

"Come here!"

Two octopus tentacles shot out from Xu Hei, instantly grabbing the two, who screamed in agony as they were pulled into the butcher's body.

"Crunch, crunch..."

The chilling sound of chewing echoed as the two merged with the butcher.

However, Xu Hei spared one, leaving him unconscious.
