Bai Zihe's heart was as calm as still water.
Speaking of which...
He considered himself to be quite law-abiding.
The Dragon Minister Chamber of Commerce and the million Wolf Army under his command were like ultimate hot weapons, yet he had barely mobilized them, nor had he deliberately targeted anyone.
But if...
The imperial family insisted on provoking him, then he would have no choice but to display his true strength.
"Understood."
Seeing Fang Yongzheng's frightened demeanor, Bai Zihe still replied.
After speaking, he left the Medical Association.
Fang Yongzheng watched his indifferent expression and didn't know what to say.
That was the imperial family!
Their foundation and heritage were simply terrifying!
A mere display of a little strength was enough to strike terror into people's hearts and make them prostrate themselves and beg for mercy.
Even if he wanted to help Bai Zihe, he was utterly powerless, because the Medical Association was nothing in the face of the Great Xia imperial family.
He hoped... Master Bai could overcome this hurdle.
Returning to Wang Xian Tower.
Seventh Senior Sister had not yet returned.
Bai Zihe eagerly unrolled the sheepskin scroll.
The first sheepskin scroll contained a map.
The map marked a vague area, and at the center of the area was a key symbol, presumably indicating the location of one of the ten-sided decahedrons' keys.
However, Bai Zihe took a brief glance, and the reference points on it were not familiar, so he temporarily set it aside.
The second sheepskin scroll contained a lot of information.
Bai Zihe carefully sorted through it, finding primarily a prescription.
According to the description in the prescription, a miraculous pill could be refined – the Du'e Pill.
Whenever the蠱虫 (gu worm) in Bai Ruoyi's mind acted up, taking a Du'e Pill could suppress it for a period of time, allowing Bai Ruoyi to suffer less.
The medicinal ingredients required for the Du'e Pill were extremely precious and not easy to collect.
Bai Zihe read it carefully and memorized it all.
But there was one point.
The Du'e Pill was not a panacea, as it contained a potent poison.
Therefore, when taking the Du'e Pill, it had to be taken with some antidote pills to suppress the toxicity of the Du'e Pill.
This was also merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
As the Du'e Pill was taken more often, the toxins in the body would accumulate more and more.
Over time, it would subtly alter the physique of the user, eventually turning them into a terrifying "E'nan Poison Body."
Bai Zihe put away the two sheepskin scrolls, his gaze becoming much deeper.
The Du'e Pill, like the Gu King Spirit Pearl, could only be effective for a short period. To completely resolve the gu worm in Ruoyi's mind, strength was the most fundamental guarantee.
But with the Du'e Pill, his little sister would have an additional layer of protection.
When the critical time for the Gu King Spirit Pearl arrived, his little sister would not suddenly fall into a state of extreme danger.
Strength!
It was still not enough strength.
Bai Zihe felt a sense of urgency. He sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting for Seventh Senior Sister to return while also cultivating.
"Little Junior Brother."
At this moment, Yao Ke'er returned.
The smile on her face seemed a little forced: "The matter of those three imperial guards has been resolved, you can rest assured."
Bai Zihe hadn't taken those three seriously in the first place.
But Seventh Senior Sister had made a special trip...
Bai Zihe said gratefully, "Seventh Senior Sister, thank you for your trouble!"
"Why are you being so polite with me?"
Yao Ke'er smiled faintly and said, "Fifth Senior Sister just called me, saying your phone ran out of battery."
"She asked me to tell you that the President of the Ancient Martial Arts Association in Jiangdong Provincial City, Gu Chengkong, is getting impatient and has repeatedly challenged the territory of Second Senior Sister."
"You should go back quickly."
Challenge?
Bai Zihe snorted coldly.
A total of ten keys had now appeared.
According to predictions, ten keys should be able to open the ten-sided decahedron.
He already held seven keys, besides the ones recorded on the sheepskin scrolls, the other two were with the Xu and Zhou families.
He hadn't gone looking for them, but they had started to make a fuss.
It was the perfect opportunity to get the keys.
"Seventh Senior Sister, then I will return to Jiangdong first."
Bai Zihe looked into Yao Ke'er's beautiful eyes and instructed, "If anything happens here, whether it's the Yao family or that Prince..."
"If they dare to trouble you, even if they are thousands of miles away, even if my influence cannot reach, I will come day and night to seek justice for you!"
Bai Zihe's words were sonorous and powerful, exuding unparalleled dominance.
Yao Ke'er was deeply moved by his words.
But...
The imperial family was not something that could be easily shaken, and it would only put her little junior brother in danger.
She smiled brightly, but her words were somewhat insincere: "Understood, Little Junior Brother, hurry back and deal with the matters in the provincial city first."
"I'll see you off at the airport."
